Expression of substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide, β-endorphin and methionine-enkephalin in human dental pulp tissue after orthodontic intrusion: a pilot study. [PDF]
Angle Orthod, 2014 OBJECTIVE To determine the levels of two sensory neuropeptides (substance P [SP] and calcitonin gene-related peptide [CGRP]) and two endogenous opioids (methionine-enkephalin [Met-Enk] and β-endorphin [β-End]) in dental pulp tissue samples subjected to ...

Methionine enkephalin (MENK) improved the functions of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) loaded with antigen. [PDF]
Hum Vaccin Immunother, 2012 The aim of this investigation is to look at whether MENK could improve antitumor effect of CD8+T cell elicited by BMDCs. We investigated the effects of MENK on the differentiation, maturation, and functions of murine BMDC loaded with Rac-1 antigens (RG ...

Comparison of stimulating effect on subpopulations of lymphocytes in human peripheral blood by methionine enkephalin with IL-2 and IFN-γ. [PDF]
Hum Vaccin Immunother, 2012 The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of mechanisms of methionine enkephalin (MENK) on lymphocytes in human peripheral blood. We detected CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells, CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Treg), dendritic cells (DCs), natural killer ...

Methionine-Enkephalin in Bone and Joint Tissues [PDF]
Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 1998 Abstract Methionine-enkephalin (met-enk), an endogenous opiate, mimics many of the effects of morphine by binding to opiate receptors, thereby eliciting similar cellular and behavioral effects. Using biochemical and immunohistochemical techniques, several peptides have been identified in bone and joint tissues.

Methionine‐enkephalin secreted by human colorectal cancer cells suppresses T lymphocytes [PDF]
Cancer Science, 2009 The role of methionine‐enkephalin (MENK) as an immunomodulator in colorectal carcinomas (CRC) was examined. MENK was produced in CT26, IEC6A, Colo320, and HT29 CRC cell lines but not in IEC6 intestinal cells.
