Screening of a specific peptide binding to VPAC1 receptor from a phage display peptide library. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The VPAC1 receptor, a member of the vasoactive intestinal peptide receptors (VIPRs), is overexpressed in the most frequently occurring malignant tumors and plays a major role in the progression and angiogenesis of a number of ...

Targeting vasoactive intestinal peptide-mediated signaling enhances response to immune checkpoint therapy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Nature Communications, 2022
Poor antitumor response of pancreatic cancer to immunotherapies is a major barrier to effective disease management. Herein we show that pancreatic cancers overexpress vasoactive intestinal peptide, and pharmacological inhibition of its signaling ...

Enhanced Mortality to Metastatic Bladder Cancer Cell Line MB49 in Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide Gene Knockout Mice

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2017
To identify if the absence of the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) gene enhances susceptibility to death from metastatic bladder cancer, two strains of mice were injected with MB49 murine bladder cancer cells.

Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) in Cerebrovascular Disease

The Scientific World Journal, 2002
Cerebral blood vessels are innervated by sensory nerves that store several neurotransmitters among which calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is the most abundant. In primary headaches, there is a clear association between the head pain and the release

Connectivity and network state-dependent recruitment of long-range VIP-GABAergic neurons in the mouse hippocampus

Nature Communications, 2018
Long-range GABAergic hippocampal neurons project to cortical and subcortical areas, while vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP+) interneurons can inhibit other GABAergic neurons.

Enhancing Meat Quality Through Dietary Fiber: Insights Into the Gut Microbiota‐Derived Short‐Chain Fatty Acids‐Muscle Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of

Vasoactive intestinal peptide regulates ileal goblet cell production in mice

Physiological Reports, 2020
Innervation of the intestinal mucosa has gained more attention with demonstrations of tuft and enteroendocrine cell innervation. However, the role(s) these fibers play in maintaining the epithelial and mucus barriers are still poorly understood.
