ジャーナル Regul Pept
Abstract Both vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) act as neurotransmitters in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Attention has been focused on these neuropeptides because among their numerous biological activities, they have been confirmed to show neuroprotective effects against ischemia and glutamate-induced cytotoxicity. It is well established that glutamate has excitatory effects on neuronal cells, and that excessive glutamate shows potent neurotoxicity, especially in neuronal nitric oxide synthase-containing neurons. Glutamate stimulates the production of nitric oxide (NO) in neurons, and the NO generated is tightly associated with the delayed death of neurons. We examined the effects of these neuropeptides on the glutamate-induced neural actions using PC12 cells, and we confirmed the important activities of PACAP/VIP on the production of NO as well as the delayed cell death stimulated by glutamate.
