b-Endorphin Expression in the Mouse Retina
Evidence showing expression of endogenous opioids in the mammalian retina is sparse. In the present study we examined a transgenic mouse line expressing an obligate dimerized form of Discosoma red fluorescent protein (DsRed) under the control of the pro-opiomelanocortin promoter and distal upstream regulatory elements to assess whether pro-opiomelanocortin peptide (POMC), and its opioid cleavag...
متن کاملTRPM3 Expression in Mouse Retina
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels constitute a large family of cation permeable ion channels that serve crucial functions in sensory systems by transducing environmental changes into cellular voltage and calcium signals. Within the retina, two closely related members of the melastatin TRP family, TRPM1 and TRPM3, are highly expressed. TRPM1 has been shown to be required for the depola...
متن کاملβ-endorphin neuron transplantation
We summarize here our new discovery that the endogenous opioid peptide β-endorphin (BEP), by virtue of reducing body stress and maintaining active immune system, as well as, balancing the levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, destroys tumor cells and stops them from being transformed into metastatic cancer cells.
متن کاملP 373 adenoviral mediated β-galactosidase (lacZ) reporter gene expression in the mouse retina
Pupose:In order to develop a treatment for recessive retinitis pigmentosa the ultimate objective is to introduce a normal copy of the abnormal gene into photoreceptors. The post-mitotic status of photoreceptor cells make them unsuitable targets for existing retroviral vectors. One of the strategies that we have been exploiting is adenoviral (AV) mediated gene transfer. Here we report successful...
