Journal ArticleDOI
Prokineticin 2 transmits the behavioural circadian rhythm of the suprachiasmatic nucleus
Michelle Y. Cheng,Clayton M. Bullock,Chuanyu Li,Alex G. Lee,Jason C. Bermak,James D. Belluzzi,David R. Weaver,Frances M. Leslie,Qun-Yong Zhou +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that prokineticin 2 (PK2), a cysteine-rich secreted protein, functions as an output molecule from the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) circadian clock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of the melanin‐concentrating hormone (MCH) receptor mRNA in the rat brain
TL;DR: High levels of expression of MCHR mRNA are found in most anatomical areas implicated in control of olfaction, with the exception of the main olfactory bulb, which suggests that MCH may act at various levels of the brain to integrate various aspects of feeding behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dependence of olfactory bulb neurogenesis on prokineticin 2 signaling.
TL;DR: It is shown that secreted prokineticin 2 (PK2) functions as a chemoattractant for SVZ-derived neuronal progenitors within the OB, and may also act as a detachment signal for chain-migrating progenitor arriving from the RMS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optogenetic neuronal stimulation promotes functional recovery after stroke
Michelle Y. Cheng,Eric H Wang,Wyatt J. Woodson,Stephanie Wang,Guohua Sun,Alexander Lee,Ahmet Arac,Lief E. Fenno,Karl Deisseroth,Gary K. Steinberg +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that stimulation of neurons in the stroke hemisphere is sufficient to promote recovery and elucidating the cell type and mechanisms mediating recovery has been difficult because existing stimulation techniques nonspecifically target all cell types near the stimulated site.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attenuated circadian rhythms in mice lacking the Prokineticin 2 gene
Jia-Da Li,Wang-Ping Hu,Lisa N Boehmer,Michelle Y. Cheng,Alexander Lee,Alexander Jilek,Jerome M. Siegel,Qun-Yong Zhou +7 more
TL;DR: The generation and analysis of PK2-null mice conclude that PK2, acting as a SCN output factor, is important for the maintenance of robust circadian rhythms.
