Clinical proteomics allows the detection of various proteins in fluids such as the urine, plasma, and cerebrospinal fluid for the diagnosis of AD. Interest in lipidomics has accelerated with plasma testing for various lipid biomarkers that may with clinical proteomics provide a more reproducible diagnosis for early brain aging that is connected to other chronic diseases. The combination of proteomics with lipidomics may decrease the biological variability between studies and provide reproducible results that detect a community’s susceptibility to AD.

Research Article A human ovarian small cell carcinoma line (BIN-67) expresses abundant calcitonin (CT) receptors (CTR) (143,000 per cell) that are coupled, to adenylate cyclase. The dissociation constants (Kd) for the CTRs on these BIN-67 cells is approximately 0.42 nM for salmon CT and approximately 4.6 nM for human CT. To clone a human CTR (hCTR), a BIN-67 cDNA library was screened using a cDNA probe from a porcine renal CTR (pCTR) that we recently cloned. One positive clone of 3,588 bp was identified. Transfection of this cDNA into COS cells resulted in expression of receptors with high affinity for salmon CT (Kd = approximately 0.44 nM) and for human CT (Kd = approximately 5.4 nM). The expressed hCTR was coupled to adenylate cyclase. Northern analysis with the hCTR cDNA probe indicated a single transcript of approximately 4.2 kb. The cloned cDNA encodes a putative peptide of 490 amino acids with seven potential transmembrane domains. The amino acid sequence of the hCTR is 73% identical to the pCTR, although the hCTR contains an insert of 16 amino acids between transmembrane domain I and II. The structural differences may account for observed differences in binding affinity between the porcine renal and human ovarian CTRs. The CTRs are closely related to the receptors for parathyroid hormone-parathyroid hormone-related peptide and secretin; these receptors comprise a […] Find the latest version: https://jci.me/116046/pdf Cloning, Characterization, and Expression of a Human Calcitonin Receptor from an Ovarian Carcinoma Cell Line Alan H.

  • Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Stimulates Luteinizing Hormone- Releasing Hormone Secretion in a Rodent Hypothalamic Neuronal Cell Line
    Glucagon-like peptide-1 stimulates luteinizing hormone- releasing hormone secretion in a rodent hypothalamic neuronal cell line. S A Beak, … , S R Bloom, D M Smith J Clin Invest. 1998;101(6):1334-1341. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI610. Research Article To examine the influence of the putative satiety factor (GLP-1) on the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis, we used GT1-7 cells as a model of neuronal luteinizing hormone- releasing hormone (LHRH) release. GLP-1 caused a concentration- dependent increase in LHRH release from GT1-7 cells. Specific, saturable GLP-1 binding sites were demonstrated on these cells. The binding of [125I]GLP-1 was time-dependent and consistent with a single binding site (Kd = 0.07+/-0.016 nM; binding capacity = 160+/-11 fmol/mg protein). The specific GLP-1 receptor agonists, exendin-3 and exendin-4, also showed high affinity (Ki = 0.3+/-0.05 and 0.32+/-0.06 nM, respectively) as did the antagonist exendin-(9-39) (Ki = 0.98+/- 0.24 nM). At concentrations that increased LHRH release, GLP-1 (0.5-10 nM) also caused an increase in intracellular cAMP in GT1-7 cells (10 nM GLP-1: 7.66+/-0.4 vs. control: 0.23+/-0.02 nmol/mg protein; P < 0.001). Intracerebroventricular injection of GLP-1 at a single concentration (10 microg) produced a prompt increase in the plasma luteinizing hormone concentration in male rats (GLP-1: 1.09+/-0.11 vs. saline: 0.69+/-0.06 ng/ml; P < 0.005). GLP-1 levels in the hypothalami of 48-h-fasted male rats showed a decrease, indicating a possible association of the satiety factor with the low luteinizing hormone levels in animals with a negative energy balance.

Here, we review the literature in rodents and in humans on amylin research since its discovery as a hormone about 25 years ago. Amylin is a 37-amino-acid peptide that activates its specific receptors, which are multisubunit G protein-coupled receptors resulting from the coexpression of a core receptor protein with receptor activity-modifying proteins, resulting in multiple receptor subtypes. Amylin’s major role is as a glucoregulatory hormone, and it is an important regulator of energy metabolism in health and disease. Other amylin actions have also been reported, such as on the cardiovascular system or on bone. Amylin acts principally in the circumventricular organs of the central nervous system and functionally interacts with other metabolically active hormones such as cholecystokinin, leptin, and estradiol. The amylin-based peptide, pramlintide, is used clinically to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Clinical studies in obesity have shown that amylin agonists could also be useful for weight loss, especially in combination with other agents.

  • Inhibition of Gastrin Release by Secretin Is Mediated by Somatostatin in Cultured Rat Antral Mucosa
    Inhibition of gastrin release by secretin is mediated by somatostatin in cultured rat antral mucosa. M M Wolfe, … , G M Reel, J E McGuigan J Clin Invest. 1983;72(5):1586-1593. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI111117. Research Article Somatostatin-containing cells have been shown to be in close anatomic proximity to gastrin-producing cells in rat antral mucosa. The present studies were directed to examine the effect of secretin on carbachol-stimulated gastrin release and to assess the potential role of somatostatin in mediating this effect. Rat antral mucosa was cultured at 37 degrees C in Krebs-Henseleit buffer, pH 7.4, gassed with 95% O2-5% CO2. After 1 h the culture medium was decanted and mucosal gastrin and somatostatin were extracted. Carbachol (2.5 X 10(-6) M) in the culture medium increased gastrin level in the medium from 14.1 +/- 2.5 to 26.9 +/- 3.0 ng/mg tissue protein (P less than 0.02), and decreased somatostatin-like immunoreactivity in the medium from 1.91 +/- 0.28 to 0.62 +/- 0.12 ng/mg (P less than 0.01) and extracted mucosal somatostatin-like immunoreactivity from 2.60 +/- 0.30 to 1.52 +/- 0.16 ng/mg (P less than 0.001). Rat antral mucosa was then cultured in the presence of secretin to determine its effect on carbachol-stimulated gastrin release. Inclusion of secretin (10(-9)-10(-7) M) inhibited significantly carbachol-stimulated gastrin release into the medium, decreasing gastrin from 26.9 +/- 3.0 to 13.6 +/- 3.2 ng/mg (10(-9) M secretin) (P less than 0.05), to 11.9 +/- 1.7 ng/mg (10(-8) secretin) (P less than 0.02), and to 10.8 +/- 4.0 ng/mg (10(-7) M secretin) (P less than […] Find the latest version: https://jci.me/111117/pdf Inhibition of Gastrin Release by Secretin Is Mediated by Somatostatin in Cultured Rat Antral Mucosa M.
