Front Immunol 2023; 14:1290191. [PMID: 38035074 PMCID: PMC10682073 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1290191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Macrophages are highly heterogeneous immune cells with a role in maintaining tissue homeostasis, especially in activating the defense response to bacterial infection. Using flow cytometric and single-cell RNA-sequencing analyses of peritoneal cells, we here show that small peritoneal macrophage and immature macrophage populations are enriched in histamine-deficient (Hdc -/-) mice, characterized by a CD11bmiF4/80loCCR2+MHCIIhi and CD11bloF4/80miTHBS1+IL-1α+ phenotype, respectively. Molecular characterization revealed that immature macrophages represent an abnormally differentiated form of large peritoneal macrophages with strong inflammatory properties. Furthermore, deficiency in histamine signaling resulted in significant impairment of the phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophage populations, conferring high susceptibility to bacterial infection. Collectively, this study reveals the importance of histamine signaling in macrophage differentiation at the molecular level to maintain tissue homeostasis, offering a potential therapeutic target for bacterial infection-mediated diseases.

Abstract
Monocyte-derived macrophages can be polarized into antitumor M1 phenotype, which inhibited the growth of tumors, and immune-suppressive M2 phenotype, which promoted the development and metastasis of tumors. Plantain polysaccharide (PLP), extracted from the Plantago asiatica, has shown its various biological activities. However, the ability of PLP involved in immune regulation was still obscure. Accordingly, we aimed to investigate whether PLP could polarize macrophages and further inhibit 4T1 tumor cells in vivo and in vitro. In this research, in vitro results showed that PLP displayed the potential in polarizing RAW264.7 macrophages into M1 phenotype and indirect inhibiting migratory effect on 4T1 cells. Furthermore, the phagocytosis and the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) of macrophages were enhanced. In vivo anti-tumor results demonstrated that PLP could effectively inhibit the growth of 4T1 breast tumors by promoting accumulation of macrophages and T cells in the spleen and lymph node. In conclusion, these findings indicated that PLP inhibited the proliferation and progression of breast tumors by accumulating CD4+, CD8+ T cells and M1-like macrophages in lymph node and spleen, and therefore provided an experimental basis for PLP as a potential antitumor adjunctive therapy in preclinical and clinical trials.

Histamine Signaling Is Essential for Tissue Macrophage Differentiation and Suppression of Bacterial Overgrowth in the Stomach. Cell Mol Gastroenterol Hepatol 2022; 15:213-236. [PMID: 36167263 PMCID: PMC9672892 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcmgh.2022.09.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Histamine in the stomach traditionally is considered to regulate acid secretion but also has been reported to participate in macrophage differentiation, which plays an important role in tissue homeostasis. Therefore, this study aimed to uncover the precise role of histamine in mediating macrophage differentiation and in maintaining stomach homeostasis. METHODS Here, we expand on this role using histidine decarboxylase knockout (Hdc-/-) mice with hypertrophic gastropathy. In-depth in vivo studies were performed in Hdc-/- mice, germ-free Hdc-/- mice, and bone-marrow-transplanted Hdc-/- mice. The stomach macrophage populations and function were characterized by flow cytometry. To identify stomach macrophages and find the new macrophage population, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing analysis on Hdc+/+ and Hdc-/- stomach tissues. RESULTS Single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry of the stomach cells of Hdc-/- mice showed alterations in the ratios of 3 distinct tissue macrophage populations (F4/80+Il1bhigh, F4/80+CD93+, and F4/80-MHC class IIhighCD74high). Tissue macrophages of the stomachs of Hdc-/- mice showed impaired phagocytic activity, increasing the bacterial burden of the stomach and attenuating hypertrophic gastropathy in germ-free Hdc-/- mice. The transplantation of bone marrow cells of Hdc+/+ mice to Hdc-/- mice recovered the normal differentiation of stomach macrophages and relieved the hypertrophic gastropathy of Hdc-/- mice. CONCLUSIONS This study showed the importance of histamine signaling in tissue macrophage differentiation and maintenance of gastric homeostasis through the suppression of bacterial overgrowth in the stomach.

Histamine Increases Th2 Cytokine-Induced CCL18 Expression in Human M2 Macrophages. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222111648. [PMID: 34769080 PMCID: PMC8584115 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222111648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2021] [Revised: 10/25/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The chemokine CCL18 is produced in cells of the myelomonocytic lineage and represents one of the most highly expressed chemokines in lesional skin and serum of atopic dermatitis patients. We investigated the role of histamine in CCL18 production in human monocyte-derived M2 macrophages differentiated in the presence of M-CSF and activated with IL-4, IL-13 or with IL-10. Since expression and regulation of histamine H1 receptor (H1R), H2R and H4R by IL-4 and IL-13 on human M2 macrophages were described, we analyzed expression of the histamine receptors in response to IL-10 stimulation by quantitative RT-PCR. IL-10 upregulated H2R and downregulated H4R mRNA expression by trend in M2 macrophages. IL-10, but in a more pronounced manner, IL-4 and IL-13, also upregulated CCL18. Histamine increased the cytokine-induced upregulation of CCL18 mRNA expression by stimulating the H2R. This effect was stronger in IL-10-stimulated M2 macrophages where the upregulation of CCL18 was confirmed at the protein level by ELISA using selective histamine receptor agonist and antagonists. The histamine-induced CCL18 upregulation in IL-10-activated M2 macrophages was almost similar in cells obtained from atopic dermatitis patients compared to cells from healthy control persons. In summary, our data stress a new function of histamine showing upregulation of the Th2 cells attracting chemokine CCL18 in human, activated M2 macrophages. This may have an impact on the course of atopic dermatitis and for the development of new therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally and its incidence and mortality are rapidly increasing worldwide. The dynamic interaction of immune cells and tumor cells determines the clinical outcome of cancer. Immunotherapy comes to the forefront of cancer treatments, resulting in impressive and durable responses but only in a fraction of patients. Thus, understanding the characteristics and profiles of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is a necessary step to move forward in the design of new immunomodulatory strategies that can boost the immune system to fight cancer. Histamine produces a complex and fine-tuned regulation of the phenotype and functions of the different immune cells, participating in multiple regulatory responses of the innate and adaptive immunity. Considering the important actions of histamine-producing immune cells in the TME, in this review we first address the most important immunomodulatory roles of histamine and histamine receptors in the context of cancer development and progression. In addition, this review highlights the current progress and foundational developments in the field of cancer immunotherapy in combination with histamine and pharmacological compounds targeting histamine receptors.

Abstract
Histamine is a biogenic amine playing a central role in allergy and peripheral inflammatory reactions and acts as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator in the brain. In the adult, histamine is produced mainly by mast cells and hypothalamic neurons, which project their axons throughout the brain. Thus, histamine exerts a range of functions, including wakefulness control, learning and memory, neurogenesis, and regulation of glial activity. Histamine is also known to modulate innate immune responses induced by brain-resident microglia cells and peripheral circulating monocytes, and monocyte-derived cells (macrophages and dendritic cells). In physiological conditions, histamine per se causes mainly a pro-inflammatory phenotype while counteracting lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation both in microglia, monocytes, and monocyte-derived cells. In turn, the activation of the innate immune system can profoundly affect neuronal survival and function, which plays a critical role in the onset and development of brain disorders. Therefore, the dual role of histamine/antihistamines in microglia and monocytes/macrophages is relevant for identifying novel putative therapeutic strategies for brain diseases. This review focuses on the effects of histamine in innate immune responses and the impact on neuronal survival, function, and differentiation/maturation, both in physiological and acute (ischemic stroke) and chronic neurodegenerative conditions (Parkinson's disease).

Abstract
Purpose Tissue hormone histamine can accumulate locally within the periodontal ligament via nutrition or may be released during allergic reactions by mast cells, which may have an impact on orthodontic tooth movement. In addition to periodontal ligament fibroblasts, cells of the immune system such as macrophages are exposed to compressive strain. The aim of this study was thus to investigate the impact of histamine on the gene expression profile of macrophages in the context of simulated orthodontic compressive strain. Methods Macrophages were incubated with different histamine concentrations (50, 100, 200 µM) for 24 h and then either left untreated or compressed for another 4 h. To assess the role of different histamine receptors, we performed experiments with antagonists for histamine 1 receptor (cetirizine), histamine 2 receptor (ranitidine) and histamine 4 receptor (JNJ7777120) under control and pressure conditions. We tested for lactate dehydrogenase release and analyzed the expression of genes involved in inflammation and bone remodeling by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Results Histamine elevated gene expression of tumor necrosis factor under control conditions and in combination with pressure application. Increased prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase‑2 mRNA was observed when histamine was combined with compressive force. Interleukin‑6 gene expression was not affected by histamine treatment. In macrophages, compressive strain increased osteoprotegerin gene expression. Histamine further elevated this effect. Most of the observed histamine effects were blocked by the histamine 1 receptor antagonist cetirizine. Conclusions Histamine has an impact on the gene expression profile of macrophages during compressive strain in vitro, most likely having an impairing effect on orthodontic tooth movement by upregulation of osteoprotegerin expression.

Abstract
Histamine is a pleiotropic mediator involved in a broad spectrum of (patho)-physiological processes, one of which is the regulation of inflammation. Compounds acting on three out of the four known histamine receptors are approved for clinical use. These approved compounds comprise histamine H1-receptor (H1R) antagonists, which are used to control allergic inflammation, antagonists at H2R, which therapeutically decrease gastric acid release, and an antagonist at H3R, which is indicated to treat narcolepsy. Ligands at H4R are still being tested pre-clinically and in clinical trials of inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, dermatitis, and psoriasis. These trials, however, documented only moderate beneficial effects of H4R ligands so far. Nevertheless, pre-clinically, H4R still is subject of ongoing research, analyzing various inflammatory, allergic, and autoimmune diseases. During inflammatory reactions in gut tissues, histamine concentrations rise in affected areas, indicating its possible biological effect. Indeed, in histamine-deficient mice experimentally induced inflammation of the gut is reduced in comparison to that in histamine-competent mice. However, antagonists at H1R, H2R, and H3R do not provide an effect on inflammation, supporting the idea that H4R is responsible for the histamine effects. In the present review, we discuss the involvement of histamine and H4R in inflammatory and inflammation-associated diseases of the gut.

Histidine decarboxylase deficiency inhibits NBP-induced extramedullary hematopoiesis by modifying bone marrow and spleen microenvironments. Int J Hematol 2021; 113:348-361.

Abstract
Histidine decarboxylase (HDC), a histamine synthase, is expressed in various hematopoietic cells and is induced by hematopoietic cytokines such as granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). We previously showed that nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate (NBP)-treatment induces extramedullary hematopoiesis via G-CSF stimulation. However, the function of HDC in NBP-induced medullary and extramedullary hematopoiesis remains unclear. Here, we investigated changes in hematopoiesis in wild-type and HDC-deficient (HDC-KO) mice. NBP treatment did not induce anemia in wild-type or HDC-KO mice, but did produce a gradual increase in serum G-CSF levels in wild-type mice. NBP treatment also enhanced Hdc mRNA expression and erythropoiesis in the spleen and reduced erythropoiesis in bone marrow and the number of vascular adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1)-positive macrophages in wild-type mice, as well as increased the levels of hematopoietic progenitor cells and proliferating cells in the spleen and enhanced expression of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (Bmp4), CXC chemokine ligand 12 (Cxcl12), and hypoxia inducible factor 1 (Hif1) in the spleen. However, such changes were not observed in HDC-KO mice. These results suggest that histamine may affect hematopoietic microenvironments of the bone marrow and spleen by changing hematopoiesis-related factors in NBP-induced extramedullary hematopoiesis.

Abstract
Background The effects of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their related messenger RNAs (mRNAs) remain unknown in children with acquired aplastic anemia (AA). The aim of this study is to screen key lncRNAs and mRNAs and investigate their potential roles in the pathology of acquired AA in children. Methods RNA sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) and mRNAs (DEmRNAs) between blood samples of acquired AA children and healthy controls. cis-regulation, trans-regulation, competing endogenous (Ce) regulation networks of DElncRNAs and DEmRNAs were constructed. A literature search was performed to identify immune- or hematopoietic-related DElncRNA-DEmRNA pairs, and qPCR was conducted to validate the expression of the immune- or hematopoietic-related DElncRNA and DEmRNA. Results 60 DElncRNAs and 364 DEmRNAs were identified. 13 DElncRNAs were predicted to have 15 cis-regulated target DEmRNAs, 16 DElncRNAs might have 28 trans-regulated DEmRNAs, and 2 DElncRNAs might have 9 Ce-regulated DEmRNAs. After literature screen and qPCR validation, 6 immune- or hematopoietic-related DElncRNA-DEmRNA pairs in the networks above were identified as key RNAs in the pathology of acquired AA. Conclusion This study revealed key lncRNAs in children with acquired AA and proposed their potential functions by predicting their target mRNAs, which lay the foundation for future study of potential effects of lncRNAs in children with acquired AA.

Abstract
Atypical antipsychotics (AAP) or second-generation antipsychotics are the clinical option for schizophrenia treatment during acute psychoses, but they are also indicated for maintenance during lifetime, even though they are being used for other psychiatric conditions in clinical practice such as affective disorders and autism spectrum disorder, among others. These drugs are differentiated from typical antipsychotics based on their clinical profile and are a better choice because they cause fewer side effects regarding extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS). Even though they provide clear therapeutic benefits, AAP induce peripheral effects that trigger phenotypic, functional, and systemic changes outside the Central Nervous System (CNS). Metabolic disease is frequently associated with AAP and significantly impacts the patient's quality of life. However, other peripheral changes of clinical relevance are present during AAP treatment, such as alterations in the immune and endocrine systems as well as the intestinal microbiome. These less studied alterations also have a significant impact in the patient's health status. This manuscript aims to revise the peripheral immunological, endocrine, and intestinal microbiome changes induced by AAP consumption recommended in the clinical guidelines for schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Human monocyte-derived M1 macrophages develop in relation to growth factors, bacterial products, and cytokines in a local micro-environment. M1 macrophages produce pro-inflammatory mediators, in particular, oncostatin M (OSM), which is secreted from the cells in response to the active complement component C5a. As C5a also releases histamine from human mast cells and shows immune modulatory functions similar to histamine in regulating expression of the IL-12 cytokine family, we investigated the effects of histamine on OSM expression in human M1 macrophages. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Cytokine expression was analysed by real-time quantitative PCR and elisa techniques. Normal human epidermal keratinocytes were stimulated with supernatants from activated M1 macrophages, and phosphorylation of STAT3 was assessed by flow cytometry. KEY RESULTS OSM mRNA expression was highly up-regulated by histamine and agonists targeting the histamine H1 H2 , and H4 receptors in human M1 macrophages and by C5a, which was used as control stimulus. Protein levels of OSM and IL-6 were up-regulated by histamine. Supernatants from histamine-stimulated, fully differentiated M1 macrophages were able to phosphorylate STAT3 in normal human epidermal keratinocytes. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The up-regulation of OSM expression in response to histamine and C5a shown in this study provides further evidence that histamine and C5a, acting through their GPCRs, have almost equal functional effects in cells of the monocyte lineage. Both mediators OSM and IL-6 have the capability to activate human keratinocytes. This effect may have an influence on the course of inflammatory skin diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Th9 cells represent a recently defined subset of CD4+ T-helper cells, characterized by a high production of IL-9. They are found at increased frequency in lesions of atopic dermatitis, where IL-9 is also elevated. As histamine is up-regulated in lesions of inflammatory skin diseases, we investigated the expression profile of histamine receptors and their functional role on Th9 cells. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Naïve CD4+ T-cells were purified from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, using magnetic beads and further differentiated into Th9 cells. During differentiation, cells were additionally stimulated with histamine receptor agonists or left untreated. Histamine receptor expression as well as IL-9 production was measured. KEY RESULTS As proof of a successful differentiation, IL-9 production was measured at mRNA and protein level. Expression of mRNA for histamine H1 , H2 and H4 receptors were up-regulated in differentiated Th9 cells compared to Th0 cells, while no mRNA for the H3 receptor was detectable. Stimulation of Th9 cells with histamine significantly up-regulated expression of mRNA and protein for IL-9 . Experiments with specific histamine receptor agonists and antagonists revealed that this up-regulation was mediated by H4 receptors. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS In summary, our study demonstrates a functional role for histamine H4 receptors on Th9 cells, which might amplify the pro-inflammatory potency of these cells. Together with earlier studies on Th2 and Th17 cells, this study underlines the promising approach for the use of H4 receptor antagonists in inflammatory and allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis are common skin diseases with a high negative impact on patients' quality of life. Both diseases are mediated by a pro-inflammatory infiltrate consisting of several cell types, such as T-cells, antigen-presenting cells and granulocytes and display disturbed keratinocyte differentiation. Given the fact that histamine levels are also highly elevated in inflamed skin, it is likely that histamine plays a relevant role in disease pathology. However, antagonists blocking histamine H1 receptor or H2 receptors are largely ineffective in reducing chronic symptoms in AD and psoriasis. Over the last years, much research has been undertaken to shed light into the mode of action of the most recently discovered histamine H4 receptor. This research has shown that H4 receptor antagonists display antipruritic and anti-inflammatory effects not only in mouse models but also in first human clinical trials, and therefore, H4 receptors might present a novel therapeutic target. In this review, we summarize the effects of the H4 receptors on different cell types, mouse models and clinical studies in regard to AD and psoriasis respectively.
