Disease relevance of RAMP1

  • In Xenopus oocytes with an endogenous calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor, a receptor activity modifying protein (RAMP1) enhancing CGRP stimulated chloride currents of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator was recently cloned [McLatchie, L.M. et al. (1998) Nature 393, 333-339] [1].
  • We examined the expression of CRLR and RAMP1, 2, and 3 in several tissues from mice in a sepsis model induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) [2].
  • We examined the regulation of their expression in a rat model of renal injury and found that RAMP1, RAMP2 and CRLR expressions were markedly upregulated upon induction of fibrosis during obstructive nephropathy [3].
  • Decremental Ramp Atrial Extrastimuli Pacing Protocol for the Induction of Atrioventricular Nodal Re-entrant Tachycardia and Other Supraventricular Tachycardias [4].
  • Randomized comparison between Ramp and Burst+ atrial antitachycardia pacing therapies in patients suffering from sinus node disease and atrial fibrillation and implanted with a DDDRP device [5].
 

High impact information on RAMP1

  • The calcitonin-like receptor (CL receptor) requires a single transmembrane domain protein, termed receptor activity modifying protein, RAMP1, to function as a CGRP receptor [6].
  • Interestingly, the L94A mutant up-regulated surface expression of the receptor heterodimer to a greater degree than wild-type hRAMP1, thereby increasing CGRP binding and signaling [7].
  • Replacement of lysine 74 in rat RAMP1 with tryptophan (the homologous amino acid in the human receptor) resulted in a > or =100-fold increase in antagonist affinities, similar to the K(i) values for the human receptor [8].
  • Here we report that when expressed alone RAMP1 is retained inside the cells where it is found in the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi predominantly as a disulfide-linked homodimer [9].
  • Similarly, (125)I-CGRP selectively recognized the mature CRLR species upon co-expression with RAMP1, indicating that the glycosylation does not determine ligand-binding selectivity [10].
 

Biological context of RAMP1

  • Our results showed for the first time an up-regulation of RAMP1 and RAMP3 mRNAs and proteins in this model of cardiac failure [11].
  • Human RAMP1 was assigned to chromosome 2q36-->q37.1, RAMP2 to 17q12-->q21.1 and RAMP3 to 7p13-->p12 [12].
  • In rCRLR and hRAMP1 cotransfected cells, expressing predominantly CGRP binding sites, r betaCGRP, r alphaCGRP, and rADM induced CRE-luc with half-maximal effective concentration of 0.27 +/- 0.17 nM, 0.37 +/- 0.27 nM, and 1.4 +/- 0.9 nM, respectively [13].
  • The binding of CGRP and its ability to stimulate cAMP production were investigated in mutant and wild-type receptors after transient transfection into COS-7 cells with RAMP1 [14].
  • In contrast, whereas affinities for amylin and the CTs were similar for the RAMP 3-derived receptor, the efficacy of human CGRPalpha was markedly reduced (IC50, 1.12 +/- 0.45 x 10(-7) M; P <.05 versus RAMP 1) [15].
 

Anatomical context of RAMP1

  • CLR and RAMP1 were detected in perivascular nerves and arterial smooth muscle [16].
  • Here, transient expression of RAMP1 in rabbit aortic endothelial cells (RAEC) brought about stimulation of cAMP accumulation by human (h) alphaCGRP with an EC50 of 0.41 nM [1].
  • RAMP1 expression was specific to myometrial myocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells in uterine arteries [17].
  • Here, the function of the rat CRLR homologue (rCRLR) has been investigated in rat osteoblast-like UMR-106 cells and in COS-7 cells, in the absence and presence of hRAMP1 and -2 and combinations thereof [13].
  • 4. L6, SK-N-MC and Col-29 cells expressed mRNA for RAMP1 and RAMP2 but Rat-2 fibroblasts had only RAMP2 [18].
 

Associations of RAMP1 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of RAMP1

  • Similarly, in HEK293 EBNA cells constitutively expressing RAMP1/CRLR receptor complex CGRP binding was remarkably inhibited [22].
  • The calcitonin-like receptor (CLR) and the calcitonin receptor (CTR) interact with receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1) at the cell surface to form heterodimeric receptor complexes [23].
 

Regulatory relationships of RAMP1

 

Other interactions of RAMP1

  • Co-expression of RAMP1 and CRLR reconstituted a CGRP receptor that was able to activate the pheromone-signaling pathway with pharmacological properties similar to those observed previously in mammalian cells [25].
  • Detectable [125I]h alphaCGRP binding required the presence of hRAMP1, and the expression of CGRP binding sites was unaffected by coexpressed hRAMP2 [13].
  • Co-expression of RAMP3 together with RAMP1 reduced the maximal cAMP response to h alphaCGRP by 47% (P < 0.05) [1].
  • RAMP1 is transported to the cell surface together with the CRLR or the CT receptor [26].
  • Highest specific binding was observed when either RAMP1 or RAMP2/1 were cotransfected, indicating the importance of the RAMP transmembrane domain and/or carboxy terminus for the degree to which amylin receptors are expressed [27].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of RAMP1

  • We have used semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western-blot analysis to detect and quantify the mRNA and the protein of RAMP1 and RAMP3 in both atria and ventricles of failing hearts 6 months after aortic banding in rats [11].
  • In the present study significant molecular expression of CRLR concomitant with RAMP1, 2 and 3 were demonstrated in human meningeal, cerebral and temporal arteries by use of reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) [28].
  • Increases in CRLR and RAMP1 mRNA expressions occurred 4 h after treatment of VSMC with 10(-7) M dexamethasone and no change was found for RAMP2 mRNA [19].
  • Northern blot analyses revealed that the RAMP family genes are expressed in various tissues with different tissue specificity; RAMP1 is abundantly expressed in the brain, fat, thymus, and spleen, RAMP2 in the lung, spleen, fat, and aorta, while RAMP3 is most abundant in the kidney and lung [29].
  • We propose that RAMP1 gene transfer may be an effective strategy for increasing the effectiveness of CGRP-induced decrease in restenosis after aortic angioplasty [20].
