1. Histaminergic depression of excitatory synaptic transmission in the rat dentate gyrus was investigated using extracellular and whole-cell patch-clamp recording techniques in vitro.2. Application of histamine (10 mu M, 5 min) depressed synaptic transmission in the dentate gyrus for 1 h. This depression was blocked by the selective antagonist of histamine H-3 receptors, thioperamide (10 mu M).3.The magnitude of the depression caused by histamine was inversely related to the extracellular Ca2+ concentration. Application of the N-type calcium channel blocker omega-conotoxin (0.5 or 1 mu M) or the P/Q-type calcium channel blocker omega-agatoxin (800 nM) did not prevent depression of synaptic transmission by histamine.4. The potassium channel blocker 4-aminopyridine (4-AP, 100 mu M) enhanced synaptic transmission and reduced the depressant effect of histamine (10 mu M). 4-AP reduced the effect of histamine more in 2 mM extracellular calcium than in 4 mM extracellular calcium.5. Histamine (10 mu M) did not affect the amplitude of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs) and had only a small effect on their frequency.6. Histaminergic depression was not blocked by an inhibitor of serine/threonine protein kinases, H7 (100 mu M), or by an inhibitor of tyrosine kinases, Lavendust in A (10 mu M).7. Application of adenosine (20 mu M) or the adenosine A(1) agonist N-6-cyclopentyladenosine (CPA, 0.3 mu M) completely occluded the effect of histamine (10 mu M).We conclude that histamine, acting on histamine H-3 receptors, inhibits glutamate release by inhibiting presynaptic calcium entry via a direct G-protein-mediated inhibition of multiple calcium channels. Histamine H-3 receptors and adenosine A(1) receptors act upon a common final effector to cause presynaptic inhibition.
