Estevez MD, Vieytes MR, Louzao MC, Alfonso A, Vilarino N, Botana LM: The antineoplastic drug vinorelbine activates non-immunological histamine release from rat mast cells. Inflamm Res. 1997 Apr;46(4):119-24.
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN: We explore the mechanism of the antineoplastic drug vinorelbine activation in its rat mast cell exocytosis. MATERIALS: The study was carried out on mast cells obtained from Sprague-Dawley rats. TREATMENT: Vinorelbine (5-100 micrograms/mL), cholera toxin (200 ng/mL), pertussis toxin (100 ng/mL), benzalkonium chloride (10 micrograms/mL), compound 48/80 (1 microgram/mL), okadaic acid (1 microM), 12-tetradecanoate-acetate (50 ng/ml), perphenazine (1 microgram/ml), theophylline (10 mM), IBMX (1 mM), rolipram (15 microM). METHODS: Histamine release was measured fluorimetrically. RESULTS: The drugs that modify G-protein activity, cholera toxin, pertussis toxin or benzalkonium chloride, do not modify the response profile. The exocytosis elicited by compound 48/80 is decreased by Gs or Gi modulation, which suggests that G proteins are not involved in vinorelbine stimulated secretion. The phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid shows no effect on vinorelbine-stimulated release, nor on the activation or inhibition of protein kinase C with phorbol 12-tetradecanoate-acetate or perphenazine. The unspecific phosphodiesterase inhibitors theophylline and IBMX inhibited histamine release, but not the phosphodiesterase IV inhibitor rolipram. CONCLUSIONS: The overall results show that vinorelbine activates histamine release through a rather selective mechanism that may be mediated by certain phosphodiesterase-dependent transduction pathways. |
