    Notes: Abstract Irinotecan (CPT-11) is active against a broad range of human cancer. One of the side-effects of irinotecan is a strong diarrhoea. In order to investigate the mechanism underlying this diarrhoea, the effect of irinotecan on anion secretion across the isolated rat distal colon was studied. Irinotecan caused a concentration-dependent increase in short-circuit current (Isc). The increase in Isc was completely dependent on the presence of Cl− ions and was supressed by furosemide and the Cl− channel blocker NPPB (5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoate), indicating that it is caused by a Cl− secretion. The secretory response was inhibited by indomethacin, 1-benzylimidazole, a thromboxane synthase inhibitor, and SK&F 88046 ((N,N′bis-[7-(3-Chlorobenzeneaminosulfonyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolyl)disulfonylimide), a thromboxane A2 receptor blocker. In isolated crypts irinotecan had no effect on the membrane potential. Consequently, the secretion induced by irinotecan is an indirect one, caused by the stimulation of eicosanoid production, e.g. thromboxane A2, in the subepithelial tissue.

    Notes: Abstract We investigated the effects of glucocorticoids on IL-3-dependent proliferation and c-kit expression of cells of the mouse mast cell line, MC/9. Glucocorticoids (dexamethasone, prednisolone, and hydrocortisone) inhibited IL-3-dependent MC/9 cell proliferation, whereas sex steroids (progesterone, β-estradiol, and testosterone) had no effect. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that glucocorticoids reduced the expression of the IL-3 receptor on MC/9 cells. Immunoblot and Northern blot analyses indicated that glucocorticoids also reduced the expression of both c-kit protein and c-kit mRNA transcript. Furthermore, the adhesion of MC/9 cells to stem cell factor-expressing NIH/3T3 cells was reduced following glucocorticoid treatment. Our results indicate that glucocorticoids inhibit IL-3-dependent MC/9 mast cell proliferation, with an accompanying decrease in IL-3 receptor expression. Glucocorticoids also reduced c-kit expression on MC/9 cells resulting in a decreased adhesion to NIH/3T3 fibroblasts.
