Histamine‐induced inhibition of leukotriene biosynthesis in human neutrophils: involvement of the H<sub>2</sub> receptor and cAMP
Bibliographic record
Abstract
1. Histamine is generally regarded as a pro-inflammatory mediator in diseases such as allergy and asthma. A growing number of studies, however, suggest that this autacoid is also involved in the downregulation of human polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) functions and inflammatory responses through activation of the Gs-coupled histamine H(2) receptor. 2. We report here that histamine inhibits thapsigargin- and ligand (PAF and fMLP)-induced leukotriene (LT) biosynthesis in human PMN in a dose-dependent manner. 3. The suppressive effect of histamine on LT biosynthesis was abrogated by the histamine H(2) receptor antagonists cimetidine, ranitidine, and tiotidine. In contrast, the histamine H(1), H(3), and H(4) receptor antagonists used in this study were ineffective in counteracting the inhibitory effect of histamine on the biosynthesis of LT in activated human PMN. 4. The inhibition of LT biosynthesis by histamine was characterized by decreased arachidonic acid release and 5-lipoxygenase translocation to the nuclear membrane. 5. Incubation of PMN with the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) inhibitor N-[2-(p-bromocinnamylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinoline-sulfonamide prevented the inhibitory effect of histamine on LT biosynthesis, suggesting an important role for PKA in this effect of histamine on LT biosynthesis in PMN. 6. These data provide the first evidences that, similarly to adenosine and prostaglandin E(2), histamine is a potent suppressor of LT biosynthesis, and support the concept that histamine may play a dual role in the regulation of inflammation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
