The appearance of fixative-sensitive peroxidase activity in the nuclear envelope and endoplasmic reticulum of bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) cultured in the presence of 1 microM dexamethasone (DM) for up to 14 days and its relationship with immunologic release of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) by these cells were studied. Endogenous peroxidase activity, previously shown as a marker of arachidonic acid metabolism in various cell types, was visualized by cell incubation in 3,3' diaminobenzidine-containing solution before glutaraldehyde fixation. PGD2 release was induced by passive sensitization of BMMC with an optimal dose of monoclonal IgE and subsequent challenge with specific a antigen. We found that 4-week-old BMMC, used as the starting population of the present study, exhibited immature morphologic features, did not present peroxidase activity when cytochemically processed, and released minute amounts of PGD2 in response to IgE-dependent stimulation. When such BMMC were exposed to DM during 24 hours, they showed aldehyde-inhibited peroxidase activity in the perinuclear envelope and a few endoplasmic reticulum segments. As compared with untreated cells, 24-hour DM-exposed BMMC released higher amounts of PGD2 upon immunologic stimulation. After an additional 14-day period of DM exposure, an intense peroxidase activity was detected in the perinuclear envelope and the endoplasmic reticulum of BMMC, which, under immunologic stimulation, released as much as 42.4 +/- 14.7 ng of PGD2/1 x 10(6) cells. Aminotriazole (20 and 50 mM) extinguished both peroxidase activity and PGD2 release from BMMC whereas indomethacin (1 microM) suppressed PGD2 production, but did not alter endogenous peroxidase activity. Previous cell fixation with glutaraldehyde totally inhibited endogenous peroxidase reaction in DM-exposed BMMC. Moreover, 14-day DM-exposed BMMC exhibited morphologic characteristics of mature mast cells and possessed alcian blue+/safranin+ granules. Therefore, the present data suggest that appearance of peroxidase activity in the nuclear envelope and the endoplasmic reticulum of DM-exposed BMMC is associated with the ability of the cells to synthetize PGD2 and appears as a cytochemical marker of the in vitro maturation of mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007213 Indomethacin A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) that inhibits CYCLOOXYGENASE, which is necessary for the formation of PROSTAGLANDINS and other AUTACOIDS. It also inhibits the motility of POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. Amuno,Indocid,Indocin,Indomet 140,Indometacin,Indomethacin Hydrochloride,Metindol,Osmosin
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

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

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
