Functional expression of a proton-coupled organic cation (H+/OC) antiporter in human brain capillary endothelial cell line hCMEC/D3, a human blood–brain barrier model

open access: yesFluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2013
Background Knowledge of the molecular basis and transport function of the human blood–brain barrier (BBB) is important for not only understanding human cerebral physiology, but also development of new central nervous system (CNS)-acting drugs.

A new house dust mite–driven and mast cell–activated model of asthma in the guinea pig

open access: yesClinical &Experimental Allergy, Volume 50, Issue 10, Page 1184-1195, October 2020., 2020
Abstract Background Animal models are extensively used to study underlying mechanisms in asthma. Guinea pigs share anatomical, pharmacological and physiological features with human airways and may enable the development of a pre‐clinical in vivo model that closely resembles asthma. Objectives To develop an asthma model in guinea pigs using the allergen

Histamine deficiency facilitates coronary microthrombosis after myocardial infarction by increasing neutrophil‐platelet interactions

open access: yesJournal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3504-3520, March 2020., 2020
Abstract Neutrophil‐platelet interactions are responsible for thrombosis as well as inflammatory responses following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). While histamine has been shown to play a crucial role in many physiological and pathological processes, its effects on neutrophil‐platelet interactions in thromboinflammatory complications of AMI remain

Histamine, histamine receptors, and neuropathic pain relief

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 177, Issue 3, Page 580-599, February 2020., 2020
Histamine, acting via distinct histamine H1, H2, H3, and H4 receptors, regulates various physiological and pathological processes, including pain. In the last two decades, there has been a particular increase in evidence to support the involvement of H3 receptor and H4 receptor in the modulation of neuropathic pain, which remains challenging in terms ...

H(1)-Receptor activation triggers the endogenous nitric oxide signalling system in the rat submandibular gland. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
BACKGROUND: Histamine is released from mast cells by immunologic and non-immunologic stimuli during salivary gland inflammation, regulating salivary secretion. The receptor-secretory mechanism has not been studied in detail.

Histamine activates an intracellular Ca2+ signal in normal human lung fibroblast WI-38 cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Histamine is an inflammatory mediator that can be released from mast cells to induce airway remodeling and cause persistent airflow limitation in asthma.

Vasopeptidase-activated latent ligands of the histamine receptor-1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Whether peptidases present in vascular cells can activate prodrugs active on vascular cells has been tested with 2 potential latent ligands of the histamine H1 receptor (H1R). First, a peptide consisting of the antihistamine cetirizine (CTZ) condensed at

The Effects of Histaminergic Agents in the Nucleus ccumbens of Rats in the Elevated Plus-Maze Test of Anxiety [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Psychiatry, 2010
"n Objective: "n The nucleus accumbens (NAc) receive histaminergic neurons from tuberomammillary nuclei. There are reports indicating that central histamine systems are involved in many physiological behavioral processes, including anxiety.
