Bacteria release histamine from human basophil leukocytes and mast cells. The release can be caused by an immunological (IgE-dependent) mechanism, but mostly we found a non-immunological (lectinmediated) mechanism which indicates that mediator release triggered by bacteria can occur without the person being sensitized to the micro-organism in question.Both bacteria and bacterial products such as endotoxins potentiate basophil histamine release caused by allergens in allergic patients or by bacteria in persons sensitized to the micro-organisms. It is therefore tempting to speculate that bacteria and their products might be of importance for asthma by their capacity to release histamine and to potentiate mediator release. 相似文献

The histamine-releasing capability of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) was examined in human leukocyte suspensions. LPS alone did not release histamine, but it was found to enhance the histamine release caused by bacteria in basophils from persons sensitized to these bacteria. In the presence of serum, LPS was able to release histamine through complement activation. It is speculated that endotoxins reinforce release of histamine caused by bacteria in persons sensitized to these microorganisms, and a direct mediator release via complement activation might play a role in septic conditions. 相似文献

Bacterial Histamine Release by Immunological and Non-Immunological Lectin-Mediated Reactions 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The mechanisms of bacteria-induced histamine release were examined in vitro in human leukocytes and rat mast cells. Three types of bacterial responders were found. In persons with IgE-bearing basophilocytes bacterial histamine release could be triggered by two different mechanisms, an IgE-dependent mechanism where removal of IgE abolished the release and a non-immunological mechanism where this was not the case. In responders with no IgE-bearing cells bacterial histamine release was caused by a non-immunological mechanism. The non-immunological mechanism was further substantiated by release in isolated mast cells from germ-free rats. These experiments suggest a direct interaction between bacteria and target cell, and experiments with multi-washed bacteria and bacteria cell wall preparations indicate the possibility of the bacteria wall interacting with the target cell. It is probable that the non-immunological mechanism depends on lectin-mediated reactions, since bacteria-induced histamine release was inhibited by lectin-binding sugars as is release caused by plant lectins. 相似文献

We have earlier suggested that bacteria-induced histamine release is caused by different mechanisms, including allergic and non-immunological mechanisms, and that the latter probably depends on lectin-mediated reactions. Two possibilities of lectin-mediated reactions were examined in this study, bacterial surface lectins bind to sugars on the basophil cell membrane leading to histamine release, and the reverse reaction where bacterial aminosugars react with lectins on the basophil cell surface. In the bacterial histamine release caused by the Staph. aureus strain Wood 46 it was possible to demonstrate a reverse reaction, but not a bacterial lectin-mediated reaction. The reaction seems to be complex, as lower concentrations of sugars might potentiate the release of histamine by binding to the target cell or bacteria, while the release is inhibited by higher concentrations. 相似文献

Histamine is a physiological mediator which exerts both effector and regulatory functions through its receptors on various cells. The aim of the study was to investigate changes in histamine receptor expression on peripheral blood lymphocytes affected by stimulation with both specific and nonspecific stimuli. Lymphocytes were obtained from both healthy and allergic subjects. Cells were incubated with various allergens (mixed grass pollen, Lolium perenne, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus 1, bee venom, phospholipase A2) and nonspecific (fMLP, PMA/ionomycin, LPS) stimuli. The percentage of histamine-binding cells was determined with a fluorescence microscope after incubation with histamine-fluorescein. In control subjects histamine binding after stimulation with allergens was not significantly changed. In contrast, in allergic subjects stimulation with specific allergens resulted in significantly increased histamine binding. Nonspecific stimulation caused increased histamine binding to lymphocytes in both allergic subjects and healthy controls. We conclude that specific and nonspecific activation of lymphocytes is associated with increased expression of histamine receptors. 相似文献

Haemophilus influenza and its extracellular products (EP) did not release histamine from basophil leukocytes in cell suspensions from normal individuals, patients with chronic bronchitis or patients allergic to either house dust mite, grass pollen, cat dander or to their own bacteria. However, the EP was found to enhance their basophil histamine release. IgE-mediated histamine release was examined by stimulation of the cells with anti-IgE or the specific allergens, and non-immunological histamine release by stimulating the cells with the calcium ionophore A23187 or Staphylococcus aureus. In all the experiments EP caused a significant increase in the histamine release. When H. influenzae endotoxins were removed from the EP, the potentiating effect of EP was completely abolished, whereas heating (80 degrees C, 30 min) or treatment of EP with proteinase did not influence the potentiating effect. These results indicate that H. influenzae endotoxin potentiates histamine release caused by IgE-mediated reactions or by non-immunological mechanisms. 相似文献

The effect of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on histamine release from human basophils. I. Enhancement of immunologic release by LPS 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Preincubation of human basophils with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) purified from the heptose-deficient mutant Salmonella minnesota R595 enhanced by an average of sixfold the response of peripheral blood basophils obtained from allergic donors to several allergens in vitro as judged by release of histamine. Enhancement occurred at suboptimal, optimal, and supraoptimal concentrations of antigen. No effect was seen if basophils were from a nonallergic donor, and LPS by itself rarely caused histamine release from any preparation of basophils. However, histamine release in basophils from nonallergic donors induced by antibody directed against IgE (anti-IgE) also was enhanced by LPS. Potentiation of histamine release occurred if basophils were pretreated with LPS before addition of anti-IgE for as little as 5 min; there was no increase in release if anti-IgE and LPS were added simultaneously to cells. LPS enhanced the rate of release without altering duration of the release response. LPS potentiation of release of histamine by F(ab')2 fragments of anti-IgE was equivalent to its effect on release triggered by the intact antibody molecule, confirming that the effect of LPS is not due solely to its interaction with the Fc component of the anti-IgE. These data thus provide evidence for modulation of basophil response to IgE-mediated stimuli by LPS, resulting in a significant enhancement of response. Enhancement by LPS appears to be independent of the stimulus which triggers the IgE receptor. The contribution of this mechanism to allergic disease or asthma remains to be determined. 相似文献

Histamine release was examined in leukocyte suspensions from patients allergic to grass pollen, mite or cat dander or to bacteria (antigen). When the cells were challenged with specific antigen plus bacteria to which the person was not sensitized, these bacteria were found to potentiate the allergic histamine release. The potentiating effect by bacteria might be due to the bacterial cell wall components, peptidoglycan and teichoic acid, which mimic the effect of bacteria. 相似文献

Allergen-mediated histamine release from human leukocytes represents an important model for in vitro studies of allergic reactions. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the measurement of histamine released in allergic patients by radioenzymatic assay following mixing of their blood with common allergens represents a reliable index for diagnosis of atopic allergy. Three categories of allergens were used: 1) house dust and mite; 2) cat and dog dander; 3) trees, grasses and ragweed mixture. The presence of allergy was established by clinical history and intradermal skin testing in the study group of 150 patients. A significant allergen-mediated histamine release ranging from 4 to 65% of the total blood histamine content was observed in 96% of the patients with skin test sensitivity of greater than or equal to 3+. There was a significant correlation between skin testing and histamine release in terms of the allergens causing the response. Thus, the measurement of histamine by radioenzymatic technique following its release in blood in response to allergen challenge represents a clinically useful in vitro test for the diagnosis of atopic disease. 相似文献

Basophil Histamine Release Induced by Leukocyte Nuclei in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Leukocyte suspensions containing basophils were obtained from 23 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). When these cells were incubated with leukocyte nuclei from normal persons, histamine release was seen in 11 of the 15 patients with active disease, but not in the quiescent group or in normal individuals. The dose-response curve for histamine release was similar to that obtained by specific antigen in type I allergy. By removal from and refixation to the cells of surface Ig, the release of histamine was respectively, abolished and restored, just as in similar experiments in hay fever patients. The dependence of pH for removal was also identical with that found in type I allergy. Antinuclear antibodies of the IgE class (IgE ANA) mainly directed against the granulocyte nuclei were often found in serum and on the cell surface of the RA patients, but not in normal individuals. A correlation was found between these titres in serum and on the cell surface. No correlation was found between ANA in serum and on the cell surface, on the one hand and disease activity and histamine release on the other. In a group of 12 patients with another joint disease, osteoarthrosis, only two patients showed histamine release, and in contrast to the other patients they showed swelling of more than two joints. The present investigation supports our hypothesis of an involvement of an autoimmune type I reaction directed against nuclear components in the RA disease. 相似文献

Hemoglobins of the Diptera species Chironomus thummi thummi (Chi t I) are potent inhalant allergens. Chi t I-specific histamine release was measured by a new radioimmunoassay in whole human blood taken from 20 sensitized patients, 11 exposed nonsensitized probands, and 11 nonexposed controls. The sensitized patients, who all had positive skin tests and radioallergosorbent test results with Chi t I, showed a significantly higher histamine release than the two other groups. However, within the patient group, the percentage of released histamine did not correlate with the intensity of the skin test response or the concentration of Chi t I-specific IgE antibodies. Our results demonstrate that this method is a sensitive and specific in vitro test for evaluation of IgE-mediated sensitization. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The three forms of IgE receptor: the heterotrimeric high-affinity receptor for IgE (FcepsilonRI), the low-affinity receptor for IgE (FcepsilonRII/CD23) and the Mac-2/IgE-binding protein (epsilonBP), have previously been found on human neutrophils. We have previously shown that specific allergens are able to activate functional responses by neutrophils from allergic patients sensitized to those allergens. Neutrophils are present in the sites of allergic inflammation. The primary (azurophilic) granules of neutrophils contain a variety of enzymes that might potentiate inflammation, such as myeloperoxidase (MPO). It is not known whether specific allergens are able to elicit MPO release by neutrophils from allergic patients. METHODS: Neutrophils were challenged in vitro with the specific allergen that produced clinical symptoms in asthmatic patients. Also, the cells were challenged with allergens that the patients were not sensitive to. Neutrophils from normal subjects were also challenged with allergens. RESULTS: The in vitro challenge of neutrophils with allergens that the patients were sensitive to elicited a release of MPO by these cells. The in vitro activation of neutrophils was highly allergen-specific, in such a way that allergens other than those accounting for clinical symptoms did not evoke MPO release, and allergens were ineffective on neutrophils from healthy donors. CONCLUSION: An IgE-dependent mechanism might promote MPO release by neutrophils at allergic sites. 相似文献

Influenza A virus was found to enhance basophil histamine release induced by Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus sanguis, but did not per se release histamine. This potentiating effect of the virus was seen both when the bacteria-induced mediator release was IgE-dependent (i.e. patient allergic to bacterium) and when the bacterium caused histamine release by a non-immunological mechanism independent of IgE (putative sugar-lectin mediated). Also histamine release induced by other immunological and non-immunological stimuli, such as anti-IgE, calcium ionophore or agarose beads was enhanced in the presence of the virus. The potentiating effect of the virus on bacteria-induced mediator release might be of importance for the conversion from latent to manifest asthma in upper respiratory tract infections. 相似文献

Background The degree of airway hyperresponsiveness in allergic asthmatic patients may be influenced by changes in environmental exposure to inhalant allergens. Objective This study investigates the relationship between seasonal changes in exposure to house dust mite (HDM) allergens and non-specific airway hyperresponsiveness in asthmatic patients with multiple sensitizations to inhaled allergens. Methods In 43 asthmatic patients sensitized to several inhalant allergens, lung function (FEV1), airway hyperresponsiveness (PC20 histamine), serum total IgE, house dust mite (HDM) specific IgE and number of peripheral blood eosinophils were measured during autumn 1990 (September-November) and spring 1991 (March—May). During each season. floor dust samples were collected twice from living- and bedrooms and the concentration of the HDM allergens Der p 1 and Der p 2 determined. Results More severe airway hyperresponsiveness (lower PC20 histamine) during autumn was only found in patients sensitized to HDM(n= 32; autumn: 2.05mg/mL, spring: 4.51mg/mL (geometric means), P <0.0 1), whereas in patients not sensitized to HDM (n= 11) similar values were observed in both seasons (3.44 and 4.52 mg/mL. respectively, P= 0.56). More severe airway hyperresponsiveness of HDM sensitized patients in autumn was significantly associated with higher Der p 1 concentrations in floor dust. Aside from airway hyperresponsiveness, seasonal changes in serum total IgE and number of peripheral blood eosinophils were seen in patients sensitized to HDM, Conclusions In allergic asthmatic patients, airway hyperresponsiveness may increase during autumn, depending on sensitization to HDM and an increase of exposure to HDM allergen. 相似文献

The present study was undertaken to assess the importance of Chironomidae as an allergen causing bronchial asthma in Japan, and to evaluate histamine release as an allergy test in chironomid-midge allergic patients. Extracts of Chironomidae (T. akamusi and C. Yoshimatsui) caused the release of histamine in six out of 13 allergic patients with positive skin tests. In contrast, histamine release induced by these allergens was not observed in leukocytes from two asthmatic patients and five control subjects without IgE antibody as evidenced by negative skin tests and RAST. There was a significant correlation between maximal histamine release and IgE antibody levels. Furthermore, a significant inverse relationship between the concentration of allergen causing 25% histamine release (HR25) and IgE antibody levels was observed. The correlation coefficients, however, between histamine release and RAST were not high, and there were discrepancies between the two tests in some cases. These results suggest that Chironomidae induce histamine release from leukocytes via IgE-mediated mechanism but histamine release cannot be replaced by RAST and also suggest that chironomid midge is one of the important allergens in Japan. 相似文献

Sensitive Glass Microfibre-Based Histamine Analysis for Allergy Testing in Washed Blood Cells 总被引:13,自引:6,他引:7
The new microfibre method for allergy testing is based on basophil histamine release after challenge with suspected allergens in samples of 50 microliter washed blood cells. Released histamine is bound to microfibres and measured after removal of interfering substances by washing. The microfibre method was compared with the conventional leukocyte histamine release assay in 18 allergic patients tested with 10 different allergens. It was found that the same individuals responded with histamine release to the same allergens in both assays, and the number of responders was almost identical. Also the dose-response curves and the cell sensitivity were almost identical, which further substantiated identity between the results obtained by the new microfibre method and the conventional assay. A comparison between the microfibre method and in vivo provocation tests showed good agreement when comparing the number of positive and negative responses in these test. The new method overcomes the problems in allergy testing, where only small amounts of blood are available and many tests have to be carried out. 相似文献

The possible mode of action of the recently demonstrated steroid effect on the immediate type allergic reaction has been studied. The influence of a topical steroid, budesonide, on the nasal mucosal histamine content and anti-IgE induced histamine release was studied in an open study. A 1-week treatment with budesonide, used locally in the nose, was administered to 22 hay fever patients who were studied out of the pollen season. There was a decrease of histamine content after steroid treatment and also a blockade of the anti-IgE mediated histamine release, as shown in an in vitro release procedure. This steroid effect may partly explain the effect of steroids on the immediate reaction, as it has been demonstrated in allergen challenge studies. 相似文献

Histamine release from basophil leukocytes induced by microbial antigen preparations in patients with AIDS 总被引:1,自引:2,他引:1
Type I allergy against some common microorganisms was investigated in 14 patients with AIDS and 11 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody-positive homosexual men, and in a control group consisting of 13 heterosexual men without HIV antibodies. Basophil histamine release technique was used as a sensitive method to detect type I allergy against Candida albicans (CA), Herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-I) and cytomegalovirus (CMV). Of the 14 AIDS patients 11 (78%) showed significant histamine release when stimulated with CA, and HSV-I caused release in 10 (71%), whereas no response was obtained by CMV. In the group of HIV antibody-positive men only one released histamine when stimulated with CA and HSV-I and this patient also had lymphadenopathia. In contrast to these results, no release of histamine was obtained in the control group consisting of 13 heterosexual men. The histamine release caused by CA and HSV-I is mediated by an immunological reaction, since the release was abolished and regained by removal from and refixation to the cell surface of the cell-bound immunoglobulins. These results suggest an involvement of type I allergy as a pathogenetic co-factor in some infections in AIDS, and allergic type I reactions to CA and HSV-I might be an indicator for the presence of manifest AIDS. 相似文献

Epinastine caused an inhibition of histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells induced by both antigen-antibody reaction and compound 48/80. Epinastine was similarly effective in inhibiting compound 48/80-induced histamine release not only from isolated rat peritoneal mast cells but also from rat mesenterial pieces. Also, histamine release from lung pieces obtained from actively sensitized guinea pigs after exposure to antigen challenge was markedly inhibited by epinastine. The drug was effective in inhibiting not only Ca2+ uptake into lung mast cells in actively sensitized guinea pigs but also Ca2+ release from the intracellular Ca store of rat peritoneal mast cells exposed to both compound 48/80 and substance P. No significant changes were observed in phosphodiesterase activity in rat peritoneal mast cells treated with epinastine, while adenylate cyclase activity was augmented by epinastine. Epinastine has no inhibitory effect on histamine release induced by Ca2+ or IP3 from permeabilized mast cells. However, the drug significantly and dose-dependently suppressed calmodulin activity suggesting that histamine release inhibition due to epinastine may be partly attributable to Ca2+-calmodulin dependent process(es). The drug caused no visible changes in thermodynamic behavior of lipids, either in order parameter or in differential scanning calorimetry, indicating that the drug has no influence on membrane fluidity. 相似文献

Basophil Histamine Release in Cord Blood Regulatory Role of IgE 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Thirty-two cord blood samples were studied for histamine releasing capability by using a sensitive glass microfibre-based histamine analysis. Histamine was obtained after challenge with anti-IgE in 24 of the 32 samples. However, the net release in cord blood was only 25% of that in adult blood and no relationship was found between histamine release response, total IgE in cord plasma, and a family history of atopic diseases. The low histamine release in cord blood seemed to be associated with the immunological IgE receptor complex activation and not with an immature basic cell function, since the calcium ionophore A23187 which bypasses the receptor complex induced identical histamine release curves in cord and adult blood. Furthermore, when comparing the results of passive sensitization of basophils from new-born and adult persons, the new-born basophils possessed a significant fraction of free IgE receptors, whereas in adults most of the receptors were occupied by IgE. 相似文献
