Abstract:
Brain histamine is a neurotransmitter and regulates diverse physiological functions. Previous studies have shown the involvement of histamine depletion in several neurological disorders, indicating the importance of drug development targeting the brain histamine system. Histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT) is a histamine-metabolising enzyme expressed in the brain. Although pharmacological studies using HNMT inhibitors have been conducted to reveal the direct involvement of HNMT in brain functions, HNMT inhibitors with high specificity and sufficient blood–brain barrier permeability have not been available until now. Recently, we have phenotyped Hnmt-deficient mice to elucidate the importance of HNMT in the central nervous system. Hnmt disruption resulted in a robust increase in brain histamine concentration, demonstrating the essential role of HNMT in the brain histamine system. Clinical studies have suggested that single nucleotide polymorphisms of the human HNMT gene are associated with several brain disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Postmortem studies also have indicated that HNMT expression is altered in human brain diseases. These findings emphasise that an increase in brain histamine levels by novel HNMT inhibitors could contribute to the improvement of brain disorders.

Abstract:
Histamine is a neuromodulator that affects gut motility and visceral sensitivity through intrinsic and extrinsic neural pathways, yet the mechanisms regulating histamine availability in these pathways remain poorly understood. Here, we show that enteric glia contribute to histamine clearance in the enteric nervous system (ENS) through their expression of the enzyme histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT). Glial HNMT expression was initially assessed using immunolabeling and gene expression, and functionally tested using CRISPR-Cas9 to create a Cre-dependent conditional Hnmt ablation model targeting glia. Immunolabeling, calcium imaging, and visceromotor reflex recordings were used to assess the effects on ENS structure and visceral hypersensitivity. Immunolabeling and gene expression data show that enteric neurons and glia express HNMT. Deleting Hnmt in Sox10+ enteric glia increased glial histamine levels and altered visceromotor responses to colorectal distension in male mice, with no effect in females. Interestingly, deleting glial Hnmt protected males from histamine-driven visceral hypersensitivity. These data uncover a significant role for glial HNMT in histamine degradation in the gut, which impacts histamine-driven visceral hypersensitivity in a sex-dependent manner. Changes in the capacity of glia to clear histamines could play a role in the susceptibility to developing visceral pain in disorders of the gut–brain interaction.

Abstract:
To elucidate the modulatory role of histamine-degrading enzymes in airway constrictor responses, human bronchial strips were studied under isometric conditionsin vitro. Pretreatment of tissues with the histamine N-methyltransferase (HMT) inhibitor SKF 91488 specifically potentiated the contractile responses to histamine, causing a leftward displacement of the concentration response curves, whereas the diamine oxidase inhibitor aminoguanidine had no effect. This potentiation was attenuated by mechanical removal of the epithelium. The HMT activity was detected in the human bronchi, which was less in the epithelium-denuded tissues than the epithelium-intact tissues. These results suggest that HMT localized to the airway epithelium may play a protective role against histamine-mediated bronchoconstriction in humans.

Abstract:
Histamine N-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.8) was purified 1100-fold from ox brain. The native enzyme has an Mr of 34800 +/- 2400 as measured by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The enzyme is highly specific for histamine. It does not methylate noradrenaline, adrenaline, DL-3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, 3-hydroxytyramine or imidazole-4-acetic acid. Unlike the enzyme from rat and mouse brain, ox brain histamine N-methyltransferase did not exhibit substrate inhibition by histamine. Initial rate and product inhibition studies were consistent with an ordered steady-state mechanism with S-adenosylmethionine being the first substrate to bind to the enzyme and N-methylhistamine being the first product to dissociate.

Abstract:
Bei Schweinen lassen sich im Anfangsteil des Dickdarms hohe Konzentrationen an Histamin nachweisen. Zum einen wird viel exogenes Histamin in der Ingesta durch Bakterien gebildet. Zum anderen befindet sich im proximalen Kolon viel endogenes Histamin, welches in verschiedenen Populationen von Mastzellen gespeichert ist. Beide Histaminquellen stellen eine potenzielle Gefahr für die Gesundheit des Tieres dar. Sollte Histamin in den vorhandenen Mengen in die Blutzirkulation übertreten, müsste mit dem Tod des Tieres gerechnet werden. Da unter normalen Bedingungen bei Schweinen keine pathophysiologischen Reaktionen auf die hohen Histaminkonzentrationen im Darm beobachtet werden können, muss auf eine effektive Darmbarriere geschlossen werden. Weil weder diese Barriere bisher untersucht wurde, noch bekannt war, welche Wirkung Histamin in diesem Darmteil des Schweins besitzt, sollte in dieser Arbeit Wirkung, Permeation und Katabolismus von Histamin an isolierten Epithelien des proximalen Kolons mit Hilfe der Ussing-Kammer-Technik untersucht werden. Die Zugabe von Histamin zur serosalen Seite der Epithelien führte zu einem schnellen Anstieg des Kurzschlussstroms. Im Gegensatz zu zahlreichen anderen Untersuchungen an Darmepithelien, in denen eine H1-vermittelte Wirkung von Histamin gefunden wurde, wurde die Wirkung am proximalen Kolon des Schweins über H2-Rezeptoren vermittelt. Die Änderung des Kurzschlussstroms nach Histaminzugabe resultierte aus einer Chloridsekretion. Eine Chloridsekretion scheint somit eine generelle Wirkung von Histamin auf Darmepithelien zu sein, unabhängig von der Art des Wirkungs-vermittelnden Rezeptortyps. Histamin wurde aus den Epithelpräparationen spontan und nach Stimulation von Mastzellen freigesetzt. Obwohl nach Mastzellstimulation eine hohe Histaminfreisetzung beobachtet werden konnte, war dieses Histamin nicht an der sich aus der Stimulation ergebenen elektrophysiologischen Reaktion des Epithels beteiligt. In Fluxstudien mit radiaktiv markiertem Histamin wurde eine konzentrationsabhängige Histaminpermeation über das Epithel festgestellt. Diese Permeation ist von mukosal nach serosal scheinbar parazellulär lokalisiert. Dagegen scheint bei der Permeation von serosal nach mukosal ein transzellulärer Anteil vorhanden zu sein, da eine aktive Sekretion von Histamin in das Darmlumen festgestellt werden konnte. Während der Permeation von Histamin über das Epithel wurde in Abhängigkeit von der vorgegebenen Konzentration zwischen 80% und 100% des permeirenden Histamins verstoffwechselt. Somit besteht eine effektive Darmbarriere gegenüber exogenem Histamin, die sich aus einer geringen Permeation und einer hohen intraepithelialen Verstoffwechselung von Histamin zusammensetzt. Beide für den Abbau von Histamin in Frage kommenden Enzyme, Diaminoxidase (DAO) und Histamin-N-Methyltransferase (HNMT), sind am Katabolismus von Histamin beteiligt. Während in der Literatur die DAO als das „bedeutendste Enzym des Histaminkatabolismus am Darm“ angegeben wird, ist am proximalen Kolon des Schweins die HNMT wichtiger für den Histaminabbau. Beide Enzyme bewerkstelligen sowohl den Abbau von endogen freigesetztem Histamin als auch von transepithelial permeierendem Histamin. Somit hätte eine Hemmung dieser Enzyme, die durch eine Vielzahl von Stoffen, darunter gebräuchliche Arzneimittel, hervorgerufen werden kann, dramatische Konsequenzen. In diesem Fall würde der Körper in hohen Maßen sowohl von endogenem als auch von exogenem Histamin aus dem Darm belastet werden<br>In the oral part of pig large intestine, high amounts of luminal histamine can be found due to bacterial production. Further more, histamine is abundantly present in the intestinal wall, where it is stored in different populations of mast cells. Both sources of histamine, exogenous and endogenous, are very dangerous for the body, because histamine is able to elicit systemic effects when it is spilt over in the systemic circulation. Under normal conditions no pathophysiological reactions can be observed in pigs due to the high amounts of histamine in the gut. Therefore, it must be concluded that there is a very effective barrier against luminal histamine. However, neither the barrier function has been characterized yet, nor is there any data available on the action of histamine in this part of the porcine gut. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect, permeation and catabolism of histamine in isolated epithelia of the proximal colon by using the Ussing chamber technique. Addition of histamine to the serosal side induced a rapid rise in short-circuit current. In contrast to many studies investigating the action of histamine in other gut epithelia, in the pig proximal colon histamine acts via H2 receptors. Histamine induced a chloride secretion, which seems to be a common mechanism of gut epithelia, independent from histamine receptor type involved. Endogenous histamine was liberated spontaneously from the epithelia in small amounts. High amounts of histamine were found after a mast cell stimulation. However, this histamine did not participate in a concurrent electrophysiological reaction of the epithelia. In flux studies with radioactively labeled histamine, a transepithelial permeation of histamine was observed in a dose dependent manner. This permeation was located on the paracellular pathway in the mucosal-to-serosal direction. In the serosal-to-mucosal direction a, at least in part, transcellular pathway must be concluded from the observed histamine secretion into the gut lumen. Among 80% and 100% of histamine was catabolised dose-dependently during permeation. Therefore, the very effective gut barrier against histamine is based on a low paracellular permeation and a high intraepithelial catabolism of histamine. The histamine-degrading enzymes, diamine oxidase (DAO) and histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT), took both part in the catabolism of histamine. While in literature DAO is called “the bottleneck of histamine degradation in the gut”, HNMT seems to be more significant in pig proximal colon. DAO and HNMT are important for the catabolism of exogenous and endogenous histamine. Therefore, inhibition of these enzymes, which is possible by numerous drugs, would have dramatic consequences. In that case, high amounts of histamine would be able to reach the systemic circulation

Abstract:
碩士<br>臺北醫學大學<br>醫學科學研究所<br>97<br>Giloma derive from glial cell, which contribute about 90% of brain cells. The functions of glial cells are offering support and nutrition, forming myelin sheath and blood brain barrier.The most common glioma is glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and the possible causes are not fully understood. Neurosurgery unable to remove the glioma from normal brain clearly;Glioma even resisten to high dose of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The prognosis of malignant glioma remains dismal and the estimated median survival time is <1 year.It is emergent to develop new therapic policy and find out target genes. Previous data investigate that cotreatment with interleukin-2 (IL-2) and histamine inhibits growth and angiogenesis in malignant glioma. It also suggests that histamine has function of tumor suppression. In cytosol, histamine is metabolized by histamine-N- methyltransferase (HNMT). The concentration of histamine and its products have association with glioma. However, there is no direct evidence to investigate the roles of HNMT in growth and pathogenesis of glioma. Our data demonstrate that either specisement of GBM or glioma cell lines express more HNMT than normal brain tissue. More amount of HNMT suggests less tumorspressive histamine. On the other hands, we also find that epidermal growth factor (EGF), a glioma inducing factor, increases the expression of HNMT and changes the location of HNMT in glioma cell line. Collectively, our data provide hint that HNMT is another noval theraptic target for deadly glioma.
