Hypothalamic POMC neurons promote cannabinoid-induced feeding [PDF]
Hypothalamic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons promote satiety. Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) is critical for the central regulation of food intake. Here we test whether CB1R-controlled feeding in sated mice is paralleled by decreased activity of POMC neurons.

POMC Neurons: From Birth to Death [PDF]
The hypothalamus is an evolutionarily conserved brain structure that regulates an organism's basic functions, such as homeostasis and reproduction. Several hypothalamic nuclei and neuronal circuits have been the focus of many studies seeking to understand their role in regulating these basic functions. Within the hypothalamic neuronal populations, the

ABSTRACT: We evidenced in vitro proopiomelanocortin (POMC) mRNA‐transcription in human dermal fibroblasts using Northern blot hybridization. Modulation of POMC gene expression by cytokines (transforming growth factor‐β, TGF‐β, and tumor necrosis factor‐α, TNF‐α) was investigated by incubating human normal fibroblasts with 1 and 10 ng/ml cytokines ...

Implications of Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) Mutations in Humans: The POMC Deficiency Syndrome
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2000The recent discovery of the contribution of proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptides to the regulation of energy homeostasis and exocrine gland secretion in mice aroused new interest in the complex function of the endocrine POMC network. In addition, the first mutations in the gene encoding POMC have been identified in two patients affected by ...

POMC: The Physiological Power of Hormone Processing [PDF]
Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is the archetypal polypeptide precursor of hormones and neuropeptides. In this review, we examine the variability in the individual peptides produced in different tissues and the impact of the simultaneous presence of their precursors or fragments.

Cladistic analysis of anuran POMC sequences
Peptides, 2002Procedures for performing cladistic analyses can provide powerful tools for understanding the evolution of neuropeptide and polypeptide hormone coding genes. These analyses can be done on either amino acid data sets or nucleotide data sets and can utilize several different algorithms that are dependent on distinct sets of operating assumptions and ...

Evaluating the radiation of the POMC gene in teleosts: characterization of American eel POMC
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2003A distinctive feature of the pituitary hormone precursor, proopiomelanocortin (POMC), is the presence of multiple melanocortin core sequences (HFRW), and one copy of the opioid, beta-endorphin. In the older lineages of ray-finned fish (i.e., orders Acipenseriformes and Semionotiformes), certain extant lobe-finned fish (Australian lungfish and African ...

PDK-1/FoxO1 pathway in POMC neurons regulatesPomcexpression and food intake
American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2010Both insulin and leptin signaling converge on phosphatidylinositol 3-OH kinase [PI( 3 )K]/3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK-1)/protein kinase B (PKB, also known as Akt) in proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons. Forkhead box-containing protein-O1 (FoxO1) is inactivated in a PI( 3 )K-dependent manner.
