Histamine receptors in the brain.

M Garbarg, J C Schwartz

    New England and Regional Allergy Proceedings
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Neuronal histamine acts as a neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain, binding to H1 and H2 receptors. A novel H3 receptor class also modulates histamine release, impacting brain function.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Pharmacology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Neuronal histamine functions as a neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain.
    • Histamine receptors (H1 and H2) are known from peripheral organs and also present in the brain.
    • A novel histamine receptor class (H3) has been identified.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the roles and mechanisms of histamine receptors in the mammalian brain.
    • To investigate the biochemical responses mediated by cerebral H1 receptors.
    • To identify the function of the newly discovered H3 histamine receptors.

    Main Methods:

    • Selective labeling of cerebral H1 receptors using tritiated mepyramine.
    • Analysis of biochemical responses including glycogen hydrolysis and inositol phospholipid breakdown.
    • Investigation of calcium dependency for H1 receptor-mediated responses.
    • Characterization of H2 receptor coupling to adenylate cyclase.
    • Identification of H3 receptors as presynaptic autoreceptors.

    Main Results:

    • Cerebral H1 receptors mediate glycogen hydrolysis and inositol phospholipid breakdown.
    • H1 receptor-mediated biochemical responses are calcium-dependent.
    • H1 receptors are indirectly involved in histamine-mediated cyclic AMP accumulation.
    • H2 receptors are coupled to adenylate cyclase.
    • H3 receptors function as presynaptic autoreceptors modulating histamine release.

    Conclusions:

    • Neuronal histamine exerts its effects through distinct receptor classes (H1, H2, H3) in the brain.
    • Cerebral H1 receptors play a significant role in intracellular signaling pathways.
    • The H3 receptor represents a novel regulatory mechanism for neurotransmitter release.
