Histamine binds to one of the four G-protein-coupled receptors expressed by large cholangiocytes and increases large cholangiocyte proliferation via histamine-2 receptor (H2HR), which is increased in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Ranitidine decreases liver damage in Mdr2 (ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 4 null) mice. We targeted hepatic H2HR in Mdr2 mice using vivo-morpholino. Wild-type and Mdr2 mice were treated with mismatch or H2HR vivo-morpholino by tail vein injection for 1 week. Liver damage, mast cell (MC) activation, biliary H2HR, and histamine serum levels were studied. MC markers were determined by quantitative real-time PCR for chymase and c-kit. Intrahepatic biliary mass was detected by cytokeratin-19 and F4/80 to evaluate inflammation. Biliary senescence was determined by immunofluorescence and senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining. Hepatic fibrosis was evaluated by staining for desmin, Sirius Red/Fast Green, and vimentin. Immunofluorescence for transforming growth factor-β, vascular endothelial growth factor-A/C, and cAMP/ERK expression was performed. Transforming growth factor-β and vascular endothelial growth factor-A secretion was measured in serum and/or cholangiocyte supernatant. Treatment with H2HR vivo-morpholino in Mdr2-mice decreased hepatic damage; H2HR protein expression and MC presence or activation; large intrahepatic bile duct mass, inflammation and senescence; and fibrosis, angiogenesis, and cAMP/phospho-ERK expression. Inhibition of H2HR signaling ameliorates large ductal PSC-induced damage. The H2HR axis may be targeted in treating PSC.
组织胺与大胆管细胞表达的四种 G 蛋白偶联受体之一结合,并通过组胺-2 受体(H2HR)增加大胆管细胞增殖,而原发性硬化性胆管炎(PSC)患者的 H2HR 增加。雷尼替丁可减少 Mdr2(ATP 结合盒亚家族 B 成员 4 缺失)小鼠的肝损伤。我们使用 vivo-morpholino 靶向 Mdr2 小鼠的肝 H2HR。野生型和 Mdr2 小鼠通过尾静脉注射接受错配或 H2HR vivo-morpholino 治疗 1 周。研究了肝损伤、肥大细胞(MC)活化、胆管 H2HR 和组织胺血清水平。通过定量实时 PCR 测定糜酶和 c-kit 确定 MC 标志物。通过细胞角蛋白-19 和 F4/80 检测肝内胆管质量以评估炎症。通过免疫荧光和衰老相关 β-半乳糖苷酶染色检测胆管衰老。通过染色检测肝纤维化desmin、Sirius Red/Fast Green 和波形蛋白。进行转化生长因子-β、血管内皮生长因子-A/C 和 cAMP/ERK 表达的免疫荧光。测量血清和/或胆管细胞上清液中的转化生长因子-β和血管内皮生长因子-A 分泌。在 Mdr2 小鼠中用 H2HR vivo-morpholino 治疗可减轻肝损伤;H2HR 蛋白表达和 MC 存在或活化;大肝内胆管质量、炎症和衰老;纤维化、血管生成和 cAMP/磷酸化-ERK 表达。抑制 H2HR 信号转导可改善大胆管 PSC 诱导的损伤。H2HR 轴可能成为治疗 PSC 的靶点。
