Abstract
Considering the importance of pain and stress, we decided to investigate the intra-anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) microinjection of histamine and mepyramine alone and concurrently on acute pain induced by hot plate following restraint stress in male rats. 24-gauge, 10 mm stainless steel guide cannula was implanted over the ACC in the incised scalp of 4 groups. Restraint stress in healthy rats produced a significant increase (p < .05) in the pain threshold. The simultaneous microinjection of 4 μg/side histamine and 8 μg/side mepyramine as a histaminergic system inverse agonist in healthy nonrestraint animals did not affect the pain threshold. Although Histamine decreased the threshold of pain meaningfully, mepyramine elevated it in a significant manner (p < .05). In the restrained animals, intra-ACC microinjection of histamine produced no significant impact on the pain threshold. However, intra-ACC microinjection of mepyramine before histamine, significantly (p < .01) altered the result and enhanced the threshold of pain. The results of our study demonstrated that histaminergic neurons have an important role in the processing of pain in the ACC following restraint stress.

Abstract
Most neurotransmitter systems are represented in the central and peripheral vestibular system and are thereby involved both in normal vestibular signal processing and the pathophysiology of vestibular disorders. However, there is a special relationship between the vestibular system and the histaminergic system. The purpose of this review is to document how the histaminergic system interferes with normal and pathological vestibular function. In particular, we will discuss neurobiological mechanisms such as neuroinflammation that involve histamine to modulate and allow restoration of balance function in the situation of a vestibular insult. These adaptive mechanisms represent targets of histaminergic pharmacological compounds capable of restoring vestibular function in pathological situations. The clinical use of drugs targeting the histaminergic system in various vestibular disorders is critically discussed.

Abstract
The relationship between migraines and allergies is controversial. Though they are epidemiologically linked, the underlying pathophysiological connection between them remains unclear. Migraines and allergic disorders have various underlying genetic and biological causes. As per the literature, these conditions are epidemiologically linked, and some common pathophysiological pathways have been hypothesized. The histaminergic system may be the clue to understanding the correlation among these diseases. As a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system with a vasodilatory effect, histamine has a well-documented influence on the allergic response and could be involved in the pathophysiology of migraines. Histamine may influence hypothalamic activity, which may play a major role in migraines or may simply influence their severity. In both cases, antihistamine drugs could prove useful. This review examines whether the histaminergic system, particularly H3 and H4 receptors, may provide a mechanistic link between the pathophysiology of migraines and allergic disorders, two common and debilitating conditions. Identifying their connection could help identify novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Transcriptional analyses such as microarray data have contributed to the progress in the diagnostics and therapy of colorectal cancer (CRC). The need for such research is still present because of the disease being common in both men and women with a high second position in cancer rankings. Little is known about the relations between the histaminergic system and inflammation in the large intestine and CRC. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of genes related to the histaminergic system and inflammation in the CRC tissues at three cancer development designs: all tested CRC samples, low (LCS) and high (HCS) clinical stage, and four clinical stages (CSI-CSIV), to the control. The research was carried out at the transcriptomic level, analysing hundreds of mRNAs from microarrays, as well as carrying out RT-PCR analysis of histaminergic receptors. The following histaminergic mRNAs: GNA15, MAOA, WASF2A, and inflammation-related: AEBP1, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3, CXCL8, SPHK1, TNFAIP6, were distinguished. Among all analysed transcripts, AEBP1 can be considered the most promising diagnostic marker in the early stage of CRC. The results showed 59 correlations between differentiating genes of the histaminergic system and inflammation in the control, control and CRC, and CRC. The tests confirmed the presence of all histamine receptor transcripts in both the control and colorectal adenocarcinoma. Significant differences in expression were stated for HRH2 and HRH3 in the advanced stages of CRC adenocarcinoma. The relations between the histaminergic system and inflammation-linked genes in both the control and the CRC have been observed.

Abstract
Previous studies have not completely elucidated the role of the histaminergic system in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of adalimumab and cyclosporine A on the expression of histaminergic system-related genes and miRNAs regulating these genes in bacterial lipopolysaccharide A (LPS)-stimulated human keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells. HaCaT cells were treated with 1 µg/mL LPS for 8 h, followed by treatment with 8 µg/mL adalimumab or 100 ng/mL cyclosporine A for 2, 8, or 24 h. Untreated cells served as controls. The cells were subjected to ribonucleic acid (RNA) extraction and microarray, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analyses. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistica 13.0 PL (StatSoft, Cracow, Poland) and the Transcriptome Analysis Console programs (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA) (p < 0.05). The differential expression of the following two miRNAs was not affected in LPS-stimulated cells upon treatment with cyclosporine A or adalimumab: hsa-miR-583 (downregulated expression), involved in the regulation of histamine receptor 1 - HRH1 (overexpression); has-miR-1275 (downregulated expression), involved in the regulation of histamine receptor 1 - HRH3 (overexpression) and Solute carrier family 22 member 3 - SLC23A2 (downregulated expression)). Adalimumab and cyclosporine A modulated the histaminergic system in HaCaT cells in vitro. However, further studies are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.Abbreviations: (-) - downregulated in comparison to the control, (+) - overexpression in comparison to the control, ACTB - β-actine, ADA - Adenosine deaminase, ADCYAP1 - Adenylate Cyclase Activating Polypeptide 1, BMP - bone morphogenetic protein, bp - base pair, cAMP - adenosine 3' 5'-cyclic monophosphate, CBX7 - Chromobox protein homolog 7, cDNA - double-stranded complementary DNA, CSA - cyclosporine A DAG - diacylglycerol, DIAPH - Diaphanous related formin 1, DNMT - DNA methyltransferases, DRD2 - Dopamine receptor D2, EDN1 - Endothelin 1, EDNRA - Endothelin receptor type A, ELISA - Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, EZH2 - Enhancer of zeste homolog 2, FC - fold change, GABRB1 - Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, alpha 1, GABRB2 - Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, alpha 2, GABRB3 - Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, alpha 3, HaCaT - Human adult, low-calcium, high-temperature keratinocytes, HIS - Human Histamine, HLAs - human leukocyte antigens, HNMT - Histamine N-methyltransferase, HNMT - Histamine N-Methyltransferase, HRH1 - histamine receptor 1, HRH2 - histamine receptor 2, HRH3 - histamine receptor 3, HRH4 - histamine receptor 4, HTR6 - 5-Hydroxytryptamine Receptor 6, IGF1 - Insulin-like growth factor 1, IL10 -interleukin 10, IL12 -interleukin 12, IL6 - interleukin 6, IP3 - inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate, LPS - bacterial lipopolysaccharide A, LYN - LYN Proto-Oncogene, Src Family Tyrosine Kinase, MAPKs -mitogen-activated protein kinases, miRNA - micro RNA, MMP2 - matrix metalloproteinase-2, NHDF - Normal Human Dermal Fibroblasts, NHEK - Normal Human Epidermal Keratinocytes, OCT3 - organic cation transporter 3, PANTHER - Protein ANalysis THrough Evolutionary Relationships Classification, PBS - phosphate-buffered saline, PI3K-AKT - phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-protein kinase B, PIP2 - phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate, PMSF - phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, PSORS1- psoriasis susceptibility gene 1, qRT-PCR - quantitative Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction, RNA - ribonucleic acid, RNAi - RNA interference, RTqPCR - Real-Time Quantitative Reverse Transcription Reaction, SLC223A2 - Solute carrier family 22 member 3, SNX -Sorting nexin, SOX9 - SRY-Box Transcription Factor 9, TGF-α - transforming growth factor α, TGF-β - transforming growth factor beta, TNF-α - tumor necrosis factor alpha, TP53 - tumor protein 5 z, VAMP2 - Vesicle associated membrane protein 2.

Abstract
A relationship appears to exist between dysfunction of brain histamine (HA) and various neuropsychiatric brain disorders. The possible involvement of brain HA in neuropathology has gained attention recently, and its role in many (patho)physiological brain functions including memory, cognition, and sleep-wake cycle paved the way for further research on the etiology of several brain disorders. Histamine H3 receptor (H3R) evidenced in the brains of rodents and humans remains of special interest, given its unique position as a pre- and postsynaptic receptor, controlling the synthesis and release of HA as well as different other neurotransmitters in different brain regions, respectively. Despite several disappointing outcomes for several H3R antagonists/inverse agonists in clinical studies addressing their effectiveness in Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and schizophrenia (SCH), numerous H3R antagonists/inverse agonists showed great potentials in modulating memory and cognition, mood, and sleep-wake cycle, thus suggesting its potential role in neurocognitive and neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, PD, SCH, narcolepsy, and major depression in preclinical rodent models. In this review, we present preclinical applications of selected H3R antagonists/inverse agonists and their pharmacological effects on cognitive impairment, anxiety, depression, and sleep-wake cycle disorders. Collectively, the current review highlights the behavioral impact of developments of H3R antagonists/inverse agonists, aiming to further encourage researchers in the preclinical drug development field to profile the potential therapeutic role of novel antagonists/inverse agonists targeting histamine H3Rs.

Abstract
Research has indicated higher concentrations of histamine and polyamine in endometrioid tissue in comparison with healthy tissue. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the expression patterns of messenger RNA (mRNAs) and microRNA (miRNAs) related to the histaminergic system in endometrial samples and whole blood in women with endometrioid endometrial cancer. The study group consisted of 30 women with endometrioid endometrial cancer qualified for hysterectomy (G1 well-differentiated, 15 cases; G2 moderately differentiated, 8 cases; and G3 poorly differentiated, 7 cases). The control group included 30 women with no neoplastic changes during routine gynecological examinations. The molecular analysis consisted of the microarray analysis of mRNAs and miRNAs related to the histaminergic system, reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTqPCR), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Out of 65 mRNAs connected with the histaminergic system, 10 differentiate the samples of tissue and blood obtained from patients with endometrioid endometrial cancer in comparison with the control group (p < 0.05). mRNA histamine receptor 1,3 (HRH1, HRH3), and solute carrier family 22 member 3 (SLC23A2) differentiating samples of endometrioid endometrial cancer independent of either G or control. The highest probability of interaction, based on the target score miRDB, between the selected miRNAs and mRNAs was found for the hybrids hsa-miR-1-3p and endothelin 1 (END1), hsa-miR-27a-5β and SLC23A2. The selected mRNA and miRNA transcripts seem to be promising for molecularly targeted therapies in the context of endometrioid endometrial cancer.

Abstract
Bipolar disorder (BD) is an extremely disabling psychiatric disease, characterized by alternate states of mania (or hypomania) and depression with euthymic states in between. Currently, patients receive pharmacological treatment with mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and antidepressants. Unfortunately, not all patients respond well to this type of treatment. Bipolar patients are also more prone to heart and metabolic diseases as well as a higher risk of suicide compared to the healthy population. For a correct brain function is indispensable a right protein and lipids (e.g., fatty acids) balance. In particular, the amount of fatty acids in the brain corresponds to a 50–70% of the dry weight. It has been reported that in specific brain regions of BD patients there is a reduction in the content of unsaturated n-3 fatty acids. Accordingly, a diet rich in n-3 fatty acids has beneficial effects in BD patients, while their absence or high levels of saturated fatty acids in the diet are correlated to the risk of developing the disease. On the other hand, the histamine system is likely to be involved in the pathophysiology of several psychiatric diseases such as BD. Histamine is a neuromodulator involved in arousal, motivation, and energy balance; drugs acting on the histamine receptor H3 have shown potential as antidepressants and antipsychotics. The histaminergic system as other neurotransmission systems can be altered by fatty acid membrane composition. The purpose of this review is to explore how polyunsaturated fatty acids content alterations are related to the histaminergic system modulation and their impact in BD pathophysiology.

Abstract
The medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) plays a crucial role in spatial learning and memory. Whereas the MEC receives a dense histaminergic innervation from the tuberomamillary nucleus of the hypothalamus, the functions of histamine in this brain region remain unclear. Here, we show that histamine acts via H1Rs to directly depolarize the principal neurons in the superficial, but not deep, layers of the MEC when recording at somata. Moreover, histamine decreases the spontaneous GABA, but not glutamate, release onto principal neurons in the superficial layers by acting at presynaptic H3Rs without effect on synaptic release in the deep layers. Histamine-induced depolarization is mediated via inhibition of Kir channels and requires the activation of protein kinase C, whereas the inhibition of spontaneous GABA release by histamine depends on voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels and extracellular Ca(2+). Furthermore, microinjection of the H1R or H3R, but not H2R, antagonist respectively into the superficial, but not deep, layers of MEC impairs rat spatial learning as assessed by water maze tasks but does not affect the motor function and exploratory activity in an open field. Together, our study indicates that histamine plays an essential role in spatial learning by selectively regulating neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission in the superficial layers of the MEC.
