چکیده

CART peptides are peptide neurotransmitters and hormones that are involved in many different physiological responses. While much is known about the peptides regarding their structure, processing and gene regulation, less is known about their postsynaptic actions and receptors. Using (125)I-CART 61-102 as a ligand and unlabeled CART 61-102 or CART 55-102 as displacers, high-affinity specific binding was detected in PC12 cells. Differentiation of the PC12 cells increased specific binding several-fold. The increase in specific binding found after differentiation was inhibited by actinomycin D and cycloheximide, suggesting that the increase in specific binding was dependent on RNA and protein synthesis. CART 1-27, a peptide that has never been shown to elicit responses, did not displace (125)I-CART 61-102 binding, nor did more than 20 other peptides that were examined. Surprisingly, however, PACAP 1-38 and PACAP 6-38 were found to be low-affinity inhibitors of CART binding. CART treatment increased binding of (35)S-GTPgamma-S to PC12 cell membranes. Moreover, CART treatment of intact PC12 cells elicited robust increases in phospho-ERK in a manner that was increased with differentiation, blocked by pertussis toxin and antagonized by PACAP 6-38. These findings extend previous research and suggest that the CART binding site in PC12 cells reflects a G protein-coupled receptor linked with Gi/o, and also demonstrate that PACAP 6-38 may be useful as a CART receptor antagonist.

Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) peptide activates the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway in AtT20 cells via putative G-protein coupled receptors.

CART peptides are important neurotransmitters, but little is known about their receptors or signaling pathways in cells. In this study we describe the effects of CART 55-102 on the stimulation of extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) in a pituitary-derived cell line. CART 55-102 treatment resulted in markedly enhanced ERK phosphorylation in AtT20 and GH3 cells, but had no significant effect...

15-Deoxy-Δ12,14-Prostaglandin J2 Protects PC12 cells from LPS-Induced Cell Death Through Nrf2 pathway in PPAR-γ Dependent Manner

Introduction: The inflammatory response requires a coordinated integration of various signaling pathway including cyclooxygenase (COX). COX catalyzes the formation of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid. Among prostaglandins, 15-Deoxy-D12, 14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2), an endogenous ligand of Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ), has been demonstrated to have anti-inflam...

Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide receptors regulate the growth of non-small cell lung cancer cells.

We have identified pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP) receptors on small cell lung cancer cell line NCI-N417 in a previous study. In this study, the role of PACAP in the growth and signal transduction of non-small cell lung cancer cells was investigated. Northern blot analysis with a full-length human PACAP receptor cDNA probe revealed a major 7.5-kb hybridizing transcript w...

Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript peptide modulation of voltage-gated Ca2+ signaling in hippocampal neurons.

Administration of cocaine and amphetamine increases cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) expression in the rat striatum (Douglass et al., 1995). CART mRNA is highly expressed in different parts of the human and rat brain, including hippocampus (Douglass et al., 1995; Couceyro et al., 1997; Kuhar and Yoho, 1999; Hurd and Fagergren, 2000). The presence of CART peptide 55-102 immun...

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide is a potent inhibitor of the growth of light chain-secreting human multiple myeloma cells.

Multiple myeloma represents a malignant proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow, which often overproduces immunoglobulin light chains. We have shown previously that pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) markedly suppresses the release of proinflammatory cytokines from light chain-stimulated human renal proximal tubule epithelial cells and prevents the resulting tub...
