Popis: | To elucidate the characterization of cultured human mast cells, the generation of prostaglandin D 2 (PGD 2 ) upon stimulation with IgE-anti IgE challenge was determined by using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry/selected ion monitoring (GC/MS/SIM) assay. Mononuclear cells obtained from human umbilical cord blood were cultured in the presence of Steel Factor, IL-6, and PGE 2 . After 8 weeks of culture, approximately 90 to 95% of cultured cells became tryptase-positive and included basophilic granules. At 12 weeks of culture, cells were harvested and incubated with 1 μg/ml of human IgE for 1 hr and then challenged with 10 μg/ml of anti-IgE. The level of PGD 2 release into the supernatant was measured by GC/MS/SIM with the stable isotope dilution method. Cyclooxygenase inhibitors affected the PGD 2 release from the cell by IgE-anti IgE challenge incubation. Indomethacin inhibited 98% of PGD 2 release. Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and NS-398 (potent COX-2 inhibitor) also inhibited PGD 2 release by 85 and 45% respectively. |
