Abstract
Histamine can change the force of cardiac contraction and alter the beating rate in mammals, including humans. However, striking species and regional differences have been observed. Depending on the species and the cardiac region (atrium versus ventricle) studied, the contractile, chronotropic, dromotropic, and bathmotropic effects of histamine vary. Histamine is present and is produced in the mammalian heart. Thus, histamine may exert autocrine or paracrine effects in the mammalian heart. Histamine uses at least four heptahelical receptors: H1, H2, H3 and H4. Depending on the species and region studied, cardiomyocytes express only histamine H1 or only histamine H2 receptors or both. These receptors are not necessarily functional concerning contractility. We have considerable knowledge of the cardiac expression and function of histamine H2 receptors. In contrast, we have a poor understanding of the cardiac role of the histamine H1 receptor. Therefore, we address the structure, signal transduction, and expressional regulation of the histamine H1 receptor with an eye on its cardiac role. We point out signal transduction and the role of the histamine H1 receptor in various animal species. This review aims to identify gaps in our knowledge of cardiac histamine H1 receptors. We highlight where the published research shows disagreements and requires a new approach. Moreover, we show that diseases alter the expression and functional effects of histamine H1 receptors in the heart. We found that antidepressive drugs and neuroleptic drugs might act as antagonists of cardiac histamine H1 receptors, and believe that histamine H1 receptors in the heart might be attractive targets for drug therapy. The authors believe that a better understanding of the role of histamine H1 receptors in the human heart might be clinically relevant for improving drug therapy.

Histamine activates an intracellular Ca 2+ signal in normal human lung fibroblast WI-38 cells. Front Cell Dev Biol 2022; 10:991659.

Abstract
Histamine is an inflammatory mediator that can be released from mast cells to induce airway remodeling and cause persistent airflow limitation in asthma. In addition to stimulating airway smooth muscle cell constriction and hyperplasia, histamine promotes pulmonary remodeling by inducing fibroblast proliferation, contraction, and migration. It has long been known that histamine receptor 1 (H1R) mediates the effects of histamine on human pulmonary fibroblasts through an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), but the underlying signaling mechanisms are still unknown. Herein, we exploited single-cell Ca2+ imaging to assess the signal transduction pathways whereby histamine generates intracellular Ca2+ signals in the human fetal lung fibroblast cell line, WI-38. WI-38 fibroblasts were loaded with the Ca2+-sensitive fluorophore, FURA-2/AM, and challenged with histamine in the absence and presence of specific pharmacological inhibitors to dissect the Ca2+ release/entry pathways responsible for the onset of the Ca2+ response. Histamine elicited complex intracellular Ca2+ signatures in WI-38 fibroblasts throughout a concentration range spanning between 1 µM and 1 mM. In accord, the Ca2+ response to histamine adopted four main temporal patterns, which were, respectively, termed peak, peak-oscillations, peak-plateau-oscillations, and peak-plateau. Histamine-evoked intracellular Ca2+ signals were abolished by pyrilamine, which selectively blocks H1R, and significantly reduced by ranitidine, which selectively inhibits H2R. Conversely, the pharmacological blockade of H3R and H4R did not affect the complex increase in [Ca2+]i evoked by histamine in WI-38 fibroblasts. In agreement with these findings, histamine-induced intracellular Ca2+ signals were initiated by intracellular Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum through inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptors (InsP3R) and sustained by store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOCs). Conversely, L-type voltage-operated Ca2+ channels did not support histamine-induced extracellular Ca2+ entry. A preliminary transcriptomic analysis confirmed that WI-38 human lung fibroblasts express all the three InsP3R isoforms as well as STIM2 and Orai3, which represent the molecular components of SOCs. The pharmacological blockade of InsP3 and SOC, therefore, could represent an alternative strategy to prevent the pernicious effects of histamine on lung fibroblasts in asthmatic patients.

Abstract
The immune-regulatory compound histamine is involved in the metabolism of the essential skin component hyaluronan (HA). We previously reported that histamine up-regulates the expression of HYBID (hyaluronan-binding protein involved in hyaluronan depolymerization, also called CEMIP or KIAA1199), which plays a key role in HA degradation. However, no information is available about histamine's effects on HA synthase (HAS) expression, the molecular sizes of HA species produced, and histamine receptors and their signaling pathways in skin fibroblasts. Moreover, histamine's effects on photoaged skin remain elusive. Here, we show that histamine increases HA degradation by up-regulating HYBID and down-regulating HAS2 in human skin fibroblasts in a dose- and time-dependent manner and thereby decreases the total amounts and sizes of newly produced HA. Histamine H1 blocker abrogated the histamine effects on HYBID up-regulation, HAS2 suppression, and HA degradation. Histamine H1 agonist exhibited effects on HA levels, composition, and breakdown similar to those of histamine. Of note, blockade of protein kinase Cδ or PI3K-Akt signaling abolished histamine-mediated HYBID stimulation and HAS2 suppression, respectively. Immunohistochemical experiments revealed a significant ∼2-fold increase in tryptase-positive mast cells in photoaged skin, where HYBID and HAS2 expression levels were increased and decreased, respectively, compared with photoprotected skin. These results indicate that histamine controls HA metabolism by up-regulating HYBID and down-regulating HAS2 via distinct signaling pathways downstream of histamine receptor H1. They further suggest that histamine may contribute to photoaged skin damage by skewing HA metabolism toward degradation.

Abstract
Cell contraction force plays an important role in wound healing, inflammation,angiogenesis and metastasis. This study describes a novel method to quantify single cell contraction force in vitro using human aortic adventitial fibroblasts embedded in a collagen gel. The technique is based on a depth sensing nano-indentation tester to measure the thickness and elasticity of collagen gels containing stimulated fibroblasts and a microscopy imaging system to estimate the gel area. In parallel, a simple theoretical model has been developed to calculate cell contraction force based on the measured parameters. Histamine (100 mM) was used to stimulate fibroblast contraction while the myosin light chain kinase inhibitor ML-7 (25 mM) was used to inhibit cell contraction. The collagen matrix used in the model provides a physiological environment for fibroblast contraction studies. Measurement of changes in collagen gel elasticity and thickness arising from histamine treatments provides a novel convenient technique to measure cell contraction force within a collagen matrix. This study demonstrates that histamine can elicit a significant increase in contraction force of fibroblasts embedded in collagen,while the Young's modulus of the gel decreases due to the gel degradation.

Abstract
Aminopeptidase N (APN) or CD13 is a conserved type II integral membrane zinc-dependent metalloprotease in the M1 family of ectoenzymes. APN is abundant in the kidneys and central nervous system. Identified substrates include Angiotensin III (Ang III); neuropeptides, including enkephalins and endorphins; and homones, including kallidan and somatostatin. It is developmentally expressed, a myelomonocytic marker for leukemias, and a receptor for coronovirus. There is evolving support for APN in the regulation of arterial blood pressure and the pathogenesis of hypertension. In rodent strains, intracerebraventricular (i.c.v.) infusions of APN reduces, while inhibitors of APN activity have a pressor effect on blood pressure. Dysregulation of central APN has been linked to the pathogenesis of hypertension in the spontaneously hypertensive rat. There is evidence that renal tubule APN inhibits Na flux and plays a mechanistic role in salt-adaptation. A functional polymorphism of the ANP gene has been identified in the Dahl salt-sensitive rat. Signaling by APN impacting on blood pressure is likely mediated by regulation of the metabolism of Ang III to Ang IV. Whether APN regulates arterial blood pressure in humans or is a therapeutic target for hypertension are subjects for future exploration.

Abstract
Two common disorders of the elderly are heart failure and Alzheimer disease (AD). Heart failure usually results from dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). DCM of unknown cause in families has recently been shown to result from genetic disease, highlighting newly discovered disease mechanisms. AD is the most frequent neurodegenerative disease of older Americans. Familial AD is caused most commonly by presenilin 1 (PSEN1) or presenilin 2 (PSEN2) mutations, a discovery that has greatly advanced the field. The presenilins are also expressed in the heart and are critical to cardiac development. We hypothesized that mutations in presenilins may also be associated with DCM and that their discovery could provide new insight into the pathogenesis of DCM and heart failure. A total of 315 index patients with DCM were evaluated for sequence variation in PSEN1 and PSEN2. Families positive for mutations underwent additional clinical, genetic, and functional studies. A novel PSEN1 missense mutation (Asp333Gly) was identified in one family, and a single PSEN2 missense mutation (Ser130Leu) was found in two other families. Both mutations segregated with DCM and heart failure. The PSEN1 mutation was associated with complete penetrance and progressive disease that resulted in the necessity of cardiac transplantation or in death. The PSEN2 mutation showed partial penetrance, milder disease, and a more favorable prognosis. Calcium signaling was altered in cultured skin fibroblasts from PSEN1 and PSEN2 mutation carriers. These data indicate that PSEN1 and PSEN2 mutations are associated with DCM and heart failure and implicate novel mechanisms of myocardial disease.

Abstract
CONTEXT Fibrotic remodeling, especially of the tubule wall, in testes of infertile men is common, but reasons or consequences of these striking changes are not known. Based on cell culture and ex vivo studies, we previously suggested that mast cells via their products tryptase and histamine are involved in the development of fibrosis. However, studies in a relevant human testicular model are required to further test this hypothesis and the mechanisms of testicular fibrosis in general. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was the isolation, culture, and characterization of adult human testicular peritubular cells. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTIONS Peritubular cells were obtained from biopsies of men suffering from obstructive azoospermia (n = 8) and varicocele (n = 2) but displaying normal spermatogenesis. RESULTS Explant cultures were obtained from all biopsies. Immunostaining of the cultured cells and corresponding paraffin-embedded tissues with antibodies against markers of fibroblasts (CD90/Thy-1) and smooth muscle cells (alpha-smooth muscle actin) clearly proved their origin from the peritubular region. These cells displayed morphological features of myofibroblasts, and gene array analyses as well as immunohistochemistry revealed the predominant expression of extracellular matrix genes and genes coding for basement membrane components. The cultured cells retain receptors for the major mast cell products histamine and tryptase. The addition of histamine (100 microm) and the tryptase agonist peptide SLIGKV (10 microm) resulted in a transient increase in intracellular calcium levels, confirming the functionality of the receptors. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that human peritubular cells are a novel model for the investigation of paracrine, including mast cell initiated, interactions in the human testis, which will allow the study of fibrotic processes underlying male idiopathic infertility.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) is activated in response to various inflammatory mediators and contributes significantly to the endothelial barrier breakdown. However, the mechanisms underlying PKC-mediated permeability regulation are not well understood. We prepared microvascular myocardial endothelial cells from both wild-type (WT) and caveolin-1-deficient mice. Activation of PKC by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) (100 nM) for 30 min induced intercellular gap formation and fragmentation of VE-cadherin immunoreactivity in WT but not in caveolin-1-deficient monolayers. To test the effect of PKC activation on VE-cadherin-mediated adhesion, we allowed VE-cadherin-coated microbeads to bind to the endothelial cell surface and probed their adhesion by laser tweezers. PMA significantly reduced bead binding to 78+/-6% of controls in WT endothelial cells without any effect in caveolin-1-deficient cells. In WT cells, PMA caused an 86+/-18% increase in FITC-dextran permeability whereas no increase in permeability was observed in caveolin-1-deficient monolayers. Inhibition of PKC by staurosporine (50 nM, 30 min) did not affect barrier functions in both WT and caveolin-1-deficient MyEnd cells. Theses data indicate that PKC activation reduces endothelial barrier functions at least in part by the reduction of VE-cadherin-mediated adhesion and demonstrate that PKC-mediated permeability regulation depends on caveolin-1.

Abstract
Histamine receptors are expressed on neutrophils, and therefore, are likely to modulate neutrophil function. In this study, we investigated whether histamine modulates human neutrophil survival. Neutrophils were found to rapidly undergo spontaneous apoptosis upon culture in vitro and this was accelerated by high concentrations of histamine. Moreover, the percentage of apoptotic neutrophils was also markedly increased by treating with 10 mM histamine in the presence of inflammatory mediators, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), dibutyryl-cAMP (db-cAMP), or dexamethasone. Histamine-induced neutrophil apoptosis was inhibited by pyrilamine, a histamine receptor 1 antagonist, and by ranitidine, a selective histamine receptor 2 antagonist. In addition, diphenylene iodonium (DPI), an inhibitor of NADPH-oxidase, significantly blocked the apoptotic effect of histamine. Moreover, the induction of apoptosis by histamine was almost completely inhibited by zVAD-fmk, a pan-caspase inhibitor. In addition, immunoblotting showed that histamine induced the proteolytic activation of procaspase-3 in cell lysates treated with histamine. And, the protein kinase C (PKC)-delta inhibitor, rottlerin (5 microM) significantly blocked the apoptotic effect of histamine, though the cleavage of PKC-delta in 20 h cultured neutrophils was increased by histamine. However, an inhibitor of conventional PKC, Go6976 (100 nM) and a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor, SB203580 (10 microM), failed to block histamine-induced neutrophil apoptosis. These results suggest that high concentrations of histamine in local inflammatory and allergic lesions induce neutrophil apoptosis, and that this histamine-induced apoptosis is mediated by caspase activation and PKC-delta signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Techniques which identify acute right ventricular (RV) ischemia may help elucidate the pathophysiology of RV dysfunction. This study's goal was to validate an acute RV ischemia or infarction detection technique. Could RV endomyocardial and epimyocardial (interstitial) pH electrodes detect RV pH changes in an animal model of RV infarction produced by right coronary artery ligation? METHODS In ten adult anesthetized pigs, RV interstitial (pHepi) and transmural endomyocardial pH (pHendo) were measured before and serially after right coronary occlusion. RESULTS pHendo and pHepi fell significantly following coronary occlusion. The absolute and relative rates of change were greater for pHendo (mean pH decreased from 7.36 to 7.04) compared to pHepi ( mean pH of 7.28 vs 7.08; P <0.002). pH was unchanged in control experiments where the electrode was placed in the right atrial or ventricular chamber, and in sham-operated animals. These data suggest that coronary ligation induced RV ischemia produces RV myocardial pH changes, which can be recorded from an electrode placed against the RV wall via a central vein, or in the interstitium. CONCLUSION This newly described technique may be helpful in developing more discriminating tools to identify acute RV ischemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Histamine stimulates cell proliferation in some tumor cell lines through the activation of H(1) receptors coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis. We therefore set out to study the presence of H(1) receptors in the prostate cancer cell line DU-145 and the effect of their stimulation on cell growth. METHODS The presence of histamine receptors was studied by radioligand binding. Phosphoinositide hydrolysis was assessed by measuring [(1)H]-inositol phosphate ([(1)H]-IPs) accumulation and changes in the intracellular concentration of free Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)). Proliferation was assessed by cell counting and by [(1)H]-thymidine incorporation. RESULTS DU-145 cells express H(1) receptors (110+/-14 fmol/mg of protein) whose stimulation results in [(1)H]-IPs accumulation (602+/-23% of basal, EC(50) 2.2+/-0.4 microM) and calcium mobilization (resting level 96+/-5 nM, Delta[Ca(2+)](i) 517+/-32 nM, EC(50) 6.2+/-0.1 microM). Incubation with histamine (100 microM, 24 hr) resulted in a decrease in both cell number and [(1)H]-thymidine incorporation, blocked by the H(1) antagonist mepyramine (1 microM). CONCLUSIONS Histamine inhibits the proliferation of DU-145 cells through the activation of H(1) receptors coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis.

Abstract
The vasoinhibitory effect of KT3-671, a recently synthesized nonpeptide angiotensin II (Ang II), AT1-receptor antagonist, and the factors affecting insurmountable antagonism of Ang II were examined in rabbit and rat isolated vascular smooth muscle preparations. In rabbit and rat aortic rings, KT3-671 caused insurmountable antagonism of Ang II. In addition, KT3-671 inhibited contractile responses to angiotensin III (Ang III). In rabbit isolated smooth muscles, KT3-671 was most effective in reducing the maximal contraction induced by Ang II in the renal artery followed by the basilar artery and the aorta. In rat renal arterial rings, KT3-671 (10(-5) M) inhibited the concentration-response curves of prostaglandin F2alpha and STA2. In rabbit and rat aortic rings without endothelium, the insurmountable antagonisms of Ang II by KT3-671 and EXP 3174 were changed to surmountable antagonism by pretreatment with DuP 753 and KT3-671, respectively. In addition, KT3-671 abolished the inhibitory effect of CV- 11974 in the rat aorta but not in the rabbit aorta. Indomethacin (10(-5) M) or the removal of endothelium did not affect the inhibitory effect of Ang II by CV-11974 or EXP 3174 but enhanced the insurmountable antagonism by KT3-671. ODQ (3 x 10(-6) M), N(G)-nitro-L-arginine (3 x 10(-4) M), 4-aminopyridine (3 x 10(-3) M), tetraethylammonium (TEA; 10(-3) M), or iberiotoxin (10(-7) M) did not affect the inhibitory action of KT3-671 or CV-11974. Methylene blue (3 x 10(-6) M), KCl (10(2) M), TEA (10(-2) M), or BaC12 (10(-4) M) changed the insurmountable antagonism by KT3-671 to surmountable antagonism and abolished the inhibitory effect of CV-11974. However, glibenclamide (3 x 10(-6) M) did not affect the inhibitory action of KT3-671 but reduced the insurmountable antagonism by CV- 11974. These results indicate that KT3-671 is an insurmountable antagonist of Ang II in the rabbit and rat aorta. The results in the rat aorta also suggest that K(ATP) channels may be involved in insurmountable antagonism of Ang II by KT3-671 and CV-11974. Key Words: KT3-671-Rabbit-Rat-Vascular smooth muscle-Angiotensin II-Insurmountable antagonist-K(TP)channels.

Abstract
The mechanism by which pertussis toxin (Ptx) causes lung edema is not clear. We investigated the role of pulmonary manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and protein kinase C (PKC) in Ptx-induced lung edema. We demonstrated that intraperitoneal injection of Ptx at a concentration of 5 microg/100 g body weight caused a similar degree of lung edema in 2 d, as measured by lung wet weight/dry weight ratio, in heterozygous MnSOD gene (Sod2)-knockout mice (Sod2(+/-)) and in their wild-type littermates (Sod2(+/+)). The level of lung MnSOD activity in Sod2(+/-) mice was approximately half that of Sod2(+/-) mice. Ptx had no effect on levels of lung MnSOD messenger RNA, immunoreactive protein, or enzyme activity in either Sod2(+/+) or Sod2(+/-) mice. Ptx also had no effect on lung copper-zinc SOD, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase activities in these mice. On the other hand, Ptx caused the activation of lung PKC, for example, by translocation of a 72-kD PKC isoform from the cytosolic fraction to the membrane fraction. Pretreatment of mice with bisindolylmaleimide, a PKC inhibitor, prevented both the Ptx-induced activation of PKC and lung edema. These data suggest that Ptx-induced lung edema in mice is, at least in part, due to the activation of lung PKC.

Abstract
In the absence of external Ca2+, 100 microM histamine evoked a transient increase in intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), and subsequent addition of Ca2+ to the medium resulted in a sustained increase in [Ca2+]i in fura-2-loaded human gingival fibroblasts. These Ca2+ mobilizations are attributed to Ca2+ release from intracellular stores and Ca2+ entry, respectively. When the histamine H1 antagonist chlorpheniramine was added after the histamine-induced transient increase in [Ca2+]i, the Ca2+ entry induced by the addition of Ca2+ was inhibited. In the fibroblasts pretreated with cyclooxygenase inhibitors, indomethacin (1 microM) or aspirin (100 microM), histamine-induced Ca2+ entry was significantly inhibited, but not the transient [Ca2+]i increase. These results suggest that the histamine-induced Ca2+ entry requires the continuous binding of histamine to the H1 receptors and is regulated by prostaglandins, which are probably produced due to the H1 receptor activation.

Abstract
Cold acclimatization (4-5 degree C) is accompanied by 2-3 fold increase of brown adipose tissue (BAT). This rapid growth of interscapular BAT was studied after histamine depletion. In control rats maintained at room temperature (28 +/- 2 degree C) the BAT histamine content was 23.4 +/- 5.9 (mean +/- SD) microgram/g of tissue and cold acclimatization (5 +/- 1 degree C) produced a significant increase of BAT weight, but reduced the histamine content to 8.4 +/- 1.9 microgram/g. The total weight of BAT after 20 days of acclimatization was unaffected by depletion of histamine due to compound 48/80. The low level of histamine in BAT of cold acclimatized rats could be due to a fast rate of amine utilization; alternatively an altered synthesis or storage process may occur during acclimatization.

Abstract
Ets-1 is a transcription factor that activates expression of matrix-degrading proteinases such as collagenase and stromelysin. To study the control of ets-1 gene expression in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), cells were exposed to factors known to regulate VSMC migration and proliferation. Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), endothelin-1 (ET-1), and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) induced a dose-dependent expression of ets-1 mRNA. These effects were abrogated by inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) by H-7 or chronic PMA treatment. Ets-1 mRNA was superinduced by PDGF-BB and ET-1 in the presence of cycloheximide. The chelation of intracellular Ca2+ by 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid-acetoxymethyl ester and the depletion of endoplasmic reticulum intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) by thapsigargin inhibited PDGF-BB- and ET-1-induced ets-1 mRNA, whereas ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid had no effect. However, [Ca2+]i release alone was not sufficient to increase ets-1 mRNA. Forskolin blocked ET-1-, PDGF-BB-, and PMA-induced ets-1 mRNA, as well as inositol phosphate formation, consistent with an effect through impairment of PKC activation. Inhibitors of ets-1 gene expression, such as H-7 and herbimycin A, inhibited the ET-1 induction of collagenase I mRNA. We propose that ets-1 may be an important element in the orchestration of matrix proteinase expression and of vascular remodeling after arterial injury.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study was designed to determine the role of increased extracellular potassium [K+]e on action potential duration (APD) in the in situ porcine heart during acute regional no-flow ischemia. METHODS AND RESULTS In open chest, anesthetized swine, an arterial shunt from the carotid artery to the mid-left anterior descending coronary artery was created through which a solution of KCl was infused to raise [K+]e. Myocardial [K+]e was determined by potassium-sensitive electrodes, and transmembrane action potential was recorded by floating glass microelectrode. During the first 2 minutes of ischemia, APD at 90% repolarization (APD90) lengthened by 31.2 +/- 1.1 msec (P < 0.05). The comparable increase in [K+]e alone shortened APD90. During the next 6 minutes of ischemia, [K+]e rose to 11.3 +/- 0.3 mM and APD90 showed a decrease. However, the comparable increase in [K+]e by infusion of KCl caused further shortening of APD90 at similar levels of [K+]e. CONCLUSIONS Acutely ischemic myocardium showed a brief increase in APD90 during the first 2 minutes of ischemia, followed by a fall in APD90 after 2 minutes of ischemia, but the shortening is less than anticipated by the rise in [K+]e. Thus, we hypothesize that other component(s) of ischemia may inhibit action potential repolarization.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that histamine and bradykinin evoke an increase in intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in human gingival fibroblasts by using a fluorescent Ca2+ indicator Fura-2. In this paper, we further demonstrate the regulation of the histamine-induced Ca2+ mobilization by bradykinin. In fibroblasts stimulated with bradykinin (1 microM), subsequent stimulation with histamine (100 microM) failed to mobilize Ca2+, whereas bradykinin induced an increase in [Ca2+]i in the cells pre-stimulated with histamine. The attenuation of the histamine response was dependent on the concentration of bradykinin for the first stimulation. Histamine also failed to induce the formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate in fibroblasts pretreated with bradykinin. In fibroblasts pretreated with bradykinin (1 microM) for 3 min and then washed with fresh medium, the effect of histamine on [Ca2+]i quickly returned to the control level. The activation of protein kinase C by phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (PMA) elicited a marked decrease in histamine-induced Ca2+ mobilization. When the protein kinase C activity was inhibited with H7, a protein kinase C inhibitor, or was down-regulated by pretreatment with PMA for 20 h, the inhibitory effect of PMA on the histamine response was relieved. In the fibroblasts pretreated with H7 or PMA for 20 h, histamine evoked Ca2+ mobilization even after bradykinin stimulation. These results suggest that the histamine response is regulated by bradykinin receptor activation via the activation of protein kinase C in human gingival fibroblasts.

Abstract
Stimulation of human gingival fibroblasts with histamine elicited an increase in the intracellular concentration of free calcium ([Ca2+]i) and the formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The histamine-induced increase in [Ca2+]i was attenuated completely by chlorpheniramine, an H1 antagonist, but not by cimetidine, an H2 antagonist. The histamine-induced Ca2+ response consisted of an initial transient peak response and a subsequent sustained increase. The transient phase can be largely attributed to Ca2+ release from intracellular InsP3-sensitive stores since the increased [Ca2+]i effect of histamine completely disappeared after depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores with thapsigargin in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. The sustained phase was due to Ca2+ influx which was attenuated in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. The Ca2+ influx required the continuous binding of histamine to the receptor, since chlorpheniramine attenuated the increase in [Ca2+]i observed when extracellular Ca2+ was re-applied to the cells after stimulation with histamine in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. Pretreatment with the Ca2+ channel blocker SK&F96365 inhibited the Ca2+ influx component, suggesting that histamine stimulates Ca2+ influx through an H1 receptor-operated Ca2+ channel. Histamine also evoked a concentration- and time-dependent release of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The histamine-evoked PGE2 release was reduced markedly by exclusion of extracellular Ca2+ or pretreatment with SK&F96365 or an H1 antagonist. These results indicate that histamine stimulates both the intracellular Ca2+ release from InsP3-sensitive stores and the H1 receptor-operated Ca2+ influx from extracellular sites. The increased [Ca2+]i due to the Ca2+ influx causes PGE2 release in human gingival fibroblasts.

Abstract
We studied histamine-induced Ca2+ mobilization in human periodontal ligament (HPDL) cells. Histamine induced a transient rise in intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and maintained a sustained phase in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, the transient peak was slightly reduced and the sustained phase was decreased to the basal level. The initial rise in [Ca2+]i was attributed to two components: intracellular Ca2+ release and Ca2+ influx, whereas the sustained phase was due to Ca2+ influx. After depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores with thapsigargin, a known Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor, histamine-induced increase in [Ca2+]i was significantly reduced, suggesting histamine induces Ca2+ release from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3]- and thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ stores. Histamine-induced peak in [Ca2+]i was increased dose-dependently in the presence and absence of extracellular Ca2+. The histamine-mediated response in [Ca2+]i was specifically attenuated by chlorpheniramine (H1 antagonist) but not by cimetidine (H2 antagonist), clearly indicating that activation of H1 receptor mediates histamine-induced Ca2+ mobilization. We next examined the effect of histamine on inositol phosphates formation. Histamine stimulated the formation of inositol phosphates which changed time-dependently. In particular, the formation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 was increased significantly for 10 s. The histamine-induced Ca2+ mobilization caused an increase of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) release which was reduced in excluding extracellular Ca2+. These results indicate that activation of histamine H1 receptor induces the accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and the following transient increase in [Ca2+]i, and elicits the release of PGE2 which may be coupled with Ca2+ influx.

Abstract
1. HL-60 human leukemia cells are a widely employed model system for the analysis of signal transduction processes mediated via regulatory heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins). HL-60 promyelocytes are pluripotent and can be differentiated into neutrophilic or monocytic cells. 2. HL-60 cells express formyl peptide-, complement C5a-, leukotriene B4 (LTB4)- and platelet-activating factor receptors, receptors for purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, histamine H1- and H2-receptors, beta 2-adrenoceptors and prostaglandin receptors. 3. The major G-proteins in HL-60 cells are pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive Gi-proteins (Gi2 > Gi3). Gs-proteins and G-proteins of the Gq-family (e.g., G16) are expressed, too. 4. G-protein-regulated effector systems in HL-60 cells are adenylyl cyclase and phospholipase C-beta 2 (PLC-beta 2) and, possibly, phospholipase D (PLD), nonselective cation (NSC) channels and NADPH oxidase. 5. The expression of signal transduction pathways in HL-60 cells strongly depends on the differentiation state of cells. 6. Formyl peptides, via Gi-proteins, mediate activation of PLC, PLD, NSC channels, NADPH oxidase and azurophilic granule release and are referred to as full secretagogues. In dibutyryl cAMP (Bt2cAMP)-differentiated HL-60 cells, C5a and LTB4 are partial and incomplete secretagogues, respectively. There are substantial differences in the Gi-protein activations induced by formyl peptides, C5a and LTB4. 7. In HL-60 promyelocytes, purine and pyrimidine nucleotides mediate activation of PLC and NSC channels largely via PTX-insensitive G-proteins and induce functional differentiation. In Bt2cAMP-differentiated HL-60 cells, they additionally activate PLD, NADPH oxidase and granule release via PTX-sensitive and -insensitive pathways. ATP and UTP are partial secretagogues. Multiple types of receptors (i.e., P2Y- and P2U-receptors and pyrimidinocyeptors) may mediate the effects of nucleotides in HL-60 cells. 8. Bt2cAMP- and 1 alpha,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol-differentiated HL-60 cells express H1-receptors coupled to Gi-proteins and PTX-insensitive G-proteins. In the former cells, histamine mediates activation of PLC and NSC channels, and in the latter, activation of NSC channels. Histamine is an incomplete secretagogue in these cells. 9. HL-60 promyelocytes express H2-receptors coupled to adenylyl cyclase, PLC, and NSC channels. There are substantial differences in the agonist/antagonist profiles of H2-receptor-mediated cAMP formation and rises in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, indicative of the involvement of different H2-receptor subtypes. H2-receptors mediate functional differentiation of HL-60 cells. 10. Certain cationic-amphiphilic histamine receptor ligands (i.e., 2-substituted histamines, lipophilic guanidines, and a histamine trifluoromethyl-toluidide derivative) show stimulatory effects in HL-60 cells that are attributable to receptor-independent activation of Gi-proteins.

Abstract
The modulating effect of calcium cell signalling agonists on tissue growth was studied in a rabbit lens cell line (NN1003A). Calcium mobilisation was measured after Fura-2 incorporation and growth assayed either by direct Coulter counting or [3H]-thymidine incorporation. Transient increases in cytoplasmic calcium were elicited by rabbit serum, histamine, ATP and PDGF. Thapsigargin induced a prolonged increase and all of the above agonists failed to elicit a response after thapsigargin. Rabbit serum and PDGF both increased cell growth in a concentration-dependent manner. While histamine and ATP had little effect in serum-free medium, they reduced serum-stimulated growth. Acetylcholine and FGF did not produce a marked rise in cytoplasmic calcium and neither did they modulate growth. Both thapsigargin and caffeine greatly inhibited growth. These findings indicate that, in lens cells, agonists that mobilise calcium, whether by acting through G-protein or tyrosine kinase receptors, also modulate lens cell growth. Agents such as thapsigargin and caffeine that inactivate the same calcium store also inhibit growth.

Abstract
In recent years, it has been hypothesized that muscarinic receptor-stimulated phosphoinositide (PI) metabolism may represent a relevant target for the developmental neurotoxicity of ethanol. Age-, brain region-, and receptor-specific inhibitory effects of ethanol on this system have been found, both in vitro and after in vivo administration. As a direct consequence of this action, alterations of calcium homeostasis would be expected, through alterations of inositol trisphosphate formation, which mediates intracellular calcium mobilization. In the present study, the effects of ethanol (50-500 mM) on carbachol-stimulated PI metabolism and free intracellular calcium levels were investigated in rat primary cortical cultures, by measuring release of inositol phosphates and utilizing the two calcium probes fluo-3 and indo-1 on an ACAS (Adherent Cell Analysis and Sorting) Laser Cytometer. Ethanol exerted a concentration-dependent inhibition of carbachol-stimulated PI metabolism. In addition, ethanol's inhibitory effect paralleled the temporal development of the muscarinic receptor signal transduction system, with the strongest inhibition (25-50%) occurring when maximal stimulation by carbachol occurs (days 5-7). Ethanol also exerted a concentration-dependent decrease in free intracellular calcium levels following carbachol stimulation. Both initial calcium spike amplitude, seen in all responsive cells, as well as the total number of cells responding to carbachol, were decreased by ethanol. The inhibitory effects of ethanol seemed dependent upon preincubation time, in that a longer preincubation (30 min) with the lowest dose (50 mM), showed almost the same decrease in responding cell number and reduction in spike amplitude in responding cells, as a shorter incubation (10 min) with the highest ethanol dose (500 mM). The specificity of the response to carbachol was demonstrated by blocking the response with 10 microM atropine. Moreover, experiments with carbachol in calcium-free buffer with 1 mM EGTA indicated that the initial calcium spike was due to intracellular calcium mobilization from intracellular stores. Since calcium is believed to play important roles in cell proliferation and differentiation, these results support the hypothesis that this intracellular signal-transduction pathway may be a target for ethanol, contributing to its developmental neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Profound and sustained inhibition of gastric acid secretion has been associated with development of carcinoid tumors of the fundic enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in rodents. While ECL cell hyperplasia has been recognized in humans, the development of carcinoid tumors is rare and often confined to patients under treatment for gastrinoma related to the multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN1) syndrome. The Mastomys was utilized as a model for the rapid induction of ECLomas by insurmountable acid secretory blockade induced by the pharmacologically irreversible H2-receptor antagonist, loxtidine. Loxtidine-induced ECL cell hyperplasia and neoplasia were compared in the absence of presence of cyproheptadine (0.5 mg/kg), an H1-receptor antagonist. Loxtidine administration resulted in a significant increase in ECL cell hyperplasia and neoplasia as well as an increase in ECL cell number, mucosal thickness, plasma gastrin levels, and stomach weight. Cyproheptadine ameliorated loxtidine-induced ECL cell hyperplasia and neoplasia and significantly decreased loxtidine-stimulated increases in ECL cell number. Nevertheless, cyproheptadine failed to alter the loxtidine-induced increase in plasma gastrin, stomach weight or mucosal height. The results indicate that cyproheptadine, an H1-receptor antagonist, inhibits loxtidine-induced ECL cell hyperplasia independent of any effects on serum gastrin.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of vasodilators on the development of neurogenic pulmonary edema. Pulmonary edema was induced by injecting fibrinogen and thrombin into the cisterna magna of vagotomized rats (fibrin-induced pulmonary edema). Before the intrathecal injections, rats were pretreated with intravenous injection of one of the following vasodilators: phentolamine, isoproterenol, nifedipine, diltiazem, isosorbide dinitrate, or substance P. Each vasodilator reduced the incidence of fibrin-induced pulmonary edema and lung-water ratio dose-dependently except nifedipine and diltiazem. There was a uniform relationship between the lung-water ratio and the prefibrin mean arterial pressure obtained under administration of different doses of the each drug. A similar relationship was obtained even if the drug used was different. Treatment with nifedipine or diltiazem, however, diminished the blood pressure but provided less protection against the development of pulmonary edema. The blood volume in edema-positive lungs was minimally different from that in edema-negative lungs. These results suggest that the neurogenic pulmonary edema may be effectively prevented by most vasodilators except Ca++-blockers.

Abstract
High molecular weight poly(vinyl chloride) and aliphatic polyurethane (Tecoflex)-based ion selective membranes, with normal and reduced amounts of plasticizer, as well as without plasticizer, were tested with respect to their analytical properties, their biocompatibility, and cellular responses. The analytical properties of the membranes did not change significantly within a wide range of polymer to plasticizer ratios. However, the membranes with reduced plasticizer content had better adhesive properties, less anion interference, extended life time, and better biocompatibility. Using the cage implant system, the results showed that an increase of plasticizer weight percent in Tecoflex membranes correlated positively with the increase in host inflammatory response up to 14 days of implantation. The results also demonstrated that both PVC and Tecoflex-based ion-selective membranes with the most common membrane composition (1:2 polymer to plasticizer ratio) exhibited a similar acute inflammatory response, but the PVC-based membrane elicited a reduced chronic inflammatory response when compared with the Tecoflex-based membrane.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of our study was to determine if the slowing of longitudinal intraventricular conduction in the in situ porcine heart during acute regional no-flow ischemia was rate dependent. Further, we investigated whether any rate dependence could be correlated to a rate-dependent component of the ischemia-induced rise in extracellular potassium concentration, [K+]e. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied in situ hearts in nine anesthetized open chest pigs in which acute no-flow ischemia was induced by occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. To determine the effects of steady-state rate on the slowing of conduction and rise in [K+]e during ischemia, we varied the rate of stimulation during sequential occlusions from 90 to 150 beats/min. Longitudinal conduction velocity was determined by unipolar electrodes embedded in a plaque that was sutured to the epicardial surface in the center of the ischemic zone. Myocardial [K+]e was determined simultaneously by potassium-sensitive electrodes placed at or within 1 to 2 mm of the epicardium in close proximity to the activation recording electrodes. Conduction velocity decreased more rapidly at the more rapid rates of stimulation although the reduction in conduction velocity occurring prior to the onset of conduction block was similar at both rates. The potassium change was not rate dependent and rose at the same rate regardless of the rate of stimulation. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that the steady-state rate-dependent component of the slowing of intraventricular conduction induced by acute ischemia in the in situ porcine heart occurs in the absence of a rate-dependent component in the rise of [K+]e. Between rates of 90 and 150 beats/min, the rate dependence of the conduction slowing may be attributed to one or more potassium-independent factors such as the rate-dependent changes in resting membrane potential, in Vmax of the action potential upstroke, and in cell-to-cell uncoupling, which have been observed in other models of acute ischemia.

Abstract
In the cells of higher eukaryotic organisms, there are several messenger pathways of intracellular signal transduction, such as the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate/Ca2+ signal, voltage-dependent and -independent Ca2+ channels, adenylate cyclase/cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate, guanylate cyclase/cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate, diacylglycerol/protein kinase C, and growth factors/tyrosine kinase/tyrosine phosphatase. These pathways are present in different cell types and impinge on each other for the modulation of the cell function. Ca2+ is one of the most ubiquitous intracellular messengers mediating transcellular communication in a wide variety of cell types. Over the last decades it has become clear that the activation of many types of cells is accompanied by an increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) that is thought to play an important part in the sequence of events occurring during cell activation. The Ca2+ signal can be divided into two categories: receptor- and voltage-operated Ca2+ signal. This review describes and integrates some recent views of receptor-operated Ca2+ signaling and crosstalk in the context of stimulus-secretion coupling.

Abstract
Histamine has previously been described as a possible substrate for the semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase activity (SSAO) of rat white adipose tissue (WAT). We report here on a histamine function in this tissue which concerns the activity of this deaminating system distinct from the classical diamine oxidase. Our results show that: (1) histamine plays a role in controlling rat adipose tissue lipolysis with the contribution of H1 and H2 receptors that participate in histamine lipolysis in an opposite way. Both H1 and H2 roles can be differentiated using selective agonists (2- and 4-methyl histamine) and antagonists (pyrilamine and cimetidine); (2) histamine might also control rat lipolysis induced by noradrenergic agonists; (3) the SSAO present in rat WAT controls histamine levels at the receptor sites as shown by the modification of histamine lipolytic potency obtained when inhibitors of this enzyme are used.

Abstract
Intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i) has been proposed to play an important part in the regulation of the cell cycle. Although a number of studies have shown that stimulation of quiescent cells with growth factors causes an immediate rise in [Ca2+]i (Rabinovitch et al., 1986; Vincentini and Villereal, 1986; Hesketh et al., 1988; Tucker et al., 1989, Wahl et al., 1990), a causal relationship between the [Ca2+]i transient and the ability of the cells to reenter the cell cycle has not been firmly established. We have found that blocking the mitogen-induced elevation of [Ca2+]i with the cytoplasmic [Ca2+]i buffer dimethyl BAPTA (dmBAPTA) also blocks subsequent entry of cells into S phase. The dose response curves for inhibition of serum stimulation of [Ca2+]i and DNA synthesis by dmBAPTA are virtually identical including an anomalous stimulation observed at low levels of dmBAPTA. Reversal of the [Ca2+]i buffering effect of dmBAPTA by transient exposure of the cells to the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin also reverses the inhibition of DNA synthesis 20-24 h later. Ionomycin by itself does not stimulate DNA synthesis. These data are consistent with the conclusion that a transient increase in [Ca2+]i occurring shortly after serum stimulation of quiescent fibroblasts is necessary but not sufficient for subsequent entry of the cells into S phase. This study is the first to show a direct relationship between early serum stimulated Cai2+ increase and subsequent DNA synthesis in human cells. It also goes beyond recent studies on BALB/3T3 cells by providing dose response data and demonstrating reversibility, which are strong indications of a cause and effect relationship.

Abstract
Experiments were carried out on UC-11MG human astrocytoma cells, a continuous cell line that expresses a broad range of the biochemical and electrophysiological properties found in well-differentiated astrocytes. Because of a number of recent reports that astrocytes may express receptors for a variety of neuro-active substances, we measured the effects of 12 different neurotransmitters on intracellular free Ca2+ (Ca2+i) in UC-11MG cells. Of these neurotransmitters only histamine was found to have a significant effect. Further characterization of the nature of the histamine response showed that UC-11MG cells express mepyramine-sensitive H1 receptors the activation of which causes both mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores and entry of Ca2+ from the extracellular solution. No evidence was found for the presence of H2 receptors. The Ca2+i response was maximal at 300 microM histamine and was attenuated by increasing cell density. We suggest that this neurotransmitter may play a role in astrocytic function in the human CNS.

Abstract
The xenobiotic Cd2+ triggers the production of inositol trisphosphate and releases stored Ca2+ in certain cell types, apparently by binding to a zinc site in the external domain of an "orphan" receptor (no known endogenous stimulus). Cd2+ and bradykinin evoke similar spikes in cytosolic free Ca2+. Growth in high Zn2+ (100-200 microM) abolished the free Ca2+ spike evoked by Cd2+ without affecting the spike produced by bradykinin. Growth in high Zn2+ almost abolished Cd(2+)-evoked production of [3H]inositol mono-, bis-, and trisphosphate. Bradykinin-evoked [3H]inositol phosphate production was not affected by growth in high Zn2+. Growth in high Zn2+ nearly prevented the stimulation of 45Ca2+ efflux by Cd2+ without affecting the stimulation of 45Ca2+ efflux by bradykinin or histamine. Removing Zn2+ from the culture medium and incubating the cells for several hours fully restored responsiveness to Cd2+. Cycloheximide, actinomycin D, or tunicamycin prevented the restoration of Cd2+ responsiveness, indicating that resensitization requires macromolecular synthesis. Growth in high Zn2+ reversibly abolished Ca2+ mobilization evoked by two additional stimuli: a decrease in extracellular pH or Na+ concentration. These findings support the hypothesis that the three stimuli (Cd2+ or a decrease in external pH or Na+ concentration) activate the same orphan receptor. Growth in high Zn2+ apparently desensitizes the cells to the Cd2+ receptor stimuli by repressing receptor synthesis.

Abstract
1. Glomerular epithelial cells (GEC) were cultured from human kidneys and immunologically characterized. 2. The effect of extracellular nucleotides on the cytosolic free calcium activity [Ca2+]i was investigated with the fura-2 microfluorescence method. Extracellular UTP, UDP, UMP, ATP, adenosine 5'-O-(3-thio)-trisphosphate (ATP-gamma-S), inosine-triphosphate (ITP), guanyltriphosphate (GTP), 2-methylthio-ATP, AMP, alpha,beta-methylene-ATP and adenosine led to a rapid, transient, concentration-dependent increase of [Ca2+]i, followed by a plateau above the baseline level. 3. In a calcium-free extracellular solution, the rapid increase of [Ca2+]i was still present, whereas the plateau level was abolished. 4. ATP and UTP (ED50 both: 10(-5) M) stimulated inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) formation in GEC. 5. The order of potency for the purine nucleotides in stimulating InsP3 formation was ATP = ATP-gamma-S greater than ADP greater than 2-methylthio-ATP greater than AMP = a,beta methylene-ATP = adenosine. 6. The increase of InsP3 induced by ATP (10(-5) M) could be inhibited by the P2 receptor blocker suramin (greater than 10(-4) M). Reactive blue 2 exhibited a weak stimulating effect on the InsP3 formation and only a weak inhibitory effect at a concentration of 10(-3) M was observed. 7. Protein kinase C activation by preincubation of GEC with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 100 ng ml-1, 15 min) abolished the effect of ATP (10(-5) M) on InsP3 formation. Downregulation of protein kinase C by long term incubation (18 h) with PMA had no significant effect on the phosphoinositol turnover induced by ATP.8. The results indicate that an increase of [Ca2+]i and inositol phosphate breakdown can be mediated via activation of a P2 receptor in human GEC.

Abstract
In this study, we examined the effect of TNFa on bradykinin (BK) B2 receptor binding and function in human A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells. [3H]BK binds to a single class of receptors on A431 cells in a saturable and reversible manner. A binding affinity (KD) of 3.0 +/- 0.3 nM (n = 4) and a Bmax of 151 +/- 14 fmols/10(6) cells, representing approximately 90,000 BK receptors per cell, was observed. The rank order of potency for BK agonist peptides indicates that the A431 BK receptor appears to be of the B2 subtype. When A431 cells were incubated with TNFa (10 ng/ml) for 48 h prior to BK binding, a significant decrease in the number of BK receptors compared to control was observed. TNFa did not influence the affinity of BK binding to A431 cells and direct addition of TNFa to the binding assay did not effect BK binding. BK-stimulated IP1 formation appeared to be increased in TNFa treated cells compared to control whereas histamine-stimulated IP1 formation was not influenced. Both control and TNFa treated cells were greater than 95% viable. However, TNFa treated cells were blocked in the G1 phase of the cell cycle resulting in a decrease in DNA synthesis. This may be one mechanism for the TNFa-induced decrease in BK receptors in A431 cells.

Abstract
Undifferentiated monolayers of the hamster vas deferens smooth-muscle cell line, DDT1MF-2, were grown on glass coverslips and loaded with the Ca(2+)-sensitive fluorescent dye fura-2. Stimulation with histamine produced a rapid and maintained increase in intracellular free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), with an EC50 of 7.0 +/- 0.7 microM. The initial rise in [Ca2+]i can be attributed to Ca2+ release from intracellular stores, whereas the maintained or plateau phase is due to influx of extracellular Ca2+. The Ca2+ influx associated with the plateau phase required the continued presence of histamine on the receptor, since the H1-antagonist mepyramine (10 microM) attenuated the rise in [Ca2+]i observed when extracellular Ca2+ was re-applied after the cells had been stimulated with histamine, in experiments performed in nominally Ca(2+)-free buffer. Pretreatment with the inorganic Ca(2+)-channel blockers Ni2+ (1 mM) and Co2+ (1 mM) inhibited the influx component, whereas the organic voltage-operated Ca(2+)-channel antagonists nifedipine (10 microM) and PN-200-110 (10 microM) had no effect. These data suggest that histamine stimulates Ca2+ influx through an H1-receptor-activated Ca2+ channel. Experiments with Mn2+ indicated that the receptor-mediated Ca(2+)-influx pathway(s) is impermeable to Mn2+. Furthermore, the refilling of Ca2+ stores can occur independently of H1-receptor-mediated influx, since store refilling can be demonstrated even when the receptor-mediated Ca2+ entry is blocked by mepyramine. In conclusion, H1-receptor activation in the smooth-muscle cell line DDT1MF-2 stimulates both release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores [inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (InsP3)-mediated] and Ca2+ influx through a receptor-activated Ca2+ channel. The subsequent refilling of the InsP3-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ store is independent of histamine H1-receptor stimulation (mepyramine-insensitive) and occurs without an observable rise in cytosolic free Ca2+.

Abstract
Previous investigations have identified gradients of intracellular free (Ca2+)i (Ca2+i) in the cytoplasm of human fibroblasts. In this study we have compared the spatial distribution of these gradients with the subcellular distribution of cytoplasmic organelles. Using the Ca(2+)-sensitive dye fura-2 and organelle-specific fluorescent dyes, we have found that the highest Ca2+ concentrations are found in the perinuclear cytoplasm and that these regions co-localize with the Golgi apparatus. The area occupied by the endoplasmic reticulum, which includes the Golgi region plus an adjacent area, is also significantly elevated above the average cellular (Ca2+)i. Most mitochondria are located in regions different from those with the highest (Ca2+)i. A variety of phenomena which could have given rise to artifactual (Ca2+)i gradients have been ruled out, including compartmentalization of fura-2 in subcellular organelles, incomplete hydrolysis of fura-2AM esters, and the presence of pH gradients which might change the Ca2+ binding characteristics of fura-2. The existence of gradients in (Ca2+)i between ER and Golgi containing regions of the cytoplasm supports the hypothesis (Sambrook: Cell 61:197-199, 1990) that the traffic of membrane bound vesicles from ER to Golgi is directed by local variations in (Ca2+)i.

Abstract
Histamine H1 receptor-mediated production of cGMP in guinea-pig lung tissue becomes rapidly desensitized after previous exposure to histamine. This desensitization is clearly concentration dependent and appears to be homologous. Responses to histamine are also inhibited by previous treatment with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate. Yet, the time course of the inhibition is considerably slower and the maximal inhibition is significantly less compared to receptor desensitization. Moreover, the effects of the phorbol ester are not confined to H1 receptor responses. Since the effects of receptor desensitization are also not prevented by several protein kinase C inhibitors, the development of homologous H1 receptor desensitization is not dependent upon protein kinase C activation, but is caused by a yet unidentified mechanism.

Abstract
It has been demonstrated that UVB radiation (290-320 nm) suppresses mammalian cell-mediated immunity by effecting the trans to cis isomerization of urocanic acid (UCA) in the stratum corneum, the uppermost layer of the skin. Trans-urocanic acid has been shown to be the photoreceptor for UVB-induced immune suppression and the cis-isomer has been demonstrated to be immunosuppressive. Little is known, however, about how the isomerization of UCA may affect the proximal or distal cells of the skin or the immune system. We report here that trans-UCA is biologically active in vitro in human dermal fibroblasts, inducing adenyl cyclase as measured by cAMP (adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate) formation in a dose-dependent manner similar to the action of histamine. Trans-UCA and histamine stimulate 50% of maximum activity at concentrations of 3.3 microM and 13.8 microM respectively. Cis-UCA does not increase cAMP in these human fibroblasts but actively down regulates the increase of cAMP induced by either histamine or trans-UCA. Cis-UCA down regulated the histamine response by 75% and the trans-UCA response by 60% at a concentration range of 1 mM to 1 nM. The trans-UCA induction of cAMP can also be downregulated with an H2 histamine receptor antagonist cimetidine. These results support the hypothesis that a cellular target for cis-UCA is the dermal fibroblast and the effects reported here may represent the initial biochemical and cellular event for UVB-induced immune suppression i.e. the immediate step following the isomerization of trans to cis-UCA is the down regulation of cAMP by cis-UCA. Regulation of such an important second messenger such as cAMP could then allow cascading signals to occur, leading to immune suppression.

Abstract
UC11 cells, derived from a human astrocytoma, have a high density of functional substance P receptors. Radioligand binding studies were conducted with the highly selective neurokinin-1 receptor ligand [3H][Sar9,Met(O2)11]-substance P. Kinetic binding experiments conducted at 4 degrees C yielded an association rate constant k1 of 1.86 x 10(7) M-1 min-1, a dissociation rate constant k-1 of 0.00478 min-1, and a calculated kinetic KD of 257 pM. Saturation binding experiments yielded average values of KD = 447 +/- 103 pM, Bmax = 862 +/- 93 fmol/mg of protein. This Bmax corresponds to more than 150,000 binding sites/cell. Competition binding experiments with unlabeled [Sar9,Met(O2)11]-substance P yielded average values of KD = 491 +/- 48 pM and Bmax = 912 +/- 67 fmol/mg of protein. In [3H]inositol-labeled cells, substance P induced a robust inositol phosphate formation. Inositol trisphosphate levels increased as much as 20-fold within approximately 15 s of addition of substance P. This inositol trisphosphate formation was transient and had returned to baseline within the first 60-120 s. Inositol monophosphate formation, however, was linear for at least 2 h. Structure activity data on binding and inositol monophosphate formation confirmed the presence of a neurokinin-1 receptor subtype in these cells. Thus, the UC11 cell should be a useful model cell for delineating the physiological role of substance P receptors in astrocytes.
