Characterization of the neuropeptide FF (NPFF) gene in chickens: evidence for a single bioactive NPAF peptide encoded by the NPFF gene in birds.

Abstract:

:The 2 structurally related peptides, neuropeptide FF (NPFF) and neuropeptide AF (NPAF), are encoded by the NPFF gene and have been identified as neuromodulators that regulate nociception and opiate-mediated analgesia via NPFF receptor (NPFFR2) in mammals. However, little is known about these 2 peptides in birds. In this study, we examined the structure, tissue expression profile, and functionality of NPAF and NPFF in chickens. Our results showed that: 1) unlike mammalian NPFF, NPFF from chicken and other avian species is predicted to produce a single bioactive NPAF peptide, whereas the putative avian NPFF peptide likely lacks activity due to the absence of functional RFamide motif at its C-terminus; 2) synthetic chicken (c-) NPAF can potently activate cNPFFR2 (and not cNPFFR1) expressed in HEK293 cells, as monitored by 3 cell-based luciferase reporter systems, indicating that cNPAF is a potent ligand for cNPFFR2, which activation could decrease intracellular cAMP levels and stimulate the MAPK/ERK signaling cascade; interestingly, gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone, a peptide sharing high structural similarity to NPAF, could specifically activate cNPFFR1 (but not cNPFFR2); 3) Quantitative real-time PCR revealed that cNPFF mRNA is widely expressed in chicken tissues with the highest level detected in the hypothalamus, whereas cNPFFR2 is expressed in all tissues examined with the highest level noted in the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary. Taken together, our data reveal that avian NPFF encodes a single bioactive NPAF peptide, which preferentially activates NPFFR2, and provides insights into potential structural and functional changes of NPFF-derived peptides during vertebrate evolution.
