Cholecystokinin type B receptor-mediated inhibition of A-type K+ channels enhances sensory neuronal excitability through the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and c-Src-dependent JNK pathway

open access: yesCell Communication and Signaling, 2019
Background Cholecystokinin (CCK) is implicated in the regulation of nociceptive sensitivity of primary afferent neurons. Nevertheless, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms remain unknown.

Low serum gastrin associated with ER+ breast cancer development via inactivation of CCKBR/ERK/P65 signaling

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2018
Background Gastrin is an important gastrointestinal hormone produced primarily by G-cells in the antrum of the stomach. It normally regulates gastric acid secretion and is implicated in a number of human disease states, but how its function affects ...

Goldfish phoenixin: (I) structural characterization, tissue distribution, and novel function as a feedforward signal for feeding-induced food intake in fish model

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology
Phoenixin (PNX) is a novel peptide with diverse functions mediated by the orphan receptor GPR173. It also plays a role in appetite control, but the effect is not consistent across species and the mechanisms involved are still unclear. Using goldfish as a

Control of physiologic glucose homeostasis via hypothalamic modulation of gluconeogenic substrate availability

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism
Objectives: The brain mobilizes glucose in emergency situations such as hypoglycemia as well as during day-to-day physiology such as fasting. While most hypothalamic neuronal populations that contribute to glucose mobilization also contribute to other ...

Establishment of a mouse model for injury-induced scar formation and the accompanying chronic pain: Comprehensive microarray analysis of molecular expressions in fibrosis and hyperalgesia

open access: yesMolecular Pain, 2019
Background Surgery is often accompanied by scar formation, which results in a pathological state called fibrosis. Fibrosis is characterized by the excess deposition of extracellular matrix molecules in the connective tissue, leading to tissue contracture

Cholecystokinin facilitates motor skill learning by modulating neuroplasticity in the motor cortex

open access: yeseLife
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is an essential modulator for neuroplasticity in sensory and emotional domains. Here, we investigated the role of CCK in motor learning using a single pellet reaching task in mice.

Intestinal Gastrin/CCKBR Axis Protects against Type 2 Diabetes by Reducing Intestinal Glucose Absorption through the PI3K/Akt/eIF4B Signaling Pathway

open access: yesAdvanced Science
The Gastrin/CCKBR axis is essential for inhibiting intestinal sodium absorption, but its effects on intestinal glucose metabolism remain elusive. This study aims to determine the role of intestinal Gastrin/CCKBR on glucose absorption in the development ...
