Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) was reported to induce mast cell proliferation and aggravate allergic reactions through activation of mouse double minute 2 (MDM2). We aimed to ascertain that β-sitosterol (SI), which is one of the several phytosterols found mostly in foods, would regulate TSLP-induced mast cell proliferation. The results showed that SI significantly decreased the proliferation of human mast cell line (HMC-1) cells promoted by TSLP. SI significantly decreased the mRNA expression of Ki-67 in the TSLP-treated HMC-1 cells. SI significantly suppressed the production and mRNA expression of interleukin-13 in the TSLP-treated HMC-1 cells. Furthermore, SI downregulated the expression of MDM2 and phosphorylation of STAT6, whereas it upregulated the expression of p53, activation of caspase-3, and cleavage of poly ADP-ribose polymerase in the TSLP-treated HMC-1 cells. Results of this study suggest that SI may be a potential therapeutic agent for mast cell-mediated allergic diseases.
