Short-term treatment of cultured HGT-1 cells with histamine produced a time-dependent (half-life: 20 min) and homologous desensitization of histamine H2 receptor activity mediating cAMP generation in HGT-1 cells and gastric acid secretion in normal gastric mucosa. Histamine treatment resulted in loss of response of the adenylate cyclase to histamine in purified plasma membranes, but had no effect on basal, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)- or NaF-stimulated enzyme activities. We propose that the desensitization of gastric histamine H2 receptor by histamine evidenced in cellular or subcellular preparations from HGT-1 cells could be involved in the physiological regulation and pharmacological control of gastric cell function in man.

The interaction of adenylate cyclase with histamine H2 receptor agents and with tricyclic antidepressants was studied in guinea pig gastric mucosal membranes. The H2 receptor antagonist tiotidine acted as a competitive inhibitor of histamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase. The tricyclic antidepressants imipramine and amitryptyline were also competitive inhibitors. The dissociation constant of imipramine was the same whether histamine or dimaprit was used to activate the enzyme. In membrane preparations that had been stored frozen, there was a marked increase in the concentration of histamine or dimaprit required to cause half-maximal enzyme stimulation, and the dissociation constants of some classical H2 receptor antagonists were greatly increased. In contrast, the dissociation constants of the antidepressants were either unchanged or decreased. These results suggest that antidepressants are potent blockers of H2 receptors in gastric mucosal membranes, but there are differences between antidepressants and classical H2 receptor antagonists in their interaction with H2 receptors.

In thoroughly washed guinea pig fundic gastric mucosal membranes, NaCl markedly potentiates the maximal histamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity and increases the concentration of histamine required for half-maximal effect (EC50). The apparent dissociation constants for the antagonists cimetidine and metiamide are only slightly increased in the presence of NaCl. Potassium chloride does not change the histamine EC50 but does increase the maximal histamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. These results suggest that Na and K ions may play an important role in the regulation of histamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase in gastric mucosa. The effect of the Na ion appears to be more specific for histamine H2 receptor agonists than for antagonists.

G-protein-coupled receptors generally share a similar structure containing seven membrane-spanning domains and extracellular site(s) for N-glycosylation. The histamine H2 receptor is a member of the family of G-protein-coupled receptors, and has three extracellular potential sites for N-glycosylation (Asn-4, Asn-162 and Asn-168). To date, however, no information has been presented regarding N-glycosylation of the H2 receptor. To investigate the presence, location and functional roles of N-glycosylation of the H2 receptor, site-directed mutagenesis was performed to eliminate the potential site(s) for N-glycosylation singly and collectively. The wild-type and mutated H2 receptors were expressed stably in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells or transiently in COS7 cells. Immunoblotting of the wild-type and mutated H2 receptors with an antiserum directed against the C-terminus of the H2 receptor showed that mutation at Asn-162, but not at Asn-168, resulted in a substantial decrease in the molecular mass. A mutation at Asn-4 led to a further decrease in the molecular mass. Tunicamycin treatment of the transfected cells yielded a sharp band with a molecular mass identical to that of the mutant devoid of all three potential sites for N-glycosylation. These findings indicate that the H2 receptor is N-glycosylated, and that N-glycosylation takes place mainly at two sites, Asn-4 and Asn-162. Neither the affinity for tiotidine nor that for histamine was affected by the mutagenesis. Immunocytochemistry and tiotidine binding showed that the mutated receptors were exclusively distributed on the cell surface in a fashion similar to that of the wild-type. In addition, the glycosylation-defective receptor was capable of activating adenylate cyclase and elevating the intracellular Ca2+ concentration in response to histamine in stable CHO cell lines. Thus N-glycosylation of the H2 receptor is not required for cell surface localization, ligand binding or functional coupling to G-protein(s).

1. The gene for the human histamine H2 receptor was stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and characterized by [125I]-iodoaminopotentidine binding studies. In addition, the coupling of the expressed receptor protein to a variety of signal transduction pathways was investigated. 2. After cotransfection of CHO cells with pCMVhumH2 and pUT626, a phleomycine-resistant clonal cell line (CHOhumH2) was isolated that expressed 565 +/- 35 fmol kg-1 protein binding sites with high affinity (0.21 +/- 0.02 nM) for the H2 antagonist, [125I]-iodoaminopotentidine. 3. Displacement studies with a variety of H2 antagonists indicated that the encoded protein was indistinguishable from the H2 receptor identified in human brain membranes and guinea-pig right atrium. The Ki-values observed in the various preparations correlated very well (r2 = 0.996-0.920). 4. Displacement studies with histamine showed that a limited fraction (32 +/- 6%) of the binding sites showed a high affinity for histamine (2 +/- 1.2 microM); the shallow displacement curves were reflected by a Hill-coefficient significantly different from unity (nH = 0.58 +/- 0.09). The addition of 100 microM Gpp(NH)p resulted in a steepening of the displacement curve (nH = 0.79 +/- 0.02) and a loss of high affinity sites for histamine. 5. Displacement studies with other agonists indicated that the recently developed specific H2 agonists, amthamine and amselamine, showed an approximately 4-5 fold higher affinity for the human H2 receptor than histamine. 6. Stimulation of CHOhumH2 cells with histamine resulted in a rapid rise of the intracellular cyclic AMP levels. After 10 min an approximately 10 fold increase in cyclic AMP could be measured. TheEC50 value for this response was 7 +/- 1 nM for histamine. This response was effectively blocked by tiotidine and cimetidine, resulting in Ki values of 8 +/- 1 nM and 0.56 +/- 0.24 MicroM respectively.7. Stimulation of CHOhumH2 cells with histamine neither inhibited the A23187-induced release of[3H]-arachidonic acid nor changed the intracellular IP3 levels.8. These results show that the cloned human gene encodes a histamine H2 receptor that is indistinguishable from the H2 receptor identified in human brain tissue. This receptor is functionally coupled to the adenylate cyclase in CHO cells, but does not influence the inositolphosphate turnover or arachidonic acid release.

The HGT-1 gastric cancer cell line was used to determine the actions of protein kinase C on the stimulation of adenylate cyclase by the human histamine H2 receptor, and the receptors for gastric inhibitory polypeptide and truncated glucagon like peptide 1 (TGLP-1). Suspensions of HGT-1 cells were preincubated with the activator of protein kinase C, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA, 100 nmol/l), for 10 minutes. The subsequent cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP) response to 0.5 mmol/l histamine or 100 nmol/l TGLP-1 was reduced by comparison with control cells preincubated in the absence of TPA. The cyclic AMP response to 100 nmol/l gastric inhibitory polypeptide was enhanced by preincubation with TPA, while the responses to cholera toxin and forskolin were unaffected. Preincubation with pertussis toxin prevented the enhancement of the gastric inhibitory polypeptide response by TPA, suggesting an involvement of an inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory subunit of the Gi class, but did not change the inhibition of histamine stimulation. In conclusion, activation of protein kinase C produces a specific inhibition of the effects of histamine and TGLP-1 on adenylate cyclase activity in a human gastric cancer cell line by acting at a site close to their receptors.

Previously, we demonstrated that a single histamine H2 receptor can couple to both the adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate/intracellular Ca2+ signaling pathways in a stimulatory manner. We undertook the present studies to fur her characterize the postreceptor events involved in H2 receptor dual signaling. Histamine H2 receptor-mediated signal transduction was examined in isolated cell membranes prepared from purified canine parietal cells and HEPA cells (rat hepatoma cell line) stably transfected to express the canine H2 histamine receptor cDNA. Histamine dose-dependently stimulated both adenylate cyclase [AC; mean effective concentration (EC50) = 2 x 10(-7) M] and phospholipase C (PLC; EC50 = 3.1 +/- 0.5 x 10(-7) M) activity in an H2-specific and GTP-dependent manner. Cholera toxin pretreatment abolished the stimulatory effect of histamine on PLC activity in isolated membranes without altering binding of the H2 receptor antagonist tiotidine. Anti-Gs alpha dose-dependently inhibited histamine-stimulated AC activity while leaving the effect of this secretagogue on PLC activity unaltered. Although anti-Gq alpha inhibited vasopressin-stimulated PLC activity in HEPA cells and carbachol-stimulated PLC in parietal cells, this antibody did not alter the action of histamine on PLC in the same membrane preparations. Antibody against the NH2 and COOH terminals of the common beta-subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins did not inhibit histamine-stimulated PLC activity. Our studies demonstrate for the the first time that activation of the H2 receptor leads to stimulation of both AC and PLC via separate GTP-dependent mechanisms.

The histamine H2 receptor is a member of the family of G-protein-coupled receptors and is linked to the activation of adenylate cyclase phospholipase C (PLC). In this study we examined the effects of protein kinase C (PKC) activation in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably expressing canine histamine H2 receptors. Pretreatment with 100 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate at 37 degrees C for 15 min led to significant potentiation of histamine-dependent and forskolin-dependent cAMP production, whereas the biologically inactive phorbol ester, 4 alpha-phorbol 12, 13-didecanoate, was without effect. These potentiating effects were abolished by preincubation with 0.5 microM bisindolylmaleimide, a PKC inhibitor. Thus the activation of PKCs seems to be involved in the potentiation of cAMP production by acting on a post-receptor mechanism. Preincubation of a CHO cell line, CHO-H2R, with 10 microM histamine for 30 min had two effects. Maximal histamine-dependent cAMP production and forskolin-dependent cAMP production were potentiated by 36% and 105.2% respectively. The other effect was a desensitization of the histamine-dependent adenylate cyclase response as demonstrated by a three-fold increase in EC50. Administration of 0.5 microM bisindolylmaleimide before preincubation of CHO-H2R with 10 microM histamine did not alter the desensitizing effect on cAMP production, but did abolish the sensitizing effect. Preincubation of CHO-H2R cells with 10 nM histamine resulted in moderate potentiation, which was also abolished by bisindolylmaleimide, but not in desensitization of the histamine-dependent cAMP production. Thus these results suggest that preincubation with histamine had a sensitizing effect on cAMP production mediated by PLC and PKC activation, as well as a desensitizing effect on the H2 receptor. The former effect is dependent on the intensity of PLC and PKC signals delivered by H2 receptors. The latter effect requires a higher concentration of histamine.

Effects of histamine and related agonists and antagonists on formation of cAMP were determined for enzymatically dissociated ganglia from the myenteric plexus of the guinea-pig small intestine. Formation of cAMP was stimulated by histamine in both dose- and time-dependent manners. The stimulatory action of histamine was suppressed by the histamine H2 receptor antagonist, cimetidine. The histamine H1 receptor antagonists, tripelennamine or pyrilamine also suppressed the stimulatory action of histamine, but only at concentrations 3-4 orders higher than required for cimetidine. Formation of cAMP was stimulated dose-dependently by the histamine H2 receptor agonist, dimaprit. The histamine H1 receptor agonist, 2-methyl-histamine, also stimulated cAMP production, but required a threshold concentration 4-5 orders higher than dimaprit. We conclude that histamine acts at the histamine H2 receptor subtype to stimulate adenylate cyclase and the formation of cAMP in myenteric ganglia of the guinea-pig small bowel.

We previously demonstrated that the histamine H2 receptor can activate both adenylate cyclase (AC) and phospholipase C (PLC) signaling pathways via separate GTP-dependent mechanisms. We examined whether H2 receptor-specific peptides corresponding to the amino (N) or carboxyl terminus (C) of the second (2i) or third (3i) intracytoplasmic loops or the carboxyl terminal tail (P4iN) could effect histamine- stimulated AC and PLC activity in cell membranes prepared from HEPA cells stably transfected to express the canine H2 histamine receptor cDNA. Tiotidine binding and basal signaling were not altered by the synthetic peptides. H2P2iN, H2P2iC, H2P3iN and H2P4iN did not effect histamine stimulated AC activity although H2P3iC (10(-4) M) significantly inhibited this parameter (65.6 +/- 7.2% of maximal stimulation) (n = 6). Combination of the five peptides (H2P2iN, H2P2iC, H2P3iN, H2P3iC and H2P4iN) abolished histamine stimulated AC activity. Although all of the peptides inhibited histamine-stimulated PLC activity to a moderate degree individually, H2P3iC (10(-4) M) had the greatest effect, decreasing PLC activation to 20.8 +/- 6.3% of maximal stimulation (IC50 = 7.5 X 10(-7) M) (n = 6). H2P3iC and the peptide combination did not alter, forskolin, GTP gamma s or epinephrine-stimulated AC activity nor GTP gamma s and vasopressin-stimulated PLC. These studies demonstrate that both the second and third intracytoplasmic loops of the histamine H2 receptor are linked to separate signaling pathways in a differential manner.
