Adenosine potentiates preformed mediator release from mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells stimulated with specific Ag or the calcium ionophore A23187. When these mast cells were cultured for 30 to 120 min with the phorbol ester PMA (10(-8) or 10(-7) M), protein kinase C activity was increased and Ag-stimulated beta-hexosaminidase release was modestly inhibited, whereas A23187-stimulated release was synergistically enhanced. However, in both cases, exogenous adenosine failed to augment beta-hexosaminidase release. Overnight PMA exposure produced a decrease in protein kinase C activity and a decrease in both Ag- and A23187-stimulated preformed mediator release, as well as a lack of responsiveness to adenosine. This hyporesponsiveness could be reversed by 24 h after washing the cells free of PMA. The generation of the arachidonic acid metabolite leukotriene C4 was not altered by mast cell PMA exposure. The ability of adenosine to increase intracellular cAMP concentrations was modestly blunted by high doses of PMA, and PMA abrogated the increase in intracellular free calcium levels usually observed in cells stimulated with Ag in the presence of 10(-5) M adenosine. PMA exposure induces a hyporesponsiveness to adenosine in mast cells, either by a direct effect on protein kinase C activity and/or by an effect on adenosine receptor expression or recycling.
