PG - 77-84 LID - 10.1080/08923973.2020.1861006 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Clozapine is one of the most widely used second-generation antipsychotics in clinic. However, allergy-like symptoms such as rash and angioedema have been reported frequently, and the mechanism is still not clear. Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor X2 (MRGPRX2) expressed on mast cells is a crucial receptor for drug induced pseudo-allergic reactions. Therefore, we explored whether the symptoms induced by clozapine were associated with allergic reaction through MRGPRX2. METHODS: The effects of clozapine on pseudo-allergic reactions were evaluated by mast cells degranulation and calcium mobilization assay in vitro, and mice hindpaw swelling, serum histamine detection, avidin and H&E staining assay in vivo. The overexpressed MRGPRX2 cells membrane chromatography (MRGPRX2-HEK293/CMC), MRGPRX2-HEK293 cells calcium mobilization assay and molecular docking were applied to research the correlation between clozapine and MRGPRX2. RESULTS: The study showed that clozapine induced the release of beta-hexosaminidase, histamine and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and trigged calcium mobilization in mast cells. In vivo, clozapine induced paw swelling, degranulation and vasodilation. Furthermore, clozapine could activate the calcium mobilization obviously in MRGPRX2-HEK293 cells, not in NC-HEK293 cells. Clozapine also had a good retention characteristic on MRGPRX2-HEK293/CMC column and the K (D) value is (2.33 +/- 0.21)x10(-01)M. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings demonstrated that clozapine could induce pseudo-allergic reactions and MRGPRX2 might be the critical receptor for it.
