The influence of Na+ ions on histamine secretion from mast cells induced by NGF or compound 48/80

Mateja Stempelj et al. Cell Mol Biol Lett. 2002.

Abstract

It has been demonstrated that the release of histamine from mast cells by cytokines is strongly dependent on extracellular Ca2+ and Na+ ions. The results of our current research indicate that the removal of extracellular Na+ enhances NGF induced histamine release, but reduces induction by compound 48/80, suggesting that different mechanisms are involved in the secretory process induced by these agents.
