Differential inhibition of histamine release from mast cells by protein kinase C inhibitors: staurosporine and K-252a.
Pretreatment of rat peritoneal mast cells with either staurosporine or an analog K-252a [(8R*,9S*,11S*)-(-)-9-hydroxyl-9-methoxycarbonyl-8-methyl-2,3, 9,10-tetrahydro-8,11-epoxy-1H,8H,11H-2,7b,11-atrizadibenzo- [a,g]cycloocta[cde]trinden-1-one] led to a concentration-related inhibition of histamine release when the cells were stimulated with anti-IgE (IC50: staurosporine = 110 nM; K-252a = 100 nM). In contrast, the two protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors (1-1000 nM) partially (less than 15%) inhibited histamine release induced by compound 48/80 (0.5 to 1 micrograms/mL). Furthermore, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis mediated by anti-IgE from rat peritoneal mast cells was also inhibited by staurosporine and K-252a (IC50 = 100 nM). Exposure of anti-arsenate IgE (anti-Ars-IgE) sensitized mouse bone marrow derived mast cells to arsenate-bovine serum albumin (Ars-BSA) led to the release of both histamine (510 +/- 12.6 ng/10(6) cells) and immunoreactive leukotriene C4 (LTC4) (27.0 +/- 2.6 ng/10(6) cells). Both histamine and LTC4 release was inhibited by staurosporine and K-252a with an IC50 of 50 nM for both compounds. We also characterized a 45K molecular weight protein which is phosphorylated by PKC after Ars-BSA or phorbol, 12-myristate, 13-acetate (PMA) stimulation. This protein is phosphorylated in a broken cell preparation in which PKC is activated by phosphatidylserine/Diolein and Ca2+. Peptide mapping by V8 protease of the phosphorylated 45K protein revealed that the 45K protein phosphorylation patterns induced by IgE or PMA or in the broken cell preparation are identical. Pretreatment of 32P-labeled mouse bone marrow derived mast cells with either staurosporine or K-252a led to a concentration-related inhibition of 45K protein phosphorylation induced by PMA or Ars-BSA. This inhibition of protein phosphorylation correlated well with the inhibition of histamine and leukotriene release in bone marrow derived mast cells.
