The enzyme L-histidine decarboxylase (HDC; EC 4.1.1.22), which converts L-histidine to histamine, plays a key role in the regulation of acid secretion. In the rat and human stomach, the peptide hormone gastrin appears to be one of the main regulators of HDC expression. In rats, marked elevation of gastric HDC mRNA abundance was observed within 12 h after induction of hypergastrinemia by a single injection of the proton-pump blocker omeprazole. In situ hybridization revealed that HDC expression occurred in the basal third of gastric glands where enterochromaffin-like cells are localized. To study the regulation of HDC gene transcription, 1,291 nucleotides of the 5'-flanking region of the rat HDC gene and the noncoding portion of exon 1 were cloned and sequenced. Gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK) octapeptide equipotently stimulated the transcriptional activity of the rat HDC promoter three- to fourfold, and deletion analysis revealed the presence of a gastrin response element within 201 nucleotides upstream of the translational start site. Time-course studies revealed maximal activation of the HDC promoter after 12-36 h. Direct stimulation of protein kinase C (PKC) with the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) substantially elevated rat HDC promoter activity, whereas induction of Ca2+ -dependent signaling pathways with thapsigargin was without effect. Downregulation or blockade of PKC abolished the effects of gastrin and PMA on the HDC promoter. These data indicate that stimulation of the CCK-B/gastrin receptor activates the rat HDC promoter in a time- and dose-dependent fashion and that this effect is primarily mediated via a PKC-dependent signaling pathway. Use of HDC as a model gene will allow further investigation of the intracellular pathways that are involved in gastrin-dependent gene regulation.
