Tyr-MIF-1 (Tyr-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2) was previously isolated from bovine hypothalamus. We have now purified it from the parietal cortex of human brain tissue by gel filtration chromatography and four subsequent high performance liquid chromatographic steps. During isolation, the peptide content was followed by radioimmunoassay and compared with the elution of synthetic Tyr-MIF-1 in identical chromatographic systems. This extends evidence for the presence of Tyr-MIF-1 from bovine to human brain tissue and from hypothalamus to cortex. 相似文献

A novel tetrapeptide, Tyr-Pro-Trp-Gly-NH2 (Tyr-W-MIF-1), was purified from extracts of frontal cortex of human brain tissue by several consecutive reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic steps followed by a radioimmunoassay originally developed for Tyr-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2 (Tyr-MIF-1). Sequencing, mass spectrometric analysis, and comparison of its chromatographic behavior with that of the synthetic peptide confirmed the structure. Like Tyr-MIF-1, which was previously isolated from human brain tissue, Tyr-W-MIF-1 can inhibit the binding of 3H-DAMGO (selective for mu opiate receptors) to rat brain and can act as an opiate agonist as well as antagonist. Tyr-W-MIF-1 was a more potent opiate agonist than Tyr-MIF-1, the free acid of Tyr-W-MIF-1, and the structurally related hemoglobin-derived opiate peptide hemorphin-4 (Tyr-Pro-Trp-Thr) in the guinea pig ileum. Each of these peptides acted as opiate antagonists on the ileum from morphine-tolerant guinea pigs; the free acid of Tyr-W-MIF-1 was the most potent antagonist in inhibiting the activity of DAMGO. The results demonstrate the presence in human brain of a new member of the Tyr-MIF-1 family of biologically active peptides. 相似文献

Hemorphins, cytochrophins, and human beta-casomorphins bind to antiopiate (TYR-MIE-1) as well as opiate binding sites in rat brain 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Novel peptides with opiate activity, derived from endogenous sources (human and bovine casomorphins from milk, hemorphins from hemoglobin, and cytochrophins from mitochondrial cytochrome b), were tested for their ability to inhibit binding of the brain peptide Tyr-MIF-1 (Tyr-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2) to its high affinity sites in rat brain. The order of potency in inhibiting binding of 125I-Tyr-MIF-1 was: hemorphin and bovine casomorphins greater than Tyr-MIF-1 greater than cytochrophins greater than human casomorphins. Naloxone and DAMGO were ineffective at inhibiting Tyr-MIF-1 binding. The results provide evidence that, in addition to their ability to bind to mu opiate receptors, these novel endogenous peptides with opiate activity and a peptide (Tyr-MIF-1) with antiopiate properties also bind to a non-opiate site labeled by Tyr-MIF-1. These sites could be involved in a balance between opiate and antiopiate peptides. 相似文献

The blood-brain barrier (BBB), composed of the microvessels of cerebral capillary endothelial cells, regulates the passage of peptides into the brain in several ways, mainly by saturable transport or passive diffusion. Here we describe an additional mechanism by which this regulatory function can occur. Cerebral microvessels were isolated from different regions of the brain and incubated with the mu-opiate selective endomorphin-1 (Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2) or the opiate-modulating Tyr-MIF-1 (Tyr-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2), both tetrapeptides selectively tritiated at the Pro. Degradation was determined by HPLC. For both peptides, the metabolism by microvessels from the cerebral cortex was much greater than that by microvessels from the hypothalamus or pons. For endomorphin-1, the least degradation was in the pons; for Tyr-MIF-1 there was no difference in metabolism by microvessels from the pons or hypothalamus. The results show a novel mechanism at the BBB by which the BBB can selectively regulate the activity of different peptides in different regions of the brain. 相似文献

The brain peptide Tyr-MIF-1 (Tyr-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2) was tested for its effects on electrically stimulated contractions in the guinea pig ileum assay. Tyr-MIF-1 acted as an opiate agonist in reducing these contractions. Its IC50 was about 9 microM, and its effects were reversed by naloxone and CTOP. The ability of Tyr-MIF-1 also to antagonize the inhibitory effects of opiates on electrically stimulated contractions was more evident in the ileum removed from a guinea pig tolerant to morphine or after partial inactivation of opiate receptors with beta-CNA. Similar results were observed with hemorphin. The endogenous peptide Tyr-MIF-1 and the blood-derived peptide hemorphin, therefore, can act as agonists as well as antagonists in the guinea pig ileum. The effects as antagonists are best observed in preparations of ileum with reduced receptor reserve (tolerant or beta-CNA treated) and are consistent with the idea that properties of endogenous peptides as opiate antagonists are enhanced in the tolerant state. 相似文献

Chronic, but not acute, administration of morphine alters antiopiate (Tyr-MIF-1) binding sites in rat brain 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Opiate addiction could involve a change in the binding of endogenous antiopiates. A candidate for such a role is Tyr-MIF-1 (Tyr-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2), a brain peptide that can antagonize exogenous and endogenous opiates and bind to opiate receptors. Its primary action, however, may be through its own binding site in brain, which we now report is altered by chronic administration of morphine. Rats given morphine pellets had reduced binding of both iodinated and tritiated Tyr-MIF-1 on day 5, when substantial tolerance is evident. In contrast, mu and delta opiate receptors were increased. Acute injection of an analgesic dose of morphine did not reduce Tyr-MIF-1 binding, indicating that chronic administration is required for the change. These findings open new approaches to the study of addiction by focusing on antiopiate activity. 相似文献

Abstract: Two samples of the peptide tyrosine-melanocyte-stimulating hormone release-inhibiting factor-1 (Tyr-MIF-1; Tyr-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2 ) were tritiated on different amino acids (Tyr or Pro) and incubated together at 37°C with fractions of rat brain. The amount of intact tetrapeptide remaining was determined by HPLC. By 3 min, most of the Tyr-MIF-1 was degraded. Because similar amounts of [3 H]Pro and [3 H]Tyr appeared after incubation of the Tyr-MIF-1 peptides in brain homogenate, even as early as 30 s, examination of only this crude preparation would misleadingly indicate that Tyr-MIF-1 is not a precursor of melanocyte-stimulating hormone release-inhibiting factor-1 (MIF-1; Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2 ) in brain tissue. However, incubation of the mitochondrial fractions of brain under the same conditions resulted in more than three times as much [3 H]Tyr being formed as [3 H]Pro, with accompanying accumulation of MIF-1. Addition of excess MIF-1 to the mitochondrial fraction completely suppressed the formation of MIF-1 and more than doubled the amount of Tyr-MIF-1 remaining intact. When Tyr-MIF-1 tritiated only on the Tyr was added to the mitochondrial fraction, the main peaks of radioactivity appeared only at the positions of Tyr and Tyr-MIF-1, not at the position of Tyr-Pro. The results indicate that Tyr-MIF-1 can serve as a precursor of MIF-1 in brain mitochondria, an effect not evident when crude brain homogenate is used. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that methionine enkephalin and Tyr-MIF-1 are transported from the brain to the blood by a saturable, stereospecific, carrier-mediated process. It was not established by these studies whether Tyr-MIF-1 and methionine enkephalin were transported by the same system or by separate, but overlapping systems. This issue was investigated in anesthetized mice receiving injections containing both 131I-methionine enkephalin and 125I-Tyr-MIF-1 into the lateral ventricle of the brain. Mice were decapitated and the brain to blood transport rate was derived from the residual counts in the brain. It was found that in individual mice, the transport rate for Tyr-MIF-1 correlated highly with the transport rate for methionine enkephalin but not with the transport of iodide. This shows that the transport of Tyr-MIF-1 is closely coupled to the transport of methionine enkephalin but dissociable from the brain to blood transport of iodide. Furthermore, the inability of varying doses of Tyr-MIF-1 or of methionine enkephalin to preferentially self-inhibit is radiolabeled form in comparison with the other peptide shows that, functionally, only a single system exists. Aluminum, a noncompetitive inhibitor of Tyr-MIF-1 transport, was also without preferential inhibition. Thus, under the conditions of these studies, only a single system could be functionally demonstrated for the transport of both Tyr-MIF-1 and methionine enkephalin. 相似文献

Interactions between the antiopiate Tyr-MIF-1 and the mu opiate morphiceptin at their respective binding sites in brain 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
The interactions between Tyr-MIF-1, a brain peptide with antiopiate activity, and the beta-casomorphins, a family of peptides derived from milk protein with opiate activity, were investigated by in vitro binding assays. Specific binding of 125I-Tyr-MIF-1 to rat brain membranes was displaced with high potency by beta-casomorphin, morphiceptin, and the morphiceptin analog PL017 but not by the analgesically inactive analog D-Pro2-morphiceptin or by several other ligands for classical delta, kappa, or sigma opiate receptors. In addition, Tyr-MIF-1 displaced 125I-morphiceptin from its binding sites in brain with affinities similar to those of unlabeled morphiceptin and PL017. These results, which include the first demonstration of a binding site in brain for labeled morphiceptin, indicate that brain antiopiate Tyr-MIF-1 and the beta-casomorphin derived peptides with opiate activity may share a common binding site or cross-react at each other's site. This suggests a possible mechanism of action for endogenous antiopiate-opiate interactions. 相似文献

Characterization of neuromedin U like immunoreactivity in rat, porcine, guinea-pig and human tissue extracts using a specific radioimmunoassay 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
J Domin M A Ghatei P Chohan S R Bloom 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》1986,140(3):1127-1134
Two novel bioactive peptides termed neuromedin U-8 and neuromedin U-25 have recently been isolated from porcine spinal cord but nothing is known of their occurrence and molecular forms in other species. Following gel permeation chromatography, a specific radioimmunoassay detected only a single molecular form of neuromedin U-like immunoreactivity (NmU-LI) in rat, porcine and human central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. Only guinea pig tissue extracts revealed two molecular forms of NmU-Li. Reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis demonstrated that porcine NmU-LI co-eluted with synthetic neuromedin U-25 standard. Human and rat NmU-LI however, was more hydrophobic on HPLC thus indicating species differences. 相似文献

Two canine gastrin-releasing peptides originally isolated from gut tissue extracts have been synthesized by solid phase methodology and purified by preparative reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The synthetic gastrin-releasing peptides GRP1-27 and GRP 5-27 were characterized with regard to homogeneity and composition using nine different RP-HPLC systems, mass spectroscopy, amino acid analysis, Edman degradation, methionine oxidation, and peptide mapping with tryptic, Staph. aureus V8 protease and cyanogen bromide cleavage (the latter two systems performed only with GRP 1-27). Although a scarcity of the natural products prevented quantitative biological comparison of the synthetic and natural peptides, they were found to elute identically on RP-HPLC co-chromatography and similar dose dependent biological potencies were observed in canine antral muscle tissue contraction experiments. Indeed, all the peptides containing the bombesin-like carboxyl terminal decapeptide sequence studied to date have similar biological activities. 相似文献

Isolation of Relatively Large Amounts of Endomorphin-1 and Endomorphin-2 From Human Brain Cortex 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Hackler, L., J. E. Zadina, L-J. Ge and A. J. Kastin. Isolation of relatively large amounts of endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2 from human brain cortex. Peptides 18(10) 1635–1639, 1997.—Endomorphin-1 (Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2) and endo-morphin-2 (Tyr-Pro-Phe-Phe-NH2) were previously isolated from bovine brain. Both peptides showed the greatest selectivity and affinity for the mu opiate receptor of any endogenous substance found to date and may serve as natural ligands for the mu-opiate receptor. We have purified them from the fronto-parietal cortex of human brain tissue by solid phase extraction and high performance liquid chromatography. Peptide content was followed by a specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay with an antibody that was generated against endomorphin-1. The isolated endomorphins showed full biological activity. The tetrapeptides were found in human brain in much higher amounts than in bovine frontal cortex. 相似文献

Tyr-MIF-1 is a representative of the MIF's family of endogenous peptides. It has been isolated from bovine hypothalamus and human parietal cortex that suggests its involvement in nociception. Tyr-MIF-1 can bind to the mu-receptors as well as to its specific non-opiate receptors in the brain. Data in the literature rise the idea that histamine (HA), a well known nociceptive agent, and Tyr-MIF-1 might have a common pathway in their effects on nociception. We tested that possibility by investigation of the combined action of diphenhydramine (DPH, an H (1) -antagonist) and Tyr-MIF-1 on nociception. The changes in the nociceptive effects were examined in the male Wistar rats by the Randall-Sellito paw-pressure (PP) and the tail-flick (TF) tests. Tyr-MIF-1 in a dose of 1 mg/kg exerted strong naloxone-reversible analgesic effects. DPH (100 microg/kg, i.p.) had an antinociceptive action, too. The co-administration of Tyr-MIF-1 and DPH enhanced the antinociceptive effect, as compared to DPH (PP) and to TYR-MIF-1 alone (TF). These effects were reversed when methylene blue (MB, 500 microg/rat) was applied 1h before the combination. However, naloxone (1 mg/kg, i.p.) only slightly affected the antinociceptive effect of DPH and TYR-MIF-1, compared to that of MB. The results obtained confirmed the hypothesis that cyclic nucleotides are involved in the realization of nociceptive effects of both HA and Tyr-MIF-1. 相似文献

Ferritin was isolated from porcine heart, liver and spleen. Reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography of the ferritin subunits yielded three chromatographic fractions. The relative proportions of the three chromatographic fractions were different for each tissue ferritin. These results support the model which proposes a combination of (at least) two subunit types as the basis for the existence of isoferritins. 相似文献

A fast and sensitive method for the isolation and quantitation of cytoplasmic ubiquitin from brain by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography is described. Cytosol from brain tissue was obtained by differential centrifugation and, after perchloric acid treatment, the sample was concentrated and ubiquitin was quantitatively isolated by means of a single chromatographic run. The amino acid composition, molecular weight, and primary structure of the pure protein were identified. The addition of monoiodinated 125I-ubiquitin to the sample as an internal standard indicated high native ubiquitin recovery. Statistical analysis carried out on different preparations and standardization of the chromatographic system indicated both the accuracy and the reproducibility of the method. 相似文献

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a regulatory neuropeptide which functions as a hypothalamic factor for pituitary hormone release, and as a neurotransmitter, neuromodulator and neurotrophic factor in both frogs and mammals. This study examined the quantitative distribution and chromatographic characterization of immunoreactive PACAP in the central nervous system (CNS) of the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana, using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA), named avidin-biotin complex detectable EIA for PACAP, and high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis. The brain of adult bullfrogs contained relatively high levels of immunoreactive PACAP (344.63 pmol/g wet weight of tissue). The average concentrations of immunoreactive PACAP in the regions of the telencephalon, diencephalon, tectum, cerebellum, rhombencephalon, and spinal cord were 213.84, 767.14, 524.94, 192.71, 237.67, and 362.04 pmol/g wet weight of tissue, respectively. The concentrations of immunoreactive PACAP increased with the brain development during metamorphosis, and the concentration of immunoreactive PACAP in the brain of tadpoles at the end of metamorphosis was approximately 200 pmol/g wet weight of tissue. The predominant form of immunoreactive PACAP in the CNS of adult and tadpole was eluted closely with synthetic PACAP38, but another smaller immunoreactivity also appeared in a the fraction, which corresponded to the retention time of synthetic PACAP27, as analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC. 相似文献

The Tyr-MIF-1 family of small peptides has served a prototypic role in the introduction of several novel concepts into the peptide field of research. MIF-1 (Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2) was the first hypothalamic peptide shown to act “up” on the brain, not just “down” on the pituitary. In several situations, including clinical depression, MIF-1 exhibits an inverted U-shaped dose–response relationship in which increasing doses can result in decreasing effects. This tripeptide also can antagonize opiate actions, and the first report of such activity also correctly predicted the discovery of other endogenous antiopiate peptides. The tetrapeptide Tyr-MIF-1 (Tyr-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2) not only shows antiopiate activity, but also considerable selectivity for the mu-opiate binding site. Tyr-W-MIF-1 (Tyr-Pro-Trp-Gly-NH2) is an even more selective ligand for the mu receptor, leading to the discovery of two more Tyr-Pro tetrapeptides that have the highest specificity and affinity for this site. These are the endomorphins: endomorphin-1 is Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2 and endomorphin-2 is Tyr-Pro-Phe-Phe-NH2. Tyr-MIF-1 proved, contrary to the then prevailing dogma, that peptides can be saturably transported across the blood–brain barrier by a quantifiable transport system. Unexpectedly, the Tyr-MIF-1 transporter is shared with Met-enkephalin. In the era in which it was doubtful whether a peripheral peptide could exert CNS effects, the Tyr-MIF-1 family of peptides also explicitly showed that they can exert more than one central action that persists longer than their half-lives in blood. These peptides clearly illustrate that the name of a peptide restricts neither its actions nor its conceptual implications. 相似文献

Electrochemical detection is often used to detect catecholamines and indolamines in brain samples that have been separated by conventional reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This paper presents the transfer of an existing chromatographic method for the determination of monoamines in brain tissues using 5 μm granulometry HPLC columns to columns with a particle diameter less than 3 μm. Several parameters (repeatability, linearity, accuracy, limit of detection, and stability of samples) for this new ultrafast high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) method were examined after optimization of the analytical conditions. The separation of seven compounds, noradrenaline, dopamine and three of its metabolites, dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, homovanillic acid, and 3-methoxytyramine, and serotonin and its metabolite, 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid was analyzed using this UHPLC-electrochemical detection method. The final method, which was applied to brain tissue extracts from mice, rats, and cats, decreased analysis time by a factor of 4 compared to HPLC, while guaranteeing good analytical performance. 相似文献

The immunologic and chromatographic behavior of vasopressin-like immunoreactivity (VP-LI) extracted from rat brain tissue has been studied. VP-LI present in acid extracts of hypothalamic, hippocampal, and septal tissue was found to be immunologically identical to synthetic AVP. When extracts of hypothalamic tissue were fractionated using high-performance liquid chromatography, Arg8-vasopressin (AVP) was shown to be the predominant immunoreactive species. In contrast, in addition to AVP, extrahypothalamic brain tissue extracts also contained a small second vasopressin-immunoreactive peak.The effect of water deprivation on brain vasopressin content and chromatographic profile was also studied. This treatment depleted VP-LI content in the posterior pituitary but did not greatly alter that of hypothalamic or extrahypothalamic brain. Microdissection studies showed that VP-LI content was reduced, but only in a restricted number of extrahypothalamic brain nuclei, and that water deprivation failed to alter or increased content in other areas. The results suggest that VP-ergic neurons in the rat brain may be differentially activated. 相似文献

Behavioral evidence in laboratory animals and human beings indicates possible links between the endogenous opiate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-benzodiazepine receptor systems, especially with regard to antagonistic properties. To assess possible interactions between endogenous opiate antagonists and benzodiazepine receptor binding, we evaluated the effects of the peptides MIF-1 and Tyr-MIF-1 on benzodiazepine receptor binding in mouse brain membranes. Neither peptide affected receptor binding in cortex over a broad dose range, but both peptides significantly augmented GABA-stimulated benzodiazepine receptor binding at GABA concentrations of 10(-8) and 10(-7) M. Rosenthal-Scatchard analysis indicated that the increase in binding was largely due to increased apparent affinity. Both peptides augmented GABA-enhanced binding at low doses (MIF-1 10(-11) M, Tyr-MIF-1 10(-13) M) with decreased effects at higher doses. In cerebellum and brainstem, MIF-1 tended to enhance GABA-stimulated binding but Tyr-MIF-1 was inactive. These results indicate benzodiazepine-opiate and benzodiazepine-peptide interactions. 相似文献
