Abstract
  • Rat uterine tissue was dissociated by enzymatic digestion with collagenase and viable mast cells were obtained. Their viability was assessed by the ability to exclude trypan blue dye and to respond functionally to different stimuli. Challenge with anti-IgE gave a calcium-dependent histamine release of 49%, whilst the undigested uterine fragments gave 23%. Moreover, they were capable of releasing histamine on challenge with the compound 48/80, suggesting a similarity with connective tissue mast cells. This similarity was further supported by their insensitivity to aldehyde blocking of dye binding. The final dispersed cell preparation contained 3 X 10(5) mast cells/g of uterine tissue, representing about 2% of total nucleated cells. The total histamine content of the undigested uterus was 2.5 micrograms/g of tissue, whilst after digestion the histamine determined was 1.2 pg per mast cell with a yield of 14%. The total histamine content of the uterus changed throughout the reproductive cycle, increasing before ovulation, reaching a maximum during ovulation and then decreasing after embryo implantation. This suggests that the implanting embryo, interacting with the uterus, may be capable of inducing the release of histamine. The embryo-derived histamine releasing factor (EHRF) that we have described previously is capable of inducing 22% histamine-release on uterine mast cells, thus supporting this hypothesis. (literal)
