Calcitonin gene-related peptide: Brain and spinal action on intestinal motility

The effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) and intrathecal (IT) administration of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on intestinal motility were examined in conscious rats chronically fitted with intraparietal electrodes in the duodeno-jejunum and a cannula in a cerebral lateral ventricle or catheter in the subarachnoid space. ICV administration of CGRP (0.5–10 μg) restores the fasted pattern of intestinal motility in fed rats in a dose-related manner. Intrathecal administration of CGRP or calcitonin also induces fasted pattern but after a 30 min delay. These effects persisted after transection of the spinal cord and no change in intestinal motility appeared after intravenous administration of CGRP at a dose effective when given IT. This study suggests that CGRP, as calcitonin, has a neuromodulatory role in the control of intestinal motility at both brain and spinal cord levels.     

Calcitonin and calcitonin gene-related peptide alter the excitability of neurons in rat forebrain

Individual neurons in the hypothalamus, thalamus, cortex, and other forebrain areas of urethane-anesthetized, male rats were iontophoretically tested for their membrane sensitivity to salmon calcitonin (CT), human CT, and CT gene-related peptide (CGRP). Extracellular recording of unit activity revealed that depression of neuronal firing was the predominant effect of iontophoretically applied salmon CT (35 of 74 cells tested). Few neurons responded to salmon CT with an increase in firing rate (N = 3). When CGRP was iontophoretically applied a pattern of response resembling that of salmon CT was observed. CGRP was predominantly inhibitory and excited those neurons whose firing rate was increased by salmon CT. Inhibition was also the predominant effect of human CT. However, no neurons were excited by human CT. The results clearly demonstrate that a subpopulation of neurons with membrane sensitivity to salmon CT, human CT, and CGRP are present in the rat forebrain. This finding suggests that modulation of neuronal activity may underlie the behavioral and biochemical effects of these peptides when administered centrally. Endogenous CGRP and CT-like peptides in rat brain may be capable of regulating these events as neurotransmitters or neuromodulators.     

Calcitonin—C.N.S. action to control the pattern of intestinal motility in rats

Synthetic calcitonin injected into the lateral ventricles (ICV) of rats at picomolar concentration restores the “fasted” motility pattern of the small intestine in fed rats at doses as low as 0.083 picomoles. This effect which appeared in less than 5 min and persisted at least 2 hours for 0.83 picomole, was blocked by a previous intraventricular administration of 10 μg of calcium gluconate. At 0.83 picomole ICV, calcitonin also suppressed the disruption of the “fasted” pattern induced by intravenous infusion of Pentagastrin (6 μg·kg^?1·h^?1) but not that induced by insulin (0.5 U·kg^?1). These findings support the hypothesis that calcitonin acts centrally to control the pattern of intestinal motility by inhibiting the digestive influences responsible for the “fed” pattern. All of these peripheral influences are mediated by a Ca⁺⁺ sensitive central structure.     

Intermedin/adrenomedullin-2 acts within central nervous system to elevate blood pressure and inhibit food and water intake

Intermedin (IMD)/adrenomedullin-2 (AM2) is a novel peptide that was independently discovered by two groups. The 47-amino acid peptide is homologous to adrenomedullin (AM) and can activate both the AM and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptors. IMD should therefore have actions similar to those of AM and CGRP. Indeed, like AM and CGRP, intravenous administration of IMD decreased blood pressure in rats and mice. We demonstrate here that immunoreactive IMD is present in plasma as well as heart, lung, stomach, kidney, pituitary, and brain. Because IMD is present in brain and both AM and CGRP have potent central nervous system (CNS) effects, we examined the ability of IMD within brain to regulate blood pressure and ingestive behaviors. Administration of IMD into the lateral cerebroventricle of rats caused significant, long-lasting elevations in mean arterial pressure and heart rate. These elevations are similar to the effects of CGRP and significantly greater than the effects of AM. IMD-induced elevations in mean arterial pressure were inhibited by intravenous administration of phentolamine, indicating that IMD activates the sympathetic nervous system. Intracerebroventricular administration of IMD also inhibited food and water intake in sated and in food- and water-restricted animals. The effects on feeding are likely related to activation of the CGRP receptor and are independent of the effects on water intake, which are likely through the AM receptor. Our data indicate that IMD has potent actions within the CNS that may be a result of the combined activation of both AM and CGRP receptors.     

Intraventricular calcitonin gene-related peptide inhibits gastric acid secretion

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a 37 amino acid peptide recently demonstrated to be a peptide expressed by the calcitonin gene in the rat central nervous system. Intracerebroventricular administration of CGRP in pylorus ligated rats resulted in a dose dependent suppression of gastric acid secretion. This effect was also present in acutely vagotomized rats. In addition, CGRP inhibited the stimulation of gastric acid secretion by thyrotropin releasing hormone. CGRP was considerably less potent in its effect on gastric acid than calcitonin, a well known central inhibitor of gastric acid secretion in the rat. This study suggests that CGRP may be a factor in the central regulation of gastric acid secretion in the rat.     

Ability of calcitonins to alter food and water consumption in the rat

Synthetic salmon calcitonin (sCT) given SC (30 MRC U/kg) or ICV (1.4 U, 300 ng) inhibited 24-hr food consumption in the rat by 50–100%. Furthermore, ICV doses of sCT ranging from 75 ng (0.35 U) to 300 ng (1.4 U) lowered both food and water intake in a dose-dependent manner. Use of various forms of CT give an apparent order of potency of salmon>porcine≥human with sCT being at least 40 fold more potent than the mammalian forms. Measurement of food and water intake over a brief (30–90 min) period showed that ICV sCT was effective in reducing food and water consumption regardless of whether it had been given 1, 12, or 23 hr previously. Daily administration of sCT for 5 days caused marked suppression of food and water intake for 2 days; thereafter, consumption returned toward normal, becoming equivalent to vehicle injected controls by day 3 or 4 despite continued daily injections of sCT. The results show that CT can act centrally to modify certain types of behavior and are of special interest since CT-like peptides have been described in the pituitary and hypothalamus and since CT receptors have been reported in hypothalamic and other brain regions.     

Leptin inhibits food-deprivation-induced increases in food intake and food hoarding

Food deprivation stimulates foraging and hoarding and to a much lesser extent, food intake in Siberian hamsters. Leptin, the anorexigenic hormone secreted primarily from adipocytes, may act in the periphery, the brain, or both to inhibit these ingestive behaviors. Therefore, we tested whether leptin given either intracerebroventricularly or intraperitoneally, would block food deprivation-induced increases in food hoarding, foraging, and intake in animals with differing foraging requirements. Hamsters were trained in a running wheel-based food delivery foraging system coupled with simulated burrow housing. We determined the effects of food deprivation and several peripheral doses of leptin on plasma leptin concentrations. Hamsters were then food deprived for 48 h and given leptin (0, 10, 40, or 80 microg ip), and additional hamsters were food deprived for 48 h and given leptin (0, 1.25, 2.5, or 5.0 microg icv). Foraging, food intake, and hoarding were measured postinjection. Food deprivation stimulated food hoarding to a greater degree and duration than food intake. In animals with a foraging requirement, intracerebroventricular leptin almost completely blocked food deprivation-induced increased food hoarding and intake, but increased foraging. Peripheral leptin treatment was most effective in a sedentary control group, completely inhibiting food deprivation-induced increased food hoarding and intake at the two highest doses, and did not affect foraging at any dose. Thus, the ability of leptin to inhibit food deprivation-induced increases in ingestive behaviors differs based on foraging effort (energy expenditure) and the route of administration of leptin administration.

Differential role of melanocortins in mediating leptin's central effects on feeding and reproduction

Leptin serves as a humoral link coupling the status of energy reserves to the functional activity of the reproductive system. Leptin is thought to act through melanocortinergic pathways in the brain to regulate ingestive behaviors; however, whether melanocortins mediate leptin's actions on the neuroendocrine-reproductive axis is unknown. We tested this hypothesis first by determining whether the effects of leptin on feeding behavior and reproduction in the ob/ob mouse could be blocked by the melanocortin receptor (MC-R) antagonist SHU9119 and second, by examining the effects of the MC-R agonist MTII on feeding and the endocrine-reproductive system. Administered by intracerebroventricular injections, leptin inhibited food intake, raised plasma gonadotropin levels, and increased seminal vesicle weights compared with controls; SHU9119 (intracerebroventricularly) attenuated leptin's effects on food intake and body weight but did not alter leptin's stimulatory effect on the reproductive axis. MTII (intracerebroventricularly and intraperitoneally) decreased food intake and increased body temperature compared with controls but had no effect on the reproductive-endocrine axis. These results suggest that although leptin acts centrally through melanocortinergic pathways to inhibit ingestive behaviors and stimulate metabolism, leptin's activational effect on the reproductive axis is likely to be mediated by other, unknown neuroendocrine circuits.     

Role of NPY and its receptor subtypes in foraging, food hoarding, and food intake by Siberian hamsters

Fasting has widespread physiological and behavioral effects such as increases in arcuate nucleus neuropeptide Y (NPY) gene expression in rodents, including Siberian hamsters. Fasting also stimulates foraging and food hoarding (appetitive ingestive behaviors) by Siberian hamsters but does relatively little to change food intake (consummatory ingestive behavior). Therefore, we tested the effects of third ventricular NPY Y1 ([Pro(34)]NPY) or Y5 ([D-Trp(34)]NPY) receptor agonists on these ingestive behaviors using a wheel running-based food delivery system coupled with simulated burrow housing. Siberian hamsters had 1) no running wheel access and free food, 2) running wheel access and free food, or 3) foraging requirements (10 or 50 revolutions/pellet). NPY (1.76 nmol) stimulated food intake only during the first 4 h postinjection ( approximately 200-1,000%) and mostly in hamsters with a foraging requirement. The Y1 receptor agonist markedly increased food hoarding (250-1,000%), increased foraging as well as wheel running per se, and had relatively little effect on food intake (<250%). Unlike NPY, the Y5 agonist significantly increased food intake, especially in foraging animals ( approximately 225-800%), marginally increased food hoarding (250-500%), and stimulated foraging and wheel running 4-24 h postinjection, with the distribution of earned pellets favoring eating versus hoarding across time. Across treatments, food hoarding predominated early postinjection, whereas food intake tended to do so later. Collectively, NPY stimulated both appetitive and consummatory ingestive behaviors in Siberian hamsters involving Y1/Y5 receptors, with food hoarding and foraging/wheel running (appetitive) more involved with Y1 receptors and food intake (consummatory) with Y5 receptors.     

Amylin receptors mediate the anorectic action of salmon calcitonin (sCT)

The teleost salmon calcitonin (sCT), but not mammalian CT, shows similar biologic actions in the skeletal muscle as amylin and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). The peptides have also been shown to reduce food intake in rams. Because sCT, but not amylin, binds irreversibly to amylin binding sites, the aim of the present study was to compare the anorectic potency of both peptides. To determine whether sCT reduces food intake through interaction with amylin binding sites, we also tested whether appropriate antagonists (CORP 8-37, AC 187) attenuate the anorectic effect of sCT. Finally, we wanted to know whether rat calcitonin (rCT) and sCT reduce food intake to the same extent. Peptides were injected intraperitoneally at dark onset in 24 h food-deprived rats. At doses of 5 or 0.5 microg/kg, the anorectic effect of sCT was more potent and lasted much longer (e.g. 5 microg/kg: sCT > 10 h; amylin approx. 2 h) than that of amylin. Both CORP 8-37 and AC 187 (10 microg/kg) markedly reduced the anorectic action of sCT (0.5 microg/kg). In contrast to sCT, rCT (0.5 microg/kg) had no effect on food intake. It is concluded that sCT s anorectic effect is partly mediated by amylin receptors. Irreversible binding of sCT to amylin receptors may lead to a stronger and prolonged effect in comparison to amylin due to a sustained activation of the binding sites. Similar to other actions of CTs, the anorectic potency of sCT in rats was higher than that of mammalian (rat) CT. This agrees with binding profiles of amylin, sCT, and rCT at amylin binding sites as observed in in vitro studies.     

Molecular characterization of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in a rat medullary thyroid carcinoma cell line

The rat medullary thyroid carcinoma cell line, CA-77, is known to express the calcitonin gene and the cell line has been used for characterization of procalcitonin. The present investigations concentrate on a molecular characterization of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) expressed by a subclone of this cell line. The investigations demonstrate that this subclone produces significantly more CGRP compared to calcitonin. Gel chromatography of cell extracts demonstrates heterogeneity for both CGRP and calcitonin, but a significant amount of immunoreactivity elutes corresponding to the elution position for synthetic CGRP and calcitonin, respectively. The gel chromatogram for CGRP demonstrates four immunoreactive peaks with K_d of 0.42, 0.53, 0.68, and 0.85. The immunoreactive peak with K_d 0.42 elutes corresponding to synthetic rat CGRP. The four immunoreactive peaks were characterized by high pressure liquid chromatography followed by sequence analysis and mass spectrometry. The immunoreactive peak with K_d 0.42 was identified as rat -CGRP as was the peak with K_d 0.53. The peak with K_d 0.68 was identified as 19–37 rat -CGRP and the peak with K_d 0.85 as 28–37 rat -CGRP. In summary, we find that the CA-77 cell line expresses large quantities of normally processed amidated -CGRP and specific fragments thereof. However, the cell line does not express detectable levels of rat β-CGRP. The findings indicate that the CA-77 cell line can be useful for studies of calcitonin/CGRP gene expression.

Comparison of the effects of chronic central administration and chronic peripheral administration of islet amyloid polypeptide on food intake and meal pattern in the rat

Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is postulated to act as a hormonal signal from the pancreas to the brain to inhibit food intake and reduce adipose energy reserves. The present study compared the effects of chronic peripheral and chronic central administration of IAPP on food intake and meal pattern in rats. IAPP was administered subcutaneously (SC) for 7 days at doses of 0, 0.25, 2.5 and 25 pmol kg(-1) min(-1) using an osmotic minipump or administered centrally at doses of 0, 0.025, 0.25 and 2.5 pmol kg(-1) min(-1) using an osmotic minipump connected to an intracerebroventricular (ICV) catheter inserted into the third ventricle. Both SC and ICV infusion decreased total food intake dose-dependently. The minimal effective dose was 2.5 pmol IAPP kg(-1) min(-1) for SC administration and 0.25 pmol kg(-1) min(-1) for ICV infusion. The decrease in food intake produced by infusion of IAPP was mainly due to decreased meal size, although a significant decrease in meal number also occurred at the highest SC and ICV doses. SC administration produced a larger, more persistent decrease in food intake during the light period than in the dark period, while ICV infusion caused a larger, more persistent decrease during the dark period. The 10-fold difference in minimal effective doses indicates that ICV-administered IAPP acted primarily in the brain to inhibit food intake. The difference between the effects of IAPP on meal pattern with the two methods of administration suggests that IAPP does not act on the same target(s) when administered centrally as it does when it is administered peripherally.     

Effect of calcitonin gene-related peptide on the neuroeffector mechanism of sympathetic nerve terminals in rat vas deferens

In order to evaluate the mode of action of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on the neuroeffector mechanism of peripheral sympathetic nerve fibers, the effects of CGRP were tested on the electrical stimulated and the non-stimulated preparations of the isolated rat vas deferens. The contractile responses, which were mediated predominantly by activation of postganglionic noradrenergic nerve fibers, were dose-dependently inhibited by CGRP in concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 nM. The inhibitory response produced by CGRP in high concentrations (greater than 2 nM) usually returned to the control level at 20-30 min and were rarely tachyphylactic. The inhibitory action of CGRP was not modified by pretreatment with 10(-7) M propranolol or 10(-7) M atropine. Contractions produced by exogenous norepinephrine (NE) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in unstimulated preparations were not affected by pretreatment with CGRP in a low concentration (less than 2 nM). On the other hand, the contractions were slightly reduced 1 min after pretreatment with CGRP in high concentrations (greater than 5 nM), which recovered in 15 min after constant flow washout. High concentrations of CGRP also caused a concentration-dependent relaxation on the precontracted preparations produced by high potassium (60 mM K+) solution. These results suggest that CGRP in high concentrations (greater than 5 nM) may have a non-specific inhibitory action on the postsynaptic plasma membrane of the smooth muscle cell and a postulated CGRP receptor exists presynaptically in the rat vas deferens and that CGRP may inhibit the release of NE during adrenergic nerve stimulation.     

Fat pad-specific effects of lipectomy on foraging, food hoarding, and food intake

Unlike most species, after food deprivation, Siberian hamsters increase foraging and food hoarding, two appetitive ingestive behaviors, but not food intake, a consummatory ingestive behavior. We previously demonstrated (Wood AD, Bartness TJ, Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 272: R783-R792, 1997) that increases in food hoarding are triggered by directly decreasing body fat levels through partial surgical lipectomy; however, we did not test if lipectomy affected foraging, nor if the magnitude of the lipid deficit affected food hoard size. Therefore, we tested whether varying the size of the lipectomy-induced lipid deficit and/or foraging effort affected foraging, food hoarding, or food intake. This was accomplished by housing adult male Siberian hamsters in a foraging/hoarding system and removing (x) both epididymal white adipose tissue (EWATx) pads, both inguinal white adipose tissue (IWATx) pads, or both EWAT and IWAT pads (EWATx + IWATx) and measuring foraging, food hoarding, and food intake for 12 wk. The lipectomy-induced lipid deficit triggered different patterns of white adipose tissue mass compensation that varied with foraging effort. Foraging for food (10 wheel revolutions to earn a food pellet) abolished the EWATx-induced compensation in IWAT pad mass. The magnitude of the lipid deficit did not engender a proportional change in any of the appetitive or consummatory ingestive behaviors. EWATx caused the greatest increase in food hoarding compared with IWATx or EWATx + IWATx, when animals were required to forage for their food. Collectively, it appears that the magnitude of a lipid deficit does not affect appetitive or consummatory behaviors; rather, when energy (foraging) demands are increased, loss of specific (gonadal) fat pads can preferentially stimulate increases in food hoarding.     

Characterization of amylin binding sites in a human hepatoblastoma cell line

Amylin binding sites in a human hepatoblastoma cell line (HepG2) have been characterized in detail. ¹²⁵I-Amylin (rat) bound to HepG2 cells with high affinity. Binding was reversible and selective, and dependent on time and temperature. Scatchard analysis revealed the presence of high (K_d = 0.11 ± 0.04 nM) and low (K_d = 1.3 ± 0.4 μM) affinity binding sites for ¹²⁵I-amylin in HepG2 cells. The dissociation experiments also showed that ¹²⁵I-amylin dissociated from high- and low-affinity sites. The association data, however, indicated the presence of only one binding site. Rat amylin was more potent than human amylin and rat calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in displacing ¹²⁵I-amylin bound to HepG2 cells. Nonhomologous peptides did not displace ¹²⁵I-amylin. Rat amylin was, however, less potent than rat CGRP in displacing ¹²⁵I[Tyr⁰]CGRP from HepG2 cells. Pretreatment of HepG2 cells with rat amylin (10 nM) reduced the specific binding of ¹²⁵I-amylin by 75%, whereas rat CGRP (10 nM) pretreatment had no effect on amylin binding. Calcitonin gene-related peptide, as well as rat and human amylin, stimulated the adenylate cyclase activity of HepG2 cell membrane preparation in a dose-dependent manner, with an order of potency of CGRP > rat amylin > human amylin. A CGRP antagonist, CGRP(8–37), significantly attenuated the stimulatory effect of both amylin and CGRP on adenylate cyclase activity. These investigations show that distinct receptors of amylin and CGRP are present in HepG2 cells and that amylin stimulates adenylate cyclase activity through CGRP receptors. This system could now be exploited for studying amylin receptors and amylin-mediated signal transduction.     

Neuropeptide Y: Behavioral effects in the golden hamster

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is found abundantly in nervous tissues of vertebrate species including the golden hamster. Centrally-administered NPY has been reported to elicit ingestive behaviors in the rat, squirrel, pig, mouse, and chick. To assess NPY's behavioral effects in a New World rodent that does not increase food intake after deprivation, NPY was injected intracerebroventricularly (10.0-0.04 μg/5 μl) in home-caged golden hamsters with ad lib access to food, water and 5% w/v ethanol solution. Food and fluid intakes, and behavior displays were monitored after NPY injection. NPY promptly increased short-term food intake and observed feeding behaviors at 10.0, 3.3, 1.1, and 0.37 μg NPY, but there was no effect on 24 hr food intake. Water and ethanol intakes were increased only at 10.0 and 0.37 μg NPY, respectively. Resting behaviors decreased at NPY doses that increased feeding, but there were no consistent effects of NPY on any other category of behavior. Results demonstrate that NPY potently stimulates short-term food intake and decreases resting behavior in the golden hamster. The lack of compensatory food intake in deprived hamsters cannot be explained as an insensitivity to the putative orexigenic function of endogenous neuropeptide Y.     

Calcitonin receptor-stimulating peptide: Its evolutionary and functional relationship with calcitonin/calcitonin gene-related peptide based on gene structure

This review focuses on the evolutionary and functional relationship of calcitonin receptor-stimulating peptide (CRSP) with calcitonin (CT)/calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in mammals. CRSP shows high sequence identity with CGRP, but distinct biological properties. CRSP genes (CRSPs) have been identified in mammals such as pigs and dogs of the Laurasiatheria, but not in primates and rodents of the Euarchontoglires or in non-placental mammals. CRSPs have genomic organizations highly similar to those of CT/CGRP genes (CT/CGRPs), which are located along with CGRPs in a locus between CYP2R1 and INSC, while the other members of the CGRP superfamily, adrenomedullin and amylin, show genomic organizations and locations distinct from CT, CGRP, and CRSP. Thus, we categorized these three peptides into the CT/CGRP/CRSP family. Non-placental mammals having one and placental mammals having multiple CT/CGRP/CRSP family genes suggests that multiplicity of CT/CGRP started at an early stage of mammalian evolution. In the placental mammals, Laurasiatheria generally possesses multiple CRSPs and only one CT/CGRP, while Euarchontoglires possesses CT/CGRP and CGRPβ but no CRSP, indicating an increase in the diversity and multiplicity of this family of genes in mammalian evolution. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that some CRSPs have been generated very recently in mammalian evolution. Taken together, the increase in the number and complexity of the CT/CGRP/CRSP family genes may have due to evolutionary pressure to facilitate adaptation during mammalian evolution. In this regard, it is important to elucidate the physiological roles of CT, CGRP and CRSP from the viewpoint of the CT/CGRP/CRSP family even in Euarchontoglires.
