title: Effects of three different Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitors on Ca2+ response and leukotriene release in RBL-2H3 cells.
abstract: The effects of three Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitors, thapsigargin (TG), cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), and 2,5-di(tert-butyl)-1,4-hydroquinone (DTBHQ), on the Ca2+ response, degranulation, and leukotriene C4 (LTC4) release in RBL-2H3 cells were investigated. All three compounds elevated the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), and caused degranulation in the presence of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a protein kinase C activator. The dose-dependency of each compound in the Ca2+ response was in good agreement with that in degranulation. TG and CPA also caused the release of LTC4 in a dose-dependent manner, and this effect was unaffected by TPA or calphostin C, a selective PKC inhibitor. DTBHQ, however, did not induce LTC4 release, and rather inhibited the antigen-induced release of LTC4. These results suggest [1] that both degranulation and LTC4 release caused by these compounds are dependent on their [Ca2+]i increasing effect, [2] that degranulation and LTC4 release are mediated via independent pathways following the Ca2+ response, and [3] that DTBHQ additionally prevents the synthesis of LTC4 possibly by inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase.
