Megjegyzések:Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is expressed at very early stages in the vertebrate nervous system, and its functions in the embryonic development have been shown by various studies. PACAP is an extremely conserved molecule in phylogeny; however, little is known about its presence and functions in invertebrates. Our previous studies have shown the occurrence of PACAP-like immunoreactivity in the invertebrate nervous system. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence and localization of PACAP-like compounds during the embryonic development of earthworms from cocoon deposition to hatching using immunological methods (radioimmunoassay, dot blot, immunohistochemistry). PACAP-like immunoreactive compounds were detected at very early stages of the embryonic development of the earthworm Eisenia fetida. No significant changes were observed during the early stages in the developing embryo, but a marked increase occurred before hatching. In contrast, during the embryonic development, the level of PACAP-like compounds gradually decreased in cocoon fluids. Immunohistochemistry revealed the presence of PACAP-like immunoreactive cell bodies and processes in the developing body wall, prostomium, pharyngeal wall, and central nervous system. Cells located in the body wall correspond to putative progenitor cells of primary sensory cells. In the present study, we also showed that the clitellum (reproductive organ) of sexually mature worms contained significantly higher levels of PACAP-like immunoreactivity than other regions of the same animals or the clitellar region of a non-reproducing animal. In summary, these observations provide a morphological basis and suggest a role of PACAP(-like peptides) in the reproductive and developmental functions of invertebrates.

Megjegyzések:Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a pleiotropic and multifunctional neuropeptide widely distributed throughout the body. It is involved in the regulation of various physiological and pathophysiological processes, such as reproduction, thermoregulation, motor activity, brain development, neuronal survival, inflammation and pain. Since little is known about its distribution in humans, our aim was to examine PACAP-38 in human plasma. Furthermore, based on the presence of vasoactive intestinal peptide, structurally the closest to PACAP, in milk and PACAP and its receptors in the mammary gland, our aim was to study PACAP-38 in human milk.Design and methods: The presence of PACAP-38 was determined by mass spectrometry in plasma samples from healthy male and female volunteers (age: 20-40), as well as in plasma and milk samples from lactating women (age: 20-35). PACAP concentration was measured with a specific and sensitive RIA. Results: Our results revealed that PACAP-38 is present in human plasma, its concentration is relatively stable in healthy volunteers and it is not significantly altered by gender, age, food intake or hormonal cycle in females. However, PACAP-38 plasma levels significantly increased in lactating women having 1-6 month-old babies. Moreover, this study is the first which provides evidence for the presence of PACAP-38 in the human milk with levels 5-20-fold greater in the milk whey than in the respective plasma samples. Conclusions: We found PACAP-38 in human plasma and its increase during the first 6 months of the lactation period. A prominent, nearly 10-fold higher concentration of this peptide was detected in human milk. Based on the literature, several important actions of milk-derived PACAP-38 can be suggested such as mammary gland proliferation, nutrient transfer as well as regulation of growth/differentiation of certain tissues of the neonates. The novelty of the present descriptive data provides a basis for further investigations on the mechanism of PACAP-38 secretion in human milk and its functional significance.

Cím:Presence of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) in the plasma and milk of ruminant animals / Czeglédi Levente, Tamás Andrea, Borzsei Rita, Bagoly Teréz, Kiss Péter, Horváth Gabriella, Brubel Réka, Németh József, Szalontai Bálint, Szabadfi Krisztina, Jávor András, Reglódi Dóra, Helyes Zsuzsanna

Megjegyzések:Milk contains a variety of proteins and peptides that possess biological activity. Growth factors, such as growth hormone, insulin-like, epidermal and nerve growth factors are important milk components which may regulate growth and differentiation in various neonatal tissues and also those of the mammary gland itself. We have recently shown that pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), an important neuropeptide with neurotrophic actions, is present in the human milk in much higher concentration than in the plasma of lactating women. Investigation of growth factors in the milk of domestic animals is of utmost importance for their nutritional values and agricultural significance. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the presence and concentration of PACAP in the plasma and milk of three ruminant animal species. Furthermore, the presence of PACAP and its specific PAC1 receptor were investigated in the mammary glands. Radioimmunoassay measurements revealed that PACAP was present in the plasma and the milk of the sheep, goat and the cow in a similar concentration to that measured previously in humans. PACAP38-like immunoreactivity (PACAP38-LI) was 5-20-fold higher in the milk than in the plasma samples of the respective animals, a similar serum/milk ratio was found in all the three species. The levels did not show significant changes within the examined 3-month-period of lactation after delivery. Similar PACAP38-LI was measured in the homogenates of the sheep mammary gland samples taken 7 and 30 days after delivery. PAC1 receptor expression was detected in these udder biopsies by fluorescent immunohistochemistry suggesting that this peptide might have an effect on the mammary glands themselves. These data show that PACAP is present in the milk of various ruminant domestic animal species at high concentrations, the physiological implications of which awaits further investigation.

Cím:The presence and distribution of pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide and its receptor in the snail helix pomatia / L. Hernádi, Z. Pirger, T. Kiss, J. Németh, L. Mark, P. Kiss, A. Tamas, A. Lubics, G. Toth, S. Shioda, D. Reglodi

Megjegyzések:The aim of this study was to show the presence, distribution and function of the pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) and its receptors in the CNS and peripheral nervous system of the mollusk, Helix pomatia. PACAP-like and pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide receptor (PAC1-R)-like immunoreactivity was abundant both in the CNS and the peripheral nervous system of the snail. In addition several non-neuronal cells also revealed PACAP-like immunoreactivity. In inactive animals labeled cell bodies were mainly found and in the neuropile of active animals dense immunostained fiber system was additionally detected suggesting that expression of PACAP-like peptide was affected by the behavioral state of the animal. RIA measurements revealed the existence of both forms of PACAP in the CNS where the 27 amino acid form was found to be dominant. The concentration of PACAP27 was significantly higher in samples from active animals supporting the data obtained by immunohistochemistry. In Western blot experiments PACAP27 and PACAP38 antibodies specifically labeled protein band at 4.5 kDa both in rat and snail brain homogenates, and additionally an 14 kDa band in snail. The 4.5 kDa protein corresponds to PACAP38 and the 14 kDa protein corresponds to the preproPACAP or to a PACAP-like peptide having larger molecular weight than mammalian PACAP38. In matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight (MALDI TOF) measurements fragments of PACAP38 were identified in brain samples suggesting the presence of a large molecular weight peptide in the snail. Applying antibodies developed against the PACAP receptor PAC1-R, immunopositive stained neurons and a dense network of fibers were identified in each of the ganglia. In electrophysiological experiments, extracellular application of PACAP27 and PACAP38 transiently depolarized or increased postsynaptic activity of neurons expressing PAC1-R. In several neurons PACAP elicited a long lasting hyperpolarization which was eliminated after 1.5 h continuous washing. Taken together, these results indicate that PACAP may have significant role in a wide range of basic physiological functions in snail.

Cím:Mice deficient in pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide display increased sensitivity to renal oxidative stress in vitro / Gabriella Horvath, Laszlo Mark, Reka Brubel, Peter Szakaly, Boglarka Racz, Peter Kiss, Andrea Tamas, Zsuzsanna Helyes, Andrea Lubics, Hitoshi Hashimoto, Akemichi Baba, Norihito Shintani, Gergely Furjes, Jozsef Nemeth, Dora Reglodi

Megjegyzések:Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a multifunctional neuropeptide, showingwidespread occurrence in the nervous system and also in peripheral organs. The neuroprotective effectsof PACAP are well-established in different neuronal systems against noxious stimuli in vitro and in vivo.Recently, its general cytoprotective actions have been recognized, including renoprotective effects. However,the effect of endogenous PACAP in the kidneys is not known. The main aim of the present studywas to investigate whether the lack of this endogenous neuropeptide influences survival of kidney cellsagainst oxidative stress. First, we determined the presence of endogenous PACAP from mouse kidneyhomogenates by mass spectrometry and PACAP-like immunoreactivity by radioimmunoassay. Second,primary cultures were isolated from wild type and PACAP deficient mice and cell viability was assessedfollowing oxidative stress induced by 0.5, 1.5 and 3mM H2O2. Our mass spectrometry and radioimmunoassayresults show that PACAP is endogenously present in the kidney. The main part of our studyrevealed that the sensitivity of cells from PACAP deficient mice was increased to oxidative stress: bothafter 2 or 4 h of exposure, cell viability was significantly reduced compared to that from control wild typemice. This increased sensitivity of kidneys from PACAP deficient mice could be counteracted by exogenouslygiven PACAP38. These results show, for the first time, that endogenous PACAP protects againstoxidative stress in the kidney, and that PACAP may act as a stress sensor in renal cells. These findingsfurther support the general cytoprotective nature of this neuropeptide.

Cím:PACAP has anti-apoptotic effect in the salivary gland of an invertebrate species, helix pomatia / Zsolt Pirger, Jozsef Nemeth, Laszlo Hiripi, Gabor Toth, Peter Kiss, Andrea Lubics, Andrea Tamas, Laszlo Hernadi, Tibor Kiss, Dora Reglodi
Dátum:2008
Megjegyzések:Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) shows a remarkable sequence similarity among species and several studies provide evidence that the functions of PACAP have also been conserved among vertebrate species. Relatively little is known about its presence and functions in invertebrates. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the well-known anti-apoptotic effect of PACAP can also be demonstrated in invertebrates. This effect was studied in the salivary gland of a molluscan species, Helix pomatia. In this work, we first showed the presence of PACAP-like immunoreactivity in the Helix salivary gland by means of immunohistochemistry. Radioimmunoassay measurements showed that PACAP38-like immunoreactivity dominated in the salivary gland of both active and inactive snails and its concentration was higher in active than in inactive animals in contrast to PACAP27-like immunoreactivity, which did not show activity-dependent changes. PACAP induced a significant elevation of cAMP level in salivary gland extracts. Application of apoptosis-inducing agents, dopamine and colchicine, led to a marked increase in the number of terminal uridine deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)-positive apoptotic cells in the salivary gland, which was significantly attenuated by PACAP treatment. In a similar manner, the number of caspase-positive cells was reduced after co-application of dopamine and PACAP. Taken together, the data indicate that PACAP activates cAMP in a molluscan species and we show, for the first time, that PACAP is anti-apoptotic in the invertebrate Helix pomatia.

Cím:Agonistic behavior of PACAP6-38 on sensory nerve terminals and cytotrophoblast cells / D. Reglodi, R. Borzsei, T. Bagoly, A. Boronkai, B. Racz, A. Tamas, P. Kiss, G. Horvath, R. Brubel, J. Nemeth, G. Toth, Z. Helyes
Dátum:2008
Megjegyzések:The effects of pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) are mediated through Gprotein-coupled receptors, the specific PAC1 receptor and VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors which bind vasoactive intestinal peptide with similar affinity. Based on binding affinity studies, PACAP6-38 was discovered as a potent antagonist of PAC1 and it has been used by hundreds of studies as a PACAP antagonist. Recently, we have found that in certain cells/tissues, PACAP6-38 does not antagonize PACAP-induced effects, but surprisingly, it exerts similar actions to PACAP1-38, behaving as an agonist. In the present study, we report on the agonistic behavior of PACAP6-38 on neuropeptide release from sensory nerves of the isolated rat trachea and on the MAPK signaling pathways in cytotrophoblast cells. In isolated rat tracheae, PACAP6-38, similarly to PACAP1-38, induced significant inhibitory effects on the release of three simultaneously measured sensory neuropeptides, substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide, and somatostatin evoked by both chemical excitation and electrical field stimulation of capsaicin-sensitive afferents. Effects of PACAP6-38 were the same as those of PACAP1-38 on MAPK signaling in human cytotrophoblast cells. Western blot analysis showed that both peptide forms stimulated ERK1/2 and JNK phosphorylation, while they both inhibited p38 MAPK phosphorylation. The most pronounced effects were observed when both peptides were present. In summary, our results show that PACAP6-38, which is a PACAP receptor antagonist in most cells/tissues, can behave as an agonist in other systems. The increasing interest in the effects of PACAP requires further studies on the pharmacological properties of the peptide and its analogues.

Cím:Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-activating Polypeptide-like Compounds Could Modulate the Activity of Coelomocytes in the Earthworm / Ildiko Somogyi, Akos Boros, Peter Engelmann, Eszter Varhalmi, Jozsef Nemeth, Andrea Lubics, Andrea Tamas, Peter Kiss, Dora Reglodi, Edit Pollak, Laszlo Molnar
Dátum:2009
Megjegyzések:By means of radioimmunoassay, we studied the concentration of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP)-like proteins in intact and regenerating earthworms. Transection of animals increased the concentration of PACAP-like compounds in coelomocytes, and a decreasing rostrocaudal gradient was detected in the regenerating animals. Western blot analysis revealed a range of PAC1-receptor proteins with molecular weights from 40 to 80 kDa. Electron microscopic immunocytochemistry showed that PAC1 receptors were located on distinct sets of coelomocytes (mainly on amebocytes and on some granulocytes). Based on our results we hypothesize a link between PACAP and coelomocytes, suggesting that PACAP modulates the function of amebocytes and certain granulocytes that play a role in tissue remodeling of regenerating earthworms.

Cím:Expression of PACAP-Like compounds during the caudal regeneration of the earthworm eisenia fetida / Eszter Varhalmi, Ildiko Somogyi, Gabor Kiszler, Jozsef Nemeth, Dora Reglodi, Andrea Lubics, Peter Kiss, Andrea Tamas, Edit Pollak, Laszlo Molnar
Dátum:2008
Megjegyzések:The regeneration of the ventral nerve cord ganglion and peripheral tissues was investigated by radioimmunoassay and immunohistochemistry in the model animal, Eisenia fetida (Annelida, Oligochaeta). It is now well-established that pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a neurotrophic factor, playing important roles in the development of the nervous system in vertebrate animals. Based on the apparent evolutionary conservation of PACAP and on the several common mechanisms of vertebrate and invertebrate nervous regeneration, the question was raised whether PACAP has any role in the regeneration of the earthworm nervous system. As a first step, we studied the distribution, concentration, and time-course of PACAP-like immunoreactivity during caudal regeneration of both lost segments and the ventral nerve cord ganglia in E. fetida. A strong upregulation of PACAP-like immunoreactivity was observed in most tissues following injury as determined by radioimmunoassay and immunohistochemistry. Significant increases in the concentration of PACAP-like compounds were found in the body wall, alimentary canal, and in coelomocytes. The most characteristic morphological feature was the accumulation of immunolabeled neoblasts in the injured tissues, especially in the ventral nerve cord ganglion that initiates and mediates regeneration processes. Our present results show that PACAP/PACAP-like peptides accumulate in the regenerating tissues of the earthworm, suggesting trophic functions of these compounds in earthworm tissues similarly to vertebrate species.
