Abstract: | The major house-dust-mite allergen, Der p I, stimulates the phospholipase D (PLD) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from allergic patients with maximal responses after 30 min exposure. At 30 min, Der p I stimulated PLD activity by 1.4-fold in mild, 1.6-fold in moderate and 2-fold in severe allergic patients over control values (p < 0.05). When the cells were pretreated for 24 h with phorbol myristate acetate to down-regulate protein kinase C (PKC), PLD stimulation by Der p I was largely abolished. These results indicate that in PBMC from allergic patients, Der p I can stimulate PLD activity, and that PKC activation is involved in this stimulation. |
