Curine inhibits mast cell-dependent responses in mice

Abstract: Curine significantly inhibited immediate allergic reactions through mechanisms more related to mast cell stabilization and activation inhibition than interference with the pro-inflammatory effects of mast cell products. These findings are in line with the hypothesis that the alkaloid curine may be beneficial for the treatment of allergic disorders.

“…The fact that SFBA decreased the expression of IL-31 in the mice skin pushed us to investigate the effects of SFBA on scratching behavior in mice subcutaneously administered with compound 48/80. Compound 48/80 activates mast cells in mice skin to release not only histamine but also other mediators including IL-31, which directly activate nerve fibers, thus inducing itch [29]. Compound 48/80 in this study indeed increased mast cell infiltration and degranulation as evidenced by the increase in the expression of tryptase, and increased the expression of IL-31 in the skin of the mice.…”

“…Wistar rat basophilic cell lineage (RBL-2H3) was kept at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO 2 : 95% air atmosphere in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM), supplemented with 15% fetal bovine serum, penicillin 100 U/ml, and streptomycin 0.1 mg/ml as reported (39). The cells were sensitized with IgE anti-DNP antibody (1 µg/ml) at 37°C for 20 h in a humidified 5% CO 2 : 95% air atmosphere.…”

“…The OVA-induced systemic anaphylaxis model is appropriate for the investigation of the anti-allergic inflammatory effects of drug candidates [9]. After challenges of OVA, mice repetitively sensitized with OVA and alum adjuvant developed anaphylaxis and were monitored for 1 h. The rectal temperature of the mice decreased over 40–50 min; administration of tyrosol alleviated this hypothermia, which was associated with the serum histamine level (Fig 1A).…”

“…Rat basophilic leukemia (RBL)-2H3 cells are suitable for in vitro studies of mast cell-mediated allergic inflammation involving the degranulation and expression of inflammatory cytokines [8]. Ovalbumin (OVA)-induced active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA) and IgE-mediated passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) are well-characterized animal models for immediate-type hypersensitivity [9,10]. …”
