IgE-antigen-dependent crosslinking of the high affinity IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI) on mast cells leads to degranulation, leukotriene synthesis and cytokine production. Calcium (Ca(2+)) mobilization is a sine qua non requisite for degranulation, allowing the rapid secretion of stored pro-inflammatory mediators responsible for allergy symptoms. Fyn is a Src-family kinase that positively controls FcepsilonRI-induced mast cell degranulation. However, our understanding of the mechanism connecting Fyn activation to secretion of pre-synthesized mediators is very limited. We analyzed FcepsilonRI-dependent Ca(2+) mobilization in bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) differentiated from WT and Fyn -/- knock out mice. Fyn -/- BMMCs showed a marked defect in extracellular Ca(2+) influx after FcepsilonRI crosslinking but not after thapsigargin addition. High concentrations of Gadolinium (Gd(3+)) partially blocked FcepsilonRI-induced Ca(2+) influx in WT cells but, in contrast, completely inhibited Ca(2+) mobilization in Fyn -/- cells. Low concentrations of an inhibitor of the canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) Ca(2+) channels (2-aminoethoxyphenyl-borane, 2-APB) blocked FcepsilonRI-induced maximal Ca(2+) rise in WT but not in Fyn -/- cells. Ca(2+) entry through Fyn-controlled, 2-APB sensitive channels was found to be important for full degranulation and IL-2 mRNA accumulation in WT cells. Immunoprecipitation assays showed that Fyn kinase interacts with TRPC 3/6/7 channels after IgE-antigen stimulation, but its association is not related to protein tyrosine phosphorylation. Results indicate Fyn kinase mediates the receptor-dependent activation of TRPC channels that contribute to degranulation in FcepsilonRI-stimulated mast cells.
