چکیده
Orexins A and B are hypothalamic peptides which are derived from the proteolytic cleavage of prepro-orexin and act via two subtypes of receptors, named OX1-R (that almost exclusively binds orexin-A) and OX2-R (nonselective for both orexins). Several lines of evidence show that other neuropeptides, which like orexins are involved in the central control of energy homeostasis (e.g. leptin and ghrelin), may play a role in the regulation of bone metabolism, acting via autocrine-paracrine or endocrine routes. Therefore, we studied by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) the expression of the orexin system in rat calvarial osteoblast-like (ROB) cells, whose osteoblastic lineage was immunocytochemically demonstrated by their osteonectin and collagen-1alpha content at day 14 of culture. Conventional PCR detected the mRNA expression of OX1-R, but not OX2-R and prepro-orexin in ROB cells at days 2, 7 and 21 of culture. Semiquantitative real time-PCR evidenced a gradual down-regulation of OX1-R mRNA in relation to the duration of culture. This novel finding suggests that rat osteoblasts could be a target for circulating orexin-A, especially during their early stages of differentiation into mature osteoblasts.

Orexin B inhibits proliferation and stimulates specialized function of cultured rat calvarial osteoblast-like cells.
Orexin-A (OXA) and orexin-B (OXB) are polypeptides derived from the same 130 amino acid long precursor (prepro-orexin) that bind and activate two closely related orphan G protein-coupled receptors OX1-R and OX2-R. These hypothalamic neuropeptides stimulate food intake and energy expenditure and play a significant role in sleep-wakefulness regulation. Present studies aimed to investigate the eff...
متن کاملNeuromedin U directly stimulates growth of cultured rat calvarial osteoblast-like cells acting via the NMU receptor 2 isoform.
The neuromedin U (NMU) system is composed of NMU, neuromedin S (NMS) and their receptors NMUR1 and NMUR2. This system is involved in the regulation of energy homeostasis, neuroendocrine functions, immune response, circadian rhythm and spermatogenesis. The present study aimed to investigate the possible role of the NMU system in regulating functions of cultured rat calvarial osteoblast-like (ROB...

BACKGROUND: Stem cells have great effects in clinical cell-based therapy. Accordingly, controlling the behavior and directing the fate of stem cells cultured in the laboratory is an important issue. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate osteogenic properties of adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) which differentiated toward osteogenic linage by osteoblast-imprinted substr...
متن کاملNeuropeptide B (NPB) and neuropeptide W (NPW) system in cultured rat calvarial osteoblast-like (ROB) cells: NPW and NPB inhibit proliferative activity of ROB cells.
Neuropeptides B (NPB) and W (NPW) have been identified as endogenous ligands of two G-protein-coupled receptors, neuropeptides B/W receptor 1 (NPBWR1, formerly known as GPR7) and neuropeptides B/W receptor 2 (NPBWR2, formerly known as GPR8). In rodents where NPBWR2 is absent, its counterpart is named the similar to neuropeptides B/W receptor 2 (similar to NPBWR2, formerly GPR8-like). Both NPB a...
متن کاملThe Involvement of Intra-Hippocampal Dopamine Receptors in the Conditioned Place Preference Induced By Orexin Administration into the Rat Ventral Tegmental Area
The activity of dopamine (DA)-containing neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a key mechanism in mesolimbic reward processing that has modulatory effects on different diencephalic structures like hippocampus (HIP), and receives inhibitory feedback and excitatory feed forward control. In addition, within the hippocampus, DA receptors are mostly located in the dorsal part (CA1) and dopa...
