To observe the influence of betahistine on the expression of histamine H3 receptor in the medial vestibular nucleus (MVN) following unilateral labyrinthectomy (UL).
Fifty-six healthy guinea pigs were randomly divided into three groups:the sham-operated group (group I), the UL group[group II, and UL+betahistine (BET) group (group III)], BET was intraperitoneally injection at 2.17 mg×kg(-1)×d(-1) for 7 days. The expression of histamine H3 receptor was analyzed by immunohistochemistry at 1 day, 3 days and 7 days after UL.
H3 receptors were presented in the MVN and the expression of histamine H3 receptor were increased significantly in the ipsilateral MVN at 1 and 3 days after UL(P < 0.05), the change turned into the normal value at 7 days(P > 0.05). In the UL+BET group, the intensity of histamine H3 receptor was lower than that in the UL at 1 day and 3 days(4.25 ± 0.71, 3.50 ± 0.92 vs 5.75 ± 0.71, 5.50 ± 0.93, P < 0.05). However, the changes turned into the normal values at 3 and 7 days (P > 0.05).
The early stage of the vestibular compensation process may be associated with the change of H3 receptor expression in MVN. In the UL+BET group the histamine H3 receptor recovered quickly.
观察倍他司汀对单侧迷路切除(UL)术后前庭内侧核(MVN)中组胺H3受体表达的影响。
56只健康豚鼠随机分为三组:假手术组(I组)、UL组(II组)和UL+倍他司汀(BET)组(III组),BET按2.17 mg×kg⁻¹×d⁻¹腹腔注射,共7天。在UL术后1天、3天和7天,采用免疫组化法分析组胺H3受体的表达。
H3受体在前庭内侧核表达,UL术后1天和3天,同侧前庭内侧核组胺H3受体表达显著增加(P<0.05),7天时恢复至正常水平(P>0.05)。在UL+BET组,1天和3天时组胺H3受体表达强度低于UL组(4.25±0.71,3.50±0.92比5.75±0.71,5.50±0.93,P<0.05)。然而,3天和7天时变化恢复至正常水平(P>0.05)。
前庭代偿过程的早期阶段可能与前庭内侧核中H3受体表达的变化有关。在UL+BET组,组胺H3受体恢复较快。
