Early kinetics of Ca2+ fluxes and histamine release in rat mast cells stimulated with compound 48/80. 1984

D E McClain, and M A Donlon, and T A Hill, and G N Catravas

The kinetics of Ca2+ uptake and efflux have been measured in rat peritoneal mast cells stimulated with compound 48/80 using rapid mixing and a silicone oil centrifugation technique. Responses at one-second time intervals were resolved beginning as early as three seconds after initial stimulation. The results clearly demonstrate that Ca2+ uptake occurs after the initiation of histamine release. Ca2+ efflux occurs simultaneously with histamine release. The implications of these findings are discussed and the technique is described.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
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

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D002132 Calcium Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of calcium that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. Ca atoms with atomic weights 39, 41, 45, 47, 49, and 50 are radioactive calcium isotopes. Radioisotopes, Calcium

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
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
