Effect of Glucocorticoid on Upregulation of Histamine H1Receptor mRNA in Nasal Mucosa of Rats Sensitized by Exposure to Toluene Diisocyanate

Abstract: As shown in TDI-sensitized rats, our findings suggest that the upregulation of H1R in the nasal mucosa is one of the mechanisms responsible for nasal hypersensitivity behavior and nasal hypersensitivity to histamine and that the therapeutic effects of dexamethasone are, in part, due to its inhibitory action on the upregulation of H1R.

“…Although AR, defined as an IgE-mediated disease, could be different from TDI-induced, non-IgE-mediated rhinitis, nasal allergic-like symptoms induced by TDI are similar to those observed in AR patients (38,39). Additionally, TDI-sensitized rats also display many of the characteristic features of AR in humans, including infiltration of eosinophils and mast cells (40), increase in the level of cytokines (8,(41)(42)(43), elevation of H1R mRNA and protein level (12), increase in the HDC mRNA level, HDC activity, and histamine content (13), even though histamine release was triggered by neuropeptide, but not IgE, in TDI-sensitized animals. Furthermore, the expression of IL-4 and IL-5 mRNAs was also up-regulated in the nasal mucosa of TDI-sensitized rats after provocation with TDI (16,17).…”

“…The strength of H1R signaling depends on the H1R expression level (8). Our recent studies have demonstrated that the level of H1R gene expression is strongly correlated with the severity of allergic symptoms in model rats and patients with pollinosis (9,10), and compounds that suppress H1R gene up-regulation alleviate allergic symptoms (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). These findings suggest that the H1R gene is an allergy-sensitive gene, i.e.…”
