“…Within the brain cortex of terrestrial snails (pulmonates), several peptide hormone producing 'nuclei' have been described (Geraerts et al 1988, Joosse 1988, de Lange et al 2001. Among these are the caudo-dorsal cells (CDCs), bag cells (BCs), latero-dorsal cells (LDCs), mediodorsal cells (MDCs), and BGCs (Fig.…”

Neuroendocrine control mechanisms are observed in all animals that possess a nervous system. Recent analyses of neuroendocrine functions in invertebrate model systems reveal a great degree of similarity between phyla as far apart as nematodes, arthropods, and chordates. Developmental studies that emphasize the comparison between different animal groups will help to shed light on questions regarding the evolutionary origin and possible homologies between neuroendocrine systems. This review intends to provide a brief overview of invertebrate neuroendocrine systems and to discuss aspects of their development that appear to be conserved between insects and vertebrates.

“…Similarly, the neurosecretory cells (NSCs) and neurohemal structures located in the glial sheath of the nervous system have been described in several mollusc species [ 16 ]. In terrestrial snails (pulmonates), several peptide hormones producing ‘nuclei’ have been described within the brain cortex [ 17 ]. Because the nervous system in invertebrates is far more primitive than that in higher forms of life, the endocrine and immune systems, particularly the NSCs and immune cells, become extremely important for the functional integrity of NEI network.…”

The neuroendocrine immunomodulatory axis-like pathway mediated by circulating haemocytes in pacific oysterCrassostrea gigas

The neuroendocrine-immune (NEI) regulatory network is a complex system, which plays an indispensable role in the immunity of host. In this study, a neuroendocrine immunomodulatory axis (NIA)-like pathway mediated by the nervous system and haemocytes was characterized in the oyster Crassostrea gigas. Once invaded pathogen was recognized by the host, the nervous system would temporally release neurotransmitters to modulate the immune response. Instead of acting passively, oyster haemocytes were able to mediate neuronal immunomodulation promptly by controlling the expression of specific neurotransmitter receptors on cell surface and modulating their binding sensitivities, thus regulating intracellular concentration of Ca2+. This neural immunomodulation mediated by the nervous system and haemocytes could influence cellular immunity in oyster by affecting mRNA expression level of TNF genes, and humoral immunity by affecting the activities of key immune-related enzymes. In summary, though simple in structure, the ‘nervous-haemocyte’ NIA-like pathway regulates both cellular and humoral immunity in oyster, meaning a world to the effective immune regulation of the NEI network.

“…The former includes phagocytosis and encapsulation, while the latter involves recognition to microbes, signal transduction and the production of various effectors, such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), lysozymes, antioxidant enzymes, cytokines and heat shock proteins [4]. Recently, the fundamental elements of neuroendocrine system have been identified in mollusk, suggesting that a primordial 'neuroendocrine system' is also present in mollusc, which would help to further investigate the evolution of neuroendocrine-immune regulatory network in invertebrates [5,6]. Here we summarize the research progress of scallop immunity, focusing on the molecular constitutions of innate immune system, the mechanism of immune response and the immunomodulation of neuroendocrine system.…”
