  • A comparison of microwave irradiation and decapitation. Basal levels of dynorphin and enkephalin peptides and the effect of morphine treatment on dynorphin peptides
  • 1997
  • Ingår i: Neuropeptides. - 0143-4179 .- 1532-2785. ; 31:4, s. 357-365

    • Opioid peptides were analysed in tissue extracts of various brain structures and the pituitary gland from rats sacrificed by microwave irradiation, and compared with peptide levels in tissue extracts from decapitated rats. Dynorphin A, dynorphin B and Leu-enkephalinArg6, derived from prodynorphin, and Met-enkephalinArg6Phe7 from proenkephalin, were measured. Basal immunoreactive levels of dynorphin A and B were consistently higher in extracts from microwave-irradiated rats, whereas in these extracts immunoreactive levels of Leu-enkephalinArg6, an endogenous metabolite of dynorphin peptides, were either lower than, the same as or higher than in decapitated rats. Immunoreactive levels of Met-enkephalinArg6Phe7 were higher in microwave-irradiated rats. Effects of morphine treatment on prodynorphin peptide levels were evaluated and compared with previous findings in decapitated rats. Dynorphin immunoreactive levels were higher in the nucleus accumbens and striatum of morphine-tolerant rats than in corresponding areas in saline-treated rats. These results indicate tissue-specific metabolism of prodynorphin peptides and show that metabolism of opioid peptides occurs during the dissection procedure after decapitation of the rat even though precautions are taken to minimize degradation.

  • Long-term effects of short and long periods of maternal separation on brain opioid peptide levels in male Wistar rats
  • 2003
  • Ingår i: Neuropeptides. - 0143-4179 .- 1532-2785. ; 37:3, s. 149-156
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Environmental manipulations early in life may induce persistent alterations in adult behaviour and physiology. The underlying neural mechanisms of these responses are not yet clear. We have previously reported long-term changes in brain opioid peptide levels in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats after short periods (15 min, known as neonatal handling) of maternal separation (MS) until weaning. To study this further, we investigated behavioural and neurochemical effects of repeated MS in male Wistar rats. The rat pups were separated from their dams in litters for either 360 min (MS360) or 15 min (MS15) daily from postnatal day 1 to 21 or exposed to normal animal facility rearing. Behavioural analysis showed that MS360 rats had increased ultrasonic calls on postnatal day 5 compared to MS15 rats, but not on postnatal day 6. Moreover, the MS360 rats had more animals with higher frequency of calls at day 5 than 6 than the MS15 rats. Analysis of the opioid peptides dynorphin B and Met-enkephalin-Arg(6)Phe(7) with radioimmunoassay 7 weeks after the MS procedure, revealed long-term neurochemical changes in several brain areas and in the pituitary gland. Immunoreactive dynorphin B and Met-enkephalin-Arg(6)Phe(7) levels were affected in the hypothalamus and dynorphin B levels in the neurointermediate pituitary lobe, amygdala, substantia nigra and the periaqueductal gray. Together, these findings show that repeated periods of MS early in life in male Wistar rats affect the development of the ultrasonic call response and induce long-lasting and possibly permanent alterations in the opioid peptide systems.

  • Intrathecal administration of p-hydroxymercuribenzoate or phosphoramidon/bestatin-combined induces antinociceptive effects through different opioid mechanisms
  • 1998
  • Ingår i: Neuropeptides. - 0143-4179 .- 1532-2785. ; 32:5, s. 411-415
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The antinociceptive effect of intrathecally (i.t.) administered protease inhibitors was tested against capsaicin (800 ng) injected into the dorsal surface of a hindpaw. Both p-hydroxymercuribenzoate (2-8 nmol), a cysteine protease inhibitor, and phosphoramidon (1-4 nmol), an endopeptidase 24.11 inhibitor in the presence of bestatin (0.25 nmol) an aminopeptidase inhibitor, administered i.t. 60 min prior to the injection of capsaicin produced a dose-dependent reduction of the capsaicin-induced paw licking and biting response. p-Hydroxymercuribenzoate (4 nmol)-induced antinociception was significantly antagonized by nor-binaltorphimine, a selective kappa-opioid receptor antagonist, but not by naltrindole, a selective delta-opioid receptor antagonist. On the other hand, phosphoramidon (4 nmol) /bestatin-induced antinociception was significantly antagonized by naltrindole, but not by nor-binaltorphimine. The results indicate that the antinociceptive effect of p-hydroxymercuribenzoate may be due to the inhibition of a cysteine protease degrading endogenous dynorphins whereas phosphoramidon in the presence of bestatin blocks the degradation of enkephalins.

  • Distribution of neuroendocrine cells in the small and large intestines of the one-humped camel (Camelus dromedarius)
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: Neuropeptides. - : Elsevier BV. - 0143-4179 .- 1532-2785. ; 41:5, s. 293-299
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The distribution and relative frequency of neuroendocrine cells in the small and large intestines of one-humped camel were studied using antisera against 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), cholecystokinin (CCK-8), somatostatin (SOM), peptide tyrosine tyrosine (PYY), gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), gastrin releasing peptide (GRP), substance P (SP), and neurokinin A (NKA). Among these cell types, CCK-8 immunoreactive (IR) cells were uniformly distributed in the mucosa, while others showed varied distribution in the villi or crypts of the small intestine. Immunoreactive cells like 5HT, CCK-8, and SOM showed peak density in the villi and crypts of the small intestine and in the colonic glands of the large intestine, while cells containing SP were discerned predominately in the crypts. 5-HT, CCK-8 and SOM cells were mainly flask-shaped and of the open-variety, while PYY and SP immunoreactive cells were mainly rounded or basket-shaped and of the closed variety. Basically the distribution pattern of the endocrine cells in the duodenum, jejunum and colon of the one-humped camel is similar to that of other mammals. Finally, the distribution of these bioactive agents may give clues as to how these agents aid in the function of the intestinal tract of this desert animal.

  • Neuropeptide effects on rat chondrocytes and perichondrial cells in vitro
  • 2003
  • Ingår i: Neuropeptides. - : Elsevier BV. - 0143-4179 .- 1532-2785. ; 37:5, s. 316-318
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This study examines if cultured chondrocytes and perichondrial cells change the level of cAMP and/or cGMP in response to application of the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Cells collected from the knee region of 4–8 days old rat pups were cultured in vitro. Cultures were exposed to 10−10–10−6 M CGRP during 10 minutes. The levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the cultures and in controls were determined by radioimmunoassay. The results show that application of CGRP causes a distinctly increased level of cAMP, that was absent when CGRP was applied together with the CGRP1 receptor antagonist. The level of cGMP was not obviously altered. Hence, it is possible that terminals of primary sensory neurones present in developing cartilage influence chondrocytes and perichondrial cells via local release of CGRP.
