Abstract
Normal rat mast cells were stimulated by antibodies against Ig[immunoglobulin]E receptors (anti-RBL [rat basophilic leukemia cells]) or by anti-IgE; [3H]methyl group incorporation into phospholipids, 45Ca uptake and histamine release were examined. Anti-RBL or its F(ab'')2 fragments and anti-IgE induced an increase in the incorporation of [3H]methyl into phospholipids, in 45Ca influx and in histamine release. Fab'' monomer fragments of anti-RBL induced none of these reactions. The transient increase of [3H]methyl incorporation in lipids peaked within 15 s after the addition of anti-RBL or anti-IgE and fell to basal level in 30 s. This was followed by an influx of 45Ca that increased to a maximum in 2 min and by histamine release that reached a maximum in 3 min. Inhibition of phospholipid methylation resulted in an inhibition of 45Ca influx and histamine release. Phospholipid methylation in rat mast cells is apparently induced by bridging of IgE receptors on the cell surface and that increased methylation of phospholipids sets the stage for an influx of Ca2+ and subsequent release of histamine.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
