Elevated Neuropeptide Y in Endothelial Dysfunction Promotes Macrophage Infiltration and Smooth Muscle Foam Cell Formation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Endothelial dysfunction has been linked to vascular inflammation and foam cell formation but the underlying mechanisms still remain unclear. We sought to define the factors inducing inflammation and smooth muscle foam cell formation under endothelial ...

Neuropeptide Y receptor genes are associated with alcohol dependence, alcohol withdrawal phenotypes, and cocaine dependence.

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 2008
BACKGROUND Several lines of evidence in both human and animal studies suggest that variation in neuropeptide Y (NPY) or its receptor genes (NPY1R, NPY2R and NPY5R) is associated with alcohol dependence as well as alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

Contrast Agent Clearance Dynamics and Diffusion in the Mouse Brain After Ventricular Administration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of contrast agent clearance by convective bulk flow from the ventricular spaces to the subarachnoid space on the ventral aspect of the brain, or by diffusion into the parenchyma across the pia‐glia or through the semi‐permeable ependyma. Abstract Fluid and solute exchange between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces and the central

Identifying functional populations among the interneurons in laminae I-III of the spinal dorsal horn [PDF]

, 2017
The spinal dorsal horn receives input from primary afferent axons, which terminate in a modality-specific fashion in different laminae. The incoming somatosensory information is processed through complex synaptic circuits involving excitatory and ...

Pharmacological and functional similarities of the human neuropeptide Y system in C. elegans challenges phylogenetic views on the FLP/NPR system

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2019
Background The neuropeptide Y system affects various processes, among others food intake, and is frequently discussed in the context of targeting obesity. Studies in model organisms are indispensable to enable molecular studies in a physiological context.

Amino Acid‐Sensing Neurons in the Anterior Piriform Cortex Control Brown Adipose Tissue Thermogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a class of amino acid‐sensing neurons, APCCRH neurons, which regulate BAT thermogenesis. Leucine deficiency alters intrinsic excitability through GCN2 signaling pathway, activating APCCRH neurons, which in turn regulate BAT thermogenesis via projections to the lateral hypothalamus.

Nano‐Anesthetics Regulate Neuro‐Immune Interaction for Treating Neuropathic Pain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ce‐UiO‐66‐Bupivacaine (CUB) demonstrates triple therapeutic innovation: 1) Sustained analgesia with ROS scavenging synergistically resolves neuropathic pain; 2) Microglia/astrocyte polarization switch reprograms the pro‐regenerative immune microenvironment; 3) CGRP‐TSP‐1 axis activation couples inflammation suppression to axon regeneration, defining a ...

Neuropeptide Y and Y1 Receptors in Kindling Epileptogenesis [PDF]

Epilepsy Currents, 2004
Neuropeptide Y (NPY)-mediated neurotransmission undergoes plastic changes during hippocampal or amygdaloid kindling in rats as shown by changes in peptide cellular expression and distribution, its release and receptor subtype plasticity (for review see 37, 51). Electrophysiological and pharmacological evidence in in vitro and in vivo models of seizures

Astrocytic ET‐1 System Determines Microglia Phenotype Following Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study reveals that astrocytic ET‐1 system is solely activated by thrombin following SCI via RhoA/NF‐κB and MAPKs/NF‐κB signal pathway. The release of astrocytic ET‐1 drives microglia polarization toward M1 phenotype through YAP signaling via ETA and ETB receptors.
