In rat basophilic leukemia 2H3 (RBL-2H3) cells, mAb AA4 binds to two derivatives of ganglioside GD1b that associate with the Src family kinase p53/56lyn and a serine kinase. Pre-incubation of cells with mAb AA4 blocks immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated histamine release. In the present study we investigated the effect of incubation with mAb AA4 on signal transduction events. In addition to stimulation of the high affinity IgE receptor (Fc epsilonRI), cells were also activated by the calcium ionophore A23187 and the acetylcholine agonist carbachol in RBL-2H3 cells transfected with the G protein-coupled m3 muscarinic receptor. Incubation of cells with mAb AA4 in a dose-dependent manner inhibited the following Fc epsilonRI-induced signal transduction events: the increase of intracellular free calcium, phosphoinositol breakdown, tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins including the beta- of Fc epsilonRI and secretion. However, there was no inhibition of degranulation or of these biochemical events when cells were stimulated with calcium ionophore or activated via a G protein-coupled pathway. Our results demonstrate that mAb AA4 selectively blocks Fc epsilonRI-induced cell activation at a very early step upstream of receptor tyrosine phosphorylation. As mAb AA4 has previously been found to bind to gangliosides associated with Fc epsilonRI, inhibition of very early biochemical events may be due to interaction of mAb AA4 with the Fc epsilonRI induced signal transduction cascade at the receptor level.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007073 Immunoglobulin E An immunoglobulin associated with MAST CELLS. Overexpression has been associated with allergic hypersensitivity (HYPERSENSITIVITY, IMMEDIATE). IgE
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.

D005732 Gangliosides A subclass of ACIDIC GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS. They contain one or more sialic acid (N-ACETYLNEURAMINIC ACID) residues. Using the Svennerholm system of abbrevations, gangliosides are designated G for ganglioside, plus subscript M, D, or T for mono-, di-, or trisialo, respectively, the subscript letter being followed by a subscript arabic numeral to indicated sequence of migration in thin-layer chromatograms.
