Compound 48/80-induced β-hexosaminidase release from untreated mast cells were no different from those of TAK-242 pre-treated mast cells, suggesting that TLR4 does not influence 48/80-mediated mast cell degranulation. Bar graph represents percentage of β-hexosaminidase release from murine mast cells following treatments with different concentrations of TAK-242 (50 nM, 500 nM, and 1000 nM) 1 h prior to compound 48/80 (10 μg/ml), N = 8. ***P < 0.001 as compared to PBS. ns: non-significant as compared to compound 48/80 treated group; PBS: phosphate-buffered saline.
