FMLP-activated neutrophils evoke histamine release from mast cells. 1986

Human neutrophils, having been activated by the chemotactic peptide N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), evoke histamine release from rat serosal mast cells. The release is dependent on FMLP concentration and it can be inhibited by disodium cromoglycate and by a flavonoid, silymarin, which displays free radical scavenging properties. Silymarin inhibition of neutrophil-mediated histamine release is dose-dependent. These results further stress the concept of a neutrophil-mast cell interaction, which may be involved in inflammatory processes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008407 Mast Cells Granulated cells that are found in almost all tissues, most abundantly in the skin and the gastrointestinal tract. Like the BASOPHILS, mast cells contain large amounts of HISTAMINE and HEPARIN. Unlike basophils, mast cells normally remain in the tissues and do not circulate in the blood. Mast cells, derived from the bone marrow stem cells, are regulated by the STEM CELL FACTOR. Basophils, Tissue,Basophil, Tissue,Cell, Mast,Cells, Mast,Mast Cell,Tissue Basophil,Tissue Basophils
D009240 N-Formylmethionine Leucyl-Phenylalanine A formylated tripeptide originally isolated from bacterial filtrates that is positively chemotactic to polymorphonuclear leucocytes, and causes them to release lysosomal enzymes and become metabolically activated.

D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
D006636 Histamine Release The secretion of histamine from mast cell and basophil granules by exocytosis. This can be initiated by a number of factors, all of which involve binding of IgE, cross-linked by antigen, to the mast cell or basophil's Fc receptors. Once released, histamine binds to a number of different target cell receptors and exerts a wide variety of effects. Histamine Liberation,Histamine Liberations,Histamine Releases
