Abstract
Exaggerated airway smooth muscle (ASM) contraction regulated by the Gq family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) causes airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in asthma. Activation of Gq-coupled GPCRs leads to phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated generation of inositol triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG). DAG signaling is terminated by the action of DAG kinase (DGK) that converts DAG into phosphatidic acid (PA). Our previous study demonstrated that DGKα and ζ isoform knockout mice are protected from the development of allergen-induced AHR. Here we aimed at determining the mechanism by which DGK regulates ASM contraction. Activity of DGK isoforms was inhibited in human ASM cells by siRNA-mediated knockdown of DGKα and ζwhile pharmacological inhibition was achieved by pan DGK inhibitor I (R59022). Effects of DGK inhibition on contractile agonist-induced activation of PLC and myosin light chain (MLC) kinase, elevation of IP3, and calcium levels were assessed. Further, we employed human precision-cut lung slices and assessed the role of DGK in agonist-induced bronchoconstriction. DGK inhibitor I attenuated histamine- and methacholine-induced bronchoconstriction. DGKα and ζ knockdown or pre-treatment with DGK inhibitor I resulted in attenuated agonist-induced phosphorylation of MLC and myosin light chain phosphatase in ASM cells. Further, DGK inhibition decreased Gq agonist-induced calcium elevation, generation of IP3, and increased histamine-induced production of PA. Finally, DGK inhibition or treatment with DAG analog resulted in attenuation of activation of PLC in human ASM cells. Our findings suggest that DGK inhibition perturbed the DAG:PA ratio resulting in inhibition of Gq-PLC activation in a negative feedback manner, resulting in protection against ASM contraction.

Abstract
Diacylglycerol (DAG), a second messenger involved in different cell signaling cascades, activates protein kinase C (PKC) and D (PKD), among other kinases. The present work analyzes the effects resulting from the alteration of DAG levels on neuronal and muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) distribution. We employ CHO-K1/A5 cells, expressing adult muscle-type AChR in a stable manner, and hippocampal neurons, which endogenously express various subtypes of neuronal AChR. CHO-K1/A5 cells treated with dioctanoylglycerol (DOG) for different periods showed augmented AChR cell surface levels at short incubation times (30min-4h) whereas at longer times (18h) the AChR was shifted to intracellular compartments. Similarly, in cultured hippocampal neurons surface AChR levels increased as a result of DOG incubation for 4h. Inhibition of endogenous DAG catabolism produced changes in AChR distribution similar to those induced by DOG treatment. Specific enzyme inhibitors and Western blot assays revealed that DAGs exert their effect on AChR distribution through the modulation of the activity of classical PKC (cPKC), novel PKC (nPKC) and PKD activity.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate whether short- or long-term nicotine treatment, had an influence on Ca(2+)-induced intracellular Ca(2+) release in astrocytes co-cultured with microvascular endothelial cells, and if the release of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) changed during this treatment. We found that nicotine-evoked Ca(2+) transients were not attenuated up to 10d of incubation with nicotine, neither was the α7-nicotine acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR) protein. After 10d the IL-1β release was decreased. Furthermore, substance P- and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-evoked Ca(2+) transients were attenuated after 10d of nicotine treatment, but glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) had no effect on these transients. The results show that long-term nicotine treatment had no influence on nicotine-evoked Ca(2+) transients or protein expression of the α7-nAChR, but had with a decreased IL-1β release. The Gq protein and inositoltrisphosphate system seems to be influenced by the attenuation of Ca(2+)-evoked intracellular Ca(2+) release after stimulation with substance P and 5-HT.

Abstract
Prenatal nicotine exposure influences neuronal development including effects on several neurotransmitter systems. It also attenuates the ventilatory response to hypoxia, known to require a functional substance P-ergic system. Previous studies have shown that nicotine increases the risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) by 4-fold, and that SIDS-victims have elevated brainstem levels of substance P. We, therefore, studied the effect of prenatal nicotine exposure on the levels of substance P-like immunoreactivity by RIA in the brain in newborn rat pups. The expression of the substance P precursor preprotachykinin A mRNA was also determined by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction in carotid body, in petrosal/jugular and trigeminal ganglia, in cervical and lumbar dorsal root ganglia, and in the brainstem. We found that prenatal nicotine exposure increased levels of substance P-like immunoreactivity in the brainstem without changing levels in other parts of the brain or in the adrenals. Furthermore, mRNA levels were increased in the carotid bodies and in the petrosal ganglia, in contrast to the decreased levels in the cervical dorsal root ganglia. We conclude that nicotine causes alterations in the substance P-ergic system in the brainstem, possibly linked to the increased risk for SIDS after prenatal nicotine exposure.

Abstract
It is suggested that atopic dermatitis is a skin disease associated with itching as subjective symptoms, and histamine H(1) receptor antagonists are used in order to prevent the itching, and the deterioration for scratch by itching. Histamine H(1) receptor selective anti-histamine olopatadine hydrochloride (olopatadine; Allelock shows consistent efficacy and safety in the treatment of allergic disorders. We investigated the possible efficacy of olopatadine on the number of scratching induced by repeated application of oxazolone in BALB/c mice. The repeated treatment of olopatadine significantly inhibited the ear swelling and the increased number of scratching. It significantly inhibited the increased production of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-1beta and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in the lesioned ear. Moreover, it significantly inhibited the increased production of nerve growth factor (NGF) and substance P. On the other hand, loratadine, bepotastine and chlorpheniramine did not inhibit the ear swelling and the increased number of scratching. These results indicate that olopatadine inhibited not only the increased production of cytokines but also NGF and substance P unlike other histamine H(1) receptor antagonists. It was suggested that olopatadine suppressed the increased number of scratching by the anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, olopatadine appears to exert additional biological effects besides its blockade of a histamine H(1) receptor.

Abstract
Effects of substance P (SP) and selective tachykinin agonists on neurotransmission at guinea-pig intracardiac ganglia were studied in vitro. Voltage responses of neurons to superfused tachykinins and nerve stimulation were measured using intracellular microelectrodes. Predominant effects of SP (1 microM) were to cause slow depolarization and enable synaptic transmission at low intensities of nerve stimulation. Augmented response to nerve stimulation occurred with 29 of 40 intracardiac neurons (approx. 73%). SP inhibited synaptic transmission at 23% of intracardiac neurons but also caused slow depolarization. Activation of NK(3) receptors with 100 nM [MePhe(7)]neurokinin B caused slow depolarization, enhanced the response of many intracardiac neurons to low intensity nerve stimulation or local application of acetylcholine, and triggered action potentials independent of other stimuli in 6 of 42 neurons. The NK(1) agonist [Sar(9),Met(O(2))(11)]SP had similar actions but was less effective and did not trigger action potentials independently. Neither selective agonist inhibited cholinergic neurotransmission. We conclude that SP can function as a positive or negative neuromodulator at intracardiac ganglion cells, which could be either efferent neurons or interneurons. Potentiation occurs primarily through NK(3) receptors and may enable neuronal responses with less preganglionic nerve activity. Inhibition of neurotransmission by SP is most likely explained by the known blocking action of this peptide at ganglionic nicotine receptors.

Abstract
Diacylglycerol modulates cell functions primarily through activation of protein kinase C (PKC). In a previous study, however, we found that a diacylglycerol analogue, 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG), accelerated desensitization of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAchRs) independently of PKC activation in PC12 cells. In the present study, we investigated whether other analogues and endogenous diacylglycerol exert similar effects on neuronal nAchRs and characterized the modulation by diacylglycerol. We measured the nicotine-induced whole-cell current in the absence and presence of diacylglycerol analogues in PC12 cells. We also investigated the effects of a blockade of metabolic pathways of diacylglycerol by inhibiting diacylglycerol lipase and kinase. We found that all four diacylglycerol analogues studied promoted desensitization and depressed the nondesensitized component of the nicotine-induced current. These effects seemed independent of PKC activation because they were not antagonized by the PKC inhibitors staurosporine or bisindolylmaleimide I; one analogue that lacks the PKC-stimulating action was also effective. The effects of diacylglycerol analogues were not antagonized by high doses of nicotine and were independent of the membrane potential. Similar modulatory effects were observed by treatment with RHC80267, a blocker of diacylglycerol lipase, and R59949, an inhibitor of diacylglycerol kinase, in the presence of staurosporine. These results suggest that diacylglycerol, both exogenously applied and endogenously produced, modulates neuronal nAchRs independently of PKC activation in PC12 cells; further, these effects seemed consistent with a noncompetitive and voltage-independent block. They raised the possibility that PKC-independent inhibition of neuronal nAchRs by diacylglycerol may be a novel modulatory process.

Abstract
1. One classical example of how neuropeptides can affect the function of ligand-gated receptors is the modulation of neuronal nicotinic receptors (nAChRs) by substance P. The present review updates current understanding of this action by substance P and compares it with other neuropeptides more recently found to modulate nAChRs in the autonomic nervous system. 2. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and its N-terminal fragments have been shown to exert complex inhibitory as well facilitatory actions on nAChRs. Fragments such as CGRP(1-4), CGRP(1-5) and CGRP(1-6) rapidly and reversibly enhance agonist sensitivity of nAChRs without directly activating those receptors. Longer fragments or the full-length peptide potently inhibit responses mediated by nAChRs via an apparently competitive-type antagonism. This phenomenon differs from the substance P-induced block, which is agonist use-dependent and preferential towards large nicotinic responses. 3. It is argued that the full-length peptides CGRP and substance P might play distinct roles in the activity-dependent modulation of cholinergic neurotransmission, by inhibiting background noise in the case of CGRP or by reducing excessive excitation in the case of substance P. Hence, multiple neuropeptide mechanisms may represent a wide array of fine-tuning processes to regulate nicotinic synaptic transmission. 4. The availability of novel CGRP derivatives with a strong enhancing action on nAChRs may offer new leads for the drug design targeted for potentiation of nAChRs in the autonomic nervous system as well as in the brain, a subject of interest to counteract the deficit of the nAChR function associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
