Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND METHODS IL-33 is present in endothelial, epithelial, and fibroblast-like cells and released upon cell injury. IL-33 reportedly induces mast-cell degranulation and is involved in various diseases, including allergic diseases. So, IL-33-related diseases seem to overlap with histamine-related diseases. In addition to the release from mast cells, histamine is newly formed by the induction of histidine decarboxylase (HDC). Some inflammatory and/or hematopoietic cytokines (IL-1, IL-3, etc.) are known to induce HDC, and the histamine produced by HDC induction is released without storage. We examined the involvement of HDC and histamine in the effects of IL-33. RESULTS A single intraperitoneal injection of IL-33 into mice induced HDC directly and/or via other cytokines (including IL-5) within a few hours in various tissues, particularly strongly in hematopoietic organs. The major cells exhibiting HDC-induction were mast cells and c-kit+ cells in the bone marrow. HDC was also induced in non-mast cells in non-hematopoietic organs. HDC, histamine, and histamine H4 receptors (H4Rs) contributed to the suppression of IL-33-induced eosinophilia. CONCLUSION IL-33 directly and indirectly (via IL-5) induces HDC in various cells, particularly potently in c-kit+ cells and mature mast cells, and the newly formed histamine contributes to the negative regulation of IL-33-induced eosinophilia via H4Rs.

Abstract
Aerobic exercise induces mast cell degranulation and increases histamine formation by histidine decarboxylase, resulting in an ∼150% increase in intramuscular histamine. The purpose of this study was to determine if the increase in skeletal muscle temperature associated with exercise is sufficient to explain this histamine response. Specifically, we hypothesized that local passive heating that mimics the magnitude and time course of changes in skeletal muscle temperature observed during exercise would result in increased intramuscular histamine concentrations comparable to exercising values. Seven subjects participated in the main study in which pulsed short-wave diathermy was used to passively raise the temperature of the vastus lateralis over 60 min. Heating increased intramuscular temperature from 32.6°C [95% confidence interval (CI) 32.0°C to 33.2°C] to 38.9°C (38.7°C to 39.2°C) (P < 0.05) and increased intramuscular histamine concentration from 2.14 ng/mL (1.92 to 2.36 ng/mL) to 2.97 ng/mL (2.57 to 3.36 ng/mL) (P < 0.05), an increase of 41%. In a follow-up in vitro experiment using human-derived cultured mast cells, heating to comparable temperatures did not activate mast cell degranulation. Therefore, it appears that exercise-associated changes in skeletal muscle temperature are sufficient to generate elevations in intramuscular histamine concentration. However, this thermal effect is most likely due to changes in de novo histamine formation via histidine decarboxylase and not due to degranulation of mast cells. In conclusion, physiologically relevant increases in skeletal muscle temperature explain part, but not all, of the histamine response to aerobic exercise. This thermal effect may be important in generating positive adaptations to exercise training.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The "exercise signal" that triggers histamine release within active skeletal muscle during aerobic exercise is unknown. By mimicking the magnitude and time course of increasing skeletal muscle temperature observed during aerobic exercise, we demonstrate that part of the exercise-induced rise in histamine is explained by a thermal effect, with in vitro experiments suggesting this is most likely via de novo histamine formation. This thermal effect may be important in generating positive adaptations to exercise training.

Abstract
Histamine mediates vasodilation during inflammatory and immune responses, as well as following endurance exercise. During exercise, intramuscular histamine concentration increases, and its production, appears related to exercise intensity and duration. However, whether histamine contributes to exercise hyperemia and promotes exercise blood flow in an intensity- or duration-dependent pattern is unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare leg blood flow across a range of exercise intensities, before and after prolonged exercise, with and without histamine-receptor antagonism. It was hypothesized that combined oral histamine H1/H2-receptor antagonism would decrease leg blood flow, and the effect would be greater at higher intensities and following prolonged exercise. Sixteen (7F, 9M) volunteers performed single-leg knee-extension exercise after consuming either placebo or combined histamine H1/H2-receptor antagonists (Blockade). Exercise consisted of two graded protocols at 20, 40, 60, and 80% of peak power, separated by 60 min of knee-extension exercise at 60% of peak power. Femoral artery blood flow was measured by ultrasonography. Femoral artery blood flow increased with exercise intensity up to 2,660 ± 97 mL/min at 80% of peak power during Placebo (P < 0.05). Blood flow was further elevated with Blockade to 2,836 ± 124 mL/min (P < 0.05) at 80% peak power (9.1 ± 4.8% higher than placebo). These patterns were not affected by prolonged exercise (P = 0.13). On average, femoral blood flow during prolonged exercise was 12.7 ± 2.8% higher with Blockade vs. Placebo (P < 0.05). Contrary to the hypothesis, these results suggest that histamine receptor antagonism during exercise, regardless of intensity or duration, increases leg blood flow measured by ultrasonography.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Leg blood flow during exercise was increased by taking antihistamines, which block the receptors for histamine, a molecule often associated with inflammatory and immune responses. The elevated blood flow occurred over exercise intensities ranging from 20 to 80% of peak capacity and during exercise of 60 min duration. These results suggest that exercise-induced elevations in histamine concentrations are involved in novel, poorly understood, and perhaps complex ways in the exercise response.

Abstract
Histamine is released within skeletal muscle during exercise. In humans, antihistamines have no effect on speed, power output, or time-to-completion of short-duration high-intensity exercise. In mice, blocking histamine's actions decreases speed and duration of endurance tasks. It is unknown if these opposing outcomes are the result of differences in histamine's actions between species or are related to duration and/or intensity of exercise, as blocking histamine during endurance exercise has not been examined in humans. PURPOSE Determine the effects of histamine-receptor antagonism on cycling time trial performance in humans, with and without a preceding bout of sustained steady-state exercise. METHODS Eleven (3F) competitive cyclists performed six 10-km time trials on separate days. The first two time trials served as familiarization. The next four time trials were performed in randomized-block order, where two were preceded by 120 min of seated rest (rest) and two by 120 min of cycling exercise (Exercise) at 50% V˙O2peak. Within each block, subjects consumed either combined histamine H1 and H2 receptor antagonists (Blockade) or Placebo, before the start of the 120-min Rest/Exercise. RESULTS Blockade had no discernible effects on hemodynamic or metabolic variables during Rest or Exercise. However, Blockade increased time-to-completion of the 10-km time trial compared with Placebo (+10.5 ± 3.7 s, P < 0.05). Slowing from placebo to blockade was not different between rest (+8.7 ± 5.2 s) and Exercise (+12.3 ± 5.8 s, P = 0.716). CONCLUSIONS Exercise-related histaminergic signaling appears inherent to endurance exercise and may play a role in facilitating optimal function during high-intensity endurance exercise.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that histamine-a regulator of the microcirculation-may play important roles in exercise. We have shown that the histamine-forming enzyme histidine decarboxylase (HDC) is induced in skeletal muscles by prolonged muscular work (PMW). However, histological analysis of such HDC induction is lacking due to appropriate anti-HDC antibodies being unavailable. We also showed that the inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α can induce HDC, and that PMW increases both IL-1α and IL-1β in skeletal muscles. Here, we examined the effects (a) of PMW on the histological evidence of HDC induction and (b) of IL-1β and TNF-α on HDC activity in skeletal muscles. By immunostaining using a recently introduced commercial polyclonal anti-HDC antibody, we found that cells in the endomysium and around blood vessels, and also some muscle fibers themselves, became HDC-positive after PMW. After PMW, TNF-α, but not IL-1α or IL-1β, was detected in the blood serum. The minimum intravenous dose of IL-1β that would induce HDC activity was about 1/10 that of TNF-α, while in combination they synergistically augmented HDC activity. These results suggest that PMW induces HDC in skeletal muscles, including cells in the endomysium and around blood vessels, and also some muscle fibers themselves, and that IL-1β and TNF-α may cooperatively mediate this induction.

Abstract
In humans, histamine is a molecular transducer of physical activity responses, and antihistamines modify more than 25% of the genes responding to exercise. Although the upstream signal that results in release of histamine within exercising skeletal muscle remains to be identified, it is likely a fundamental exercise response and not an allergic reaction.

Abstract
Recovery from exercise refers to the time period between the end of a bout of exercise and the subsequent return to a resting or recovered state. It also refers to specific physiological processes or states occurring after exercise that are distinct from the physiology of either the exercising or the resting states. In this context, recovery of the cardiovascular system after exercise occurs across a period of minutes to hours, during which many characteristics of the system, even how it is controlled, change over time. Some of these changes may be necessary for long-term adaptation to exercise training, yet some can lead to cardiovascular instability during recovery. Furthermore, some of these changes may provide insight into when the cardiovascular system has recovered from prior training and is physiologically ready for additional training stress. This review focuses on the most consistently observed hemodynamic adjustments and the underlying causes that drive cardiovascular recovery and will highlight how they differ following resistance and aerobic exercise. Primary emphasis will be placed on the hypotensive effect of aerobic and resistance exercise and associated mechanisms that have clinical relevance, but if left unchecked, can progress to symptomatic hypotension and syncope. Finally, we focus on the practical application of this information to strategies to maximize the benefits of cardiovascular recovery, or minimize the vulnerabilities of this state. We will explore appropriate field measures, and discuss to what extent these can guide an athlete's training.

Abstract
Pain is sensed, transmitted, and modified by a variety of mediators and receptors. Histamine is a well-known mediator of pain. In addition to their anti-histaminic effects, the classical, or 1st generation, anti-histamines (1st AHs) possess, to various degrees, anti-muscarinic, anti-serotonergic, anti-adrenergic, and other pharmacologic effects. Although there have been attempts to use 1st AHs as analgesics and/or analgesic adjuvants, the advent of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) discouraged such trials. We previously reported that in patients with temporomandibular disorders, osteoporosis, and/or osteoarthritis, the analgesic effects of certain 1st AHs (chlorpheniramine and diphenhydramine) are superior to those of the NSAIDs flurbiprofen and indomethacin. Here, we compared analgesic effects among 1st AHs and NSAIDs against responses shown by mice to intraperitoneally injected 0.7% acetic acid. Since 1st AHs are water soluble, we selected water-soluble NSAIDs. For direct comparison, drugs were intravenously injected 30 min before the above tests. Histamine-H1-receptor-deficient (H1R-KO) mice were used for evaluating H1-receptor-independent effects. The tested 1st AHs (especially cyproheptadine) displayed or tended to display analgesic effects comparable to those of NSAIDs in normal and H1R-KO mice. Our data suggest that the anti-serotonergic and/or anti-adrenergic effects of 1st AHs make important contributions to their analgesic effects. Moreover, combination of a 1st AH with an NSAID (cyclooxygenase-1 inhibitor) produced remarkably potent analgesic effects. We propose that a 1st AH, by itself or in combination with a cyclooxygenase-1 inhibitor, should undergo testing to evaluate its usefulness in analgesia.

Abstract
In humans, acute aerobic exercise elicits a sustained postexercise vasodilation within previously active skeletal muscle. This response is dependent on activation of histamine H1 and H2 receptors, but the source of intramuscular histamine remains unclear. We tested the hypothesis that interstitial histamine in skeletal muscle would be increased with exercise and would be dependent on de novo formation via the inducible enzyme histidine decarboxylase and/or mast cell degranulation. Subjects performed 1 h of unilateral dynamic knee-extension exercise or sham (seated rest). We measured the interstitial histamine concentration and local blood flow (ethanol washout) via skeletal muscle microdialysis of the vastus lateralis. In some probes, we infused either α-fluoromethylhistidine hydrochloride (α-FMH), a potent inhibitor of histidine decarboxylase, or histamine H1/H2-receptor blockers. We also measured interstitial tryptase concentrations, a biomarker of mast cell degranulation. Compared with preexercise, histamine was increased after exercise by a change (Δ) of 4.2 ± 1.8 ng/ml (P < 0.05), but not when α-FMH was administered (Δ-0.3 ± 1.3 ng/ml, P = 0.9). Likewise, local blood flow after exercise was reduced to preexercise levels by both α-FMH and H1/H2 blockade. In addition, tryptase was elevated during exercise by Δ6.8 ± 1.1 ng/ml (P < 0.05). Taken together, these data suggest that interstitial histamine in skeletal muscle increases with exercise and results from both de novo formation and mast cell degranulation. This suggests that exercise produces an anaphylactoid signal, which affects recovery, and may influence skeletal muscle blood flow during exercise.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Blood flow to previously active skeletal muscle remains elevated following an acute bout of aerobic exercise and is dependent on activation of histamine H1 and H2 receptors. The intramuscular source of histamine that drives this response to exercise has not been identified. Using intramuscular microdialysis in exercising humans, we show both mast cell degranulation and formation of histamine by histidine decarboxylase contributes to the histamine-mediated vasodilation that occurs following a bout of aerobic exercise.

Abstract
KEY POINTS Histamine is a primordial signalling molecule, capable of activating cells in an autocrine or paracrine fashion via specific cell surface receptors, in a variety of pathways that probably predate its more recent role in innate and adaptive immunity. Although histamine is normally associated with pathological conditions or allergic and anaphylactic reactions, it may contribute beneficially to the normal changes that occur within skeletal muscle during the recovery from exercise. We show that the human response to exercise includes an altered expression of thousands of protein-coding genes, and much of this response appears to be driven by histamine. Histamine may be an important molecular transducer contributing to many of the adaptations that accompany chronic exercise training. ABSTRACT Histamine is a primordial signalling molecule, capable of activating cells in an autocrine or paracrine fashion via specific cell surface receptors. In humans, aerobic exercise is followed by a post-exercise activation of histamine H1 and H2 receptors localized to the previously exercised muscle. This could trigger a broad range of cellular adaptations in response to exercise. Thus, we exploited RNA sequencing to explore the effects of H1 and H2 receptor blockade on the exercise transcriptome in human skeletal muscle tissue harvested from the vastus lateralis. We found that exercise exerts a profound influence on the human transcriptome, causing the differential expression of more than 3000 protein-coding genes. The influence of histamine blockade post-exercise was notable for 795 genes that were differentially expressed between the control and blockade condition, which represents >25% of the number responding to exercise. The broad histamine footprint on the human exercise transcriptome crosses many cellular functions, including inflammation, vascular function, metabolism, and cellular maintenance.

application of ι-carrageenan (3%) to the tibiotarsal joint plus HVPC(-);
inflamed+HVPC placebo, carrageenan application and HVPC placebo; normal+HVPC(-),
HVPC application(-); and normal control, no intervention. The HVPC(-) 100 Hz at a
submotor level was applied daily for 45 min on three consecutive days. The
variables were pain, hind-foot volume, and serum histamine and albumin assessed
before and during the 48 hours following inflammation. The variables were compared
using the t test, one-way ANOVA, nested ANOVA for repeated
measures, and the post hoc Bonferroni test. Analysis of
covariance was applied to adjust the effects of HVPC(-) by measurements of pain,
inflammation, albumin, and histamine at 24 h, and the final weight was compared to
the other groups. The significance level was set at p<0.05. RESULTS: There were no differences between the inflamed+HVPC(-) and inflamed+HVPC placebo
groups in terms of pain or edema (p>0.05). Albumin was reduced in the groups
that received the intervention, but there was no differences between them. There
was only a 24 hour increase in histamine with the normal+HVPC(-) (p=0.0001) and
inflamed+HVPC placebo groups (p=0.01) compared to the normal control group. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study suggest that HVPC(-) with the parameters
employed did not reduce pain or edema and did not change serum albumin or
histamine levels,, which indicates the inability of this resource to have a
positive effect when treating treat acute joint inflammation.

Abstract
Histamine is a neurotransmitter and chemical mediator in multiple physiological processes. Histamine H3 receptor is expressed in the nervous system, heart, and gastrointestinal tract; however, little is known about H3 receptor in skeletal muscle. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of H3 receptor in skeletal myotubes. The expression of H3 receptor and myosin heavy chain (MHC), a late myogenesis marker, was assessed by real-time PCR and immunostaining in C2C12 skeletal myogenesis and adult mid-urethral skeletal muscle tissues. H3 receptor mRNA showed a significant increase upon differentiation of C2C12 into myotubes: 1-, 26-, 91-, and 182-fold at days 0, 2, 4, and 6, respectively. H3 receptor immunostaining in differentiated C2C12 cells and adult skeletal muscles was positive and correlated with that of MHC. The functional role of H3receptor in differentiated myotubes was assessed using an H3 receptor agonist, (R)-a-methylhistamine ((R)-α-MeHA). Ca(2+) imaging, stimulated by electric pacing, was decreased by 55% after the treatment of mature C2C12 myotubes with 1μM (R)-α-MeHA for 10min and 20min, while treatment with 100nm (R)-α-MeHA for 5min caused 45% inhibition. These results suggested that H3 receptor may participate in the maintenance of the relaxed state and prevention of over-contraction in mature differentiated myotubes. The elucidation of the role of H3R in skeletal myogenesis and adult skeletal muscle may open a new direction in the treatment of skeletal muscle disorders, such as muscle weakness, atrophy, and myotonia in motion systems or peri-urethral skeletal muscle tissues.

Blood pressure regulation X: what happens when the muscle pump is lost? Post-exercise hypotension and syncope. Eur J Appl Physiol 2013; 114:561-78.

Abstract
Syncope which occurs suddenly in the setting of recovery from exercise, known as post-exercise syncope, represents a failure of integrative physiology during recovery from exercise. We estimate that between 50 and 80% of healthy individuals will develop pre-syncopal signs and symptoms if subjected to a 15-min head-up tilt following exercise. Post-exercise syncope is most often neurally mediated syncope during recovery from exercise, with a combination of factors associated with post-exercise hypotension and loss of the muscle pump contributing to the onset of the event. One can consider the initiating reduction in blood pressure as the tip of the proverbial iceberg. What is needed is a clear model of what lies under the surface; a model that puts the observational variations in context and provides a rational framework for developing strategic physical or pharmacological countermeasures to ultimately protect cerebral perfusion and avert loss of consciousness. This review summarizes the current mechanistic understanding of post-exercise syncope and attempts to categorize the variation of the physiological processes that arise in multiple exercise settings. Newer investigations into the basic integrative physiology of recovery from exercise provide insight into the mechanisms and potential interventions that could be developed as countermeasures against post-exercise syncope. While physical counter maneuvers designed to engage the muscle pump and augment venous return are often found to be beneficial in preventing a significant drop in blood pressure after exercise, countermeasures that target the respiratory pump and pharmacological countermeasures based on the involvement of histamine receptors show promise.

Abstract
A single bout of aerobic exercise produces a postexercise hypotension associated with a sustained postexercise vasodilatation of the previously exercised muscle. Work over the last few years has determined key pathways for the obligatory components of postexercise hypotension and sustained postexercise vasodilatation and points the way to possible benefits that may result from these robust responses. During the exercise recovery period, the combination of centrally mediated decreases in sympathetic nerve activity with a reduced signal transduction from sympathetic nerve activation into vasoconstriction, as well as local vasodilator mechanisms, contributes to the fall in arterial blood pressure seen after exercise. Important findings from recent studies include the recognition that skeletal muscle afferents may play a primary role in postexercise resetting of the baroreflex via discrete receptor changes within the nucleus tractus solitarii and that sustained postexercise vasodilatation of the previously active skeletal muscle is primarily the result of histamine H(1) and H(2) receptor activation. Future research directions include further exploration of the potential benefits of these changes in the longer term adaptations associated with exercise training, as well as investigation of how the recovery from exercise may provide windows of opportunity for targeted interventions in patients with hypertension and diabetes.

Abstract
A sustained postexercise vasodilatation, which is histamine receptor mediated, has been observed following single bouts of whole-body exercise, but the mechanisms that regulate activation of histamine receptors following exercise are undefined. Exploration of vasodilatation after small muscle-mass dynamic or resistance exercise could provide novel insight into the pathways responsible for histamine receptor activation. We hypothesized that there would be a vasodilatation of the previously exercised limb following small muscle-mass dynamic and resistance exercise, which would be mediated by histamine receptors. We studied men and women before and after single-leg dynamic (n = 9) or resistance knee-extension exercise (n = 12) on control and blockade days (combined oral H(1) and H(2) receptor antagonism with fexofenadine and ranitidine). We measured arterial blood pressure (automated brachial oscillometry) and femoral artery blood flow (Doppler ultrasound). Dynamic exercise elevated leg vascular conductance in the active leg by 27.2 ± 8.4% at 60 min postexercise (P < 0.05 versus pre-exercise), but did not alter conductance in the rested leg (change, 4.6 ± 3.5%; P = 0.8 versus pre-exercise). The rise in conductance was abolished on the blockade day (change, 3.7 ± 5.1%; P = 0.8 versus pre-exercise, P = 0.2 versus control). Resistance exercise did not produce a sustained vasodilatation (change, -4.3 ± 4.7% at 60 min postexercise; P = 0.7 versus pre-exercise). These data indicate that histamine receptors are activated following dynamic, but not resistance, exercise. Furthermore, these data suggest that local factors associated with aerobic exercise, and not systemic factors or factors associated with high muscle force, are responsible for activation of histamine receptors in the previously exercised muscle.

Abstract
We investigated the immunopharmacological aspects of innate immune responses via Toll-like receptors (TLRs), NOD1 and NOD2, in terms of induction of the histamine-forming enzyme, histidine decarboxylase (HDC), activity in mice. Intravenous injection of TLR4-agonistic synthetic lipid A definitely induced HDC activity in the liver, spleen, and lungs, especially the lungs, in mice, where maximum activity was induced about 3 h after the injection of lipid A. The TLR2/6 agonistic synthetic diacyl-type lipopeptide FSL-1 and TLR3-agonistic poly I:C were also effective in inducing HDC, while the NOD2-agonistic synthetic muramyldipeptide (MDP) and NOD1-agonistic synthetic FK156 and FK565 exhibited only weak activities in this respect. Mice primed with intravenous injection of NOD1 or NOD2 agonists produced higher HDC activity following the 4-6 h later intravenous challenge with the above TLR agonists. Among the priming agents, FK565 exhibited the strongest activity, and it was effective via various administration routes - intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, as well as intravenous injection; furthermore, oral (gastric) administration was effective, although it needed a dose 10 times higher than that required for other administration routes. These findings suggest that HDC is induced in association with TLRs and NOD1/2, and that the newly formed histamine by the induced HDC might play important roles in the regulation of inflammatory and immune responses in various organs.

Abstract
Background Low level connective tissue inflammation has been proposed to play a role in thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO). The aim of this study was to investigate this postulate by a musculoskeletal approach together with biochemical parameters. Methods 13 patients with TAO and 16 controls were examined. Erythrocyte levels of Zn, Cu, Ca2+, Mg, and Fe were determined. The musculoskeletal evaluation included observational data on body posture with emphasis on the orbit-head region. The angular foot position in the frontal plane was quantified following gait observation. The axial orientation of the legs and feet was evaluated in an unloaded supine position. Functional propioceptive tests based on stretch stimuli were done by using foot inversion and foot rotation. Results Alterations in the control group included neck tilt in 3 cases, asymmetrical foot angle during gait in 2, and a reaction to foot inversion in 5 cases. TAO patients presented facial asymmetry with displaced eye fissure inclination (mean 9.1°) as well as tilted head-on-neck position (mean 5.7°). A further asymmetry feature was external rotation of the legs and feet (mean 27°). Both foot inversion as well as foot rotation induced a condition of neuromuscular deficit. This condition could be regulated by gentle acupressure either on the lateral abdomen or the lateral ankle at the acupuncture points gall bladder 26 or bladder 62, respectively. In 5 patients, foot rotation produced a phenomenon of moving toes in the contra lateral foot. In addition foot rotation was accompanied by an audible tendon snapping. Lower erythrocyte Zn levels and altered correlations between Ca2+, Mg, and Fe were found in TAO. Conclusion This whole body observational study has revealed axial deviations and body asymmetry as well as the phenomenon of moving toes in TAO. The most common finding was an arch-like displacement of the body, i.e. eccentric position, with foot inversion and head tilt to the contra lateral side and tendon snapping. We propose that eccentric muscle action over time can be the basis for a low grade inflammatory condition. The general implications of this model and its relations to Zn and Se will be discussed.

Abstract
To examine the potential role of the histamine-forming enzyme, histidine decarboxylase (HDC), in oral inflammation and disease, we studied HDC activity in oral tissue after induction by bacterial agents. Following injection of E. coli-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into mice, we measured the quantitative changes in HDC activity over time in dental pulp and gingiva. Oral tissue taken from individual mice was insufficient for detecting precise HDC activity, thus, we combined dental pulp or gingival tissues from four mice and assayed them over the course of 24 h. Our results indicate that LPS stimulated marked elevations of HDC activity in dental pulp and gingiva. This increase reached a maximum at 6 h after LPS injection and remained detectable at for least 24 h. Since mast cells are known to produce histamine through a difference mechanism than HDC induction, we compared LPS-induced HDC activity in dental pulp and gingiva to that in ear skin (a tissue rich in mast cells) and liver (a tissues lacking in mast cells). LPS also induced a marked increase in the HDC activity in liver and ear skin at 6 h after LPS injection. By contrast, saline injection had no effect on the HDC activity in any of the four tissues, although basal levels of HDC activity in ear skin was markedly higher than basal HDC activity in the other three kinds of tissues. Still, the relative increase in LPS-induced HDC activity in dental pulp and gingiva were much greater than that in ear skin. Since liver are devoid of mast cells and ear skin is considered the tissue richest in mast cells, the differences in HDC activity between tissues indicates that histamine induced by LPS may be produced by cells other than mast cells through another mechanism of action. These results also suggest that histamine produced in oral tissues in response to bacterial agents such as LPS could be involved in development of pulpitis or gingivitis (periodontitis), the most common diseases in the dental clinic, and that efforts to inhibit HDC activity, which elevates histamine levels in oral tissues, might offer the basis for novel treatment strategies.

Abstract
Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs), powerful anti-bone-resorptive drugs, have inflammatory side effects, while histamine is not only an inflammatory mediator, but also an immuno-modifier. In murine models, a single intraperitoneal injection of an N-BP induces various inflammatory reactions, including the induction of the histamine-forming enzyme histidine decarboxylase (HDC) in tissues important in immune responses (such as liver, lungs, spleen, and bone marrow). Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1 and TNF are also capable of inducing HDC. We reported previously that in mice, (i) the inflammatory actions of N-BPs depend on IL-1, (ii) N-BP pretreatment augments both LPS-stimulated IL-1 production and HDC induction, and (iii) the co-administration of clodronate (a non-N-BP) with an N-BP inhibits the latter's inflammatory actions (including HDC induction). Here, we add the new findings that (a) pretreatment with alendronate (a typical N-BP) augments both IL-1- and TNF-induced HDC elevations, (b) LPS pretreatment augments the alendronate-induced HDC elevation, (c) co-administration of clodronate with alendronate abolishes these augmentations, (d) alendronate does not induce HDC in IL-1-deficient mice even if they are pretreated with LPS, and (e) alendronate increases IL-1beta in all tissues tested, but not in the serum. These results suggest that (1) there are mutual augmentations between alendronate and immuno-stimulants (IL-1, TNF, and LPS) in HDC induction, (2) tissue IL-1beta is important in alendronate-stimulated HDC induction, and (3) combination use of clodronate may have the potential to reduce the inflammatory effects of alendronate (we previously found that clodronate, conveniently, does not inhibit the anti-bone-resorptive activity of alendronate).

Abstract
Histamine modulates immune responses. There are at least two ways histamine might be supplied: one is its release from cells that pool pre-formed histamine and the other is its de novo formation via induction of histidine decarboxylase (HDC). Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1 induce a marked elevation of HDC activity in various tissues or organs. To examine the contribution of mast cells to HDC induction in mice given LPS or IL-1, we examined the effects of LPS and IL-1 on HDC activity and/or histamine content in various organs (liver, lung, spleen or bone marrow) in mast cell-deficient mice (W/Wv), their normal littermates (+/+) and BALB/c mice deficient in IL-1alpha, IL-1beta and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha (IL-1alpha beta/TNFalphaKO mice). In non-stimulated mice, the histamine in the lung and spleen was contained largely within mast cells. The LPS-stimulated increase in HDC activity in a given organ was similar between +/+ and W/W(v) mice, and between IL-1alpha beta/TNFalphaKO BALB/c and control BALB/c mice, and led to increases in histamine. In W/Wv and +/+ mice, IL-1alpha also elevated HDC activity. These results suggest that (i) in liver, lung and spleen, either the major cells supplying histamine via HDC induction in response to LPS and IL-1 are not mast cells, or mast cells are not a prerequisite for the induction of HDC; (ii) the cells in which HDC is induced by LPS and IL-1 are similar or identical in a given organ; and (iii) neither IL-1 nor TNF-alpha is a prerequisite for the induction of HDC by LPS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Flu-like symptoms are common, early transient side effects of paclitaxel chemotherapy. We hypothesized that these symptoms may be due to release of inflammatory cytokines in response to treatment. The objective of this study was to assess changes in plasma levels of interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, and TNF-alpha during chemotherapy and to correlate these changes with musculoskeletal symptoms. METHODS Ninety patients with breast cancer were included; 70 patients received single agent paclitaxel either weekly or every 3 weeks and 20 received FAC (5-FU, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide) chemotherapy. Fifteen healthy volunteers were included as controls. Cytokines and symptoms were measured before starting therapy, on day 3 and on the last day of one treatment cycle. RESULTS At baseline, all subjects had measurable levels of IL-8 but only 49% had IL-12, 45% had IL-10, 32% had IL-6, and 21% had IL-1beta or TNF-alpha in their plasma. There was no difference in baseline cytokine levels between cancer patients and the healthy volunteers. Schedule-dependent transient changes in the levels of 3 cytokines were observed in the paclitaxel treated patients. In the every 3-week paclitaxel group, IL-6 and IL-8 increased whereas in the weekly paclitaxel group IL-10 increased significantly compared to baseline. Fatigue and flu-like symptoms were also worse on day 3. In the weekly paclitaxel group, increase in IL-10 level correlated positively with joint pain (p=0.003). In the every 3-week paclitaxel group, increase in IL-8 level correlated positively with flu-like symptom (p=0.008). In the FAC-treated group and among the healthy volunteers none of these cytokines increased significantly. CONCLUSIONS Weekly paclitaxel induces transient increase in IL-10 levels whereas every 3-week higher dose treatments induce IL-8 and IL-6 in the plasma. These changes correlate with joint pain and flu-like symptoms.

Abstract
Histamine and its receptors, including the recently discovered receptors (H(3) and H(4)), novel sources of histamine, and the place of histamine in mediator networks continue to be areas of great interest. The 4 major subtypes of histamine receptors, H(1) to H(4), differ in their location, second messengers, and histamine-binding characteristics. In addition, it would appear that different histamine receptor agonists and antagonists bind to different portions of the receptor complex. A fifth receptor subtype, the intracellular H(IC), has only been defined by its location within cell types that are not traditionally associated with histamine. In airway tissue, most cells express at least 1 subtype of histamine receptor; however, blockade of these receptors does not completely abolish the inflammatory response. In addition, some H(1)-antihistamines might also exert anti-inflammatory effects by pathways independent of H(1)-receptor binding. Studies of selected second-generation H(1)-antihistamines have shown that these agents inhibit the release of certain cytokines from basophils, acting at a point downstream from the calcium signaling pathway. It has not yet been determined whether this action represents a class effect.

Abstract
Histamine is involved in the development of gastric lesions. To examine the contribution of the histamine-forming enzyme, histidine decarboxylase, to drug-induced gastric lesions, we compared the effects of aspirin, indomethacin and dexamethasone on histidine decarboxylase activity in mice. Administration of these drugs, orally or intraperitoneally, elevated histidine decarboxylase activity in the stomach but not in the liver, lung or spleen, dexamethasone being the most potent. In contrast, acetaminophen (a non-ulcerogenic drug) was inactive. These results and our previously reported findings (elevation of histidine decarboxylase activity by lipopolysaccharide, interleukin-1 and tumour necrosis factor, and by different types of stress) suggest that an elevation of histidine decarboxylase activity in the stomach may be a common feature of the responses to ulcerogenic stimuli. The possible participation of histidine decarboxylase in gastric lesions is discussed on the basis of the known actions of histamine, our findings and the effect of histamine H(2) receptor antagonists on histidine decarboxylase activity.

Abstract
Disorders of the microcirculation and reduced resistance to infection are major complications in diabetes. Histamine enhances capillary permeability, and may also reduce cellular immunity. Here we demonstrate that streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes in mice not only enhances the activity of the histamine-forming enzyme, histidine decarboxylase (HDC), but also augments the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced elevation of HDC activity in various tissues, resulting in a production of histamine. The augmentation of HDC activity occurred as early as 2 days after STZ injection, but was not seen in nondiabetic mice. When given to STZ-treated mice, nicotinamide, an inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase, reduced both the elevation of blood glucose and the elevations of HDC activity and histamine production. These results suggest that hyperglycemia may initiate a sequence of events leading not only to an enhancement of basal HDC activity, but also to a sensitization of mice to the HDC-inducing action of LPS. We hypothesize that bacterial infections and diabetic complications may mutually exacerbate one another because both involved an induction of HDC.

Abstract
When a mouse is put into a cylinder too narrow for it to turn (its front end being blocked with a thin plastic strip), the mouse gnaws away the plastic to escape. Hence, the weight reduction in the plastic can be used as an index of 'gnawing activity (GA).' GA was high at first, but decreased with time. Training augmented GA, but not the activity of the histamine-forming enzyme (histidine decarboxylase [HDC]: a proposed marker of muscle fatigue) in the masseter muscle. In trained mice, GA was higher at night than in the daytime, and was decreased by starvation. In mice prevented from reaching the strip, the elevation of serum cortisol was greater than that seen in mice able to gnaw at it. As such gnawing is a form of voluntary behavior, these results suggest that our experimental system may be useful for (i) the quantitative study of voluntary muscle activity associated with physical or mental fatigue or motivation, and (ii) the study of an animal's response to stress when it has, or alternatively does not have, an apparent way of escape.

Abstract
Although characterized by a variety of symptoms, chronic widespread pain is the primary complaint bringing most patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) into the clinic. The etiology of this painful condition is unknown, and any possible relationship between pain and the many other symptoms of FMS is unclear. This article focuses on the unique characteristics of nociception in patients with FMS. The intent is to present criteria that should be considered in the search for biological events that contribute to FMS pain. Based on this approach, examples are proposed of factors that fulfill some criteria and may, therefore, deserve further study for their possible role in pain associated with FMS.

Abstract
Histamine is a classical, but still interesting inflammatory mediator. Many people have long believed that histamine is derived from mast cells or basophils alone. However, the histamine-forming enzyme, histidine decarboxylase (HDC), is induced in a variety of tissues in response (i) to gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial components (lipopolysaccharides, peptidoglycan, and enterotoxin A) and (ii) to various cytokines (IL-1, IL-3, IL-12, IL-18, TNF, G-CSF, and GM-CSF). HDC is induced even in mast-cell-deficient mice. The histamine newly formed via the induction of HDC is released immediately and may be involved in a variety of immune responses. Reviewing our work and that of Schayer and Kahlson, the pioneers in this field, lead us to the conclusion that nowadays we need to understand that histamine can be produced via the induction of HDC by a mechanism coupled with the cytokine network. We call this histamine "neohistamine", to distinguish it from the classical histamine derived from mast cells or basophils. Neohistamine is involved in physiological reactions, inflammation, immune responses and a variety of diseases such as periodontitis, muscle fatigue (or temporomandibular disorders), stress- or drug-induced gastric ulcers, rheumatoid arthritis, complications in diabetes, hepatitis, allograft rejection, allergic reactions, tumor growth, and inflammatory side effects of aminobisphosphonates.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-12, a potent antitumour cytokine, has inflammatory side effects. We examined the effect of IL-12 on the histamine-forming enzyme, histidine decarboxylase (HDC). When injected intraperitoneally into C3H/HeN mice, IL-12 exhibited antitumour activity against squamous epithelial tumour cells (NR-S1 cells). At doses that produced this antitumour activity, IL-12 also enhanced HDC activity in the lung, liver, spleen and bone marrow. Compared with that induced by IL-1, the elevation of HDC activity induced by IL-12 was low and slow. However, daily injections of IL-12, but not of IL-1, produced a cumulative effect on HDC activities, an accumulation of exudate in the thorax, and death. Antagonists of H1 and H2 receptors and an inhibitor of HDC all failed to prevent the pulmonary exudation and death. These results suggest that IL-12 is an inflammatory cytokine capable of stimulating the synthesis of histamine, but that histamine itself may be not the direct cause of the pulmonary exudation and/or lethality induced by IL-12.

Abstract
The effects of different types of stress (water bathing, cold, restraint, and prolonged walking) on histidine decarboxylase (HDC) activity in masseter, quadriceps femoris, and pectoralis superficial muscles, and in the stomach were examined in mice. All of these stresses elevated gastric HDC activity. Although water bathing, in which muscle activity was slight, was sufficiently stressful to produce gastric hemorrhage and to increase gastric HDC activity, it produced no detectable elevation of HDC activity in any of the muscles examined. The other stresses all elevated HDC activity in all three muscles. We devised two methods of restraint, one accompanied by mastication and the other not. The former elevated HDC activity in the masseter muscle, but the latter did not. These results suggest that 1) HDC activity in the stomach is an index of responses to stress, 2) the elevation of HDC activity in skeletal muscles during stress is induced partly or wholly by muscle activity and/or muscle tension, and 3) stress itself does not always induce an elevation of HDC activity in skeletal muscles.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) produced by Gram-negative bacteria is an important cause of inflammation. Aminobisphosphonates are potent inhibitors of bone resorption but have inflammatory side-effects. Here, the effects of LPS from Prevotella intermedia (a prevalent Gram-negative bacterium both in periodontitis and endodontal infections) and alendronate (an aminobisphosphonate) on the activity of the histamine-forming enzyme, histidine decarboxylase (HDC), were examined in mouse mandible. Intravenous injection of P. intermedia LPS increased HDC activity in the mandible, maximal activity being induced within 3-6 h of the injection. The elevation of HDC activity was dependent on the dose of LPS, 10 microg/kg (0.25 microg/mouse) producing a significant elevation in enzyme activity. Intraperitoneal injection of alendronate (40 micromol/kg) also produced an increase in HDC activity. Moreover, the elevation of HDC activity induced by P. intermedia LPS was markedly augmented in mice given alendronate 3 days before the LPS injection. These results (i) suggest that P. intermedia LPS may stimulate the synthesis of histamine in the mandible and that the newly formed histamine may make at least some contribution to the development of inflammation (apical periodontitis and/or osteomyelitis); (ii) should encourage the clinical testing of antihistaminergic agents against inflammation; and (iii) confirm that care needs to be taken when administering aminobisphosphonates to patients.

Abstract
Aminobisphosphonates (aminoBPs) are potent inhibitors of bone resorption. However, they cause undesirable inflammatory reactions, including fever, in humans. Intraperitoneal injection of aminoBPs into mice also induces inflammatory reactions, including a prolonged elevation of the activity of the histamine-forming enzyme, histidine decarboxylase (HDC). Because interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a typical pyrogen and a strong inducer of HDC, we examined whether aminoBPs induce inflammatory reactions in mice deficient in genes for both IL-1alpha and IL-1beta (IL-1-KO mice). In control mice, aminoBPs induced an elevation of HDC activity and other inflammatory reactions (enlargement of the spleen, atrophy of the thymus, exudate in the thorax and increase in granulocytic cells in the peritoneal cavity). These responses were all weak or undetectable in IL-1-KO mice. We have previously shown that lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) from Escherichia coli and Prevotella intermedia (a prevalent gram-negative bacterium both in periodontitis and endodontal infections) are capable of inducing HDC activity in various tissues in mice. In control mice treated with an aminoBP, the LPS-induced elevations of serum IL-1 (alpha and beta) and tissue HDC activity were both markedly augmented. However, such an augmentation of HDC activity was small or undetectable in IL-1-KO mice. These results, taken together with our previous findings (i) suggest that IL-1 is involved in the aminoBP-induced inflammatory reactions and (ii) lead us to think that under some conditions, inflammatory reactions induced by gram-negative bacteria might be augmented in patients treated with an aminoBP. In this study, we also obtained a result suggesting that IL-1-deficiency might be compensated by a second, unidentified, mechanism serving to induce HDC in response to LPS when IL-1 is lacking.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to verify the possible appearance in the blood of bradykinin (BK) and des-Arg(9)-bradykinin (des-Arg(9)-BK) after eccentric exercise in 13 male subjects. Eccentric exercise (5 x 10 leg presses at 120% maximal voluntary concentric contraction) resulted in muscle damage and inflammation, as suggested by the significant increase in serum creatine kinase activity (from 204 +/- 41 to 322 +/- 63 U/l 12 h postexercise) and by severe lasting pain, which also peaked at 12 h postexercise. Blood BK and des-Arg(9)-BK concentrations were measured by competitive enzyme immunoassays using highly specific polyclonal rabbit IgG. Des-Arg(9)-BK concentration was not modified (preexercise: 44 +/- 14 pmol/l; pooled postexercise: 47 +/- 4 pmol/l). In contrast, BK concentration significantly increased immediately after the exercise session (68 +/- 9 vs. 42 +/- 3 pmol/l preexercise) and returned to basal values at 12, 24, and 48 h (pooled value: 40 +/- 4 pmol/l). This observation suggests that the inflammatory process due to eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage could be mediated in part by BK.

Abstract
Intrathecal (i.t.) injection (between lumbar vertebrae 5 and 6) into mice of a markedly low dose of IL-1alpha (3x10(-4) fmol or 5.4 fg in 5 microl per mouse) induced behaviors involving scratching, biting, and licking of non-stimulated hindpaws. The IL-1-induced behaviors appeared within 10 min of the injection of IL-1alpha, peaked at 20-40 min, and had disappeared 60 min after the injection. The IL-1-induced behaviors were similar to the nociceptive responses induced in mice by i.t. injection of substance P (SP) or subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of formalin into the footpad. The IL-1-induced behaviors were suppressed by intraperitoneal morphine, indicating that they are nociceptive responses. The nociceptive responses induced by 3x10(-4) (5.4 fg) of IL-1alpha were almost completely suppressed by co-injection of 0.3 fmol (7.2 pg) of an IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra). An antiserum against substance P, but not an antiserum against somatostatin, suppressed the IL-1-induced nociceptive responses. The nociceptive responses induced by s.c. injection of 2% formalin into the footpad were also inhibited by i.t. injection of 30 pmol (720 ng) of IL-1ra. These results suggest that IL-1 may play a role in hyperalgesia in mice by acting as a factor augmenting pain transmission in the spinal cord at least in part by either directly or indirectly releasing substance P.

Abstract
As an approach to clarifying the molecular basis of pain and fatigue in muscles involved in temporomandibular disorders, we examined the activity of histidine decarboxylase (HDC), the enzyme which forms histamine, in the masseter muscles of mice. In the resting muscle, HDC activity was very low. Direct electrical stimulation of the muscle markedly elevated HDC activity. HDC activity rose within 3 hrs of the electrical stimulation, peaked at 6 to 8 hrs, and then gradually declined. Intraperitoneal injection of a small amount of interleukin-1 (IL-1) (from 1 to 10 microg/kg) produced a similar elevation of HDC activity in the masseter muscle. We also examined the effect of an antihistamine, chlorphenylamine (CP), on temporomandibular disorders in humans and compared it with that of an anti-inflammatory analgesic, flurbiprofen (FB). Two groups received one or the other of the drugs daily for 7 days, and they were asked about their signs and symptoms before and after the treatment. A positive evaluation of their treatment was made by 74% of the CP group, but by only 48% of the FB group. Although the effects of CP on the limitation of mouth-opening and on joint noise were negligible, about 50% of the CP group answered positively concerning the drug's effect on spontaneous pain or pain induced by chewing or mouth-opening. The positive evaluation for CP (50%) in relieving associated symptoms (headache or shoulder stiffness) was significantly greater than for FB (13%). FB showed effectiveness similar to but sometimes weaker than that of CP on several symptoms. On the basis of these and previous results and the known actions of histamine, we propose that the histamine newly formed following the induction of HDC activity, which is itself mediated by IL-1, may be involved in inducing pain and, possibly, stiffness in muscles in temporomandibular disorders.

Abstract
1. Injection of interleukin-1 (IL-1) into pylorus-ligated rats has been shown strongly to inhibit gastric secretion. However, in the present study, we found that an intraperitoneal injection of IL-1 into intact (non-pylorus-ligated) fasted mice rapidly (within 30 min) induced an accumulation of gastric acid ('early response'). When the dose of IL-1 was larger, the accumulation lasted for a longer period. 2. Injection of IL-1 also caused a later elevation of the activity of histidine decarboxylase (HDC), the histamine-forming enzyme, in the stomach ('later response'). 3. Cimetidine, an antagonist of histamine H2-receptors, suppressed the accumulation of gastric acid in both the early and later periods. An irreversible inhibitor of HDC, alpha-fluoromethylhistidine, partially inhibited the accumulation in the later period. 4. IL-1, when injected 1 h after feeding in mice fasted overnight, markedly retarded gastric emptying. 5. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or endotoxin from E. coli both had IL-1-like effects on the stomach, and their effects are presumably mediated by IL-1. 6. These results support the idea that an inhibition of gastric emptying and an elevation of HDC activity in the stomach may explain the findings that a long-lasting accumulation of gastric acid is induced by IL-1 despite its potent inhibition of gastric acid secretion. 7. On the basis of these results, and in the light of the known actions of histamine, the possible roles of IL-1 in gastric inflammation and ulceration are discussed.
