Signal Transduction by IgG Receptors Induces Calcium Mobilization, but not Histamine Release, in the Human Basophilic Cell Line KU812F

Abstract: Human blood basophils selectively express FcγRII (CDw32) among IgG receptor subtypes, but its functional role in allergic reactions remains unknown. Using the human basophilic leukemia cell line KU812F as a model system, we investigated cellular signaling events mediated through IgG receptor stimulation. KU812F cells express FcγRII on their surface. mRNAs for both FcγRIIA and IIB subtypes were detected by reverse transcriptase-PCR analysis. In this cell line, FcγRII stimulation induced mobilization of free int… Show more

“…We have reported previously that both KU812F cells and human peripheral blood basophils induce intracellular signaling events, such as calcium mobilization, following FcγRII cross‐linking 6 . The data presented here clearly show that tyrosine phosphorylation is necessary for the signaling pathway via FcγRII and tyrosine phosphorylation of Lyn, Syk and PLC‐γ1, at least, is actively involved in this signal transduction.…”

“…Intracellular calcium measurements were performed according to the method described previously 6 . Briefly, KU812F cells were resuspended in Hanks’ balanced salt solution (HBSS), without calcium and magnesium, containing 0.01 mol/L EDTA (Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA) and 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA; Sigma).…”

“…RBL-2H3 cells [14]or human basophils [15]did not bind monomeric IgG but bound aggregated IgG, indicating they had only low-affinity IgG receptors. [Ca 2+ ] i elevation and actin polymerization in a human basophilic cell line KU812F were induced by aggregated IgG stimulation [16], which is thought to be mediated via FcγRIIA.…”
