We previously reported that cells other than mast cells or neurons could synthesize histamine in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or interleukin 1beta in the rat brain. To identify the responsible cells, we examined histidine decarboxylase (HDC) activity and the expression of HDC mRNA in GMI 6-3 mouse microglial cells. Both the activity and mRNA for HDC in GMI 6-3 cells were induced by LPS treatment, and the induction was sensitive to calmodulin-dependent kinase II inhibitor, KN62. These findings indicate that microglia is a third cell type producing histamine in the brain.
