“…3b,c ). This progressive loss of histamine binding may be because of its degradation by histaminases present in the incubation medium 23 24 , or to its unspecific binding to heparin on cell membrane 32 or to bovine serum albumin (BSA) 33 . As we have shown that our compounds could internalize CXCR4, we studied the effect of CXCR4 natural ligand, CXCL12, on pDC activation.…”
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) are specialized in secretion of type I interferon in response to pathogens. Here we show that natural monoamines and synthetic amines inhibit pDC activation by RNA viruses. Furthermore, a synthetic analogue of histamine reduces type I interferon production in a mouse model of influenza infection. We identify CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) as a receptor used by amines to inhibit pDC. Our study establishes a functional link between natural amines and the innate immune system and identifies CXCR4 as a potential ‘on-off' switch of pDC activity with therapeutic potential.

(Refu le 10 mars 1969) Dihistaminocopper(II) perchlorate, Cu(C6HsN3)2(C104)2, crystallizes in the monoclinic system: a= 8.235 + 0-006, b = 13.676 + 0-009, c= 8.084 + 0.006 A, p= 100 ° 5' + 5' and Z= 2; space group P21/c. 1099 independent (hkl) reflexions of a single crystal, shaped like a truncated pyramid, have been measured at room temperature. Convergent refinement by the full-matrix least-squares method, with anisotropic temperature factors, led to a weighted R index of 9"4% including zero reflexions. Two histamine molecules are chelated to one copper atom, each one being bound by two nitrogen atoms, one -N(1)-belonging to the imidazole ring and one -N(3)H2 belonging to the side chain. Perchlorate ions build chains parallel to the a axis; they are 'semi-coordinated' to the copper atom of a complex ion
“…As far as we know, no study has investigated the relationship between BSA and histamine. Only a relatively old study reported the interaction of Cu(II)-BSA complex with histamine [24]. In our study, the binding affinity of BSA and histamine in physiologically relevant conditions was investigated using the CE-FA technique for the first time.…”
Histamine is a biogenic amine found in various body tissues and responsible for many critical vital activities. It is also responsible for allergic reactions in the body. Ingestion of foods containing high amounts of histamine can cause fatal allergic reactions. Albumin in plasma controls drugs and free concentrations of bioactive constituents taken to the body with food. Hence, this study aimed to characterise the interactions of histamine with bovine serum albumin. Capillary electrophoresis in the frontal analysis mode was employed in this study as a practical approach for assessing histamine‐bovine serum albumin affinity. The plateau‐shaped free histamine peak was well separated from the bovine serum albumin (BSA)‐histamine complex peak. The free histamine concentration was obtained by following the height of the free histamine peak. Whereas the bound histamine concentrations were obtained by calculating the difference between the height of total and free histamine peaks. Histamine bound to BSA at one independent site with a Kb value of 2.50 × 103 L/mol. Moreover, an in‐silico molecular docking method was performed, and it was revealed that the binding site of histamine was located closer to Lysine‐131 in subdomain IIA of bovine serum albumin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
