Metabolic profiling of radioreceptor-assayable opioid peptides in a human pituitary ACTH-secreting tumor.

Abstract:

:The profile of endogenous opioid peptides in the peptide-rich fraction obtained from a homogenate of an ACTH-secreting human pituitary tumor is presented. Gradient RP-HPLC is used to separate the mixture into peptide constituents. A preparation of opioid receptors is used in a radioreceptor assay with ethorphine - a relatively non-specific ligand that is used as a screen because it interacts with mu, sigma, and delta receptors - as the HPLC detector to detect a range of peptides that derive from proenkephalin A and POMC.

  • Genetic disruption of the inflammasome adaptor ASC has minimal impact on the pathogenesis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in mdx mice.

    abstract:AIM:Up-regulation of inflammasome proteins was reported in dystrophin-deficient muscles. However, it remains to be determined whether inflammasome activation plays a role in the pathogenesis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This study was therefore set out to investigate whether genetic disruption of the inflammasome pa...
