Abstract
- We have previously demonstrated the increase of histidine decarboxylase activity and histamine content in the murine hypothalamus after intracerebroventricular injection of lipopolysaccharide possibly due to inducible interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta). Therefore, we investigated the effects of IL-1 beta on brain histamine dynamics by directly injecting it into the tuberomammillary nucleus of the rat hypothalamus (TM) using an in vivo microdialysis method. Injection of artificial cerebrospinal fluid or recombinant murine IL-1 beta at 0.1 ng into the TM did not evoke a significant change in core temperature, however, a significant monophasic febrile response was observed following injection of IL-beta at more than 1 ng per animal. Histamine release in the anterior hypothalamic area in vivo was significantly augmented from 140 min to 360 min following injection of IL-1 beta at 10 ng dose. These results suggest the possibility that interrelationship between histamine and IL-1 beta may modulate the acute phase reaction in the central nervous system.
