We used primary cultures of astrocytes and neurons from the hippocampus of either sex neonate of Wistar strain rats. In the present study, we demonstrated that the treatment of astrocytes with Ang-(1–7) acts on the modulation of these cells, inducing reactive astrogliosis, identified through the increase in the expression of GFAP. Furthermore, we obtained a conditioned medium from astrocytes treated with Ang-(1–7), which in addition to promoting the secretion of neurotrophic factors essential for neuronal-glial interactions that are fundamental for neuritogenesis and neuronal survival, showed a neuroprotective effect against glutamatergic excitotoxicity. In turn, Ang II does not exhibit the same effects on astrocyte modulation, exacerbating deleterious effects on brain RAS.

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is normally expressed on DH neurons but not sensory neurons. By contrast, the Npy2r receptor (Y2) is expressed on the central and peripheral terminals of sensory neurons but not on DH neurons. Neurophysiological slice recordings indicate that Y2-selective agonists inhibits spinal neurotransmitter release from sensory neurons. However, behavioral pharmacology studies indicate that Y2 agonists exert minimal changes in nociception, even after injury. Additional discrepancies in the behavioral actions of the Y2-antagonist BIIE0246 – reports of either pronociception or antinociception – have now been resolved. In the normal state, spinally-directed (intrathecal) administration of BIIE0246 elicits ongoing nociception, hypersensitivity to sensory stimulation, and aversion. Conversely, in the setting of nerve injury and inflammation, intrathecal BIIE024 reduced not only mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity, but also a measure of the affective dimension of pain (conditioned place preference). When administered in chronic pain models of latent sensitization, BIIE0246 produced a profound reinstatement of pain-like behaviors. We propose that tissue or nerve injury induces a G protein switch in the action of NPY-Y2 signaling from antinociception in the naïve state to the inhibition of mechanical and heat hyperalgesia in the injured state, and then a switch back to antinociception to keep LS in a state of remission. This model clarifies the pharmacotherapeutic potential of Y2 research, pointing to the development of a new non-opioid pharmacotherapy for chronic pain using Y2 antagonists in patients who do not develop LS.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19254,"journal":{"name":"Neuropeptides","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 102478"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142504905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Besides, exogenous overexpression of NPY1R resulted in the promotion of contractile phenotype to the synthetic phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), inflammatory response and M1 macrophage polarization. In terms of the underlying mechanism, NPY1R protein could be modified by TK-mediated phosphorylation and TKI could decrease IA formation and suppresse contractile phenotype to synthetic phenotype of VSMCs, inflammatory response and M1 macrophage polarization in IA mice. Furthermore, ablating mouse macrophages abolished NPY1R overexpression-mediated promotion of IA formation and rupture in mice.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Phosphorylated NPY1R contributed to IA progression through promoting contractile phenotype to synthetic phenotype of VSMCs, inflammatory response and M1 macrophage polarization in IA.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19254,"journal":{"name":"Neuropeptides","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 102465"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142358313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
