Histamine neurons are widely distributed in the brain and suppress food
intake through the histamine H1 receptor (H1-R) in the
hypothalamus. To examine the role of neuronal histamine in leptin signaling
pathways, we investigated the effects of H1-R knockout (H1KO) mice
on both food intake and mRNA expressions of uncoupling proteins
(UCPs) as regulated by leptin, and concomitantly on basal changes in
both expression of hypothalamic neuropeptides and diet-induced fat deposition
in adipose tissues. H1KO mice showed no change in daily food intake, growth
curve, body weight, or adiposity. Reflecting no specificity in these
parameters, H1KO mice induced no basal changes in mRNA expression of
hypothalamic neuropeptides, ob gene, or peripheral UCPs.
Loading H1KO mice with a high-fat diet accelerated fat deposition and
ob gene expression compared with the controls. Leptin-induced feeding
suppression was partially attenuated in H1KO mice, indicating involvement of
histamine neurons in feeding regulation as a downstream signal of leptin.
Upregulation of fat UCP mRNA and reduction of body fat induced by
central infusion of leptin were attenuated in the H1KO mice. These results
show that H1KO mice are a novel leptin-resistant model and that
H1-R is a key receptor for downstream signaling of leptin in the
brain that contributes to regulation of feeding, fat deposition, and
UCP mRNA expression.
