The H4R (histamine H4 receptor) is the latest identified member of the histamine receptor subfamily of GPCRs (G-protein-coupled receptors) with potential functional implications in inflammatory diseases and cancer. The H4R is primarily expressed in eosinophils and mast cells and has the highest homology with the H3R. The occurrence of at least twenty different hH3R (human H3R) isoforms led us to investigate the possible existence of H4R splice variants. In the present paper, we report on the cloning of the first two alternatively spliced H4R isoforms from CD34+ cord blood-cell-derived eosinophils and mast cells. These H4R splice variants are localized predominantly intracellularly when expressed recombinantly in mammalian cells. We failed to detect any ligand binding, H4R–ligand induced signalling or constitutive activity for these H4R splice variants. However, when co-expressed with full-length H4R [H4R(390) (H4R isoform of 390 amino acids)], the H4R splice variants have a dominant negative effect on the surface expression of H4R(390). We detected H4R(390)–H4R splice varianthetero-oligomers by employing both biochemical (immunoprecipitation and cell-surface labelling) and biophysical [time-resolved FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer)] techniques. mRNAs encoding the H4R splice variants were detected in various cell types and expressed at similar levels to the full-length H4R(390) mRNA in, for example, pre-monocytes. We conclude that the H4R splice variants described here have a dominant negative effect on H4R(390) functionality, as they are able to retain H4R(390) intracellularly and inactivate a population of H4R(390), presumably via hetero-oligomerization.

Histamine H4 receptor has been confirmed to play a role in evoking peripheral pruritus. However, the ionic and intracellular signaling mechanism of activation of H4 receptor on the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons is still unknown. By using cell culture and calcium imaging, we studied the underlying mechanism of activation of H4 receptor on the DRG neuron. Immepip dihydrobromide (immepip)—a histamine H4 receptor special agonist under cutaneous injection—obviously induced itch behavior of mice. Immepip-induced scratching behavior could be blocked by TRPV1 antagonist AMG9810 and PLC pathway inhibitor U73122. Application of immepip (8.3–50 μM) could also induce a dose-dependent increase in intracellular Ca2+(Ca2+i) of DRG neurons. We found that 77.8% of the immepip-sensitized DRG neurons respond to the TRPV1 selective agonist capsaicin. U73122 could inhibit immepip-induced Ca2+responses. In addition, immepip-inducedCa2+iincrease could be blocked by ruthenium red, capsazepine, and AMG9810; however it could not be blocked by TRPA1 antagonist HC-030031. These results indicate that TRPV1 but not TRPA1 is the important ion channel to induce the DRG neurons’ responses in the downstream signaling pathway of histamine H4 receptor and suggest that TRPV1 may be involved in the mechanism of histamine-induced itch response by H4 receptor activation.
