Abstract
Histamine released by activated basophils has become an important biomarker and therapeutic target in the development of allergic diseases. To date, several gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-based nanosensors have been reported for histamine detection in foods. However, rapid, highly sensitive and direct detection of histamine in allergic diseases is still lacking due to the complexity of the physical environment. Herein, we developed a novel nanosensor for colorimetric visualization of histamine in activated basophils by simply coupling dithiobis(succinimidylpropionate) (DSP) on the surface of AuNPs (DSP-AuNPs). The DSP moiety serves as a linker and can react with the aliphatic amino group of histamine, and the imidazole ring of histamine can selectively bind with Au by means of p-p conjugation, thus inducing the aggregation of AuNPs. In this study, we experimentally proved that DSP-AuNPs showed good sensitivity and selectivity to histamine among various amino acids, including histidine. Additionally, this nanosensor displayed a rapid response to histamine with a linear range of 0.8-2.5 μM, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.014 μM, which is a relatively low LOD in comparison with those of other AuNP-based nanosensors. Finally, DSP-AuNPs are used, for the first time, to successfully detect endogenous histamine changes in activated basophils. Therefore, our work may provide a promising strategy to monitor histamine levels in the basophil activation test.

Fully automated process for histamine detection based on magnetic separation and fluorescence detection. Talanta 2020; 212:120789.

Abstract
To ensure food safety and to prevent unnecessary foodborne complications this study reports fast, fully automated process for histamine determination. This method is based on magnetic separation of histamine with magnetic particles and quantification by the fluorescence intensity change of MSA modified CdSe Quantum dots. Formation of Fe2O3 particles was followed by adsorption of TiO2 on their surface. Magnetism of developed probe enabled rapid histamine isolation prior to its fluorescence detection. Quantum dots (QDs) of approx. 3 nm were prepared via facile UV irradiation. The fluorescence intensity of CdSe QDs was enhanced upon mixing with magnetically separated histamine, in concentration-dependent manner, with a detection limit of 1.6 μM. The linear calibration curve ranged between 0.07 and 4.5 mM histamine with a low LOD and LOQ of 1.6 μM and 6 μM. The detection efficiency of the method was confirmed by ion exchange chromatography. Moreover, the specificity of the sensor was evaluated and no cross-reactivity from nontarget analytes was observed. This method was successfully applied for the direct analysis of histamine in white wine providing detection limit much lower than the histamine maximum levels established by EU regulation in food samples. The recovery rate was excellent, ranging from 84 to 100% with an RSD of less than 4.0%. The main advantage of the proposed method is full automation of the analytical procedure that reduces the time and cost of the analysis, solvent consumption and sample manipulation, enabling routine analysis of large numbers of samples for histamine and highly accurate and precise results.

Abstract
Although many studies have shown that histamine and its signaling regulate energy homeostasis through the central nervous system, their roles in adipose tissues remain poorly understood. Here, we identified that the histamine H4 receptor (HrH4) was highly expressed in adipocytes at a level higher than that of the other three receptors (i.e., HrH1, HrH2, and HrH3). The HrH4 expression in adipocytes responded to cold through thermogenesis and lipolysis, supported by results from both mouse and cell models. When HrH4 expression was knocked down in the subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT), browning and lipolysis effects triggered by cold were ablated, and the oxygen consumption was also lowered both at the normal and cold conditions. Moreover, mice exhibited browned scWAT, accelerated metabolic rates, and tolerance to hypothermia when 4-methylhistamine (4MH), a selective HrH4 agonist, was adjacently injected to the scWAT. Consistent with these findings, 4MH also triggered the browning and lipolytic effects in cultured C3H10T1/2 adipocytes. Mechanically, we demonstrated that p38/MAPK and ERK/MAPK pathways were involved in these processes. In conclusion, our findings have uncovered an effective role of HrH4 in adipose tissue browning.

Abstract
Histamine is a heterocyclic amine formed by decarboxylation of the amino acid l-histidine. It is involved in the local regulation of physiological processes but also can occur exogenously in the food supply. Histamine is toxic at high intakes; therefore, determination of the histamine level in food is an important aspect of food safety. This article will review the current understanding of physiological functions of endogenous and ingested histamine with a particular focus placed on existing and emerging technologies for histamine quantification in food. Methods reported in this article are sequentially arranged and provide a brief overview of analytical methods reported, including those based on nanotechnologies.

Abstract
Allergic diseases are characterized by the activation of inflammatory cells and by a massive release of mediators. The aim of this chapter was to describe succinctly the modes of action, indications, and side effects of the major antiallergic and antiasthmatic drugs. When considering the ideal pharmacokinetic characteristics of a drug, a poorly metabolized drug may confer a lower variability in plasma concentrations and metabolism-based drug interactions, although poorly metabolized drugs may be prone to transporter-based disposition and interactions. The ideal pharmacological properties of a drug include high binding affinity, high selectivity, and appropriate association and dissociation rates. Finally, from a patient perspective, the frequency and route of administration are important considerations for ease of use.

Abstract
Aims. To measure blood and tissue concentrations of the H1-receptor antagonist, bepotastine besilate (BB). Methods. Participants included 14 men and six women, whose age ranged from 13 to 76 years, with chronic rhinosinusitis, who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery at our university hospital. Among them, 10 participants had allergic rhinitis (AR) (Group I), and others did not have AR (Group II). Nasal mucosa and blood were collected 55 to 130 minutes after oral administration of BB 10 mg. Concentrations of the agent in the serum and nasal mucosa were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. Results. Concentrations of BB of the serum in Group I and II were 98 ± 32 ng/mL and 112 ± 39 ng/mL. Those of the nasal mucosa tissue in Groups I and II were 101 ± 36 ng/g and 132 ± 44 ng/g. There was no significant difference in the values of concentration of BB between the serum and the nasal mucosa in either Group I or II (P = .757 and P = .2662, resp., Paired t-test). Conclusion. This preliminary study is considered the first report on the concentration of H1-receptor antagonists in nasal mucosa. The prompt absorption and transition to the nasal mucosa of BB seems to have an effect on allergic rhinitis.

Abstract
The cells involved in the regulation of immune responses and hematopoiesis express histamine receptors and secrete histamine. Histamine acting through four types of its receptors has been shown not only to affect chronic inflammatory responses but also to regulate several essential events in the immune response. Histamine signals have a role in the mechanisms of tolerance induced during allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT), acting mainly through its receptor (HR) type 2. It positively interferes with the peripheral antigen tolerance induced by T regulatory cells in several pathways. The rationale for the concomitant use of H1 antihistamines during SIT is diverse and includes reduction of its immediate side effects as well as enhancement of mechanisms of specific tolerance and anti-inflammatory effects of vaccination.

Abstract
A number of recent studies have led to a reappraisal of the functional capacities of histamine in immunity and hematopoiesis. This change of perspective was provided by the following findings: (1) the evidence for multiple cellular sources of histamine, differing from mature basophils and mast cells by their ability to newly synthesize and liberate the mediator without prior storage, (2) the discovery of a novel histamine receptor (H4R), preferentially expressed on hematopoietic and immunocompetent cells, (3) the potential intracellular activity of histamine through cytochrome P450 and (4) the demonstration of a histamine-cytokine cross-talk. Indeed, cytokines not only modulate the degranulation process of histamine but also control its neosynthesis by the histamine-forming enzyme, histidine decarboxylase (HDC), at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. In turn, histamine intervenes in the intricate cytokine network, regulating cytokine production by immune cells through distinct receptors signaling distinct biological effects. This type of regulation is particularly relevant in the context of TH1/TH2 differentiation, autoimmunity and tumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Histamine was the first mediator implicated in mechanisms of allergy, asthma, and anaphylactic shock because it has been discovered to mimic several features of these diseases. In addition to its well-characterized effects in the acute inflammatory and allergic responses, it was recently demonstrated that histamine regulates several essential events in the immune response. Histamine affects the maturation of immune system cells and alters their activation, polarization, chemotaxis, and effector functions. Histamine also regulates antigen-specific T(H)1 and T(H)2 cells, as well as related antibody isotype responses. Histamine binds to 4 different G protein-coupled receptors that transduce signals to cells through distinct pathways. The expression of these receptors on different cells and cell subsets is regulated, and apparently, the diverse effects of histamine on immune regulation are due to differential expression of 4 histamine receptors and their distinct intracellular signals. This article highlights novel discoveries in histamine immunobiology and discusses clinical findings or disease models that indicate immune regulation by histamine.

Abstract
Histamine is a potent bioamine with multiple activities in various pathological and physiological conditions. In addition to its well-characterised effects in the acute inflammatory and allergic responses, histamine regulates several aspects of antigen-specific immune response development. Histamine affects the maturation of dendritic cells and alters their T cell-polarising capacity. Histamine also regulates antigen-specific T helper 1 and T helper 2 cells, as well as related antibody isotype responses. Apparently, diverse effects of histamine on immune regulation are because of differential expression of four types of histamine receptors and their distinct intracellular signals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mizolastine is a potent and selective H1-receptor antagonist with antiallergic properties; in in-vitro animal models, mizolastine was shown to inhibit 5-lipoxygenase activity and to decrease the release of leukotrienes (LT) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). This study investigated the effects of three concentrations of mizolastine (0.1, 1.0, 10 microM) on the release of LT (LTB4 and LTC4/D4) and prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) after stimulation by anti-IgE, and on the spontaneous release of cytokines (TNF-alpha and granulocyte/macrophage-colony-stimulating factor [GM-CSF]), from dispersed cells obtained from surgically resected nasal polyps of patients with nasal polyposis. METHODS Cells from nasal polyps were obtained using enzymatic dispersion. For experiments involving the measurement of LT and PGD2, the cells were preincubated with mizolastine or its dissolution vehicle for 20 min prior to challenge with 10 microg/ml epsilon-chain specific anti-IgE for 45 min at 37 degrees C; for the cytokine release, cells were incubated with mizolastine or its dissolution vehicle for 24 h. LT and PGD2 were measured by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and cytokines by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using commercially available kits. RESULTS Mizolastine inhibited significantly and in a dose-dependent manner the release of LTB4 and TNF-alpha at all concentrations, LTC4/D4 at 10 microM, and GM-CSF from 1 microM; no effect was observed on the release of PGD2. CONCLUSION Mizolastine inhibits the release of LT, TNF-alpha and GM-CSF in this in vitro model, which mimics closely the inflammatory cells of allergic rhinitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Histamine is an important chemical mediator in allergic rhinitis. Histamine is synthesized by L-histidine, catalysed by L-histidine decarboxylase (HDC) and metabolized mainly by histamine N-methyltransferase (HMT). The patients with allergic rhinitis may have altered histamine metabolism in the nasal tissue. OBJECTIVE The objective was to compare the expression of HDC mRNA and HMT mRNA in nasal mucosa with normal individuals and patients with allergic rhinitis. METHODS We extracted RNA from scrapings of inferior turbinate mucosa of 11 patients with allergic rhinitis and from 11 normal subjects and from surgically dissected inferior turbinate mucosa of 11 patients. HDC, HMT and beta-actin mRNA were amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS The mean +/- SD of HDC/beta-actin ratios were 0.58 +/- 0.28 for the scrapings of normal subjects, 0.93 +/- 0.38 for the scrapings of the patients with allergic rhinitis and 1.41 +/- 0.26 for the inferior turbinates of the patients with allergic rhinitis. The mean +/- SD of HMT/beta-actin ratios were 1.66 +/- 0.27 for the scrapings of normal subjects, 0.93 +/- 0.20 for the scrapings of the patients with allergic rhinitis and 0.65 +/- 0.28 for the inferior turbinates of the patients with allergic rhinitis. The differences among the three groups were statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Increased HDC mRNA expression and decreased HMT mRNA expression may be playing some role in the hyperresponsiveness of patients with allergic rhinitis.

Abstract
The present studies have demonstrated the levels of N-methyl histamine in tears from normal physiological states, pathological states and contact lens wear. Histamine was significantly increased in closed eye tears compared with both open and reflex tears. Tears from other ocular conditions had low levels of histamine except for environmental hypersensitivity, which contained significantly elevated levels compared to normal tear types. Interestingly, tears from asymptomatic contact lens wearers had significant levels of histamine whereas tears from contact lens adverse events had lower levels, possibly reflecting a change in histamine metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Histamine N-methyltransferase (HMT) modulates histamine- and antigen-induced bronchoconstriction. However, it is unclear whether vascular permeability evoked by an allergic reaction can be exaggerated by inhibition of HMT activity. METHODS We studied the effects of intravenously injected SKF 91488, a specific HMT inhibitor, on increases in plasma extravasation induced by intravenously injected histamine in unsensitized guinea pigs and by intravenously injected ovalbumin antigen in guinea pigs sensitized to ovalbumin in vivo with Evans blue dye as a marker. RESULTS Pretreatment with SKF 91488 shifted, in a dose-dependent fashion, the dose-response curves of the leakage of dye to histamine to lower concentrations in the trachea, main bronchi, and nasal mucosa. Likewise, pretreatment with SKF 91488 (20 mg/kg intravenously) significantly increased the leakage of dye induced by ovalbumin antigen (200 micrograms/kg intravenously) in three parts of the airway (p < 0.05). In contrast to SKF 91488, intravenously injected aminoguanidine, a specific inhibitor of diamine oxidase (16 mg/kg intravenously), did not alter the leakage of dye induced by histamine (from 0.001 microgram/kg to 10 micrograms/kg intravenously) (p < 0.20). HMT activities were observed in the nasal mucosa, as well as in the trachea and main bronchi, as shown in a previous study. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that HMT modulates the effects of exogenous histamine and endogenously released histamine induced by antigen challenge on plasma extravasation in the airway in guinea pigs in vivo.

Abstract
Edema occurs in some types of chronic inflammation such as nasal polyps, uterine cervical polyps and gastric hyperplastic polyps. However, the factors or cellular components involved in the development of edema in chronic inflammation remain to be clarified. Recently, the gene encoding vascular permeability factor (VPF) or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the genes encoding its receptors (kinase insert domain-containing receptor (KDR) and fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 [fit-1]) have been cloned. VPF/VEGF induces vascular hyperpermeability and vascular endothelial proliferation through KDR or fit-1 receptors. As there is a possibility that VPF/VEGF may play a role in the development of edema in chronic inflammation, we examined the messenger (m) RNA expression of VPF/VEGF and its receptors in nasal polyp tissues, which is an example of chronic inflammation with remarkable edema. Using northern blotting, all nasal polyp tissues examined expressed mRNA of VPF/VEGF and KDR. In situ hybridization revealed that VPF/VEGF mRNA-expressing cells were scattered in the edematous stroma of nasal polyps. In the adjacent sections, these cells showed the morphological features of plasma cells and expressed mRNA of immunoglobulin light chains. Human B cell leukemia and plasmacytoma cell lines expressed VPF/VEGF mRNA but human mast-cell leukemia and T cell leukemia cell lines did not. The alternatively spliced pattern of VPF/VEGF transcripts observed in nasal polyp tissues was consistent with that in plasmacytoma cell lines. Taken together, the VPF/VEGF mRNA-expressing cells in nasal polyps appeared to be plasma cells, suggesting that plasma cells may play an important role in the development of edema in chronic inflammation through the production of VPF/VEGF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Histamine is metabolized mainly by histamine N-methyltransferase (HMT) to N tau-methylhistamine in human nasal mucosa. Human HMT cDNA has been cloned and expressed in COS cells. The purpose of this study was to determine the localization of HMT METHODS: The fragment (nucleotide residues 430-1055) of human HMT cDNA was subcloned in a Bluescript vector (Stratagene, La Jolla, Calif.), and HMT sense anti-sense RNA probes were made with T7 and T3 RNA polymerases. In situ hybridization with digoxigenin-labeled RNA probes was performed on surgical specimens of human nasal turbinates. RESULTS HMT mRNA was localized in cells in the epithelium and submucosa, and densely in endothelial cells of vessels. No HMT mRNA was identified in the submucosal glands. The presence of HMT mRNA was confirmed by Northern blot analysis, and HMT activities were also detected in nasal mucosa. CONCLUSION Our study indicates that endothelium expresses HMT mRNA, whereas cells in the epithelium and submucosa, which remain unidentified, are an additional source of HMT mRNA.

Abstract
We have reported the presence of a histamine synthesizing enzyme, histidine decarboxylase (HDC), and histamine degrading enzymes, histamine N-methyltransferase (HMT) and histaminase (diamine oxidase, DAO) in human nasal mucosa and the histamine content of the mucosa. In this study, we demonstrate the influences of the toluene diisocyanate (TDI) treatment on the histamine content and these enzyme activities in guinea-pigs as an animal model of respiratory hypersensitivity. Application of TDI to the nasal vestibuli induced intense nasal allergy-like and mild asthma-like responses in TDI-sensitized guinea pigs. Increases in the histamine content and HDC and HMT activities were observed in the nasal mucosa and lung of TDI-sensitized guinea pigs. No apparent changes in the histaminase activities were observed in either the nasal mucosa or the lung. These data suggest that the turnover rate of histamine is increased in the nasal mucosa and the lung of guinea pigs with respiratory hypersensitivity.
