چکیده

Cytochalasin B, a metabolic product of several fungi, enhances up to 10-fold the sensitivity and reactivity of human leukocytes to antigen E or anti-IgE-mediated histamine release. The effect of cytochalasin B is a result of its action on the second, antigen-independent, stage of histamine release. These data suggest that normally, antigen-triggered histamine release is modulated by a cytochalasin-sensitive barrier (CSB). This CSB modulation of histamine release can be separated from the modulating effect of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP).

Histamine release from human leukocytes: studies with deuterium oxide, colchicine, and cytochalasin B.

Agents known to interact with either microtubules or microfilaments influenced the antigen-induced release of histamine from the leukocytes of allergic individuals. Deuterium oxide (D(2)O) which stabilizes microtubules and thereby favors their formation enhanced histamine release markedly. Concentrations as low as 5% increased antigen-induced release somewhat while concentrations as high as 75%...

Mechanisms of Lysosomal Enzyme Release from Human Leukocytes

Selective release of inflammatory materials from leukocyte lysosomes is reduced by compounds which increase cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels in suspensions of human leukocytes and is augmented by agents which increase cyclic 3',5'-guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels in these cell suspensions. Lysosomal enzymes are released in the absence of phagocytosis when cytochalasin B (...

Phagocytosis by human blood leukocytes measured by the uptake of 131I-labeled human serum albumin: inhibitory and stimulatory effects of cytochalasin B.

In the study of phagocytosis, the experimental systems used must be able to distinguish among various aspects of the phagocytic process, such as chemotaxis, adherence of the ingestate, engulfment, fusion of phagosome and lysosome, metabolic perturbations, and extracellular release of various substances. Chang introduced a method for measuring the degree of ingestion of starch particles by rabbi...

An inhibitor of histamine release from human leukocytes.

Lysates of human leukocytes, prepared by ultrasonic disruption, contained heat-labile histamine-releasing factors. An inhibitor of histamine release was generated from such lysates during thermal inactivation of the histamine-releasing activity. Lysates inactivated at 38 degrees C for 60 min produced up to 90% inhibition of histamine release from human leukocytes. Heated lysates produced signif...

Mechanisms of lysosomal enzyme release from human leukocytes: microtubule assembly and membrane fusion induced by a component of complement.

A low-molecular-weight component of complement, similar to or identical with human C5a, interacts with human polymorphonuclear leukocytes treated with cytochalasin B and provokes extracellular release of lysosomal enzymes from these cells. Enzyme release occurs in the absence of particles and is selective in that it is not accompained by release of cytoplasmic enzymes. Cell viability is not alt...
