3 Vestibular syndrome Perceptivo-cognitive symptoms Spatial disorientation Vertigo 6 3 CVPI Oculomotor symptoms Nystagmus Cyclotorsion Impaired vestibulo-ocular reflex Thalamus Vegetative symptoms Nausea Vomiting Anxiety Vestibular nuclei projections: o Nucleus of the solitary tract o Area postrema o Dorsal nucleus of the vagus o Parabrachial nucleus VN III IV VN Oculomotor nuclei Brainstem Vestibular nerve (VIII) Posturo-locomotor symptoms Ataxia, falls Impaired vestibulo-spinal reflex Increased support surface Spinal cord Unilateral vestibular damage Vestibular receptors (inner ear) From Dutheil et al. 2011

4 Vestibular syndrome Over time, the expression of these vestibular symptoms progressively decreases Vestibular compensation Very good model of adaptive plasticity of the central nervous system but also of vestibular pathology

9 Key role of histaminergic system in vestibular function and recovery The TM nuclei send direct projections to the VN complex The presence of mast cells in the subepithelial connective tissue of the human endolymphatic sac The peripheral, the central vestibular system and the endolymphatic sac contain all types of Histamine receptors H 1, H 2, H 3 and H 4 Vestibular stimulations (rotatory, caloric or galvanic) enhance Histamine release in the hypothalamus and brainstem Histamine induces depolarization of vestibular neurons via H 1 and H 2 receptors

11 Histamine transport and metabolism in neurons Haas and Panula, Nature reviews neuroscience; 2003

12 Histamine receptors Presence of H 1, H 2, H 3 and H 4 receptors in both the central and peripheral vestibular system From Lin,1993

13 Effects of H3 receptor antagonists in vestibular pathology model Behavioural data VN Unilateral vestibular neurectomy (UVN) Oral treatment with Betahistine 50mg/kg (H3R antagonist and partial H1R agonist) or Thioperamide 3,5 mg/kg i.p (pure H3 antagonist) 0 30 Time (days) Pre-operative time Post-operative time Nystagmus Static balance Dynamic balance Immunohistochemistry Histamine antibody (Histaminergic neurons in the TM, HA fibers in the Vestibular nuclei)

14 Effects of H3 receptor antagonists in vestibular pathology model Behavioural data Administration of betahistine and thioperamide after unilateral vestibular neurectomy accelerates the recovery of vestibular functions (posture, dynamic balance and gaze stabilisation) Weak but significant differences were found between betahistine and thioperamide Tighilet et al., 1995; 2007

15 H3 receptor antagonists interaction with the histaminergic system Immunohistochemical data Quantification of histamine immunoreactivity in Hypothalamus TM Vestibular nuclei VN the TM and VN after H3R antagonist treatment Thioperamide 30 µm 300 µm Betahistine and thioperamide treatment significantly reduce histamine immunoreactivity in the vestibular and the TM nuclei probably due to increase in histamine turnover (depletion). Tighilet and Lacour, Eur J Pharmacol, 1997

16 Betahistine interaction with the histaminergic system Molecular data VN Unilateral vestibular neurectomy (UVN) Pre-operative time 0 Oral treatment with Betahistine (50 mg/kg) Post-operative time 1 3 Time (weeks) In situ hybridization and Autoradiography Quantification of the mrna coding for histidine decarboxylase in the TM nuclei Quantification of the H3R binding sites in the TMN and the VN using an H3R agonist Namethyl histamine

17 Betahistine interaction with the histaminergic system Molecular data Nα methylhistamine to H3 receptors HDC m RNA in the TM nuclei TMN VN Betahistine up-regulates HDCm RNA in the TM nuclei Betahistine down regulates the binding density of the agonist Nα methylhistamine to H3 receptors in both the TM and the VN nuclei Tighilet et al, Eur J Pharm, 2002; 2005

18 Betahistine interaction with the histaminergic system Molecular data Betahistine treatment up-regulates HDC m RNA in the TM nuclei Betahistine down regulates the binding density of the agonist Nαmethylhistamine to H3 receptors in both the TM and the VN nuclei Taken together the results demonstrate that betahistine increases histamine turnover (synthesis and release) through blockade of the presynaptic H3 histamine receptors

19 Summary of the cascade of events underlying changes in the histaminergic system after unilateral vestibular lesion HA binding to H1 and H2 receptors induces depolarization of deafferented vestibular neurons Key mechanism of functional vestibular recovery VN H1 VN H2 UVN Electrophysiological asymmetry between homologous VN H3 HA binding to H3 receptors leads to their desensitization, internalization and degradation in the deafferented VN Increased histamine release TM TM Increased histamine synthesis

21 Mechanisms of action of betahistine Central Nervous System Increase histamine turnover by blocking the H3R autoreceptor Increase other neurotransmitters turnover by blocking the H3R heteroreceptor Histamine H3R antagonist/inverse agonist Histamine H1R agonist Rebalancing VN activity Brain arousal Synaptic plasticity Long term potentiation Cognitive effects Faster functional recovery Arrang 1985,Tighilet, 2002, Wang and Dutia 1995, Zhang 2013, Li 2017; Brown 2001, Haas and Panula 2003, Brioni 2011, Lin, Haas 2011

23 Mechanisms of action of betahistine Peripheral Labyrinth Histamine H3R antagonist Histamine H1R agonist Reduces vestibular receptor resting firing rate leading to a decrease in the sensory input from the vestibular endorgans Demonstrated in amphibians but not in mammals Anti-vertigo action Bota 1998, 2001; Chavez 2001; Soto 2001

24 Mechanisms of action of betahistine Endolymphatic sac? Localization of H1, H2, H3 and H4 receptors (mouse, rabbit and humans) Homeostasis of the inner ear Reduce increased endolymphatic pressure and hydrops Dagli, 2008; Møller 2016; Takumida 2016
