S 38093, a histamine H₃ antagonist/inverse agonist, promotes hippocampal neurogenesis and improves context discrimination task in aged mice.

ABSTRACT: Strategies designed to increase adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) may have therapeutic potential for reversing memory impairments. H₃ receptor antagonists/inverse agonists also may be useful for treating cognitive deficits. However, it remains unclear whether these ligands have effects on AHN. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of a 28-day treatment with S 38093, a novel brain-penetrant antagonist/inverse agonist of H₃ receptors, on AHN (proliferation, maturation and survival) in 3-month-old and in aged 16-month-old mice. In addition, the effects of S 38093 treatment on 7-month-old APPSWE Tg2576 transgenic mice, a model of Alzheimer's disease, were also assessed. In all tested models, chronic treatment with S 38093 stimulated all steps of AHN. In aged animals, S 38093 induced a reversal of age-dependent effects on hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) BDNF-IX, BDNF-IV and BDNF-I transcripts and increased vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. Finally, the effects of chronic administration of S 38093 were assessed on a neurogenesis-dependent "context discrimination (CS) test" in aged mice. While ageing altered mouse CS, chronic S 38093 treatment significantly improved CS. Taken together, these results provide evidence that chronic S 38093 treatment increases adult hippocampal neurogenesis and may provide an innovative strategy to improve age-associated cognitive deficits.

Project description:Hemorrhagic shock has a potential to be life-threatening when it is not treated. The main causes of hemorrhagic shock involve: (1) forces causing injury; and (2) diseases that can cause hemorrhage., Therefore, due to the causes of hemorrhagic shock and the life-threatening potential, the search for new methods of shock treatment is extremely valuable to the modern medicine. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of clobenpropit in the model of hemorrhagic shock. The experiments were conducted in 110 adult male Wistar rats weighing between 205 and 470g. 1, 2 and 5 ?mol/kg of intravenous H3 receptors reverse agonists, clobentropit, and/or 1, 5 and 10 ?mol/kg H3 receptor agonist, imetit, were used as general anesthetics. Irreversible hemorrhagic shock was induced by the paused bleeding until the mean arterial pressure (MAP) lowered to the level of 20-25 mmHg. It was proved that, in cases of critical hypotension, clobenpropit triggered a dose-dependent increase of: systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), MPA and heart rate (HR) of rats with critical hypotension. The most significant changes in hemodynamic parameters were achieved by administrating dosages of 2 mmol/kg. This resulted in the survival rate increase to up to 100%. However, imetit did not trigger any hemodynamic changes nor an increase in SBP, DBP, MAP or HR. Furthermore, it was found that the premedication with prazosin, yohimbine, 6-hydroxydopamine and the vasopressin V1a receptor antagonist blocked the effects of clobenpropit. Additionally, premedication with propranolol, captopril and ZD 7155 did not cause any significant changes in the measured hemodynamic parameters. In conclusion, after an intravenous injection clobenpropit, the inverse agonist of H3 histamine receptors/agonist of histamine receptors H4, causes a resuscitating effect on rats in hemorrhagic shock. Moreover, such effect is based on the effector mechanisms of sympathetic nervous system and vasopressin.

Project description:Background and purposeAdenosine may be generated by hydrolysis of extracellular nucleotides by ectonucleotidases, including ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 1 (CD39), ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73), nucleotide pyrophosphatase phosphodiesterase 1 (NPP-1) and tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). Previous work from our laboratory has uncovered a critical role for adenosine A1 receptors (A1 R) in osteoclastogenesis; blockade or deletion of these receptors diminishes osteoclast differentiation. Interestingly, selective A1 R agonists neither affect basal osteoclastogenesis nor do they reverse A1 R antagonist-mediated inhibition of osteoclastogenesis. In this study, we determined whether ectonucleotidase-mediated adenosine production was required for A1 R antagonist-mediated inhibition, and, when we saw no effect, determined whether A1 R was constitutively activated and the antagonist was acting as an inverse agonist to diminish osteoclast differentiation.Experimental approachOsteoclast formation derived from wild-type, CD39 knockout (KO), CD73 KO, NPP-1 KO and TNAP KO mice was examined by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand-macrophage colony-stimulating factor-stimulated osteoclasts and osteoclast gene expression (Ctsk, Acp5, MMP-9 and NFATc1). Intracellular cAMP concentration was determined by elisa.Key resultsRolofylline inhibited osteoclast formation in a dose-dependent manner (IC50 = 20-70 nM) in mice lacking all four of these phosphatases, although baseline osteoclast formation was significantly less in precursors from CD73 KO mice. Rolofylline (1 μM) stimulates cAMP production in bone marrow macrophages by 10.23 ± 0.89-fold.Conclusions and implicationsBased on these findings, we hypothesize that the A1 R is constitutively activated in osteoclast precursors, thereby diminishing basal AC activity, and that A1 R antagonists act as inverse agonists to release A1 R-mediated inhibition of basal AC activity and permit osteoclast differentiation. The constitutive activity of A1 R promotes osteoclast formation and down-regulation of this activity blocks osteoclast formation.
