Effects of PrRP (prolactin-releasing peptide) and NPFF (neuropeptide FF) analogs in vitro and in vivo
 Tichá, Anežka ; Ryšlavá, Helena (advisor) ; Železná, Blanka (referee)
Prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) and neuropeptide FF (NPFF) belong to the RF-amide family. These peptides have identical C-terminal amino acid sequence (R-F-NH2) and similar biological activities. PrRP was identified as an endogenous ligand of an orphan receptor GPR10 able to stimulate PRL-secretion in vitro and in vivo, but soon it was discoverd that this is not the primary function of this peptide. PrRP is thought to be an anorexigenic peptide as PrRP and GPR10 are found in several parts of the brain responsible for food intake regulation and because both GPR10 and PrRP deficient mice suffer from hyperphagia and late-onset obesity. In this study, relationship between PrRP and NPFF was studied using both in vitro binding and sell signaling and in vivo food intake and analgesia test in mice. In vitro experiments showed that PrRP bound to rat pituitary RC-4B/C cells containing GPR10 receptor with high affinity and NPFF, its stable analog 1DMe and its antagonist RF9 up to 10-5 M concentration did not bind to GPR10. NPFF, 1DMe and PrRP were bound to cell membranes with transfected NPFF2 receptor with high affinity, but RF9 with low affinity in a range of 10-7 M, in contrast to published literature. In vivo experiments with fasted mice confirmed that centrally injected PrRP and NPFF significantly...
