The aim of the study was to analyse the effect of interleukin-4 (IL-4) on allergen and anti-IgE mediated histamine release from basophils and human skin mast cells and to assess whether soluble recombinant interleukin-4 receptor (sIL4R) can inhibit these effects. Anti-IgE stimulated histamine release from peripheral blood basophils and mast cells of atopic donors was enhanced after preincubation with IL-4, whereas after preincubation with sIL-4R it was inhibited. These effects were even more pronounced when samples were stimulated with a clinically relevant allergen. In IL-4 preincubated skin mast cells, there was a similar enhancement of anti-IgE stimulated histamine release, which could again be inhibited by sIL-4R. The effects of IL-4 and sIL4R were dose- and time-dependent. Mice sensitized to ovalbumin and treated with soluble recombinant murine sIL-4R showed significantly reduced immediate-type cutaneous hypersensitivity responses compared with untreated mice. Thesein vivoeffects were IgE independent, since there were no significant differences in total and allergen specific IgE/IgG1 antibody titres between treated and untreated mice. This indicates that IL4 exerts priming effects on histamine release by effector cells of the allergic response and that these effects are potently antagonized by soluble IL-4R bothin vitroandin vivo.

BACKGROUND and aim: Morphine co-injection has anti-inflammatory effects on zymosan-induced peritonitis in several strains of mice except that of CBA. As peritoneal mast cells (pMCs) are much more numerous in CBA mice than in SWISS mice, the role of pMCs in morphine-modulated zymosan peritonitis is compared in CBA and SWISS males.Methods: pMCs were treatedin vitrowith morphine or C48/80 for comparison of histamine release.In vivoaccumulation of leukocytes and histamine in peritoneal exudate were recorded after intraperitoneal injection with morphine, zymosan, or zymosan plus morphine.Results and conclusion: Morphine induces histamine release by pMCs from CBA mice but not SWISS mice.In vivomorphine-induced peritonitis is stronger in CBA mice than SWISS mice. Corollary, morphine anti-inflammatory effects on zymosan peritonitis are reversed in CBA mice by its pro-inflammatory action through CBA pMCs.

Antiflammin-2 (AF2) is a nonapeptide corresponding to the amino acid residues 246–254 of lipocortin-1 showing anti-inflammatory activity both in vitro and in vivo. The effect of AF2 on the thromboxane B2(TXB2) and histamine release from isolated and perfused guinea-pig lungs has been studied. AF-2 (10–100 nM) inhibited leukotriene C4- (LTC4) (3 ng) and antigen-induced (ovalbumin, 1 mg) TXB2release in normal and sensitized lungs, respectively. In contrast AF-2 (100 nM) did not modify TXB2release induced by histamine (5 μg) or bradykinin (5 μg) in normal lungs. Antigen-induced histamine release was not affected by 100 nM AF-2 infusion. When tested in chopped lung fragments AF-2 (0.1–25 μM) did not modify the release of histamine and TXB2induced by antigen (ovalbumin, 10 μg ml−1) or calcium ionophore A 23187 (1 μM). Our results show that the inhibitory effect of AF-2 on TXB2release is selective and depends on the stimulus applied. In this respect AF-2 mimics, at least in part, the actions of both glucocorticoids and lipocortin-1.
