New analogs of anorexigenic neuropeptides involved in food intake regulation
Pražienková, Veronika
This work focuses on anorexigenic neuropeptides, cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) and prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP), which decrease food intake and body weight. CART peptide is an anorexigenic neuropeptide and, despite many efforts, its receptor has not yet been identified. We found CART peptide specific binding sites in pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. Cells differentiated to neurons increased significantly the number of binding sites. On the other hand, after differentiation to chromaffin cells the number of binding sites was so low that it was impossible to determine their density. To clarify the importance of each of the three disulfide bridges in the CART molecule, analogs with one or two disulfide bridges were synthetized. The biological activity was maintained in analog with two disulfide bridges in positions 74-94 and 88-101. Moreover, we demonstrated the stimulation of JNK and subsequently c-Jun activation in PC12 cells. Neuropeptide PrRP belongs to the RF-amide peptide family and has anorexigenic properties. PrPR has a high affinity to GPR10 and neuropeptide FF (NPFF2) receptor. In our laboratory lipidized analogs of PrRP were synthesized, which are able to decrease food intake after peripheral administration and may cross the blood-brain barrier. We tested biological...

The in vitro study of the new lipidized analogs of prolactin-releasing peptide
Šatrová, Lucie ; Maletínská, Lenka (advisor) ; Tichá, Anežka (referee)
Bakalářská práce se zabývá neuropeptidy ovlivňujícími příjem potravy anorexigenním účinkem (snižujícím příjem potravy), které jsou potenciálními Mezi tyto neuropeptidy se řadí peptid uvolňující prolaktin (PrRP), který se váže s itou ke svému receptoru GPR10, a také k afinitou jen o řád nižší než laboratoři RNDr. Lenky Maletínské, CSc. byly navrženy a syntetizovány nové lipidované analogy PrRP, které mají podobnou afini receptorům GPR10 i NPFF2 přirozený PrRP a snižují příjem potravy po periferním podání. Na základě skutečnosti, že GPR10 má vysoko jedním receptorem označovaným jako Y1 a receptor Y1 je homologický s dalšími íněných peptidů Y2 a Y5, byla této bakalářské práci stanovena afinita přirozeného a jeho dvou palmitovaných analogů k receptorům Na buňkách U2OS s transfekovanými pomocí saturačních vazeb . Ty sloužily k výpočtu kompetitivních vazebných experimentech, kde přirozený a jeho dva palmitoylované měly velmi nízkou buňkám U2OS s transfekovanými receptory Y1 nebo Y2. Na druhé straně přirozený PrRP vázal buňkám transfekovaným receptorem řádu 10 a jeho palmitoylované analogy s až stokrát nižší Součástí bakalářské práce byla i optimaliz a přítomnosti inhibitorů proteáz stanovení K buněčn sfekovaným NPFF2 Stanovená K řádu 10 mol/l podobná hodnotám pro přirozené ligandy receptorů Zkoumání vazby...
