Disease relevance of Scg2

 

Psychiatry related information on Scg2

 

High impact information on Scg2

  • Chromogranin B and secretogranin II immunoblots showed no change after PC1 reduction [4].
  • These peptides represent fragments of 16 known secretory pathway proteins, including proenkephalin, proopiomelanocortin, protachykinins A and B, chromogranin A and B, and secretogranin II [5].
  • However, GR mutant mice lack the adrenaline-synthesizing enzyme PNMT and secretogranin II [6].
  • The 5' deletions localized neuroendocrine cell type-specific expression to the proximal mouse secretogranin II promoter: such expression was abolished after deletion past the cAMP response element (CRE; [-67 bp]TGACGTCA[-60 bp]), and transfer of the CRE to a neutral promoter conferred 3.4- to 5.3-fold neuroendocrine selectivity [7].
  • Characterization of the endopeptidase PC2 activity towards secretogranin II in stably transfected PC12 cells [8].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Scg2

  • SgII promoter activities in the neuroblastoma cell lines correlated not only with the levels of SgII but also the levels of the cyclic AMP response element-binding protein CREB which were highest in BE(2)-M17 cells and lowest in SH-SY5Y cells [2].
 

Biological context of Scg2

 

Anatomical context of Scg2

  • Two primary Ewing's sarcomas, one primary PNET (an Askin tumor), and one PNET cell line (TC32) were found to strongly express the SgII gene, as shown by the presence of specific mRNA [1].
  • Our results demonstrate that SgII is proteolytically processed by PC2 in the immature secretory granule into several lower-molecular-mass proteins, the major ones being an 18 kDa sulphated fragment and a 28 kDa fragment [8].
  • Peptides found to increase corresponded to fragments of proenkephalin, prothyrotropin-releasing hormone, provasopressin, proSAAS, secretogranin II, chromogranin B, and peptidyl-glycine-alpha-amidating mono-oxygenase in the hypothalamus [11].
  • In contrast, in basomedial and central nuclei of amygdala, increased secretogranin II mRNA was found in self-administering mice [12].
  • In the core of the nucleus accumbens and piriform cortex there was increased, and in medial amygdala decreased secretogranin II mRNA in yoked controls compared with saline controls [12].
 

Associations of Scg2 with chemical compounds

  • In pulse-chase experiments, significant intracellular storage of secretogranin II and chromogranin B was observed and secretion of retained secretogranin II was stimulated with the calcium ionophore A23187 [13].
  • As differences in c-fos and secretogranin II mRNA between active mice and yoked controls were robust, measuring these mRNAs may identify neurons selectively involved in acquisition of cocaine-taking behaviour [12].
  • Inhibition of de novo protein synthesis by cycloheximide did not affect the Sg-II induction [14].
  • The increase in Sg-II mRNA expression was induced depending upon the extracellular Ca2+ and inhibited by nicardipine, indicating a requirement of Ca2+ influx through VDCCs for the Sg-II as well as BDNF gene induction [14].
  • Deprivation and subsequent induction of membrane depolarization by lowering and reelevating the extracellular concentration of potassium chloride (KCl), respectively, led to an decrease and then an increase in the Sg-II, BDNF and c-fos mRNA expression [14].
