[Effect of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) on diphosphoinositide (DPI) synthesis in rat mast cell granules].
Rat mast cell granules were obtained by homogenization of highly purified rat mast cells and isolated in a Percoll gradient. DPI synthesis in rat mast cell granules was assayed by measuring the incorporation of 32P from [gamma 32P] ATP into DPI in the absence of exogenous phosphatidylinositol (PI). Lipids were isolated with methanol/chloroform/HC1 and were separated by thin-layer chromatography on oxalic acid impregnated silica gel plates. DPI areas were identified by staining with iodine, scraped and measured for 32P radioactivity. The addition of PMA to the granules caused an increase of DPI synthesis, which can be catalysed by PI kinase. Neither an inactive phorbol ester, 4-alpha-phorbol-12, 13-didecanoate, nor dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) used as a solvent for PMA had any effect. The effect of PMA in the DPI synthesis was dose-dependent and maximal effects were observed at 10-100 ng/ml. Dose-response curves of the effects of PMA in DPI synthesis in the granules corresponded to those of other biochemical effects of PMA in rat mast cells, such as mediator release mediated through the activation of protein kinase C. These results suggest that PMA may directly affect PI kinase or indirectly regulate its activity in rat mast cell granules.
