Rat mast cells permeabilized with Sendai virus secrete histamine in response to Ca2+ buffered in the micromolar range.

ABSTRACT: In the presence of low extracellular Ca2+, Sendai virus generates permeability lesions in the membrane of rat mast cells. This causes leakage of intracellular phosphorylated metabolites and lactate dehydrogenase; it also permits uptake of normally impermeant aqueous solutes such as the complex of Ca2+ with N-hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetic acid. We have used this system to buffer the concentration of cytosol Ca2+ in the micromolar range and thus to cause release of the contents of the secretory granules such as histamine and beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase. We argue that such release occurs by a normal exocytotic secretory mechanism for the following reasons. (1) While leakage of cytosol components is progressively inhibited by Ca2+ in the range 1-10 microM, release of histamine is dependent on Ca2+ in this range. Higher concentrations of Ca2+ are inhibitory to both permeabilization and histamine release. (2) While leakage of phosphorylated metabolites is enhanced in metabolically inhibited cells and the leakage of lactate dehydrogenase is insensitive to metabolic inhibition, the release of histamine and beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase is strictly dependent on an intact metabolic process.

Macrophage Response to Sendai virus infection.

Project description:Thus, mouse macrophage cultures were established from PBMCs isolated from wild-type control mice and were inoculated with SeV (Sendai virus) or UV-SeV (UV-inactivated SeV). These microarrays were performed in concert with assays of CCL5 and CCR5 expression, viral replication, and cellular apoptosis. Initial experiments indicated that wild-type mouse macrophages inoculated with SeV exhibit induction of CCL5 mRNA to the highest level of any known mouse gene product, while mRNA levels for CCL5 receptors (CCR5 as well as CCR3 and CCR1) or alternative ligands for these receptors (CCL3 and CCL4) were relatively unchanged by viral infection.

Assessment of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ depletion during spontaneous Ca2+ waves in isolated permeabilized rabbit ventricular cardiomyocytes.

Project description:In this study, Ca2+ release due to spontaneous Ca2+ waves was measured both from inside the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and from the cytosol of rabbit cardiomyocytes. These measurements utilized Fluo5N-AM for intra-SR Ca2+ from intact cells and Fluo5F in the cytosol of permeabilized cells. Restricted subcellular volumes were resolved with the use of laser-scanning confocal microscopy. Local Ca2+ signals during spontaneous Ca2+ release were compared with those induced by rapid caffeine application. The free cytoplasmic [Ca2+] increase during a Ca2+ wave was 98.1% +/- 0.3% of that observed during caffeine application. Conversion to total Ca2+ release suggested that Ca2+ release from a Ca2+ wave was not significantly different from that released during caffeine application (104% +/- 6%). In contrast, the maximum decrease in intra-SR Fluo-5N fluorescence during a Ca2+ wave was 82.5% +/- 2.6% of that observed during caffeine application. Assuming a maximum free [Ca2+] of 1.1 mM, this translates to a 96.2% +/- 0.8% change in intra-SR free [Ca2+] and a 91.7% +/- 1.6% depletion of the total Ca2+. This equates to a minimum intra-SR free Ca2+ of 46 +/- 7 microM during a Ca2+ wave. Reduction of RyR2 Ca2+ sensitivity by tetracaine (50 microM) reduced the spontaneous Ca2+ release frequency while increasing the Ca2+ wave amplitude. This did not significantly change the total depletion of the SR (94.5% +/- 1.1%). The calculated minimum [Ca2+] during these Ca2+ waves (87 +/- 19 microM) was significantly higher than control (p < 0.05). A computational model incorporating this level of Ca2+ depletion during a Ca2+ wave mimicked the transient and sustained effects of tetracaine on spontaneous Ca2+ release. In conclusion, spontaneous Ca2+ release results in substantial but not complete local Ca2+ depletion of the SR. Furthermore, measurements suggest that Ca2+ release terminates when luminal [Ca2+] reaches approximately 50 microM.

Mast cell-derived histamine mediates cystitis pain.

Project description:BackgroundMast cells trigger inflammation that is associated with local pain, but the mechanisms mediating pain are unclear. Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a bladder disease that causes debilitating pelvic pain of unknown origin and without consistent inflammation, but IC symptoms correlate with elevated bladder lamina propria mast cell counts. We hypothesized that mast cells mediate pelvic pain directly and examined pain behavior using a murine model that recapitulates key aspects of IC.Methods and findingsInfection of mice with pseudorabies virus (PRV) induces a neurogenic cystitis associated with lamina propria mast cell accumulation dependent upon tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF), TNF-mediated bladder barrier dysfunction, and pelvic pain behavior, but the molecular basis for pelvic pain is unknown. In this study, both PRV-induced pelvic pain and bladder pathophysiology were abrogated in mast cell-deficient mice but were restored by reconstitution with wild type bone marrow. Pelvic pain developed normally in TNF- and TNF receptor-deficient mice, while bladder pathophysiology was abrogated. Conversely, genetic or pharmacologic disruption of histamine receptor H1R or H2R attenuated pelvic pain without altering pathophysiology.ConclusionsThese data demonstrate that mast cells promote cystitis pain and bladder pathophysiology through the separable actions of histamine and TNF, respectively. Therefore, pain is independent of pathology and inflammation, and histamine receptors represent direct therapeutic targets for pain in IC and other chronic pain conditions.

Sendai virus causes a rise in intracellular free Ca2+ before cell fusion.

Project description:1. Sendai virus caused a large increase in the concentration of free Ca(2+) within human erythrocyte ghosts detected by the Ca(2+)-activated photoprotein obelin. 2. The increase in intracellular [Ca(2+)] preceded fusion. However, fusion could also be observed in the absence of a detectable rise in intracellular free [Ca(2+)]. 3. It was concluded that the increase in intracellular free [Ca(2+)] was not an absolute requirement for cell fusion, but may be necessary to produce fusion at the maximum rate.

COVID-19: Famotidine, Histamine, Mast Cells, and Mechanisms.

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 infection is required for COVID-19, but many signs and symptoms of COVID-19 differ from common acute viral diseases. SARS-CoV-2 infection is necessary but not sufficient for development of clinical COVID-19 disease. Currently, there are no approved pre- or post-exposure prophylactic COVID-19 medical countermeasures. Clinical data suggest that famotidine may mitigate COVID-19 disease, but both mechanism of action and rationale for dose selection remain obscure. We have investigated several plausible hypotheses for famotidine activity including antiviral and host-mediated mechanisms of action. We propose that the principal mechanism of action of famotidine for relieving COVID-19 symptoms involves on-target histamine receptor H2 activity, and that development of clinical COVID-19 involves dysfunctional mast cell activation and histamine release. Based on these findings and associated hypothesis, new COVID-19 multi-drug treatment strategies based on repurposing well-characterized drugs are being developed and clinically tested, and many of these drugs are available worldwide in inexpensive generic oral forms suitable for both outpatient and inpatient treatment of COVID-19 disease.

Airway Epithelial Cell Response to Sendai virus infection

Project description:Oligonucleotide microarrays were used to establish a profile for gene expression in wild-type airway epithelial cells after paramyxoviral infection. Analysis was performed on mRNA isolated from SeV-infected primary-culture mouse tracheal epithelial cells that were maintained under physiologic conditions (air-liquid interface). Experiment Overall Design: Primary-culture mouse tracheal epithelial cells (mTECs) were established on Transwell membranes using air-liquid interface (ALI) conditions. Sendai virus (SeV), strain 52, was obtained from American Type Culture Collection and stored at -70Â°C. Cultures were inoculated with SeV or an equivalent amount of UV-inactivated SeV (SeV-UV) in the apical compartment for 1 h at 37 Â°C. Air-liquid-interface conditions were re-established by washing the membrane with PBS. Each culture well was subjected to one of two treatments (SeV, or UV-SeV) for 1 day. N = 4 SeV wells, N = 6 UV-SeV wells, with each well independently analyzed by microarray. No technical replicates were performed, but arrays were evaluated for quality control using the SimpleAffy package (Miller CJ, 2004) in Bioconductor 2.0.

Ca2+ waves initiate antigen-stimulated Ca2+ responses in mast cells.

Project description:Ca(2+) mobilization is central to many cellular processes, including stimulated exocytosis and cytokine production in mast cells. Using single cell stimulation by IgE-specific Ag and high-speed imaging of conventional or genetically encoded Ca(2+) sensors in rat basophilic leukemia and bone marrow-derived rat mast cells, we observe Ca(2+) waves that originate most frequently from the tips of extended cell protrusions, as well as Ca(2+) oscillations throughout the cell that usually follow the initiating Ca(2+) wave. In contrast, Ag conjugated to the tip of a micropipette stimulates local, repetitive Ca(2+) puffs at the region of cell contact. Initiating Ca(2+) waves are observed in most rat basophilic leukemia cells stimulated with soluble Ag and are sensitive to inhibitors of Ca(2+) release from endoplasmic reticulum stores and to extracellular Ca(2+), but they do not depend on store-operated Ca(2+) entry. Knockdown of transient receptor potential channel (TRPC)1 and TRPC3 channel proteins by short hairpin RNA reduces the sensitivity of these cells to Ag and shifts the wave initiation site from protrusions to the cell body. Our results reveal spatially encoded Ca(2+) signaling in response to immunoreceptor activation that utilizes TRPC channels to specify the initiation site of the Ca(2+) response.
