Mouse (Murine) Endorphin beta (beta-EP) interaction partners

1. We show that these neurons are dispensable for regulating food intake, but are required for coordinating hepatic glucose production and for the fasting-induced fall in leptin levels, independent of changes in fat mass. We also identify a role for sympathetic nervous system regulation of the inhibitory adrenergic receptor (ADRA2A) in regulating leptin production

4. In vitro inhibition of miR-103/107 causes a reduction in the number of Pomc-expressing cells and increases the proportion of Pomc progenitors differentiating into NPY neurons.

6. Authors show that renal-denervated WT and diabetic mice recapitulate the phenotype of improved glucose tolerance and elevated glycosuria associated with reduced renal GLUT2 levels observed in obese ArcPomc(-/-) mice.

7. Alpha - MSH enhanced leptin sensitivity and preadipocyte proliferation, meanwhile inhibited endoplasmic reticulum stress of preadipocytes by activating Notch1 signal.

8. Glutamate transporter-associated protein 3-18 (GTRAP3-18), an anchor protein that retains interacting proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum, is a critical regulator of food intake and body weight by interacting with POMC. GTRAP3-18-deficient mice showed hypophagia, lean bodies, and lower blood glucose, insulin, and leptin levels with increased serum and brain alpha-MSH levels, leading to AMPK inhibition.

9. Immunostaining of serial sections of the hypothalamus revealed that POMC-expressing neurons were smaller in WNK1 TG mice than in WT mice.

11. Study shows that alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone and forkhead box C2 protein promote fatty acid oxidation through C/EBPbeta negative transcription in mice adipose tissue.

12. Our findings demonstrate alphaMSH plays a key role in the prevention of adipose inflammation and inflammatory diseases by down-regulating Akt/JNK signal pathway and negatively interacting with FoxOs, which brings up alphaMSH as a novel candidate factor in the adipose anti-inflammation process in obesity.

15. Localization of the dopamine receptors of types 1 and 2 on the bodies of POMC-expressing neurons of the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus in mice and rats.(

16. disruption of this hippocampal POMC/MC4R circuit might contribute to synaptic dysfunction observed in Alzheimer's disease.

17. The data show that somatic MORs in POMC neurons couple to multiple effectors that have differential sensitivity to desensitization of the receptor.

18. These findings indicate that the relevance of AgRP to POMC neuron GABA connectivity depends on the state of AgRP neuron activity and suggest that different types of transmitter release should be considered when circuit mapping.

19. these data unmasked a role for mitochondrial fission in leptin sensitivity and glucose sensing of POMC neurons.

20. it is suggested that the suppression of NeuroD1 expression and the inhibition of NeuroD1/E-box interaction may play an important role in the Gc-mediated negative regulation of Pomc.

Human Endorphin beta (beta-EP) interaction partners

1. Attenuated alpha-MSH level in synovial fluid may serve as a potential biomarker for disease severity of knee osteoarthritis (OA), and further studies are needed to identify its potential application for monitoring the course of the disease and the efficacy of therapies in OA patients.

2. found that POMC promoter methylation is significantly higher in smokers than in non-smokers.

3. These findings show that POMC methylation status in the blood of children is associated with metabolic profiles. Therefore, we suggest that the DNA methylation status might serve as a potential epigenetic biomarkers of metabolic syndrome.

4. Herein, we summarise evidence supporting the potential candidacy in this light of alpha-melanocyte stimulatory hormone, an endogenous peptide hormone and a breakdown product of the neuropeptide pro-opiomelanocortin

5. Data suggest that the stress of intermittent hypoxia up-regulates expression of mRNA and protein for POMC and CART in neuronal cell lines; GATA2 and GATA3 appear to be involved in these stress mechanisms. (POMC = proopiomelanocortin; CART = cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript protein; GATA2 = endothelial transcription factor GATA-2; GATA3 = T-cell-specific transcription factor GATA-3)

6. Mutation in POMC gene is associated with severe obesity, hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency and abnormal reddish hair pigmentation.

7. In both melanoma cell lines, alphaMSH determined the reduction of proliferation through the PI(4,5)P2/PLC pathway, employing PPARgamma as an effector element. These evidence could offer perspectives for new therapeutic approaches for melanoma.

8. The human beta-endorphin amyloid was studied in detail, exploiting solid-state NMR spectroscopy and TEM analyses.

9. POMC and MC1R were significantly lower in vitiligo lesional skin than in non-lesional skin as well as in controls and they were significantly higher in non-lesional skin than in the skin of the controls.

10. POMC has played an extraordinary role in the development of molecular endo-crinology and has clearly not yet given up all its secrets.

11. E2F1-mediated hPOMC transcription is a potential target for suppressing ACTH production in ectopic Cushing's syndrome.

12. Elevated ACTH secretion is associated with Cushing's syndrome.

13. a novel p53/POMC/Galphas/SASH1 autoregulatory positive feedback loop is regulated by SASH1 mutations to induce pathological hyperpigmentation phenotype.

14. Data suggest that alpha-MSH enhances cell adhesion to fibronectin in primary mixed synoviocytes obtained from osteoarthritis patients; alpha-MSH reduces secretion of cytokines (TNF, IL-6 and IL-8) in such synoviocyte cultures.

15. Data suggest that the first screening step diagnosis for pituitary adenoma was determined based upon immunohistochemical (IHC) scores for Pit-1, SF-1, and ACTH.

16. The aim of this survey is to evaluate the association of genetic variants of melanocortin-4-receptor (MC4R), pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), apolipoprotein E (APOE) and agouti-related protein (AGRP) with obesity in the North Indian population.

17. The expression of Pomc mRNA was stimulated in the arcuate nucleus after skin exposure to UVB.

18. Low circulating plasma alpha-MSH levels are associated with obesity.

19. hsa-miR-34a can regulate the CRH/CRHR1/POMC axis and may influence body mass index.

20. these common variants in PCSK1 and POMC were not the major cause of obesity in the Thai subjects sampled. However, variants in PCSK1 did affect cholesterol level, LDL-C level, and waist circumference.
