Pepducins as a potential treatment strategy for asthma and COPD. [PDF]

, 2018
Current therapies to treat asthma and other airway diseases primarily include anti-inflammatory agents and bronchodilators. Anti-inflammatory agents target trafficking and resident immunocytes and structural cells, while bronchodilators act to prevent or

Intact Cell Binding for In Vitro Prediction of Sedative and Non-sedative Histamine H1–Receptor Antagonists Based on Receptor Internalization

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
We evaluated changes in the binding properties of sedative and non-sedative histamine H1–receptor antagonists induced by internalization of H1 receptors in intact human U373 MG astrocytoma cells.

Histamine Regulates the Inflammatory Profile of SOD1-G93A Microglia and the Histaminergic System Is Dysregulated in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a late-onset motor neuron disease where activated glia release pro-inflammatory cytokines that trigger a vicious cycle of neurodegeneration in the absence of resolution of inflammation.

Histamine induced high mobility group box-1 release from vascular endothelial cells through H1 receptor

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
BackgroundSystemic allergic reaction is characterized by vasodilation and vascular leakage, which causes a rapid, precipitous and sustained decrease in arterial blood pressure with a concomitant decrease of cardiac output.

Progress on the development of Class A GPCR‐biased ligands

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Class A G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) continue to garner interest for their essential roles in cell signalling and their importance as drug targets. Although numerous drugs in the clinic target these receptors, over 60% GPCRs remain unexploited. Moreover, the adverse effects triggered by the available unbiased GPCR modulators, limit their use and

Selective inhibition of histamine-evoked Ca2+ signals by compartmentalized cAMP in human bronchial airway smooth muscle cells. [PDF]

, 2018
Intracellular Ca2+ and cAMP typically cause opposing effects on airway smooth muscle contraction. Receptors that stimulate these pathways are therapeutic targets in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The Affinity of Histamine for Gq Protein-Coupled Histamine H1-Receptors Is Predominantly Regulated by Their Internalization in Human Astrocytoma Cells

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012
We examined the regulatory mechanisms of the affinity of Gq protein-coupled histamine H1-receptors for histamine after histamine pretreatment in intact human U373 MG astrocytoma cells.

Role of the Histaminergic System in the Inhibitory Effect of Melatonin on Broiler Chicken Feed Intake [PDF]

Poultry Science Journal
Prior investigations have postulated that melatonin, a prominent hormone produced by the pineal gland, can reduce animal food consumption. This study was designed to evaluate the involvement of central histamine H1 and H2 receptors in regulating ...

TRPV1-expressing primary afferents generate behavioral responses to pruritogens via multiple mechanisms [PDF]

, 2009
The mechanisms that generate itch are poorly understood at both the molecular and cellular levels despite its clinical importance. To explore the peripheral neuronal mechanisms underlying itch, we assessed the behavioral responses (scratching) produced ...
