Effect of N-5’ on Histamine Release from Rat Peritoneal Exudate Cells Induced by Calcium lonophore and ATP

Effect of N-5' on histamine release from rat peritoneal exudate cells induced by calcium ionophore and ATP.

We studied the effect of N-(3,4-dimethoxycinnamoyl)anthranilic acid (N-5'), an orally applicable anti-allergic drug, on the histamine release induced by calcium ionophores (A23187 and X537A) and ATP from rat peritoneal exudate cells (PEC). X537A (0.1-33.3 micrograms/ml) induced histamine release in a concentration-related manner, and 2.0 micrograms/ml of X537A induced release to the same extent...

Synergistic effects of calcium-mobilizing agents and adenosine on histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells.

1. Adenosine and its metabolically stable analogue N-ethyl-carboxamidoadenosine (NECA) enhance histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells when these are stimulated by calcium-mobilizing agents. NECA and adenosine shift the concentration-response curve of the calcium ionophore A23187 to lower concentrations. 2. The potencies of NECA or adenosine in enhancing A23187-induced histamine releas...

Potentiation by phosphatidylserine of calcium-dependent histamine release from rat mast cells induced by concanavalin A.

Inhibitory effect of the CA2+ antagonist nifedipine on histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells.

45Ca uptake and histamine release was examined in mast cells from rats sensitized with ovalbumin and Bordetella Bertussis as an adjuvant. The uptake of 45Ca by the mast cells was significantly increased by stimulation with ovalbumin as was the release of histamine from the mast cells. Nifedipine, a calcium antagonist, inhibited the increase in both 45Ca uptake and histamine release stimulated b...

Recovery of purification-associated reduction in antigen-induced histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells.

Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-dependent histamine release from purified rat peritoneal mast cells (PMC) is very low in comparison to that from a non-purified preparation (PEC). The reduced histamine release from PMC is recovered or potentiated by reconstitution with separated non-mast cells (NMC). In the present study, further characterization was undertaken to elucidate the mechanisms involved. Sensi...
