Pulmonary vasomotor actions of histamine and the possible relationship of histamine to hypoxic pulmonary vasconstriction were studied in anaesthetized cats with one lobe of lung perfused at constant flow and in isolated perfused rat and ferret lungs. In the cat histamine caused dilatation, biphasic responses and constriction with increasing doses. Histamine induced dilatation was better demonstrated during hypoxic vasoconstriction and was reduced by an H2 histamine antagonist; constriction with histamine was abolished by an H1 antagonist. Histamine also caused both vasodilatation and vasoconstriction in ferret lungs. A mast cell stabilizing agent had no effect on hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in cats or rats. This response was unaffected in cats but greatly reduced in rats and ferrets by cyproheptadine, a combined histamine and 5-hydroxy-tryptamine inhibitor. It was unaffected in cats but abolished in ferrets an H1 histamine inhibitor. It was again unaffected in cats but greatly reduced in rats and ferrets by an H2 histamine inhibitor. These species differences may reflect differences in mechanism but more probably reflect non-specific effects of the inhibitors in certain circumstances. However, when drugs nearly abolished hypoxic vasoconstriction, ATP still caused vasoconstriction.  相似文献

Adrenal medullary chromaffin cells maintained in vitro were prelabeled with [3H]inositol and the accumulation of [3H]inositol-1-phosphate, was determined following stimulation with a variety of pharmacological agents. Carbachol, bradykinin, and histamine produced significantly greater accumulation of [3H] inositol-1-phosphate over basal levels, with histamine producing the greatest effect. H1-histamine receptor antagonists, mepyramine, pyrilamine, tripelennamine and clemastine were all able to reduce or completely block the histamine response. The two specific H2-histamine receptor antagonists, cimetidine and ranitidine, had no effect on this response. Histamine dose-response characteristics in the presence of mepyramine and clemastine suggest the H1 antagonism to be competitive in nature.  相似文献

In conscious rats histamine, the H1-receptor agonist 2-pyridylethylamine (PEA), and the H2-receptor agonists dimaprit and impromidine given intracerebroventriculary (i.c.v.) increased the hypophyseal-adrenocortical response, evaluated indirectly through the corticosterone concentration in the blood serum. On a molar basis histamine was the most potent drug whereas its agonists were less potent in inducing an increased corticosterone response. Impromidine however, was far more active than dimaprit and PEA. The effect of histamine was significantly yet not totally antagonized by either mepyramine, a H1-receptor antagonist, or cimetidine, a H2-receptor blocker. The combination of mepyramine and cimetidine caused a considerably stronger inhibition than that induced by either antagonist given separately. Mepyramine impaired the corticosterone response to PEA, and the responses to impromidine and dimaprit were significantly diminished by cimetidine. The results suggest that i.c.v. histamine increases the pituitary-adrenocortical activity via both H1- and H2-receptors, and there seems to be no significant prevalence of either of these receptors in mediating this action of histamine.  相似文献

Histamine receptors on the surface of E. histolytica could be demonstrated by histochemical method using three isolates of the protozoa grown and maintained in modified Boeck and Drbohlav's medium. Prior treatment of E. histolytica with cimetidine a H2 blocker, blocked the histamine uptake. Similar treatment with mepyramine maleate, a H1 blocker, did not prevent histamine uptake by the protozoa. It is postulated that E. histolytica has H2 receptors on its surface.  相似文献

Histamine is an inflammatory mediator present in mast cells, which are abundant in the wall of the gallbladder. We examined the electrical properties of gallbladder smooth muscle and nerve associated with histamine-induced changes in gallbladder tone. Recordings were made from gallbladder smooth muscle and neurons, and responses to histamine and receptor subtype-specific compounds were tested. Histamine application to intact smooth muscle produced a concentration-dependent membrane depolarization and increased excitability. In the presence of the H(2) antagonist ranitidine, the response to histamine was potentiated. Activation of H(2) receptors caused membrane hyperpolarization and elimination of spontaneous action potentials. The H(2) response was attenuated by the ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channel blocker glibenclamide in intact and isolated smooth muscle. Histamine had no effect on the resting membrane potential or excitability of gallbladder neurons. Furthermore, neither histamine nor the H(3) agonist R-alpha-methylhistamine altered the amplitude of the fast excitatory postsynaptic potential in gallbladder ganglia. The mast cell degranulator compound 48/80 caused a smooth muscle depolarization that was inhibited by the H(1) antagonist mepyramine, indicating that histamine released from mast cells can activate gallbladder smooth muscle. In conclusion, histamine released from mast cells can act on gallbladder smooth muscle, but not in ganglia. The depolarization and associated contraction of gallbladder smooth muscle represent the net effect of activation of both H(1) (excitatory) and H(2) (inhibitory) receptors, with the H(2) receptor-mediated response involving the activation of K(ATP) channels.  相似文献

Histamine has been shown to mediate features of pulmonary allergic reactions including increased tracheobronchial blood flow. To determine whether the increase in blood flow was due to stimulation of H1- or H2-histamine receptors, we gave histamine base (0.1 micrograms/kg iv) or histamine dihydrochloride as an aerosol (10 breaths of 0.5% "low dose" or 5% "high dose") before and after H1- or H2-receptor antagonists. Blood velocity in the common bronchial branch of the bronchoesophageal artery (Vbr) was continuously measured using a chronically implanted Doppler flow probe. Pretreatment with H2-receptor antagonists cimetidine, ranitidine, or metiamide did not affect the increase in Vbr induced by intravenous histamine [106 +/- 45% (SD)]. Addition of the H1-receptor antagonists diphenhydramine or chlorpheniramine, however, reduced the Vbr response to 16 +/- 22, 21 +/- 28, 23 +/- 23, and 37 +/- 32% of the unblocked responses (P less than 0.05) when intravenous histamine was given at 3, 10, 20, and 30 min, respectively, after the H1 antagonist. At 40, 50, and 60 min the H1-receptor blockade appeared to attenuate, but subsequent continuous infusion of chlorpheniramine (2 mg.kg-1.min-1) then blocked the histamine response for 60 min. Low-dose histamine aerosol did not change mean arterial or pulmonary arterial pressures, cardiac output, or arterial blood gases but increased Vbr transiently from 15.2 +/- 3.4 to 37.6 +/- 8.4 (SE) cm/s. After chlorpheniramine, the Vbr response to histamine, 16.3 +/- 2.2 to 22.6 +/- 3.6 cm/s, was significantly reduced (P less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The role of the central histaminergic system in depression was studied by using swimming despair test in mice - a behavioural model of depression. In this test, immobility of mice reflects a state of depression. Intracerebral (ic) injection of histamine (50-200 micrograms) increased significantly the immobility. The H1-receptor blocker mepyramine (2.5-20 mg/kg ip) had no effect while H2-receptor blocker cimetidine (100-200 micrograms ic) caused a significant decrease in immobility. The histamine induced facilitation was blocked completely by cimetidine and antidepressant drugs-imipramine and desipramine, but remained unaffected in mice pretreated with mepyramine or atropine. The H2 agonist impromidine (20-40 micrograms ic) also enhanced significantly, the immobility which was blocked by cimetidine and antidepressant drugs. It has been concluded that central H2-receptors facilitate depression and antidepressant drugs block central H2-receptors.  相似文献

Experiments were made to study the influence of a new antihistaminic drug phencarol [(quinuclidyl-3) diphenylcarbinol hydrochloride] on gastric secretion in rats. Unlike the blockers of H1-histamine receptors (diphenhydramine, omeril, pyrilamine, and cyproheptadine), phencarol reduces secretion and the content of free hydrochloric acid in the gastric contents. The antacid activity of the drug is similar to that of the H2-receptor blocker, cimetidine. However, phencarol differs from the latter drug in the mechanism of action. The antacid action of phencarol is likely to be the result of its activation effect on diamine oxidase, which leads to a decrease in the content of active histamine in the tissues and diminution of its supply to H2-histamine receptors that control gastric secretion.  相似文献

The interaction of 4(5)-[2-(4-azido-2-nitroanilino)ethyl]imidazole (AAH), a photolabile histamine receptor antagonist, with the binding of histamine, mepyramine, and tiotidine to guinea pig cerebral cortical membranes was examined to evaluate the specificity of AAH for histamine H1 and H2 receptors. Saturable, specific binding of [3H]histamine, [3H]mepyramine, and [3H]tiotidine to the membranes was observed. Competition assays were used to assess the relative affinity of AAH for H1- and H2-receptors. The rank order of IC50 values obtained was (most to least potent) (i) for competing with [3H]histamine binding: histamine greater than AAH much greater than mepyramine approximately equal to tiotidine; (ii) for competing with [3H]mepyramine binding: mepyramine much greater than AAH greater than histamine greater than tiotidine; and (III) for competing with [3H]tiotidine binding: tiotidine much greater than mepyramine greater than histamine approximately equal to AAH. The affinity of AAH for H1 receptors was ca. 14-fold greater than for H2 receptors. These findings support previous evidence obtained in isolated smooth muscle preparations that AAH shows H1-receptor selectivity as an antagonist.  相似文献

The role of histamine as a mediator of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction was examined in intact anesthetized dogs. Antagonism of histamine vasoconstrictor (H1) receptors with a classic antihistaminic drug (chlorpheniramine) failed to prevent or modify the pulmonary vascular responses to hypoxia (10% O2). Blockade of histamine vasodilator (H2) receptors with a newly synthesized blocking agent (metiamide) potentiated the vasoconstriction induced by hypoxia and prevented the normal increase in heart rate. Combined H1- and H2-receptor blockade also did not prevent or reduce the hypoxic pulmonary pressor response, although it did effectively abolish the cardiovascular actions of infused histamine. In other dogs, histamine infused (3.6 mug/kg per min) during hypoxia attenuated the pulmonary vasoconstriction induced by hypoxia. The results imply that, in the dog, histamine does not mediate hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. However, histamine does appear to be released during hypoxia, and it may play a role in modulating the pulmonary vascular responses to hypoxia by opposing the hypoxia induced vasoconstriction. The results also imply that histamine may be responsible for the increase in heart rate during hypoxia.  相似文献

This study of newborn (3-10 day old) and juvenile (6-8 mo old) in situ isolated lamb lungs was undertaken to determine whether 1) histamine receptor blockade accentuates hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction more in newborns than in juveniles, 2) histamine infusion causes a decrease in both normoxic pulmonary vascular resistance and hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in newborns, and 3) the H1-mediated dilator response to infused histamine in newborns is due to enhanced dilator prostaglandin release. Pulmonary arterial pressure (Ppa) was determined at baseline and in response to histamine (infusion rates of 0.1-10.0 micrograms.kg-1 min-1) in control, H1-blocked, H2-blocked, combined H1- and H2-blocked, and cyclooxygenase-inhibited H2-blocked lungs under "normoxic" (inspired O2 fraction 0.28) and hypoxic (inspired O2 fraction 0.04) conditions. In newborns, H1-receptor blockade markedly accentuated baseline hypoxic Ppa, and H2-receptor blockade caused an increase in baseline normoxic Ppa. In juveniles, neither H1 nor H2 blockade altered baseline normoxic or hypoxic Ppa. Histamine infusion caused both H1- and H2-mediated decreases in Ppa in normoxic and hypoxic newborn lungs. In juvenile lungs, histamine infusion also caused H2-mediated decreases in Ppa during both normoxia and hypoxia. During normoxia, histamine infusion caused an H1-mediated increase in normoxic Ppa in juveniles as previously seen in mature animals; however, during hypoxia there was an H1-mediated decrease in Ppa at low doses of histamine followed by an increase in Ppa. Combined histamine-receptor blockade markedly reduced both dilator and pressor responses to histamine infusion. Indomethacin failed to alter the H1-mediated dilator response to histamine in newborns.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

To investigate the possible involvement of histamine H(3) receptors in renal noradrenergic neurotransmission, effects of (R)alpha-methylhistamine (R-HA), a selective H3-receptor agonist, and thioperamide (Thiop), a selective H3-receptor antagonist, on renal nerve stimulation (RNS)-induced changes in renal function and norepinephrine (NE) overflow in anesthetized dogs were examined. RNS (0.5-2.0 Hz) produced significant decreases in urine flow and urinary sodium excretion and increases in NE overflow rate (NEOR), without affecting renal hemodynamics. When R-HA (1 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1)) was infused intravenously, mean arterial pressure and heart rate were significantly decreased, and there was a tendency to reduce basal values of urine flow and urinary sodium excretion. During R-HA infusion, RNS-induced antidiuretic action and increases in NEOR were markedly attenuated. Thiop infusion (5 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1)) did not affect basal hemodynamic and excretory parameters. Thiop infusion caused RNS-induced antidiuretic action and increases in NEOR similar to the basal condition. When R-HA was administered concomitantly with Thiop infusion, R-HA failed to attenuate the RNS-induced antidiuretic action and increases in NEOR. However, in the presence of pyrilamine (a selective H1-receptor antagonist) or cimetidine (a selective H2-receptor antagonist) infusion, R-HA attenuated the RNS-induced actions, similarly to the case without these antagonists. Thus functional histamine H3 receptors, possibly located on renal noradrenergic nerve endings, may play the role of inhibitory modulators of renal noradrenergic neurotransmission.  相似文献

Radiation-induced hypothermia was examined in guinea pigs. Exposure to the head alone or whole-body irradiation induced hypothermia, whereas exposure of the body alone produced a small insignificant response. Systemic injection of disodium cromoglycate (a mast cell stabilizer) and cimetidine (H2-receptor antagonist) had no effect on radiation-induced hypothermia, whereas systemic and central administration of mepyramine (H1-receptor antagonist) or central administration of disodium cromoglycate or cimetidine attenuated it, indicating the involvement of central histamine through both H1 and H2 receptors in this response. Serotonin is not involved, since the serotonin antagonist methysergide had no effect on radiation-induced hypothermia. These results indicate that central histaminergic systems may be involved in radiation-induced hypothermia.  相似文献

Mast cells, visualized with toluidine blue staining and the Falck-Hillarp fluorescence technique, were mainly located around large blood vessels in the hilus region of the ovary in adult rats and in immature rats treated with PMSG. Histamine concentration in the rat ovary was significantly reduced after the LH surge in PMSG-treated animals, corresponding to a reduced number of ovarian mast cells. No marked change in the number of mast cells and histamine concentration was found in adult rats during the oestrous cycle. Histamine as well as the H1-agonist, 2-methylhistamine, and the H2-agonist, 4-methylhistamine, induced ovulations in the isolated perfused rat ovary. Ovulation rates were significantly lower than those evoked by LH. The histamine liberator, Compound 48/80, induced ovulations which were blocked by the combined effect of the H1- and H2-histamine receptor antagonists, cimetidine and pyrilamine. The anti-degranulating agent, disodium cromoglycate, did not block ovulations induced by Compound 48/80. The results show that the level of ovarian histamine, which is primarily stored in mast cells, can be influenced by PMSG treatment, and that the amine is able to induce ovulations in gonadotrophin-primed rats by an effect mediated by both H1 and H2 receptors.  相似文献

Isolated perfused hearts of rats and guinea pigs reacted to arachidonic acid (AA) with coronary vasoconstriction followed by vasodilatation. The infusion of prostacyclin (PGI2), Iloprost, hydralazine (HYD), and nifedipine (NFP) elicited a vasodilatation that nullified the coronary flow reserve, therefore the AA-induced vasodilatation was abolished. Dipyridamole (DPY) and 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine (MIX) produced a slight coronary dilatation without restricting the dilatation induced by AA. Regardless of their vasodilator action, all these drugs acted by inhibiting the AA-induced coronary constriction, while their infusion lasted. We postulated that a thromboxane-like substance, formed from AA in the vascular walls, would be responsible for the coronary vasoconstriction caused by AA. The inhibition of the AA-induced coronary constriction by PGI2, Iloprost, HYD, NFP, DPY, and MIX may be explained by an inhibitory action of these drugs on the synthetic processes of the thromboxane-like substance.  相似文献

Histamine (1-100 microM) induced a concentration-dependent increase in intracellular cyclic AMP in monolayer cultures of human, canine and foetal-bovine articular chondrocytes. The dose-response curve for histamine in each culture was progressively displaced to the right with increasing concentrations of cimetidine, an H2-receptor antagonist. The histamine-induced cyclic AMP elevation in human articular chondrocytes was also significantly decreased by ranitidine, another H2 antagonist, but not by the H1 antagonists mepyramine and chlorpheniramine. These findings indicate that histamine activates chondrocyte adenylate cyclase through an H2 receptor. The cyclic AMP response of human chondrocytes to histamine was many times greater than that measured for synovial fibroblasts under similar conditions. Such findings suggest that mast-cell-chondrocyte interactions in vivo may contribute to changed chondrocyte metabolism in joint disease.  相似文献

Intravenous administration of histamine causes an increase in choroidal blood flow and retinal vessel diameter in healthy subjects. The mechanism underlying this effect remains to be elucidated. In the present study, we hypothesized that H2 receptor blockade alters hemodynamic effects of histamine in the choroid and retina. Eighteen healthy male nonsmoking volunteers were included in this randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled two-way crossover study. Histamine (0.32 microg.kg(-1).min(-1) over 30 min) was infused intravenously in the absence (NaCl as placebo) or presence of the H2 blocker cimetidine (2.3 mg/min over 50 min). Ocular hemodynamic parameters, blood pressure, and intraocular pressure were measured before drug administration, after infusion of cimetidine or placebo, and after coinfusion of histamine. Subfoveal choroidal blood flow and fundus pulsation amplitude were measured with laser-Doppler flowmetry and laser interferometry, respectively. Retinal arterial and venous diameters were measured with a retinal vessel analyzer. Retinal blood velocity was assessed with bidirectional laser-Doppler velocimetry. Histamine increased subfoveal choroidal blood flow (+14 +/- 15%, P < 0.001), fundus pulsation amplitude (+11 +/- 5%, P < 0.001), retinal venous diameter (+3.0 +/- 3.6%, P = 0.002), and retinal arterial diameter (+2.8 +/- 4.2%, P < 0.01) but did not change retinal blood velocity. The H2 antagonist cimetidine had no significant effect on ocular hemodynamic parameters. In addition, cimetidine did not modify effects of histamine on choroidal blood flow, fundus pulsation amplitude, retinal venous diameter, and retinal arterial diameter compared with placebo. The present data confirm that histamine increases choroidal blood flow and retinal vessel diameters in healthy subjects. This ocular vasodilator effect of histamine is, however, not altered by administration of an H2 blocker. Whether the increase in blood flow is mediated via H1 receptors or other hitherto unidentified mechanisms remains to be elucidated.  相似文献

The study of the effect of histamine and cAMP on the proliferation of lymphocyte populations has shown that both substances induce a significant decrease in the rate of T-suppressor proliferation. This effect can be neutralized by methiamide--a blocker of H2-histamine receptors. The obtained results point out the possibility of a regulative effect of cAMP on the proliferation of T-suppressors. This effect is mediated by surface receptors of the cell which are similar to or identical with H2-histamine receptors.  相似文献

The action of histamine in oleic acid (OA)-induced injury was investigated using the isolated guinea pig lung perfused with blood-free media. OA infusion caused a significant increase in pulmonary arterial pressure, airway inspiratory pressure, lung weight, and protein flux across the alveolar-capillary barrier. These changes were dose dependent and caused injury regardless of the chemical form of OA (salt or free acid). Triolein (a neutral fat) infused at comparable emulsion particle size did not alter lung weight or bronchoalveolar lavage protein concentration in the perfused lung, suggesting that mechanical obstruction or emboli per se is not responsible for initiating early events in OA-induced injury. Infusion of OA caused a significant early histamine release into the venous effluent in the presence of aminoguanidine, a histamine catabolism inhibitor. Pretreatment with H1-receptor antagonists significantly attenuated OA-induced increase in lung weight and protein leak. These data support the link between OA-induced mast cell degranulation, histamine release, and OA-induced edema.  相似文献

Histamine covalently bound to glutaraldehyde-activated ferritin was prepared as either monomers or as small aggregates of approximately 0.05 to 0.15 micrometer Diam, suitable for electron microscopic detection of histamine cellular binding sites. The histamine-ferritin conjugates (MF) maintain the histamine capability to induce the opening of endothelial junctions in venules. To investigate the distribution of histamine receptors in the vascular endothelium, monomers or aggregates of MF were perfused in situ (mice), and various vascular beds, particularly that of the diaphragm, were fixed and processed for electron microscopy. The conjugate was preferentially bound on restricted areas of luminal endothelial cell plasmalemma especially in regions rich in filaments, and near the junctions between endothelial cells. The density of histamine binding sites was characteristically high in venules; it occurred to a much lesser extent in arterioles, veins, and muscular arteries whereas capillaries and aorta showed the lowest values. A similar distribution was obtained after perfusion of H1 or H2 receptor agonists coupled to ferritin (2-pyridylethylamine- ferritin [PF], or 4-methylhistamine-ferritin [MF], respectively). The binding specificity was assessed through control experiments with either native or activated ferritin or by competition with histamine. The findings suggest that histamine receptors are largely represented in the cell membrane of the vascular endothelium, particularly in venules. Experiments using specific H1 and H2 receptor agonists (PF and MF) and antagonists (mepyramine and cimetidine) indicate that the venular endothelium contains mainly H2 receptors.  相似文献
