Effect of different forms of vasoactive intestinal peptide on cAMP formation in the mammalian cerebral cortex.

چکیده
Chicken, guinea pig and mammalian (human/porcine/rat) vasoactive intestinal peptides (VIP; 0.001-3 microM) were compared with respect to their ability to stimulate adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) formation in the cerebral cortical slices of rat and guinea pig. Of the tested peptides, i.e. chicken VIP (cVIP), guinea pig VIP (gpVIP) and human/rat/porcine (mammalian) VIP (mVIP), the strongest stimulator of cAMP synthesis was cVIP, and the weakest one - the gpVIP. Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) used as a reference drug at 0.1 microM concentration strongly stimulated cAMP formation in the cerebrum of both species, being, however, significantly more potent in the guinea pig model. The obtained data demonstrate significant differences in biological activity between cVIP and two distinct mammalian VIPs in the cerebral cortex of rat and guinea pig.

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (chicken form; chVIP), peptide histidine-isoleucine (porcine and rat forms; pPHI and rPHI), D-Phe(4) derivative of porcine PHI (D-Phe(4)-pPHI), peptide histidine-methionine (PHM; human PHI), and helodermin, were tested for their ability to stimulate cAMP production in [(3)H]adenine-prelabeled slices of chick cerebral cortex (CCx) and hypothalamus (HTh). The chVIP (...

Abstract Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide (VIP), has been found in different neurotransmitter systems and exists in various nerve tracts in the brain. Potential role of this peptide in physiological processes such as regulation of sleep and wakefulness, and biological rhythms has been confirmed in several reports. In the present research effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of a...
متن کاملReceptors for vasoactive intestinal peptide and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide in the goose cerebral cortex.
Receptors for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) in the goose cerebral cortex were characterized using two approaches: (1) in vitro radioreceptor binding of [(125)I]-VIP, and (2) effects of peptides from the VIP/PACAP/secretin family on cyclic AMP formation. The binding of [(125)I]-VIP to goose cortical membranes was rapid, stable,...

The effects of the vasoactive perivascular neuropeptides calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), neurokinin A (NKA), neuropeptide Y (NPY), and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) on proliferation of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were investigated. CGRP was shown to increase both cell number and DNA synthesis, whereas NKA, NPY, and VIP were ineffective. 125I-labele...
متن کاملEffect of Topiramate on Morphine-induced Conditioned Place Preference (CPP) in Rats: Role of ERK and CREB Proteins in Hippocampus and Cerebral Cortex
In this study, the effect of topiramate, as an antiepileptic drug, was evaluated on morphine craving in rats. The conditioned place preference (CPP) test was used for this purpose. Repeated administration of morphine (10 mg/kg, i.p. for 4 days) induced significant CPP. Administration of topiramate (50 and 100 mg/kg, i.p. for 4 days) with each morphine administration decreased the acquisition of...
