    Background
    

    Mast cells (MCs) are key effectors in allergic reactions, but are also involved in tissue remodeling, wound healing and protection against pathogens. MCs infiltrate tumors and their number within the tumor microenvironment in certain cancer types, such as lung cancer, have been correlated with poor prognosis. The nature of crosstalk between lung cancer and MCs remain poorly resolved. In this study, we investigated the activation patterns within the MCs following cell-to-cell contact with lung cancer cells showing CD73 involvement and implying metabolic changes.

    Human MCs (HMC-1 and LAD-2) were exposed to Human lung cancer cells (H1299), derived membranes to recapitulate cell contact mediated activation. Lysates of MCs were tested for protein expression and posttranslational modifications (i.e. phosphorylation) by targeted western blotting. We unraveled the intracellular signaling molecules that are necessary for this signaling pathway by a pharmacological approach using several inhibitors. Each condition was repeated at least twice.

    H1299 membrane exposure activated the ERK 1/2 MAP kinases in HMC-1 and in LAD-2 cells. AKT signaling was also activated in LAD-2 cells as a result of this contact. CD73 dephosphorylates AMP to adenosine within the MCs. Interestingly enough, this ERK 1/2 activation was inhibited by CD73 inhibitor and A3 receptor antagonists in HMC-1 cells. ERK 1/2 activation was inhibited by A3 receptor antagonists and PI3K in LAD-2 cells. Furthermore, we discovered that protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor augments the activation of ERK 1/2 in LAD-2 cells. In contrast, PKC inhibitor inhibits the activation of ERK 1/2 in HMC-1 cells. In addition, we discovered that the AKT activation was inhibited by A3 receptor and PI3K inhibitors but not by CD 73 inhibitors.

    Our results suggest that H1299 membranes activate ERK 1/2 in HMC-1 cells by a mechanism that involves autocrine formation of adenosine and is mediated by CD 73 and A3 receptor. In addition, we discovered that there is an important difference between the ERK 1/2 MAP kinase signal transduction in HMC-1 and LAD-2 cells, PKC is an inhibitor of the H1299 activation of ERK 1/2 in LAD-2 cells. In contrast, the H1299 membrane activation of ERK 1/2 kinase in HMC-1 cells is mediated by PKC. Furthermore, we can conclude that H1299 membranes activate AKT in an A3 receptor dependent mechanism that is mediated by PI3K.
