Methods: Four and 7 days after Walker tumor implantation in the right armpit, carrageenan or dextran-induced edema in the contralateral paw, carrageenan induced neutrophil migration into peritoneal cavities, cutaneous vascular permeability induced by bradykinin, histamine, serotonin, substance P, capsaicin or compound 48/80, and mesenteric mast cell degranulation induced by compound 48/80 were evaluated. The control group did not receive tumor implantation. Statistical analysis was performed using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by the Bonferroni test. Results: On the 7 th day after tumor inoculation, there were significant decreases in both carrageenan and dextran-induced paw edema. Tumor bearing did not change the neutrophil infiltration induced by carrageenan. There were decreases in cutaneous vascular permeability induced by compound 48/80, serotonin or bradykinin, but not that induced by histamine, substance P. A significant inhibition of mesenteric mast cell degranulation induced by compound 48/80 was observed, on the 4 th and 7 th days after tumor inoculation. Conclusion: Tumor bearing can limit mast cell function and vascular events in acute systemic inflammation in rats, without changes in neutrophil migration.
