Stimulatory effect of pervanadate on calcium signals and histamine secretion of RBL-2H3 cells.

ABSTRACT: We examined the effect of pervanadate on the activation of rat basophilic leukaemia (RBL-2H3) cells. The pervanadate, generated from a combination of H2O2 and vanadate (Vi), induced concomitantly protein tyrosine phosphorylation, formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), an increase in [Ca2+]i, and histamine secretion in RBL-2H3 cells. These effects were clearly dependent on the ratio of H2O2/Vi. The secretion of histamine, IP3 formation, and sustained increase in [Ca2+]i were effectively induced by treatment of the cells with the pervanadate produced from 1 mM H2O2 and 1 mM Vi. These effects mimic the stimulatory effects of an antigen (dinitrophenylated BSA) on Ca2+ signals, histamine secretion and morphological changes. Protein tyrosine phosphorylation, formation of IP3 and transient increase in [Ca2+]i were markedly induced by the pervanadate produced from 3 mM H2O2 and 1 mM Vi. However, histamine secretion induced by the pervanadate was very low. After the pervanadate from 3 mM H2O2 and 1 mM Vi was treated with catalase, it was able to induce the [Ca2+]i increase and histamine secretion as much as the antigen did. This indicates that pervanadate from a lower H2O2 concentration (1 mM H2O2/1 mM Vi) and catalase-treated pervanadate from a higher H2O2 concentration (3 mM H2O2/1 mM Vi) are able to mimic the activity that was caused by cross-linking of IgE receptors with antigen. The present results also demonstrate that protein tyrosine phosphorylation seems to have a crucial role in Ca2+ entry from the external medium, and that a sustained [Ca2+]i increase is an important step for histamine secretion in RBL-2H3 cells.

Proteomic Analysis of Lipid Rafts from RBL-2H3 Mast Cells.

Project description:Lipid rafts are highly ordered membrane microdomains enriched in cholesterol, glycosphingolipids, and certain proteins. They are involved in the regulation of cellular processes in diverse cell types, including mast cells (MCs). The MC lipid raft protein composition was assessed using qualitative mass spectrometric characterization of the proteome from detergent-resistant membrane fractions from RBL-2H3 MCs. Using two different post-isolation treatment methods, a total of 949 lipid raft associated proteins were identified. The majority of these MC lipid raft proteins had already been described in the RaftProtV2 database and are among highest cited/experimentally validated lipid raft proteins. Additionally, more than half of the identified proteins had lipid modifications and/or transmembrane domains. Classification of identified proteins into functional categories showed that the proteins were associated with cellular membrane compartments, and with some biological and molecular functions, such as regulation, localization, binding, catalytic activity, and response to stimulus. Furthermore, functional enrichment analysis demonstrated an intimate involvement of identified proteins with various aspects of MC biological processes, especially those related to regulated secretion, organization/stabilization of macromolecules complexes, and signal transduction. This study represents the first comprehensive proteomic profile of MC lipid rafts and provides additional information to elucidate immunoregulatory functions coordinated by raft proteins in MCs.

The lectin ArtinM activates RBL-2H3 mast cells without inducing degranulation.

Project description:Mast cells are connective tissue resident cells with morphological and functional characteristics that contribute to their role in allergic and inflammatory processes, host defense and maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Mast cell activation results in the release of pro-inflammatory mediators which are largely responsible for the physiological functions of mast cells. The lectin ArtinM, extracted from Artocarpus heterophyllus (jackfruit), binds to D-manose, thus inducing degranulation of mast cells. ArtinM has several immunomodulatory properties including acceleration of wound healing, and induction of cytokine release. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of ArtinM in the activation and proliferation of mast cells. The rat mast cell line RBL-2H3 was used throughout this study. At a low concentration (0.25?g/mL), ArtinM induced mast cell activation and the release of IL-6 without stimulating the release of pre-formed or newly formed mediators. Additionally, when the cells were activated by ArtinM protein tyrosine phosphorylation was stimulated. The low concentration of ArtinM also activated the transcription factor NFkB, but not NFAT. ArtinM also affected the cell cycle and stimulated cell proliferation. Therefore, ArtinM may have therapeutic applications by modulating immune responses due to its ability to activate mast cells and promote the release of newly synthesized mediators. Additionally, ArtinM could have beneficial effects at low concentrations without degranulating mast cells and inducing allergic reactions.

Phospholipase D2 Modulates the Secretory Pathway in RBL-2H3 Mast Cells.

Project description:Phospholipase D (PLD) hydrolyses phosphatidylcholine to produce phosphatidic acid (PA) and choline. It has two isoforms, PLD1 and PLD2, which are differentially expressed depending on the cell type. In mast cells it plays an important role in signal transduction. The aim of the present study was to clarify the role of PLD2 in the secretory pathway. RBL-2H3 cells, a mast cell line, transfected to overexpress catalytically active (PLD2CA) and inactive (PLD2CI) forms of PLD2 were used. Previous observations showed that the Golgi complex was well organized in CA cells, but was disorganized and dispersed in CI cells. Furthermore, in CI cells, the microtubule organizing center was difficult to identify and the microtubules were disorganized. These previous observations demonstrated that PLD2 is important for maintaining the morphology and organization of the Golgi complex. To further understand the role of PLD2 in secretory and vesicular trafficking, the role of PLD2 in the secretory process was investigated. Incorporation of sialic acid was used to follow the synthesis and transport of glycoconjugates in the cell lines. The modified sialic acid was subsequently detected by labeling with a fluorophore or biotin to visualize the localization of the molecule after a pulse-chase for various times. Glycoconjugate trafficking was slower in the CI cells and labeled glycans took longer to reach the plasma membrane. Furthermore, in CI cells sialic acid glycans remained at the plasma membrane for longer periods of time compared to RBL-2H3 cells. These results suggest that PLD2 activity plays an important role in regulating glycoconjugate trafficking in mast cells.

Anti-Allergic Effects of Myrciaria dubia (Camu-Camu) Fruit Extract by Inhibiting Histamine H1 and H4 Receptors and Histidine Decarboxylase in RBL-2H3 Cells.

Project description:Although Myrciaria dubia (camu-camu) has been shown to exert anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in both in vitro and in vivo studies, its use in allergic responses has not been elucidated. In the present study, the anti-allergic effect of 70% ethanol camu-camu fruit extract was tested on calcium ionophore (A23187)-induced allergies in RBL-2H3 cells. The RBL-2H3 cells were induced with 100 nM A23187 for 6 h, followed by a 1 h camu-camu fruit extract treatment. A23187 sanitization exacerbated mast cell degranulation; however, camu-camu fruit extract decreased the release of histamine and β-hexosaminidase, which are considered as key biomarkers in cell degranulation. Camu-camu fruit extract inhibited cell exocytosis by regulating the calcium/nuclear factor of activated T cell (NFAT) signaling. By downregulating the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling, camu-camu fruit extract hindered the activation of both histamine H1 and H4 receptors and inhibited histidine decarboxylase (HDC) expression by mediating its transcription factors KLF4/SP1 and GATA2/MITF. In A23187-induced ROS overproduction, camu-camu fruit extract activated nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) to protect mast cells against A23187-induced oxidative stress. These findings indicate that camu-camu fruit extract can be developed to act as a mast cell stabilizer and an anti-histamine. This work also "opens the door" to new investigations using natural products to achieve breakthroughs in allergic disorder treatment.

FcepsilonRI cross-linking-induced actin assembly mediates calcium signalling in RBL-2H3 mast cells.

Project description:1. To determine the role of actin assembly in the Ca(2+) signalling of mast cells activated by cross-linking of FcepsilonRI, we examined the effects of cytochalasin D, an inhibitor of actin polymerization. 2. In the RBL-2H3 cells, F-actin content was increased by sensitization with anti-dinitrophenol (DNP) IgE. In these cells, cytochalasin D induced oscillatory increases in cytosolic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)); these increase were inhibited by jasplakinolide, a stabilizer of actin filaments. 3. In the IgE-sensitized RBL-2H3 cells, DNP-human serum albumin (DNP-HSA) augmented actin assembly. DNP-HSA also increased the production of IP(3), [Ca(2+)](i) and degranulation. Cytochalasin D enhanced all of these DNP-HSA-induced effects. 4. In a Ca(2+)-free solution, DNP-HSA induced a transient increase in [Ca(2+)](i), and this increase was accelerated by cytochalasin D. After cessation of the DNP-HSA-induced Ca(2+) release, the re-addition of Ca(2+) induced a sustained increase in [Ca(2+)](i) through capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE), and this increase was enhanced by cytochalasin D. 5 The effect of cytochalasin D in enhancing the CCE activity was prevented by xestospongin C. 6. In contrast, neither the Ca(2+) release nor the CCE activation that was induced by thapsigargin was affected by cytochalasin D. 7. These results suggest that actin de-polymerization stimulates the FcepsilonRI-mediated signalling to augment the release of Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum in RBL-2H3 cells.

Transcriptional profiling of Aspergillus fumigatus in response to RBL-2H3 mast cells

Project description:In patients with chronic pulmonary disease colonization with the mold Aspergillus fumigatus is associated with declining pulmonary function and obstructive airway disease. One potential effector of this inflammatory response is the pulmonary mast cell. In vitro studies have demonstrated that A. fumigatus contact induces IgE-independent mast cell degranulation. Conversely, the Aspergillus secondary metabolite gliotoxin has been shown to suppress mast cell activation. These contradictory results emphasize the need for a better understanding of the interactions between A. fumigatus and mast cells. Thus, the objective of this work was to identify A. fumigatus genes that are differentially regulated upon exposure to mast cells. Transcriptional profiling experiments indicated that, in addition to genes encoding for iron acquisition systems, allergens and putative virulence factors, genes from the gliotoxin biosynthesis cluster were significantly down-regulated upon exposure to mast cells. Globally, the results from this study provide insight into the A. fumigatus response to mast cells and suggest that one mechanism by which the host may circumvent the effects of gliotoxin is via the suppression of fungal gliotoxin synthesis by mast cells.

Effects of deuterium oxide on cell growth and vesicle speed in RBL-2H3 cells.

Project description:For the first time we show the effects of deuterium oxide on cell growth and vesicle transport in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cells. RBL-2H3 cells cultured with 15 moles/L deuterium showed decreased cell growth which was attributed to cells not doubling their DNA content. Experimental observations also showed an increase in vesicle speed for cells cultured in deuterium oxide. This increase in vesicle speed was not observed in deuterium oxide cultures treated with a microtubule-destabilizing drug, suggesting that deuterium oxide affects microtubule-dependent vesicle transport.

Luteolin suppresses 5-hydroxytryptamine elevation in stimulated RBL-2H3 cells and experimental colitis mice.

Project description:Increased 5-hydroxytryptamine may be associated with the development and progression of inflammatory bowel disease. In this study, we examined the suppressive effect of flavonoids on the increased intra- and extracellular 5-hydroxytryptamine levels in rat mast RBL-2H3 cells, known to produce 5-hydroxytryptamine by the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate stimulation. Among the flavonoids examined, luteolin and quercetin significantly reduced the cellular 5-hydroxytryptamine concentration. Gene and protein expression analyses revealed that luteolin significantly suppressed cellular tryptophan hydroxylase 1 expression induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate stimulation. Mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling was also suppressed by luteolin, suggesting that this pathway is one of targets of 5-hydroxytryptamine modulation by luteolin. An in vivo experimental colitis model was prepared by administering 2.5% dextran sodium sulfate in drinking water to C57BL/6 mice for seven days. The ingestion of 0.1% dietary luteolin suppressed the increasing 5-hydroxytryptamine in the colorectal mucosa. In conclusion, luteolin possesses a suppressive effect on extensive 5-hydroxytryptamine formation in both experimental RBL-2H3 cells and colitis models.

Inhibitory effect of Japanese black vinegar on IgE-mediated degranulation of RBL-2H3 cells and a murine model of Japanese cedar pollinosis.

Project description:Japanese black vinegar (JBV) is a traditional vinegar manufactured with steamed unpolished rice. After screening, beneficial effects of JBV on IgE-mediated allergic responses were found. In this study, acetic acid-free JBV was used to evaluate its antiallergic effects. JBV suppressed degranulation of rat basophilic leukemia RBL-2H3 cells in a dose-dependent manner without cytotoxicity. The inhibitory effect of JBV on the degranulation seemed to be caused by the bioactive ingredients other than proteins, because the activity was not affected by heat treatment or protease digestion. JBV inhibited the elevation in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration induced by antigen. Immunoblot analysis revealed that JBV suppresses degranulation of RBL-2H3 cells by downregulated phosphorylation of PI3K, Akt, and PLCγ1. In addition, oral administration of JBV significantly suppressed passive cutaneous anaphylaxis reaction in mice and an allergic symptom in Cry j1-induced pollinosis model mice. Thus, JBV has a potential as a health-promoting food with the antiallergy effect.

Inhibitory effect of aqueous extract of Cuminum cyminum L. seed on degranulation of RBL-2H3 cells and passive cutaneous anaphylaxis reaction in mice.

Project description:Cuminum cyminum L. (cumin) seed is used as a spice in various countries. Although several functions of the components in cumin seed have been reported, the anti-allergic effect of the water-soluble component in cumin seed has not been reported yet. In this study, we focused on the suppressive effect of cumin seed aqueous extract on degranulation in order to reveal the anti-allergic effect of cumin. Cumin seed aqueous extract significantly suppressed the antigen-induced degranulation of rat basophilic leukemia cell line RBL-2H3 cells in a dose-dependent manner without cytotoxicity. The extract also inhibited the elevation of the intracellular calcium ion concentration induced by antigen. Immunoblot analysis revealed that the extract suppresses phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, Bruton's tyrosine kinase, phospholipase C-γ1/2, and Akt in the signaling pathways activated by antigen induction via FcεRI. Furthermore, the extract suppressed microtubule formation induced by antigen. In addition, oral administration of cumin seed aqueous extract significantly suppressed the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis reaction in BALB/c mice. Our findings suggest that cumin seed contains water-soluble components with the anti-allergic effect. Therefore, cumin seed has potential as anti-allergic functional food.
