Substance P: a pioneer amongst neuropeptides.
A brief overview of recent developments in the substance P field is provided, in addition to a historical introduction. It is emphasized that there are multiple tachykinins and tachykinin receptors and that there are examples of coexistence of several tachykinin peptides and of several tachykinin receptors in single cells, and there is evidence for tachykininergic cotransmission. The distributi...
متن کاملNeuropeptides and inflammation: the role of substance P.
The neuropeptide substance P modulates the activities of a number of different leukocytes that characterize both acute and delayed inflammatory responses. Substance P may play a role in the pathogenesis of such diverse diseases as arthritis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease.
متن کاملSequential expression of the neuropeptides substance P and somatostatin in granulomas associated with murine cysticercosis.
Neurocysticercosis, a parasitic infection of the human central nervous system caused by Taenia solium, is a leading cause of seizures. Seizures associated with neurocysticercosis are caused mainly by the host inflammatory responses to dying parasites in the brain parenchyma. We previously demonstrated sequential expression of Th1 cytokines in early-stage granulomas, followed by expression of Th...
متن کاملOsteotropic effects by the neuropeptides calcitonin gene-related peptide, substance P and vasoactive intestinal peptide.
Immunohistochemical phenotypic characterization of skeletal nerve fibers has demonstrated the expression of a restricted number of neuropeptides, including calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance P (SP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). According to the neuro-osteological hypothesis, such neuropeptides can be released and exert paracrine biological effects on bone cells present...
