Induction of Mast-Cell Accumulation by Promutoxin, an Arg-49 PhospholipaseA2

Abstract: Local inflammation is a prominent characteristic of snakebite wound, and snake-venom phospholipase A2s (PLA2s) are some of the main component that contribute to accumulation of inflammatory cells. However, the action of an R49 PLA2s, promutoxin from Protobothrops mucrosquamatus venom, on mast-cell accumulation has not been previously examined. Using a mouse peritoneal model, we found that promutoxin can induce approximately-6-fold increase in mast-cell accumulation, and the response lasts at least for 16 h. Th… Show more

“…However, an indirect effect of MLV on mast cells via secondary degranulating agents cannot be ruled out since there are reports that substance P can induce in vivo and in vitro mast cell degranulation, resulting in the local release of vasoactive amines [ 42 , 52 , 53 ]. While venoms of various genera and families have been reported to degranulate mast cells [ 22 24 , 54 , 55 ], this is the first time that mast cells have been shown to be targets of Micrurus sp venom.…”

“…Estes fatos reforçam a relevância das fosfolipases A 2 para o efeito inflamatório desses venenos. As sFLA 2 s de serpentes contribuem também para a regulação das respostas imunológicas e inflamatórias, dada a sua capacidade de aumentar a atividade fagocítica e microbicida de macrófagos, induzir a maturação de células dendríticas e de mastócitos e causar a desgranulação e o recrutamento de mastócitos (LANDUCCI et al, 1998;RAMONER et al, 2005;TAKETOMI et al, 2013;WEI et al, 2009WEI et al, , 2013ZULIANI et al, 2005 (DÍAZ et al, 1995;FRANCIS et al, 1991;GUTIÉRREZ et al,1984;KAISER et al, 1990;LIZANO et al, 2001;GUTIÉRREZ,1989).…”

“…Além destes, recentemente, foi demonstrado que duas isoformas de sFLA 2 , do veneno da serpente asiática Protobothrops mucrosquamatus, as quais contém uma asparagina ou uma arginina na posição 49, induziram a desgranulação dos mastócitos, a formação de edema eo recrutamento e acúmulo destas células no local da sua injeção. Este efeito foi dependente da histamina, do PAF e das moléculas de adesão ICAM-1 ("Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1" ou CD57), CD18 e da CD11a (WEI et al, 2009(WEI et al, , 2010a(WEI et al, , 2010b(WEI et al, , 2013 A linhagem de mastócitos RBL-2H3 ("Rat Basophilic Leukemia"), foi escolhida no presenteestudo pelo seu rápido crescimento celular, fácil manutenção e por ser considerada um excelente modelo experimental para avaliação de diversos aspectos funcionais, dentre eles, a sinalização intracelular (FUNABA et al, 2003;TKACZYK, 2006;IKAWATI et al, 2001;ORTEGA et al, 2003;RASHID et al, 2012). Estas células foram obtidas a partir de células leucêmicas, coletadas de ratos injetados com o β-cloretinamina, um composto químico carcinogênico (BARSUMIAN et al, 1981;SIRAGANIAN et al, 1975).…”
