The activation of mast cells by immunoglobulin E-mediated stimuli is considered as a central event in allergic responses. In this regard, chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) of two different molecular weight ranges (1-3 kDa and 3-5 kDa) were investigated for their capabilities against the activation of RBL-2H3 mast cell sensitized with dinitrophenyl-specific immunoglobulin E antibody and stimulated by antigen dinitrophenyl-bovine serum albumin. It was found that COS significantly inhibited RBL-2H3 cell degranulation via attenuating the releases of histamine and beta-hexosaminidase. Moreover, the inhibitory activity of COS was accompanied by a reduction in intracellular Ca2+ elevation. Notably, the expression of immunoglobulin Fc epsilon receptor I (Fc epsilon RI) in RBL-2H3 cells was down-regulated by COS treatment in a dose-dependent manner. The suppressive effect of COS on RBL-2H3 cell activation suggested that COS may be potential candidates of novel inhibitors against allergic reactions. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
