Abstract
The transmembrane adaptor protein (TRAP), NTAL, is phosphorylated in mast cells following FcvarepsilonRI aggregation whereby it cooperates with LAT to induce degranulation. The Kit ligand, stem cell factor (SCF), enhances antigen-induced degranulation and this also appears to be NTAL-dependent. However, Kit and FcvarepsilonRI appear to utilize different mechanisms to induce NTAL phosphorylation. Thus, we examined whether the responsible kinases selectively phosphorylated distinct tyrosines in NTAL and explored the implications for downstream signaling. Whereas FcvarepsilonRI required Lyn and Syk for NTAL phosphorylation, Kit appeared to directly phosphorylate NTAL. Furthermore, co-transfection studies with NTAL constructs revealed that Lyn, Syk, and Kit phosphorylate different tyrosines in NTAL. The tyrosines principally phosphorylated by Syk were recognized as Grb2-binding sites, whereas Lyn and Kit phosphorylated other tyrosines, both inside and outside of these motifs. Pull down studies revealed that PLCgamma1 associated with the two terminal Syk-phosphorylated Grb2-binding sites, which would help to explain the observed decrease in antigen-induced calcium signal and degranulation in NTAL-knock down-human mast cells. The observations reported herein support the conclusion that NTAL may be differentially utilized by specific receptors for relaying alternative signals and this suggests a flexibility in the function of TRAPs not previously appreciated.

Abstract
Eupatilin, an extract from Artemisia asiatica Nakai, is known to exert anti-gastric ulcer, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of this study was to elucidate whether eupatilin has antiallergic reactions in activated guinea pig lung mast cells compared to apigenin and genistein. Mast cells were purified from guinea pig lung tissues by using enzyme digestion and rough and discontinuous density Percoll gradient. The purified mast cells were sensitized with immunoglobulin (Ig) G(1) (anti-OVA antibody) and challenged with ovalbumin (OVA). Histamine was assayed using an automated fluorometric analyzer, leukotrienes by radioimmunoassay, and tyrosine phosphorylation by immunoblotting. Intracellular Ca(2+) was analyzed by confocal laser scanning microscopy, protein kinase C (PKC) activity using protein phosphorylated with [gamma-(32)P]ATP, and phopholipase D activity (PLD) and phosphatidic acid by using labeled phosphatidyl alcohol. Eupatilin, apigenin, or genistein reduced histamine release and leukotriene synthesis in a does-dependent manner. Eupatilin inhibited mediators to a greater extent than apigenin or genistein. Eupatilin, apigenin, and genistein initially blocked phosphorylation of Syk tyrosine and Ca(2+) influx, PLD activity, phosphatidic acid, and Ca(2+)-dependent PKC alpha/betaII activities during mast cell activation in a dose-dependent manner. Our data suggest that eupatilin initially inhibits Syk kinase, and then blocks downstream multisignal pathways and Ca(2+) influx during mast cell activation triggered by a specific antigen-antibody reaction. Thus, eupatilin may have use clinically as a treatment for inflammatory disorders associated with allergic diseases including asthma.

Abstract
Stem cell factor (SCF) acts in synergy with antigen to enhance the calcium signal, degranulation, activation of transcription factors, and cytokine production in human mast cells. However, the underlying mechanisms for this synergy remain unclear. Here we show, utilizing bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) from Btk and Lyn knock-out mice, that activation of Btk via Lyn plays a key role in promoting synergy. As in human mast cells, SCF enhanced degranulation and cytokine production in BMMCs. In Btk-/- BMMCs, in which there was a partial reduction in the capacity to degranulate in response to antigen, SCF was unable to enhance the residual antigen-mediated degranulation. Furthermore, as with antigen, the ability of SCF to promote cytokine production was abrogated in the Btk-/- BMMCs. The impairment of responses in Btk-/- cells correlated with an inability of SCF to augment phospholipase Cgamma1 activation and calcium mobilization, and to phosphorylate NFkappaB and NFAT for cytokine gene transcription in these cells. Similar studies with Lyn-/- and Btk-/-/Lyn-/- BMMCs indicated that Lyn was a regulator of Btk for these responses. These data demonstrate, for the first time, that Btk is a key regulator of a Kit-mediated amplification pathway that augments Fc epsilonRI-mediated mast cell activation.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of allergic asthma involves the interplay of inflammatory cells and airway-resident cells, and of their secreted mediators including cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and inflammatory mediators. Receptor tyrosine kinases are important for the pathogenesis of airway remodeling. Activation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor kinase and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor kinase leads to hyperplasia of airway smooth muscle cells, epithelial cells and goblet cells. Stimulation of non-receptor tyrosine kinases (e.g. Lyn, Lck, Syk, ZAP-70, Fyn, Btk, Itk) is the earliest detectable signaling response upon antigen-induced immunoreceptor activation in inflammatory cells. Cytokine receptor dimerization upon ligand stimulation induces activation of Janus tyrosine kinases (JAKs), leading to recruitment and phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) for selective gene expression regulation. Activation of chemokine receptors can trigger JAK-STAT pathway, Lck, Fyn, Lyn, Fgr, and Syk/Zap-70 to induce chemotaxis of inflammatory cells. Inhibitors of tyrosine kinases have been shown in vitro to block growth factor-induced hyperplasia of airway-resident cells; antigen-induced inflammatory cell activation and cytokine synthesis; cytokine-mediated pro-inflammatory gene expression in inflammatory and airway cells; and chemokine-induced chemotaxis of inflammatory cells. Recently, anti-inflammatory effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.g. genistein, tyrphostin AG213, piceatannol, tyrphostin AG490, WHI-P97, WHI-P131, Syk antisense) in animal models of allergic asthma have been reported. Therefore, development of inhibitors of tyrosine kinases can be a very attractive strategy for the treatment of asthma.

Abstract
Mast cell degranulation following Fc epsilon RI aggregation is generally believed to be dependent on phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase)-mediated phospholipase C (PLC)gamma activation. Here we report evidence that the PLC gamma 1-dependent pathway of Fc epsilon RI-mediated activation of mast cells is independent of PI 3-kinase activation. In primary cultures of human mast cells, Fc epsilon RI aggregation induced a rapid translocation and phosphorylation of PLC gamma 1, and subsequent inositol trisphosphate (IP3) production, which preceded PI 3-kinase-related signals. In addition, although PI 3-kinase-mediated responses were completely inhibited by wortmannin, even at high concentrations, this PI 3-kinase inhibitor had no effect on parameters of Fc epsilon RI-mediated PLC gamma activation, and had little effect on the initial increase in intracellular calcium levels that correlated with PLC gamma activation. Wortmannin, however, did produce a partial (approximately 50%) concentration-dependent inhibition of Fc epsilon RI-mediated degranulation in human mast cells and a partial inhibition of the later calcium response at higher concentrations. Further studies, conducted in mast cells derived from the bone marrow of mice deficient in the p85 alpha and p85 beta subunits of PI 3-kinase, also revealed no defects in Fc epsilon RI-mediated PLC gamma 1 activation. These data are consistent with the conclusion that the PLC gamma-dependent component of Fc epsilon RI-mediated calcium flux leading to degranulation of mast cells is independent of PI 3-kinase. However, PI 3-kinase may contribute to the later phase of Fc epsilon RI-mediated degranulation in human mast cells.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD), a phospholipid phosphohydrolase, catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine and other membrane phospholipids to phosphatidic acid (PA) and choline. PLD, ubiquitous in mammals, is a critical enzyme in intracellular signal transduction. PA generated by agonist- or reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated activation of the PLDI and PLD2 isoforms can be subsequently converted to lysoPA (LPA) or diacylglycerol (DAG) by phospholipase A1/A2 or lipid phosphate phosphatases. In pulmonary epithelial and vascular endothelial cells, a wide variety of agonists stimulate PLD and involve Src kinases, p-38 mitogen activated protein kinase, calcium and small G proteins. PA derived from the PLD pathway has second-messenger functions. In endothelial cells, PA regulates NAD[P]H oxidase activity and barrier function. In airway epithelial cells, sphingosine-1-phosphate and PA-induced IL-8 secretion and ERKI/2 phosphorylation is regulated by PA. PA can be metabolized to LPA and DAG, which function as first- and second-messengers, respectively. Signaling enzymes such as Raf 1, protein kinase Czeta and type I phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase are also regulated by PA in mammalian cells. Thus, PA and its metabolic products play a central role in modulating endothelial and epithelial cell functions.

Abstract
We reported that some components of ginsenosides decreased mediator release which was evoked by the activation of mast cells caused by specific antigen-antibody reactions. This study aimed to assess the effects of ginsenoside, Rb1, which belongs to the protopanaxadiol, on the mechanism of mediator release during mast cell activation. Pretreatment of Rb1 (100 microg) significantly decreased histamine and leukotriene in a dose-dependent manner during mast cell activation. The PLD activity during mast cell activation decreased in the pretreatment of Rb1 (300 microg). The amount of DAG produced by PLC activity decreased because of Rb1 pretreatment. The amount of mass DAG decreased due to Rb1 pretreatment during mast cell activation. Rb1 (300 microg) pretreatment strongly inhibited the incorporation of the [3H]methyl moiety into phospholipids. The data suggest that Rb1, purified from Korean Red Ginseng Radix, inhibits an increase of DAG production during mast cell activation caused by antigen-antibody reactions, which is mediated via phosphatidylcholine-PLD and phosphatidylinositol-PLC systems. This is then followed by the inhibition of histamine releases. Furthermore, Rb1 reduces the phosphatidylcholine production by inhibiting the methyl-transferase I and II, and the reduction of phosphatidylcholine production inhibits leukotriene release.

Abstract
Cysteine-rich domains (Cys-domains) are approximately 50-amino acid-long protein domains that complex two zinc ions and include a consensus sequence with six cysteine and two histidine residues. In vitro studies have shown that Cys-domains from several protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms and a number of other signaling proteins bind lipid membranes in the presence of diacylglycerol or phorbol ester. Here we examine the second messenger functions of diacylglycerol in living cells by monitoring the membrane translocation of the green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged first Cys-domain of PKC-gamma (Cys1-GFP). Strikingly, stimulation of G-protein or tyrosine kinase-coupled receptors induced a transient translocation of cytosolic Cys1-GFP to the plasma membrane. The plasma membrane translocation was mimicked by addition of the diacylglycerol analogue DiC8 or the phorbol ester, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). Photobleaching recovery studies showed that PMA nearly immobilized Cys1-GFP in the membrane, whereas DiC8 left Cys1-GFP diffusible within the membrane. Addition of a smaller and more hydrophilic phorbol ester, phorbol dibuterate (PDBu), localized Cys1-GFP preferentially to the plasma and nuclear membranes. This selective membrane localization was lost in the presence of arachidonic acid. GFP-tagged Cys1Cys2-domains and full-length PKC-gamma also translocated from the cytosol to the plasma membrane in response to receptor or PMA stimuli, whereas significant plasma membrane translocation of Cys2-GFP was only observed in response to PMA addition. These studies introduce GFP-tagged Cys-domains as fluorescent diacylglycerol indicators and show that in living cells the individual Cys-domains can trigger a diacylglycerol or phorbol ester-mediated translocation of proteins to selective lipid membranes.

Abstract
We have previously reported that endothelial cell phospholipase D (PLD), activated by 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), was independent of protein kinase C activation. To determine whether PLD stimulation by 4-HNE is related to protein tyrosine phosphorylation, the effects of tyrosine kinase (Tyrk) and protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) inhibitors on PLD activation were investigated. Pretreatment of bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (BPAEC) with Tyrk inhibitors, such as genistein, erbstatin, and herbimycin attenuated 4-HNE-induced PLD activation. Furthermore, vanadate, phenylarsine oxide, and diamide, inhibitors of PTPases, markedly increased the 4-HNE-induced PLD activation. The effects of Tyrk and PTPase inhibitors were specific towards the 4-HNE, as these agents had no effect on the agonist- or TPA-induced PLD activation. In addition to PLD activation, treatment of BPAEC with 4-HNE increased tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins including bands of molecular weights 40,000-60,000, 70,000-90,000, and 110,000-130,000. The 4-HNE-mediated increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation was partly inhibited by genistein (100 microM). Vanadate (10 microM) pretreatment also potentiated 4-HNE-induced protein tyrosine phosphorylation. These data suggest that 4-HNE-mediated stimulation of PLD may occur as a result of activation of tyrosine kinases.

Abstract
Middle T (mT), the oncogene of murine polyomavirus, causes transformation of rat fibroblasts by activating a number of signal transducing pathways usually used by polypeptide growth factors and their receptors. Here, we report data regarding the activation of signal transducing pathways involving phospholipase D (PL-D). The hydrolysis of phospholipids by PL-D produces phosphatidic acid (PA), a compound with multiple biological effects. The PA content of cells expressing wild-type mT, introduced via a number of different methods, is approximately 50% higher than their untransformed counterparts. This increase in cellular PA content is associated with an approximately 65% increase in PL-D activity in cells expressing wild-type mT. We have also examined the effects of a number of site-directed mutants of mT, on both cellular PA levels and on PL-D activity. Mutants that do not produce mT (Py808A) or that produce a truncated, nonmembrane bound mT (Py1387T) have PA levels similar to that of control cells. Cells expressing the 322YF mutant of mT (which abolishes interaction of mT with phospholipase C gamma1) show increases in both PA levels and PL-D activity that are similar to those seen with wild-type mT. Expression of mutants that abolish the interaction of mT with either shc or with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (250YS and 315YF, respectively) cause an increase in PL-D activity comparable to that seen with wild-type mT. However, the PA content of cells expressing these mutants is not elevated. These results suggest that mT causes activation of cellular PL-D, but this activation alone is not sufficient to cause an increase in cellular PA content. Therefore, wild-type mT must affect another, as yet unknown, step in PA metabolism.

Abstract
Activation of phospholipase D (PLD) represents part of an important signalling pathway in mammalian cells. Phospholipase D catalyzed hydrolysis of phospholipids generates phosphatidic acid (PA) which is subsequently metabolized to lyso-PA (LPA) or diacylglycerol (DAG). While DAG is an endogenous activator of protein kinase C (PKC), PA and LPA have been recognized as second messengers as well. Activation of PLD in response to an external stimulus may involve PKC, Ca2+, G-proteins and/or tyrosine kinases. In this review, we will address the role of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in growth factor-, agonist- and oxidant-mediated activation of PLD. Furthermore, a possible link between PKC, Ca2+, G-proteins and tyrosine kinases is discussed to indicate the complexity involved in the regulation of PLD in mammalian cells.

Abstract
The differential implication of protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes in antigen- or PMA-induced phospholipase D (PLD) activation was investigated in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cells. In [3H]oleic acid-labeled cells, both antigen (100 ng/ml) and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (100 nM) produced a specific product of PLD activation, [3H]phosphatidylbutanol (PBut) in the presence of butanol. Pretreatment of cells with a selective PKC inhibitor, Ro31-8425 (1-5 microM) inhibited PMA-stimulated PLD activity by 85%. In contrast, the antigen-stimulated PLD activity was much less sensitive to the inhibitor. RBL-2H3 cells express PKC alpha, beta, delta, epsilon and zeta isozymes and down-regulation of PKC by exposure to PMA (20 nM) for 1-2 h caused rapid decrease in PKC alpha and beta isozymes, leaving PKC delta, epsilon and zeta isozymes intact. Apparent decreases in the levels of PKC alpha and beta to about 50% were observed after adding 20 nM PMA for 1 h, when PMA-stimulated PLD activity was inhibited by up to 70%. Decrease in antigen-stimulated PLD activity was evident after 2 h PMA-treatment, when PKC alpha and beta decreased by nearly 70%. These results suggest that in the antigen-mediated PLD pathway PKC may be implicated but not play such a great role as PMA-stimulated pathway which is mediated through PKC alpha or beta. Then, we have examined the involvement of calcium/calmodulin (CaM) in PLD activation by antigen, since the antigen-stimulated PLD activation showed the absolute requirement for extracellular calcium. Preincubation of RBL-2H3 cells with a CaM antagonist W-7 (20 microM) inhibited the antigen-stimulated PLD activity by 90%, but W-5, a chlorine-deficient analogue of W-7 that only weakly interact with CaM, caused little inhibitory effect. Another non-specific CaM antagonist, trifluoperazine (TFP) also inhibited PLD activation. These results suggest that calcium/CaM may be involved in the antigen-stimulated PLD activation.

Abstract
Stimulation of the mast cell line, RBL-2H3, with antigen via the tetrameric (alpha beta gamma 2) immunoglobulin E receptor (Fc epsilon R1) leads to the activation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 and the release of arachidonic acid. This pathway is dependent on the activation of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase. In this paper, we show that the MAP kinase/cytosolic phospholipase A2 pathway is linked to Fc epsilon R1 via the cytosolic tyrosine kinase, Syk, and that the GDP/GTP exchange factor, Vav, might be one candidate for accomplishing this link. Cross-linking of transmembrane chimeras containing the Fc epsilon R1 gamma motif, which is known to activate Syk, results in the tyrosine phosphorylation of Vav, activation of MAP kinase, and release of arachidonic acid. Cross-linking of chimeras containing the Fc epsilon R1 beta motif does not cause these events. Furthermore, stimulation of these events by antigen is enhanced by transient overexpression of a wild-type form of Syk and blocked by overexpression of a dominant negative form of Syk. By contrast, stimulation via the transfected, G protein-coupled, muscarinic m1 receptor is not influenced by either form of Syk and does not result in tyrosine phosphorylation of Vav. These data establish unequivocally that the two types of receptor are independently linked to the two types of receptor are independently linked to the MAP kinase/cytosolic phospholipase A2 pathway and demonstrate the existence of the Fc epsilon R1-Syk-MAP kinase pathway.

Abstract
We studied how the release of histamine and prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) were connected in stimulated rat peritoneal mast cells, and to what extent these processes were controlled by the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, [Ca2+]i, and protein tyrosine kinases. In the presence of 1 mM CaCl2, the G-protein activating compound 48/80 (10 micrograms/ml) evoked a transient rise in [Ca2+]i and a relatively high secretion of histamine, but only a low release of PGD2. In contrast, 5 microM thapsigargin (an inhibitor of endomembrane Ca(2+)-ATPases) and 5 microM ionomycin evoked high and prolonged rises in [Ca2+]i, and stimulated the cells to release relatively small amounts of histamine and high amounts of PGD2. Stimulation of the cells with CaCl2 and 10 microM ATP4- gave only minor quantities of histamine and PGD2, despite of the micromolar level of [Ca2+]i reached. When CaCl2 was replaced by EGTA, rises in [Ca2+]i as well as release of histamine and PGD2 were reduced with each agonist, but the preference of agonists to release more histamine or PGD2 remained unchanged. In mast cells with depleted Ca2+ stores, the addition of CaCl2 stimulated the store-regulated Ca2+ entry resulting in a prolonged rise in [Ca2+]i. However, simultaneous addition of compound 48/80 and CaCl2 was required for release of histamine and PGD2. In cells with full stores, PGD2 release evoked by compound 48/80 was greatly reduced by genistein and methyl-2,5-dihydroxycinnamate, two structurally unrelated inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinases, whereas histamine secretion was not influenced by these inhibitors. Similarly, with thapsigargin or ionomycin as agonist, PGD2 release was more sensitive to the tyrosine kinase inhibitors than histamine secretion. We conclude that in activated rat peritoneal mast cells: (i) the influx of extracellular Ca2+ potentiates agonist-evoked rises in [Ca2+]i as well as histamine secretion and PGD2 release; (ii) the amplitude of the [Ca2+]i rise does not determine the preferential effect of agonists to release more histamine or more PGD2; (iii) the relatively high PGD2 release evoked by thapsigargin and ionomycin is probably due to their potency to evoke a prolonged rise in [Ca2+]i and to activate protein tyrosine kinases.
