Definitions

  • MCH Melanin-concentrating hormone
  • MCH has been reported to participate in a variety of processes including feeding, water balance, energy metabolism, general arousal/attention state, memory and cognitive functions, and psychiatric disorders (for reviews, see Baker, 1991; Baker, 1994; Nahon, 1994; Knigge et al., 1996) . Its role in feeding or body weight regulation is supported by a recent Nature publication (Qu et al., 1996) demonstrating that MCH is overexpressed in the hypothalamus of ob/ob mice compared with o /+ mice, and that fasting further increased MCH mRNA in both obese and normal mice during fasting. MCH also stimulated feeding in normal rats when injected into the lateral ventricles
  • MCH mRNA levels
  • the ligand retained biological activity and exhibited specific binding to a variety of cell lines including mouse melanoma (B16-F1, G4F, and G4F-7), PC12, and COS cells.
  • mouse melanoma B16-F1, G4F, and G4F-7
  • PC12 PC12
  • COS cells C12 cells
  • the K D O.ll ⁇ nM
  • MCH methylcellulose
  • lateral hypothalamus a brain area implicated in the regulation of thirst and hunger
  • orexins A and B which are potent orexigenic agents, have been shown to have very similar localization to MCH in the lateral hypothalamus (Sakurai et al . , 1998).
  • MCH mRNA levels in this brain region are increased in rats after 24 hours of food-deprivation (Herve and Fellman, 1997); after insulin injection, a significant increase in the abundance and staining intensity of MCH immunoreactive perikarya and fibres was observed concurrent with a significant increase in the level of MCH mRNA (Ba jaoui-Bouhaddi et al . , 1994) . Consistent with the ability of MCH to stimulate feeding in rats (Rossi et al . , 1997) is the observation that MCH mRNA levels are upregulated in the hypothalami of obese ob/ob mice (Qu et al .
  • MCH appears to act as a functional antagonist of the melanocortin system in its effects on food intake and on hormone secretion within the HPA (hypothalamopituitary/adrenal axis) (Ludwig et al . , 1998) .
  • the MCH cell group occupies a rather constant location in those areas of the lateral hypothalamus and subthalamus where they lie and may be a part of some of the so-called "extrapyramidal" motor circuits. These involve substantial striato- and pallidofugal pathways involving the thalamus and cerebral cortex, hypothalamic areas, and reciprocal connections to subthalamic nucleus, substantia nigra, and mid-brain centers (Bittencourt et al . , 1992) . In their location, the MCH cell group may offer a bridge or mechanism for expressing hypothalamic visceral activity with appropriate and coordinated motor activity. Clinically it may be of some value 'to consider the involvement of this MCH system in movement disorders, such as Parkinson' s disease and Huntingdon' s Chorea in which extrapyramidal circuits are known to be involved.
  • MCH may regulate reproductive functions in male and female rats .
  • MCH transcripts and MCH peptide were found within germ cells in testes of adult rats, suggesting that MCH may participate in stem cell renewal and/or differentiation of early spermatocytes (Hervieu et al . , 1996).
  • MCH injected directly into the medial preoptic area (MPOA) or ventromedial nucleus (VMN) stimulated sexual activity in female rats (Gonzalez et al . , 1996) .
  • MCH stimulated luteinizing hormone
  • anti-MCH antiserum inhibited LH release
  • the zona incerta which contains a large population of MCH cell bodies, has previously been identified as a regulatory site for the pre-ovulatory LH surge (MacKenzie et al . , 1984).
  • MCH has been reported to influence release of pituitary hormones including ACTH and oxytocin.
  • MCH analogues may also be useful in treating epilepsy.
  • MCH has also been observed to affect behavioral correlates of cognitive functions .
  • MCH treatment hastened extinction of the passive avoidance response in rats (McBride et al . , 1994), raising the possibility that MCH receptor antagonists may be beneficial for memory storage and/or retention.
  • a possible role for MCH in the modulation or perception of pain is supported by the dense innervation of the periaqueductal grey (PAG) by MCH-positive fibers.
  • MCH may participate in the regulation of fluid intake. ICV infusion of MCH in conscious sheep produced diuretic, natriuretic, and kaliuretic changes in response to increased plasma volume (Parkes, 1996) . Together with anatomical data reporting the presence of MCH in fluid regulatory areas of the brain, the results indicate that MCH may be an important peptide involved in the central control of fluid homeostasis in mammals .
  • the term "antagonist” refers to a compound which binds to, and decreases the activity of, a receptor in the presence of an agonist.
  • activation may be measured using any appropriate second messenger system which is coupled to the receptor in a cell or tissue in which the receptor is expressed.
  • second messenger systems are adenylate cyclase, intracellular calcium mobilization, ion channel activation, guanylate cyclase and inositol phospholipid hydrolysis.
  • agonist refers to a compound which binds to, and increases activity of, a receptor as compared with the activity of the receptor in the absence of any agonist.
  • the synthesis of novel compounds which bind selectively to the cloned human melanin-concentrating hormone-1 (MCHl) receptor, compared to other cloned G-protein coupled receptors, and inhibit the activation of the cloned receptors as measured in in vi tro assays is disclosed.
