We investigated the effect of the gall of Rhus javanica (GRJ) on the model of the immediate-type allergic reaction, and studied its possible mechanisms. GRJ inhibited compound 48/80-induced systemic reactions in mice. GRJ attenuated immunoglobulin (Ig) E-mediated local allergic reactions. In addition, GRJ dose dependently decreased histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells activated by compound 48/80 or IgE. The decreasing effect of GRJ on the histamine release was mediated by the modulation of cAMP and [Ca2+]i in mast cells. Furthermore, GRJ decreased the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate plus calcium ionophore A23187-stimulated TNF-alpha and IL-6 secretion in human mast cells. The inhibitory effect of GRJ on the pro-inflammatory cytokine was c-Jun N-terminal kinase and nuclear factor-kappaB dependent. Our findings provide evidence that GRJ inhibits mast cell-derived immediate-type allergic reactions, and suggest the possible mechanisms of action.
