By means of highly sensitive radioimmunoassays, the levels of substance P (SP) and secretoneurin (SN) were detected in vitreous aspirates of patients with macular holes which served as controls, in patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (DR), active proliferative diabetic retinopathy (active PDR), inactive PDR, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). Furthermore, SN-like immunoreactivities were characterized by reversed phase-HPLC. The concentration of SN was more than 20-fold higher in macular holes when compared with SP and reversed phase HPLC revealed evidence that the vitreous levels of SN represent authentic SN. SN was significantly decreased in patients with nonproliferative DR, active PDR and inactive PDR by more than 70% which seems to result from a reduced expression and/or secretion from the cilary epithelium and a reduced release from the retina both due to diabetes mellitus. By contrast SP was increased in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment most obviously due to an enhanced outflow of the peptide through retinal breaks. Despite their proangiogenic activities, SP and SN are unlikely to be involved in the pathogenesis of neovascularizations in DR because of their unchanged and reduced levels, respectively, but the low levels of both peptides may facilitate the regression of vasoproliferations following laser photocoagulation. 相似文献

Abstract: Two experimental approaches were used to study the processing of chromogranin B and secretogranin II by prohormone convertases. In GH3 cells various prohormone convertases were overexpressed together with the substrate chromogranin B by use of a vaccinia virus infection system. PC1 appeared to be by far the most active enzyme and converted chromogranin B to several smaller molecules, including the peptide PE-11. In brain this peptide is cleaved physiologically from chromogranin B. Some processing of chromogranin B and formation of free PE-11 were also observed with PC2 and PACE4. Furin produced larger fragments, whereas PC5-A and PC5-B had negligible effects. As a second model, PC12 cells were stably transfected with PC1 or PC2 to investigate the processing of endogenous chromogranins. Both enzymes effectively cleaved chromogranin B and secretogranin II, liberating the peptides PE-11 and secretoneurin, respectively. However, in transfection experiments the ability to generate the free peptides was more pronounced with PC2 than with PC1. The extent of proprotein processing achieved by prohormone convertases apparently differed depending on the experimental system applied. This suggests that in vivo mechanisms to support and fine-tune the activity of the processing enzymes exist, which might be overlooked by using only one methodological approach. 相似文献

In this study, we investigated whether the proangiogenic neuropeptides secretoneurin (SN), substance P (SP), and neuropeptide Y (NPY) contribute to the development of abnormal neovascularization in the oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model in mice. By exposing litters of C57Bl/6N mice to 75% oxygen from postnatal day 7 (P7) until postnatal day 11 (P11) and then returning them to normoxic conditions, retinal ischemia and subsequent neovascularization on the retinal surface were induced. Retinae were dissected on P9, P11, P12-P14, P16 and P20, and the concentrations of SN, SP, NPY and VEGF determined by radioimmunoassay or ELISA. The levels of SN and SP increased in controls from P9 until P16 and from P9 until P14, respectively, whereas the levels of NPY were high at P9 and decreased thereafter until P20, suggesting that NPY may participate in the development of the retina. However, dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) and the NPY-Y2 receptor were not detectable in the immature retina indicating that NPY is not involved in the physiological vascularization in the retina. Compared to controls, OIR had no effect on the levels of SN, whereas levels of both SP and NPY slightly decreased during hyperoxia. Normalization of the levels of SP, and to a more pronounced extent of NPY, was significantly delayed during relative hypoxia. This clearly indicates that these three neuropeptides are not involved in the pathogenesis of neovascularization in OIR. Moreover, since there were no differences in the expression of two vessel markers in the retina of NPY knockout mice versus controls at P14, NPY is also not involved in the delayed development of the intermediate and deep vascular plexus in the retina in this animal model. 相似文献

Abstract: Astrocyte cultures from rat brain were analyzed for their ability to synthesize and secrete secretogranin II (chromogranin C). Northern blot analysis of polyA-selected RNA established the presence of secretogranin II mRNA in these cells. By radioimmunoassay, 11.6 fmol/106 astrocytes of secretogranin II was found in these cells. About twice the amount was released into the medium within 3 days. Secretogranin II within the astrocytes was practically unprocessed, as shown by HPLC. These results establish for the first time that astrocytes in vitro synthesize and sec rete a protein of the acidic chromogranin family. 相似文献

Abstract: Secretoneurin (SN) is a neuropeptide derived from secretogranin II that is found in brain and endocrine tissues. The aim of the present study was to determine the influence of this novel peptide on dopamine (DA) release from rat striatum using the microdialysis technique. Rat SN (1–30 µmol/L added to the dialysis buffer) enhanced DA outflow of awake rats in a concentration-dependent way without marked effects on the outflow of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid or homovanillic acid. The increase in extracellular DA content caused by the peptide was observed throughout the entire period of administration (up to 4 h). Human SN and its 15-amino-acid C-terminal sequence also increased DA outflow, but the effects were smaller than those of rat SN. Two other peptides derived from secretogranin II were without effect on DA efflux. These results establish that SN has a pronounced effect on DA release under in vivo conditions. 相似文献
