Agonist Comments
In competitive binding experiments, various lengths of QRFP inhibited the binding of [125I-Tyr32]QRFP with AQ27. QRFP(43) proved the most potent in competition with an IC50 of 0.52 nM. Deletion of the N-terminal sequence in QRFP gradually diminished its binding affinity to AQ27 and was almost parallel to the decrease of cAMP production-inhibitory activities [9].

Tissue Distribution Click here for help
GPR103 transcripts of 4.0, 2.6 and 1.4 kb were detected in the thalamus and hypothalamus, with a further 9.5 kb signal in the hypothalamus and a 1.4 kb signal in the pituitary. Transcripts were also observed in the frontal and occipital cortices, basal forebrain, midbrain and pons.

Both SP9155 (GPR103) receptor and the P518 (QRFP) precursor mRNAs exhibited highest expression in brain. Coordinate expression of receptor and ligand mRNAs in most brain regions, however, in peripheral tissues receptor was nonexistent or expressed at low levels. In brain, receptor most abundant in retina, trigeminal ganglion, hypothalamus, and vestibular nucleus, whereas peptide mRNA most abundant in cerebellum, medulla, retina, and vestibular nucleus. In peripheral tissues, significant expression of SP9155 receptor found only in heart, kidney, and testes RNAs. The P518 precursor mRNA was found in prostate, testes, colon, thyroid, parathyroid, coronary artery, and bladder

Quantitative autoradiography was used to measure binding of [125I]-QRFP43 in human tissues from a range of organs including heart, lungs, kidney and adrenal. Tissue profiling revealed a remarkably discrete distribution amongst the tissues tested with highest densities of specific [125I]-QRFP43 binding to adrenals predominately to the zona reticularis and glomerulosa. Specific binding was below the level for detection in the zona fasciculata of the cortex and medulla. Over the concentration range tested, [125I]-QRFP43 binding to zona reticularis was saturable. The ligand bound with high affinity (KD =1.06±0.7nM, mean±s.e.mean) with a Bmax of 51.6±5.7fmol mg-1 protein. A one site fit was preferred to a two-site model and Hill coefficients were close to unity (nH=1.2±0.2) indicating the ligand was binding with a single affinity.

Technique:  Radioligand binding.

SP9155 (GPR130A) receptor mRNA highly expressed in brain, particularly hypothalamus, cortex, and spinal cord. P518 (QRFP) precursor was expressed at low levels relative to the receptor. In peripheral tissues, both SP9155 and P518 precursor were found in low abundance.

Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of the mRNA distribution of QRFP, GPR103A, and GPR103B in 15 different mouse tissues: QRFP mRNA was detected in CNS, eye, and testis, whereas both GPR103 mRNAs were found in CNS, eye, testis, and adrenal gland. However, in situ hybridization shows little, if any, overlap in the distributions of GPR103A and GPR103B mRNA in brain.

26RFa recognition sites are widely distributed throughout the rat CNS, from the olfactory bulb to the spinal cord, whereas expression of GPR103A mRNA is more discrete, in particular in the thalamus, the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla oblongata, suggesting that 26RFa can bind to a receptor(s) other than GPR103A. Competition experiments confirmed that 26RFa interacts with an RFamide peptide receptor distinct from GPR103A that may be NPFF2. The wide distribution of 26RFa binding sites suggests that 26RFa has multiple functions in the CNS that are mediated by at least two distinct receptors. Note, however, that the authors appear to be unaware of the predicted GPR103B gene. Quantification of the autoradiographic signal has revealed that 26RFa receptors are particularly abundant in nuclei associated with feeding and arousal behavior, reproduction function, control of arterial blood pressure, and transmission and/or integration of olfactory, visual, and nociceptive stimuli.

Physiological Functions Click here for help
Central administration of QRFP in mice, induced feeding behaviour, accompanied by increased general locomotor activity, metabolic rate and influenced blood pressure. The orexigenic action of QRFP is at least partly mediated through the neuropeptide Y (NPY) pathway, and QRFP mRNA level was increased in genetically obese ob/ob and db/db mice.

Effects of 26RFa on gonadotropin secretion were evaluated in the rat by a combination of in vitro and in vivo approaches. At the pituitary, 26RFa dose-dependently enhanced basal and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-stimulated luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion from male and cyclic female rats. Intracerebral injection of 26RFa evoked a significant increase in serum LH levels in cyclic and ovariectomized females. Moreover, expression of the genes encoding 26RFa and its putative receptor, GPR103, was demonstrated in rat pituitary throughout postnatal development.

Effects of chronic administration of QRFP43 on feeding behaviour, body weight regulation, and energy expenditure in mice. Intracerebroventricular infusion of QRFP43 for 13d resulted in a significant increase in body weight and fat mass with hyperphagia. Weight gain and hyperphagia were more evident when mice were fed a moderately high-fat diet. Pair feeding of QRFP43-infused mice did not increase body weight but significantly increased fat mass and plasma concentrations of insulin, leptin, and cholesterol when compared with controls. Moreover, significant decreases in rectal temperature and expression of brown adipose tissue uncoupling protein-1 mRNA were observed in QRFP43-infused ad libitum- and pair-fed mice.

26RFa dose-dependently reduced glucose-induced insulin release, inhibited the insulin responses to both arginine and exendin-4 and did not affect glucagon output. The inhibitory effect of 26RFa on exendin-4-induced insulin secretion was not observed in pancreata from pertussis toxin-treated rats, thus suggesting that 26RFa may inhibit insulin secretion, at least in part, via a pertussis toxin-sensitive Gi protein coupled to the adenylyl cyclase system.

Intravenous injection of QRFP43 into rats stimulates aldosterone secretion. Human QRFP(43) at doses of 40–400 nmol/kg of weight increased plasma aldosterone levels 5–15 min after administration. Five minutes after administration, plasma aldosterone concentrations in the treated rats reached about 5 times those in the untreated rats and then gradually declined reaching the basal level at 60 min. Results indicate that QRFP acts directly on the zona glomerulosa to induce aldosterone secretion in rats.

Physiological Consequences of Altering Gene Expression Click here for help
GPR103A-/- mice exhibited a thinned osteochondral growth plate, a thickening of trabecular branches, and a reduction in osteoclast number, suggestive of an early arrest of osteochondral bone formation. Microcomputed tomography confirmed reduction in trabecular bone and connective tissue densities. Whole-body radiography followed by morphometric analysis revealed kyphosis in mutant animals. Reverse transcription-PCR showed GPR103 expression in human skull, mouse spine, and several osteoblast cell lines. Dexamethasone, inhibitor of osteoblast growth and inducer of osteoblast differentiation, inhibited GPR103 expression in human osteoblast primary cultures. These results suggest that osteopenia in GPR103-/- mice may be mediated directly by the loss of GPR103A expression in bone.

Gene Expression and Pathophysiology Comments
It has been recently shown that GPR103 and orexin receptors (OXRs) form constitutive and induced functional hetero-dimers at the neuronal level [5]. Treatment of the neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y with Aβ42 reduces the expression of GPR103 and OXRs. In accordance, GPR103/OXRs mRNA is down-regulated in the anterior hippocampus of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. These results suggest that a reduction in GPR103/OXRs hetero-dimers in AD patients may promote cellular damage resulting in memory defects [5].
