Stimulation of protein kinase B and p70 S6 kinase by the histamine H1 receptor in DDT1MF-2 smooth muscle cells.

Abstract：

:1. Previous studies have shown that the histamine H(1) receptor activates p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) in DDT(1)MF-2 smooth muscle cells via a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3K)-dependent pathway. In this study the effect of histamine H(1) receptor stimulation on protein kinase B (PKB) and p70 S6 kinase, both of which are downstream targets of PI-3K, has been investigated. Increases in PKB and p70 S6 kinase activation were monitored by Western blotting using phospho-specific PKB (Ser(473)) and p70 S6 kinase (Thr(421)/Ser(424)) antibodies. 2. Histamine stimulated time and concentration-dependent increases in the phosphorylation of PKB and p70 S6 kinase in DDT(1)MF-2 cells. Both responses were completely inhibited by the histamine H(1) receptor antagonist mepyramine and following pre-treatment with pertussis toxin, to block G(i)/G(o) protein dependent pathways. 3. The PI-3K inhibitors wortmannin (IC(50) 5.9+/-0.5 nM) and LY 294002 (IC(50) 6.9+/-0.8 microM) attenuated the increase in PKB phosphorylation induced by histamine (100 microM) in a concentration-dependent manner. 4. Histamine-induced increases in p70 S6 kinase phosphorylation were partially sensitive to rapamycin (20 nM; 68% inhibition) but completely blocked by wortmannin (100 nM), LY 294002 (30 microM) and the MAPK kinase inhibitor PD 98059 (50 microM). 5. In summary, these data demonstrate that the histamine H(1) receptor stimulates PKB and p70 S6 kinase phosphorylation in DDT(1)MF-2 smooth muscle cells. However, functional studies revealed that histamine does not stimulate DDT(1)MF-2 cell proliferation or attenuate staurosporine-induced caspase-3 activity. The challenge for future research will be to link the stimulation of these kinase pathways with the physiological and pathophysiological roles of the histamine H(1) receptor.
