Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide and Nerve Regeneration

Abstract: The role of vasoactive intestinal peptide (V.I.P.) in nerve regeneration was investigated by assessing the changes in immunoreactive V.I.P. levels in rat sciatic nerves following injury and repair. 60 rats were divided into three surgical groups and one control group: In group I (primary repair), sciatic nerves were divided and immediately repaired; in group II (secondary repair), sciatic nerves were divided and repaired two weeks later; in group III (no repair), sciatic nerves were divided and not repaired; a… Show more

“…For example, these factors affect neurotransmitter release and survival of hippocampal neurons as well as controlling cerebellar maturation (Arimura, 1998;Basille et al, 1993;Bluet-Pajot et al, 1998;Otto et al, 2001;Rayan et al, 1991;Vaudry et al, 2002;Zhou et al, 2002). These PACAP and VIP functions are mediated by three PACAP receptors, PAC1, VPAC1, and VPAC2 (Christophe, 1993;Muller et al, 1995;Tatsuno et al, 1994;Zhou et al, 2002).…”

“…VIP has been shown to act as a growth factor for proliferation of keratinocytes and as a modulator of their migration (61) as well as inducing histamine release by mast cells causing vasodilatation (62). VIP may be involved in the re-innervation of wounded tissue as it has been shown to promote sciatic nerve regeneration in rat sciatic nerve after transection (63). PACAP is found in sensory cutaneous nerves (64).…”

“…The amino acid sequence of GIP (Tseng et al, 1993) substantiates the idea that this polypeptide is member of a structurally related family of hormones including secretin, glucagon, glucagon-like peptides 1 and 2 (GLP-1, GLP-2), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), growth hormone-releasing factor (GHRF), and pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP). Interestingly, recent studies described important roles of these intestinal peptides, e.g., in nerve development, regeneration, and/or neuronal survival (Rayan et al, 1995;Waschek, 1995;Klimaschewski, 1997;Lioudyno et al, 1998;Zhang et al, 2002;Martin et al, 2005;Pavelock et al, 2007).…”
