Histamine is an important allergic mediator, and studies have defined roles for both histamine 1 and 4 receptors in allergic airway inflammation. In this study, we show that histamine is necessary to generate IL-4-driven eosinophilic inflammation, as histamine-deficient mice cannot generate eosinophilic lung inflammation in response to intratracheal IL-4 and exogenous histamine restores responsiveness. This is histamine 2 receptor (H2R) dependent because H2R knockout mice fail to respond to IL-4, and a H2R agonist restores inflammation in histidine decarboxylase knockout. Furthermore, alveolar epithelial cells require H2R to produce CCL24, an eosinophil recruitment factor, whereas H2R blockade reduces CCL24 production from wild-type cells. In an allergic inflammation model, H2R knockout mice show significantly reduced eosinophilic inflammation and CCL24 expression. These data demonstrate a previously unidentified role for H2R in allergic inflammation and establishes a synergy between endogenous histamine and IL-4 that supports eosinophilic recruitment to the lung. 相似文献

Histamine is an important inflammatory mediator that is released in airways during an asthmatic response. However, current antihistamine drugs are not effective in controlling the disease. The discovery of the histamine H4 receptor (H4R) prompted us to reinvestigate the role of histamine in pulmonary allergic responses. H4R-deficient mice and mice treated with H4R antagonists exhibited decreased allergic lung inflammation, with decreases in infiltrating lung eosinophils and lymphocytes and decreases in Th2 responses. Ex vivo restimulation of T cells showed decreases in IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-6, and IL-17 levels, suggesting that T cell functions were disrupted. In vitro studies indicated that blockade of the H4R on dendritic cells leads to decreases in cytokine and chemokine production and limits their ability to induce Th2 responses in T cells. This work suggests that the H4R can modulate allergic responses via its influence on T cell activation. The study expands the known influences of histamine on the immune system and highlights the therapeutic potential of H4R antagonists in allergic conditions. 相似文献

The formation of lung metastases by i.v.-injected B16 melanoma (F1 and F10 strain) cells in Swiss albino, C57BL/6, and BALB/c mice was reduced by a single dose of histamine given 24 h before tumor cell inoculation. The antimetastatic effect of histamine was specifically mediated by histamine H2-receptors (H2R): it was blocked by the H2R antagonist ranitidine and mimicked by dimaprit, a specific H2R agonist but not by an H2R-inactive structural analog of this compound, nor-dimaprit, or the H1R agonist 2-thiazolyl-ethylamide. A single dose of any of the H2R antagonists ranitidine, tiotidine, famotidine, or cimetidine drastically augmented metastasis. Effects of H2R-interactive compounds on B16 metastasis required intact NK cells, as judged by the inability of histamine or ranitidine to affect B16 metastasis after NK cell depletion in vivo using antibodies to asialo-GM1. NK-cell-mediated lysis of YAC-1 lymphoma cells in vivo was enhanced by histamine and reduced by ranitidine within 4 h after inoculation of tumor cells. The antimetastatic effect of IL-2 was potentiated by histamine; in some experiments, combined treatment with a low dose of IL-2 (6000 U/kg) and histamine completely eliminated metastasis, whereas concomitant treatment with ranitidine abrogated antimetastatic effects of IL-2; animals treated with ranitidine and IL-2 displayed the same level of enhanced metastasis as those treated with ranitidine alone. The presented data are suggestive of an earlier unrecognized role for histamine in NK cell-mediated resistance against metastatic tumor cells. 相似文献

Cyclic AMP directly inhibits IL-2 receptor expression in human T cells: expression of both p55 and p75 subunits is affected. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Using purified human T lymphocytes stimulated in serum-free media with adhered anti-CD3 + exogenous IL-2, we have shown that elevated [cAMP]i (mimicked by CPT-cAMP or induced by the physiological agonist PGE2) directly inhibits mitogen-induced 1) [3H]thymidine incorporation by PBMC, purified T cells, and isolated CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subpopulations; 2) expression of both high- and low-affinity IL-2 receptors; 3) plasma membrane expression of both p55 and p75 subunits of the IL-2 receptor; and 4) expression of p55 mRNA, but not p75 mRNA. The decrease in p55 mRNA is not due to enhanced mRNA metabolism. We conclude that elevated [cAMP]i, acting directly on T cells, inhibits mitogenesis by decreasing IL-2 receptor expression. We discuss the possible physiological relevance for the multiple stages of T cell activation that are sensitive to elevated [cAMP]i. 相似文献

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) regulate CD4+ T cell interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) secretion in schistosome granulomas. The role of IL-12 was determined using C57BL/6 and CBA mice. C57BL/6 IL-4-/- granuloma cells were stimulated to produce IFN-gamma when cultured with IL-10 or TGF-beta neutralizing monoclonal antibody. In comparison, C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) control granuloma cells produced less IFN-gamma. IL-12, IL-18, and soluble egg antigen stimulated IFN-gamma release from C57BL/6 IL-4-/- and WT mice. IFN-gamma production in C57 IL-4-/- and WT granulomas was IL-12 dependent, because IL-12 blockade partly abrogated IFN-gamma secretion after stimulation. All granuloma cells released IL-12 (p70 and p40), and IL-12 production remained constant after anti-TGF-beta, anti-IL-10, recombinant IL-18, or antigen stimulation. C57 WT and IL-4-/- mouse granuloma cells expressed IL-12 receptor (IL-12R) beta1-subunit mRNA but little beta2 mRNA. TGF-beta or IL-10 blockade did not influence beta1 or beta2 mRNA expression. CBA mouse dispersed granuloma cells released no measurable IFN-gamma, produced IL-12 p70 and little p40, and expressed IL-12R beta2 and little beta1 mRNA. In T helper 2 (Th2) granulomas of C57BL/6 WT and IL-4-/- mice, cells produce IL-12 (for IFN-gamma production) and IL-10 and TGF-beta modulate IFN-gamma secretion via mechanisms independent of IL-12 and IL-12R mRNA regulation. We found substantial differences in control of granuloma IFN-gamma production and IL-12 circuitry in C57BL/6 and CBA mice. 相似文献

There is growing evidence that diesel exhaust particles (DEP) can induce allergic diseases with increased IgE production and preferential activation of Th2 cells. To clarify the cellular basis of the role of DEP in the induction of Th2-dominant responses, we examined the effects of DEP on the cytokine production by T cells stimulated with anti-CD3/CD28 Ab and on that by monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs) stimulated with CD40L and/or IFN-gamma. We examined IFN-gamma, IL-4, IL-5, IL-8, and IL-10 produced by T cells and TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-10, and IL-12 produced by MoDCs using real-time PCR analysis or by ELISA. To highlight the effects of DEP, we compared the effects of DEP with those of dexamethasone (DEX) and cyclosporin A (CyA). DEP significantly suppressed IFN-gamma mRNA expression and protein production, while it did not affect IL-4 or IL-5 mRNA expression or protein production. The suppressive effect on IFN-gamma mRNA expression was more potent than that of DEX and comparable at 30 mug/ml with 10(-7) M CyA. The suppressive effect on IFN-gamma production was also more potent than that of either DEX or CyA. DEP suppressed IL-12p40 and IL-12p35 mRNA expression and IL-12p40 and IL-12p70 production by MoDCs, while it augmented IL-1beta mRNA expression. Finally, by using a thiol antioxidant, N-acetyl cysteine, we found that the suppression of IFN-gamma production by DEP-treated T cells was mediated by oxidative stress. These data revealed a unique characteristic of DEP, namely that they induce a Th2 cytokine milieu in both T cells and dendritic cells. 相似文献

Histamine has an important role in regulation of immune response which is mediated by differential expression of four distinct receptors, H1R-H4R. H1R and HR2 have previously been shown to be involved with modulation of lung inflammation. H4R is also expressed on inflammatory cells; therefore, we investigated the potential role of H4R in development of allergic asthma in a murine model. We determined that the H4R agonist 4-methylhistamine when delivered intratracheally before Ag challenge mitigated airway hyperreactivity and inflammation. This was associated with an increase in IL-10 and IFN-gamma, but not TGF-beta or IL-16, as well as a decrease in IL-13 in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. We also observed that H4R agonist instillation resulted in accumulation of FoxP3(+) T cells suggesting a direct effect on T regulatory cell recruitment. To investigate this further, we determined the in vitro effect of H4R stimulation on human T cell migration. The H4R agonist induced a 2- to 3-fold increase in T cell migration, similar to that seen for H1R agonists. Cells transmigrating to the H4R agonist, but not H1R, were skewed toward a CD4 cell expressing CD25 and intracellular FoxP3. H4R-responsive cells suppressed proliferation of autologous T cells, an effect that was dependent on IL-10 production. We conclude that H4R stimulation enriches for a regulatory T cell with potent suppressive activity for proliferation. These findings identify a novel function for H4R and suggest a potential therapeutic approach to attenuation of asthmatic inflammation. 相似文献

Context: Mast cell (MC) activation through H4R releases various inflammatory mediators which are associated with allergic asthma.Objectives: To investigate the siRNA-mediated gene silencing effect of H4R on human mast cells (HMCs) functions and the activation of stress-activated protein kinases (SAPK)/jun amino-terminal kinases (JNK) signaling pathways for the release of ineterleukin-1β (IL-1β) in HMCs.Materials and methods: H4R expression was analyzed by RT-PCR and western blotting in human mast cell line-1 (HMC-1) cells and H4RsiRNA transfected cells. The effect of H4RsiRNA and H4R-antagonist on H4R mediated MC functions such as intracellular Ca2+ release, degranulation, IL-6 and IL-1β release, and the activation SAPK/JNK signaling pathways were studied. HMC-1 cells were stimulated with 10?μM of histamine (His) and 4-methylhistamine (4-MH) and pretreated individually with H4R-antagonist JNJ7777120 (JNJ), histamine H1 receptor (H1R)-antagonist mepyramine, and signaling molecule inhibitors SP600125 (SP) and Bay117082.Results: We found that the HMC-1 cells expressed H4R and H4RsiRNA treatment down regulated the H4R expression in HMC-1 cells. Both His and 4-MH induced the intracellular Ca2+ release and degranulation whereas; H4R siRNA and JNJ inhibited the effect. Furthermore, the activation of H4R caused the phosphorylation of SAPK/JNK pathways. H4R gene silencing and pretreatment with SP and JNJ decreased His and 4-MH induced phosphorylation of SAPK/JNK. We found that the activation of H4R caused the release of IL-1β (124.22?pg/ml) and IL-6 (122.50?pg/ml) on HMC-1 cells. Whereas, SAPK/JNK inhibitor (68.36?pg/ml) inhibited the H4R mediated IL-1β release.Conclusions: Taken together, the silencing of H4R inhibited the H4R mediated MC functions and SAPK/JNK phosphorylation. Furthermore, the H4R activation utilized SAPK/JNK signaling pathway for IL-1β release in HMC-1 cells. 相似文献

A new histamine receptor, HH4R, was cloned from human leukocyte cDNA. The deduced amino acid sequence showed about 40% identity to that of the human histamine H3 receptor, HH3R. HH4R-expressing cells responded to histamine, inhibiting forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation. An H3 agonist, N-alpha-methylhistamine (NAMHA), bound specifically to HH4R, while another H3 agonist, R(-)-alpha-methylhistamine (RAMHA), and the H3 antagonist, thioperamide, competed with this binding. RAMHA, NAMHA, and imetit inhibited forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation in HH4R-expressing cells. However, the binding affinities and agonistic activities of H3 agonists to HH4R were weaker than those to HH3R. Low expression of HH4R was detected in a wide variety of peripheral tissues by RT-PCR; however, in contrast with HH3R, expression was not detected in the brain. These observations indicate that the clone is a distinct histamine receptor from HH3R, and thus is named HH4R. 相似文献

Context: The histamine H4 receptor functionally expressed on human mast cells and their signaling pathways for the production of IL-13 and RANTES have never been analyzed side by side in a directly comparable manner.Objective: Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate signaling transduction pathways of H4R via ERK1/2, Akt and NFκB leading to the induction of inflammatory cytokine expression.Materials and methods: In the present study, HMC-1 cells and CBMCs were pretreated individually with H4R antagonist JNJ7777120, H1R antagonist mepyramine and signaling molecule inhibitors PD 98059, LY294002, Bay 117082 followed by stimulation was done with or without histamine or 4-MH. Furthermore, the siRNA mediated H4R gene silencing effects are studied at the H4R protein expression level and also signal transduction level.Results: We found that the pretreatment with JNJ7777120 and H4R gene silencing decreased histamine, 4-MH induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2, Akt and NFκB-p65. Moreover, PD 98059, LY294002 and Bay 117082, which respectively inhibited the histamine and 4-methylhistamine induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2, Akt and NFκB-p65 respectively. We also found that the activation of H4R caused the release of IL-13 and RANTES on human mast cells. The MEK inhibitor PD98059 blocked H4R mediated RANTES/CCL5 production by 20.33?pg/ml and inhibited IL-13 generation by 95.71?pg/ml. In contrast, PI3 kinase inhibitor LY294002 had no effect on 4-MH induced RANTES/CCL5 production but blocked IL-13 generation by 117.58?pg/ml.Discussion and conclusion: These data demonstrate that the H4R activates divergent signaling pathways to induce cytokine and chemokine production in human mast cells. 相似文献

The histamine H3 receptor (H3R) has been recognized as a promising target for the treatment of various central and peripheral nervous system diseases. In this study, a non-imidazole compound, ZEL-H16, was identified as a novel histamine H3 receptor agonist. ZEL-H16 was found to bind to human H3R with a Ki value of approximately 2.07 nM and 4.36 nM to rat H3R. Further characterization indicated that ZEL-H16 behaved as a partial agonist on the inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation (the efficacy was 60% of that of histamine) and activation of ERK1/2 signaling (the efficacy was 50% of that of histamine) at H3 receptors, but acted as a full agonist just like histamin in the guinea-pig ileum contraction assay. These effects were blocked by pertussis toxin and H3 receptor specific antagonist thioperamide. ZEL-H16 showed no agonist or antagonist activities at the cloned human histamine H1, H2, and H4 receptors and other biogenic amine GPCRs in the CRE-driven reporter assay. Furthermore, our present data demonstrated that treatment of ZEL-H16 resulted in intensive H3 receptor internalization and delayed recycling to the cell surface as compared to that of control with treatment of histamine. Thus, ZEL-H16 is a novel and potent nonimidazole agonist of H3R, which might serve as a pharmacological tool for future investigations or as possible therapeutic agent of H3R. 相似文献

Histamine polarizes human dendritic cells into Th2 cell-promoting effector dendritic cells 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21

Allergic disorders are characterized by allergen-specific Th2-biased responses. Signals controlling Th2 cell polarization, especially those acting by polarizing dendritic cells (DC) into Th2-promoting DC (DC2), are not well known. Histamine, a mediator released by allergen-stimulated mast cells from allergic subjects, has been reported to activate human immature DC. We have therefore tested whether histamine affects DC polarization. We report here that histamine inhibits LPS-induced IL-12 production and polarizes uncommitted maturing DC into effector DC2. DC matured in the presence of histamine fail to produce IL-12 upon subsequent stimulation and prime Th2 responses, even in presence of IFN-gamma, a potent DC1-driving factor. All these effects are mediated through both H1 and H2 receptors. These data show that histamine is a potent DC2-polarizing factor and provide evidence for a novel mechanism that explains the initiation and maintenance of a predominant Th2 response in allergic disorders. 相似文献

Histamine is a biological amine that plays an important role in allergic responses. However, the involvement of histamine signaling in late allergic responses in the skin is poorly understood. Therefore, we attempted to investigate the involvement of histamine signaling in late allergic responses, especially in keratinocytes (KCs). HaCaT KCs and normal human KCs (NHKs) predominantly expressed histamine H1 receptor (H1R) and H2 receptor (H2R). Histamine suppressed tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)- and interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-induced production of CC chemokine ligand 17(CCL17), a type 2 T-helper (Th2) chemokine, by HaCaT KCs. It suppressed the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, but not that of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), and TNF-α- and IFN-γ-induced nuclear factor κB (NFκB) activity. In contrast, histamine enhanced the production of CXC chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10), a Th1 chemokine, by TNF-α- and IFN-γ-stimulated HaCaT KCs and NHKs. TNF-α- and IFN-γ-induced CXCL10 production was upregulated by suppression of p38 MAP kinase or NF-κB activity, which could explain histamine involvement. We concluded that histamine suppresses CCL17 production by KCs by suppressing p38 MAP kinase and NF-κB activity through H1R and may act as a negative-feedback signal for existing Th2-dominant inflammation by suppressing CCL17 and enhancing CXCL10 production. 相似文献

The expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) as well as of cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) have all been suggested to propagate neuropathology in different brain disorders such as HIV-dementia, prion diseases, stroke and Alzheimer's disease. In this report, we show that PGE2-stimulated IL-6 release in U373 MG human astroglioma cells and primary rat astrocytes. PGE2-induced intracellular cAMP formation was mediated via prostaglandin E receptor 2 (EP2), but inhibition of cAMP formation and protein kinase A or blockade of EP1/EP2 receptors did not affect PGE2-induced IL-6 synthesis. This indicates that the cAMP pathway is not part of PGE2-induced signal transduction cascade leading to IL-6 release. The EP3/EP1-receptor agonist sulprostone failed to induce IL-6 release, suggesting an involvement of EP4-like receptors. PGE2-activated p38 mitogen-activated kinase (p38 MAPK) and protein kinase C (PKC). PGE2-induced IL-6 synthesis was inhibited by specific inhibitors of p38 MAPK (SB202190) and PKC (GF203190X). Although, up to now, EP receptors have only rarely been linked to p38 MAPK or PKC activation, these results suggest that PGE2 induces IL-6 via an EP4-like receptor by the activation of PKC and p38 MAPK via an EP4-like receptor independently of cAMP. 相似文献

We have shown previously that the elevation of intracellular cAMP in antigen or anti-CD3-activated murine Th1 clones in the absence of antigen inhibits antigen-induced proliferation and the production of IL-2 by H2O2-mediated oxidation of p56lck and inhibits antigen-induced production of interferon-gamma by the induction of intracellular nitric oxide. Moreover, activated Th1 clones are resistant to cAMP-induced suppression. These results suggest that the immunosuppression of Th1 cells mediated by elevated intracellular cAMP is associated with an alteration in the intracellular oxidation/reduction environment. Here we report that the culture of an antigen or anti-CD3-activated murine Th1 clone with the adenylcyclase agonist forskolin (FSK) in the absence of antigen reduces the activity of intracellular catalase, and diminishes levels of intracellular reduced glutathione (GSH). Resting cells resistant to cAMP-induced suppression have higher intracellular GSH levels than antigen-activated cells susceptible to cAMP-induced suppression. The results provide further evidence that cAMP-induced suppression of Th1 clones is mediated by profound alterations in the intracellular redox environment and may be used to selectively inactivate Th1 cells activated by antigen. 相似文献

Mast cells are critical for allergic reactions, but also for innate or acquired immunity and inflammatory conditions that worsen by stress. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), which activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis under stress, also has proinflammatory peripheral effects possibly through mast cells. We investigated the expression of CRH receptors and the effects of CRH in the human leukemic mast cell (HMC-1) line and human umbilical cord blood-derived mast cells. We detected mRNA for CRH-R1alpha, 1beta, 1c, 1e, 1f isoforms, as well as CRH-R1 protein in both cell types. CRH-R2alpha (but not R2beta or R2gamma) mRNA and protein were present only in human cord blood-derived mast cells. CRH increased cAMP and induced secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) without tryptase, histamine, IL-6, IL-8, or TNF-alpha release. The effects were blocked by the CRH-R1 antagonist antalarmin, but not the CRH-R2 antagonist astressin 2B. CRH-stimulated VEGF production was mediated through activation of adenylate cyclase and increased cAMP, as evidenced by the fact that the effect of CRH was mimicked by the direct adenylate cyclase activator forskolin and the cell-permeable cAMP analog 8-bromo-cAMP, whereas it was abolished by the adenylate cyclase inhibitor SQ22536. This is the first evidence that mast cells express functional CRH receptors and that CRH can induce VEGF secretion selectively. CRH-induced mast cell-derived VEGF could, therefore, be involved in chronic inflammatory conditions associated with increased VEGF, such as arthritis or psoriasis, both of which worsen by stress. 相似文献
