Abstract

The effects of dipeptide cyclo-[His-Pro] (CHP), known to participate in the appetite behavior and food intake control, have been investigated using PC12 cells in culture as model system. We found that only in the presence of experimental conditions that cause cellular stress the cyclic dipeptide affect cellular proliferation and protects from apoptosis. It greatly enhances the phosphorylation of hsp27, alpha-B-crystallin, Cdc2, and p-38 MAPK, whereas it decreases the phosphorylation of MEK1, Cav 2, GSK3a, PKB/Akt, PKCdelta, PKCgamma, and Erk2. PKA and PKG are involved in ERK1/2 deactivation via a receptor that appears to be dually coupled to Gs and Gq protein subfamilies.
