| Abstract | It has been demonstrated that histamine plays an important role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Histamine regulates the process of differentiation of trophoblast cells; it also acts as a growth factor in malignant melanoma cells, and prevents monocytic apoptosis. Trophoblast research has shown that in preeclampsia placentas, trophoblast apoptosis is significantly increased.The aim of our study was to demonstrate the influence of histamine on the process of apoptosis in human trophoblast cell cultures.Placentas were obtained after vaginal delivery. Tissue samples were excised from placentas and, with the use of modified Kliman’s method, trophoblast cell cultures were established. The cultures were incubated with dexamethasone as an apoptosis inducer 48 hours prior to apoptosis detection assays. Along with dexamethasone, selected cell cultures were incubated with histamine (1 μmol/l) or histamine (1 μmol/l) and terfenadine (from 1 to 5 μmol/l), a H1 receptor antagonist. For apoptotic activity detection, and quantitative analysis, we used an ELISA assay. M30‐Apoptosense ELISA Kit is based on the M30 monoclonal antibody that binds only the caspase‐cleaved cytokeratin 18 formed during apoptosis in trophoblast cells.Our investigation showed significantly (p < 0.05) increased apoptotic activity in cultures incubated with dexamethasone, histamine and terfenadine (% of reference value, ±SEM): up to 113.1 ± 4.33%. Cell cultures incubated with dexamethasone and histamine only showed significantly lower apoptotic activity 90.2 ± 5.17%. We suggest that histamine may inhibit apoptotic activity in trophoblast cell cultures via H1 receptor. Thus histamine may regulate the process of trophoblast differentiation (via integrin aV‐b3 expression, as we previously suggested), and influence cell turnover in the placenta. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
