Phospholipase A/sub 2/ stimulation during cell secretion in rat basophilic leukemia cells

;
The bridging of IgE receptors on rat basophilic leukemia cells (RBL-2H3) results in a number of biochemical events that accompany histamine secretion. Prominent among these is the release of arachidonic acid from cellular phospholipids, which could be due to the activation of phospholipase enzymes. In the present experiments they studied the intracellular activation of phospholipase A/sub 2/ (PLA/sub 2/) during histamine release. The enzyme in the homogenates was capable of cleaving arachidonic acid from different phospholipids. The production of lysophospholipids could play a critical role in histamine release from cells. These results demonstrate the activation of PLA/sub 2/ enzyme in cellular homogenates during the secretory process.
