Abstract
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) are members of a superfamily of structurally related peptide hormones that includes glucagon, glucagon-like peptides, secretin, gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) and growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). VIP and PACAP exert their actions through three GPCRs - PAC(1) , VPAC(1) and VPAC(2) - belonging to class B (also referred to as class II, or secretin receptor-like GPCRs). This family comprises receptors for all peptides structurally related to VIP and PACAP, and also receptors for parathyroid hormone, corticotropin-releasing factor, calcitonin and related peptides. PAC(1) receptors are selective for PACAP, whereas VPAC(1) and VPAC(2) respond to both VIP and PACAP with high affinity. VIP and PACAP play diverse and important roles in the CNS, with functions in the control of circadian rhythms, learning and memory, anxiety and responses to stress and brain injury. Recent genetic studies also implicate the VPAC(2) receptor in susceptibility to schizophrenia and the PAC(1) receptor in post-traumatic stress disorder. In the periphery, VIP and PACAP play important roles in the control of immunity and inflammation, the control of pancreatic insulin secretion, the release of catecholamines from the adrenal medulla and as co-transmitters in autonomic and sensory neurons. This article, written by members of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology Committee on Receptor Nomenclature and Drug Classification (NC-IUPHAR) subcommittee on receptors for VIP and PACAP, confirms the existing nomenclature for these receptors and reviews our current understanding of their structure, pharmacology and functions and their likely physiological roles in health and disease. More detailed information has been incorporated into newly revised pages in the IUPHAR database (http://www.iuphar-db.org/DATABASE/FamilyMenuForward?familyId=67).

Abstract
Adrenal medullary chromaffin cells are a major peripheral output of the sympathetic nervous system. Catecholamine release from these cells is driven by synaptic excitation from the innervating splanchnic nerve. Acetylcholine has long been shown to be the primary transmitter at the splanchnic-chromaffin synapse, acting through ionotropic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors to elicit action potential-dependent secretion from the chromaffin cells. This cholinergic stimulation has been shown to desensitize under sustained stimulation, yet catecholamine release persists under this same condition. Recent evidence supports synaptic chromaffin cell stimulation through alternate transmitters. One candidate is pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP), a peptide transmitter present in the adrenal medulla shown to have an excitatory effect on chromaffin cell secretion. In this study we utilize native neuronal stimulation of adrenal chromaffin cells in situ and amperometric catecholamine detection to demonstrate that PACAP specifically elicits catecholamine release under elevated splanchnic firing. Further data reveal that the immediate PACAP-evoked stimulation involves a phospholipase C and protein kinase C-dependent pathway to facilitate calcium influx through a Ni2+ and mibefradil-sensitive calcium conductance that results in catecholamine release. These data demonstrate that PACAP acts as a primary secretagogue at the sympatho-adrenal synapse under the stress response.

Abstract
Mild reductions in ambient temperature dramatically increase the mortality of neonatal mice deficient in pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), with the majority of animals succumbing in the second postnatal week. During anesthesia-induced hypothermia, PACAP−/− mice at this age are also vulnerable to prolonged apneas and sudden death. From these observations, we hypothesized that before the onset of genotype-specific mortality and in the absence of anesthetic, the breathing of PACAP-deficient mice is more susceptible to mild reductions in ambient temperature than wild-type littermates. To test this hypothesis, we recorded breathing in one group of postnatal day 4 PACAP+/+, +/−, and −/− neonates (using unrestrained, flow-through plethysmography) and metabolic rate in a separate group (using indirect calorimetry), both of which were exposed acutely to ambient temperatures slightly below (29°C), slightly above (36°C), or at thermoneutrality (32°C). At 32°C, the breathing frequency of PACAP−/− neonates was significantly less than PACAP+/+ littermates. Reducing the ambient temperature to 29°C caused a significant suppression of tidal volume and ventilation in both PACAP+/− and −/− animals, while the tidal volume and ventilation of PACAP+/+ animals remained unchanged. Genotype had no effect on the ventilatory responses to ambient warming. At all three ambient temperatures, genotype had no influence on oxygen consumption or body temperature. These results suggest that during mild reductions in ambient temperature, PACAP is vital for the preservation of neonatal tidal volume and ventilation, but not for metabolic rate or body temperature.

Abstract
Selenoproteins contain the essential trace element selenium, the deficiency of which is associated with cancer or accelerated aging. Although selenoproteins are thought to be instrumental for the effects of selenium, the biological function of many of these proteins remains unknown. Here, we studied the role of selenoprotein T (SelT), a selenocysteine (Sec) -containing protein with no known function, which we have identified as a novel target gene of the neuropeptide pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) during PC12 cell differentiation. SelT was found to be ubiquitously expressed throughout embryonic development and in adulthood in rat. Immunocytochemical analysis revealed that SelT is mainly localized to the endoplasmic reticulum through a hydrophobic domain. PACAP and cAMP induced a rapid and long-lasting increase in SelT gene expression in PC12 cells, in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. These results suggested a possible role of SelT in PACAP signaling during PC12 cell differentiation. Indeed, overexpression of SelT in PC12 cells provoked an increase in the concentration of intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) that was dependent on the Sec residue. Conversely, SelT gene knockdown inhibited the PACAP-induced increase in [Ca(2+)](i) and reduced hormone secretion. These findings demonstrate the implication of a selenoprotein in the regulation of Ca(2+) homeostasis and neuroendocrine secretion in response to a cAMP-stimulating trophic factor.

Abstract
We have identified the single PAC1 receptor variant responsible for Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores and influx through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in bovine chromaffin cells and the domain of this receptor variant that confers coupling to [Ca2+]i elevation. This receptor (bPAC1hop) contains a 28-amino acid "hop" insertion in the third intracellular loop, with a full-length 171-amino acid N terminus. Expression of the bPAC1hop receptor in NG108-15 cells, which lack endogenous PAC1 receptors, reconstituted high affinity PACAP binding and PACAP-dependent elevation of both cAMP and intracellular Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i). Removal of the hop domain and expression of this receptor (bPAC1null) in NG108-15 cells reconstituted high affinity PACAP binding and PACAP-dependent cAMP generation but without a corresponding [Ca2+]i elevation. PC12-G cells express sufficient levels of PAC1 receptors to provide PACAP-saturable coupling to adenylate cyclase and to drive PACAP-dependent differentiation but do not express PAC1 receptors at levels found in postmitotic neuronal and endocrine cells and do not support PACAP-mediated neurosecretion. Expression of bPAC1hop, but not bPAC1(null), at levels comparable with those of bPAC1hop in bovine chromaffin cells resulted in acquisition by PC12-G cells of PACAP-dependent [Ca2+]i increase and extracellular Ca2+ influx. In addition, PC12-G cells expressing bPAC1hop acquired the ability to release [3H]norepinephrine in a Ca2+ influx-dependent manner in response to PACAP. Expression of PACAP receptors in neuroendocrine rather than nonneuroendocrine cells reveals key differences between PAC1hop and PAC1null coupling, indicating an important and previously unrecognized role of the hop cassette in PAC1-mediated Ca2+ signaling in neuroendocrine cells.

Abstract
This study was to investigate if endogenous pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) can be released during direct splanchnic nerve stimulation in vivo and to determine whether PACAP in the adrenal gland can modulate the medullary response to sympathoadrenal reflex. The output of adrenal catecholamine and PACAP-38-like immunoreactivity (PACAP-38-ir) increased in a frequency-dependent manner after direct splanchnic nerve stimulation (0.2-20 Hz). Both responses were highly reproducible, and PACAP-38-ir output closely correlated with catecholamine output. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP; 0.1 mg/kg iv bolus) caused a severe hypotension resulting in marked increases in catecholamine secretion. In the presence of local PACAP-27 (125 ng), the maximum catecholamine response to SNP was significantly potentiated in a synergistic manner compared with that obtained in the group receiving SNP or PACAP-27 alone. The study indicates that endogenous PACAP-38 can be released particularly when the sympathoadrenal system is highly activated and that the local exogenous PACAP-27 enhanced the reflex-induced catecholamine release, suggesting collectively a facilitating role of PACAP as neuromodulator in the sympathoadrenal function in vivo.

Abstract
Characteristics of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP)-induced increase of Ca(2+) entry and catecholamine (CA) release were studied in bovine adrenal medullary chromaffin cells. PACAP induced intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), showing an initial transient [Ca(2+)](i) rise followed by a sustained rise and CA release, which were not blocked by the blocking agents for nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) channel, the voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channel (VOC), or the Na(+) channel. The sarcoendoplasmic Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitors thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid did not affect the PACAP-induced sustained rise of [Ca(2+)](i), but did inhibit the initial [Ca(2+)](i) rise. In cells pretreated with cyclopiazonic acid or membrane-permeable, low-affinity Ca(2+) chelator N',N',N',N'-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine, PACAP further stimulated the entry of Ca(2+) or Mn(2+), whereas these treatments masked [Ca(2+)](i) dynamics induced by bradykinin. PACAP-induced sustained [Ca(2+)](i) rise and Mn(2+) entry were enhanced by acidic extracellular solution and reduced by alkalinization, whereas thapsigargin-induced Mn(2+) entry was regulated by the opposite. PACAP-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise and Mn(2+) entry were not affected by blockers of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, phospholipase C, or protein kinase C. All store-operated Ca(2+) channel (SOC) blocking agents tested inhibited thapsigargin-induced Mn(2+) entry. 1(beta-[3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-propoxy]-4-methoxyphenylethyl)-1H-imidazole hydrochloride (SK&F 96365), (R,S)-(3,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxy-isoquinoline-1-yl)-2-phenyl-N,N-di-[2-(2,3,4-trimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]-acetamide, and econazole inhibited PACAP-induced Ca(2+) or Mn(2+) entry, whereas GdCl(3), 7,8-benzoflavone, nor-dihydroguaiaretic acid, 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid, fulfenamic acid, and niflumic acid did not. SK&F 96365 and econazole but not GdCl(3) inhibited PACAP-induced CA release. These results suggest that PACAP activates a novel Ca(2+) entry pathway associated with sustained CA release independent of the nAChR channel, VOC and SOC, activated by acid pH, with different sensitivity to blockers of SOC. This pathway may provide a useful model for the study of receptor-operated Ca(2+) entry.

Abstract
We elucidated the contribution of endogenous pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) to neurally evoked catecholamine secretion from the isolated perfused rat adrenal gland. Infusion of PACAP (100 nM) increased adrenal epinephrine and norepinephrine output. The PACAP-induced catecholamine output responses were inhibited by the PACAP type I receptor antagonist PACAP- (6-38) (30-3,000 nM) but were resistant to the PACAP type II receptor antagonist [Lys1,Pro2,5,Ara3,4,Tyr6]-vasoactive intestinal peptide (LPAT-VIP; 30-3,000 nM). Transmural electrical stimulation (ES; 1-10 Hz) or infusion of ACh (6-200 nM) increased adrenal epinephrine and norepinephrine output. PACAP-(6-38) (3,000 nM), but not LPAT-VIP, also inhibited the ES-induced catecholamine output responses. However, PACAP-(6-38) did not affect the ACh-induced catecholamine output responses. PACAP at low concentrations (0.3-3 nM), which had no influence on catecholamine output, enhanced the ACh-induced catecholamine output responses, but not the ES-induced catecholamine output responses. These results suggest that PACAP is released from the nerve endings to facilitate the neurally evoked catecholamine secretion through PACAP type I receptors in the rat adrenal gland.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to investigate the functional implication of the pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) type I (PAC(1)) receptor in the adrenal catecholamine (CA) secretion induced by either PACAP-27 or vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) in anesthetized dogs. PACAP-27, VIP, and their respective antagonists were locally infused to the left adrenal gland via the left adrenolumbar artery. Plasma CA concentrations in adrenal venous and aortic blood were determined by means of a high-performance liquid chromatograph coupled with an electrochemical detector. Adrenal venous blood flow was measured by gravimetry. The administration of PACAP-27 (50 ng) resulted in a significant increase in adrenal CA output. VIP (5 microg) also increased the basal CA secretion to an extent comparable to that observed with PACAP-27. In the presence of PACAP partial sequence 6--27 [PACAP-(6--27); a PAC(1) receptor antagonist] at the doses of 7.5 and 15 microg, the CA response to PACAP-27 was attenuated by approximately 50 and approximately 95%, respectively. Although the CA secretagogue effect of VIP was blocked by approximately 85% in the presence of PACAP-(6--27) (15 microg), it remained unaffected by VIP partial sequence 10--28 [VIP-(10--28); a VIP receptor antagonist] at the dose of 15 microg. Furthermore, the CA response to PACAP-27 did not change in the presence of the same dose of VIP--(10--28). The results indicate that PACAP-(6--27) diminished, in a dose-dependent manner, the increase in adrenal CA secretion induced by PACAP-27. The results also indicate that the CA response to either PACAP-27 or VIP was selectively inhibited by PACAP-(6--27) but not by VIP-(10--28). It is concluded that PAC(1) receptor is primarily involved in the CA secretion induced by both PACAP-27 and VIP in the canine adrenal medulla in vivo.

Abstract
The role of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) in catecholamine secretion from dissociated adrenal chromaffin cells of the guinea-pig was investigated using amperometry, the patch clamp technique and immunochemistry. Pretreatment of adrenal chromaffin cells with 0.3-10 nM PACAP for 2 min resulted in enhancement of nicotine- and muscarine-induced secretions in either the presence of external Ca2+ ions or nominally Ca2+-free solution, with no change in basal secretion or the holding current at -60 mV in most of the cells tested. Pretreatment with PACAP augmented the muscarine-induced non-selective cation current, but did not affect the muscarine-induced outward current or nicotine-induced current. PACAP-induced enhancement of nicotine- and muscarine-induced secretions was suppressed by the simultaneous application of PACAP and the protein kinase inhibitors 100 microM HA1004 or 2 microM H89. Application of forskolin enhanced both muscarine- and nicotine-induced secretions, whereas application of a phorbol ester augmented the nicotine-induced secretion, but suppressed the muscarine-induced secretion in a reversible manner. Immunohistochemical analysis of adrenal medullae revealed that PACAP-like immunoreactivity was present in nerve fibres surrounding putative chromaffin cells. PAC1R-like immunoreactivity was distributed diffusely in the plasma membrane, whereas nicotinic ACh receptor-like immunoreactivity was concentrated at the plasma membrane near the nucleus, where the synapses were mainly localized. These observations suggest that PACAP in the guinea-pig adrenal medulla functions as a neuromodulator to facilitate ACh-induced secretion through a cAMP-protein kinase A-dependent pathway.
