Distinct Patterns of Internalization of Different Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Receptors.

ABSTRACT: Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a neuropeptide that is involved in the transmission of pain. Drugs targeting CGRP or a CGRP receptor are efficacious in the treatment of migraine. The canonical CGRP receptor is a complex of a G protein-coupled receptor, the calcitonin-like receptor (CLR), with an accessory protein, receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1). A second receptor, the AMY₁ receptor, a complex of the calcitonin receptor with RAMP1, is a dual high-affinity receptor for CGRP and amylin. Receptor regulatory processes, such as internalization, are crucial for controlling peptide and drug responsiveness. Given the importance of CGRP receptor activity in migraine we compared the internalization profiles of both receptors for CGRP using novel fluorescent probes and a combination of live cell imaging, fixed cell imaging, and ELISA. This revealed stark differences in the regulation of each receptor with the AMY₁ receptor unexpectedly showing little internalization.

Project description:ObjectiveTo summarize the pharmacology of the calcitonin peptide family of receptors and explore their relationship to migraine and current migraine therapies.BackgroundTherapeutics that dampen calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) signaling are now in clinical use to prevent or treat migraine. However, CGRP belongs to a broader peptide family, including the peptides amylin and adrenomedullin. Receptors for this family are complex, displaying overlapping pharmacologic profiles. Despite the focus on CGRP and the CGRP receptor in migraine research, recent evidence implicates related peptides and receptors in migraine.MethodsThis narrative review summarizes literature encompassing the current pharmacologic understanding of the calcitonin peptide family, and the evidence that links specific members of this family to migraine and migraine-like behaviors.ResultsRecent work links amylin and adrenomedullin to migraine-like behavior in rodent models and migraine-like attacks in individuals with migraine. We collate novel information that suggests females may be more sensitive to amylin and CGRP in the context of migraine-like behaviors. We report that drugs designed to antagonize the canonical CGRP receptor also antagonize a second CGRP-responsive receptor and speculate as to whether this influences therapeutic efficacy. We also discuss the specificity of current drugs with regards to CGRP isoforms and how this may influence therapeutic profiles. Lastly, we emphasize that receptors related to, but distinct from, the canonical CGRP receptor may represent underappreciated and novel drug targets.ConclusionMultiple peptides within the calcitonin family have been linked to migraine. The current focus on CGRP and its canonical receptor may be obscuring pathways to further therapeutics. Drug discovery schemes that take a wider view of the receptor family may lead to the development of new anti-migraine drugs with favorable clinical profiles. We also propose that understanding these related peptides and receptors may improve our interpretation regarding the mechanism of action of current drugs.
