The influence of histamine at various concentrations on the cell cycle state of hematopoietic stem cells (CFU-s) was investigated. CFU-s were triggered from the G0 state into the S phase of the cell cycle by in vitro treatment of mouse bone marrow cells with high concentrations of histamine. This effect could be antagonized by a histamine H2 receptor blocking agent. When bone marrow cells were treated with a histamine H1 receptor antagonist prior to histamine treatment, low concentrations of histamine also triggered the entrance of CFU-s into the DNA synthetic phase. Our findings further suggest the existence of histamine H1 and H2 receptors on the surface of CFU-s cells and the antagonistic effect of these two histamine receptor subtypes on the cell cycle state of CFU-s. Our results also suggest that histamine may participate in regulating the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells in vivo during immune or inflammatory responses.

D001853	Bone Marrow	The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
