    AbstractSevere burns develop a catecholamine surge, inducing severe damage to the organism, raising the possibility of multisystem organ failure, and even death. The mechanisms of catecholamine surge have not been fully elucidated, and few strategies are generally acceptable to reduce catecholamine surge postburn. Thus, it is valuable to investigate the underlying mechanisms of catecholamine surge postburn to develop targeted interventions to attenuate it. We have found that the lytic cocktail alleviates the surge of catecholamine and organ injury after severe burn; however, the underlying mechanisms were still unclear. Moreover, the lytic cocktail has side effects, such as significant arterial hypotension and breathing depression, limiting its clinical application. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic mechanism of the lytic cocktail in regulating catecholamine levels postburn. We find that promethazine, a classic histamine H1 receptor blocker and a component of the lytic cocktail, can effectively reduce catecholamine surge and organ injury postburn. Our study confirms that blood histamine levels increase after severe burns. We find that histamine can amplify the catecholamine surge by elevating tyrosine hydroxylase expression and catecholamine synthesis in chromaffin cells through the histamine H1 receptor/Protein Kinase A /cAMP-response element binding protein signaling pathway. In summary, for the first time, we find that histamine plays a vital role in catecholamine surge postburn. We also confirm that the lytic cocktail effectively alleviates catecholamine surge and organ injury postburn through promethazine.Copyright © 2022 by the Shock Society.
