NPY in rat retina is present in neurons, in endothelial cells and also in micro...
Álvaro, Ana Rita; Rosmaninho-Salgado, Joana; Santiago, Ana Raquel; Martins, João; Aveleira, Célia; Santos, Paulo F.; Pereira, Tiago; Gouveia, DenisaNPY is present in the retina of different species but its role is not elucidated yet. In this work, using different rat retina in vitro models (whole retina, retinal cells in culture, microglial cell cultures, rat Müller cell line and retina endothelial cell line), we demonstrated that NPY staining is present in the retina in different cell types: neurons, macroglial, microglial and endothelial cells. Retinal c...
Intracellular signaling mechanisms mediating catecholamine release upon activat...
Rosmaninho-Salgado, Joana; Araújo, Inês M.; Álvaro, Ana Rita; Duarte, Emília P.; Cavadas, CláudiaThe adrenal chromaffin cells synthesize and release catecholamine (mostly epinephrine and norepinephrine) and different peptides, such as the neuropeptide Y (NPY). NPY stimulates catecholamine release through NPY Y1 receptor in mouse chromaffin cells. The aim of our study was to determine the intracellular signaling events coupled to NPY Y1 receptor activation that lead to stimulation of catecholamine release f...
Deletion of the neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y1 receptor gene reveals a regulatory role...
Cavadas, Cláudia; Céfai, Daniel; Rosmaninho-Salgado, Joana; Vieira-Coelho, Maria Augusta; Moura, Eduardo; Busso, Nathalie; Pedrazzini, ThierryThe contribution of neuropeptide Y (NPY), deriving from adrenal medulla, to the adrenosympathetic tone is unknown. We found that in response to NPY, primary cultures of mouse adrenal chromaffin cells secreted catecholamine, and that this effect was abolished in cultures from NPY Y(1) receptor knockout mice (Y(1)-/-). Compared with wild-type mice (Y(1)+/+), the adrenal content and constitutive release of catecho...
