Histamine upregulates the expression of histamine receptors and increases the neuroprotective effect of astrocytes.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAstrocytes have attracted increasing attention over recent decades for their role in neuroinflammation. Histamine, a major aminergic brain neurotransmitter, has an important influence on the main activities of astrocytes, such as ion homeostasis, energy metabolism, and neurotransmitter clearance. However, little is known about the impact of histamine on astrocyte immunomodulatory function.
methodsThe expression of all known histamine receptor subtypes was examined in primary astrocytes. Then, primary astrocytes were pretreated with selective histamine receptor antagonists and stimulated with histamine. Cellular activation, proinflammatory cytokine production, and expression of neurotrophic factors were assessed.
resultsAstrocytes could constitutively express three histamine receptors (H1R, H2R, and H3R), and these three histamine receptors could be selectively upregulated to varying degrees upon histamine treatment. Histamine also dose-dependently stimulated astrocyte activation and subsequent production of glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), whereas it suppressed the secretion of the proinflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). The effects of histamine were completely abolished by either an H1R or H3R antagonist, while an H2R antagonist attenuated the effects partly.
conclusionsThe present study identified the expression of H1R, H2R, and H3R on astrocytes. We also demonstrated that negative regulation of astrocytic TNF-α and IL-1β production and the enhancement of astrocytic GDNF stimulated by histamine were receptor-mediated processes in which all three of the expressed histamine receptors (H1R, H2R, and H3R) were involved. These findings may further clarify the involvement and mechanism of astrocyte activation in neuroinflammation.
