MG53 Coordinates Macrophage Polarization and Neuroimmune Coupling to Promote Corneal Nerve Regeneration via the MPEG1–MVP–STAT6 Axis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Corneal nerve regeneration is critical to corneal wound healing processes. The current study reveals a novel role of MG53 in promoting corneal nerve regeneration after alkali induced injury. Mechanistically, MG53 enters macrophages via its receptor, MPEG1, promotes MVP K63 ubiquitination, and triggers STAT6 induced repair‐related genes expression ...

mGluR5 in ECCCK to BLA Circuit Modulates Depressive‐Like Phenotypes through CCK Signaling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Dysregulation of mGluR5 and CCK signaling contributes to major depressive disorder, yet circuit‐level mechanisms remain unclear. Here, the ECCCK→BLA pathway is identified as a critical regulator of affective behavior. mGluR5 modulates synaptic function and CCK signaling within this circuit, controlling stress susceptibility and depressive‐like states ...

The neuropeptide concept

open access: yesMaturitas, 1984
In 1960/61 it was found that the release of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) in response to emotional, but not to somatic or systemic stress, was diminished in rats in which the vasopressin storage organ, the posterior intermediate lobe of the rat pituitary, had been surgically removed [1,2].

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide : effects on insulin release in isolated mouse islets in relation to metabolic status and age

open access: yes, 2006
Obesity and development of the metabolic syndrome is related to an increased parasympathetic tone and hyperinsulinemia. We have now studied the effects of age and metabolic status on glucose-induced insulin release stimulated by the neuropeptides ...

Boosting Sensory Nerve‐to‐Bone Interactions Enhances Hedgehog Mediated Calvarial Bone Repair

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Boosting sensory nerve activity via TrkA agonism strongly accelerates calvarial bone repair in adult mice. Furthermore, single‐cell RNA sequencing and neuron–bone interactome analyses identify these sensory neurons as a direct neural source of Hedgehog pathway ligands. Consequently, these ligands drive osteoblast differentiation of skeletal progenitors,

Neuropeptides Phylogeny and Evolution

open access: yes, 2009
Neuropeptides constitute a huge class of signaling molecules in the nervous system of many groups of animals. The phylogenetic relationships of neuropeptides have been difficult to determine across distantly related phyla because of their short amino ...

Lesion Site‐Targeted Microspheres Modulate Nav1.7‐Related Signaling for Osteoarthritis Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cartilage‐targeted carbamazepine‐loaded WYRGRL‐modified composite microspheres (CBZ/WCOM) anchor to exposed type II collagen in osteoarthritic lesions and release carbamazepine under acidic conditions. This bind‐then‐release platform modulates Nav1.7‐related sodium signaling, Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchanger‐associated Ca2+ dynamics, and heat shock protein 70 ...

EFFECT OF FMRFAMIDE-LIKE PEPTIDES ON THE PHARYNGEAL MUSCLE OF NEMATODES

open access: yesРоссийский паразитологический журнал, 2016
FMRFamide-like peptides play an important physiological role in the enteric nervous system of nematodes.This is confirmed by immunocytochemical data on the presence and localization of neuropeptides in the pharynx of parasitic nematode Ascaris suum ...

Neuronal transcriptome analyses reveal novel neuropeptide modulators of excitation and inhibition imbalance in C. elegans.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Neuropeptides are secreted molecules that have conserved roles modulating many processes, including mood, reproduction, and feeding. Dysregulation of neuropeptide signaling is also implicated in neurological disorders such as epilepsy.
