“…Moreover, this pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) product has been well conserved during evolution. ACTH-like molecules have been found in the hemocytes of molluscs [4 -7], insects [8] and annelids [9], as well as in lower to higher vertebrates [10,11]. POMC mRNA is also present in rodent spleen cells and in immunocytes of molluscs, fish and frogs [6,7,12].…”

Adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) receptor-like messenger RNA was localized in molluscan hemocytes and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells by in situ hybridization using a digoxigenin-labelled bovine complementary DNA probe. These findings suggest that the ACTH receptor gene has been highly conserved during evolution. Moreover, these data represent further support for a relationship between the immune and neuroendocrine systems in invertebrates, as documented in our previous studies.

“…POMC-derived peptides, found in immune cells from invertebrates to man, modulate important biological and immune responses, such as cell motility, phagocytosis, stress response and in vitro antibody response (Johnson et al, 1982;Genedani et al, 1990;Ottaviani et al, 1991Ottaviani et al, , 1992aOttaviani et al, , 1992cOttaviani et al, , 1994.…”

The presence of immunoreactive pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptides (adrenocorticotropin hormone, beta-endorphin, alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone) and of cytokine-like molecules [interleukin (I)-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-2, Il-6, tumour necrosis factor-alpha] was demonstrated in periodic acid-Schiff-positive epithelial cells in the thymus of the goldfish (Carassius c. auratus) using immunocytochemical procedures. POMC-derived peptide- and cytokine-like molecules were localized in the same cell type. Lymphocytes were negative for all the above mentioned molecules. Despite the smaller number of cells positive for neuropeptide- and cytokine-like molecules, our findings suggest that immune-neuroendocrine interactions are likely to occur in the thymus of goldfish.
