Calcitonin receptor-like receptor is expressed on gastrointestinal immune cells.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Pharmacological and morphological studies suggest that the gut mucosal immune system and local neuropeptide-containing neurones interact. We aimed to determine whether gut immune cells are targets for calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which has potent immune regulatory properties. METHODS Using density gradient centrifugation, rat lamina propria mononuclear cells (LP-MNC...
متن کاملLymphatic deletion of calcitonin receptor-like receptor exacerbates intestinal inflammation.
Lymphatics play a critical role in maintaining gastrointestinal homeostasis and in the absorption of dietary lipids, yet their roles in intestinal inflammation remain elusive. Given the increasing prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease, we investigated whether lymphatic vessels contribute to, or may be causative of, disease progression. We generated a mouse model with temporal and spatial del...
متن کاملCalcitonin receptor-like receptor guides arterial differentiation in zebrafish.
The calcitonin receptor-like receptor (crlr) is a major endothelial cell receptor for adrenomedullin, a peptide vasodilator involved in cardiovascular development, homeostasis, and disease. Here, we used the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model to characterize the role of crlr in vascular development. Crlr is expressed within somites from the 4- to the 13-somite stage and by arterial progenitors and a...
متن کاملSpecificity of porcine calcitonin receptor and calcitonin receptor-like receptor in the presence of receptor-activity-modifying proteins.
Adrenomedullin (AM), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), amylin (AMY) and calcitonin (CT) are members of the CGRP/CT superfamily of peptides. Among them, AM and CGRP are reported to share a core receptor, the calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR), and the specificity of the CRLR is determined by the expression levels of receptor-activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs). In the case of AMY, co...
متن کاملCalcitonin gene-related peptide-evoked sustained tachycardia in calcitonin receptor-like receptor transgenic mice is mediated by sympathetic activity.
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and adrenomedullin (AM) are potent vasodilators and exert positive chronotropic and inotropic effects on the heart. Receptors for CGRP and AM are calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR)/receptor-activity-modifying protein (RAMP) 1 and CLR/RAMP2 heterodimers, respectively. The present study was designed to delineate distinct cardiovascular effects of CGRP a...
