Blockade of Cholecystokinin Type 2 Receptors Prevents the Onset of Vincristine-Induced Neuropathy in Mice

Pharmaceutics, 2022
Vincristine (VCR) is responsible for the onset of the VCR-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN), associated with neuropathic pain. Several reports have strongly linked the cholecystokinin type 2 receptor (CCK2R) to nociceptive modulation.

Neuroactive steroids in depression and anxiety disorders: Clinical studies [PDF]

, 2006
Certain neuroactive steroids modulate ligand-gated ion channels via non-genomic mechanisms. Especially 3 alpha-reduced pregnane steroids are potent positive allosteric modulators of the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA(A)) receptor.

Kinetic characterization of selective peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor gamma modulators in vitro [PDF]

, 2012
Background: The ligand-activated transcription factor, peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), has been shown to play an essential role in immunosuppression during sepsis.

Expression of CCK Receptors in Carcinoma Gallbladder and Cholelithiasis: A Pilot Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2015
Background: Gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK) receptors are trophic for various gastrointestinal malignancies. Their role in gallbladder cancer has not been widely studied. Objectives: To identify expression of CCK-A and CCK-B receptors in the tissue

An opioid-like system regulating feeding behavior in C. elegans [PDF]

, 2015
Neuropeptides are essential for the regulation of appetite. Here we show that neuropeptides could regulate feeding in mutants that lack neurotransmission from the motor neurons that stimulate feeding muscles. We identified nlp-24 by an RNAi screen of 115

The peripheral cholecystokinin receptors

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1993
Cholecystokinin (CCK), one of the first discovered gastrointestinal hormones [1, 2] was originally isolated from the porcine duodenum as a 33-amino-acid peptide (CCK-33) [3–5]. The sequencing of CCK-33 in 1968 revealed that the peptide is structurally related to gastrin, another gut hormone characterized four years earlier [6]. Indeed, the two peptides

Cholecystokinin and Somatostatin Negatively Affect Growth of the Somatostatin-RIN-14B Cells

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2009
With the exclusive presence of the pancreatic CCK-2 receptors on the pancreatic delta cells of six different species, this study was undertaken to determine the role of cholecystokinin and gastrin on growth of these somatostatin (SS) cells.

Structures of the human cholecystokinin 1 (CCK1) receptor bound to Gs and Gq mimetic proteins provide insight into mechanisms of G protein selectivity.

PLoS Biology, 2021
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are critical regulators of cellular function acting via heterotrimeric G proteins as their primary transducers with individual GPCRs capable of pleiotropic coupling to multiple G proteins. Structural features governing

2'-fucosyllactose Supplementation Improves Gut-Brain Signaling and Diet-Induced Obese Phenotype and Changes the Gut Microbiota in High Fat-Fed Mice. [PDF]

, 2020
Obesity is characterized by fat accumulation, chronic inflammation and impaired satiety signaling, which may be due in part to gut microbial dysbiosis. Manipulations of the gut microbiota and its metabolites are attractive targets for obesity treatment ...
