Microglia are the major inflammatory cells in the brain. Recent studies have highlighted the reciprocal roles of other brain cells in modulating the microglial inflammatory responses. Urocortin (UCN) is a member of the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) family of neuropeptides that function to regulate stress responses. In the present study, we demonstrated that expression of UCN in rat subs...
Urocortin in the hypothalamic PVN increases leptin and affects uncoupling proteins-1 and -3 in rats.
The hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) plays a primary role in energy homeostasis, and urocortin (UCN) decreases feeding after injection into the PVN. Peripheral uncoupling proteins (UCPs) may influence energy metabolism. The effect of UCN administered into the PVN on UCPs is unknown. We injected PVN-cannulated rats with either UCN (200 pmol) or artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) at ...
ownload st targeted anticancer drugs are inhibitors of kinases that are aberrantly activated in cancer cells. Howhe mechanisms by which kinase inhibitors suppress tumor growth remain unclear. In this study, und that UCN-01, a staurosporine analogue and broad-range kinase inhibitor used in clinical trials, ts colon cancer cell growth by inducing apoptosis via PUMA, a BH3-only Bcl-2 family member...
Here we describe the cloning and initial characterization of a previously unidentified CRF-related neuropeptide, urocortin II (Ucn II). Searches of the public human genome database identified a region with significant sequence homology to the CRF neuropeptide family. By using homologous primers deduced from the human sequence, a mouse cDNA was isolated from whole brain poly(A)(+) RNA that encod...
We have previously shown that urocortin 2 (Ucn 2), a member of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) peptide family that binds to CRF type 2 receptor, is expressed in proopiomelanocortin (POMC) cells of rat pituitary and that its secretion and expression are increased by CRF in both the anterior and intermediate lobes and suppressed by glucocorticoids in the anterior lobe. We have also shown...
AIMS Urocortin-1 (Ucn-1) is an endogenous peptide that protects heart from ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injuries. Ucn-1 is known to prevent cardiac cell death, but its role in the transcription of specific genes related to survival signaling pathway has not been fully defined. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular signaling implicated in the improvement of cardiac myocytes su...
The present studies were initiated to determine in greater molecular detail how MEK1/2 inhibitors [PD184352 and AZD6244 (ARRY-142886)] interact with UCN-01 (7-hydroxystaurosporine) to kill mammary carcinoma cells in vitro and radiosensitize mammary tumors in vitro and in vivo and whether farnesyl transferase inhibitors interact with UCN-01 to kill mammary carcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo. E...
Urocortin (Ucn) is a newly identified mammalian member of the CRF family of peptides. Ucn activates CRF receptors (both CRF-R1 and CRF-R2) with greater potency than CRF itself, suggesting that Ucn may play an endogenous role in eliciting (at least some) CRF receptor-mediated events. Because the most characterized physiological function of CRF receptors is the activation of pituitary ACTH secret...
We present experimental measurements of the properties of a liquid “Fomblin” surface obtained by the quasielastic scattering of laser light. The properties include the surface tension and viscosity as functions of temperature. The results are compared to measurements of the bulk fluid properties. We then calculate the upscattering rate of ultracold neutrons (UCN) from thermally excited surface ...
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a promising catalyst for contaminants of emerging concern removal applications, especially as visible-light-driven material. In this study, g-C3N4 catalysts were effectively synthesized through simple thermal polymerization method, using melamine, urea, and thiourea precursors to elucidate the influence these compounds on final product’s photocatalytic perfo...
