Mast cells and basophils are important effector cells in immunoglobulin-E (IgE)-mediated allergic reactions. Using the human basophilic KU812F cells, we assessed the inhibitory effects of 6-methoxyluteolin, isolated from Chrysanthemum zawadskii, in the FcεRI-mediated allergic reaction. We determined that 6-methoxyluteolin inhibited anti-FcεRI α chain antibody (CRA-1)-induced histamine release, as well as elevation of intracellular calcium concentration [Ca2+]i in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, the inhibitory effects of 6-methoxyluteolin on the cell surface expression and the mRNA level of the FcεRI α chain were determined by flow cytometric analysis and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR), respectively. Therefore, these results show that 6- methoxyluteolin is a potent inhibitor of histamine release and calcium influx via down-regulation of the FcεRI α chain.
肥大细胞和嗜碱性粒细胞是免疫球蛋白-E(IgE)介导的过敏反应中的重要效应细胞。我们使用人嗜碱性粒细胞 KU812F 细胞,评估了从菊苣中分离得到的 6-甲氧基木犀草素在 FcεRI 介导的过敏反应中的抑制作用。我们发现 6-甲氧基木犀草素能够抑制抗 FcεRIα链抗体(CRA-1)诱导的组胺释放,以及细胞内钙离子浓度 [Ca2+]i 的升高,且呈剂量依赖性。此外,我们通过流式细胞术分析和逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)分别确定了 6-甲氧基木犀草素对 FcεRIα链的细胞表面表达和 mRNA 水平的抑制作用。因此,这些结果表明 6-甲氧基木犀草素是一种通过下调 FcεRIα链来抑制组胺释放和钙内流的有效抑制剂。
