The entire vasoactive intestinal polypeptide molecule is required for the activation of the vasoactive intestinal polypeptide receptor: functional and binding studies on opossum internal anal sphincter smooth muscle.

J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 266 , 392-399, (1993)

Because no significant information exists regarding the structure-activity of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) to gut smooth muscle, we performed functional studies in vitro on opossum internal anal sphincter (IAS) smooth muscle strips and supplemented...

Mechanisms of vasodilation elicited by VIP in sterically stabilized liposomes in vivo.

Am. J. Physiol. 273 , R287-292, (1997)

The purpose of this study was to begin to determine the mechanisms underlying vasodilation elicited by vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in sterically stabilized liposomes (SSL) in the in situ peripheral microcirculation. Using intravital microscopy, we fou...

Vasoactive intestinal peptide 1-12: a ligand for the CD4 (T4)/human immunodeficiency virus receptor.

J. Neurosci. Res. 18 , 102, (1987)

A five-amino-acid (TDNYT) sequence of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) shares homology with the proposed attachment sequences of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Synthetic peptides with these sequences have previously been shown to block viral e...

Inhibitory effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on phagocytosis in mouse peritoneal macrophages.

Regul. Pept. 54 , 457-466, (1994)

The effect of VIP on phagocytosis in peritoneal macrophages was examined by means of flow cytometry (FCM). This assay revealed that VIP suppressed phagocytosis in a dose-dependent manner. VIP(1-12) did not suppress phagocytosis. VIP(10-28) was more suppressiv...

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide stimulates the proliferation of HaCaT cell via TGF-alpha.

Neuropeptides 33 , 435-446, (1999)

It is well known that psoriasis, an immunogenetic cutaneous disorder whose major pathogenic findings are epidermal hyperplasia and T-cell infiltration, is aggravated by psychological stresses. Although the exact mechanism is not yet clarified, antidromic secr...
