1 This study was carried out to assess how dexmedetomidine modulates histamine-induced Ca(2+) signaling and regulates the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine genes encoding interleukin (IL)-6 and -8. Histamine interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
2 Histamine stimulated IL-6 mRNA expression not IL-8 mRNA within 2 hrs, however this effect was attenuated by dexmedetomidine. Histamine interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
3 Collectively, these findings suggest that dexmedetomidine modulates histamine-induced Ca(2+) signaling and IL-6 expression and will be useful for understanding the antagonistic properties of dexmedetomidine on histamine-induced signaling beyond its sedative effect. Histamine interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
