Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and its Y2 receptors (Y2R) play an important role in regulating growth of various tumors and are highly expressed in human neuroblastoma brain tumors. Cell lines derived from neuroblastoma brain tumors provide a good model to study the consequences of NPY activation of Y2R in tu...

The gut-brain axis facilitates two-way communication between gut inflammation and psychiatric comorbidities associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this study, we examined the neuroprotective effects of the neuropeptide substance P (SP) on colitis. Taking into account the interaction...

Neuropeptides constitute a vast and functionally diverse family of neurochemical signaling molecules, and are widely involved in the regulation of various physiological processes. The nematode C. elegans is well-suited for the study of neuropeptide biochemistry and function, as neuropeptide biosynth...

The decrease of pH level in the water affects animals living in aquatic habitat, such as crustaceans. The molecular mechanisms enabling these animals to survive this environmental stress remain unknown. To understand the modulatory function of neuropeptides in crustaceans when encountering drops in ...

The purpose of this study was to identify downstream gene targets regulated by Neuropeptide S Receptor 1 (NPSR1) upon NPS stimulation. To do this we used human epithelial kidney (HEK)-293H cell lines stable transfected with NPSR1-A and stimulated with NPS for 6 hours. Two controls were used: NPS sti...

The coordination of protein homeostasis from the brain to periphery is essential for the health and survival of all animals. In C. elegans, glia serve a central role in coordinating organismal protein homeostasis and longevity via the unfolded protein response of the endoplasmic reticulum (UPRER). H...

The impact of numerous diseases has been linked to differences in sex between organisms, including various neurological diseases. As neuropeptides are known to be key players in the nervous system, studying the variation of neuropeptidomic profiles between males and females in a crustacean model org...

Neural communication requires both fast-acting neurotransmitters and neuromodulators that function on slower timescales to communicate. Endogenous bioactive peptides, often called “neuropeptides,” comprise the largest and most diverse class of neuromodulators that mediate crosstalk between the brain...

Activity-dependent changes in synapses rely on functional changes in resident proteins and on gene expression. We addressed the relationship between synapse activity and the expression of synaptic genes by comparing RNA levels in the neocortex of normal mice versus synaptically silent munc18-1 null ...

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) functions in higher organisims in development, metabolism and toxic responses. Its Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) ortholog, AHR-1, facilitates neuronal development, growth and movement. We investigated the effect of AHR mutation on the transcriptional profile...
