title: Effect of NCDC, a protease inhibitor, on histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells induced by anti-IgE.
abstract: NCDC dose-dependently inhibited histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells induced by anti-IgE. Moreover, NCDC inhibited Ca(2+)-mobilization from intracellular Ca(2+)-stores as well as histamine release in mast cells activated by anti IgE, the effect on both of these phenomena being closely correlated. Anti-IgE induced a rapid increase in IP3 production from phosphoinositides in mast cells, with its production in 15 sec, followed to baseline levels within 1 min. Anti-IgE stimulated PLC activity on mast cells membrane preparation. NCDC dose-dependently inhibited the generation of IP3. These results suggest that the inhibitory effect of NCDC on the release of histamine induced by anti-IgE is due to, in part at least, the inhibition of PI-specific PLC and that the inhibitory effects of NCDC are involved in intracellular calcium store.
