摘要
降钙素基因相关肽(CGRP)广泛分布于中枢和外周神经系统,已被证明是一个具有37个氨基酸的多功能神经肽,参与多种生理和病理过程。最近,有越来越多的证据表明在非神经细胞也存在CGRP,如上皮细胞、内皮细胞、内皮祖细胞(EPCs)、T淋巴细胞、B淋巴细胞、外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)和脂肪细胞。CGRP的在非神经组织中的存在是非常重要的,其可通过不同的途径调控多种生理和病理过程,特别是通过自分泌或旁分泌的方式。 本文整合最近的进展结果,旨在为非神经来源的CGRP及其对生理和病理过程的有关影响提供新的见解。

摘要: Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is extensively distributed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems and has been shown to be a 37 amino acid multifunctional neuropeptide involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes. Recently, there is increasing evidence suggesting that CGRP also exists in non-nerve cells, such as epithelial cells, endothelial cells, endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and adipocytes. The existence of CGRP in non-neural tissue is of great importance to the regulation of multiple physiological and pathological processes via different pathways, especially through an autocrine/paracrine mode. This review integrates evidence from recent developments and aims to provide novel insights into non-neural sources of CGRP and its effects on physiological and pathological processes.
