Summary.
Cationic amino acids are the precursors of biogenic amines, histamine from histidine, and putrescine, spermidine and spermine from arginine/ornithine (and methionine), as well as nitric oxide. These amines play important biological roles in inter- and intracellular signaling mechanisms related to inflammation, cell proliferation and neurotransmission. Biochemical and epidemiological relationships between arginine-derived products and histamine have been reported to play important roles in physiopathological problems. In this communication, we describe the construction of an expression macroarray containing more than 30 human probes for most of the key proteins involved in biogenic amines metabolisms, as well as other inflammation- and proliferation-related probes. The array has been validated on human mast HMC-1 cells. On this model, we have got further support for an inverse correlation between polyamine and histamine synthesis previously observed on murine basophilic models. These tools should also be helpful to understand the amine roles in many other inflammatory and neoplastic pathologies.
