N2 - The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) plays a central role in regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Medial parvocellular neurons of the PVH (mpPVH) integrate sensory and humoral inputs to maintain homeostasis. Humoral inputs include glucocorticoids secreted by the adrenals, which down-regulate HPA activation. A primary glucocorticoid target is the population of mpPVH neurons that synthesize and secrete corticotropin-releasing factors, the most potent of which is corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). Although CRH gene (crh) expression is known to be down-regulated by glucocorticoids, the mechanisms by which this process occurs are still poorly ...

Under basal conditions, relative levels of both primary transcripts varied inversely as a function of plasma B titers. In response to stress, the kinetics of CRF hnRNA responses of intact and ADX rats replaced with low B were similar, peaking at 5 min after stress. By contrast, intact rats ...

Author(s): Brunson, Kristen L; Grigoriadis, Dimitri E; Lorang, Marge T; Baram, Tallie Z | Abstract: In addition to regulating the neuroendocrine stress response, corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) has been implicated in both normal and pathological behavioral and cognitive responses to stress. CRH-expressing cells and their target neurons possessing CRH receptors (CRF1 and CRF2) are distributed throughout the limbic system, but little is known about the regulation of limbic CRH receptor function and expression, including regulation by the peptide itself. Because CRH is released from limbic neuronal terminals during stress, this regulation might play a crucial role in the mechanisms by which stress contributes to human neuropsychiatric conditions such as depression or posttraumatic stress disorder. Therefore, these studies tested the hypothesis that CRH binding to CRF1 influenced the levels and mRNA expression of this receptor in stress-associated limbic regions of immature rat. Binding capacities and

The regulatory region of the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is highly conserved across species and plays a crucial role in the response of the organism to stress. Release of CRH initiates a cascade of events leading to the release of cortisol and the regulation of inflammatory and immune events. In this report we describe polymorphisms in the 5 regulatory region of the CRH gene in humans. We studied the distribution of CRH alleles in three different African populations, in white UK Caucasoids, and in a Chinese population. In the African and UK populations we found three new polymorphisms which cosegregated, resulting in two alleles, A1 and A2. Gene frequencies for A1 and A2 were extremely divergent between the African and the UK populations. The African A1 frequency ranged from 0.27-0.3, while the UK Caucasoid frequency was 0.9. Compound alleles could be assigned by taking into account the previously described biallelic polymorphism at position 225 in the CRH promoter. The A2B1 compound allele

In various animals, such as some fish, early exposure during development to environmental stressors, including high temperature, causes genetically female animals to develop male gonads. Although the process of sex reversal has been studied at a molecular level during gonad development, the role of the brain remains enigmatic. Now, Juan Fernandino and colleagues provide the first evidence that the central nervous system regulates environmental masculinisation in the medaka. They show that corticotropin-releasing hormone B (crhb) is upregulated in embryos incubated at high temperature during the period of gonadal sex determination. Using CRISPR/Cas9 to mutate the two genes encoding receptors for Crh, the authors show that mutating both crhr1 and crhr2 reduces female-to-male sex reversal at high temperatures. The process of masculinisation in these mutants can be rescued through the addition of cortisol, which acts downstream of Crh. Together, these data indicate that the ...

Background In this study the predictive value of the combined dexamethasone/CRH test (DEX/CRH test) for acute antidepressant response was investigated. Methodology/Principal Findings In 114 depressed inpatients suffering from unipolar or bipolar depression (sample 1) the DEX/CRH test was performed at admission and shortly before discharge. During their stay in the hospital patients received different antidepressant treatment regimens. At admission, the rate of nonsuppression (basal cortisol levels |75.3 nmol/l) was 24.6% and was not related to the later therapeutic response. Moreover, 45 out of 114 (39.5%) patients showed an enhancement of HPA axis function at discharge in spite of clinical improvement. In a second sample, 40 depressed patients were treated either with reboxetine or mirtazapine for 5 weeks. The DEX/CRH test was performed before, after 1 week, and after 5 weeks of pharmacotherapy. Attenuation of HPA axis activity after 1 week was associated with a more pronounced alleviation of

0.05) while circulating levels were unchanged at 3 or 4 4 h. ACTH levels rose compared to control rats (135.3 ± 13.8 vs. 101.4 ± 6.0 pg/ml; p < 0.05) 30 min after the increase in CRH while at 3 or 6 h after LPS the levels were not changed. Conclusion Intraperitoneal LPS induces a delayed rise in plasma CRH levels associated with an elevation in ACTH plasma levels 30 min later suggesting that under conditions of immune challenge CRH of peripheral origin may also contribute to pituitary activation as detected using the RAPID method of blood processing which improves CRH recovery. Blood collected as described in experimental protocols was transferred to EDTA-containing borosilicate glass tubes on ice and in parallel immediately within 7-10 min processed according to the 3 methods. The first set of Y-33075 samples was processed according to the RAPID method as detailed previously [19]. Briefly the blood was diluted 1:10 in ice-cold buffer (pH 3.6) containing 0.1 ammonium acetate 0.5 NaCl and ...

Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), the principal neuropeptide regulator of pituitary ACTH secretion, is also produced at peripheral inflammatory sites, where it acts as a proinflammatory cytokine, and by the Leydig cell of the testis, where it exerts autocrine inhibition of testosterone biosynthesis. Because key ovarian functions, such as ovulation and luteolysis, represent aseptic inflammatory responses, and because the theca cell is the functional equivalent of the Leydig cell, we explored the CRH presence in the ovary, first, by specific CRH immunohistochemistry of adult cycling female Sprague-Dawley rat ovaries. We detected cytoplasmic immunoreactive CRH (IrCRH) in theca and stromal cells and in cells within the corpora lutea, at all phases of the estrous cycle. Using a specific radioimmunoassay, we measured IrCRH in extracts of rat ovaries (0.042-0.126 pmol/g wet tissue). The mobility of the ovarian IrCRH molecule was similar to that of rat/human CRH by reverse phase HPLC. To ...

The isoflavone, daidzein is a biologically active, plant-derived compound that interacts with estrogen receptors. Data from previous studies have suggested that daidzein exerts beneficial effects in many diseases; however, as an endocrine disrupter, it may also alter the functioning of the endocrine system. Data regarding the effect of daidzein on the morphofunctional and histological parameters of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) system is still lacking. Therefore, using the newCAST stereological software, we investigated the effects of chronic (21 days) daidzein treatment on corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) neurons within the hypothalamus and corticotropes (ACTH cells) in the pituitary, while image analysis was employed to-examine the intensity of fluorescence of CRH in the median eminence (ME) and adrenocorticotropin hormone in the pituitary in adult orchidectomized (Ovx) rats ...

In several neurological disorders including cerebral ischaemia, glutamate has been implicated as a neurotoxic agent in the mechanisms leading to neuronal cell death. The role of corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH), the 41-amino acid peptide, which activates the HPA axis in response to stressful stimuli, remains controversial. In this study, we report that CRH in low physiological concentrations (2 pm), prevented glutamate-induced neurotoxicity via receptor-mediated mechanisms when administered to organotypic hippocampal cultures both during and after the glutamate-induced insult. Detailed investigations on the mechanisms mediating this neuroprotective effect showed that activation of the adenylate cyclase pathway and induction of MAP kinase phosphorylation mediate the CRH action. In addition we showed that CRH can inhibit the phosphorylation of JNK/SAPK by glutamate. Most importantly, we showed that CRH can afford neuroprotection against neurotoxicity up to 12 h following the insult, ...

Subjects. The subjects were 63 male Long-Evans rats (Charles River, Raleigh, NC; 300-400 gm). Thirty-seven rats were studied for self-administration of heroin. Four of these animals developed blocked catheters, and their data are not included in the tests for reinstatement. They were, however, used for hormonal measurements at the end of the experiment. The animals were transferred from the animal housing facility to operant chambers 1 week after surgery. The animals lived in the operant chambers for 24 hr per day and were maintained on a reversed light/dark cycle (lights on 10:00 P.M. to 10:00 A.M.) throughout the experiment. Food and water were available ad libitum except during the 3 hr tests for reinstatement (see below). Twenty-six drug-naive rats were used for hormonal measurements after exposure to metyrapone and footshock. These rats were maintained on a reverse light/dark cycle in the animal facility with food and water available ad libitum. The drug-naive rats were brought to the ...

Corticotropin-releasing hormone is a potent stimulator of synthesis and secretion of preopiomelanocortin-derived peptides. Although CRH concentrations in the human peripheral circulation are normally low, they increase throughout pregnancy and fall rapidly after parturition. Maternal plasma CRH probably originates from the placenta. Human plasma contains a CRH-binding protein which inactivates CRH and which may prevent inappropriate pituitary-adrenal stimulation in pregnancy ...

Dr. Koobs early research interests were directed at the neurobiology of emotion, with a focus on the theoretical constructs of reward and stress. He has made contributions to our understanding of the anatomical connections of the emotional systems and the neurochemistry of emotional function. Dr. Koob has identified afferent and efferent connections of the basal forebrain in the region of the nucleus accumbens, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, and central nucleus of the amygdala in motor activation, reinforcement mechanisms, behavioral responses to stress, drug self-administration, and the neuroadaptation associated with drug dependence. Dr. Koobs work with the neurobiology of stress includes the characterization of behavioral functions in the central nervous system for catecholamines, opioid peptides, and corticotropin-releasing factor. Corticotropin-releasing factor, in addition to its classical hormonal functions in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, is also located in ...

corticotropin releasing factor-binding protein: MW 37 kDa; abolishes CRH-induced ACTH release; amino acid sequence in first source, (CRF-BP)

Labeled antagonists have advantages over agonists for the characterization of G protein-coupled receptors if, for example, the total number of binding sites is of interest, because the binding of antagonists is independent of the fraction of receptors coupled to the GTP-binding proteins (DeLean et al., 1980). For example, in thebeta adrenergic receptor system, high-affinity antagonists were used in receptor characterization (Brown et al., 1976).. All previously reported CRF antagonists were of too low an affinity to be used as radioligands for characterizing CRF-R1 receptors. With astressin (Gulyas et al., 1995), we now have an antagonist of sufficient affinity to make it suitable as a radioligand for the detection and characterization of both cloned and endogenous CRF receptors. Using autoradiographic techniques and radioreceptor assays, brain receptors have also been detected with oCRF* (De Souza et al., 1984) and 125I-labeled [Tyr0]oCRF (Grigoriadis and De Souza, 1988;Webster et al., ...

In general, when one perceives a stressful situation, the (limbic)-hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is activated. The HPA axis is a set of neuroendocrine responses to a stressful situation. The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus secretes corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and vasopressin, which are both part of the neuroendocrine system, classified as neurotransmitters and hormones (...animal physiology class is all coming back...). Vasopressin is an anti-diuretic, polypeptide hormone responsible for the bodys conservation of water and plays a key role in the regulation of homeostasis. CRH is also a polypeptide hormone and is responsible for stimulating further stress hormones. CRH is carried to the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland and vasopressin to the to the posterior lobe of the pituitary. CRH stimulates the synthesis and release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which is then released into the bloodstream and stimulates the adrenal glands. The adrenals are two ...

The CRF1 receptor is a Gs-coupled GPCR expressed in the brain and pituitary gland that binds to several neuropeptides, including corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and urocortin, and the amphibian peptide sauvagine. CRF plays a predominant role in stress response mediated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and alterations in CRF and its receptors CRF1 and CRF2 appear to be linked to depression and anxiety. In comparison to the CRF2 receptor, the CRF1 receptor has received considerable attention as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of stress-related disorders such as adrenocorticotropin hypersecretion, increased colonic motility and exaggerated fear and anxiety-related behavior.

Figure 1: Structure of Cart peptides. Receptors involved with CART Peptides. So far, no specific CART receptor has been identified. However, there is substantial experimental evidence suggesting the existence of several CART receptor subtypes.. For example, several studies have shown that CART peptides could activate three signaling mechanisms, and that they modulate dopamine receptors-related pathways. First, CART 55-102 has been described to inhibit the voltage-gated L-type Ca2+ channels in a pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive manner [5]. PTX is an inhibitor of inhibitory-G-protein (Gi/Go)-dependent signaling pathways [6]. Then, CART 55-102 has been described to increase the phosphorylation of cyclic AMP-response-element-binding protein (CREB) in the nucleus of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) neurons located in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus in rats [7]. Ultimately, it promotes the expression of the CREB and induces profound antidepressant effects. Numerous genes associated with ...

In an attempt to clarify the role of the type 2 corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) receptor (CRHR-2) in the brain in activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis, we conducted experiments using male Wistar rats. First, an injection of urocortin-2 (7.5 µg) into the lateral ventricle resulted in transient increases in CRH heteronuclear RNA (hnRNA) in parvocellular paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and in plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), whereas sustained increases in arginine vasopressin (AVP) hnRNA and c-fos mRNA in the parvocellular PVN were observed as compared with vehicle treatment. Pretreatment with the selective CRHR-2 antagonist antisauvagine-30 (20 µg) into the lateral ventricle 15 min prior to agonist injection attenuated the stimulatory effects of urocortin-2 on the above-mentioned hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis variables. These effects were similar or rather more potent than those induced by pretreatment with 50 µg of α-helical CRH. Second, we found longer

The human CRHR2 gene contains 12 exons. Three major functional isoforms, alpha (411 amino acids), beta (438 amino acids), and gamma (397 amino acids), encoded by transcripts with alternative first exons,[7] differ only in the N-terminal sequence comprising the signal peptide and part of the extracellular domain (amino acids 18-108 of CRHR2 alpha); the unique N-terminal sequence of each isoform (34 amino acids in CRHR2 alpha; 61 amino acids in Hs CRHR2 beta; 20 amino acids in CRHR2 gamma) is followed by a sequence common to all isoforms (377 amino acids)[8] comprising most of the multi-pass transmembrane domain followed by a cytoplasmic domain of 47 amino acids. CRHR2 beta is expressed in human brain; CRHR2 alpha predominates in peripheral tissues. The N-terminal signal peptides of corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1 and CRHR2 beta are cleaved off in the endoplasmic reticulum to yield the mature receptors. In contrast, CRHR2 alpha contains a unique pseudo signal peptide that is not removed ...

This is the first study confirming that exogenous CRH can produce considerable changes in phasic contractions in human colon and small intestine. CRH is a peptide containing 41 amino acids,21distributed in the whole brain with dense localisation in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus,22 and now considered to be a major mediator of the stress response.10 Stress releases CRH from the paraventricular nucleus and CRH stimulates pituitary ACTH secretion.23Growing evidence from animal experiments indicates that endogenous CRH plays a role in mediating stress induced alteration of gastrointestinal motor function.6-9 Intracerebroventricular administration of CRH mimics the effects of various stressors in inhibiting small intestinal transit and stimulating colonic motor function through autonomic pathways in rats.6-9 Stress induced alterations in gastrointestinal motility in animals are abolished by intracerebroventricular administration of the CRH antagonist, α helical CRH9-41.6-9 Our data ...

Neuropeptides such as neuropeptide Y (NPY) and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) have been implicated not only in acute regulation of stress/anxiety-related behaviors, but adaptations and changes in these neuropeptide systems may also participate in the regulation of behavior and endocrine responses during chronic stress. NPY is an endogenous anxiolytic neuropeptide, while CRH has anxiogenic properties upon central administration. Changes in these neuropeptide systems may contribute to disease states and give us indications for putative treatment targets for stress/anxiety disorders as well as alcohol/drug dependence. In this review, we briefly present these two systems and review their involvement in mediating the responses to acute and chronic stressors, as well as their possible roles in the development and progression of stress/anxiety disorders.

TY - JOUR. T1 - CRH receptor antagonists. T2 - Advances and prospective. AU - Ayala, A. R.. AU - Wand, G. S.. PY - 2000/1/1. Y1 - 2000/1/1. N2 - Corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH), a 41-amino acid peptide, is the main regulator of pituitary adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH). Its secretion in humans plays a major role in the physiologic response to stress. CRH Type 1 and 2 receptors are widely distributed throughout the CNS and to a lesser extent in peripheral tissues. The CRH neurones modulate autonomic (locus ceruleus) and limbic system function. Furthermore, the presence of CRH receptors in inflammatory tissue and the placenta suggests that this neuropeptide is involved in modulation of the immune response and parturition. Hypersecretion of CRH is thought to play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of major depression, anxiety and drug withdrawal. Therefore, antagonising CRH action has become a major therapeutic strategy for these disorders. Data from transgenic mice lacking or ...

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is typically considered to mediate aversive aspects of stress, fear and anxiety. However, CRF release in the brain is also elicited by natural rewards and incentive cues, raising the possibility that some CRF systems in the brain mediate an independent function of positive incentive motivation, such as amplifying incentive salience. Here we asked whether activation of a limbic CRF subsystem magnifies the increase in positive motivation for reward elicited by incentive cues previously associated with that reward, in a way that might exacerbate cue-triggered binge pursuit of food or other incentives? We assessed the impact of CRF microinjections into the medial shell of nucleus accumbens using a pure incentive version of Pavlovian-Instrumental transfer, a measure specifically sensitive to the incentive salience of reward cues (which it separates from influences of aversive stress, stress reduction, frustration and other traditional explanations for stress-increased

Centrally released oxytocin (OXT) has anxiolytic and anti-stress effects. Delayed gastric emptying (GE) induced by acute restraint stress (ARS) for 90 min is completely restored following 5 consecutive days of chronic homotypic restraint stress (CHS), via up-regulating hypothalamic OXT expression in rats. However, the mechanism behind the restoration of delayed GE following CHS remains unclear. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-projecting neurons in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) have been shown to inhibit corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) synthesis via GABA(A) receptors. We hypothesized that GABA(A) receptors are involved in mediating the inhibitory effect of OXT on CRF expression in the PVN, which in turn restores delayed GE following CHS. OXT (0.5 μg) and selective GABA(A) receptor antagonist, bicuculline methiodide (BMI) (100 ng), were administered intracerebroventricularly (icv). Solid GE was measured under non-stressed (NS), ARS and CHS conditions. Expression of CRF mRNA in the PVN was ...

Introduction: Marchigian Sardinian alcohol-preferring (msP) rats exhibit innate preference for alcohol along with anxious phenotype. In these animals, two single-nucleotide polymorphisms in position -1,836 and -2,097 from the first start codon of the CRF1-R transcript have been found. Materials and Methods: Here, we examined whether these point mutations account for the heightened anxiety-like behavior and stress responsiveness of msP rats. We rederived the msP rats to obtain two distinct lines carrying the wild-type (GG) and point mutations (AA), respectively. Results: CRF1-R gene expression analysis revealed significant dysregulation of the system in the extended amygdala of AA rats. At the behavioral level, using the elevated plus maze, we found that both AA and GG lines had higher basal anxiety compared to Wistar rats. In the defensive burying test, AA rats showed decreased burying behavior compared to the GG and the unselected Wistar lines. Freezing/immobility did not differ among AA and GG ...

Drug addiction can be defined by a three-stage cycle-binge/intoxication, withdrawal/negative affect, and preoccupation/anticipation-that involves allostatic changes in the brain reward and stress systems. Two primary sources of reinforcement, positive and negative reinforcement, have been hypothesized to play a role in this allostatic process. The negative emotional state that drives negative reinforcement is hypothesized to derive from dysregulation of key neurochemical elements involved in the brain reward and stress systems. Specific neurochemical elements in these structures include not only decreases in reward system function (within-system opponent processes) but also recruitment of the brain stress systems mediated by corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and dynorphin-κ opioid systems in the ventral striatum, extended amygdala, and frontal cortex (both between-system opponent processes). CRF antagonists block anxiety-like responses associated with withdrawal, block increases in reward thresholds

Supplementary Materials1. just correlated with ER favorably, but with ErbB3 in clinical breasts cancers datasets inversely. LRIG1, an estrogen-inducible ErbB down-regulator, was reduced in a -panel of fulvestrant-treated luminal breasts cancers cells. Ectopic LRIG1 appearance from an estrogen-independent promoter uncoupled LRIG1 from estrogen legislation, sustaining LRIG1 and preserving low ErbB3 amounts in fulvestrant-treated cells thus. An LRIG1 mutant missing the ErbB3 relationship motif was inadequate to down-regulate ErbB3. Significantly, LRIG1 overexpression improved fulvestrant-mediated development inhibition, while cells expressing the LRIG1 mutant had been delicate to fulvestrant badly, despite effective ER down-regulation. In keeping with these total outcomes, LRIG1 appearance correlated favorably with an increase BF 227 of disease-free success in anti-estrogen-treated breasts cancers sufferers. These data suggest that ER-dependent expression of LRIG1 dampens ErbB3 signaling in luminal ...

Many unmet needs persist around adrenal insufficiency [132, 133]. Adrenal glands are called the gland of stress. They are made of two distinct tissues: 1) the central medulla derives from the neuro-ectoderm and produces catecholamines; 2) the cortex derives from the intermediate mesoderm and is characterised by its activity of steroidogenesis [134]. Progenitor cells are found within the mesenchymal capsule and are embedded in the outermost cortical zone. The cortex is divided into three distinct zones. The outer zona glomerulosa produces mineralocorticoids (aldosterone), the zona fasciculata produces GCs (cortisol) and the zona reticularis produces adrenal androgens (dihydroepiandrosterone). GC production is stimulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) within a well-known negative feedback loop orchestrated by the pituitary gland, in response to hypothalamic corticotropin-releasing hormone release. Both ACTH and GC releases are cyclic, with a zenith in the morning and nadir in the middle ...

Stressful stimuli induced by immobilization are perceived as acute stress in rats. This acute stress activates corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), resulting in stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The ventral ascending noradrenergic bundles (V-NAB) from the brainstem innervate the PVN. To investigate the relationship between the response of the HPA axis and the V-NAB, we examined changes in plasma corticosterone, the final output of the HPA axis, and extracellular noradrenaline (NA) in the PVN following immobilization stress in rats that received bilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions of the V-NAB. 6-OHDA microinjection into the V-NAB reduced the magnitude of the responses of plasma corticosterone and extracellular NA in the PVN following immobilization stress. Our results suggest that V-NAB innervation of the PVN is involved in immobilization stress-induced activation of the HPA axis.

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and urotensin I (UI) precursor cDNAs were cloned and sequenced from a goldfish brain cDNA library in order to investigate the distribution of CRF and UI mRNAs in goldfish brain and the regulation of CRF and UI gene expression. The CRF (966-bp) and UI (769-bp) cDNAs encode 163- and 146-amino acid precursors, respectively, and consist of a signal peptide sequence, a cryptic region, and a 41-amino acid mature peptide at the carboxy terminal. The deduced amino acid sequences of the CRF and UI peptides exhibit a sequence identity of 54%. Northern blot analysis revealed a single size of CRF (1.3 kb) and UI (2.0 kb) mRNAs, which are expressed in the telencephalon-preoptic, hypothalamic, optic tectum-thalamus, and posterior brain regions, but not in the pituitary. In addition, while the CRF gene is strongly expressed in the olfactory bulbs, the UI gene is not. In brain regions in which both genes are expressed, the mRNA levels of CRF were three- to sevenfold higher ...

We administered corticosterone to wild-type and Pomc−/− mice for 10 days, achieving comparable plasma corticosterone and hypothalamic CRH expression levels. Only in the Pomc−/− mice did this cause increased body weight and fat mass. An increase in food intake was also only seen in Pomc-null mice, with this exacerbation of preexisting hyperphagia likely to be as a result of a corticosterone-dependent increase in the expression of the orexigenic neuropeptide, AgRP.. Ten days of glucocorticoid treatment did not increase blood glucose levels but did increase plasma insulin levels in both wild-type and Pomc−/− mice. However, the absolute plasma insulin levels measured and fold increase from control were markedly higher in Pomc-null mice. Furthermore, corticosterone treatment to mice from weaning resulted in a progressive rise in blood glucose and frank diabetes by 10-12 weeks only in Pomc−/− mice, having no such effect in wild-type animals.. Two other groups have investigated the ...

Supplementary MaterialsAdditional file 1: Physique S1. Microglia are the primary ROS-producing cells in Tfpi the CNS in response to trauma. Given that they possess the necessary machinery to incorporate iron under basal and LPS-stimulated conditions (Additional?file?1: Determine S1), we examined the effect of iron on microglial ROS production. Primary rat microglia cultures were exposed to the Fe2+ donor, FeSO4, LPS, or both for 24?h. We detected a significant ROS accentuation among the cells with FeSO4 exposure that was similar to LPS exposure (Ctrl vs. FeSO4, em p /em ?=?0.0027; Ctrl vs. LPS, em p /em ?=?0.0023, one-way ANOVA with Tukeys post-hoc test, Fig.?1a). Combining FeSO4 with LPS for 24?h resulted in a significant elevation of ROS release in comparison to either FeSO4 or LPS alone (FeSO4 vs FeSO4?+?LPS, em p /em ? ?0.0001; LPS vs FeSO4?+?LPS, em p /em ? ?0.0001, one-way ANOVA with Tukeys post-hoc test, Fig.?1a). Further, administration of the iron chelating agent DFO resulted in ...

Data Availability StatementAll data comes in the manuscript. was extensively investigated for recurrent pulmonary infections and irregular radiological findings, which included pulmonary nodules, infiltrates and splenomegaly. Subsequently, she was referred to an immunology medical center, where immunoglobulin alternative treatment was started for what was ultimately considered to be CVID. Shortly afterwards, evaluation of her medical, radiological and histological findings at a specialist interstitial lung disease medical center led to a analysis of GLILD. Conclusion CVID is definitely a condition which should become suspected in individuals with immunodeficiency and recurrent infections. Concomitant autoimmune disorders such as AL082D06 haemolytic anaemia and immune thrombocytopenia may further support the analysis. As illustrated within this complete case, theres a uncommon association between CVID and inflammatory participation from the neurological program. Respiratory physicians also needs ...

The flight or fright response, also known as acute stress response, is a survival mechanism that allows individuals to react promptly to a life-threatening situation. The limbic system plays a pivotal role in controlling such behavior.. Neural signals arising from any stressful situation activate the amygdala, which subsequently processes the information and activates the hypothalamus. Afterward, the hypothalamus sends sympathetic discharges to the adrenal gland and facilitates the release of adrenalin into blood. This in turn activates various autonomic responses to trigger the flight or fright response.. After the initial adrenalin surge, the hypothalamus activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to suppress the sympathetic discharge. In case of persistent stressful condition, the hypothalamus secretes corticotropin-releasing hormone and activates the pituitary gland to release adrenocorticotropic hormone.. This hormone activates the adrenal gland and facilitates the secretion of ...

Two populations of neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus that have different efferent projections and physiological roles in the regulation of visceral responses were characterized morphologically with a combined intracellular filling, retrograde tracer, and immunohistochemical method. Neuroendocrine cells were retrogradely labeled by an intravenous injection of Fast blue, and distinguished from descending neurons that were retrogradely labeled by an injection of fluorogold into the spinal cord. Retrogradely labeled neurons were selectively penetrated and filled intracellularly with Lucifer yellow to visualize detailed features of their morphology. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)-containing neurons were distinguished from other neuroendocrine cells by immunostaining the tissue with an antiserum to rat CRH. Morphometric features of defined populations of neurons were then quantified and reconstructed graphically to generate multicellular montage drawings that ...

The effect of NmU on stress and pain perception pathways has been demonstrated using mice. In contrast to NmU peptide-deficient mice, NmUR2 knockout (KO) mice appeared normal with regard to stress, anxiety, body weight regulation, and food consumption. However, the NmUR2 KO mice exhibit reduced pain sensitivity in both hot plate test and the chronic phase of the formalin test. Furthermore, facilitated excitatory synaptic transmission in spinal dorsal horn neurons, a mechanism by which NmU stimulates pain, did not occur in NmUR2 KO mice. Both NmUR2 expression and NmU-23 binding sites are highly localized to the outer layers of the spinal dorsal horn, and administration of NmU via intracerebroventricular (ICV) injections usually increases pain sensitivity in rats and mice. The expression of NmUR2 in the paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVN), a major site for the release of Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), suggests an alternative role in mediating stress response. NmU and its ...

Antalarmin je lek koji deluje kao antagonist kortikotropin-oslobađajućeg hormonskog receptora 1. Kortikotropin-oslobađajući faktor (CRF), takođe poznat kao kortikotropin-oslobađajući hormon, je endogeni peptidni hormon oslobođen u responsu na razne stimuluse kao što su hronični stres i adikcija na droge. To zatim inicira oslobađanje kortikotropina (ACTH), hormona koji učestvuje u fiziološkom responsu na stres. Smatra se da hronično oslobađanje CRF i ACTH hormona direktno ili indirektno učestvuje u mnogim štetnim fiziološkim efektima hroničnog stresa, kao što su eksesivno oslobađanje glukokortikoida, dijabetes melitus, osteoporoza, čir na dvanaestopalačnom crevu, anksioznost, depresija, i razvoj visokog krvnog pritiska i konsekventni kardiovaskularni problemi.[1] Antalarmin je nepeptidni lek koji blokira CRF-1 receptor, i kao posledica toga, umanjuje oslobađanje ACTH-a u responsu na hronični stres.[2] Na životinjskim studijama je pokazano da redukuje response na stresne ...

This demonstration is achieved based on the technical merit in our transgenic mice, in which the transgene expression is inducible/reversible. The time resolution for this inducible/reversible feature is within 1 week, which is high enough for this time-coupling analysis. However, it is still not clear how this real-time coupling occurs, partially due to the fact that the functional significance of the CCKergic system is still not fully understood. As G protein-coupled receptors, CCKR are associated with Ca2+ release, PKC activation, PLA2 activity, and cAMP production [120]. As stress, either real or imaged, is a necessary inducer for ADs, the CRF/HPA system must play a unique role in anxiety-related behaviors. Indeed, a huge body of evidence has documented this notion. For example, administration of CRF [70-72] or CRFR1 agonists [69,73,74] or overexpression of the CRF gene [75-77] produces Anxiety-like behaviors (ALBs) in the animals. On the other hand, CRFR1 antagonists exert significantly ...
