Development by Genetic Immunization of Monovalent Antibodies Against Human Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide Receptor 1 (VPAC1), New Innovative, and Versatile Tools to Study VPAC1 Receptor Function

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Multi-membrane spanning proteins, such as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and ion channels, are extremely difficult to purify as native proteins. Consequently, the generation of antibodies that recognize the native conformation can be challenging. By

Interaction of a bovine thymic peptide extract with vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors

Bioscience Reports, 1986
Bovine t hymic peptide extract (1–100 μg/ml) is shown to completely inhibit the binding of [125I]VIP to rat blood mononuclear cells, lymphoid cells of spleen, and liver plasma membranes. In the three models, the bovine thymic peptide extract inhibits [125I]VIP binding with a potency that is 4000–7000 times lower than that of the native VIP, on a weight

The last‐step integrator thesis: Heterarchical control of the mammalian gastrointestinal tract

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Heterarchy of control of the gastrointestinal tract. The production mechanisms (i.e. epithelial cells and muscles) are shown at the bottom in green. Above them are some of the many mechanisms that provide control inputs to these production mechanisms.

Maternal protein restriction programs the ageing kidney: Proteomic signatures of early‐life origin renal and metabolic dysfunction

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Maternal protein restriction (MPR) induced persistent renal histopathological alterations accompanied by elevated serum creatinine levels. Nephron‐segment proteomic analysis revealed region‐specific molecular dysregulation affecting Bowman's capsule (PARK7, oxidative stress sensor; MSN, cytoskeletal organization), the proximal ...

The Anti-Inflammatory Mediator, Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide, Modulates the Differentiation and Function of Th Subsets in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Journal of Immunology Research, 2018
Genetic background, epigenetic modifications, and environmental factors trigger autoimmune response in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Several pathogenic infections have been related to the onset of RA and may cause an inadequate immunological tolerance ...

Vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor-based imaging and treatment of tumors

International Journal of Oncology, 2014
Vasoactive intestinal peptide receptors (VIPRs) are members of the G-protein-coupled receptor superfamily. These receptors are overexpressed in many common malignant tumors and play a major role in the progression and angiogenesis of a number of malignancies.

Renin‐Angiotensin Signaling and Vascular Function: Insights into Health and Disease

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) is an essential regulator of vascular structure and function, and dysregulation of angiotensin II (Ang II) signaling plays a critical role in the development of hypertension and associated vascular complications.

Inhibition of IGFBP4 in Granulosa Cells Improves Reproductive Performance and Maintains Fertility With Age via YAP Signaling

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 56, 9 October 2026.
IGFBP4 is upregulated in granulosa cells of aged ovaries across monkeys, mice, and humans. It inhibits YAP signaling, thereby suppressing cell proliferation and contributing to follicular dysfunction. Deletion of Igfbp4 in granulosa cells enhances ovulatory output, improves hormone profiles, and reproductive performance in aged female mice, suggesting ...

Cancer and Hypertension: Shared Mechanisms, Treatment Interactions, and Clinical Management

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cancer and hypertension (HTN) frequently coexist, and their relationship is increasingly recognized as a clinically relevant intersection between oncology and cardiovascular medicine. However, the extent to which this association reflects shared risk factors, common biological mechanisms, or treatment‐related effects remains incompletely ...

Beyond the Heart‐Lung Axis: A Review of the Crosstalk Between the Hemodynamic, Neurohormonal, and Immune Systems in Pulmonary Hypertension

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 5, October 2026.
Pulmonary hypertension is driven by dynamic crosstalk beyond the physical connection between the heart and lung, involving neurohormonal systems, immune pathways, and peripheral organs. This review highlights how multisystem signaling contributes to disease progression and may reveal new diagnostic and therapeutic targets.
