PG - 227-35 AB - In rat basophilic leukemia 2H3 (RBL-2H3) cells, mAb AA4 binds to two derivatives of ganglioside GD1b that associate with the Src family kinase p53/56lyn and a serine kinase. Pre-incubation of cells with mAb AA4 blocks immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated histamine release. In the present study we investigated the effect of incubation with mAb AA4 on signal transduction events. In addition to stimulation of the high affinity IgE receptor (Fc epsilonRI), cells were also activated by the calcium ionophore A23187 and the acetylcholine agonist carbachol in RBL-2H3 cells transfected with the G protein-coupled m3 muscarinic receptor. Incubation of cells with mAb AA4 in a dose-dependent manner inhibited the following Fc epsilonRI-induced signal transduction events: the increase of intracellular free calcium, phosphoinositol breakdown, tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins including the beta- of Fc epsilonRI and secretion. However, there was no inhibition of degranulation or of these biochemical events when cells were stimulated with calcium ionophore or activated via a G protein-coupled pathway. Our results demonstrate that mAb AA4 selectively blocks Fc epsilonRI-induced cell activation at a very early step upstream of receptor tyrosine phosphorylation. As mAb AA4 has previously been found to bind to gangliosides associated with Fc epsilonRI, inhibition of very early biochemical events may be due to interaction of mAb AA4 with the Fc epsilonRI induced signal transduction cascade at the receptor level.
