Exploring neurokinin-1 receptor antagonism for depression with structurally differentiated inhibitors [PDF]
The neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R) has been investigated as a potential target for major depressive disorder owing to its role in stress regulation and neuroinflammation.

Regulation of Aldosterone Secretion by Substance P and the Neurokinin Type 1 Receptor in Aldosterone‐Producing Adenomas [PDF]
Background Aldosterone‐producing adenoma (APA) is a major cause of primary aldosteronism, the most frequent form of secondary hypertension. Although somatic mutations in ion channels within APA have been shown to activate Ca2+ signaling and drive ...

Comparative Ion Channel Transcriptomes of NK1R and Somatostatin Neurons in the PreBötzinger Complex of the Ventrolateral Medulla [PDF]
Abstract The preBötzinger Complex is among the few neural circuits where selective elimination of defined neuronal subpopulation is sufficient to destabilize a core autonomic function and can fatally impair breathing. Within this circuitry, neurons expressing the neurokinin-1 receptor ( Tacr1/NK1R

NaV1.7 mRNA and Protein Expression in Resident Neurons of the Human Spinal Dorsal Horn [PDF]
We identified Nav1.7 mRNA and protein in human spinal cord neurons, a subset of which co‐expressed putative projection neuron markers, TACR1 and GPR83. These neurons relay nociceptive signals from the periphery to the brain. While Nav1.7 loss‐of‐function mutations cause congenital insensitivity to pain, traditionally linked to sensory neurons, our ...

Neuro-immune-epithelial pathways involving substance P may contribute to mucosal pathology in gastro-oesophageal reflux disease [PDF]
IntroductionSubstance P (SP) is contained in nerve fibres innervating the oesophageal mucosa and is released into the mucosa during oesophageal acid perfusion. However, the downstream effects of this peripheral SP are not known.

Human Substance P Interactions with G Protein-Coupled Receptor NK1R Observed by NMR in Solution [PDF]
Neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) is a class A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that interacts with the endogenous undecapeptide agonist Substance P (SP) to activate its role in key physiological processes such as nausea, inflammation, and neurological disorders.

Evaluation of Serum Substance P Level and Tissue Distribution of NK-1 Receptor in Papillary Thyroid Cancer [PDF]
Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most prevalent malignancy of the endocrine system. This study was aimed at evaluating the serum substance P (SP) levels, the tissue distribution of Neurokinin-1 receptors (NK1-R), and their possible ...

Die Rolle des NK1R unter dem Einfluss von Fluid Flow Shear Stress in murinen Osteozyten [PDF]
In Chondrozyten und auch in Tenozyten zeigte sich, dass der NK1R als zentraler Mechanorezeptor fungiert und unter anderem auch wesentlich die endogene Produktion von SP und die Zellproliferation beeinflussen kann.

Background Chronic inflammation is a hallmark of cancer, and it can be stimulated by many factors. Substance P (SP), through binding to neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R), and pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) play critical roles in cancer development and progression ...
