Neuropeptides as regulators of bone metabolism: from molecular mechanisms to traditional Chinese medicine intervention strategies

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Osteoporosis (OP) is a complex bone metabolism disorder disease that affects the skeleton, nervous system, muscles, and multiple tissues. Neuropeptides, which are endogenous substances derived from both bone and brain, play a critical role in maintaining

Cell-Free Expression and Photo-Crosslinking of the Human Neuropeptide Y2 Receptor

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a large family of different proteins, which are involved in physiological processes throughout the entire body. Furthermore, they represent important drug targets. For rational drug design, it is important to

Augmented Cystine–Glutamate Exchange by Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-activating Polypeptide Signaling via the VPAC1 Receptor [PDF]

, 2014
In the central nervous system, cystine import in exchange for glutamate through system xc- is critical for the production of the antioxidant glutathione by astrocytes, as well as the maintenance of extracellular glutamate. Therefore, regulation of system

Y1 and Y5 receptors are both required for the regulation of food intake and energy homeostasis in mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) acting in the hypothalamus is one of the most powerful orexigenic agents known. Of the five known Y receptors, hypothalamic Y1 and Y5 have been most strongly implicated in mediating hyperphagic effects.

Recent advances in vasoactive intestinal peptide physiology and pathophysiology: focus on the gastrointestinal system. [PDF]

, 2019
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a gut peptide hormone originally reported as a vasodilator in 1970, has multiple physiological and pathological effects on development, growth, and the control of neuronal, epithelial, and endocrine cell functions ...

Actin cytoskeleton-dependent regulation of corticotropin-releasing factor receptor heteromers [PDF]

, 2017
Stress responses are highly nuanced and variable, but how this diversity is achieved by modulating receptor function is largely unknown. Corticotropin-releasing factor receptors (CRFRs), class B G protein–coupled receptors, are pivotal in mediating ...

TrkB signaling is required for postnatal survival of CNS neurons and protects hippocampal and motor neurons from axotomy-induced cell death [PDF]

, 1997
Newborn mice carrying targeted mutations in genes encoding neurotrophins or their signaling Trk receptors display severe neuronal deficits in the peripheral nervous system but not in the CNS. In this study, we show that trkB (¿/¿) mice have a significant

Human neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor antisense oligodeoxynucleotide specifically inhibits neuropeptide Y-evoked vasoconstriction

European Journal of Pharmacology, 1993
This paper describes a new approach for the development of an inhibitor of the contractile responses of neuropeptide Y in human blood vessels by the use of an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide complementary to human neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor mRNA. One micromolar of an antisense 18-base oligodeoxynucleotide (hY1-AS), corresponding to the human Y1 receptor
