Rat peritoneal mast cells were sensitized with IgE and challenged with the specific antigen in the presence of lysophosphatidylserine (lysoPS), an essential co-factor for rodent connective tissue mast cell degranulation, and the effects of phospholipase A2 inhibitors were examined. Mepacrine, a known inhibitor of phospholipase A2, at concentrations below 10(-5) M and anti-rat 14-kDa group II phospholipase A2 antibody inhibited histamine release, while they did not affect the prostaglandin generation. Like histamine release, prostaglandin generation in IgE- and antigen- challenged rat peritoneal mast cells was dependent on the presence of lysoPS. These results indicate that 14-kDa group II phospholipase A2 may play an essential role in IgE-, antigen-, and lysoPS-dependent degranulation process of rat peritoneal mast cells and that the mechanism whereby it participates may not be due to the production of lysoPS from PS in mast cell membranes.
