Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-apoptotic actions of vasopressin in h32 neurons involve map kinase transactivation and bad phosphorylation

TL;DR: The data suggest that VP has anti-apoptotic activity in neurons and that VP may act as a neuroprotective agent in the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of Vasopressin V1b Receptor Translation By Upstream Open Reading Frames in the 5′-Untranslated Region

TL;DR: It is suggested that translation of a 38‐amino acid membrane peptide encoded by uORF1 exerts tonic inhibition of V1bR translation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Translational regulation of the vasopressin v1b receptor involves an internal ribosome entry site.

TL;DR: Regulation of IRES activity in the 5'UTR of the V1bR mRNA probably through phosphorylation of eIF4G may serve as a mechanism for rapid changes in V 1bR translation to meet physiological demands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vasopressin increases GAGA binding activity to the V1b receptor promoter through transactivation of the MAP kinase pathway.

TL;DR: The data support the hypothesis that VP contributes to pituitary V1bR upregulation during stress through GAGA binding-mediated transcriptional activation through transactivation of the EGFR and MAP kinase.
