Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We have investigated the effect of IL-1β on histamine H-receptor (HR)-mediated inositol phosphate (IP) accumulation in human airway smooth muscle cells (HASMC) and on histamine-induced contraction of human bronchial rings. Stimulation of HASMC for 24 h with IL-1β resulted in significant loss of histamine-induced IP formation, which was associated with a reduction of histamine-induced contraction of IL-1β-treated human bronchial rings. An inhibitor of NF-κB activation, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate, and a p38 MAPK inhibitor, blocked the IL-1β-induced HR desensitization, whereas anisomycin, an SAPK/JNK and p38 MAPK activator, mimicked the effect of IL-1β. IL-1β has been demonstrated to induce cox-2 expression and PGE synthesis. In our study, indomethacin a cox antagonist, completely inhibited the effect of IL-1β on HR, whereas exogenously added PGE was able to desensitize HR. Furthermore, H-89, a selective PKA inhibitor, antagonized the effect of IL-1β. Here, we have demonstrated that IL-1β desensitizes HR, which involves the activation of p38 MAPK and NF-κB, leading to the expression of cox-2 and the synthesis of PGE. PGE increases intracellular cAMP resulting in PKA activation, which phosphorylates and functionally uncouples HR. Our results suggest that IL-1β protects airway smooth muscle against histamine-induced contractile responses and that bronchial hyperreactivity to histamine is not associated with proinflammatory cytokine-induced enhancement in HR signaling.
