Abstract

Pretreatment of rat peritoneal mast cells with either Staurosporine or an analog K-252a, lead to a dose-related inhibition of histamine release when stimulated with Anti-IgE (IC50: Staurosporine = 110 nM; K-252a = 100 nM). In contrast, the two PKC inhibitors (1-1000 nM) failed to inhibit histamine release induced by compound 48/80 (0.5-1 micrograms/ml). Exposure of Anti-Asc-IgE sensitized mouse bone marrow derived mast cells to Asc-BSA lead to the release of both histamine (510 ng +/- 12.6 ng/10(6) cells) and immunoreactive Leukotriene C4 (27.0 +/- 12.6 ng/10(6) cells). LTC4 release was inhibited by Staurosporine and K-252a with an IC50 of 75 nM for both compounds. Pretreatment of rat peritoneal mast cells with PMA 100 nM lead to a small but significant release of histamine (18.3 +/- 3.6%). Pretreatment of these cells with K-252a or Staurosporine lead to a dose related inhibition of histamine release with an ED50 of 10 nM for Staurosporine and 60 nM for K-252a. Treatment of rat peritoneal mast cells with the calcium ionophore A23187 lead to a significant release of histamine which was not inhibited by either of the two kinase inhibitors (0.1-1000 nM). The two kinase inhibitors also inhibited mouse bone marrow derived mast cell ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
