ABSTRACT Human heart mast cells (HHMC) have been identified in heart tissue, perivascularly, and in the intima of coronary arteries. In vitro activation of isolated HHMC induces the release of vasoactive and proinflammatory mediators (histamine, tryptase, and cysteinyl leukotriene C4 [LTC4]). We investigated the effects of several bacterial proteins on HHMC activation in vitro. HHMC released histamine, tryptase, and LTC4 in response toStaphylococcus aureus Cowan 1 and the immunoglobulin (Ig)-binding protein A, but not to S. aureus Wood 46, which does not synthesize protein A. The effect of protein A was inhibited by preincubation with monoclonal IgM VH3+. Some strains of Peptostreptococcus magnus express an Ig light chain-binding surface protein called protein L. Such bacteria and soluble protein L stimulated the release of preformed and newly synthesized mediators from HHMC. Preincubation of HHMC with either protein A or protein L resulted in complete cross-desensitization to a subsequent challenge with the heterologous stimulus or anti-IgE. Monoclonal IgE (κ chains) blocked protein L-induced release, whereas IgE (λ chains) had no effect. Streptococcal protein G, formyl-containing tripeptide, and pepstatin A did not activate HHMC. Bacterial products protein A and protein L and intact bacteria (S. aureus and P. magnus) activate HHMC by acting as Ig superantigens.
