Abstract: | A cloned murine mast cell line designated MC9 expresses a 5-lipoxygenase activity when stimulated with the ionophore A23187. Upon addition of 0.5 uM ionophore, MC9 cells produce 270 ± 43 pmoles 5-HETE, 74 ± 40 pmoles 5,12 di HETEs and 65 ± 31 pmoles LTC4/106 cells from 37 uM exogenously added [1-14C]arachidonic acid in two minutes. 5-HETE and 5,12-di HETES, including LTB4 were identified by GC/MS whereas LTC4 was confirmed by HPLC mobility, bio-assay, RIA and enzymatic transformation. The principal cyclooxygenase products were PGD2 and TxB2 (8.5 ± 2.4 and 5.4 ± 1.2 pmoles/106 cells respectively). Prostanoids were identified by comigration with authentic standards on two-dimensional thin layer chromatograms. Production of arachidonic acid lipoxygenase metabolites stimulated with ionophore proved relatively insensitive to removal of extracellular Ca+2 and chelation by EGTA. In addition, MC9 5-lipoxygenase required only low micromolar amounts of exogenous arachidonic acid for maximal activity. Whereas production of arachidonic acid metabolites lasted only two to five minutes, histamine release stimulated with ionophore was not initiated until 5 minutes (12 ± 3% cellular histamine) and continued for 30 minutes (37 ± 7% cellular histamine). Although these cells metabolize arachidonic acid differently from the classic peritoneal-derived mast cell, they resemble subpopulations found in certain tissues (such as mucosa) and should be useful in understanding the biochemistry of mast cell mediator release. |
