Somatostatin and somatostatin receptors in retinal diseases.
Somatostatin is a small neuropeptide that is produced in the central nervous system, where it acts as a neurotransmitter. This neuropeptide also has an important role in the neuroendocrine system as an inhibitor of hormone release, the most striking example of which is the inhibition of growth hormone release. The role of somatostatin in eye disease recently became of interest because of its ro...
متن کاملSomatostatin Decorated Quantum Dots Nanoparticles for Targeting of Somatostatin Receptors
Due to the unique optical properties like high brightness and narrow emission bands of Quantum dots, it is used as simple fluorescence materials in bio-imaging, immunoassays, microarrays, and other applications. To easy invistigate cell lines that overexpressed somtostatin receptors, somatostatin (SST) was conjugated with Quantum dots carrying PEG amine (Qdots-PEG-NH2). The conjugation of SST t...

متن کامل2. Somatostatin and dopamine receptors
The discovery of the new properties of SSRs and DRs has led to a renewed interest in agents targeting these receptors and has opened new perspectives for medical treatment of patients with pituitary and neuroendocrine tumors resistant to the “classical”, currently available analogs. Moreover, SSRs and DRs crosstalk at membrane level may trigger alternative intracellular pathways or enhance the ...
متن کاملExpression of somatostatin, cortistatin, and somatostatin receptors in human monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells.
Increasing evidence suggests that neuropeptides play a role in the regulatory mechanisms between the neuroendocrine and immune systems. A differential expression of the five known somatostatin (SS) receptors (sst1-5) has been demonstrated in human immune cells and tissues. However, little is known concerning regulation and expression of sst1-5 and the peptide SS. Therefore, we investigated the ...
