title: Gi-mediated activation of the Syk kinase by the receptor mimetic basic secretagogues of mast cells: role in mediating arachidonic acid/metabolites release.
abstract: Syk kinase is essential for FcepsilonRI-mediated signaling and release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells. We now show that activation of rat peritoneal mast cells by the nonimmunological, G(i)-mediated pathway also results in the activation of Syk. We show that compound 48/80 (c48/80), a receptor analogue that activates directly G proteins, activates Syk in a pertussis toxin-sensitive fashion. We further show that Syk activation by c48/80 is blocked by the protein kinase C inhibitor GF109203X, by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitors, wortmannin and LY294002, by EGTA, and by the selective src-like kinase inhibitor PP1. These results suggest that in the nonimmunological, G(i)-mediated pathway, Syk is located downstream from phospholipase C and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. However, in common with the FcepsilonRI-mediated pathway, activation of Syk by c48/80 is dependent on a src-like protein tyrosine kinase. Finally, we show that in the nonimmunological pathway, Syk plays a central role in the release of arachidonic acid/eicosanoid metabolites, but not in the release of prestored mediators such as histamine.
