BACKGROUND: There are controversial reports on the effect of sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na+-K+ ATPase) inhibition on mast cell mediator release. Some of them have indicated that ouabain (strophanthin G), a specific Na+-K+ ATPase inhibitor, inhibited the release, whereas the others have shown that ouabain had no effect or even had a stimulatory effect on the mediator secretion. Most of these studies have utilized animal-derived mast cells. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Na+-K+ ATPase inhibition on human skin mast cells. METHODS: Unpurified and purified mast cells were obtained from newborn foreskins and stimulated by calcium ionophore A23187 (1 microM) for 30 min following a 1 hr incubation with various concentrations (10(-4) to 10(-8) M) of ouabain. Histamine release was assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS: The results indicated that ouabain had no significant effect on the non-immunologic histamine release from human skin mast cells, in vitro. CONCLUSIONS: Na+-K+ ATPase inhibition by ouabain had no significant effect on the non-immunologic histamine release from human cutaneous mast cells and suggested differences between human and animal mast cells.
