Evidence for the existence of a functional Kiss1/Kiss1 receptor pathway in fish

TL;DR: This is the first report of the existence and characterization of the Kiss1 gene outside the mammalian taxa, suggesting that a functional Kiss1/Kiss1 receptor pathway is conserved across vertebrate species.

Kisspeptins and the placenta: regulation of trophoblast invasion

TL;DR: In the placenta, expression levels of kisspeptins and their receptor are highest in the first trimester in humans and at day 12.5 in rats, thus establishing an autocrine system in the invasion regulation of this trophoblast subpopulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Central and peripheral administration of kisspeptin activates gonadotropin but not somatotropin secretion in prepubertal gilts

TL;DR: The present data support the concept that kisspeptin plays a role in the mechanism involved in initiating puberty in swine and activate gonadotropic but not somatotropic hormone secretion in prepubertal gilts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maturation of luteinizing hormone (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) secretion across puberty: evidence for altered regulation in obese peripubertal girls

TL;DR: In later pubertal girls, obesity is linked with reduced LH amplitude, but elevated LH frequency; the latter may reflect effects of hyperandrogenemia.

Kisspeptin-10, a KISS1-Derived Decapeptide, Inhibits Tumor Angiogenesis by Suppressing Sp1-Mediated VEGF Expression and FAK/Rho GTPase Activation

TL;DR: It is shown that Kp-10 significantly inhibits human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) migration, invasion, and tube formation, key processes in angiogenesis, and suppresses VEGF expression by inhibiting the binding of specificity protein 1 to V EGF promoter and by blocking the activation of c-Src/focal adhesion kinase and Rac/Cdc42 signaling pathways in HUVECs, leading to the inhibition of tumor angiogenic

The GPR54 gene as a regulator of puberty

TL;DR: Puberty is initiated when gonadotropin-releasing hormone begins to be secreted by the hypothalamus, and complementary genetic approaches in humans and mice identified genetic factors that determine the onset of puberty.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism due to loss of function of the KiSS1-derived peptide receptor GPR54

TL;DR: The present study shows that loss of function of GPR54 is a cause of IHH, and it identifies GPR 54 and possibly KiSS1 protein-derived peptide as playing a major and previously unsuspected role in the physiology of the gonadotropic axis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The metastasis suppressor gene KiSS-1 encodes kisspeptins, the natural ligands of the orphan G protein-coupled receptor GPR54.

TL;DR: Stimulation of oxytocin secretion after kisspeptin administration to rats confirmed this hypothesis that human GPR54 was highly expressed in placenta, pituitary, pancreas, and spinal cord, suggesting a role in the regulation of endocrine function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metastasis suppressor gene KiSS-1 encodes peptide ligand of a G-protein-coupled receptor.

TL;DR: It is shown that KiSS-1 encodes a carboxy-terminally amidated peptide with 54 amino-acid residues, which is isolated from human placenta as the endogenous ligand of an orphan G-protein-coupled receptor (hOT7T175) and named ‘metastin’.

A Role for Kisspeptins in the Regulation of Gonadotropin Secretion in the Mouse

TL;DR: Kisspeptins are products of the KiSS-1 gene, which bind to a G protein-coupled receptor known as GPR54, and it is concluded that kisspeptin-GPR54 signaling may be part of the hypothalamus circuitry that governs the hypothalamic secretion of GnRH.
