Cell-Free Expression and Photo-Crosslinking of the Human Neuropeptide Y2 Receptor

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a large family of different proteins, which are involved in physiological processes throughout the entire body. Furthermore, they represent important drug targets. For rational drug design, it is important to

μ‐Opioid Receptor Dynamics in the Parameningeal Tissue During Migraine Attacks

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The possible impact of meningeal μ‐opioid receptor (μOR) binding in migraine remains unknown. This study investigated μOR availability in the cranial parameninges involved in migraine initiation via nociceptor activation. Methods We used positron emission tomography with [11C] carfentanil, and measured μOR availability in meninges and ...

Neuropeptide Y and Y1 Receptors in Kindling Epileptogenesis [PDF]

open access: yesEpilepsy Currents, 2004
Neuropeptide Y (NPY)-mediated neurotransmission undergoes plastic changes during hippocampal or amygdaloid kindling in rats as shown by changes in peptide cellular expression and distribution, its release and receptor subtype plasticity (for review see 37, 51). Electrophysiological and pharmacological evidence in in vitro and in vivo models of seizures

Chicken neuropeptide Y-family receptor Y4: a receptor with equal affinity for pancreatic polypeptide, neuropeptide Y and peptide YY [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Molecular Endocrinology, 2002
Within the neuropeptide Y (NPY) family of peptides, pancreatic polypeptide is the most divergent across species. It differs in 20 of 36 positions between human and chicken. In mammals, it binds primarily to the Y4 receptor, to which NPY and peptide YY (PYY) bind with lower affinities.

Targeted Proteomics upon Treatment with Tofersen Identifies Novel Response Markers for Superoxide Dismutase 1‐Linked Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Tofersen is the first effective and approved therapy for superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1)‐associated amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS [SOD1‐ALS]). Following treatment with tofersen, neurofilament levels in patients' cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum seem to respond earlier than clinical parameters.

Y1 and Y5 receptors are both required for the regulation of food intake and energy homeostasis in mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) acting in the hypothalamus is one of the most powerful orexigenic agents known. Of the five known Y receptors, hypothalamic Y1 and Y5 have been most strongly implicated in mediating hyperphagic effects.

Targeting Neuropeptide Receptors for Cancer Imaging and Therapy: Perspectives with Bombesin, Neurotensin, and Neuropeptide-Y Receptors [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Nuclear Medicine, 2014
Receptors for some regulatory peptides are highly expressed in tumors. Selective radiolabeled peptides can bind with high affinity and specificity to these receptors and exhibit favorable pharmacologic and pharmacokinetic properties, making them suitable agents for imaging or targeted therapy.

Regulatory Role of FGL‐1 in Interorgan Communication by Controlling T Cell Homeostasis During the Onset of Sjögren Disease

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Autoimmunity occurs due to the tactics between pathogenic and regulatory factors in systemic organs. Although interorgan communication has been demonstrated in various diseases, the effects of the crosstalk between the immune system and other organs on autoimmune disease is unknown.

The Role of Neuropeptide Y in Cardiovascular Health and Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an abundant sympathetic co-transmitter, widely found in the central and peripheral nervous systems and with diverse roles in multiple physiological processes.

Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
This review introduces the skeletal interoceptive circuitry, covering the ascending signals from bone tissues to the brain (sensors), the central neural circuits that integrate this information and dispatch commands (CPU), and the descending pathways that regulate bone homeostasis (effectors).
