Project description:Introduction: The interaction between the nervous and immune systems is crucial for maintaining homeostasis and can influence disease progression in inflammatory skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD). Sensory neurons in the skin can secrete neuropeptides that modulate immune cell activity, including Langerhans cells (LCs), the primary antigen-presenting cells in the epidermis. This study investigates the effects of neuropeptides on the differentiation of monocyte-derived LCs (moLCs), specifically the neuropeptides with the most profound effect, i.e. atrial- and B-type natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP, respectively).

Project description:Two natriuretic peptides, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) act through the common receptor, guanylyl cyclase-A (GC-A) to lower blood pressure, induce diuresis/natriuresis and dilate blood vessels. Recently, we discovered that the excessive cardiac hypertrophy accompanied with cardiac dysfunction was induced in the lactating natriuretic peptide receptor 1 (Npr1, which encodes GC-A)-deficient mice. To clarify the cause of lactation-induced cardic hypertrophy in Npr1-/-, we performed the gene expressions analysis using nulliparous (NP) or postpartum lactating wild-type (Npr1+/+) and Npr1-/- mice. Numerous genes were altered in the postpartum lactating period both in Npr1+/+ and Npr1-/-. Additionally, the involvement of inflammatory responce in the cardiac hypertrophy in lactating-Npr1-/- mice was clarified bythe gene ontology analysis.

Project description:Natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPR-A) is the principal receptor for the natriuretic peptides ANP and BNP. Targeted deletion of NPR-A in mouse glomerular podocytes significantly enhances renal injury in vivo in the DOCA-salt experimental model. It was therefore hypothesized that natriuretic peptides exert a direct protective effect on glomerular barrier integrity through activation of NPR-A and modulation of gene expression patterns in podocytes. RNA-seq analysis revealed a total of 158 DEGs with 81 downregulated DEGs and 77 upregulated DEGs in Npr1 deficient podocytes. Among the downregulated genes were protein S and semaphorin 3G, which are known to have a protective effect in podocytes. Protein S was also expressed in and secreted from isolated human glomeruli. GO enrichment analysis revealed that the upregulated DEGs in NPR-A deficient podocytes were associated with cell migration and motility. In line, BNP significantly decreased podocyte outgrowth from cultured glomeruli.

Project description:The novel neuroproteasome is localized to the neuronal plasma membrane to degrade intracellular proteins into peptides that are released to the extracellular space. Selective inhibition of this neuronal membrane proteasome (NMP) complex ceased the release of peptides and rapidly attenuated neuronal transmission. Based on these findings, we hypothesize that these neuron-specific peptides mediate a novel form of communication through unique peptide-receptor interactions to promote intracellular signaling cascades relevant to neuronal development and function. Our work indicates that NMP peptides can rapidly induce N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-dependent calcium influx from dendrites to the soma, leading to rapid and sustained phosphorylation of the well-defined activity-dependent transcription factor cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB). We also determined that the gene expression program drastically changes upon NMP peptide treatment of neurons with an increase in expression of immediate early genes (e.g., Fos, Npas4, Egr4) known to have critical neuroregulatory roles. These data support our current thinking that NMP peptides are endogenous and selective activators of synaptic NMDA receptors and are critical for promoting activity-dependent gene expression. This pathway is orthogonal to the classic neurotransmitters previously described to activate NMDARs and points to NMP and its resulting peptides as key contributors to the development and function of the nervous system. However, the unique peptide sequences leading to neuronal activation are still poorly understood. Here, we show that the NMP peptides have tremendous sequence diversity through an unbiased peptidomic approach, and the current ongoing effort is to identify unique active peptide sequences with distinct receptor specificity. Elucidating the mechanism of the NMP and its active peptide products is crucial to understanding the role of this novel signaling process in the nervous system.

Project description:In plants, structural and physiological evidence has suggested the presence of biologically active natriuretic peptides (PNPs). PNPs are secreted into the apoplast, are systemically mobile and elicit a range of responses signaling via cGMP. The PNP-dependent responses include tissue specific modifications of cation transport and changes in stomatal conductance and the photosynthetic rate. PNP also has a critical role in host defense responses. Surprisingly, PNP-homologues are also produced by several plant pathogens during host colonization suppressing host defense responses. Here we show that a synthetic peptide representing the biologically active fragment of the Arabidopsis thaliana PNP (AtPNP-A) induces the production of reactive oxygen species in suspension-cultured A. thaliana (Col-0) cells.

Project description:B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), and (Cys-18)-atrial natriuretic factor (4-23) amide (C-ANF), are cytoprotective under conditions of ischemia-reperfusion, limiting infarct size. ATP-sensitive K(+) channel (KATP) opening is also cardioprotective, and although the KATP activation is implicated in the regulation of cardiac natriuretic peptide release, no studies have directly examined the effects of natriuretic peptides on cardiac KATP activity. Normoxic cardiomyocytes were patch clamped in the cell-attached configuration to examine sarcolemmal KATP (sKATP) activity. The KATP opener pinacidil (200 μM) increased the open probability of the patch (NPo; values normalized to control) at least twofold above basal value, and this effect was abolished by HMR1098 10 μM, a selective KATP blocker (5.23 ± 1.20 versus 0.89 ± 0.18; P < 0.001). We then examined the effects of BNP, CNP, C-ANF and 8Br-cGMP on the sKATP current. Bath application of BNP (≥10 nM) or CNP (≥0.01 nM) suppressed basal NPo (BNP: 1.00 versus 0.56 ± 0.09 at 10 nM, P < 0.001; CNP: 1.0 versus 0.45 ± 0.16, at 0.01 nM, P < 0.05) and also abolished the pinacidil-activated current at concentrations ≥10 nM. C-ANF (≥10 nM) enhanced KATP activity (1.00 versus 3.85 ± 1.13, at 100 nM, P < 0.05). The cGMP analog 8Br-cGMP 10 nM dampened the pinacidil-activated current (2.92 ± 0.60 versus 1.53 ± 0.32; P < 0.05). Natriuretic peptides modulate sKATP current in ventricular cardiomyocytes. This may be at least partially associated with their ability to augment intracellular cGMP concentrations via NPR-A/B, or their ability to bind NPR-C with high affinity. Although the mechanism of modulation requires elucidation, these preliminary data give new insights into the relationship between natriuretic peptide signaling and sKATP in the myocardium.
