“…TNFα increases the amount, as well as the activity, of G proteins in several cell types including airway smooth muscle 1719-21 The finding that TNFα enhances calcium mobilisation in response to NaF,7 an agent that bypasses membrane receptors and directly activates G proteins,22 23 supports the notion that TNFα acts directly at the level of G proteins rather than modifying the expression of contractile agonist receptors. This observation supports previous findings that, despite increased calcium signals to carbachol, TNFα did not increase muscarinic receptor numbers 5…”

“…There are four subtypes of surface receptors that mediate responses to histamine (H 1 , H 2 , H 3 , and H 4 receptors). Stimulation with histamine is known to increase hydrolysis of phosphoinositol, enhance accumulation of inositol phosphates, and elevate [Ca 2ϩ ] cyt (22). In the human pulmonary vasculature, histamine exerts dual functional effects, both vasoconstrictive and vasodilatory, mediated by receptors located on both PASMC and PAEC (4).…”

“…Conversely, glucocorticoids inhibit expression of NK2 receptors in bovine ASM [94], inhibit m2 mAChR expression in the airway [200], and inhibit the IL-1β-mediated up-regulation of B2 bradykinin (BK) receptors in the airway [201]. Pretreatment of human ASM cells with glucocorticoids significantly inhibits histamine-stimulated phosphoinositide production [202]. Thus the sum of effects of glucocorticoids on GPCR signal transduction components tends to render ASM less responsive to procontractile stimuli and more responsiveness to betaagonists.…”
