Histamine H1 receptors mediate activation of phospholipase C, with subsequent increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), and H2 receptors mediate accumulation of cAMP. HL-60 promyelocytes possess H2 receptors, but it is not known whether these cells also possess H1 receptors. We studied the effects of histamine on [Ca2+]i and the functional importance of histamine receptors in HL-60 promyelocytes.

1. With histamine used as agonist, pKB values were estimated for seventeen histamine H2-receptor antagonists on assays involving acid secretion by the mouse isolated stomach and contraction frequency of the guinea-pig right atrium. 2.

Intraventricular administration of histamine (HA) in conscious freely moving rats produces a dose-dependent pressor response and bradycardia. These responses are diminished profoundly when a second injection of HA is given within a short time after the first injection. In this study, the specific HA H1 agonist, pyridylethylamine, and the specific H2 agonist, impromidine, were used to examine the nature of this tachyphylaxis.

Cardiovascular studies have been made in anaesthetized cats with SK&F 93319, an antagonist of histamine at both H1- and H2-receptors. SK&F 93319, 8 X 10(-8) and 4 X 10(-7) mol kg-1 min-1 antagonized depressor responses to injections of histamine and the maximum displacement of histamine dose-response curves exceeded that which can be obtained with either an H1-receptor antagonist or an H2-receptor antagonist alone. SK&F 93319, 8 X 10(-8) and 4 X 10(-7) mol kg-1 min-1, also caused dose-dependent antagonism of histamine-induced falls in blood pressure and total peripheral resistance during intravenous infusions of histamine.
