Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT A variety of polybasic compounds and neuropeptides release histamine from rat serosal mast cells. In the present study, the effect of somatostatin on different mast cells was examined in detail. In this way, it was hoped to elucidate further the mechanisms involved in the activation of mast cells by polyamines and neuropeptides and the possible importance of the latter effect in allergy and inflammation. Somatostatin was shown to be an effective histamine liberator from rat peritoneal mast cells. The process was non-cytotoxic and resembled that evoked by other polybasic agents such as compound 48/80 and substance P in being extremely rapid, independent of extracellular calcium ions and unaffected by added phospholipids. The release was not inhibited by antagonists of the dextran receptor and was independent of cell-fixed antibody. However, secretion was selectively blocked by antagonists of the purported polyamine receptor, benzylammonium chloride (BAC) and benzyl dimethyltetradecyl ammonium chloride (BDTA), and by the C-terminal octapeptide fragment of substance P SP4.n. Cross- desensitisation was observed between somatostatin and other polyamines but not between the neuropeptide and immunologic stimuli. The effect of somatostatin was species and tissue specific. Rat pleural mast cells responded in similar fashion to those from the peritoneum while the latter cells from the hamster and mouse were considerably less reactive. Tissue mast cells of the rat showed graded responsivity while such cells from the guinea pig, the pig and the human were essentially unreactive. Where studied, the relative responsiveness of different mast cells was mirrored by fluorescence binding studies. Varying concentrations of somatostatin did not strikingly modulate immunologic or pharmacologic histamine release from human basophils or murine mast cells. The precise conditions required for BDTA to act as a selective antagonist of polyamine- induced release were established and detailed studies showed the antagonism to be surmountable. The release induced by somatostatin and other polyamines was inhibited by treatment of the cells with neuraminidase and by pertussis toxin, suggesting that sialic acid may be involved in the binding of such agonists to the cell membrane and that a G-protein(s) may be involved in the transduction mechanism.

Since the introduction of chlorpromazine in 1952, strategies aimed at modifying the activity of dopamine receptors have played a major role for the treatment of schizophrenia. The introduction of atypical antipsychotics with clozapine broadened the range of potential targets for the treatment of this psychiatric disease, as they also modify the activity of the serotoninergic receptors. Interestingly, all marketed drugs for schizophrenia bind to the orthosteric binding pocket of the receptor as competitive antagonists or partial agonists.

After injury or infection, astrocytes become reactive and they respond by " astrocytes producing a variety of inflammatory mediators that help maintain brain homeostasis.

Although " energy homeostasis melanocortin efficacy was shown in systemic models of inflammatory disease, mechanisms involved in their effects have not yet been fully elucidated. Central anti-inflammatory effects of melanocortins and their mechanisms are even less well known, and, in particular, the effects of melanocortins in glial cells are poorly understood. Of the five known melanocortin receptors (MCRs), only subtype 4 is present in astrocytes.

It is due to this remodelling that the survivability is 10% at 10 years post-infarction. In this study we explored the possible cardioprotective effects of melanocortin receptor activation in an initial search for a treatment for cardiac remodelling. ELISA tests were used to study the signalling cascade of melanocortin receptor activation and qPCRs were used to study gene expression changes. Using an established rat cardiomyocyte cell line and primary mouse cardiomyocytes it was established that activation of all melanocortin receptors results in a cardioprotective response through the downregulation of pro-hypertrophic genes. We were also able to determine through independent activation of the receptors for melanocortins that the receptors for melanocortin 1 and 5 were the ones responsible for the cardioprotective response, with melanocortin receptor 5 activation providing the strongest cardioprotective effect.

In the melanocortin pathway, the fed state is signaled by abundance of f leptin circulating hormones such as leptin and insulin, which bind to receptors expressed at f hypothalamus the surface of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons to promote processing of POMC to f MC4R the mature hormone α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). The α-MSH released f AgRP by POMC neurons then signals to decrease energy intake by binding to melanocortin-4 f appetite receptor (MC4R) expressed by MC4R neurons to the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). Conversely, in the ‘starved state’ activity of agouti-related neuropeptide (AgRP) and of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-expressing neurons is increased by decreased levels of circulating leptin and insulin and by the orexigenic hormone ghrelin to promote food intake. This initial understanding of the melanocortin pathway has recently been implemented by the description of the complex neuronal circuit that controls the activity of POMC, AgRP/NPY and MC4R neurons and downstream signaling by these neurons.

  • Peptides Involved in Appetite Modulation
    Peptides Involved in Appetite Modulation Sonia A Tucci , Lynsay Kobelis and Tim C Kirkham University of Liverpool, Eleanor Rathbone Building, Bedford Street South, Liverpool, L69 7ZA, UK Sonia Tucci is a Lecturer in Behavioral Neuroscience and Tim Kirkham is a Professor of Biopsychology, both at the University of Liverpool. Their research interests currently center on the pharmacological analysis of the controls of appetite and ingestive behavior, and particularly the role of central endocannabinoids in the regulation of appetite. Lynsay Kobelis is conducting doctoral research into opioid-cannabinoid interactions in feeding.

Bornscheuer * Biocatalysis has undergone revolutionary progress in the past century. Benefited by the integration of multidisciplinary technologies, natural enzymatic reactions are constantly being explored. Protein engineering gives birth to robust biocatalysts that are widely used in industrial production. These research achievements have gradually constructed a network containing natural enzymatic synthesis pathways and artificially designed enzymatic cascades. Nowadays, the development of artificial intelligence, automation, and ultra-high-throughput technology provides infinite possibilities for the Received 19th December 2020 discovery of novel enzymes, enzymatic mechanisms and enzymatic cascades, and gradually comple- DOI: 10.1039/d0cs01575j ments the lack of remaining key steps in the pathway design of enzymatic total synthesis.
