title: Mechanism of histamine-induced calcium efflux from cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells: possible involvement of an Na+/Ca2+ exchange mechanism.
abstract: The effect of stimulation of the histamine receptor on Ca2+ mobilization in cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells was examined. Histamine (10(-5) M) increased the intracellular free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) to a peak in the presence or absence of extracellular Ca2+, followed by decrease with time. Histamine (10(-8)-10(-5) M) also stimulated 45Ca2+ efflux from cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells in a concentration dependent manner. Its stimulatory effect on 45Ca2+ efflux was inhibited by the specific histamine H1 receptor antagonist mepyramine. The increase in histamine-stimulated 45Ca2+ efflux was inhibited by deprivation of extracellular Na+ and by the Na+/Ca2+ exchange inhibitor amiloride. In addition, histamine stimulated 22Na+ influx into the cells, and this action was inhibited by amiloride. These results suggest that stimulation of the histamine H1 receptor regulates Na+/Ca2+ exchange in cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells.
