Regulation of NKB pathways and their roles in the control of Kiss1 neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the male mouse
Open accessAbstract
Kisspeptin (Kiss1) and neurokinin B (NKB) (encoded by the Kiss1 and Tac2 genes, respectively) are indispensable for reproduction. In the female of many species, Kiss1 neurons in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) coexpress dynorphin A and NKB. Such cells have been termed Kiss1/NKB/Dynorphin (KNDy) neurons, which are thought to mediate the negative feedback regulation of GnRH/LH secretion by 17β-estradiol. However, we have less knowledge about the molecular physiology and regulation of Kiss1/Kiss1-expressing neurons in the ARC of the male. Our work focused on the adult male mouse, where we sought evidence for coexpression of these neuropeptides in cells in the ARC, assessed the role of Kiss1 neurons in negative feedback regulation of GnRH/LH secretion by testosterone (T), and investigated the action of NKB on KNDy and GnRH neurons. Results showed that 1) the mRNA encoding Kiss1, NKB, and dynorphin are coexpressed in neurons located in the ARC; 2) Kiss1 and dynorphin A mRNA are regulated by T through estrogen and androgen receptor-dependent pathways; 3) senktide, an agonist for the NKB receptor (neurokinin 3 receptor, encoded by Tacr3), stimulates gonadotropin secretion; 4) KNDy neurons express Tacr3, whereas GnRH neurons do not; and 5) senktide activates KNDy neurons but has no discernable effect on GnRH neurons. These observations corroborate the putative role for KNDy neurons in mediating the negative feedback effects of T on GnRH/LH secretion and provide evidence that NKB released from KNDy neurons is part of an auto-feedback loop that generates the pulsatile secretion of Kiss1 and GnRH in the male.

“Complete coexpression of kisspeptin, NKB and dynorphin is not always found (Hrabovszky et al., 2012; Navarro et al., 2011), but this issue is complicated by limitations in the sensitivity of detection (Ruka et al., 2013) and differential expression depending on developmental stage (Gill et al., 2012) or physiological state of the animal (Foradori et al., 2005; Navarro et al., 2011; Rance and Bruce”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
