[en] The molecular mechanism of action of several non-immunological histamine releasers has been investigated using pertussis toxin which interfers, via ADP-ribosylation, with some G-proteins. Pertussis toxin (100 ng/ml) inhibited histamine release induced by compound 48/80, substance P, mastoparan, peptide 401, bradykinin and spermine showing that a G-protein sensitive to pertussis toxin was involved in the non-immunological histamine release. All these compounds directly activate purified G-proteins. The sensitivity to pertussis toxin of this direct stimulatory effect was demonstrated for compound 48/80, mastoparan and substance P. Altogether these results suggest that a direct activation of G-protein might be the molecular mechanism of action of histamine secretagogues acting through a pertussis toxin sensitive G-protein and in this way mimic agonist-ligand receptor interaction.
