Mast cells play important roles in allergic inflammation by secreting various mediators. In the present study, based on the finding that the medium conditioned by activated RBL-2H3 mast cells enhanced the nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced neuritogenesis of PC12 cells, we attempted to isolate an active compound from the mast cell conditioned culture medium. Our experiment identified 15-deoxy-Δ 12,14 -PGJ 2  (15d-PGJ 2 ), one of the PGD 2  metabolites, as a potential enhancer of neuritogenesis. 15d-PGJ 2  strongly enhanced the neuritogenesis elicited by a low-concentration of NGF that alone was insufficient to induce the neuronal differentiation. This 15d-PGJ 2  effect was exerted in a Ca 2+ -dependent manner, but independently of the NGF receptor TrkA. Importantly, 15d-PGJ 2  activated the transient receptor potential vanilloid-type 1 (TRPV1), a non-selective cation channel, leading to the Ca 2+  influx. In addition, we observed that (i) NGF promoted the insertion of TRPV1 into the cell surface membrane and (ii) 15d-PGJ 2  covalently bound to TRPV1. These findings suggest that the NGF/15d-PGJ 2 -induced neuritogenesis may be regulated by two sets of mechanisms, one for the translocation of TRPV1 into the cell surface by NGF and one for the activation of TRPV1 by 15d-PGJ 2 . Thus, there is most likely a link between allergic inflammation and activation of the neuronal differentiation.
