Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide: Calcitonin gene-related peptide. A 37-amino acid peptide derived from the calcitonin gene. It occurs as a result of alternative processing of mRNA from the calcitonin gene. The neuropeptide is widely distributed in neural tissue of the brain, gut, perivascular nerves, and other tissue. The peptide produces multiple biological effects and has both circulatory and neurotransmitter modes of action. In particular, it is a potent endogenous vasodilator.Calcitonin: A peptide hormone that lowers calcium concentration in the blood. In humans, it is released by thyroid cells and acts to decrease the formation and absorptive activity of osteoclasts. Its role in regulating plasma calcium is much greater in children and in certain diseases than in normal adults.Bethanechol CompoundsBethanechol: A slowly hydrolyzing muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Bethanechol is generally used to increase smooth muscle tone, as in the GI tract following abdominal surgery or in urinary retention in the absence of obstruction. It may cause hypotension, HEART RATE changes, and BRONCHIAL SPASM.Substance P: An eleven-amino acid neurotransmitter that appears in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. It is involved in transmission of PAIN, causes rapid contractions of the gastrointestinal smooth muscle, and modulates inflammatory and immune responses.Neuropeptide Y: A 36-amino acid peptide present in many organs and in many sympathetic noradrenergic neurons. It has vasoconstrictor and natriuretic activity and regulates local blood flow, glandular secretion, and smooth muscle activity. The peptide also stimulates feeding and drinking behavior and influences secretion of pituitary hormones.Neuropeptides: Peptides released by NEURONS as intercellular messengers. Many neuropeptides are also hormones released by non-neuronal cells.Capsaicin: An alkylamide found in CAPSICUM that acts at TRPV CATION CHANNELS.Nerve Fibers: Slender processes of NEURONS, including the AXONS and their glial envelopes (MYELIN SHEATH).

Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.Calcitonin Receptor-Like Protein: A receptor protein that is associated with RECEPTOR ACTIVITY-MODIFYING PROTEINS. When bound to RECEPTOR ACTIVITY-MODIFYING PROTEIN 1 it forms the CALCITONIN GENE-RELATED RECEPTOR. When bound to RECEPTOR ACTIVITY-MODIFYING PROTEIN 2 or RECEPTOR ACTIVITY-MODIFYING PROTEIN 3 it forms the ADRENOMEDULLIN RECEPTOR.FMRFamide: A molluscan neuroactive peptide which induces a fast excitatory depolarizing response due to direct activation of amiloride-sensitive SODIUM CHANNELS.

It does not circulate in appreciable amounts in normal subjects, but rather exerts its biological actions locally. Overexpression of parathyroid hormone-related protein by tumor cells results in humoral calcemia of malignancy.Peptide PHI: A 27-amino acid peptide with histidine at the N-terminal and isoleucine amide at the C-terminal. The exact amino acid composition of the peptide is species dependent.

Calcitonin gene-related peptide decreases expression of acetylcholinesterase in mammalian myotubes. (1/1567)

Nerve-derived trophic factors are known to modulate expression of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in skeletal muscle fibers, yet the precise identity of these factors remains elusive. In the present study, we treated mouse C2 myotubes with calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Compared to non-treated myotubes, cell-associated AChE activity levels were decreased by approximately 60% after 48 h of treatment. A parallel reduction in AChE total protein levels was also observed as determined by Western blot analysis. The reduction in AChE activity was due to a decrease in the levels of the G1 molecular form and to an elimination of G1. By contrast, levels of secreted AChE remained unchanged following CGRP treatment. Finally, the overall decrease in AChE activity was accompanied by a reduction in AChE transcripts which could not be attributed to changes in the transcriptional rate of the ACHE gene.  (+info)

Interaction of amylin with calcitonin gene-related peptide receptors in the microvasculature of the hamster cheek pouch in vivo. (2/1567)

1. This study used intravital microscopy to investigate the receptors stimulated by amylin which shares around 50% sequence homology with the vasodilator calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the hamster cheek pouch microvasculature in vivo. 2. Receptor agonists dilated arterioles (diameters 20-40 microm). The -log of the concentrations (+/- s.e.mean; n = 8) causing 50% increase in arteriole diameter were: human betaCGRP (10.8 +/- 0.3), human alphaCGRP (10.8 +/- 0.4), rat alphaCGRP (10.4 +/- 0.3). Rat amylin and the CGRP2 receptor selective agonist [Cys(ACM2,7]-human alphaCGRP were 100 fold less potent (estimates were 8.5 +/- 0.4 and 8.2 +/- 0.3 respectively). 3. The GCRP1 receptor antagonist, CGRP8-37 (300 nmol kg(-1); i.v.) reversibly inhibited the increase in diameter evoked by human alphaCGRP (0.3 nM) from 178 +/- 22% to 59 +/- 12% (n = 8; P < 0.05) and by rat amylin (100 nM) from 138 +/- 23% to 68 +/- 24% (n = 6; P < 0.05). CGRP8-37 did not inhibit vasodilation evoked by substance P (10 nM; n = 4: P > 0.05). 4. The amylin receptor antagonist, amylin8-37 (300 nmol kg(-1); i.v.) did not significantly inhibit the increase in diameter evoked by human alphaCGRP (0.3 nM) which was 112 +/- 26% in the absence, and 90 +/- 29% in the presence of antagonist (n = 4; P < 0.05); nor that evoked by rat amylin (100 nM) which was 146 +/- 23% in the absence and 144 +/- 32% in the presence of antagonist (n = 4; P > 0.05). 5. The agonist profile for vasodilatation and the inhibition of this dilatation by CGRP8-37, although not the amylin8-37 indicates that amylin causes vasodilatation through interaction with CGRP1 receptors in the hamster cheek pouch.  (+info)

Neurogenic origin of articular hyperemia in early degenerative joint disease. (3/1567)

It has been speculated that joint instability resulting from anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture could be exacerbated by changes in vasomotor activity in the remaining supporting structures. In this study, the effect of ACL transection on medial collateral ligament (MCL) basal perfusion and its responsiveness to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and sympathetic adrenergic influences was examined. Using urethan-anesthetized rabbits, we tested the effects of CGRP and its antagonist CGRP-(8-37) by topical application of these agents to the exposed knee while sympathetic influences were tested by electrically stimulating the saphenous nerve. It was found that MCL basal perfusion was elevated in ACL-sectioned joints; however, this effect was abrogated by prior resection of the articular nerve supply. At the doses tested, the normal vasodilator response to CGRP was abolished in ACL-sectioned joints, whereas the response to CGRP-(8-37) was attenuated. Even under the influence of increased constrictor tone, MCL and capsule blood vessels still showed substantially reduced responses to exogenous CGRP administration. By contrast, nerve-mediated constrictor responses were mostly unaffected by joint instability. This study suggests that posttraumatic knee joint hyperemia is neurogenically mediated, possibly by increased secretion of CGRP.  (+info)

Attenuation of myocardial injury due to oxygen free radicals (OFR) by pretreatment with OFR or calcitonin gene-related peptide. (4/1567)

AIM: To study the cardioprotective effects of oxygen free radicals (OFR) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (OGRP) pretreatment on myocardial damages due to OFR in isolated perfused rat heart. METHODS: The hearts were perfused in a Langendorff mode. OFR were generated by electrolysis of Krebs-Henseleit (K-H) solution. RESULTS: OFR pretreatment reduced the impairment of cardiac contractile function, the decrease of coronary flow and the increase of creatinine kinase (CK) release due to OFR, and the effect exhibited period dependence and cycle-dependence. 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7), an inhibitor of protein kinase C, abolished the protection of OFR pretreatment (CK release = 110 +/- 7, 215 +/- 23, 169 +/- 14, 240 +/- 30, and 113 +/- 19 kU.L-1 for control, OFR, OFR pretreatment, OFR pretreatment plus H-7, and H-7, respectively). CGRP pretreatment also protected the myocardium damages elicited by OFR in isolated perfused rat heart. CONCLUSIONS: OFR or CGRP pretreatment protected myocardium against injury elicited by OFR, and the effect of OFR pretreatment was related to the activation of PKC.  (+info)

Trigeminal nerve ganglion stimulation-induced neurovascular reflexes in the anaesthetized cat: role of endothelin(B) receptors in carotid vasodilatation. (5/1567)

1. The effects of intravenous administration of endothelin (ET) receptor antagonists SB-209670 (0.001-10.0 mg kg(-1)), SB-217242, SB-234551 (0.01-10.0 mg kg(-1)) and BQ-788 (0.001-1.0 mg kg(-1)) were investigated on trigeminal nerve ganglion stimulation-induced neurovascular reflexes in the carotid vasculature of the anaesthetized cat. Comparisons were made with sumatriptan (0.003-3.0 mg kg(-1)) and alpha-CGRP8-37 (0.001-0.1 mg kg(-1)). 2. Trigeminal nerve ganglion stimulation produced frequency related increases in carotid blood flow, reductions in carotid vascular resistance and non-frequency related increases in blood pressure. Guanethidine (3 mg kg(-1), i.v.) blocked trigeminal nerve ganglion-induced increases in blood pressure but had no effect on changes in carotid flow or resistance. Maximal reductions in carotid vascular resistance was observed at 10 Hz, and this frequency was selected to investigate the effects of drugs on trigeminal nerve ganglion stimulation-induced responses in guanethidine treated cats. 3. Saline, alpha-CGRP8-37 SB-209670 and BQ-788 had little or no effect on resting haemodynamic parameters. SB-217242 (10 mg kg(-1), n=3) produced a 56% reduction in arterial blood pressure whereas SB-233451 (10 mg kg(-1), n=3) produced a 30% reduction in carotid vascular resistance. Sumatriptan produced dose-related reductions in resting carotid flow and increases (max. 104% at 0.3 mg kg(-1), n = 5) in vascular resistance. 4. SB-209670 (n=6-7), SB-217242 (n=3) and BQ-788 (n=3) produced inhibition of trigeminal nerve ganglion stimulation-induced reductions in carotid vascular resistance. Saline, SB-234551, alpha-CGRP8-37 and sumatriptan had no effect. 5. These data demonstrate ET(B) receptor blockade attenuates the vasodilator effects of trigeminal nerve ganglion stimulation in the carotid vascular bed of guanethidine pretreated anaesthetized cats.  (+info)

Depletion of cutaneous peptidergic innervation in HIV-associated xerosis. (6/1567)

Severe xerosis occurs in approximately 20% of human immunodeficiency virus seropositive patients. Changes in cutaneous innervation have been found in various inflammatory skin diseases and in xerotic skin in familial amyloid. We have therefore carried out a quantitative examination of the cutaneous peptidergic innervation in human immunodeficiency virus-associated xerosis. Immunohistochemistry and image analysis quantitation were used to compare total cutaneous innervation (protein gene product 9.5), calcitonin gene-related peptide, substance P, and vasoactive intestinal peptide peptidergic fibers, at two sites in the skin of human immunodeficiency virus-associated xerosis patients (upper arm, n = 12; upper leg, n = 11) and site-matched seronegative controls (upper arm, n = 10; upper leg, n = 10). Measurement of lengths of fibers of each type was carried out for each subject in the epidermis and papillary dermis, and around the sweat glands. Immunostained mast cells in these areas were counted. Epidermal integrity and maturation were assessed by immunostaining for involucrin. There were significant (Mann-Whitney U test; p < 0.02) decreases in total lengths of protein gene product 9.5 fibers in both epidermis/papillary dermis and sweat gland fields; of calcitonin gene-related peptide innervation in the epidermis/papillary dermis; and of substance P innervation of the sweat glands. There were no differences in the distribution of mast cells, or in the epidermal expression of involucrin. Depletion of the calcitonin gene-related peptide innervation may affect the nutrient blood supply of the upper dermis, and the integrity and function of basal epidermis and Langerhans cells. Diminished substance P innervation of the sweat glands may affect their secretory activity. Both of these changes may be implicated in the development of xerosis.  (+info)

Decreased CGRP, but preserved Trk A immunoreactivity in nerve fibres in inflamed human superficial temporal arteries. (7/1567)

The peptidergic sensory innervation of cranial blood vessels may play an important part in vascular head pain. The neuropeptides calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P in sensory fibres are dependent on nerve growth factor (NGF) produced by the blood vessels, and when released from nerve terminals mediate neurogenic inflammation. NGF is increased in inflamed tissues, and acts via its high affinity receptor trk A on nociceptor fibres to produce hyperalgesia. CGRP and trk A immunoreactive nerve fibres have therefore been studied, for the first time, in inflamed (n=7) and non-inflamed (n=10) temporal arteries biopsied from patients with headache and suspected giant cell arteritis. CGRP immunoreactivity was markedly decreased to absent in adventitial nerve fibres in inflamed regions of vessels, which may reflect secretion from nerve terminals, as CGRP immunoreactivity could still be seen in nerve trunks in periadventitial tissue. Trk A immunoreactive nerve fibres were found in a similar distribution to CGRP containing nerve fibres in non-inflamed vessels, and the trk A immunoreactivity was virtually unchanged in inflamed vessels. The evidence supports a role for NGF related mechanisms in inflammatory vascular head pain. Anti-NGF or anti-trk A agents may represent novel analgesics in this condition.  (+info)

Calcitonin gene-related peptide rapidly downregulates nicotinic receptor function and slowly raises intracellular Ca2+ in rat chromaffin cells in vitro. (8/1567)

Although calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) modulates muscle-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) via intracellular second messenger-mediated phosphorylation, the action of this peptide on neuronal-type nAChRs remains unknown. Using neuronal nAChRs of rat chromaffin cells in vitro we studied the effect of CGRP, which is physiologically present in adrenal medulla, on membrane currents and [Ca2+]i transients elicited by nicotine. Our main novel observation was that CGRP (either bath-applied or focally applied for a few seconds or even co-applied with nicotine for a few milliseconds) selectively and rapidly blocked nAChRs (a phenomenon unlikely caused by intracellular messengers in view of its speed) without affecting GABA receptors. The inhibitory effect of CGRP was independent of [Ca2+]i or membrane potential and not accompanied by baseline current changes. Like the competitive antagonist N,N,N-trimethyl-1-(4-trans-stilbenoxy)-2-propilammonium, CGRP induced a rightward, parallel shift of the nicotine dose-response curve; during co-application of these blockers the nicotine dose-ratio value was the sum of the values obtained with each antagonist alone. The block by CGRP was insensitive to the receptor antagonist hCGRP8-37 but mimicked by CGRP1-7. Persistent application of CGRP slowly increased [Ca2+]i, a phenomenon independent from external Ca2+, thus implying Ca2+ release from internal stores, and suppressed by hCGRP8-37. CGRP1-7 had no significant effect on [Ca2+]i. We propose that the 1-7 amino acid sequence of CGRP was responsible for the direct, rapid block of nAChRs, whereas the full-length peptide molecule was necessary for the delayed rise in internal Ca2+ potentially able to trigger phosphorylation-dependent modulation of nicotinic receptor function.  (+info)

Using a double labeling indirect immunofluorescent technique, we studied the guinea pig trigeminal ganglion and eye for co-localization of substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide. In the trigeminal ganglion, the number of neurons immunoreactive for calcitonin gene-related peptide significantly outnumber those immunoreactive for substance P, but virtually all substance P positive neurons are immunoreactive for calcitonin gene-related peptide. In the eye, a complex pattern of co-localization is present; both peptides co-localize in most immunoreactive nerve fibers. Nerve fibers immunoreactive only for calcitonin gene-related peptide tend to be concentrated in the cornea and posterior ciliary body. Nerve fibers immunoreactive only for substance P are present in relation to both iris muscles. Sensory denervation by intracranial transection of the ophthalmic and maxillary nerves fails to eliminate these substance P positive but CGRP negative iris nerve fibers. These findings indicate an ...

Topical Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Increases Wound Closure in Sec by Darin Thomas Dieckhoff  "Topical Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Increases Wound Closure in Sec" by Darin Thomas Dieckhoff
TOPICAL CALCITONIN GENE-RELATED PEPTIDE INCREASES WOUND CLOSURE IN SECOND DEGREE CUTANEOUS BURNSBiologyMissouri State University, August 2012Master of ScienceDarin Thomas DieckhoffABSTRACTCutaneous thermal wounds result in significant tissue damage with loss of epidermis, nerve fibers, and vascular tissue, which increases healing time. Neuropeptides released by sensory neurons are implicated in the wound healing process. The 37-amino acid neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a multifunctional protein that promotes vasodilation and proliferation of keratinocytes and endothelial cells. Based on the distribution of CGRP and its receptor in adult CD Hairless rats, we hypothesized that topical administration of CGRP to a cutaneous thermal wound would increase the rate of wound closure. Two 1.5 cm partial-thickness thermal wounds were created on the upper dorsal region of hairless rats (n = 6) by exposing tissues to 70o C water for 10 seconds.

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which is expressed by trigeminal nociceptors, has recently been identified as a key player in the mechanism of migraine headaches. Here we show that CGRP is coexpressed with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in a large subset of adult rat trigeminal ganglion neurons in vivo. Using ELISA in situ, we show that CGRP (1-1000 nm) potently enhances BDNF release from cultured trigeminal neurons. The effect of CGRP is dose-dependent and abolished by pretreatment with CGRP receptor antagonist, CGRP(8-37). Intriguingly, CGRP-mediated ...

Regulation of calcitonin gene-related peptide gene expression by a met by Amanda C. Herbster  "Regulation of calcitonin gene-related peptide gene expression by a met" by Amanda C. Herbster
Release of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) from trigeminal sensory nerves is implicated in the underlying pathology of migraine. While the therapeutic benefits of grape seed extract (GSE) to inhibit pathophysiological mechanisms associated with cardiovascular disease are well known, the potential benefit of GSE to decrease neurogenic inflammation has not been investigated. The goal of my study was to determine whether GSE could inhibit CGRP expression in primary cultures of trigeminal ganglion neurons as well as a human cell line, DMS 153 cells. CGRP was significantly increased in primary rat trigeminal ganglia cultures in response to a depolarizing stimulus by KCl or capsaicin. Pretreatment with GSE repressed stimulated release of CGRP from trigeminal ganglion neurons. Similarly, GSE repressed stimulated human CGRP promoter activity and mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) reporter genes in DMS 153 cells. Moreover, overnight treatment with GSE suppressed basal human CGRP promoter activity.

Over the last decades MRI has proved to be very useful in the field of drug development and discovery. Pharmacological MRI (phMRI) explores the interaction between brain physiology, neuronal activity and drugs[1]. The BOLD-signal is an indirect method to investigate brain activity by way of measuring task-related hemodynamic changes. Pharmacological substances that induce hemodynamic changes can therefore potentially alter the BOLD-signal that in turn falsely can be interpreted as changes in neuronal activity. It is therefore important to characterize possible effects of a pharmacological substance on the BOLD-response per see before that substance can be used in an fMRI experiment. Furthermore MR-angiography is useful in determining the vascular site-of-action of vasoactive substances ...

The sensory neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays a role in primary headaches and CGRP receptor antagonists are effective in migraine treatment. CGRP is a potent vasodilator raising the possibility that antagonism of its receptor could have cardiovascular effects. We therefore investigated the effects of the anti-migraine CGRP receptor antagonist telcagepant (MK-0974) on human isolated coronary arteries. Arteries with different internal diameters (ID) were studied to assess the potential for differential effects across the coronary vascular bed. The concentration-dependent relaxation responses to human αCGRP were greater in distal (ID: 600-1000 μm, Emax=83±7%) than proximal coronary arteries (ID: 2-3 mm, Emax=23±9%), coronary arteries from explanted hearts (ID 3-5 mm, Emax=11±3%) and coronary arterioles (ID: 200-300 μm, Emax=15±7%). Telcagepant alone did not induce contraction or relaxation of these coronary blood vessels. Pre-treatment with telcagepant (10 nM to 1 ...

Abstract:The receptor for calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and adrenomedullin (AM) requires an intracellular peripheral membrane protein named CGRP-receptor component protein (RCP) for signaling. RCP is required for CGRP and AM receptor signaling, and it has recently been discovered that RCP enables signaling by binding directly to the receptor. RCP is present in most immortalized cell lines, but in vivo RCP expression is limited to specific subsets of cells, usually co-localizing with CGRP-containing neurons. RCP protein expression correlates with CGRP ...

Migraine is among the most common types of pain, but its mechanisms are poorly understood. A growing body of evidence points to a critical role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the pathophysiology of migraine headache. During migraine, CGRP is thought to be released from peripheral endings of perivascular meningeal nociceptors primary and to promote vasodilatation. A current hypothesis suggests that peripheral CGRP and its related meningeal vasodilatation results in activation and sensitization, leading to the generation of migraine headache. However, direct evidence supporting this idea is lacking. Here, using electrophysiological, extracellular, single-unit recording combined with laser-Doppler flowmetry measurements of dural blood flow (DBF), we examined whether CGRP and meningeal vasodilatation promote activation or sensitization of meningeal nociceptors. Changes in (DBF), ongoing discharge, and responsiveness to mechanical stimulation of the dura were studied after either ...

Understanding of the neuropathology leading to migraine pain has centered on either a vascular or neuronal origin. Sildenafil, a specific inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5), induces migraine-like headache in a human headache model without concomitant artery dilation. The presence and activity of PDE3 and PDE5 is known in cerebral arteries. However, the presence in the neuronal part of the trigeminovascular pathway, i.e. the trigeminal ganglion and the possible co-localization with calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), is not known ...

In cultured chicken myotubes, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a peptide present in spinal cord motoneurons, increased by 1.5-fold the number of surface acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) and by threefold AChR alpha-subunit mRNA level without affecting the level of muscular alpha-actin mRNA. Cholera toxin (CT), an activator of adenylate cyclase, produced a similar effect, which did not add up with that of CGRP. In contrast, tetrodotoxin, a blocker of voltage-sensitive Na+ channels, elevated the level of AChR alpha-subunit mRNA on top of the increase caused by either CGRP or CT. 12-O-Tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), an activator of protein kinase C, markedly decreased the cell surface and total content of [125I]alpha BGT-binding sites and reduced the rate of appearance of AChR at the surface of the myotubes without reducing the level of AChR alpha-subunit mRNA. Moreover, TPA inhibited the increase of AChR alpha-subunit mRNA caused by tetrodotoxin without affecting that produced by CGRP ...

We previously found that capsaicin can dilate third-order arterioles in striated muscle by a mechanism that appears to involve release of endogenous calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Experiments were done to determine 1) whether capsaicin has similar effects on larger arterioles and venules and 2) whether relaxation involves endogenous CGRP and synthesis of endothelium-derived relaxing factor. In male Sprague-Dawley rats anesthetized with pentobarbital (50 mg/kg, i.p.), we examined responses of first- and second-order microvessels in the cremaster muscle using video microscopy. Addition of capsaicin (0.1 microgram/ml) to vessels constricted by norepinephrine (10(-7) M) dilated 1As by 91% +/- 28%, 2As by 113% +/- 18% 1Vs by 11% +/- 6% and 2Vs by 42% +/- 18%.

Calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP), a 37 amino acid neuropeptide, is the most potent vasodilator known. Participation of CGRP in hypertension and related diseases, such as preeclampsia or vasospasm after subarachnoid haemorrage, is one of the most studied topics. In this review we summarize the published roles of CGRP in pathophysiology of hypertension in humans and in experimental models. We also discuss the effects of direct administration of CGRP in the treatment of hypertension and of anti-hypertensive drugs that enhance the release or response of endogenous calcitonin gene-related peptide: angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, selective antagonists for the angiotensin II receptor, beta-blockers, magnesium sulphate for preeclampsia and rutaecarpine, as well as the possibilities using CGRP in gene therapy for prevention of vasospasm after subarachnoid haemorrage ...

Our laboratory studies the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Originally discovered as an alternatively-spliced variant of the calcitonin mRNA, CGRP is one of the most potent vasodilators known. As a vasodilator, CGRP has both peripheral and central effects. One of the most notable effects of CGRP is its causative effect of migraine on the cerebral vasculature, and stable synthetic antagonists have been recently developed and are in Stage III clinical trials for migraine treatment. CGRP also suppresses immune function, is involved in pain perception, and has further central role in the development of tolerance to opiates ...

After a long illness borne with much grace and dignity, Iain MacIntyre died in London on 18 September 2008. He had led a most distinguished career over five decades as a major figure in the field of calcium-regulating hormones and bone metabolism, with his many scientific achievements marked by originality as well as biological and medical importance. Among his many accomplishments were the co-discovery with Harold Copp of the hormone calcitonin, whose glandular origin, structure and biological and medical functions he defined. Iain also was the first to isolate and sequence, with colleagues, the novel human neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide, demonstrating its role as a potent vasodilator. Subsequently Iain defined the multiple phenotypic consequences attributable to nitric oxide production by different enzymes in a tissue-specific fashion. A major educational contribution was in conceiving and organizing an important biennial series of international endocrine meetings held between ...

Background: Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a neuropeptide with broad salutary cardiovascular effects. Mechanisms underlying cardiac CGRP regulation are poorly understood. The intrinsic cardiac adrenergic (ICA) cell is a novel cardiac neuroendocrine cell that expresses the δ-opioid receptor. We have shown that δ-opioid stimulation of ICA cells induces epinephrine liberation exerting an infarct-size limiting effect via β2-adrenoreceptor (β2-AR) stimulation. In this study we hypothesize that ICA cells synthesize and release CGRP which is involved in myocardial function and that CGRP gene expression can be autoregulated by epinephrine released from the ICA cell or regulated exogenously via β2-AR agonist.. Methods and Results: In situ hybridization coupled with immunofluorescent double labeling localized CGRP mRNA expression exclusively to ICA cells in explanted human left ventricular tissue. To determine whether δ-opioid-enhanced epinephrine release from ICA cells autoregulates CGRP ...

Sensory hypoinnervation in club foot by M Ahmed, N Ahmed et al.  "Sensory hypoinnervation in club foot" by M Ahmed, N Ahmed et al.
Abstract We have compared the density of nerve fibres in the synovium in club foot with that of specimens obtained from the synovium of the hip at operations for developmental dysplasia. The study focused on the sensory neuropeptides substance P; calcitonin gene-related peptide; protein gene product 9.5, a general marker for mature peripheral nerve fibres; and growth associated protein 43, a neuronal marker for new or regenerating nerve fibres. In order to establish whether there might be any inherent difference we analysed the density of calcitonin gene-related peptide-positive nerve fibres in the hip and ankle joints in young rats. Semi-quantitative analysis showed a significant reduction in the number of sensory and mature nerve fibres in the synovium in club foot compared with the control hips. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) positive fibres were reduced by 28%, substance P-positive fibres by 36% and protein gene product 9.5-positive fibres by 52% in club foot.

The goals of this study were to evaluate the influence of CGRP within the BNST on anxiety and on neural activation patterns. We found that intra-BNST CGRP infusions produced an anxiogenic behavioral profile and enhanced neural activation in a number of anxiety-related brain areas, and that antagonism of these receptors prevented anxiety-like responses to TMT odor. CGRP infused bilaterally into the BNST enhanced the acoustic startle response in a dose-dependent manner (experiment 1). This increase was attenuated by prior administration of the CGRP antagonist, αCGRP8-37, at a dose that did not significantly affect startle when given alone (experiment 2). This suggests that the effects on startle were indeed mediated by activation of CGRP receptors. Intra-BNST CGRP infusions (800 ng/side) also decreased the percentage of time spent on the open arms and the percentage of total entries into the open arms of the elevated plus maze (experiment 6). These anxiety-like behavioral results are consistent ...

Background and purpose: Long-term morphine treatment enhances pain neurotransmitter (such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)) levels in the spinal cord. It has been suggested previously that increased spinal CGRP may contribute to sustained morphine-mediated paradoxical pain sensitization and antinociceptive tolerance. Previous in vitro studies from our group indicated that Raf-1 kinase-mediated adenylyl cyclase superactivation played a crucial role in sustained morphine-mediated augmentation of basal and evoked CGRP release from cultured primary sensory neurons. The present study was aimed to evaluate the physiological significance of this molecular mechanism in vivo, in rats ...

The present study demonstrated for the first time that neonatal degeneration of capsaicin-sensitive sensory nerves in rats leads to a significant increase in blood pressure when a high sodium diet is given. This observation is important because it has been shown that (1) substantial decreases in CGRP-containing sensory nerves in the mesenteric arterial bed occur in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR),6 7 indicating that there are inherited abnormalities in either generation or maintenance of sensory nerves in SHR; (2) the plasma CGRP concentration is lower in adult SHR than in age-matched normotensive control rats, indicating that release of CGRP from sensory nerves is decreased in SHR21 ; and (3) vasodilator responses to exogenous CGRP increase with age in SHR, suggesting that sensitivity of receptors to CGRP is increased due to the decreased release of CGRP from sensory nerves.6 7 The defect in sensory vasodilator function may produce an imbalance that could contribute to the development and ...

Die bakterielle Meningitis (BM) ist trotz antibiotischer Therapie eine Erkrankung mit einer hohen Mortalität und Morbidität. Kopfschmerzen und Meningismus sind Hauptsymtome und ein klinischer Hinweis für die Aktivierung trigeminaler Fasern. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es zu prüfen ob die freigesetzten Neuropeptide einen proinflammatorischen Effekt auf zerebrale Endothelzellen, einen wesentlichem Bestandteil der Blut-Hirn-Schranke haben. Wir verwendeten primär kultivierte zerebrale Kapillarendothelzellen (BMEC) der Ratte und als Stimulus Neuropeptide und/oder Pneumokokkenzellwände (PCW). Beide Neuropeptide, CGRP mehr als SP, verstärken den Effekt von PCW auf die mRNA Expression und Freisetzung von TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-10 und MIP-2 aus den BMEC. CGRP und SP haben nur eine geringe Wirkung. PCW regulieren die Dichte der CRLR (CGRP1-R) bzw. NK-1 Rezeptoren und erklären damit die kostimulatorische Wirkung. Zudem untersuchten wir den Effekt von PCW und/oder CGRP auf die Adrenomedullin (AM)- ...

Maintenance of the gastric mucosal barrier is important in terms of protection from harmful substances such as hydrogen ions that are secreted from the mucosa and are capable of producing cell injury.38 Little is known of whether or not gastric neurones contribute towards gastric mucosal protection from injury, although the vagus nerve has long been regarded as a permissive factor in peptic ulcer disease. Recently, extrinsic afferent neurones were found to operate as a neural emergency system in the digestive tract.1 Released neuropeptides from their peripheral endings are known to regulate a variety of physiological functions, including an increase in resistance of the tissue to injury and enhancement of repair of damaged tissues. To study the roles of these sensory neurones, capsaicin, which can act on certain primary afferent neurones and can release neuropeptides selectively, is widely used.39. The pathophysiological involvement of prostaglandins in the nervous systems, including the ...

|p|AQP1 is a polypeptide hormone produced in pancreatic beta-cells that belongs to the family of calcitonin gene-related peptides. There is a 20% sequence homology between AQP1 and calcitonin and 44% homology with calcitonin gene-related peptide. AQP1 and its fragments stimulate the proliferation of osteoblasts, inhibit bone resorption, and increase bone density and the amount of bone mass.Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence suggested that CHIP28 protein contains 6 bilayer-spanning domains, 2 exofacial potential N-glycosylation sites, and intracellular N and C termini. The sequence showed strong homology with the major intrinsic protein of bovine lens (MIP26), which is the prototype of an ancient family of membrane channels.|/p|

The neurotransmitter calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is enriched in the adult rat trigeminal visceral projection to the cerebral arteries compared both to other neurotransmitters in this projection and to the percentage of CGRP-positive trigeminal cells projecting to cutaneous targets. In colchicine-treated ganglia approximately 30% of adult trigeminal ganglion cells projecting to the middle cerebral artery contain CGRP. Several possible developmental mechanisms underlying this enrichment were investigated. Some of this enrichment is accounted for by a prenatal selection of CGRP cells in the cerebrovascular projection. The remainder of the enrichment can be explained by a late (postnatal days 55--90)target-induced expression of CGRP in some trigeminal neurons innervating cerebral arteries. Most surprisingly, the massive postnatal regression in the trigeminal projection to the cerebral arteries (between postnatal days 5 and 55, cell death and axon retraction delete 3/4 of the neurons that ...

Throughout my academic career, I have been focusing on the regulation of vascular tone in health and disease (diabetes type I and II, stroke, hypertension, congestive Heart Failure and age-related changes).. Coronary arteries are densely innervated by sensory nerve endings containing calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). CGRP is a potent naturally occuring 37 amino acid vasodilatory neuropeptide which is released from the perivascular sensory nerve endings in the wall of flow regulating intramural coronary arteries during hypoxia and by low pH levels in the myocardium, thus suggesting a vasodilatory role under ischemic conditions.. Receptor subtypes for CGRP, the intracellular signalling pathways and the mechanism behind CGRP-induced desensitization are still under investigation in both resistance and conductance arteries of different species including human. So far, these studies clearly demonstrate a larger CGRP receptor density in resistance arteries (internal lumen diameter < 200 µm) ...

Numerous studies have demonstrated that the calcitonin receptor (CALCR) is a specific marker of osteoclast differentiation and that calcitonin can inhibit bone resorption in vitro and in vivo. Mice lacking calcitonin and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) have a high bone mass phenotype due to an increase in bone formation parameters. Expression of calcitonin (CT) and its receptor (CTR) generate survival, adhesion, pro-inflammatory, and pro-metastatic pathways. Moreover, data indicate a pivotal role for CT-CTR axis in advanced prostate cancer PC metastasis and may serve as a potential therapeutic target for advanced PC.

CGRP also inhibited the in vitro effects of insulin to stimulate hexose uptake in cultured BC3H1 myocytes at all insulin concentrations studied. Amylin is a peptide isolated from amyloid deposits in pancreatic islets of type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic subjects, is present in normal β-cells, and bears a striking homology to CGRP.

Dietary Sodium Loading Increases Arterial Pressure in Afferent Renal-Denervated Rats | Hypertension  Dietary Sodium Loading Increases Arterial Pressure in Afferent Renal-Denervated Rats | Hypertension
Numerous studies have shown that severing the dorsal roots, ie, the afferent nerves proximal to the dorsal root ganglia, reduces the number of substance P- and calcitonin gene-related peptide-containing nerves in the dorsal horn.21 There are few studies examining the effects of DRX on peripheral afferent innervation. However, there are reports showing that DRX at T6-L2 and L6/S1 reduced the number of substance P- and calcitonin gene-related peptide-containing nerves around the hepatic artery and portal vein22 and in urinary bladder,23 respectively. Therefore, we examined whether the responsiveness of afferent renal nerves was altered by DRX. Three weeks after DRX, increasing renal pelvic pressure failed to increase ARNA. The lack of ARNA responses in DRX rats was even more conspicuous considering that the rats were fed the HNa diet. In agreement with our previous studies,5 increasing renal pelvic pressure resulted in marked increases in ARNA in the sham-DRX rats fed an HNa diet. Further studies ...

Characterization of CGRP protein expression in satellite-like cells and dendritic arbours of the mouse olfactory bulb  Characterization of CGRP protein expression in "satellite-like" cells and dendritic arbours of the mouse olfactory bulb
The main olfactory bulb (OB) is made up of several concentric layers, forming circuitries often involving dendro-dendritic synapses. Important interactions between OB neurons occur in the external plexiform layer (EPL), where dendrites of tufted and Van Gehuchten cells form synapses with dendrites of deeper lying mitral, tufted, and granule cells. OB neurons display a variety of neurotransmitters. Here, the focus is on calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a 37-amino acid neuropeptide transmitter that is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous system. In the OB, CGRP-immunoreactive (ir) cell bodies were mostly observed in the mitral cell layer (MCL) of normal mice, and their number increased following colchicine treatment. Sparsely distributed CGRP-ir cell bodies were also found in the EPL and granular cell layer. Double-immunofluorescence experiments revealed a lack of co-localization between CGRP-like immunoreactivity (LI) and corticotropin-releasing factor- or galanin-LI, ...

Acupuncture for Relief of Angina | Circulation  Acupuncture for Relief of Angina | Circulation
To the Editor: I read with interest the ESBY study (Electrical Stimulation versus coronary artery BYpass surgery in severe angina pectoris) by Mannheimer et al.1 They found that spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has antianginal and anti-ischemic effects in severe angina pectoris and concluded that CABG and SCS are equivalent methods in terms of symptom relief.. In a previous report,2 these authors showed that myocardial extraction of β-endorphin during control atrial pacing changed to release at the maximum pacing rate during SCS. Furthermore, their results indicate local myocardial turnover of β-endorphin, leuenkephalin, and calcitonin-gene-related peptide. Han et al3 found that electroacupuncture of different frequencies was able to activate different opioid systems in the spinal cord of the rat: low frequency (2 Hz) for [Met5 ]enkephalin release and high frequency (100 Hz) for dynorphin A release. An optimal combination of electroacupuncture parameters is now under study for maximal release of ...

Y1 - 1993/9/22. N2 - Stimulation of adenylate cyclase appears to activate ATP-sensitive K+ channels in the basilar artery. We tested the hypothesis that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which increases intracellular adenosine 3,5- cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) levels, activates ATP-sensitive K+ channels and thereby causes vasodilatation. Using a cranial window in anesthetized rats, we examined responses of the basilar artery to CGRP in vivo. We also examined responses of the artery to another vasoactive peptide, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). Topical application of CGRP (10-11 to 10-8 M) increased diameter of the basilar artery. Responses of the basilar artery to CGRP were almost abolished by a CGRP1 receptor antagonist, CGRP-(8-37). Vasodilatation in response to VIP was much smaller than that ...

Calcitonin Related Peptides  Calcitonin Related Peptides
Peptides , Calcitonin Related Peptides; Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), adrenomedullin (ADM) and amylin belong to a unique group of calcitonin-related peptide hormones important for homeostasis in diverse tissues. Calcitonin, a 32-amino acid peptide hormone, is essential for calcium balance, whereas CGRP and ADM are important for neurotransmission and cardiovascular and respiratory function. Calcitonin regulates mineral balance by controlling blood concentrations of calcium and phosphorus metabolism and can cause hypercalcemia. An increase in the serum calcium level is known to stimulate calcitonin secretion. In mammals, the major source of calcitonin is from the parafollicular or C cells in the thyroid gland, but it is also synthesized in a wide variety of other tissues, including the lung and intestinal tract. Calcitonin contains a single disulfide bond, which causes the amino terminus to assume the shape of a ring. The calcitonin family of peptides act through G-protein protein coupled

The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor is a heterodimer of a family B G-protein-coupled receptor, calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR), and the accessory protein receptor activity modifying protein 1. It couples to Gs, but it is not known which intracellular loops mediate this. We have identified the boundaries of this loop based on the relative position and length of the juxtamembrane transmembrane regions 3 and 4. The loop has been analyzed by systematic mutagenesis of all residues to alanine, measuring cAMP accumulation, CGRP affinity, and receptor expression. Unlike rhodopsin, ICL2 of the CGRP receptor plays a part in the conformational switch after agonist interaction. His-216 and Lys-227 were essential for a functional CGRP-induced cAMP response. The effect of (H216A)CLR is due to a disruption to the cell surface transport or surface stability of the mutant receptor. In contrast, (K227A)CLR had wild-type expression and agonist affinity, suggesting a direct disruption to the ...

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are a class of oral anti-diabetic drugs, implicated in pleiotropic secondary cardioprotective effects. The aim of the study was to unveil the unknown and possible cardioprotective targets that can be exerted by sitagliptin (Sitg) against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Male wistar rats received 2 weeks’ Sitg oral treatment of different doses (25, 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg/day), or saline as a Control. Hearts were then isolated and subjected to two different I/R injury protocols: 10 min perfusion, 45 min regional ischemia, and 120 min reperfusion for infarct size (IS) measurement, or: 10 min perfusion, 45 min regional ischemia and 10 min reperfusion for biochemical analysis: nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) and DPP-4 activity, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), Calcium, transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV)-1 and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) levels, transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC)-1 and e-NOS protein expression.

Calcitonin is a circulating polypeptide that inhibits bone resorption by inducing both quiescence (Q effect) and retraction (R effect) in osteoclasts. Two structurally related members of the calcitonin gene peptide family, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and amylin, inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption selectively via the Q effect. In the present study, we have made measurements of cell spread area in response to the application of amylin, CGRP and a peptide fragment of CGRP, CGRP-(Val8Phe37). We found that, over a wide concentration range (50 pmol/l to 2.5 mumol/l), the selective Q effect agonists did not produce an R effect. Furthermore, the peptides, when used at a 50-fold higher molar concentration than calcitonin, did not antagonize calcitonin-induced cell retraction. Additionally, experiments designed to measure changes in the intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in single osteoclasts revealed that, unlike calcitonin, the non-calcitonin Q effect agonists did not produce a rise

It has been proposed that substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) are up-regulated in low-threshold myelinated primary afferents following certain types of nerve injury, and that release of substance P from these afferents contributes to the resulting tactile allodynia. To test this hypothesis, we looked for neuropeptides in Aβ primary afferent terminals in the ipsilateral gracile nucleus and spinal dorsal horn in three nerve injury models: sciatic nerve transection (SNT), spinal nerve ligation (SNL) and chronic constriction injury (CCI). We also looked for evidence of neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor internalisation in the dorsal horn following electrical stimulation of Aβ afferents. We found no evidence of either substance P or CGRP expression in injured Aβ terminals in the spinal cord in any of the models. Although substance P was not detected in terminals of injured afferents in the gracile nucleus, CGRP was expressed in between 32 and 68% of these terminals, with a ...

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptors were solubilized from rat cerebellum membranes in an active, stable, and guanine nucleotide-sensitive form by using digitonin. Nearly 90% of membrane CGRP receptors and 50% of membrane protein were solubilized by digitonin treatment of cerebellum membranes. Binding of 125ICGRP to soluble receptors was specific, saturable, of high affinity, and reversible. Scatchard analysis of the saturation binding data revealed a homogeneous population of binding sites with a Kd of 178 +/- 42 pM and a Bmax of 201 +/- 17 fmol/mg of protein. Binding of 125ICGRP to soluble receptors was inhibited nearly 60% by guanosine-5-O-(3-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) (100 microM), suggesting coupling of receptors with guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) to form high affinity binding sites. Antiserum against the amino-terminal region of Gs alpha immunoprecipitated a significant portion of soluble CGRP receptors, indicating association of receptors with Gs ...

Background. Electrophysiological studies in the mammalian kidney have identified two major classes of sensory receptors of the afferent renal nerves; chemoreceptors (CR) and mechanoreceptors (MR). The localization of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP) in these renal pelvic sensory neurons provides an anatomical basis for a possible functional interaction between the two neuropeptides and SP receptor. The present study was performed to examine the possible changes in the responsiveness of renal sensory SP and CGRP receptors in rats with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes mellitus. Due to the crucial role of renal pelvic SP and CGRP receptors in the activation of renal sensory neurons by various stimuli, we examined whether the responsiveness of MR or CR activation and the dorsal root ganglia content of neuropeptides and neurokinin 1 receptors (NK(1)R) were altered in diabetic rats compared with non-diabetic rats. Methods. Afferent renal nerve activity (ARNA) was ...

This book contains reviews by a renowned group of clinicians and scientists, which consider in great depth the potential involvement of neurogenic inflammation in the pathogenesis of migraine and inhibition of this putative mechanism as a possible mode of action of antimigraine medications. The authors carefully consider current and future potential therapeutic approaches for the abortive as well as preventive treatment of migraine. The pioneering work by Professor Michael A. Moskowitzs group at Harvard gave rise to the neurogenic hypothesis of migraine pathogenesis and to an intel- lectual framework for many aspects of migraine research through a detailed phar- macological characterization of the trigeminovascular system. This knowledge then spurred detailed research worldwide into the roles of the dural vasculature, trigem- inal nerve fibers, and sensory neuropeptides, such as substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide, in migraine. Similar in-depth investigations have not been made of the

Heterotopic ossification, defined as the formation of bone in abnormal anatomic locations, can be clinically insignificant or devastating and debilitating, depending on the site and duration of new bone formation. There are many causes of heterotopic ossification (HO), including soft tissue trauma, central nervous system injury, vasculopathies, arthropathies, and inheritance. One of the least understood components of HO is the interaction of the peripheral nervous system with the induction of this process. Recent work has shown that, upon traumatic injury, a cascade of events termed neurogenic inflammation is initiated, which involves the release of neuropeptides, such as substance P and calcitonin gene related peptide. Release of these peptides ultimately leads to the recruitment of activated platelets, mast cells, and neutrophils to the injury site. These cells appear to be involved with both remodeling of the nerve, as well as potentially recruiting additional cells from the bone marrow to ...

Analysts took a look at the data on Amgens latest Phase III for CGRP migraine drug erenumab (AMG334) and came away reassured, but perhaps a bit unimpressed. Heres Leerinks Geoffrey Porges: "The data confirm the ample evidence from phase 2 trials that suggested that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor blockade will provide the first-ever migraine targeted prevention pharmaceutical treatment. Both trials demonstrated the superiority of AMG334 to placebo on both the primary and secondary endpoints, as well as showing excellent safety and tolerability. While the data were not overwhelmingly positive (i.e., 60% of patients with 50% reduction in migraine days), they were consistent and durable, which should ensure widespread adoption by patients (provide pricing and payer processing allow it). Amgens erenumab appears to have shown a similar placebo adjusted effect as Alders (OP) Eptinezumab in phase 2 trials (1 day improvement of monthly migraines at week 12). The effect is lower than ...

We investigated possible structural modifications of inhibitory synapses in response to these activity alterations induced by TeNT. We used immunofluorescence against postsynaptic (gephyrin) and presynaptic (vesicular γ-aminobutyric acid [GABA] transporter [VGAT]) markers of inhibitory synapses in combination with cell type markers for abducens motoneurons (calcitonin gene-related peptide or choline acetyltransferase) or internuclear neurons (calretinin).

A statistically significant (p=0.0039) increase in IL6 was shown in the blood plasma of the cisplatin animals (131.9±31.91 pg/ml) compared to the vehicle animals (38.00±6.748 pg/ml). There were no significant differences between cisplatin and vehicle animals in dorsal horn neurones or astrocytes at either time point. Microglia cell counts in the dorsal horn were significantly decreased at the juvenile time point in the Cisplatin treatment group. Cisplatin induced significant increases in dorsal horn expression of Aβ-fibre and non-peptidergic C-fibre terminations at both time-points, in the Cisplatin treatment group. TrkA expression in dorsal horn peptidetgic C-fibre terminations was increased at both time-points, however, CGRP expression was only initially increased at the juvenile time-point but showed no difference to the veh at the adult time-point. Interneuron expression was increased at both time-points ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE High-altitude headache is the primary symptom associated with acute mountain sickness, which may be caused by nitric oxide-mediated activation of the trigeminovascular system. Therefore, the present study examined the effects of inspiratory hypoxia on the transcerebral exchange kinetics of the vasoactive molecules, nitrite (NO(2)(*)), and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). METHODS Ten males were examined in normoxia and after 9-hour exposure to hypoxia (12.9% O(2)). Global cerebral blood flow was measured by the Kety-Schmidt technique with paired samples obtained from the radial artery and jugular venous bulb. Plasma CGRP and NO(2)(*) were analyzed via radioimmunoassay and ozone-based chemiluminescence. Net cerebral exchange was calculated by the Fick principle and acute mountain sickness/headache scores assessed via clinically validated questionnaires. RESULTS Hypoxia increased cerebral blood flow with a corresponding increase in acute mountain sickness and headache

This article reviews the anti-inflammatory relative and anti-infectious effects of Evodia rutaecarpa and its major bioactive components and the involvement of the nitric oxide synthases, cyclooxygenase, NADPH oxidase, nuclear factor kappa B, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha, reactive oxygen species, prostaglandins, tumor necrosis factor, LIGHT, amyloid protein and orexigenic neuropeptides. Their potential applications for the treatment of endotoxaemia, obesity, diabetes, Alzheimers disease and their uses as cardiovascular and gastrointestinal protective agents, analgesics, anti-oxidant, anti-atherosclerosis agents, dermatological agents and anti-infectious agents are highlighted. Stimulation of calcitonin gene-related peptide release may partially explain the analgesic, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal protective, anti-obese activities of Evodia rutaecarpa and its major bioactive components.

Effects of Adjuvant on Neuropeptide-Like Immunoreactivity in the Temporomandibular Joint and Trigeminal Ganglia  Effects of Adjuvant on Neuropeptide-Like Immunoreactivity in the Temporomandibular Joint and Trigeminal Ganglia
PMID: 9610308 To study the role of the nervous system in temporomandibular joint arthritis, substance P-, calcitonin gene-related peptide-, and neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactivity in the trigeminal ganglia and temporomandibular joint of rats was examined. Arthritis was induced in female Lewis rats through bilateral injection of a suspension of heat-killed Mycobacterium butyricum in paraffin oil into the temporomandibular joint. Control rats received paraffin oil via the same route. Tissues were collected for neuropeptide extraction 28 days after injection and analyzed by radioimmunoassay and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatogrpahy. Calcitonin gene-related peptide was significantly increased in the arthritic trigeminal ganglia. Substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide, and neuropeptide Y in the arthritic temporomandibular joint were significantly increased as compared to controls. The results of this study show that sensory and sympathetic neuropeptides may possibly be ...

Background: Secretagogin (Scgn), a member of the EF-hand calcium-binding protein (CaBP) superfamily, has recently been found in subsets of developing and adult neurons. Here, we have analyzed the expression of Scgn in dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) and trigeminal ganglia (TGs), and in spinal cord of mouse at the mRNA and protein levels, and in comparison to the well-known CaBPs, calbindin D-28k, parvalbumin and calretinin. Rat DRGs, TGs and spinal cord, as well as human DRGs and spinal cord were used to reveal phylogenetic variations. Results: We found Scgn mRNA expressed in mouse and human DRGs and in mouse ventral spinal cord. Our immunohistochemical data showed a complementary distribution of Scgn and the three CaBPs in mouse DRG neurons and spinal cord. Scgn was expressed in similar to 7% of all mouse DRG neuron profiles, mainly small ones and almost exclusively co-localized with calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). This co-localization was also seen in human, but not in rat DRGs. Scgn could ...

Headache | McGraw-Hills NAPLEX® Review Guide, 2e | AccessPharmacy | McGraw-Hill Medical  Headache | McGraw-Hill's NAPLEX® Review Guide, 2e | AccessPharmacy | McGraw-Hill Medical
Headaches are a common chief complaint of patients seeking advice from a pharmacist. The three main categories of primary headache disorder are migraine, tension-type, and cluster headaches. The pathophysiologic and etiologic mechanisms of migraine are not known. The sensory sensitivity may be due to a dysfunction of monoaminergic sensory control systems of the brainstem and thalamus. It is speculated that the trigeminovascular input from the meningeal vessels is a pathway for pain recognized in migraine headaches. There is a release of vasoactive neuropeptides, specifically calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), when the cells in the trigeminal nucleus are activated. There is a deficiency of serotonin levels in the plasma during a migraine attack. The use of serotonin agonists, triptans, in migraine therapy has demonstrated the role of serotonin in treatment, being potent agonists of 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, and 5-HT1F. Dopamine may also play a role in migraine headaches as dopamine receptor ...

HOT peppers have been used for centuries as a remedy for various ailments. Modern clinicians use the active ingredient capsaicin most commonly to relieve pain. Topical application of capsaicin to skin or mucus membranes and intrathecal administration causes the release and ultimate depletion of substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide. 1-5 This response is thought to be the antecedent to pain relief when used for pain reduction. Capsaicin (trans -8-methyl-N -vanillyl-6-nonenamide) is a specific excitant of unmyelinated afferent fibers (C fibers). Because most C fibers conduct nociceptive impulses and produce acute symptoms that mimic some chronic pain syndromes, such as complex regional pain syndrome types I and II, capsaicin has been used as a probe to study the mechanisms of pain generation. An intradermal injection of a small amount of capsaicin evokes an intensely painful, burning sensation. The skin overlying the bleb raised by the injection is insensitive to noxious stimuli, but ...

Effects of pertussis toxin on adenylate cyclase responses to prostaglandin E2 and calcitonin in human breast cancer cells |...  Effects of pertussis toxin on adenylate cyclase responses to prostaglandin E2 and calcitonin in human breast cancer cells |...
Both calcitonin and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) stimulate adenylate cyclase activity in the human breast cancer cell line (T 47D). The maximum cyclic AMP response to calcitonin exceeds that of PGE2. When maximal concentrations of the two hormones were added simultaneously to the cells, the amount of cyclic AMP generated was less than that seen with calcitonin alone. When cells were treated with the protein toxin of Bordetella pertussis (islet-activating protein; IAP) which inactivates the inhibitory regulatory component (Ni) of adenylate cyclase, there was no change in basal or calcitonin-responsive adenylate cyclase in intact cells. However, the PGE2 response was augmented at all dose levels, and this effect was dependent on the concentration of IAP. Moreover, in cells pretreated with IAP, simultaneous addition of PGE2 and calcitonin resulted in additivity rather than in inhibition of cyclic AMP production. The additivity of the response to calcitonin and PGE2 after IAP treatment implies activation ...
