Abstract
Mast cells play a central role in allergy through secretion of both preformed and newly synthesized mediators. Mast cell mediator secretion is controlled by a complex network of signaling events. Despite intensive studies, signaling pathways in the regulation of mast cell mediator secretion remain incompletely defined. In this study, we examined the role of calpain in IgE-dependent mast cell activation. IgE-mediated activation of mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells enhanced calpain activity. Inhibition of calpain activity by a number of calpain inhibitors reduced IgE-mediated mast cell degranulation both in vitro and in vivo. Calpain inhibitors blocked IgE-mediated TNF and IL-6 production in vitro and reduced late-phase allergic response in vivo. Importantly, mouse calpain-1 null bone marrow-derived mast cells showed reduced IgE-mediated mast cell degranulation in vitro and in vivo, diminished cytokine and chemokine production in vitro, and impaired late-phase allergic response in vivo. Further studies revealed that calpain-1 deficiency led to specific attenuation of IκB-NF-κB pathway and IKK-SNAP23 pathway, whereas calcium flux, MAPK, Akt, and NFAT pathway proceed normally in IgE-activated calpain-1 null mast cells. Thus, calpain-1 is identified as a novel regulator in IgE-mediated mast cell activation and could serve as a potential therapeutic target for the management of allergic inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are controversial reports on the effect of sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na+-K+ ATPase) inhibition on mast cell mediator release. Some of them have indicated that ouabain (strophanthin G), a specific Na+-K+ ATPase inhibitor, inhibited the release, whereas the others have shown that ouabain had no effect or even had a stimulatory effect on the mediator secretion. Most of these studies have utilized animal-derived mast cells. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Na+-K+ ATPase inhibition on human skin mast cells. METHODS Unpurified and purified mast cells were obtained from newborn foreskins and stimulated by calcium ionophore A23187 (1 microM) for 30 min following a 1 hr incubation with various concentrations (10(-4) to 10(-8) M) of ouabain. Histamine release was assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS The results indicated that ouabain had no significant effect on the non-immunologic histamine release from human skin mast cells, in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Na+-K+ ATPase inhibition by ouabain had no significant effect on the non-immunologic histamine release from human cutaneous mast cells and suggested differences between human and animal mast cells.

Abstract
We have previously shown that store-associated microdomains of high Ca(2+) are not essential for exocytosis in RBL-2H3 mucosal mast cells. We have now examined whether Ca(2+) microdomains near the plasma membrane are required, by comparing the secretory responses seen when Ca(2+) influx was elicited by two very different mechanisms. In the first, antigen was used to activate the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) current (I(CRAC)) through CRAC channels. In the second, a Ca(2+) ionophore was used to transport Ca(2+) randomly across the plasma membrane. Since store depletion by Ca(2+) ionophore will also activate I(CRAC), different means of inhibiting I(CRAC) before ionophore addition were used. Ca(2+) responses and secretion in individual cells were compared using simultaneous indo-1 microfluorometry and constant potential amperometry. Secretion still takes place when the increase in intracellular Ca(2+) occurs diffusely via the Ca(2+) ionophore, and at an average intracellular Ca(2)+ concentration that is no greater than that observed when Ca(2+) entry via CRAC channels triggers secretion. Our results suggest that microdomains of high Ca(2+) near the plasma membrane, or associated with mitochondria or Ca(2+) stores, are not required for secretion. Therefore, we conclude that modest global increases in intracellular Ca(2+) are sufficient for exocytosis in these nonexcitable cells.
