Stimulation of histamine H1 receptors produced a marked
activation of inositol phospholipid hydrolysis, intracellular calcium mobilization, and stimulation of the c-fos promoter in CHO-H1 cells
expressing the H1 receptor at a level of 3 pmol/mg protein. The latter response was determined using a luciferase-based reporter gene (pGL3). This response to histamine was not sensitive to inhibition by pertussis toxin but could be completely attenuated by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor Ro-31-8220, or by 24-h pretreatment with the
phorbol esters phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate or
phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate. Several isoforms of PKC can be
detected in CHO-H1 cells (

) but only PKC
and PKC
were down-regulated by prolonged treatment with phorbol
esters. Of the two isoforms that were down-regulated, only protein
kinase C
was translocated to CHO-H1 cell membranes after stimulation
with either histamine or phorbol esters. The PKC inhibitor Gö
6976, which inhibits PKC
but not PKC
, was also able to
significantly attenuate the c-fos-luciferase response to histamine. The
mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor PD 98059 markedly
inhibited the response to histamine, suggesting that the likely major
target for PKC
was the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway.
These data suggest that the histamine H1 receptor can
signal to the nucleus via PKC
after activation of phospholipase
C
.
