Histamine H1-Receptor Activation of Nuclear Factor-kappa B: Roles for Gbeta gamma - and Galpha q/11-Subunits in Constitutive and Agonist-Mediated Signaling

Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) is an important transcription factor in inflammation that has obtained a great interest as a drug target for the treatment of various allergic conditions. In this study, we show that the histamine H1 receptor, which is also an important player in allergic and inflammatory conditions, activates NF-kappa B in both a constitutive and agonist-dependent manner. Moreover, the observed constitutive NF-kappa B activation is inhibited by various H1-receptor antagonists, suggesting that inverse agonism may account, at least in part, for their ascribed antiallergic properties. Investigation of the H1 receptor-mediated NF-kappa B activation in transfected COS-7 cells indicates that the level of the observed constitutive activity of the H1 receptor can be modulated by the expression levels of either Galpha -proteins or Gbeta gamma -heterodimers. Members of the Galpha q/11-family of Galpha -proteins are most effective in increasing H1 constitutive activity. Also, coexpression of Gbeta 2 in combination with either Ggamma 1 or Ggamma 2 results in an increased constitutive activity of the H1 receptor, whereas scavenging of Gbeta gamma -subunits by coexpression of Galpha t completely neutralizes the constitutive, but not the agonist-induced, NF-kappa B activity. Our data suggest that both Galpha q/11- and Gbeta gamma -subunits play a role in the agonist-induced, H1 receptor-mediated NF-kappa B activation, but that constitutive NF-kappa B activation by the H1 receptor is primarily mediated through Gbeta gamma -subunits.
