Abstract: | Summary The present study was undertaken to determine whether the phosphoinositide hydrolysis is responsible for the positive inotropic effect of histamine in guinea-pig left atria. Histamine induced hydrolysis of phosphoinositides and a positive inotropic effect in a concentration-dependent manner. These effects were antagonized by chlorpheniramine (0.1 mol/l) but not by cimetidine (10 mol/l). At a concentration of 1 mol/l histamine produced a dual-component positive inotropic response composed of an initial increasing phase and a second and late developing, greater positive inotropic phase. Histamine (10 mol/l) caused a gradual increase in the formation of 3H]inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and a significant increase in the 3H]IP3 level was detected 10 min after the stimulation. Thus, the increase in IP3 did not precede the increase in force of contraction. The phospholipase C inhibitors 2-nitro-4-carboxyphenyl-N,N-diphenylcarbamate (100 mol/l) and neomycin (100 mol/l) significantly reduced the histamine-induced 3H]inositol monophosphate accumulation. However, pretreatment with the phospholipase C inhibitors did not affect the positive inotropic effect of histamine, either in its extent or in its pattern. The phorbol esters 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) (100 nmol/l) and phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) (100 nmol/l) also significantly inhibited the phosphoinositide hydrolysis induced by histamine. The inhibitory effect of the phorbol esters on the phosphoinositide response was completely abolished in the presence of 10 mol/l 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7), a protein kinase C inhibitor. TPA significantly attenuated the positive inotropic effect of histamine without changing the dual-component pattern, whereas PDBu merged two distinct components of the histamine inotropic response into one and potentiated the early part of the positive inotropic effect. However, neither of the changes which the phorbol esters produced in the positive inotropic response to histamine was blocked by H-7. In addition, H-7 itself failed to modify the positive inotropic effect of histamine. These results indicate that histamine induces hydrolysis of phosphoinositides in guinea-pig left atria that is mediated by H1-receptors, but this biochemical event does not appear to contribute to the H1-receptor-mediated positive inotropic action.
