Spinacetin Suppresses the Mast Cell Activation and Passive Cutaneous Anaphylaxis in Mouse Model.

ABSTRACT: We previously reported the anti-inflammatory and anti-asthmatic activities of the extract of the Inula japonica Thunb. Aiming for discovery of a novel anti-inflammatory compound, we isolated spinacetin from the extract and investigated its in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory effect and the related mechanism. Effect of spinacetin on the Syk signaling pathway was studied in bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs), and that on the nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) was investigated in Rat basophilic leukemia (RBL)-2H3 cells and human mast cell line (HMC-1). The in vivo anti-inflammatory activity was assessed with passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction assay. Spinacetin significantly inhibited the release of histamine, and production of inflammatory mediators such as leukotriene C₄ (LTC₄) and interlukin-6 (IL-6) in IgE/Ag stimulated BMMCs. Analysis of the signaling pathways demonstrated that spinacetin inhibited activation of Syk, linker of activated T cells (LAT), phospholipase C? (PLC?), cytosolic phospholipase A₂ (cPLA₂), MAPKs, Akt/NF-?B, and intracellular Ca²⁺ mobilization but with no effect on Fyn and Lyn. On the other hand, spinacetin suppressed IgE/Ag-induced activation of RBL-2H3 cells with inhibition against phosphorylation of extracellular signal regulated-protein kinase (ERK), c-Jun-NH₂-terminal kinase (JNK), p38 MAPKs, PLC?, translocation of cPLA₂, and Akt/I?B?/NF-?B signal. However, spinacetin had no effect on PMA and A23187-induced activation of HMC-1. Furthermore, oral administration of spinacetin dose-dependently attenuated IgE/Ag-mediated PCA reaction in mouse model. Taken together, spinacetin showed the activities in preventing inflammatory processes, which might be at least partially attributed to the abolishment of Syk-dependent activation of IgE/Ag-mediated mast cells.

Project description:BackgroundPsychological stress and heightened mast cell (MC) activation are linked with important immunologic disorders, including allergy, anaphylaxis, asthma, and functional bowel diseases, but the mechanisms remain poorly defined. We have previously demonstrated that activation of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) system potentiates MC degranulation responses during IgE-mediated anaphylaxis and psychological stress through corticotropin-releasing factor receptor subtype 1 (CRF1) expressed on MCs.ObjectiveIn this study we investigated the role of corticotropin-releasing factor receptor subtype 2 (CRF2) as a modulator of stress-induced MC degranulation and associated disease pathophysiology.MethodsIn vitro MC degranulation assays were performed with bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) derived from wild-type (WT) and CRF2-deficient (CRF2-/-) mice and RBL-2H3 MCs transfected with CRF2-overexpressing plasmid or CRF2 small interfering RNA. In vivo MC responses and associated pathophysiology in IgE-mediated passive systemic anaphylaxis and acute psychological restraint stress were measured in WT, CRF2-/-, and MC-deficient KitW-sh/W-sh knock-in mice.ResultsCompared with WT mice, CRF2-/- mice exhibited greater serum histamine levels and exacerbated IgE-mediated anaphylaxis and colonic permeability. In addition, CRF2-/- mice exhibited increased serum histamine levels and colonic permeability after acute restraint stress. Experiments with BMMCs and RBL-2H3 MCs demonstrated that CRF2 expressed on MCs suppresses store-operated Ca2+ entry signaling and MC degranulation induced by diverse MC stimuli. Experiments with MC-deficient KitW-sh/W-sh mice systemically engrafted with WT and CRF2-/- BMMCs demonstrated the functional importance of MC CRF2 in modulating stress-induced pathophysiology.ConclusionsMC CRF2 is a negative global modulator of stimuli-induced MC degranulation and limits the severity of IgE-mediated anaphylaxis and stress-related disease pathogenesis.
