The palm fruit acai is known to have potential health benefits due to its antioxidant scavenging capacities. Pretreatment of IgE-sensitized mouse primary cultured mast cells with acai pulp resulted in the dramatic suppression of antigen-induced degranulation in a dose-dependent manner. Similarly, acai suppressed IgE-mediated degranulation and transcription of the cytokine genes from a cultured mast cell line of rat basophilic leukemia (RBL)-2H3 cells. Acai could selectively inhibit Fc epsilon RI signaling pathways. Furthermore, the Fc epsilon RI-mediated complementary signaling pathway was also suppressed by acai. These results demonstrate that acai is a potent inhibitor of IgE-mediated mast cell activation.
