Abstract
Aims Impairment of blood–brain barrier (BBB) is involved in numerous neurological diseases from developmental to aging stages. Reliable imaging of increased BBB permeability is therefore crucial for basic research and preclinical studies. Today, the analysis of extravasation of exogenous dyes is the principal method to study BBB leakage. However, these procedures are challenging to apply in pups and embryos and may appear difficult to interpret. Here we introduce a novel approach based on agonist‐induced internalization of a neuronal G protein‐coupled receptor widely distributed in the mammalian brain, the somatostatin receptor type 2 (SST2). Methods The clinically approved SST2 agonist octreotide (1 kDa), when injected intraperitoneally does not cross an intact BBB. At sites of BBB permeability, however, OCT extravasates and induces SST2 internalization from the neuronal membrane into perinuclear compartments. This allows an unambiguous localization of increased BBB permeability by classical immunohistochemical procedures using specific antibodies against the receptor. Results We first validated our approach in sensory circumventricular organs which display permissive vascular permeability. Through SST2 internalization, we next monitored BBB opening induced by magnetic resonance imaging‐guided focused ultrasound in murine cerebral cortex. Finally, we proved that after intraperitoneal agonist injection in pregnant mice, SST2 receptor internalization permits analysis of BBB integrity in embryos during brain development. Conclusions This approach provides an alternative and simple manner to assess BBB dysfunction and development in different physiological and pathological conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Somatostatin (SOM) receptor subtype 2 (SSTR2) is the major receptor subtype mediating SOM effects throughout the neuraxis. We previously demonstrated that the non-selective agonist [D-Trp8]-SOM induces intracellular sequestration of SSTR2, whereas this receptor is maintained at the cell surface after treatment with the SSTR2-selective agonist L-779,976 in cells co-expressing SSTR2 and SSTR5. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, we knocked-out SSTR5 in AtT20 cells endogenously expressing both SSTR2 and SSTR5 and used immuno-labeling and confocal microscopy to investigate the effect of SSTR5 on regulation of SSTR2 trafficking. Our results indicate that unlike [D-Trp8]-SOM-induced intracellular sequestration, L-779,976 stimulation results in the maintenance of SSTR2 at the cell surface regardless of whether SSTR5 is present or not. We then examined the trafficking pathways of SSTR2 upon stimulation by either agonist. We found that both [D-Trp8]-SOM and L-779,976 induce SSTR2 internalization via transferrin-positive vesicles. However, SSTR2 internalized upon L-779,976 treatment undergoes rapid recycling to the plasma membrane, whereas receptors internalized by [D-Trp8]-SOM recycle slowly after washout of the agonist. Furthermore, [D-Trp8]-SOM stimulation induces degradation of a fraction of internalized SSTR2 whereas L-779,976-dependent, rapid SSTR2 recycling appears to protect internalized SSTR2 from degradation. In addition, Octreotide which has preferential SSTR2 affinity, induced differential effects on both SSTR2 trafficking and degradation. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that the biased agonistic property of L-779,976 protects against SSTR2 surface depletion by rapidly initiating SSTR2 recycling while SSTR5 does not regulate L-779-976-dependent SSTR2 trafficking.

Abstract
Somatostatin, also known as somatotropin-release inhibitory factor, is a cyclopeptide that exerts potent inhibitory actions on hormone secretion and neuronal excitability. Its physiologic functions are mediated by five G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) called somatostatin receptor (SST)1-5. These five receptors share common structural features and signaling mechanisms but differ in their cellular and subcellular localization and mode of regulation. SST2 and SST5 receptors have evolved as primary targets for pharmacological treatment of pituitary adenomas and neuroendocrine tumors. In addition, SST2 is a prototypical GPCR for the development of peptide-based radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. This review article summarizes findings published in the last 25 years on the physiology, pharmacology, and clinical applications related to SSTs. We also discuss potential future developments and propose a new nomenclature.

Abstract
Somatostatin (SST) a neuropeptide involved in the central modulation of several physiological functions, is co-distributed in the same hypothalamic areas as kisspeptin (KP), the most potent secretagogue of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion known to date. As SST infused intracerebroventricularly (icv) evoked a potent inhibition of GnRH release, we explored neuroanatomical relationships between KP and SST populations in male and female rats. For that, intact males and ovariectomised oestradiol-replaced females were killed and their brains processed in order to simultaneously detect KP, SST and synapsin, a marker for synapses. We observed numerous appositions of KP on SST neurones both in female and male arcuate nucleus (ARC) and ventromedial hypothalamus. A large association between SST terminals and KP neurones at the level of the pre-optic area (POA) was also observed in female rats and in a more limited frame in males. Finally, most KP neurones from the ARC showed SST appositions in both sexes. To determine whether SST could affect KP cell activity, we assessed whether SST receptors (SSTR) were present on KP neurones in the ARC. We also looked for the presence of SSTR1 and SSTR2A in the brain of male rats. Brains were processed through a sequential double immunocytochemistry in order to detect KP and SSTR1 or KP and SSTR2A. We observed overlapping distributions of immunoreactive neurones for SSTR1 and KP and counted approximately one third of KP neurones with SSTR1. In contrast, neurones labelled for SSTR2A or KP were often juxtaposed in the ARC and the occurrence of double-labelled neurones was sporadic (<5%). These results suggest that SST action on KP neurones would pass mainly through SSTR1 at the level of the ARC. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Within the hippocampus, the major somatostatin (SRIF) receptor subtype, the sst2A receptor, is localized at postsynaptic sites of the principal neurons where it modulates neuronal activity. Following agonist exposure, this receptor rapidly internalizes and recycles slowly through the trans-Golgi network. In epilepsy, a high and chronic release of somatostatin occurs, which provokes, in both rat and human tissue, a decrease in the density of this inhibitory receptor at the cell surface. The insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) is involved in vesicular trafficking and shares common regional distribution with the sst2A receptor. In addition, IRAP ligands display anticonvulsive properties. We therefore sought to assess by in vitro and in vivo experiments in hippocampal rat tissue whether IRAP ligands could regulate the trafficking of the sst2A receptor and, consequently, modulate limbic seizures. Using pharmacological and cell biological approaches, we demonstrate that IRAP ligands accelerate the recycling of the sst2A receptor that has internalized in neurons in vitro or in vivo. Most importantly, because IRAP ligands increase the density of this inhibitory receptor at the plasma membrane, they also potentiate the neuropeptide SRIF inhibitory effects on seizure activity. Our results further demonstrate that IRAP is a therapeutic target for the treatment of limbic seizures and possibly for other neurological conditions in which downregulation of G-protein-coupled receptors occurs.

Stengel A, Karasawa H, Taché Y. The role of brain somatostatin receptor 2 in the regulation of feeding and drinking behavior. Horm Behav 2015; 73:15-22.

Abstract
Somatostatin was discovered four decades ago as hypothalamic factor inhibiting growth hormone release. Subsequently, somatostatin was found to be widely distributed throughout the brain and to exert pleiotropic actions via interaction with five somatostatin receptors (sst1-5) that are also widely expressed throughout the brain. Interestingly, in contrast to the predominantly inhibitory actions of peripheral somatostatin, the activation of brain sst2 signaling by intracerebroventricular injection of stable somatostatin agonists potently stimulates food intake and independently, drinking behavior in rodents. The orexigenic response involves downstream orexin-1, neuropeptide Y1 and μ receptor signaling while the dipsogenic effect is mediated through the activation of the brain angiotensin 1 receptor. Brain sst2 activation is part of mechanisms underlying the stimulation of feeding and more prominently water intake in the dark phase and is able to counteract the anorexic response to visceral stressors.

Abstract
Intracerebroventricular injection of stable somatostatin (SST) agonists stimulates food and water intake in rats. We investigated the receptor subtype(s) involved in the dipsogenic effect of intracerebroventricular injection of SST agonists, mechanisms of action, and role. In nonfasted and non-water-deprived male rats with chronic intracerebroventricular cannula, intake of water without food or food without water was monitored separately to avoid any interactions compared with intracerebroventricular vehicle. SST-14 and cortistatin (CST-14) (1 μg/rat icv) increased water intake by 3.1- and 2.7-fold, respectively, while both peptides did not alter food intake at 1 h postinjection in the light phase. By contrast, the stable pan-somatostatin agonist ODT8-SST (1 μg/rat icv) increased both water and food intake by 4.9- and 3.7-fold, respectively. S-346-011, a selective receptor 2 (sst2) agonist (1 μg/rat icv) induced water ingestion, while sst1 or sst4 agonist, injected under the same conditions, did not. The sst2 antagonist S-406-028 (1 μg/rat icv) prevented the 1-h water intake induced by intracerebroventricular ODT8-SST and CST-14. Losartan (100 μg/rat icv), an angiotensin receptor 1 (AT1) antagonist, completely blocked the water consumption induced by intracerebroventricular ODT8-SST, whereas intracerebroventricular injection of S-406-028 did not modify the intracerebroventricular ANG II-induced dipsogenic response. The sst2 antagonist reduced by 40% the increase of the 3-h water intake in the early dark phase. These data indicate that SST-14 and CST-14 interact with sst2 to exert a potent dipsogenic effect, which is mediated downstream by angiotensin-AT1 signaling. These data also indicate that sst2 activation by brain SST-14 and/or CST-14 may play an important role in the regulation of drinking behavior.

Abstract
Intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of the stable somatostatin pan-agonist, ODT8-SST induces a somatostatin 2 receptor (sst2) mediated robust feeding response that involves neuropeptide Y and opioid systems in rats. We investigated whether the orexigenic system driven by orexin also plays a role. Food and water intake after icv injection was measured concomitantly in non-fasted and non-water deprived rats during the light phase. In vehicle treated rats (100% DMSO, icv), ODT8-SST (1μg/rat, icv) significantly increased the 2-h food and water intake compared to icv vehicle plus saline (5.1±1.0g vs. 1.2±0.4g and 11.3±1.9mL vs. 2.5±1.2mL, respectively). The orexin-1 receptor antagonist, SB-334867 (16μg/rat, icv) completely inhibited the 2-h food and water intake induced by icv ODT8-SST. In contrast, the icv pretreatment with the selective somatostatin sst2 antagonist, S-406-028, established to block the orexigenic effect of icv ODT8-SST, did not modify the increased food and water intake induced by icv orexin-A (10.7μg/rat). These data indicate that orexin-1 receptor signaling system is part of the brain neurocircuitry contributing to the orexigenic and dipsogenic responses induced by icv ODT8-SST and that orexin-A stimulates food intake independently from brain sst2 activation.

Abstract
Somatostatin was discovered four decades ago and since then its physiological role has been extensively investigated, first in relation with its inhibitory effect on growth hormone secretion but soon it expanded to extrapituitary actions influencing various stressresponsive systems. Somatostatin is expressed in distinct brain nuclei and binds to five somatostatin receptor subtypes which are also widely expressed in the brain with a distinct distribution pattern. The last few years witnessed the discovery of highly selective peptide somatostatin receptor agonists and antagonists representing valuable tools to delineate the respective pathways of somatostatin signaling. Here we review the centrally mediated actions of somatostatin and related selective somatostatin receptor subtype agonists to influence the endocrine, autonomic, and visceral components of the stress response and basal behavior as well as thermogenesis.

Abstract
Somatostatin-14 was discovered in 1973 in the hypothalamus as a peptide inhibiting growth hormone release. Somatostatin interacts with five receptor subtypes (sst(1-5)) which are widely distributed in the brain with a distinct, but overlapping, expression pattern. During the last few years, the development of highly selective peptide agonists and antagonists provided new insight to characterize the role of somatostatin receptor subtypes in the pleiotropic actions of somatostatin. Recent evidence in rodents indicates that the activation of selective somatostatin receptor subtypes in the brain blunts stress-corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) related ACTH release (sst2/5), sympathetic-adrenal activaton (sst5), stimulation of colonic motility (sst1), delayed gastric emptying (sst5), suppression of food intake (sst2) and the anxiogenic-like (sst2) response. These findings suggest that brain somatostatin signaling pathways may play an important role in dampening CRF-mediated endocrine, sympathetic, behavioral and visceral responses to stress.

Abstract
Glioblastomas are the most aggressive of the brain tumors occurring in adults and children. Currently available chemotherapy prolongs the median survival time of patients by only 4 months. The low efficiency of current treatments is partly owing to the blood-brain barrier, which restricts the penetration of most drugs into the central nervous system. Locoregional treatment strategies thus become mandatory. In this context, viral tools are of great interest for the selective delivery of genes into tumoral cells. Gliomas express high levels of type 2 somatostatin receptors (sstr2A), pinpointing them as suitable targets for the improvement of transduction efficiency in these tumors. We designed a new adenoviral vector based on the introduction of the full-length somatostatin (SRIF (somatotropin release-inhibiting factor)) sequence into the HI loop of the HAdV fiber protein. We demonstrate that (i) HAdV-5-SRIF uptake into cells is mediated by sstr2A, (ii) our vector drives high levels of gene expression in cells expressing endogenous sstr2A, with up to 65-fold enhancement and (iii) low doses of HAdV-5-SRIF are sufficient to infect high-grade human primary glioblastoma cells. Adenoviral vectors targeting SRIF receptors might thus represent a promising therapeutic approach to brain tumors.

Abstract
The neuropeptide somatostatin (SRIF) is an important modulator of neurotransmission in the central nervous system and acts as a potent inhibitor of hormone and exocrine secretion. In addition, SRIF regulates cell proliferation in normal and tumorous tissues. The six somatostatin receptor subtypes (sst1, sst2A, sst2B, sst3, sst4, and sst5), which belong to the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family, share a common molecular topology: a hydrophobic core of seven transmembrane-spanning α-helices, three intracellular loops, three extracellular loops, an amino-terminus outside the cell, and a carboxyl-terminus inside the cell. For most of the GPCRs, intracytosolic sequences, and more particularly the C-terminus, are believed to interact with proteins that are mandatory for either exporting neosynthesized receptor, anchoring receptor at the plasma membrane, internalization, recycling, or degradation after ligand binding. Accordingly, most of the SRIF receptors can traffic not only in vitro within different cell types but also in vivo. A picture of the pathways and proteins involved in these processes is beginning to emerge.

Abstract
We recently reported that the oligosomatostatin receptor agonist, ODT8-SST increases food intake in rats via the somatostatin 2 receptor (sst(2)). We characterized ingestive behavior following intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of a selective sst(2) agonist in freely fed mice during the light phase. The sst(2) agonist (0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3 or 1μg/mouse) injected icv under short inhalation anesthesia dose-dependently increased cumulative light phase food intake over 4h compared to vehicle with a 3.1-times increase at 1μg/mouse (p<0.05). Likewise, the sst(2,3,5) agonist octreotide (0.3 or 1μg/mouse) dose-dependently increased 4-h food intake, whereas selective sst(1) or sst(4) agonists at 1μg/mouse did not. In vehicle-treated mice, high fat diet increased caloric intake/4h by 2.8-times compared to regular diet (p<0.05) and values were further increased 1.4-times/4h by the sst(2) agonist. Automated continuous assessment of food intake established a 6.6-times higher food intake during the dark phase due to increased number of meals, meal size, meal duration and rate of ingestion compared to non-treated mice during the light phase. During the first 4h post icv sst(2) agonist injection, mice had a 57% increase in number of meals with a 60% higher rate of ingestion, and a 61% reduction in inter-meal intervals, whereas meal sizes were not altered compared to vehicle. These data indicate that the activation of brain sst(2) receptors potently stimulates the light phase ingestive behavior under basal or high fat diet-stimulated conditions in mice. The shortened inter-meal interval suggests an inhibitory effect of the sst(2) agonist on "satiety", whereas "satiation" is not altered as indicated by normal meal size.

Abstract
Somatostatin and octreotide injected into the brain have been reported to modulate food intake. However, little is known regarding the underlying mechanisms. The stable oligosomatostatin analog, des-AA(1,2,4,5,12,13)-[DTrp(8)]-somatostatin (ODT8-SST), like somatostatin, binds to all five somatostatin receptors (sst(1-5)). We characterized the effects of ODT8-SST injected intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) on food consumption and related mechanisms of action in freely fed rats. ODT8-SST (0.3 and 1 microg per rat, i.c.v.) injected during the light or dark phase induced an early onset (within 1 h) and long-lasting (4 h) increase in food intake in nonfasted rats. By contrast, i.p. injection (0.3-3 mg/kg) or i.c.v. injection of selective sst(1) or sst(4) agonists (1 microg per rat) had no effect. The 2 h food intake response during the light phase was blocked by i.c.v. injection of a sst(2) antagonist, the neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y(1) receptor antagonist, BIBP-3226, and ip injection of the mu-opioid receptor antagonist, naloxone, and not associated with changes in plasma ghrelin levels. ODT8-SST (1 microg per rat, i.c.v.) stimulated gastric emptying of a solid meal which was also blocked by naloxone. The increased food intake was accompanied by a sustained increase in respiratory quotient, energy expenditure, and drinking as well as mu-opioid receptor-independent grooming behavior and hyperthermia, while ambulatory movements were not altered after ODT8-SST (1 microg per rat, i.c.v.). These data show that ODT8-SST acts primarily through brain sst(2) receptors to induce a long-lasting orexigenic effect that involves the activation of Y(1) and opiate-receptors, accompanied by enhanced gastric transit and energy expenditure suggesting a modulation of NPYergic and opioidergic orexigenic systems by brain sst(2) receptors.

Abstract
Central activation of somatostatin (sst) receptors by oligosomatostatin analogs inhibits growth hormone and stress-related rise in catecholamine plasma levels while stimulating grooming, feeding behaviors, gastric transit and acid secretion, which can be mimicked by selective sst(2) receptor agonist. To evaluate the pattern of neuronal activation induced by peptide sst receptor agonists, we assessed Fos-expression in rat brain after intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of a newly developed selective sst(2) agonist compared to the oligosomatostatin ODT8-SST, a pan-sst(1-5) agonist. Ninety min after injection of vehicle (10 microl) or previously established maximal orexigenic dose of peptides (1 microg=1 nmol/rat), brains were assessed for Fos-immunohistochemistry and doublelabeling. Food and water were removed after injection. The sst(2) agonist and ODT8-SST induced a similar Fos distribution pattern except in the arcuate nucleus where only the sst(2) agonist increased Fos. Compared to ODT8-SST, the sst(2) agonist induced higher Fos-expression by 3.7-times in the basolateral amygdaloid nucleus, 1.2-times in the supraoptic nucleus (SON), 1.6-times in the magnocellular paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (mPVN), 4.1-times in the external lateral parabrachial nucleus, and 2.6-times in both the inferior olivary nucleus and superficial layer of the caudal spinal trigeminal nucleus. Doublelabeling in the hypothalamus showed that ODT8-SST activates 36% of oxytocin, 63% of vasopressin and 79% of sst(2) immunoreactive neurons in the mPVN and 28%, 55% and 25% in the SON, respectively. Selective activation of sst(2) receptor results in a more robust neuronal activation than the pan-sst(1-5) agonist in various brain regions that may have relevance in sst(2) mediated alterations of behavioral, autonomic and endocrine functions.

Abstract
The neuropeptide somatostatin has been suggested to play an important role during neuronal development in addition to its established modulatory impact on neuroendocrine, motor and cognitive functions in adults. Although six somatostatin G protein-coupled receptors have been discovered, little is known about their distribution and function in the developing mammalian brain. In this study, we have first characterized the developmental expression of the somatostatin receptor sst2A, the subtype found most prominently in the adult rat and human nervous system. In the rat, the sst2A receptor expression appears as early as E12 and is restricted to post-mitotic neuronal populations leaving the ventricular zone. From E12 on, migrating neuronal populations immunopositive for the receptor were observed in numerous developing regions including the cerebral cortex, hippocampus and ganglionic eminences. Intense but transient immunoreactive signals were detected in the deep part of the external granular layer of the cerebellum, the rostral migratory stream and in tyrosine hydroxylase- and serotonin- positive neurons and axons. Activation of the sst2A receptor in vitro in rat cerebellar microexplants and primary hippocampal neurons revealed stimulatory effects on neuronal migration and axonal growth, respectively. In the human cortex, receptor immunoreactivity was located in the preplate at early development stages (8 gestational weeks) and was enriched to the outer part of the germinal zone at later stages. In the cerebellum, the deep part of the external granular layer was strongly immunoreactive at 19 gestational weeks, similar to the finding in rodents. In addition, migrating granule cells in the internal granular layer were also receptor-positive. Together, theses results strongly suggest that the somatostatin sst2A receptor participates in the development and maturation of specific neuronal populations during rat and human brain ontogenesis.

Abstract
The ultradian pulsatile pattern of growth hormone (GH) secretion is markedly sexually dimorphic in rodents as in primates, but the neuroanatomical mechanisms of this phenomenon are not clear. In the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) neurones receive somatostatinergic inputs through the sst2A receptor (sst2A-R) and the percentage of GHRH neurones bearing sst2A-R is higher in female than in male GHRH-enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) mice. In the present study, we hypothesised that sst2A-R expression on GHRH neurones is modulated by gonadal steroids and constitutes a mechanism for sexually differentiated GH secretion. The distribution of sst2A-R on GHRH neurones was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in adult GHRH-eGFP mice gonadectomised and treated for 3 weeks with oestradiol or testosterone implants. In gonadectomised females supplemented with testosterone, sst2A-R distribution on GHRH neurones was reduced to the level seen in intact males, whereas oestradiol implants were ineffective. Conversely, orchidectomy induced a female 'sst2A phenotype', which was reversed by testosterone supplementation. Changes in the hepatic expression of GH-dependent genes for major urinary protein-3 and the prolactin receptor reflected the altered steroid influence on GH pulsatile secretion. In the ventromedial-arcuate region, GHRH and sst2-R, as well as GHRH and somatostatin expression as measured by the real-time polymerase chain reaction, were positively correlated in both sexes. By contrast, the positive correlation between ventromedial-arcuate GHRH and periventricular somatostatin expression in males was reversed to a negative one in females. Moreover, the positive correlation between periventricular somatostatin and ventromedial-arcuate sst2-R expressions in males was lost in females. These results suggest that, in the adult mouse, testosterone is a major modulator of sst2A distribution on GHRH neurones. This marked sex difference in sst2A-R distribution may constitute a key element in the genesis of the sexually differentiated pattern of GH secretion, possibly through testosterone-modulated changes in somatostatin inputs from hypophysiotrophic periventricular neurones.

Abstract
Somatostatin acts at five G protein-coupled receptors, sst(1)-sst(5). In mouse ischaemic retinas, the over-expression of sst(2) (as in sst(1) knock-out mice) results in the reduction of cell death and glutamate release. In this study, we reported that, in wild-type retinas, somatostatin, the multireceptor ligand pasireotide and the sst(2) agonist octreotide decreased ischaemia-induced cell death and that octreotide also decreased glutamate release. In contrast, cell death was increased by blocking sst(2) with cyanamide. In sst(2) over-expressing ischaemic retinas, somatostatin analogues increased cell death, and octreotide also increased glutamate release. To explain this reversal of the anti-ischaemic effect of somatostatin agonists in the presence of sst(2) over-expression, we tested sst(2) desensitisation because of internalisation or altered receptor function. We observed that (i) sst(2) was not internalised, (ii) among G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) and regulators of G protein signalling (RGSs), GRK1 and RGS1 expression increased following ischaemia, (iii) both GRK1 and RGS1 were down-regulated by octreotide in wild-type ischaemic retinas, (iv) octreotide down-regulated GRK1 but not RGS1 in sst(2) over-expressing ischaemic retinas. These results demonstrate that sst(2) activation protects against retinal ischaemia. However, in the presence of sst(2) over-expression sst(2) is functionally desensitised by agonists, possibly because of sustained RGS1 levels.

Abstract
The hypothalamus is a major site of somatostatin (SST) production and action. SST is synthesized in several hypothalamic nuclei and involved in a variety of functions. Using SST receptor (SSTR)-specific antibodies, we localized SSTR subtypes in the rat hypothalamus. In addition, we also demonstrated SSTRs colocalization with SST, NADPH-diaphorase (NADPH-d), and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). SSTR1 is strongly localized in neurons in all major hypothalamic nuclei as well as in nerve fibers in the zona externa of the median eminence and the ependyma of the third ventricle. SSTR2 is also well expressed in most regions but with a relatively lower abundance in comparison to SSTR1. In contrast, SSTR3 is localized primarily in the paraventricular nucleus, dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus, arcuate nucleus, and median eminence. SSTR4-like immunoreactivity is mainly confined to the arcuate nucleus, ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus, median eminence, and ependymal cells of third ventricle, with the rare SSTR4-positive neuron in the paraventricular nucleus. SSTR5 is the least expressed subtype occurring only in few cells in the inner layer of the median eminence. Overall, SSTR1 is the predominant subtype, followed by SSTR2, 4, 3, and 5. Combined immunofluorescence, immunocytochemistry, and histochemistry were used to demonstrate SSTRs colocalization with SST, TH, and NADPH-d. SSTRs colocalization with SST, TH, and NADPH-d displays in a region and receptor specificity. Colocalization of SST and NADPH-d with SSTRs in hypothalamic regions was similar, suggesting that SST and NADPH-d producing cells are same. In contrast, TH was selectively coexpressed with SSTRs in the hypothalamus in a receptor-specific manner. Taken together, these data suggest that SSTRs may interact with NADPH-d and TH to exert a physiological role in concert within the hypothalamus.

Abstract
Understanding the trafficking of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is of particular importance, especially when modifications of the neurochemic environment occur as in pathological or therapeutic circumstances. In the central nervous system, although some GPCRs were reported to internalize in vivo, little is known about their trafficking downstream of the endocytic event. To address this issue, distribution and expression pattern of the major somatostatin receptor subtype, the somatostatin type 2 (sst2), was monitored in the hippocampus using immunofluorescence, autoradiographic and immunogold experiments from 10 minutes to 7 days after in vivo injection of the receptor agonist octreotide. We then analyzed whether postendocytic trafficking of the receptor was dependent upon integrity of the microtubule network using colchicine-injected animals. Together, our results suggest that upon agonist stimulation, dendritic receptors are retrogradely transported through a microtubule-dependent mechanism to a trans Golgi domain enriched in the t-SNARE syntaxin 6 and trans Golgi network 38 proteins, before recycling. Because we show that the exit rate from the trans Golgi apparatus back to the plasma membrane (hours) is slower than the entry rate (minutes), the neuronal postendocytic trafficking of sst2 receptor is likely to have functional consequences in several neurological diseases in which an increase in somatostatin release occurs.

Abstract
Leptin-responsive neurons of the hypothalamus constitute a heterogeneous population expressing a vast array of different neuropeptides and neurotransmitters, some of which participate in the regulation of hunger and satiety. Here we report that somatostatin modulates the efficacy of leptin-signalling in the rat hypothalamus. Using a two-pulse paradigm at 30-min intervals, we delivered somatostatin or somatostatin receptor subtype-selective agonists in combination with leptin into the lateral cerebral ventricle of stereotaxically cannulated rats. To monitor the effect of somatostatin on the leptin-signalling pathway, we quantified changes in the leptin-mediated activation of STAT3, the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3. Successive administration of somatostatin and leptin diminished the level of STAT3-phosphorylation and nuclear STAT3 translocation in the ventromedial and dorsomedial hypothalamic nuclei, the lateral hypothalamic area, and the arcuate nucleus by about 40% compared to leptin administration alone. Furthermore, application of subtype-selective somatostatin receptor agonists suggests that the observed reduction in leptin-responsiveness is predominantly mediated by the sst3 receptor-subtype, followed by sst1 and sst2. In addition, the intensity of the negative-regulatory effect of somatostatin on leptin-signalling displayed regional differences for the three receptor-subtypes involved. Addressing the functional consequences of the diminished leptin-signalling, behavioural analyses showed that centrally applied somatostatin counteracts the leptin-mediated suppression of food intake. These results suggest that the pleiotropic effector somatostatin also plays a role in the central regulation of energy homeostasis.

Abstract
Integrative neuroendocrine control of the gonadotropic and somatotropic axes in childhood, puberty, and young adulthood proceeds via multiple convergent and divergent pathways in the human and experimental animal. Emerging ensemble concepts are required to embody independent, parallel, and interacting mechanisms that subserve physiological adaptations and pathological disruption of reproduction and growth. Significant advances in systems biology will be needed to address these challenges.

Abstract
Somatostatin is a neuromodulator in the central nervous system and is involved in the regulation of metabolic and neuroendocrine functions. Recent experimental and clinical findings point to a role for somatostatin in the central processing of nociception. We studied the effects of somatostatin receptor modulation in the posterior hypothalamic area (PH) of the rat on dural nociceptive input. Somatostatin (10 microg/microl) and the somatostatin antagonist cyclo-somatostatin (50 microg/microl) were microinjected into the PH and the effects on responses of neurons in the trigeminal subnucleus caudalis studied. Injection of somatostatin (n=11) did not affect A- and C-fibre responses to dural electrical stimulation, nor was spontaneous activity altered (P>0.05). Injection of cyclo-somatostatin (n=10) into the PH reduced A-(-35.5+/-5.8%) and C-fibre (-43.1+/-7.5%) responses to dural stimulation and resulted in decreased spontaneous activity (-38.1+/-7.3%, P<0.05). Responses to facial thermal stimulation were decreased by 51.2+/-5.8% (n=5). Control injections had no significant effect (n=9). Blockade of somatostatin receptors in the PH has an anti-nociceptive effect on dural and facial input, probably mediated via GABAergic mechanisms. As somatostatin is also involved in hypothalamic regulation of metabolic, neuroendocrine and autonomic functions, somatostatin receptor mechanisms in the PH may play a role in the pathophysiology of primary headache disorders, such as migraine or cluster headache.

Abstract
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is characterized by hippocampal sclerosis together with profound losses and phenotypic changes of different classes of interneurons, including those expressing somatostatin (SRIF). To understand the functional significance of the plasticity of SRIF transmission in TLE, unraveling the status of SRIF receptors is, however, a prerequisite. To address this issue, we characterized expression and distribution of the major SRIF receptor, the sst2 subtype, in hippocampal tissue resected in patients with TLE using complementary neuroanatomic approaches. In patients with hippocampal sclerosis, the number of cells expressing sst2 receptor mRNA as well as sst2 receptor-binding sites and immunoreactivity decreased significantly in the CA1-3, reflecting neuronal loss. By contrast, in the dentate gyrus, sst2 receptor mRNA expression was strongly increased in the granule cell layer, and sst2 receptor-binding sites and immunoreactivity was preserved in the inner but decreased significantly in the outer molecular layer. In this latter region, pronounced changes in SRIF terminal fields were observed. Decreased receptor density in the distal dendrites of granule cells is likely to reflect downregulation of sst2 receptors in response to physiopathologic release of SRIF. Because sst2 receptors have anticonvulsant and antiepileptogenic properties, this phenomenon may contribute to the etiology of TLE seizures.

Abstract
GABAergic septohippocampal neurons play a major role in the generation of hippocampal theta rhythm, but modulatory factors intervening in this function are poorly documented. The neuropeptide somatostatin (SST) may be one of these factors, because nearly all hippocampal GABAergic neurons projecting to the medial septum/diagonal band of Broca (MS-DB) express SST. In this study, we took advantage of the high and selective expression of the SST receptor sst2A in MS-DB to examine its possible role on theta-related activity. Immunohistochemical experiments demonstrated that sst2A receptors were selectively targeted to the somatodendritic domain of neurons expressing the GABAergic marker GAD67 but were not expressed by cholinergic neurons. In addition, a subpopulation of GABAergic septohippocampal projecting neurons expressing parvalbumin (PV) also displayed sst2A receptors. Using in vivo juxtacellular recording and labeling with neurobiotin, we showed that a number of bursting and nonbursting neurons exhibiting high discharge rates and brief spikes were immunoreactive for PV or GAD67 and expressed the sst2A receptor. Microiontophoresis applications of SST and the sst2A agonist octreotide (OCT) showed that sst2A receptor activation decreased the discharge rate of both nonbursting and bursting MS-DB neurons and lessened the rhythmic activity of the latter. Finally, intraseptal injections of OCT and SST in freely moving rats reduced the power of hippocampal EEG in the theta band. Together, these in vivo experiments suggest that SST action on MS-DB GABAergic neurons, through sst2A receptors, represents an important modulatory mechanism in the control of theta activity.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that somatostatin may control neuronal excitability during epileptogenesis. In the hippocampus, sst2A receptors are likely to mediate somatostatin inhibitory actions but little is known about their status in kindled tissues. In the present study, sst2A receptor and somatostatin immunoreactivity were examined by confocal microscopy in the hippocampus during and after kindling acquisition. In control rats, somatostatin-positive axon terminals were mainly found in the stratum lacunosum moleculare of CA1 area and in the outer molecular layer of the dentate gyrus. sst2A receptor immunoreactivity was diffusely distributed in the strata radiatum and oriens of CA1 and in the stratum moleculare of the dentate gyrus. Immunogold electron microscopy revealed that sst2A receptors were predominantly localized postsynaptically, at the plasma membrane of dendritic shafts and spines of principal neurons. During kindling epileptogenesis, qualitative and semiquantitative analysis revealed a progressive decrease of sst2A immunoreactivity in the outer molecular layer, which was spatially associated with an increase in somatostatin immunoreactivity. No obvious changes in sst2A receptor immunoreactivity were observed in other hippocampal subfields. These results suggest that the decrease of sst2A receptor immunoreactivity in the outer molecular layer reflects receptor down-regulation in distal dendrites of granule cells in response to chronic somatostatin release. Because the sst2A receptor appears to mediate anticonvulsant and antiepileptogenic effects of somatostatin, this may represent a pivotal mechanism contributing to epileptogenesis.
