Circadian clock disruption in neurodegenerative diseases: cause and effect? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Disturbance of the circadian system, manifested as disrupted daily rhythms of physiologic parameters such as sleep, activity, and hormone secretion, has long been observed as a symptom of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer Disease ...

Caveolae-dependent internalization and homologous desensitization of VIP/PACAP receptor, VPAC2, in gastrointestinal smooth muscle [PDF]

open access: yesPeptides, 2013
Abstract The main membrane proteins of caveolae (caveolin-1, -2 and -3) oligomerize within lipid rich domains to form regular invaginations of smooth muscle plasma membrane and participate in receptor internalization and desensitization independent of clathrin-coated vesicle endocytosis. We have previously shown that G s -coupled VIP/PACAP receptors,

GABAergic signalling in the suprachiasmatic nucleus is required for coherent circadian rhythmicity

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 60, Issue 11, Page 6652-6667, December 2024.
Genetic disruption of GABAergic synaptic transmission by deletion of the vesicular GABA transporter within the suprachiasmatic nucleus of adult mice results in the eventual deterioration of physiological and behavioural rhythmicity in vivo and concomitant neuronal desynchrony in vitro.

High expression of peptide receptors as a novel target in gastrointestinal stromal tumours [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Recent significant advances in understanding the biology of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) have led to the introduction of a new targeted therapy (imatinib mesylate, Glivec).

Targeting the PAC1 receptor mitigates degradation of myelin and synaptic markers and diminishes locomotor deficits in the cuprizone demyelination model

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, Volume 168, Issue 9, Page 3250-3267, September 2024.
Pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating polypeptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) are neuroprotective peptides. Their beneficial activities occur via three G protein‐coupled receptors, PAC1, VPAC1 and VPAC2. We found that PAC1 receptor activation contributes to most of the beneficial activities of the neuropeptides in an experimental ...

An Overview of VPAC Receptors in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Biological Role and Clinical Significance

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
The axis comprised by the Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) and its G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), VPAC1, and VPAC2, belong to the B1 family and signal through Gs or Gq proteins.

Investigation of the Possible Functions of PACAP in Human Trophoblast Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is an endogenous neuropeptide having a widespread distribution both in the nervous system and peripheral organs including the female reproductive system.
