title: Potentiation of antigen-induced mast cell activation by 1-34 bovine parathyroid hormone.
abstract: Peptides such as parathyroid hormone (PTH), somatostatin, and gastrin have been reported to stimulate mast cell mediator release. Preincubation of rat serosal mast cells with synthetic 1-34 bovine parathyroid hormone (1-34bPTH) significantly enhanced antigen-induced 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) release. Enhancement of 5-HT release by 1-34bPTH was dose dependent between 5 and 2000 nM. In the absence of antigen, mean net 5-HT release was less than 1% when naive or passively sensitized mast cells were incubated with 1000 nM 1-34bPTH for time intervals up to 90 min. These findings indicate that 1-34bPTH, at relatively low concentration, potentiates antigen-induced 5-HT release from mast cells.
