Disease relevance of VIPR2

  • To initially test the hypothesis that expression of VIP-1 receptors plays an important role in the pathophysiology of human ductal pancreatic adenocarcinomas, we used reverse transcription-PCR with Southern blot hybridization to confirm expression of VIP-1 and VIP-2 receptor mRNA in the vast majority of 28 human ductal pancreatic adenocarcinomas [1].
  • VIP and pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) have an antiproliferative effect on the T98G human glioblastoma cell line through interaction with VIP2 receptor [2].
 

High impact information on VIPR2

 

Biological context of VIPR2

  • Our results suggest that deletion of the VIPR2 gene is not the sole factor responsible for the HPE3 phenotype [7].
  • The VIPR2 gene maps to the human chromosomal region 7q36.3 and to the F2 region of mouse chromosome 12 [7].
  • VIPR2 was expressed in 75.8% of cPNET, in 28.6% of ESFT and in all 10 cell lines. cPNET demonstrated high-affinity binding of 125I-VIP on quantitative autoradiography and in competitive binding assays [8].
  • Here, we describe the characterisation of the VIPR2 gene structure and promoter region [6].
  • The VIPR2 gene is encoded by 13 exons, the initiator codon of the 438 amino acid open reading frame is located in exon 1 and the termination signal and a poly-adenylation signal sequence are located in exon 13 [6].
 

Anatomical context of VIPR2

  • VIPR2 transduces human T-cell chemotaxis, expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 2 and 9 and consequently basement membrane and connective tissue transmigration, while signaling suppression of proliferation and cytokine production [9].
  • Transcripts of the common PACAP/VIP R-2 are also found in human brain and a number of peripheral tissues, such as pancreas, muscle, heart, lund, kidney, stomach and low levels in the liver [10].
  • VIP and PACAP-38 were equipotent in stimulating accumulation of cAMP in COS-7 cells transfected with the human VIP-2 receptor [11].
  • VIP1 and VIP2 receptor immunoreactivity was seen on keratinocytes in the basal layer of the epidermis, with no difference between involved and uninvolved skin [12].
 

Associations of VIPR2 with chemical compounds

  • Ro 25-1392 evoked concurrent and concentration-dependent increases in intracellular levels of calcium and cyclic AMP (EC50 = 3.0 +/- 0.4 nM, mean +/- S.E.M., n = 4) in VIPR2 transfectants, but not in VIPR1 transfectants [13].
 

Physical interactions of VIPR2

  • Nonradioactive Ro 25-1392 was as potent a competitive inhibitor as VIP for the binding of 125I-VIP to VIPR2 transfectants (Ki = 9.6 +/- 1.0 and 16 +/- 1.7 nM, respectively; mean +/- S.E.M., n = 4) [13].
 

Regulatory relationships of VIPR2

  • DU-145/AR cells constitutively expressed both VIP1R and VIP2R mRNA, but the parent DU-145 cells did not [14].
