摘要：Bone marrow-derived mast cells, differentiated in vitro, demonstrate surface IgE, receptors and contain histamine in metachromatic granules, which are composed of chondroitin sulfate E proteoglycan rather than heparin proteoglycan. Activation of this subclass of mast cells with calcium ionophore A23187 resulted in generation of immunoreactive C-6-sulfidopeptide leukotriene in a dose- and time-dependent fashion. Isolation of immunoreactive C-6-sulfldopeptide leukotriene by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) revealed a retention time and a specific biologic activity identical to those of synthetic leukotriene C4 (LTC4). Neither radiolabeled nor immunoreactive conversion products of [3H]LTC4/LTC4 were recognized during RP-HPLC resolution of the supernatants. The failure of fresh bone marrow cultures to generate C-6-sulfidopeptide leukotriene in response to ionophore indicates that leukotriene generation is dependent upon cellular differentiation into a mast cell population. The amount of LTC4 generated during optimal ionophore stimulation, 90.9 +/- 7.5 ng per 10(6) cells, contrasts with the relatively low amounts of C-6-sulfidopeptide leukotriene generated by the conventional heparin-containing rat mast cells or mouse mastocytoma cells.
