H3 autoreceptors modulate histamine synthesis through calcium/calmodulin- and cAMP-dependent protein kinase pathways.

چکیده
H(3) autoreceptors provide feedback control of neurotransmitter synthesis in histaminergic neurons, but the transduction pathways involved are poorly understood. In rat brain cortical slices, histamine synthesis can be stimulated by depolarization and inhibited by H(3) agonists. We show that histamine synthesis stimulation by depolarization with 30 mM K(+) requires extracellular calcium entry, mostly through N-type channels, and subsequent activation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II. In vitro, this kinase phosphorylated and activated histidine decarboxylase, the histamine-synthesizing enzyme. Inhibition of depolarization-stimulated histamine synthesis by the histamine H(3) receptor agonist imetit was impaired by preincubation with pertussis toxin and by the presence of a myristoylated peptide (myristoyl-N-QEHAQEPERQYMHIGTMVE-FAYALVGK) blocking the actions of G-protein betagamma subunits. The stimulation of another G(i/o)-coupled receptor, adenosine A(1), also decreased depolarization-stimulated histamine synthesis. In contrast, protein kinase A activation, which is also repressed by H(3) receptors, elicited a depolarization- and calcium/calmodulin-independent stimulation of histamine synthesis. Protein kinase A was able also to phosphorylate and activate histidine decarboxylase in vitro. These results show how depolarization activates histamine synthesis in nerve endings and demonstrate that both pathways modulating neurotransmitter synthesis are controlled by H(3) autoreceptors.

Presynaptic H3 autoreceptors modulate histamine synthesis through cAMP pathway.
Histamine H3 receptors modulate histamine synthesis, although little is known about the transduction mechanisms involved. To investigate this issue, we have used a preparation of rat brain cortical miniprisms in which histamine synthesis can be modulated by depolarization and by H3 receptor ligands. When the miniprisms were incubated in presence of forskolin, dibutyryl-cAMP, or 3-isobutyl-1-met...
متن کاملActivation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II following bovine rotavirus enterotoxin NSP4 expression
Objective(s): The rotavirus nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4) is responsible for the increase in cytoplasmic calcium concentration through a phospholipase C-dependent and phospholipase C-independent pathways in infected cells. It is shown that increasing of intracellular calcium concentration in rotavirus infected cells is associated with the activation of some members of protein kinases family su...
متن کاملCa2+ potentiates cAMP-dependent expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator gene through a calmodulin- and protein kinase C-independent mechanism.
In the porcine renal epithelial cell line, LLC-PK1, activation of the cAMP-dependent signal transduction pathway induces the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) gene. We show here that the cAMP response is enhanced when the intracellular calcium concentration is increased. When LLC-PK1 cells were treated with the calcium ionophore ionomycin alone, there was no uPA mRNA accumulation. Howe...
متن کاملProtein kinases and addiction.
Although drugs of abuse have different chemical structures and interact with different protein targets, all appear to usurp common neuronal systems that regulate reward and motivation. Addiction is a complex disease that is thought to involve drug-induced changes in synaptic plasticity due to alterations in cell signaling, gene transcription, and protein synthesis. Recent evidence suggests that...
متن کاملP26: Long-Term Potentiation: The Mechanisms of CaMKII in Lerarning and Memory
Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a form of activity dependent plasticity that induced by high-frequency stimulation or theta burst stimulation and results in synaptic transmission. Several Studies have been shown that LTP is one of the most important processes in the CNS that plays an important role in learning and memory formation. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a major...
