In rat basophilic leukemia cells (2H3), a tumor analog of mast cells, the aggregation of IgE receptors results in histamine secretion and the increase in histidine decarboxylase activity which synthesizes histamine. Using inhibitors of protein kinases C, we studied the relationships between these events and protein kinase C which is activated by antigens. Histamine release is suppressed by inhibitors of protein kinase C, staurosporine, K252-a and H-7, in this decreasing order of effectiveness; and the IC50 values are 1.5 nM, 29.9 nM and 3.8 microM, respectively. The changes in the intracellular Ca concentration monitored by fura-2 fluorescence is not modified by staurosporine, although the histamine response is suppressed. Meanwhile, the increase of histidine decarboxylase was abolished by inhibitors of protein kinase C; staurosporine was the strongest, K-252a of moderate activity and H-7, the weakest, having IC50 values of 0.8 nM, 100 nM and 11.5 microM, respectively. The inhibitors of protein kinase C suppress both histamine secretion and synthesis. Therefore, the histamine synthesis may be stimulated via activation of protein kinase C to supplement the released histamine.
