title: Synergistic enhancement of histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells by the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate is not reflected by corresponding changes in phospholipid turnover.
abstract: In an attempt to elucidate further the relationship between changes in phospholipid metabolism in, and histamine secretion from, purified rat peritoneal mast cells, the effects of the phorbol diester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) on these responses in stimulated and unstimulated cells was investigated. TPA caused a dose-dependent increase in the incorporation of 32PO4(3-) into the mast cell phospholipids; phosphatidic acid (PA) and phosphatidylcholine (PC), but not phosphatidylinositol (PI). TPA synergistically enhanced histamine release from cells stimulated by anti-immunoglobulin E (IgE) and the calcium ionophore A23187, reducing its ED50 from 150 nM to 40 nM, but did not alter histamine release from cells stimulated by compound 48/80. The effect of TPA on the changes in 32PO4(3-) incorporation into phospholipids associated with the above secretagogues did not, however, correlate well with the observed effects on histamine secretion induced by the same secretagogues. These observations are discussed in relation to the known effects of phorbol esters upon both secretory processes and phospholipid metabolism in other tissues.
