Product Description
Cortistatin-14 (CST-14), a recently discovered cyclic neuropeptide with neuronal depressant and sleep modulating properties, can bind to all five cloned somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) and ghrelin receptor to exert its biological activities and co-exists with GABA within the cortex and hippocampus. However, the role of CST-14 in the control of depression processes is not still clarified. CST-14 and BDNF mRNA are decreased in hippocampus and cortex once mice exposed to stress.-i.c.v. or intranasal administration of CST-14 produce rapid antidepressant effects.-NIR fluorescence imaging detected the brain uptake and distribution after intranasal CST-14.-Antidepressant effects of CST-14 were only related to ghrelin and GABAA system.-Co-injection of CST-14 and NPS produce antidepressant effect, and do not impair memory.
Introduction: Cortistatin-14 (CST-14) is a recently discovered cyclic neuropeptide with neuronal depressant and sleep modulating properties. It is mainly expressed in the cortex and hippocampus and has structural and functional similarities to somatostatin-14. CST-14 can bind to all five cloned somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) and the ghrelin receptor to exert its biological activities and coexists with GABA within the cortex and hippocampus. The neuropeptide has been studied for its antidepressant-like effects and potential applications in depression and sleep disorders.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Target: Cortistatin-14 targets all five cloned somatostatin receptors (sst1-sst5) and the ghrelin receptor. It exhibits binding affinity with IC50 values for somatostatin receptor binding: sst2 0.09 nM, sst4 0.2 nM, sst3 0.3 nM, sst5 0.3 nM, sst1 5 nM. The compound prevents somatostatin-14 binding at these receptors. It also binds to the ghrelin receptor to exert its biological activities.
ln Vitro
In Vitro Activity: Cortistatin-14 displays potency at all five somatostatin receptors with IC50 values ranging from 0.09 to 5 nM. It binds to the ghrelin receptor to exert its biological activities. The neuropeptide demonstrates neuronal depressant activity. CST-14 and BDNF mRNA are decreased in hippocampus and cortex once mice are exposed to stress. Detailed in vitro activity data are available from the primary literature.
ln Vivo
In Vivo Activity: Centrally administered Cortistatin-14 induces antidepressant-like effects in mice via mediating ghrelin and GABAA receptor signaling pathways. Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) or intranasal administration of CST-14 produces rapid antidepressant effects. NIR fluorescence imaging detected brain uptake and distribution after intranasal CST-14. Antidepressant effects of CST-14 are related to ghrelin and GABAA system. Co-injection of CST-14 and NPS produces antidepressant effects without impairing memory. In depression models, CST-14 produced antidepressant-like effects without altering locomotor activity levels.
Enzyme Assay
In Vitro Enzyme/Receptor Binding Protocol: Somatostatin receptor binding assays typically use membrane preparations from cells expressing specific SSTR subtypes. Radioligand binding with [125I]somatostatin-14 or similar ligands is performed with varying concentrations of Cortistatin-14 to determine IC50 values. Ghrelin receptor binding assays may also be performed using appropriate radioligands.
Cell Assay
In Vitro Cell-Based Assay Protocol: Cells expressing somatostatin receptors or ghrelin receptors are treated with Cortistatin-14 at various concentrations. Receptor activation and downstream signaling are measured using standard assays such as cAMP accumulation or calcium mobilization. Neuronal activity may be assessed using electrophysiological techniques. Gene expression changes including BDNF mRNA can be measured by qPCR.
Animal Protocol
In Vivo Animal Assay Protocol: Mouse models of depression are used to evaluate antidepressant-like effects. Cortistatin-14 is administered centrally (i.c.v.) or intranasally. Behavioral tests such as forced swim test, tail suspension test, or open field test are performed. NIR fluorescence imaging is used to detect brain uptake and distribution after intranasal administration. Stress-induced depression models may also be employed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetics: Cortistatin-14 has molecular formula C81H113N19O19S2 and molecular weight 1721.01. As a cyclic peptide, it is expected to have limited oral bioavailability and is typically administered parenterally (i.c.v. or intranasal). NIR fluorescence imaging has been used to detect brain uptake and distribution after intranasal administration.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicity: No detailed toxicity data are publicly available for Cortistatin-14. As an endogenous neuropeptide, it is expected to have a favorable safety profile. In animal studies, CST-14 produced antidepressant-like effects without altering locomotor activity levels. Standard toxicological evaluation would be required for therapeutic development. The compound is for research use only.
