Renal sensory receptor activation by calcitonin gene-related peptide.
In anesthetized rats we examined whether calcitonin gene-related peptide activated renal pelvic sensory receptors and, if so, whether activation of renal pelvic calcitonin gene-related peptide receptors contributes to the inhibitory renorenal reflex response to renal mechanoreceptor stimulation. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (0.0026, 0.026, 0.26, and 2.6 mumol/L) administered into the renal p...
متن کاملDifferential activation of formyl peptide receptor signaling by peptide ligands.
Formyl peptide receptor (FPR) and formyl peptide receptor like 1 (FPRL1) play important roles in inflammation and immunity. Stimulation of FPR and FPRL1 initiates a cascade of signaling events, leading to activation of various phagocyte responses, including chemotaxis, superoxide generation, and exocytosis. Trp-Lys-Tyr-Met-Val-d-Met-NH2 (WKYMVm) is a synthetic peptide that binds to and activate...
متن کاملCalcitonin receptor-mediated CFTR activation in human intestinal epithelial cells
High levels of calcitonin (CT) observed in medullary thyroid carcinoma and other CT-secreting tumours cause severe diarrhoea. Previous studies have suggested that CT induces active chloride secretion. However, the involvement of CT receptor (CTR) and the molecular mechanisms underlying the modulation of intestinal electrolyte secreting intestinal epithelial cells have not been investigated. The...
متن کاملRepression of the calcitonin gene-related peptide promoter by 5-HT1 receptor activation.
We have investigated the control of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) expression by a serotonergic agonist that is related pharmacologically to currently used antimigraine drugs. During migraines, CGRP levels are elevated but then returned to normal by a 5-HT1 receptor agonist, sumatriptan. However, neither the molecular nor cellular targets of this drug are known. Trigeminal neurons are t...
متن کاملFamily NK Receptor Ligands Ras Activation Induces Expression of Raet1
NK cells play a crucial role in innate immunity against tumors. In many human tumors, Ras is chronically active, and tumor cells frequently express ligands for the activating NK cell receptor NKG2D. In this study, we report that Ras activation upregulates the expression of Raet1 protein family members Rae1a and Rae1b in mouse and ULBP1–3 in human cells. In addition, Ras also induced MHC class I...
