Using rat mast cells permeabilized with streptolysin O we show that release of arachidonate generally occurs under similar but not identical conditions to those that cause exocytosis of beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (hexosaminidase). Thus, hexosaminidase secretion and arachidonate release both require provision of Ca2+ together with a guanine nucleotide but exocytosis occurs at lower concentrations of both effectors. The kinetics of both processes are similar, with a delay in onset only when ATP is present. Arachidonate release occurs largely from a pool of arachidonyl phosphatidylcholine which appears to represent less than 1% of the total phosphatidylcholine of the cells. Despite the general similarity of the conditions causing exocytosis and arachidonate release, our results show that under some circumstances it is possible to obtain exocytosis without measurable release of arachidonate and that therefore phospholipase A2 activation is not an essential precursor of secretion.

This study addresses the question of the role of cytoplasmic proteins in exocytosis from permeabilised rat mast cells. We have used two different methods of cell permeabilisation (ATP4- and streptolysin O) to regulate the size of the plasma membrane lesions, and thus to dictate the rate and extent of efflux of the cytosolic proteins, and compared the secretory response of the two preparations. We report evidence for the existence of two factors present in the cytosol, which affect the exocytotic mechanism in opposing manners. One of these is required for the maintenance of cell responsiveness; it is retained for more than 120 min by ATP4- -permeabilised cells but lost within 60 min from cells permeabilised by streptolysin O. The other factor, which leaks immediately from cells treated from streptolysin O, but only gradually from cells treated with ATP4-, has the effect of suppressing the affinity for both Ca2+ and guanine nucleotide in the exocytotic reaction.

Rat Mast Cells

Rat mast cells, pretreated with metabolic inhibitors and permeabilized by streptolysin-O, secrete histamine when provided with Ca2+ (buffered in the micromolar range) and nucleoside triphosphates. We have surveyed the ability of various exogenous nucleotides to support or inhibit secretion. The preferred rank order in support of secretion is ITP greater than XTP greater than GTP much greater than ATP. Pyrimidine nucleotides (UTP and CTP) are without effect. Nucleoside diphosphates included alongside Ca2+ plus ITP inhibit secretion in the order 2'-deoxyGDP greater than GDP greater than o-GDP greater than ADP approximately equal to 2'deoxyADP approximately equal to IDP. Secretion from the metabolically inhibited and permeabilized cells can also be induced by stable analogues of GTP (GTP-gamma-S greater than GppNHp greater than GppCH2p) which synergize with Ca2+ to trigger secretion in the absence of phosphorylating nucleotides. ATP enhances the effective affinity for Ca2+ and GTP analogues in the exocytotic process but does not alter the maximum extent of secretion. The results suggest that the presence of Ca2+ combined with activation of events controlled by a GTP regulatory protein provide a sufficient stimulus to exocytotic secretion from mast cells.

Mast cells permeabilized by streptolysin O secrete histamine and lysosomal enzymes in response to provision of a dual effector system comprising Ca2+ and a guanine nucleotide (e.g., GTP-gamma-S2) at concentrations in the micromolar range. These are both necessary and together they are sufficient. There is no requirement for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and hence no obligatory phosphorylation reaction in the terminal stages of the exocytotic pathway. When exocytosis is induced by Ca2(+)-plus-GTP-gamma-S (i.e., no ATP) added at times after permeabilization (the permeabilization interval), cellular responsiveness declines so that there is no response to provision of the two effectors (both at 10(-5)M) if they are initially withheld and then added after 5 min. Here we show that this decline in responsiveness is characterized by a time-dependent reduction in the effective affinity for Ca2+. Affinity for Ca2+ and hence secretory competence can then be restored if ATP is added alongside the stimulus. Unlike cells stimulated to secrete at the time of permeabilization, exocytosis from cells that have undergone the cycle of permeabilization-induced refractoriness followed by ATP-induced restoration can be triggered by Ca2+ alone: after such conditioning there is no requirement for guanine nucleotide. In contrast, dependence on guanine nucleotide remains mandatory in cells that have been pretreated (i.e., before permeabilization) with okadaic acid (understood to be an inhibitor of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A) or phorbol myristate acetate (an activator of protein kinase C). These results indicate that obligatory dependence on guanine nucleotide is retained when the cells are treated under conditions conducive to maintained phosphorylation. It is concluded that the exocytotic mechanism of permeabilized mast cells is enabled by a dephosphorylation reaction and that the effector of the guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding protein (G epsilon) that mediates exocytosis is likely to be a protein phosphate.

The effects of changes in the extracellular concentration of calcium on activation of rat mast cells by compound 48/80 were studied. The intracellular exchangeable Ca2+ pools at various concentrations of extracellular Ca2+ were determined by equilibration of the cells with 45Ca2+. The cells stimulated by compound 48/80 in the presence of 2.5 μM and 1.6 mM extracellular Ca2+ released comparable amounts of histamine. However, the intracellular Ca2+ pool was doubled in 2.5 μM Ca2+ and was increased sixfold in 1.6 mM Ca2+. In 14.4 mM extracellular Ca2+, there was neither release of histamine nor uptake of Ca2+ which suggested an impairment in activation. The kinetics of Ca2+ influx in the presence of 2.5 μM Ca2+ did not reveal intracellular mobilization of calcium. The cells activated in 1.6 mM Ca2+ at 0 °C when allowed to stand in 14.4 mM extracellular Ca2+ released decreased amounts of histamine upon warming to 37 °C. The inhibition of the release progressively increased with time of standing at 0 °C. The decrease in histamine release was not seen with the cells standing in 1.6 mM Ca2+ at 0 °C. The effect of 14.4 mM Ca2+ added prior to the challenge with compound 48/80 did not depend on the time of incubation. The data presented in this paper suggest that the high concentration of Ca2+ inhibits the histamine release from mast cells by interfering with membrane-associated phenomena.

Rat Mast Cells

Exocytosis from metabolically depleted permeabilized rat mast cells was measured in response to provision of Ca2+ and guanine nucleotide [GTP or guanosine 5′-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S])]. For cells permeabilized in simple salt solutions (NaCl), both of these effectors were required to induce secretion. Exclusion of Mg2+ caused an increase in both the sensitivity of the system to GTP and the extent of secretion elicited, while having no such effects on secretion induced by GTP[S]. The effect of Mg2+ depletion on the ability of GTP to stimulate secretion is probably due to the dependence on Mg2+ of the GTPase activity of GE (a postulated GTP-binding protein which mediates exocytosis). This argues that a persistent stimulus to the G-protein is required to support secretion. Affinity for both GTP[S] and GTP is enhanced when the cells are permeabilized in zwitterionic electrolytes (glutamate, gamma-aminobutyric acid, glycine) instead of NaCl. Under these conditions, secretion occurs in response to provision of either GTP[S] [in the effective absence of Ca2+ (pCa 9)] or Ca2+ (in the absence of guanine nucleotide). Secretion induced by GTP[S] is strongly promoted by the presence of Mg2+ at concentrations in the millimolar range; this promotion by Mg2+ declines as the concentration of Ca2+ is elevated towards pCa 7. At pCa 6, Mg2+ is without effect. Ca(2+)-induced secretion requires the provision of MgATP. Since this is further enhanced by low concentrations (< 100 microM) and then inhibited by high concentrations of GDP, the essential role of ATP is likely to be in the maintenance of GTP via transphosphorylation by a nucleoside diphosphate kinase reaction. Thus, under conditions of high affinity (glutamate environment), GTP[S] alone is capable of inducing exocytosis. Ca2+ acts in concert with guanine nucleotides: it enhances the rate and extent of secretion and increases the affinity for Mg2+ and guanine nucleotides in the activation of the GTP-binding protein (GE) which regulates exocytosis.

Rat Mast Cells

Most investigations of the mechanism of regulated exocytosis have involved the use of secretory cells permeabilized in glutamate-based electrolyte solutions. In our previous work we have used NaCl-based electrolyte solutions. For secretion to occur from rat mast cells under these latter conditions, a dual effector system comprising Ca2+ and a guanine nucleotide are required; together they are sufficient. Here we compare the secretion from mast cells permeabilized in solutions of different electrolytes. Replacement of Na+ by K+ had little effect. Replacement of Cl- by Br-, SO4-, gluconate, isethionate, acetate, tartrate, succinate, etc. affected the maximal extent of secretion elicited by the dual effectors Ca2+ and guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (Ca2(+)-plus-GTP-gamma-S) but had little influence on the effective affinity for Ca2+. The dicarboxylic amino acids (L- and D-glutamate, and L-aspartate) permitted exocytosis to be elicited by Ca2+ or GTP-gamma-S alone. Secretion stimulated by GTP-gamma-S is strongly inhibited by Cl- (50% inhibition by 20 mM Cl-), whereas the extent of Ca2(+)-induced secretion is proportional to the concentration of glutamate in mixed electrolyte buffers. Unlike dual-effector stimulation, secretion due to the single effectors requires adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and is prevented by inhibitors of protein kinase C. These results point to the existence of two parallel pathways for control of exocytosis in permeabilized cells, one ATP dependent, the other ATP independent.
