Piotin A, Oulehri W, Charles AL, Tacquard C, Collange O, Mertes PM, Geny B. Oxidative Stress and Mitochondria Are Involved in Anaphylaxis and Mast Cell Degranulation: A Systematic Review. Antioxidants (Basel) 2024; 13:920. [PMID: 39199166 PMCID: PMC11352116 DOI: 10.3390/antiox13080920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Anaphylaxis, an allergic reaction caused by the massive release of active mediators, can lead to anaphylactic shock (AS), the most severe and potentially life-threatening form of anaphylactic reaction. Nevertheless, understanding of its pathophysiology to support new therapies still needs to be improved. We performed a systematic review, assessing the role and the complex cellular interplay of mitochondria and oxidative stress during anaphylaxis, mast cell metabolism and degranulation. After presenting the main characteristics of anaphylaxis, the oxidant/antioxidant balance and mitochondrial functions, we focused this review on the involvement of mitochondria and oxidative stress in anaphylaxis. Then, we discussed the role of oxidative stress and mitochondria following mast cell stimulation by allergens, leading to degranulation, in order to further elucidate mechanistic pathways. Finally, we considered potential therapeutic interventions implementing these findings for the treatment of anaphylaxis. Experimental studies evaluated mainly cardiomyocyte metabolism during AS. Cardiac dysfunction was associated with left ventricle mitochondrial impairment and lipid peroxidation. Studies evaluating in vitro mast cell degranulation, following Immunoglobulin E (IgE) or non-IgE stimulation, revealed that mitochondrial respiratory complex integrity and membrane potential are crucial for mast cell degranulation. Antigen stimulation raises reactive oxygen species (ROS) production from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases and mitochondria, leading to mast cell degranulation. Moreover, mast cell activation involved mitochondrial morphological changes and mitochondrial translocation to the cell surface near exocytosis sites. Interestingly, antioxidant administration reduced degranulation by lowering ROS levels. Altogether, these results highlight the crucial role of oxidative stress and mitochondria during anaphylaxis and mast cell degranulation. New therapeutics against anaphylaxis should probably target oxidative stress and mitochondria, in order to decrease anaphylaxis-induced systemic and major organ deleterious effects.

[PMID: 37759432 PMCID: PMC10526294 DOI: 10.3390/cells12182210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2023] [Revised: 09/03/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils) are the most abundant circulating cells in the innate immune system. Circulating granulocytes, primarily neutrophils, can cross the endothelial barrier and activate various effector mechanisms to combat invasive pathogens. Eosinophils and basophils also play an important role in allergic reactions and antiparasitic defense. Granulocytes also regulate the immune response, wound healing, and tissue repair by releasing of various cytokines and lipid mediators. The effector mechanisms of granulocytes include the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), degranulation, phagocytosis, and the formation of DNA-containing extracellular traps. Although all granulocytes are primarily glycolytic and have only a small number of mitochondria, a growing body of evidence suggests that mitochondria are involved in all effector functions as well as in the production of cytokines and lipid mediators and in apoptosis. It has been shown that the production of mitochondrial ROS controls signaling pathways that mediate the activation of granulocytes by various stimuli. In this review, we will briefly discuss the data on the role of mitochondria in the regulation of effector and other functions of granulocytes.

[PMID: 37630231 PMCID: PMC10457993 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28165979] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Revised: 08/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a compound that is derived from the peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It has been used as a biomarker to measure oxidative stress in various biological samples in patients who are affected by a wide range of diseases. The aim of our work is to provide an updated overview of the role of MDA as a marker of oxidative stress in allergy-related diseases. We considered studies involving both paediatric and adult patients affected by rhinitis, asthma, urticaria and atopic dermatitis. The measurement of MDA was performed on different types of samples. The reported data highlight the role of serum MDA in inflammatory airway diseases. According to the literature review, the oxidative stress status in asthmatic patients, assessed via MDA determination, appears to worsen in the presence of other allergic airway diseases and in relation to the disease severity. This suggests that MDA can be a suitable marker for monitoring the disease status. However, there are several limitations in the considered studies due to the different samples used and the lack of phenotyping and description of the clinical period of patients examined. In cutaneous allergic diseases, the role of MDA is controversial because of the smallness of the studies and the heterogeneity of the samples and patients.

Abstract
Thioredoxin-1 (Trx1) is an important regulator of cellular redox homeostasis that comprises a redox-active dithiol. Trx1 is induced in response to various stress conditions, such as oxidative damage, infection or inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, irradiation, and chemical exposure. It has shown excellent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects in the treatment of various human inflammatory disorders in animal models. This review focused on the protective roles and mechanisms of Trx1 in allergic diseases, such as allergic asthma, contact dermatitis, food allergies, allergic rhinitis, and drug allergies. Trx1 plays an important role in allergic diseases through processes, such as antioxidation, inhibiting macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), regulating Th1/Th2 immune balance, modulating allergic inflammatory cells, and suppressing complement activation. The regulatory mechanism of Trx1 differs from that of glucocorticoids that regulates the inflammatory reactions associated with immune response suppression. Furthermore, Trx1 exerts a beneficial effect on glucocorticoid resistance of allergic inflammation by inhibiting the production and internalization of MIF. Our results suggest that Trx1 has the potential for future success in translational research.

Abstract
Oxygen in the atmosphere is a crucial component for life-sustaining aerobic respiration in humans. Approximately 95% of oxygen is consumed as energy and ultimately becomes water; however, the remaining 5% produces metabolites called activated oxygen or reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are extremely reactive. Skin, the largest organ in the human body, is exposed to air pollutants, including diesel exhaust fumes, ultraviolet rays, food, xenobiotics, drugs, and cosmetics, which promote the production of ROS. ROS exacerbate skin aging and inflammation, but also function as regulators of homeostasis in the human body, including epidermal keratinocyte proliferation. Although ROS have been implicated in various skin diseases, the underlying mechanisms have not yet been elucidated. Current knowledge on ROS-related and oxidative stress-related skin diseases from basic research to clinical treatment strategies are discussed herein. This information may be applied to the future treatment of skin diseases through the individual targeting of the ROS generated in each case via their inhibition, capture, or regulation.

The Role of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Aiton) Hassk. Fruits in Downregulation of Mast Cells-Mediated Allergic Responses. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:3505034.

Abstract
Rhodomyrtus tomentosa, a flowering plant of Myrtaceae family from southern and southeastern Asia, was known to possess a rich source of structurally diverse and various biological activities. In this study, the inhibitory effect of R. tomentosa fruit extract (RFE) on allergic responses in calcium ionophore A23187-activated RBL-2H3 mast cells was investigated. The result showed that RFE was able to inhibit mast cell degranulation via decreasing β-hexosaminidase release and intracellular Ca2+ elevation at the concentration of 400 μg/ml. Moreover, the suppressive effects of RFE on the production of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were evidenced. In addition, RFE effectively scavenged DPPH radical and suppressed the reactive oxygen species generation in a dose-dependent manner. Notably, the pretreatment of RFE caused the downregulation of tyrosine kinase Fyn phospholipid enzyme phospholipase Cγ (PLCγ), extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK), and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) phosphorylation. These results indicated that RFE could be a promising inhibitor of allergic responses and may be developed as bioactive ingredient for prevention or treatment of allergic diseases.

Abstract
We previously discovered that oral treatment with AC261066, a synthetic selective agonist for the retinoic acid β2-receptor, decreases oxidative stress in the liver, pancreas, and kidney of mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Since hyperlipidemic states are causally associated with myocardial ischemia and oxidative stress, we have now investigated the effects of AC261066 in an ex vivo ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury model in hearts of two prototypic dysmetabolic mice. We found that a 6-week oral treatment with AC261066 in both genetically hypercholesterolemic (ApoE-/-) and obese (HFD-fed) wild-type mice exerts protective effects when their hearts are subsequently subjected to I/R ex vivo in the absence of added drug. In ApoE-/- mice this cardioprotection ensued without hyperlipidemic changes. Cardioprotection consisted of attenuation of infarct size, diminution of norepinephrine (NE) spillover, and alleviation of reperfusion arrhythmias. This cardioprotection was associated with a reduction in oxidative stress and mast cell (MC) degranulation. We suggest that the reduction in myocardial injury and adrenergic activation, and the antiarrhythmic effects, result from decreased formation of oxygen radicals and toxic aldehydes known to elicit the release of MC-derived renin, promoting the activation of the local renin-angiotensin system leading to enhanced NE release and reperfusion arrhythmias. Because these beneficial effects of AC261066 occurred at the ex vivo level following oral drug treatment, our data suggest that AC261066 could be viewed as a therapeutic means to reduce I/R injury of the heart, and potentially also be considered in the treatment of other cardiovascular ailments such as chronic arrhythmias and cardiac failure.

Abstract
UV light, especially UVB, is known as a trigger of allergic reaction, leading to mast cell degranulation and histamine release. In this study, phlorotannin Fucofuroeckol-A (F-A) derived from brown algal Ecklonia stolonifera Okamura was evaluated for its protective capability against UVB-induced allergic reaction in RBL-2H3 mast cells. It was revealed that F-A significantly suppress mast cell degranulation via decreasing histamine release as well as intracellular Ca2+ elevation at the concentration of 50 μM. Moreover, the inhibitory effect of F-A on IL-1β and TNF-α productions was also evidenced. Notably, the protective activity of F-A against mast cell degranulation was found due to scavenging ROS production. Accordingly, F-A from brown algal E. stolonifera was suggested to be promising candidate for its protective capability against UVB-induced allergic reaction.

Abstract
Abstract
Pterocarpus indicus Willd has been widely used as a traditional medicine to treat edema, cancer, and hyperlipidemia, but its antiallergic properties and underlying mechanisms have not yet been studied. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antiallergic activity of Pterocarpus indicus Willd water extract (PIW) using activated mast cells and an atopic dermatitis (AD)-like mouse model. PIW decreased IgE/Ag-induced mast cell degranulation and the phosphorylation of Syk and downstream signaling molecules such as PLC-γ, Akt, Erk 1/2, JNK compared to stimulated mast cells. In DNCB-induced AD-like mice, PIW reduced IgE level in serum, as well as AD-associated scratching behavior and skin severity score. These results indicate that PIW inhibits the allergic response by reducing mast cell activation and may have clinical potential as an antiallergic agent for disorders such as AD.

Little information about the relationship between imidacloprid and allergy is available. Objective This study aims to examine the effects of imidacoprid on IgE-mediated mast cell activation. Methods The rat basophilic leukemia cell line RBL-2H3 (RBL-2H3 cells) were treated with 10-3 – 10-12 mol/L imidacloprid, followed by measuring the mediator production, influx of Ca2+ in IgE-activated RBL-2H3 cells, and the possible effects of imidacoprid on anti-dinitrophenyl IgE-induced passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA). Results It was shown that imidacoprid suppressed the production of histamine, β-hexosaminidase, leukotriene C4, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and Ca2+ mobilization in IgE-activated RBL-2H3 cells and decreased vascular extravasation in IgE-induced PCA. Conclusion It is the first time to show that imidacloprid suppressed the activation of RBL-2H3 cells.

Abstract
OM-X® is a hand-made and naturally manufactured probiotic supplement. This fermented food product is made from vegetables, fruits, seaweeds and mushrooms, using 12 strains of lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria. OM-X® is also known to have beneficial health properties, and some of its components show effects on antigen (Ag)-stimulated degranulation activity, indicating that OM-X® may be useful in the treatment of allergy responses and symptoms. In this study, we evaluated the inhibitory effects of OM-X® on Ag-stimulated degranulation in rat basophilic leukemia RBL-2H3 cells, clarified the underlying mechanisms, and determined the active compounds in OM-X® for suppression of degranulation. Treatment with OM-X® gradually suppressed Ag-stimulated degranulation throughout the maturation period. OM-X® also gradually produced melanoidins by lactic acid bacterial fermentation during the maturation process. There was a high correlation between the suppression levels of Ag-stimulated degranulation and the browning of OM-X®. Furthermore, the inhibition of Ag-stimulated degranulation by OM-X® was found to be partially due to the direct inactivation of NADPH oxidase. To elucidate the in vivo effects of OM-X®, type I allergy model mice were orally administered with OM-X®, and the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction was measured. OM-X® intake remarkably suppressed the PCA reaction. Taken together, our findings suggest that OM-X® could be a beneficial food to ameliorate allergic reactions.

Abstract
SCOPE Spirulina has been found suitable for use as a bioactive additive. It is an excellent source of protein that can be hydrolyzed into bioactive peptides. Two peptides LDAVNR (P1) and MMLDF (P2) purified from enzymatic hydrolysate of Spirulina maxima have been reported to be effective against early atherosclerotic responses. In this study, the intracellular mechanism involved in the downregulation of these peptides on high-affinity IgE receptor-mediated allergic reaction was further investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS RBL-2H3 mast cells were pretreated with P1 or P2 and sensitized with dinitrophenyl-specific IgE antibody before stimulation of antigen dinitrophenyl-BSA. It was revealed that P1 and P2 exhibited significant inhibition on mast-cell degranulation via decreasing histamine release and intracellular Ca(2+) elevation. The inhibitory activity of P1 was found due to blockade of calcium- and microtubule-dependent signaling pathways. Meanwhile, the inhibition of P2 was involved in suppression of phospholipase Cγ activation and reactive oxygen species production. Moreover, the suppressive effects of P1 and P2 on generation of IL-4 were evidenced via depression of nuclear factor-κB translocation. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that peptides P1 and P2 from S. maxima may be promising candidates of antiallergic therapeutics, contributing to development of bioactive food ingredients for amelioration of allergic diseases.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are environmental challenges to the respiratory and gastrointestinal mucosa, and to the dermal immune system. Mast cells (MC) are pro-inflammatory immunocytes that reside at these interfaces with the environment. Mast cells are sources of pro-inflammatory mediators (histamine, serotonin, matrix-active proteases, eicosanoids, prostanoids, cytokines and chemokines), which are released in a calcium-dependent manner following immunological challenge or physico-chemical stimulation. Since C-60 fullerenes, which share geometry with CNT, are suppressive of mast cell-driven inflammatory responses, we explored the effects of unmodified SWCNT aggregates on mast cell signaling pathways, phenotype and pro-inflammatory function. We noted SWCNT suppression of antigen-induced signalling pathways and pro-inflammatory degranulation responses. Mast cells recognize unmodified SWCNT by remodeling the plasma membrane, disaggregating the cortical actin cytoskeleton and relocalizing clathrin. Clathrin was also identified as a component of an affinity-purified 'interactome' isolated from MC using an SWCNT affinity matrix for mast cell lysates. Together, these data are consistent with the ability of SWCNT to suppress mast cell pro-inflammatory function via a novel recognition mechanism.

Abstract
Basophils are primarily associated with a proinflammatory and immunoregulatory role in allergic diseases and parasitic infections. Recent studies have shown that basophils can also bind various bacteria both in the presence and the absence of opsonizing Abs. In this report, we show that both human and mouse basophils are able to produce mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and to form extracellular DNA traps upon IL-3 priming and subsequent activation of the complement factor 5 a receptor or FcεRI. Such basophil extracellular traps (BETs) contain mitochondrial, but not nuclear DNA, as well as the granule proteins basogranulin and mouse mast cell protease 8. BET formation occurs despite the absence of any functional NADPH oxidase in basophils. BETs can be found in both human and mouse inflamed tissues, suggesting that they also play a role under in vivo inflammatory conditions. Taken together, these findings suggest that basophils exert direct innate immune effector functions in the extracellular space.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The conflicting information related to oxidative stress status in patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria has been reported in several studies. However, the association between acute urticaria (AU) and oxidative stress has not been investigated exhaustively. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the role of the oxidative stress in the patients with AU by determining the oxidant/antioxidant activity in AU and to establish its clinical significance. METHODS About 50 patients with AU, (10 males, 40 females) and 30 unrelated healthy controls (4 males, 26 females) were enrolled into the study. The activity of the antioxidant enzymes copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn-SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase, and the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), serum NO and protein carbonyls levels in the plasma were measured spectrophotometrically at samples. RESULTS A statistically significant increase was observed in serum Cu-ZnSOD activities of the patients when compared with that of the controls (p < 0.001), while a statistically significant decrease was observed in GSH-Px activities of the patients according to the controls (p = 0.002). Serum MDA and NO levels were significantly higher in patients with AU when compared with control group (p < 0.001 for both of them). The levels of protein carbonyls were significantly lower in patients with AU when compared with control group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION It seems there is an oxidative burden in the patients with AU. Cutaneous oxidative stress may play a role in pathogenesis of the disease.

Abstract
Cedar pollens cause severe allergic disease throughout the world. We have previously characterized allergenic pollen glycoproteins from mountain cedar (Juniperus ashei) that bind to allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE). In the present report, we investigated an alternative pathway of mast cell activation by mountain cedar pollen extract through IgE-independent mechanisms. We show that mountain cedar pollen directly induces mast cell serotonin and IL-4 release and enhances release induced by IgE cross-linking. Concomitant with mediator release, high levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were generated, and both ROS and serotonin release were inhibited by anti-oxidants. These findings suggest that alternative mechanisms exist whereby pollen exposure enhances allergic inflammatory mediator release through mechanisms that involve ROS. These mechanisms have the potential for enhancing the allergenic potency of pollens.

Abstract
Heavy metals, including gold, induce severe contact hypersensitivity and autoimmune disorders, which develop through an initial Th2-independent process followed by a Th2-dependent process. It has been shown that mast cell activation plays a role in the Th2-independent process and that gold stimulates histamine release in vitro. However, the mechanisms of the gold-induced mast cell activation remain largely unclear. Here we report that gold directly activates mast cells in a Ca2+-dependent manner. HAuCl4 [Au(III)] at nontoxic concentrations (≤50 μM) induced substantial degranulation and leukotriene C4 secretion in an extracellular Ca2+-dependent manner. Au(III) induced a robust Ca2+ influx but not Ca2+ mobilization from internal stores. Au(III) also stimulated intracellular production of reactive oxygen species, including H2O2, and blockade of the production abolished the mediator release and Ca2+ influx. Au(III) induced Ca2+ influx through multiple store-independent Ca2+ channels, including Cav1.2 L-type Ca2+ channels (LTCCs) and 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB)-sensitive Ca2+ channels. The 2-APB-sensitive channel seemed to mediate Au(III)-induced degranulation. Our results indicate that gold stimulates Ca2+ influx and mediator release in mast cells through multiple H2O2-sensitive Ca2+ channels including LTCCs and 2-APB-sensitive Ca2+ channels. These findings provide insight into the roles of these Ca2+ channels in the Th2-independent process of gold-induced immunological disorders.

Abstract
Psidium guajava (P. guajava) is an important food crop and medicinal plant with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-allergic activities, supporting its traditional uses. However, its precise effects remain unknown. We investigated the effects of P. guajava ethyl acetate extract (PGEA) on IgE-mediated allergic responses in rat mast RBL-2H3 cells. PGEA reduced antigen (DNP-BSA)-induced release of β-hexosaminidase and histamine in IgE-sensitized RBL-2H3 cells. In addition, it inhibited antigen-induced IL-4 and TNF-α mRNA expression and protein production in IgE-sensitized RBL-2H3 cells. PGEA also suppressed antigen-induced COX-2 mRNA and protein expression in these cells, as well as antigen-induced activation of NFAT and reactive oxygen species. Moreover, it inhibited antigen-induced activation of NF-κB and degradation of IκB-α. To identify the mechanisms underpinning the inhibition of degranulation and cytokine production by PGEA, we examined the activation of intracellular FcεRI signaling molecules. PGEA suppressed antigen-induced phosphorylation of Syk, LAT, Gab2, and PLCγ2 but not Lyn, and inhibited antigen-induced phosphorylation of downstream signaling intermediates including MAP kinases and Akt. Collectively, the anti-allergic effects of PGEA in vitro suggest its possible therapeutic application to inflammatory allergic diseases, in which its inhibition of inflammatory cytokine production and FcεRI-dependent signaling events in mast cells may be hugely beneficial.

Abstract
We isolated three chalcone glycosides along with other glycoside constituents from the aerial parts of Brassica rapa L. 'hidabeni' and examined the effects of these compounds on the antigen-stimulated degranulation in rat basophilic leukemia RBL-2H3 cells. Treatments with both 4'-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-4-hydroxy-3'-methoxychalcone (C1) and 4'-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-3',4-dimethoxychalcone (C2) markedly inhibited antigen (Ag)-stimulated degranulation. To gain further insight into the inhibitory mechanisms by C1 and C2, we examined early intracellular signaling events, Ca(2+) mobilization and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Both C1 and C2 did not affect early intracellular signaling events but exhibited the suppression of intracellular ROS production through NADPH oxidase (NOX) inactivation. From these results, we proposed that the inhibitory effects of C1 and C2 on Ag-stimulated degranulation were mainly due to suppression of intracellular Ca(2+) elevation by suppression of intracellular ROS production through NOX inactivation. Our findings suggest that C1 and C2 would be beneficial to alleviate symptoms of type I allergy.

Abstract
Chlorogenic acid (CGA), a naturally occurring polyphenol compound, has a number of biological activities. However, roles of CGA in the mast cell-dependent anaphylactic reaction have not been fully examined. In the present study, the effect and mechanism of CGA on mast cell-dependent anaphylactic reaction were investigated using in vivo and in vitro models. CGA inhibited compound 48/80-induced systemic anaphylactic shock in mice and skin vascular permeability in rats. CGA also inhibited anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) IgE-mediated passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA). Moreover, CGA dose-dependently reduced histamine and TNF-alpha release from RBL-2H3 cells activated by anti-DNP IgE. Pretreatment with CGA suppressed IgE-antigen complex induced calcium uptake into RBL-2H3 cells. When CGA was added, the level of intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in RBL-2H3 cells was significantly elevated compared with the untreated cells. Decreased calcium uptake and increased cAMP level might be involved in the inhibitory effect of CGA on mast cell activation. These results suggest a possible therapeutic application of CGA in allergic diseases.

Abstract
Whisky is matured in oak casks. Many nonvolatile substances (whisky congeners, WC) seep from the oak cask during the maturing process. In this study, three antiallergic agents (syringaldehyde, SA; lyoniresinol, Lyo; and ellagic acid, EA) were isolated from WC. Treatment with SA, Lyo, and EA reduced the elevation of intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) and intracellular ROS production caused by FcepsilonRI activation. The inhibitions of the elevation of [Ca(2+)]i and intracellular ROS production by SA and Lyo were mainly due to the suppression of the NADPH oxidase activity and scavenging of the produced radical, respectively. On the other hand, EA inactivated spleen tyrosine kinase and led to the inhibition of the elevation of [Ca(2+)]i and intracellular ROS production. Furthermore, it was found that WC strongly inhibited IgE binding to the FcepsilonRIalpha chain, whereas SA, Lyo, and EA did not indicate this inhibitory effect. These results suggest that WC inhibits allergic reactions through multiple mechanisms. To disclose the in vivo effects of WC, SA, Lyo, and EA, these compounds were administered to type I allergic model mice, and the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction was measured. These compounds remarkably suppressed the PCA reaction. Taken together, these findings suggest that WC seemed to be beneficial to ameliorate allergic reactions.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species produced during allergic inflammation are key players of the pathophysiology of asthma, leading to oxidative tissue injury and inactivation of endogenous manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). On this ground, removal of excess superoxide anion by scavenger molecules would be beneficial and protective. Here we show that a novel manganese(II)-containing polyamine-polycarboxylic compound, termed Mn(II)(Me(2)DO2A), with potent superoxide dismuting properties decreases the respiratory and histopathological lung abnormalities due to allergen inhalation in a model of ovalbumin (OA)-induced allergic asthma-like reaction in sensitized guinea pigs. Severe respiratory dysfunction in response to OA aerosolic challenge arose rapidly in the sensitized animals and was accompanied by bronchoconstriction, alveolar hyperinflation, mast cell activation, increased leukocyte infiltration (evaluated by myeloperoxidase assay), oxidative lung tissue injury (evaluated by the thiobarbituric-acid-reactive substances and nitrotyrosine immunostaining), decay of endogenous MnSOD activity, production of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins, and lung cell apoptosis. Treatment with Mn(II)(Me(2)DO2A) (15mg/kg, given 1h before allergen challenge), but not the inactive congener Zn(II)(Me(2)DO2A) lacking redox-active metal site, significantly attenuated all the above functional, histopathological and biochemical parameters of allergic inflammation and restored the levels of MnSOD activity. In conclusion, our findings support the potential therapeutic use of Mn(II)(Me(2)DO2A) as novel superoxide scavenger drug in asthma and anaphylactic reactions.

Abstract
Smokers are less likely to develop some inflammatory and allergic diseases. In Brown-Norway rats, nicotine inhibits several parameters of allergic asthma, including the production of Th2 cytokines and the cysteinyl leukotriene LTC(4). Cysteinyl leukotrienes are primarily produced by mast cells, and these cells play a central role in allergic asthma. Mast cells express a high-affinity receptor for IgE (FcepsilonRI). Following its cross-linking, cells degranulate and release preformed inflammatory mediators (early phase) and synthesize and secrete cytokines/chemokines and leukotrienes (late phase). The mechanism by which nicotine modulates mast cell activation is unclear. Using alpha-bungarotoxin binding and quantitative PCR and PCR product sequencing, we showed that the rat mast/basophil cell line RBL-2H3 expresses nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) alpha7, alpha9, and alpha10; exposure to exceedingly low concentrations of nicotine (nanomolar), but not the biologically inactive metabolite cotinine, for > or = 8 h suppressed the late phase (leukotriene/cytokine production) but not degranulation (histamine and hexosaminidase release). These effects were unrelated to those of nicotine on intracellular free calcium concentration but were causally associated with the inhibition of cytosolic phospholipase A(2) activity and the PI3K/ERK/NF-kappaB pathway, including phosphorylation of Akt and ERK and nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB. The suppressive effect of nicotine on the late-phase response was blocked by the alpha7/alpha9-nAChR antagonists methyllycaconitine and alpha-bungarotoxin, as well as by small interfering RNA knockdown of alpha7-, alpha9-, or alpha10-nAChRs, suggesting a functional interaction between alpha7-, alpha9-, and alpha10-nAChRs that might explain the response of RBL cells to nanomolar concentrations of nicotine. This "hybrid" receptor might serve as a target for novel antiallergic/antiasthmatic therapies.

Abstract
We isolated the 4 kinds of flavonoids from strawberry 'Nohime' and examined the effect of these flavonoids on the degranulation in RBL-2H3 cells. The flavonoids were found to suppress the degranulation from Ag-stimulated RBL-2H3 cells to different extents. To disclose the inhibitory mechanism of degranulation by flavonoids, we examined their effects on the intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) and the intracellular signaling pathway such as Lyn, Syk, and PLCgammas. The intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) was elevated by Fc epsilonRI activation, but these flavonoid treatments reduced the elevation of [Ca(2+)]i by suppressing Ca(2+) influx. Kaempferol strongly suppressed the activation of Syk and PLCgammas. It was thus suggested that suppression of Ag-stimulated degranulation by the flavonoids is mainly due to suppression of [Ca(2+)]i elevation and Syk activation. These results suggested that strawberry would be of some ameliorative benefit for the allergic symptoms.

Abstract
Mast cells and T cells produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) after stimulation with the high-affinity IgE receptor (Fc epsilon RI) and T cell receptor. A growing body of evidence suggests the existence of ROS-regulated intracellular and/or plasma membrane Ca(2+) channels in these cells but their molecular entities remain to be identified. Here, we report that store-operated Ca(2+) channel (SOC) activity is regulated by superoxide (O(2)(*-)) and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) in mast cells. MnTBaP (Mn(III)tetrakis(4-benzoic acid)porphyrin) and ebselen (2-phenyl-1,2-benziso-selenazol-3(2H)-one) selectively blocked the generation of O(2)(*-) and H(2)O(2), respectively, in antigen-stimulated cells. The H(2)O(2) generation was dependent on the Src family kinase (SFK) and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) activities but independent of extracellular Ca(2+), and the Fc epsilon RI beta-chain immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif played an essential role. On the other hand, O(2)(*-) generation was strictly dependent on extracellular Ca(2+), but negatively regulated by the SFK and PI3K activities. Inhibition of O(2)(*-) generation resulted in increased H(2)O(2) generation and reduced SOC activity, although it had a minimal effect on endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) store depletion. On the contrary, inhibition of H(2)O(2) generation resulted in increased intracellular O(2)(*-) generation and augmented SOC activity. The findings suggest that O(2)(*-) and H(2)O(2), which are generated by separate signaling pathways/sources, reciprocally regulate SOC activity in mast cells. Such generations of multiple oxidant species and their distinct roles in the regulation of SOC activity may facilitate the fine tuning of Ca(2+) signaling in mast cells.

Abstract
Sesquiterpene lactones (SQTLs) have been shown to suppress the degranulation as inferred by histamine release in rat basophilic leukemia RBL-2H3 cells. In this study, we isolated the 9 kinds of SQTLs from Eupatorium chinense L. and examined the effects of these SQTLs on the degranulation in RBL-2H3 cells. The chemical structures of two novel compounds (SQTL-3 and 8) were determined. All the SQTLs suppressed the degranulation from Ag-stimulated RBL-2H3 cells. To disclose the inhibitory mechanism of degranulation by SQTLs, we examined the activation of intracellular signaling molecules such as Lyn, Syk, and PLCgammas and intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i). None of these SQTLs showed the activation of Syk and PLCgammas. The intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) was elevated by Fc epsilonRI activation, but SQTLs treatment reduced the elevation of [Ca(2+)]i by suppressing Ca(2+) influx. Thus, it was suggested that the suppression of Ag-stimulated degranulation by these SQTLs is mainly due to the decreased Ca(2+) influx. Furthermore, in order to clarify the in vivo effect of SQTL-rich extract, we administered SQTL-rich extract to the type I allergic model mice and measured the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction induced by IgE-antigen complex. The SQTLs remarkably suppressed PCA reaction in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, it was suggested that SQTLs would be a candidate as an anti-allergic agent.

Abstract
We show in this study that the ability of five different monomeric IgEs to enhance murine bone marrow-derived mast cell (BMMC) survival correlates with their ability to stimulate extracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) entry. However, whereas IgE+Ag more potently stimulates Ca(2+) entry, it does not enhance survival under our conditions. Exploring this further, we found that whereas all five monomeric IgEs stimulate a less robust Ca(2+) entry than IgE+Ag initially, they all trigger a more prolonged Ca(2+) influx, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and ERK phosphorylation. These prolonged signaling events correlate with their survival-enhancing ability and positively feedback on each other to generate the prosurvival cytokine, IL-3. Interestingly, the prolonged ERK phosphorylation induced by IgE appears to be regulated by a MAPK phosphatase rather than MEK. IgE-induced ROS generation, unlike that triggered by IgE+Ag, is not mediated by 5-lipoxygenase. Moreover, ROS inhibitors, which block both IgE-induced ROS production and Ca(2+) influx, convert the prolonged ERK phosphorylation induced by IgE into the abbreviated phosphorylation pattern observed with IgE+Ag and prevent IL-3 generation. In support of the essential role that IgE-induced ROS plays in IgE-enhanced BMMC survival, we found the addition of H(2)O(2) to IgE+Ag-stimulated BMMCs leads to IL-3 secretion.

Abstract
Allergic asthma, an inflammatory disease characterized by the infiltration and activation of various leukocytes, the production of Th2 cytokines and leukotrienes, and atopy, also affects the function of other cell types, causing goblet cell hyperplasia/hypertrophy, increased mucus production/secretion, and airway hyperreactivity. Eosinophilic inflammation is a characteristic feature of human asthma, and recent evidence suggests that eosinophils also play a critical role in T cell trafficking in animal models of asthma. Nicotine is an anti-inflammatory, but the association between smoking and asthma is highly contentious and some report that smoking cessation increases the risk of asthma in ex-smokers. To ascertain the effects of nicotine on allergy/asthma, Brown Norway rats were treated with nicotine and sensitized and challenged with allergens. The results unequivocally show that, even after multiple allergen sensitizations, nicotine dramatically suppresses inflammatory/allergic parameters in the lung including the following: eosinophilic/lymphocytic emigration; mRNA and/or protein expression of the Th2 cytokines/chemokines IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-25, and eotaxin; leukotriene C(4); and total as well as allergen-specific IgE. Although nicotine did not significantly affect hexosaminidase release, IgG, or methacholine-induced airway resistance, it significantly decreased mucus content in bronchoalveolar lavage; interestingly, however, despite the strong suppression of IL-4/IL-13, nicotine significantly increased the intraepithelial-stored mucosubstances and Muc5ac mRNA expression. These results suggest that nicotine modulates allergy/asthma primarily by suppressing eosinophil trafficking and suppressing Th2 cytokine/chemokine responses without reducing goblet cell metaplasia or mucous production and may explain the lower risk of allergic diseases in smokers. To our knowledge this is the first direct evidence that nicotine modulates allergic responses.

Abstract
Polymethoxy flavones (PMFs) are present in fruit tissues of Citrus species. It has been reported that flavonoids isolated from several Citrus have been shown to suppress the degranulation as inferred by histamine release in rat basophilic leukemia RBL-2H3 cells. In this study, we examined the effect of PMFs (PMF-1: 6,7,4',5'-tetramethoxy-5-monohydroxyflavone, PMF-2: 5,6,8,3',6'-pentamethoxy flavone, PMF-3: 5,6,7,3',4',5'-hexamethoxy flavone) on the degranulation in RBL-2H3 cells. All the PMFs suppressed the degranulation from Ag-stimulated RBL-2H3 cells. Interestingly, PMF-combination (PMF-1+PMF-2; PMF-1+PMF-3) treatment enhanced the inhibition of degranulation compared with PMF-single treatment. In order to clarify the inhibitory mechanism of degranulation by PMFs, we examined the activation of intracellular signaling molecules such as Lyn, Syk, and PLCgammas. All the PMFs significantly suppressed the activation of Syk and PLCgammas. In Ag-mediated activation of Fc epsilonRI on mast cells, three major subfamilies of mitogen-activated protein kinases, especially ERK44/42, were activated. These PMFs reduced the level of phospho-ERKs. The intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) was elevated by Fc epsilonRI activation, and PMF treatment reduced the elevation of [Ca(2+)]i by suppressing Ca(2+) influx. Thus, it was suggested that the suppression of Ag-stimulated degranulation by these PMFs mainly is due to the Syk/PLCgammas/PKC pathway and Ca(2+) influx. Furthermore, to be noted in the PMF-combination treatment, inactivation of Syk was enhanced compared with PMF-single treatment. But the inhibitory effect of degranulation by PMF-combination treatment was not associated with the suppression of Ca(2+) influx.

Abstract
The 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) pathway has been associated with a variety of inflammatory diseases including asthma, atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, pain, cancer and liver fibrosis. Several classes of 5-LOX inhibitors have been identified, but only one drug, zileuton, a redox inhibitor of 5-LOX, has been approved for clinical use. To better evaluate the efficacy of 5-LOX inhibitors for pharmacological intervention, a rat model was modified to test the in vivo efficacy of 5-LOX inhibitors. Inflammation was produced by adding carrageenan into a newly formed air pouch and prostaglandins produced. While macrophages and neutrophils are present in the inflamed pouch, little 5-LOX products are formed. Cellular 5-LOX activation was obtained by adding calcium ionophore (A23187) into the pouch thus providing a novel model to evaluate the efficacy and selectivity of 5-LOX inhibitors. Also, we described modifications to the in vitro 5-LOX enzyme and cell assays. These assays included a newly developed fluorescence-based enzyme assay, a 5-LOX redox assay, an ex vivo human whole blood assay and an IgE-stimulated rat mast cell assay, all designed for maximal production of leukotrienes. Zileuton and CJ-13,610, a competitive, non-redox inhibitor of 5-LOX, were evaluated for their pharmacological properties using these assays. Although both compounds achieved dose-dependent inhibition of 5-LOX enzyme activity, CJ-13,610 was 3-4 fold more potent than zileuton in all-assays. Evaluation of 5-LOX metabolites-by LC/MS/MS and ELISA confirmed that both compounds selectively inhibited all products downstream of 5-hydroperoxy eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HPETE), including 5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxoETE), without inhibition of 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX), 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX), or cyclooxygenase (COX) products. In the rat air pouch model, oral dosing of CJ-13,610 and zileuton resulted in selective inhibition 5-LOX activity from pouch exudate and ex vivo rat whole blood with similar potency to in vitro assay. These data show that the rat air pouch model is a reliable and useful tool for evaluating in vivo efficacy of 5-LOX inhibitors and may aid in the development of the next generation of 5-LOX inhibitors, such as the non-redox inhibitors similar to CJ-13,610.

Abstract
We investigated the enzymes responsible for FcepsilonRI-dependent production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the influence of ROS on mast cell secretory responses. 5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO) was the primary enzyme involved in ROS production by human mast cells (huMC) and mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (mBMMC) following FcepsilonRI aggregation because incubation with 5-LO inhibitors (AA861, nordihydroguaiaretic acid, zileuton) but not a flavoenzyme inhibitor (diphenyleneiodonium) completely abrogated Ag-induced dichlorodihydrofluorescein (DCF) fluorescence. Furthermore, 5-LO-deficient mBMMC had greatly reduced FcepsilonRI-dependent DCF fluorescence compared with wild type mBMMC or those lacking a functional NADPH oxidase (i.e., gp91(phox)- or p47(phox)-deficient cells). A minor role for cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 in FcepsilonRI-dependent ROS production was demonstrated by inhibition of Ag-mediated DCF fluorescence by a COX-1 inhibitor (FR122047) and reduced DCF fluorescence in COX-1-deficient mBMMC. Complete abrogation of FcepsilonRI-dependent ROS production in mast cells had no effect on degranulation or cytokine secretion. In response to the NADPH oxidase-stimulating agents including PMA, mBMMC and huMC produced negligible ROS. IgG-coated latex beads did stimulate ROS production in huMC, and in this experiment 5-LO and COX again appeared to be the enzymatic sources of ROS. In contrast, IgG-coated latex bead-induced ROS production in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes occurred by the NADPH oxidase pathway. Thus mBMMC and huMC generate ROS by 5-LO and COX-1 in response to FcepsilonRI aggregation; huMC generate ROS upon exposure to IgG-coated latex beads by 5-LO and COX; and ROS appear to have no significant role in FcepsilonRI-dependent degranulation and cytokine production.

Abstract
Resident cardiac mast cells, located mainly around coronary vessels and in the right atrium close to the sinoatrial node, are the main repository of cardiac histamine. Inflammatory activation of cardiac mast cells, as occurs upon acute myocardial infarction, causes the release of histamine and prostanoids. These substances lead to severe tachyarrhythmias, cardiodepressive effects and coronary spasm, thus contributing to myocardial damage and early, lethal outcome. Relaxin, known to inhibit mast cell activation, has been recently validated as a cardiotropic hormone, being produced by the heart and acting on specific heart receptors. In this study, we report on a swine model of heart ischemia/reperfusion, currently used to test cardiotropic drugs, in which human recombinant relaxin (2.5 and 5 microg/kg b.w.), given at reperfusion upon a 30-min ischemia, markedly reduced cardiac injury as compared with the vehicle-treated animals. Evidence is provided that relaxin, at both the assayed doses, causes a clear-cut, significant reduction of plasma histamine, increase in cardiac histamine content and decrease in cardiac mast cell degranulation. This is accompanied by a reduction of oxidative cardiac tissue injury (assessed as tissue malondialdehyde) and of the occurrence of severe ventricular arrhythmias. In conclusion, this study provides further insight into the cardioprotective effects of relaxin, which also involve mast cell inhibition, and confirms the relevance of histamine in the pathophysiology of ischemia-reperfusion-induced cardiac injury and dysfunction. It also offers additional evidence for the potential therapeutic effects of relaxin in animal models of disease involving mast cell activation.

Abstract
The catabolism of heme, generating biliverdin, carbon monoxide, and free iron, is mediated by heme oxygenase (HO). One form of this of this enzyme, heme oxygenase-1, is inducible by numerous agents which promote oxidative stress, and is now known to provide important antioxidant protection, as demonstrated in many rodent models of free radical-mediated pathogenesis, and suggested by epidemiology observing favorable health outcomes in individuals carrying high-expression alleles of the HO-1 gene. The antioxidant impact of HO-1 appears to be mediated by bilirubin, generated rapidly from biliverdin by ubiquitously expressed biliverdin reductase. Bilirubin efficiently scavenges a wide range of physiological oxidants by electron donation. In the process, it is often reconverted to biliverdin, but biliverdin reductase quickly regenerates bilirubin, thereby greatly boosting its antioxidant potential. There is also suggestive evidence that bilirubin inhibits the activity or activation of NADPH oxidase. Increased serum bilirubin is associated with reduced risk for atherogenic disease in epidemiological studies, and more limited data show an inverse correlation between serum bilirubin and cancer risk. Gilbert syndrome, a genetic variant characterized by moderate hyperbilirubinemia attributable to reduced hepatic expression of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase which conjugates bilirubin, has been associated with a greatly reduced risk for ischemic heart disease and hypertension in a recent study. Feasible strategies for boosting serum bilirubin levels may include administration of HO-1 inducers, supplementation with bilirubin or biliverdin, and administration of drugs which decrease the efficiency of hepatic bilirubin conjugation. The well-tolerated uricosuric drug probenecid achieves non-competitive inhibition of hepatic glucuronidation reactions by inhibiting the transport of UDP-glucuronic acid into endoplasmic reticulum; probenecid therapy is included in the differential diagnosis of hyperbilirubinemia, and presumably could be used to induce an ''iatrogenic Gilbert syndrome''. Other drugs, such as rifampin, can raise serum bilirubin through competitive inhibition of hepatocyte bilirubin uptake--although unfortunately rifampin is not as safe as probenecid. Measures which can safely achieve moderate serum elevations of bilirubin may prove to have value in the prevention and/or treatment of a wide range of disorders in which oxidants play a prominent pathogenic role, including many vascular diseases, cancer, and inflammatory syndromes. Phycobilins, algal biliverdin metabolites that are good substrates for biliverdin reductase, may prove to have clinical antioxidant potential comparable to that of bilirubin.

Abstract
Fullerenes are a class of novel carbon allotropes that may have practical applications in biotechnology and medicine. Human mast cells (MC) and peripheral blood basophils are critical cells involved in the initiation and propagation of several inflammatory conditions, mainly type I hypersensitivity. We report an unanticipated role of fullerenes as a negative regulator of allergic mediator release that suppresses Ag-driven type I hypersensitivity. Human MC and peripheral blood basophils exhibited a significant inhibition of IgE dependent mediator release when preincubated with C(60) fullerenes. Protein microarray demonstrated that inhibition of mediator release involves profound reductions in the activation of signaling molecules involved in mediator release and oxidative stress. Follow-up studies demonstrated that the tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk was dramatically inhibited in Ag-challenged cells first incubated with fullerenes. In addition, fullerene preincubation significantly inhibited IgE-induced elevation in cytoplasmic reactive oxygen species levels. Furthermore, fullerenes prevented the in vivo release of histamine and drop in core body temperature in vivo using a MC-dependent model of anaphylaxis. These findings identify a new biological function for fullerenes and may represent a novel way to control MC-dependent diseases including asthma, inflammatory arthritis, heart disease, and multiple sclerosis.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen oxide species (RNOS), including nitric oxide, are produced in cells by a variety of enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms. At high levels, both types of oxidants are used to kill ingested organisms within phagocytes. At low levels, RNOS may diffuse outside cells where they impact the vasculature and nervous system. Recent evidence suggests that low levels of ROS produced within cells are involved in cell signaling. Along with these physiological roles, many pathological conditions exist where detrimental high-level ROS and RNOS are produced. Many situations in which ROS/RNOS are associated also involve mast cell activation. In innate immunity, such mast cells are involved in the immune response toward pathogens. In acquired immunity, activation of mast cells by cross-linking of receptor-bound immunoglobulin E causes the release of mediators involved in the allergic inflammatory response. In this review, we describe the principle pathways for ROS and RNOS generation by cells and discuss the existence of such pathways in mast cells. In addition, we examine the evidence for a functional role for ROS and RNOS in mast cell secretory responses and discuss evidence for a direct relationship between ROS, RNOS, and mast cells in mast cell-dependent inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is an important event in lesional skin of patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU). In the present study, we assessed blood oxidant/antioxidant status of patients suffering from CIU with positive response to autologous serum skin test (ASST) and with negative ASST, to improve our understanding of biological processes and the part of oxidative stress in this disease. Activities of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/ZnSOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), and catalase (CAT) as indices of enzymatic antioxidant capacity, as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) level as a maker of lipid peroxidation were measured in plasma and erythrocytes from 14 CIU female patients showing positive ASST, 31 CIU female patients with negative ASST and in 19 sex- and age-matched healthy subjects. The antioxidant enzyme activity in plasma and in erythrocytes did not differ significantly among the three groups. Also, the plasma and erythrocytes MDA levels were similar in the three groups. Based on our results, it seems that systemic activity of the enzymatic antioxidants (CuZn/SOD, MnSOD, GSH-Px, and CAT) as well as level of lipid peroxidation determined by MDA may not be increased in the course of immune-inflammatory processes associated with CIU. We also suggest that the systemic oxidant/antioxidant status of CIU patients, showing positive response to ASST, may not be different from that of CIU patients with negative ASST.

Abstract
Recently, we showed that phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) can cause a direct, PKC-dependent, stimulation of intracellular cAMP in human eosinophils. Since PMA also stimulates the release of reactive oxygen species in these cells, we have investigated whether reactive oxygen species are involved in the cAMP response. Provided eosinophils were incubated for <20 min at 37 degrees C before stimulation, PMA potently stimulated cAMP generation that surpassed that of histamine. Pre-treatment of the cells with the NADPH oxidase inhibitors, diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) and apocynin, strongly inhibited the cAMP production induced by PMA, but not that induced by histamine. This treatment also strongly inhibited the release of superoxide anions (O(2)(-)). The cAMP response was also inhibited by pre-treatment with the specific peroxide scavenger, ebselen, but not superoxide dismutase, or NG-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), thus, suggesting the possible involvement of a peroxide rather than O(2)(-) or nitric oxide (NO). These results reveal a novel involvement of intracellular reactive oxygen species in protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent stimulation of cAMP production in human eosinophils.

Abstract
In genetically susceptible human and/or experimental animals, heavy metals such as mercury, gold, and silver have been shown to highly induce adverse immunological reactions such as allergy and autoimmunity, in which mast cell degranulation is implicated as playing a role. We previously reported that silver activates mast cells and induces Ca2+ influx without stimulating intracellular signaling events required for activation of store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOCs). The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the possible involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the biological effects of silver. Analysis using oxidant-sensitive fluorescent probes such as dichlorodihydrofluorescein and scopoletin, as well as MCLA-amplified chemiluminescence, showed that silver induced intracellular production and/or extracellular release of ROS. Silver induced mast cell degranulation in a Ca2+ -dependent manner. Unlike IgE antigen, silver-induced Ca2+ influx was not affected by depletion of internal Ca2+ stores. Instead, the metal-induced Ca2+ influx was abolished and reversed by the cell-impermeant thiol-reducing agent dithiothreitol, indicating the regulation by oxidation of vicinal thiols on the cell surface. Consistent with this view, Ca2+ influx was blocked by the glutathione peroxidase mimetic ebselen (2-phenyl-1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one) and the superoxide dismutase mimetic manganese(III) tetrakis 4-(benzoic acid)porphyrin, but not by exogenously added catalase or superoxide dismutase. These findings indicate that silver evokes the release of ROS and oxidation of thiols critical for the activation of a Ca2+ channel other than SOC. Such a novel ROS-dependent pathway might play a role in mast cell degranulation in metal-induced allergic and autoimmune reactions.
