Abstract
Modulators of orexin receptors are being developed for neurological illnesses such as sleep disorders, addictive behaviours and other psychiatric diseases. We herein describe the discovery of CVN766, a potent orexin 1 receptor antagonist that has greater than 1000-fold selectivity for the orexin 1 receptor over the orexin 2 receptor and demonstrates low off target hits in a diversity screen. In agreement with its in vitro ADME data, CVN766 demonstrated moderate in vivo clearance in rodents and displayed good brain permeability and target occupancy. This drug candidate is currently being investigated in clinical trials for schizophrenia and related psychiatric conditions.

Abstract
A preclinical study in animals has further characterised a new 'arousal' agent. Danavorexton (TAK-925) is an agonist for orexin receptor 2 where it promotes recovery from inhalational and i.v. anaesthesia and opioid sedation. Although danavorexton reverses opioid sedation, it does not compromise analgesia. This could be a useful addition to the postoperative drug cupboard.

Abstract
In rodents, orexin neuropeptides regulate motivation and reward-seeking via orexin 1 receptor (OX1R) signaling in the mesolimbic dopaminergic system. This role is clearly established for rewards inherent to drugs of abuse but less so for natural rewards. Reported effects of the selective OX1R antagonist (SO1RA) SB-334867 on motivation for palatable food are ambiguous. In our experimental conditions neither SB-334867, nor two additional, structurally different SO1RAs, ACT-335827 and the clinical development candidate nivasorexant, affected effort-based responding for sucrose in rats. The positive control lisdexamfetamine, approved for psychiatric disorders associated with altered reward sensitivity such as binge eating disorder, increased effort-based responding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed emergence from general anaesthesia, opioid-induced sedation, and opioid-induced respiratory depression is associated with perioperative complications. We characterised the preclinical effects of the orexin receptor 2 (OX2R)-selective agonist danavorexton (TAK-925) on emergence from anaesthesia and reversal of fentanyl-induced sedation, respiratory depression, and analgesia. METHODS Emergence from isoflurane- or propofol-induced anaesthesia and fentanyl-induced sedation were investigated by righting reflex, rotarod, and electroencephalography in rats or monkeys. Fentanyl-induced respiratory depression was assessed by arterial blood gas analysis and whole-body plethysmography in rats and monkeys. Analgesia was evaluated using formalin- and skin incision-induced pain models in rats. RESULTS Danavorexton shortened emergence from isoflurane- or propofol-induced anaesthesia and from fentanyl-induced sedation at 1 (P=0.005), 3 (P=0.006), and 3 mg kg-1 s.c. (P=0.022), respectively, by righting reflex in rats. Danavorexton (10 mg kg-1 s.c.) accelerated recovery from isoflurane-, propofol- and fentanyl-induced motor impairment in separate rotarod tests in rats (P=0.008, P=0.007, P=0.017, respectively), and reversed anaesthesia and fentanyl-induced delta-power increases. Danavorexton shortened emergence (return of righting reflex) from isoflurane- or propofol-induced anaesthesia at 1 (P=0.002) and 3 mg kg-1 (P=0.004), respectively, in cynomolgus monkeys. Danavorexton (10 mg kg-1 s.c.) reversed fentanyl-induced increase in Pco2 (P=0.006), and decrease in Po2 (P=0.015) and pH (P<0.001) in rats, and at 3 mg kg-1 s.c. reversed fentanyl-induced increase in Pco2 (P=0.007), and decrease in Po2 (P=0.013) and SO2 (P=0.036) in monkeys. Danavorexton increased minute volume and tidal volume in fentanyl-treated animals. Danavorexton at ≤10 mg kg-1 s.c. did not compromise fentanyl analgesia in rat formalin- and skin incision-induced pain models. CONCLUSIONS Danavorexton promoted recovery from anaesthesia and fentanyl-induced sedation, and antagonised fentanyl-induced respiratory depression without compromising fentanyl analgesia.

Abstract
The orexin system consists of two neuropeptides (orexins A and B) and two receptors (OX1 and OX2). Selective OX1 receptor antagonists (SO1RA) are gaining interest for their potential use in the treatment of CNS disorders, including substance abuse, eating, obsessive compulsive, or anxiety disorders. While blocking OX2 reduces wakefulness, the expected advantage of selectively antagonizing OX1 is the ability to achieve clinical efficacy without the promotion of sleep. Herein we report our discovery efforts starting from a dual orexin receptor antagonist and describe a serendipitous finding that triggered a medicinal chemistry program that culminated in the identification of the potent SO1RA ACT-539313. Efficacy in a rat model of schedule-induced polydipsia supported the decision to select the compound as a preclinical candidate. Nivasorexant (20) represents the first SO1RA to enter clinical development and completed a first proof of concept phase II clinical trial in binge eating disorder in 2022.

Abstract
Sleep is essential for human well-being, yet the quality and quantity of sleep reduce as age advances. Older persons (>65 years old) are more at risk of disorders accompanied and/or exacerbated by poor sleep. Furthermore, evidence supports a bidirectional relationship between disrupted sleep and Alzheimer's disease (AD) or related dementias. Orexin/hypocretin neuropeptides stabilize wakefulness, and several orexin receptor antagonists (ORAs) are approved for the treatment of insomnia in adults. Dysregulation of the orexin system occurs in aging and AD, positioning ORAs as advantageous for these populations. Indeed, several clinical studies indicate that ORAs are efficacious hypnotics in older persons and dementia patients and, as in adults, are generally well tolerated. ORAs are likely to be more effective when administered early in sleep/wake dysregulation to reestablish good sleep/wake-related behaviors and reduce the accumulation of dementia-associated proteinopathic substrates. Improving sleep in aging and dementia represents a tremendous opportunity to benefit patients, caregivers, and health systems.

Abstract
The orexin/hypocretin receptor type 1 (OX1R) plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological functions, especially feeding behavior, addiction, and reward. Genetic variations in the OX1R have been associated with several neurological disorders. In this study, we utilized a combination of sequence and structure-based computational tools to identify the most deleterious missense single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the OX1R gene. Our findings revealed four highly conserved and structurally destabilizing missense SNPs, namely R144C, I148N, S172W, and A297D, located in the GTP-binding domain. Molecular dynamics simulations analysis demonstrated that all four most detrimental mutant proteins altered the overall structural flexibility and dynamics of OX1R protein, resulting in significant changes in the structural organization and motion of the protein. These findings provide valuable insights into the impact of missense SNPs on OX1R function loss and their potential contribution to the development of neurological disorders, thereby guiding future research in this field.

Abstract
Orexin A (OX-A) and orexin B are neuropeptides produced in orexin neurons located in the lateral hypothalamus that exert multiple biological functions through the activation of orexin receptor 1 (OX1R) and orexin receptor 2 (OX2R) throughout the central nervous system. OX1R and OX2R have distinct functions: OX1R is involved in reward seeking, whereas OX2R has a pivotal role in sleep/wake regulation. OX2R-selective agonists are in development as novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of hypersomnia. However, their potential to induce orexin release, which may indirectly stimulate both OX1R and OX2R in vivo, is unclear. Herein, we assessed the effects of the OX2R-selective agonist TAK-994 on wakefulness and orexin release in monkeys. Oral administration of TAK-994 at 10 mg/kg in the beginning of the sleep phase (zeitgeber time [ZT] 12) significantly increased wakefulness time in monkeys but did not increase OX-A levels in monkey cisternal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Moreover, oral administration of TAK-994 (10 mg/kg) during the active phase (ZT1) did not increase OX-A levels in monkey CSF. These findings indicate that the OX2R agonist TAK-994 selectively activates OX2R in vivo and would not robustly induce spontaneous orexin release during the daytime or nighttime in monkeys.

Abstract
Repeated use of methamphetamine (METH) causes severe effects on the central nervous system, associated with an increased relapse rate. The orexinergic system is highly implicated in the reward circuitry and may be a promising target for treating psychostimulant dependency. The present study aimed to investigate the involvement of the orexin system, mainly the orexin-2 receptors (OX2R) in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) in the extinction and reinstatement of METH-seeking behavior using a conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm. To this end, animals received METH (1 mg/kg; sc) for a 5-day conditioning period. Then, in the first set of experiments, different groups of rats were given intra-VTA TCS OX2 29 (1, 3, 10, or 30 nmol/0.3 μl DMSO) as an OX2R antagonist over a 10-day extinction period. In another experiment, after the extinction period, a different set of animals received a single dose of TCS OX2 29 (1, 3, 10, or 30 nmol) before the priming dose of METH (0.25 mg/kg; sc) on the reinstatement day. The results revealed that TCS OX2 29 (10 and 30 nmol) remarkably facilitated the extinction of rewarding properties of METH (P < 0.001 for both doses). Furthermore, TCS OX2 29 (3, 10, or 30 nmol) significantly suppressed the METH-induced reinstatement (3 nmol; P < 0.05, 10 nmol; P < 0.01, and 30 nmol; P < 0.001). In conclusion, the current study revealed that the orexinergic system, specifically the VTA OX2R, is involved in METH-seeking behaviors and that manipulation of this system can be considered a potential therapeutics in treating METH dependency.

Abstract
Chronic opioid use disturbs circadian rhythm and sleep, encouraging opioid use and relapse. The orexin (OX) system is recruited by opioids and regulates physiological processes including sleep. Dual OX receptor antagonists (DORAs), developed for insomnia treatment, may relieve withdrawal-associated sleep disturbances. This study investigated whether DORA-12, a recently developed DORA, reduces physiological activity disturbances during oxycodone abstinence and consequently prevents oxycodone-seeking behavior. Male and female Wistar rats were trained to intravenously self-administer oxycodone (0.15 mg/kg, 21 sessions; 8 h/session) in the presence of a contextual/discriminative stimulus (SD). The rats were subsequently housed individually (22 h/day) to monitor activity, food and water intake. They received DORA-12 (0-30 mg/kg, p.o.) after undergoing daily 1-h extinction training (14 days). After extinction, the rats were tested for oxycodone-seeking behavior elicited by the SD. Hypothalamus sections were processed to assess oxycodone- or DORA-12-associated changes to the OX cell number. In males, oxycodone-associated increases in activity during the light-phase, reinstatement, and decreases in the number of OX cells observed in the vehicle-treated group were not observed with DORA-12-treatment. Oxycodone-associated increases in light-phase food and water intake were not observed by day 14 of 3 mg/kg DORA-12-treatment and dark-phase water intake was increased across treatment days. In females, OX cell number was unaffected by oxycodone or DORA-12. Three and 30 mg/kg DORA-12 increased females' day 7 dark-phase activity and decreased reinstatement. Thirty mg/kg DORA-12 reduced oxycodone-associated increases in light-phase food and water intake. The results suggest that DORA-12 improves oxycodone-induced disruptions to physiological activities and reduces relapse.

Abstract
Studies establish that the brain's Orexin system is involved in pain modulation. Orexin-1 and orexin-2 receptors (OX1 and OX2r, respectively) are essential in responsiveness to stressful stimuli. Some evidence indicates that the hippocampus's dentate gyrus (DG) potentially modulates pain and stress. The present study examined the involvement of OX1 and OX2 receptors within the DG in response to acute pain after exposure to forced swim stress (FSS). Five to seven days post-stereotaxic surgery, the baseline tail-flick latency (TFL) was taken from the animal, then rats unilaterally received through an implanted cannula either different doses of OX1r antagonist (SB334867; 1, 3, 10, and 30 nmol), OX2r antagonist (TCS OX2 29; 1, 3, 10 and 30 nmol), or vehicle (0.5 μl solution of 12% DMSO). After 5 min, rats were exposed to the FSS for six minutes. Subsequently, the tail-flick test was conducted, and the TFLs were measured at the 60-min time set intervals. Results indicated that FSS produces antinociceptive responses in the tail-flick test. Two-way ANOVA analysis showed that Microinjection of OX1r and OX2r antagonists into the DG region of the brain reduced FSS-induced analgesia in the tail-flick test. The decrement effects of these two antagonists were almost the same. Additionally, results showed that the role of both receptors was the same in modulating stress-induced analgesia (SIA). These findings show that the orexin system in the hippocampal DG region might be partially involved in the SIA in acute pain.

Abstract
Orexin, also known as hypocretin, is an excitatory neuropeptide secreted by the hypothalamus. Orexin is divided into orexin-A (OXA) and orexin-B (OXB), which are derived from a common precursor secreted by hypothalamic neurons. Orexin acts on orexin receptor-1 (OX1R) and orexin receptor-2 (OX2R). Orexin neurons, as well as receptors, are widely distributed in various regions of the brain as well as in the peripheral system and have a wider range of functions. This paper reviews the latest research results of orexin in the aspects of food intake, sleep, addiction, depression and anxiety. Because orexin has certain physiological functions in many systems, we further explored the possibility of orexin as a new target for the treatment of bulimia, anorexia nervosa, insomnia, lethargy, anxiety and depression. It is precisely because orexin has physiological functions in multiple systems that orexin, as a new target for the treatment of the above diseases, has potential contradictions. For example, it promotes the function of 1 system and may inhibit the function of another system. How to study a new drug, which can not only treat the diseases of this system, but also do not affect other system functions, is what we need to focus on.

Abstract
Despite progress in understanding the pathological mechanisms underlying psychiatric disorders, translation from animal models into clinical use remains a significant bottleneck. Preclinical studies have implicated the orexin neuropeptide system as a potential target for psychiatric disorders through its role in regulating emotional, cognitive, and behavioral processes. Clinical studies are investigating orexin modulation in addiction and mood disorders. Here we review performance-outcome measures (POMs) arising from experimental medicine research methods which may show promise as markers of efficacy of orexin receptor modulators in humans. POMs provide objective measures of brain function, complementing patient-reported or clinician-observed symptom evaluation, and aid the translation from preclinical to clinical research. Significant challenges include the development, validation, and operationalization of these measures. We suggest that collaborative networks comprising clinical practitioners, academics, individuals working in the pharmaceutical industry, drug regulators, patients, patient advocacy groups, and other relevant stakeholders may provide infrastructure to facilitate validation of experimental medicine approaches in translational research and in the implementation of these approaches in real-world clinical practice.

Abstract
In 2014, we proposed that orexin signaling transformed motivationally relevant states into adaptive behavior directed toward exploiting an opportunity or managing a threat, a process we referred to as motivational activation. Advancements in animal models since then have permitted higher-resolution measurements of motivational states; in particular, the behavioral economics approach for studying drug demand characterizes conditions that lead to the enhanced motivation that underlies addiction. This motivational plasticity is paralleled by persistently increased orexin expression in a topographically specific manner-a finding confirmed across species, including in humans. Normalization of orexin levels also reduces drug motivation in addiction models. These new advancements lead us to update our proposed framework for the orexin function. We now propose that the capacity of orexin neurons to exhibit dynamic shifts in peptide production contributes to their role in adaptive motivational regulation and that this is achieved via a pool of reserve orexin neurons. This reserve is normally bidirectionally recruited to permit motivational plasticity that promotes flexible, adaptive behavior. In pathological states such as addiction, however, we propose that the orexin system loses capacity to adaptively adjust peptide production, resulting in focused hypermotivation for drug, driven by aberrantly and persistently high expression in the orexin reserve pool. This mechanistic framework has implications for the understanding and treatment of several psychiatric disorders beyond addiction, particularly those characterized by motivational dysfunction.

Abstract
The orexin (hypocretin) is one of the hypothalamic neuropeptides that plays a critical role in some behaviors including feeding, sleep, arousal, reward processing, and drug addiction. This variety of functions can be described by a united function for orexins in translating states of heightened motivation, for example during physiological requirement states or following exposure to reward opportunities, into planned goal-directed behaviors. An addicted state is characterized by robust activation of orexin neurons from the environment, which triggers downstream circuits to facilitate behavior directed towards obtaining the drug. Two orexin receptors 1 (OX1R) and 2 (OX2R) are widely distributed in the brain. Here, we will introduce and describe the cortical and subcortical brain areas involved in addictive-like behaviors and the impact of orexin on addiction.

Abstract
Preclinical research has sought to understand the role of the orexin system in cocaine addiction given the connection between orexin producing cells in the lateral hypothalamus and brain limbic areas. Exogenous administration of orexin peptides increased cocaine self-administration whereas selective orexin-1 receptor antagonists reduced cocaine self-administration in non-human animals. The first clinically available orexin antagonist, suvorexant (a dual orexin-1 and orexin-2 receptor antagonist), attenuated motivation for cocaine and cocaine conditioned place preference, as well as cocaine-associated impulsive responding, in rodents. This study aimed to translate those preclinical findings and determine whether suvorexant maintenance altered the pharmacodynamic effects of cocaine in humans. Seven non-treatment seeking subjects with cocaine use disorder completed this within-subject human laboratory study, and a partial data set was obtained from one additional subject. Subjects were maintained for at least three days on 0, 5, 10 and 20 mg oral suvorexant administered at 2230 h daily in random order. Subjects completed experimental sessions in which cocaine self-administration of 0, 10 and 30 mg/70 kg of intravenous cocaine was evaluated on a concurrent progressive ratio drug versus money choice task. Subjective and physiological effects of cocaine were also determined. Cocaine functioned as a reinforcer and produced prototypic dose-related subjective and physiological effects (e.g., increased ratings of "Stimulated" and heart rate). Suvorexant (10, 20 mg) increased self-administration of 10 mg/70 kg cocaine and decreased oral temperature but did not significantly alter any other effects of cocaine. Future research may seek to evaluate the effects of orexin-1 selective antagonists in combination with cocaine.

Abstract
Suvorexant (Belsomra(R)), a dual orexin receptor antagonist widely used in the treatment of insomnia, inhibits the arousal system in the brain. However, the drug's ventilatory effects have not been fully explored. This study aims to investigate the expression of orexin receptors in respiratory neurons and the effects of suvorexant on ventilation. Immunohistology of brainstem orexin receptor OX2R expression was performed in adult mice (n=4) in (1) rostral ventral respiratory group (rVRG) neurons projecting to the phrenic nucleus (PhN) retrogradely labeled by Fluoro-Gold (FG) tracer, (2) neurons immunoreactive for paired like homeobox 2b (Phox2b) in the parafacial respiratory group/retrotrapezoid nucleus (pFRG/RTN), and (3) neurons immunoreactive for neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) and somatostatin (SST) in the preBötzinger complex (preBötC). Additionally, we measured in vivo ventilatory responses to hyperoxic hypercapnia (5% CO2) and hypoxia (10% O2) before and after suvorexant pretreatment (10 and cumulative 100 mg/kg) in unrestrained mice (n=10) in a body plethysmograph. We found the OX2R immunoreactive materials in pFRG/RTN Phox2b and preBötC NK1R/SST immunoreactive neurons but not in FG-labeled rVRG neurons, which suggests the involvement of orexin in respiratory control. Further, suvorexant expressly suppressed the hypercapnic ventilatory augmentation, otherwise unaffecting ventilation. Central orexin is involved in shaping the hypercapnic ventilatory chemosensitivity. Suppression of hypercapnic ventilatory augmentation by the orexin receptor antagonist suvorexant calls for caution in its use in pathologies that may progress to hypercapnic respiratory failure, or sleep-disordered breathing. Clinical trials are required to explore the role of targeted pharmacological inhibition of orexin in ventilatory pathologies.

Abstract
Post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis is characterized by cartilage degeneration, subchondral bone remodeling, osteophyte formation, and synovial changes. Therapeutic targeting of inflammatory activity in the knee immediately post injury may alter the course of osteoarthritis development. This study aimed to determine whether CD200R1 agonists, namely the protein therapeutic CD200Fc or the synthetic DNA aptamer CCS13, both known to act as anti-inflammatory agents, are able to delay the pathogenesis of injury-associated knee osteoarthritis in a murine model. Ten week old male C57BL/6 mice were randomized and surgical destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) to induce knee arthritis or sham surgery as a control were performed. CCS13 was evaluated as a therapeutic treatment along with CD200Fc and a phosphate-buffered saline vehicle control. Oligonucleotides were injected intra-articularly beginning one week after surgery, with a total of six injections administered prior to sacrifice at 12 weeks post-surgery. Histopathological assessment was used as the primary outcome measure to assess cartilage and synovial changes, while µCT imaging was used to compare the changes to the subchondral bone between untreated and treated arthritic groups. We did not find any attenuation of cartilage degeneration or synovitis in DMM mice with CD200Fc or CCS13 at 12 weeks post-surgery, nor stereological differences in the properties of subchondral bone. The use of CD200R1 agonists to blunt the inflammatory response in the knee are insufficient to prevent disease progression in the mouse DMM model of OA without anatomical restoration of the normal joint biomechanics.

Abstract
At the end of the 20th century, two new neuropeptides (Orexin-A/hypocretin-1 and Orexin-B/hypocretins-2) expressed in hypothalamus as a prepro-orexins precursor, were discovered. These two neuropeptides interacted with two G protein-coupled receptor isoforms named OX1R and OX2R. The orexins/OX receptors system play an important role in the central and peripheral nervous system where it controls wakefulness, addiction, reward seeking, stress, motivation, memory, energy homeostasis, food intake, blood pressure, hormone secretions, reproduction, gut motility and lipolysis. Orexins and their receptors are involved in pathologies including narcolepsy type I, neuro- and chronic inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic syndrome, and cancers. Associated with these physiopathological roles, the extensive development of pharmacological molecules including OXR antagonists, has emerged in association with the determination of the structural properties of orexins and their receptors. Moreover, the identification of OX1R expression in digestive cancers encompassing colon, pancreas and liver cancers and its ability to trigger mitochondrial apoptosis in tumoral cells, indicate a new putative therapeutical action of orexins and paradoxically OXR antagonists. The present review focuses on structural and anti-tumoral aspects of orexins and their receptors.

Abstract
Hypothalamic neuropeptides named hypocretin/orexins which were identified in 1998 regulate critical functions such as wakefulness in the central nervous system. These past 20 years had revealed that orexins/receptors system was also present in the peripheral nervous system where they participated to the regulation of multiple functions including blood pressure regulation, intestinal motility, hormone secretion, lipolyze and reproduction functions. Associated to these peripheral functions, it was found that orexins and their receptors were involved in various diseases such as acute/chronic inflammation, metabolic syndrome and cancers. The present review suggests that orexins or the orexin neural circuitry represent potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of multiple pathologies related to inflammation including intestinal bowel disease, multiple sclerosis and septic shock, obesity and digestive cancers.

Abstract
Orexins/hypocretins are hypothalamic neuropeptides that promote and stabilize wakefulness by binding to the orexin receptor type-1 (OX1R) and type-2 (OX2R). Disruption of orexinergic signaling results in the sleep disorder narcolepsy in mice, rats, dogs, and humans. The orexin receptor antagonist suvorexant promotes sleep by blocking both OX1R and OX2R. Whereas suvorexant has been clinically approved for the treatment of insomnia because it is well tolerated in experimental animals as well as in human patients, a logical question remains as to why orexin receptor antagonists do not induce overt narcolepsy-like symptoms. Here we show that acute and chronic suvorexant promotes both rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM) sleep without inducing cataplexy in mice. Interestingly, chronic suvorexant increases OX2R mRNA and decreases orexin mRNA and peptide levels, which remain low long after termination of suvorexant administration. When mice are chronically treated with suvorexant and then re-challenged with the antagonist after a 1-week washout, however, cataplexy and sleep-onset REM (SOREM) are observed, which are exacerbated by chocolate administration. Heterozygous orexin knockout mice, with lower brain orexin levels, show cataplexy and SOREM after acute suvorexant administration. Furthermore, we find that acute suvorexant can induce cataplexy and SOREM in wild-type mice when co-administered with chocolate under stress-free (temporally anesthetized) conditions. Taken together, these results suggest that suvorexant can inhibit orexin synthesis resulting in susceptibility to narcolepsy-like symptoms in mice under certain conditions.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Hypnotic medications can adversely affect behavior during unanticipated awakenings during the night. Animals treated with the hypocretin (Hcrt) receptor antagonist almorexant (ALM) have less acute cognitive impairment compared to the GABAA receptor modulator zolpidem (ZOL). This study aimed to determine whether ALM produces less acute cognitive impairment than ZOL in human subjects. METHODS Healthy, young adult, unmedicated male and female subjects participated in a controlled trial of a single dose of ALM 100 mg (N = 48), ALM 200 mg (N = 53), ZOL 10 mg (N = 49), and placebo (PBO, N = 52). RESULTS ZOL and both doses of ALM produced similar levels of subjective sleepiness and impaired the ability of subjects to remain awake in a dark, low-stimulus setting relative to PBO. For most cognitive measures, performance under ZOL was significantly worse than ALM or PBO. For tasks involving verbal memory or visual-motor coordination, ZOL impaired performance, whereas the two doses of ALM were no different than PBO. For tasks involving higher-order executive function, ZOL produced impairment in processing speed and inhibitory control, whereas the two doses of ALM were no different than PBO. Performance decrements for ALM were less than ZOL but greater than PBO for some reaction time measures. CONCLUSIONS The data provide support for the hypothesis that Hcrt receptor antagonists produce less functional impairment than a benzodiazepine receptor agonist (BzRA). These observations are particularly relevant to patients treated with sedative-hypnotics who are at elevated risk for falls and other untoward events during the intended hours for sleep.

Abstract
Orexin receptor antagonists are clinically useful for treating insomnia, but thorough blockade of orexin signaling could cause narcolepsy-like symptoms. Specifically, while sleepiness is a desirable effect, an orexin antagonist could also produce cataplexy, sudden episodes of muscle weakness often triggered by strong, positive emotions. In this study, we examined the effects of dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs), lemborexant (E2006) and almorexant, on sleep-wake behavior and cataplexy during the dark period in wild-type (WT) mice and prepro-orexin knockout (OXKO) mice. In WT mice, lemborexant at 10 and 30 mg/kg quickly induced NREM sleep in a dose-dependent fashion. In contrast, lemborexant did not alter sleep-wake behavior in OXKO mice. Under the baseline condition, cataplexy was rare in lemborexant-treated WT mice, but when mice were given chocolate as a rewarding stimulus, lemborexant dose-dependently increased cataplexy. Almorexant produced similar results. Collectively, these results demonstrate that DORAs potently increase NREM and REM sleep in mice via blockade of orexin signaling, and higher doses can cause cataplexy when co-administered with a likely rewarding stimulus.

Abstract
Orexins comprise two neuropeptides produced by orexin neurons in the lateral hypothalamus and are released by extensive projections of these neurons throughout the central nervous system. Orexins bind and activate their associated G protein-coupled orexin type 1 receptors (OX1Rs) and OX2Rs and act on numerous physiological processes, such as sleep-wake regulation, feeding, reward, emotion, and motivation. Research on the development of orexin receptor antagonists has dramatically increased with the approval of suvorexant for the treatment of primary insomnia. In the present review, we discuss recent findings on the involvement of the orexin system in the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders, including sleep disorders, depression, anxiety, and drug addiction. We discuss the actions of orexin receptor antagonists, including selective OX1R antagonists (SORA1s), selective OX2R antagonists (SORA2s), and dual OX1/2R antagonists (DORAs), in the treatment of these disorders based on both preclinical and clinical evidence. SORA2s and DORAs have more pronounced efficacy in the treatment of sleep disorders, whereas SORA1s may be promising for the treatment of anxiety and drug addiction. We also discuss potential challenges and opportunities for the application of orexin receptor antagonists to clinical interventions.

Abstract
CD200 is an immunoglobulin superfamily membrane protein that binds to a myeloid cell-specific receptor and induces inhibitory signaling. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of CD200 and its receptor (CD200R1) on kidney transplant (KTx) outcome. In a collective of 125 kidney recipients (University hospital, Heidelberg, Germany), CD200 and CD200R1 concentrations were evaluated immediately before transplantation. Recipient baseline and clinical characteristics and KTx outcome, including acute rejection (AR), acute tubular necrosis, delayed graft function, cytomegalovirus (CMV) and human polyomaviridae (BK) virus infections, and graft loss were evaluated during the first post-transplant year. The association of CD200 and CD200R1 concentrations and CD200R1/CD200 ratios with the outcome of KTx was investigated for the first time in a clinical setting in a prospective cohort. There was a positive association between pre-transplant CD200R1 concentrations and CMV (re)activation (P = .041). Also, increased CD200R1 concentration was associated with a longer duration of CMV infection (P = .049). Both the frequency of AR and levels of creatinine (3 and 6 months after KTx) were significantly higher in patients with an increased CD200R1/CD200 ratio (median: 126 vs 78, P = .008). Increased pre-transplant CD200R1/CD200 ratios predict immunocompetence and risk of AR, whereas high CD200R1 concentrations predict immunosuppression and high risk of severe CMV (re)activation after KTx.

Abstract
Corticoliberin (CRF) isn't only regulates hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity, but also functions as a neurotransmitter in extrahypothalamic brain regions like amygdala, implicated in the emotional responses to stress. The CRF system provides an input to orexin neurons and can modulate the activity of orexinergic neurons in stress response. Some data showed the role of orexin-A in extinction of aversive memory. The orexin system was shown to participate in stress-induced behavior connected with the extended amygdala structures, like central nucleus of the amygdala. The objective was to study the effects of orexin-A antagonist SB-408124 in rats after predator-induced stress using behavioral tests and its effects on CRF level in amygdala. In this study 30 male Wistar rats were used. The animals received an intranasally selective antagonist of Orexin receptor 1 type SB-408124. Posttraumatic stress disorder was modelled by single predator exposure. A group of 10-12 rats were placed in a terrarium with an indian python. 7 days after exposure to the predator, the behavior of animals was tested in the Open Field and Elevated Cross-Maze tests. Free motor activity of animals was studied in the "open field" test. To assess stress, we used the "elevated cross-maze " test. CRF concentrations in brain structures were measured by solid-phase ELISA using the Corticotropin Releasing Factor (CRF) test system. In the group of stressed rats receiving intranasally SB-408124, the time of stay in the light arm was restored, but did not reach the control values, the number of runs was restored to the control level, and the number of grooming acts increased in comparison with both the control group and the stressed animals. In the "open field" in the group of stressed rats receiving saline solution, the number of sniffs and rearing were decreased, but the number of peeks into holes was increased. In the group of stressed rats receiving SB-408124 20 µg intranasally, the number of sniffs was increased and the number of hole peeking decreased in comparison with the stressed rats receiving saline solution. The CRF level in the homogenates of amygdala in stressed rats was lower (0.44±0.07 ng/mg protein vs. 0.61±0.01 ng/mg in the control group). In the intranasal administration of SB408124 group this decrease was not recorded and the CRF level in the amygdala was 0.57±0.01 pg/mg protein. Orexin A antagonist SB-408124 reduced anxiety after psychotraumatic exposure. Predator induced acute psychotraumatic exposure decrease CRF level in the rat's amygdala. Intranasal administration of selective orexin 1 receptor antagonist SB408124 restored it closely to normal and has an anxiolytic effect on animal behaviour.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CD200 and its receptor CD200R are both type I membrane glycoproteins that modulate the activity of myeloid and lymphoid cells, and their interaction is functionally important in the suppression of effector T-cell responses by regulatory T-cells. We aimed to investigate the extent of expression of CD200 and CD200R1 on CD4+ T-cells in blood of children with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) and to explore their correlations with effector T cell subsets, regulatory T cells (Treg), and routine clinical and serological markers. METHODS The frequencies of blood CD4+ expressing CD200 and CD200R1 as well as T-helper CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg, CD4+ IL-17+ (Th17), CD4+ IFN-γ + (Th1), and CD4+IL-4+ (Th2) were estimated by flow cytometry in 23 patients with CD, 14 with UC, and 14 healthy volunteers (HCs). The clinical and inflammatory markers were also investigated. RESULTS IBD patients showed decreased CD4+CD200R1+ T-cells, whereas, CD4+CD200+ T-cells were significantly higher in patient groups compared with healthy controls. Treg cells were found significantly decreased in the patients with UC and CD compared with healthy controls (both at p < 0.01). The percentage of Th17 was found significantly increased in CD (p < 0.05) compared with UC patients and healthy subjects (p = 0.014). CD200+CD4+ T-cells showed significant positive correlations with ESR, Th1, and Th17 (r = 0.438, p < 0.05; r = 0.411, p < 0.05; r = 0.492, p < 0.01, respectively). CD200R1+CD4+ T-cells correlated positively with Th2 and Treg (r = 0.482, p < 0.01, and r = 0.457, p < 0.01, respectively) and negatively with ESR (r = -0.387, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates an aberrant expression of CD200/CD200R1 on CD4+ T-cells in IBD patients and these data may have potent pathological significance in IBD pathophysiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND COPD represents a multifactorial lung disorder with high morbidity and mortality. Despite intensive research concerning the underlying disease mechanisms, the involvement of the CD200/CD200R axis in supporting or preventing the onset of COPD has not yet been addressed. Since the CD200/CD200R axis is crucially implicated in the maintenance of pulmonary immune homeostasis, we hypothesized that it might be involved in controlling the onset of COPD. METHODS To address this, we analyzed the serum samples from COPD patients and normal controls for soluble (s) CD200 and correlated the data to COPD-relevant clinical parameters. In addition, basic studies were conducted in CD200-deficient and wild-type mice in which COPD-like inflammation was induced with elastase/LPS followed by lung and serum component analysis. RESULTS We observed a positive correlation between serum sCD200 and IL-6 levels as well as a trend toward a negative correlation of sCD200 with vitamin D3 in COPD patients. Further investigations in mice revealed that despite elevated serum concentration of MMP-9 in CD200KO mice, the early onset of COPD-like lung inflammation was similar in CD200-deficient and wild-type animals in terms of immune cell infiltration, emphysematous changes, and mucus overproduction. CONCLUSIONS While our murine studies suggest that the co-inhibitory molecule CD200 does not appear to play a prominent role in the early onset of COPD-like features, correlation of sCD200 serum levels with COPD-related parameters in humans with established disease revealed that the CD200/CD200R axis may be mechanistically linked to the disease course in COPD patients.

Abstract
The risk of cluster headache (CH) is associated with the G-allele of the G1246A polymorphism in the hypocretin receptor 2 ( HCRTR2) gene. First-line medication is effective in only about 70-80% of CH patients. We hypothesized that the HCRTR2 G1246A polymorphism is also of pharmacogenetic relevance in CH and may affect treatment response. We performed a prospective cohort study among 184 unrelated White CH patients. While the HCRTR2 1246G allele was significantly associated with CH in this group, treatment outcomes with triptans, oxygen, verapamil and corticosteroids remained unaffected. Our results do not support a role of the HCRTR2 G1246A polymorphism in drug responses in CH.

Abstract
Studies in experimental animals have suggested that the hypocretin/orexin system may be involved in migraine pathophysiology. Using a case-control design study, we genotyped 246 migraine patients and 239 healthy controls for the 1246G→A polymorphism of the hypocretin receptor 2 ( HCRTR2) gene. Genotypic and allelic frequencies of the examined polymorphism were similarly distributed between cases and controls (χ2 = 2.22, P = 0.14 and χ2 = 2.45, P = 0.29, respectively). When different migraine subgroups were compared (migraine with aura vs. migraine without aura and episodic vs. chronic migraine) no significant difference was found. Comparison of the clinical features of the disease with the 1246G→A genotypes showed no significant difference. Our data suggest that the HCRTR2 gene is not a genetic risk factor in migraine.

Abstract
We studied whether blockade of inhibitory receptors on cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells by immune checkpoint inhibitors could increase its anti-tumour potency against haematological malignancies. CIK cultures were generated from seven normal donors and nine patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) or multiple myeloma (MM). The inhibitory receptors B and T lymphocyte attenuator, CD200 receptor, lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3) and T cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain-containing-3 (TIM-3) were present at variable percentages in most CIK cultures, while cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), programmed death-1 (PD-1) and killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR2DL1/2/3) were expressed at low level in most cultures. Without blockade, myeloid leukaemia cells were susceptible to autologous and allogeneic CIK-mediated cytotoxicity. Blockade of KIR, LAG-3, PD-1 and TIM-3 but not CTLA-4 resulted in remarkable increase in killing against these targets, even in those with poor baseline cytotoxicity. ALL and MM targets were resistant to CIK-mediated cytotoxicity, and blockade of receptors did not increase cytotoxicity to a meaningful extent. Combination of inhibitors against two receptors did not further increase cytotoxicity. Interestingly, potentiation of CIK killing by blocking antibodies was not predicted by expression of receptors on CIK and their respective ligands on the targets. Compared to un-activated T and NK cells, blockade potentiated the cytotoxicity of CIK cells to a greater degree and at a lower E:T ratio, but without significant increase in cytotoxicity against normal white cell. Our findings provide the basis for clinical trial combining autologous CIK cells with checkpoint inhibitors for patients with AML.

Abstract
Loss of tolerance of the adaptive immune system towards indigenous flora contributes to the development of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Defects in dendritic cell (DC)-mediated innate and adoptive immune responses are conceivable. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of the inhibitory molecules CD200R1 and their ligand CD200 on DCs, to clarify the role of the DCs in the pathogenesis of IBD. Thirty-seven pediatric IBD patients (23 with Crohn’s disease (CD) and 14 with ulcerative colitis (UC)) with mean age 13.25 ± 2.9 years were included. Fourteen age-matched healthy pediatric volunteers (five males and nine females) served as a control group (HC). The percentage of CD11c+ myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) and CD123+ plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) expressing CD200R1 and CD200 were evaluated in peripheral blood using flow cytometry and were correlated with routine biochemical, serological markers, serum levels of cytokines and with the percentages of circulating regulatory T cells (Treg) and CD4+ producing IL-17 (Th17). IBD patients showed a significant decrease in the percentage of pDCs and mDCs expressing CD200R1 compared to that of HC. Patients with UC showed increased expressions of the CD200 molecule on pDCs as compared to HC. DCs expressing CD200R1 were found to be correlated positively with Treg and negatively with TH17 and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Our findings suggest that IBD is associated with dysregulation in the CD200R1/CD200 axis and that the decrease in DCs expressing CD200R1 may contribute to the imbalance of Th17 and Treg cells and in the pathogenesis of IBD.

Abstract
The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of orexin-A and orexin-1 receptor (OX1R) antagonist injected into the fourth ventricle of rats on food-intake and spontaneous physical activity (SPA). Obese rat model was induced by high fat diet. Different doses of orexin-A or SB334867, an OX1R antagonist, were injected into the fourth ventricle of obese and normal rats respectively. SPA and food intake were monitored for 4 h after injection in both light and dark environment. In the light measurement cycle, different doses of orexin-A significantly stimulated feeding and SPA in all injected rats, and the animals' responses showed a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05-0.01), and compared with those of normal rats, the orexin-A induced food intake and SPA were more pronounced in obese rats. In the dark measurement cycle, different doses of orexin-A had no obvious effect on food intake and SPA in both normal and obese rats (P > 0.05). In the light cycle, different doses of SB334867 significantly decreased food intake and SPA in all rats during 0-2 h and 2-4 h after injection (P < 0.05), but the food intake and SPA in obese rats were significantly greater than those of normal rats. In the dark cycle, different doses of SB334867 showed no obvious effect on food intake and SPA of normal and obese rats (P > 0.05). These results suggest that fourth cerebral ventricle nuclei may be one target for orexin-A and light condition may play an important role in orexin-A and OX1R physiological functional processes.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate atherosclerotic mediators' expression levels in M1 and M2 macrophages and to focus on the influence of diabetes on M1/M2 profiles. Macrophages from 36 atherosclerotic patients (19 diabetics and 17 non-diabetics) were cultured with interleukin-1β (IL-1β) or IL-4 to induce M1 or M2 phenotype, respectively. The atherosclerotic mediators' expression was evaluated by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The results showed that M1 and M2 macrophages differentially expressed mediators involved in proteolysis and angiogenesis processes. The proteolytic balance (matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9)/tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), MMP-9/plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and MMP-9/tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 (TFPI-2) ratios) was higher in M1 versus M2, whereas M2 macrophages presented higher angiogenesis properties (increased vascular endothelial growth factor/TFPI-2 and tissue factor/TFPI-2 ratios). Moreover, M1 macrophages from diabetics displayed more important proangiogenic and proteolytic activities than non-diabetics. This study reveals that M1 and M2 macrophages could differentially modulate major atherosclerosis-related pathological processes. Moreover, M1 macrophages from diabetics display a deleterious phenotype that could explain the higher plaque vulnerability observed in these subjects.

Abstract
Intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of the stable somatostatin pan-agonist, ODT8-SST induces a somatostatin 2 receptor (sst2) mediated robust feeding response that involves neuropeptide Y and opioid systems in rats. We investigated whether the orexigenic system driven by orexin also plays a role. Food and water intake after icv injection was measured concomitantly in non-fasted and non-water deprived rats during the light phase. In vehicle treated rats (100% DMSO, icv), ODT8-SST (1μg/rat, icv) significantly increased the 2-h food and water intake compared to icv vehicle plus saline (5.1±1.0g vs. 1.2±0.4g and 11.3±1.9mL vs. 2.5±1.2mL, respectively). The orexin-1 receptor antagonist, SB-334867 (16μg/rat, icv) completely inhibited the 2-h food and water intake induced by icv ODT8-SST. In contrast, the icv pretreatment with the selective somatostatin sst2 antagonist, S-406-028, established to block the orexigenic effect of icv ODT8-SST, did not modify the increased food and water intake induced by icv orexin-A (10.7μg/rat). These data indicate that orexin-1 receptor signaling system is part of the brain neurocircuitry contributing to the orexigenic and dipsogenic responses induced by icv ODT8-SST and that orexin-A stimulates food intake independently from brain sst2 activation.

Abstract
Fructose accounts for 10% of daily calories in the American diet. Fructose, but not glucose, given intracerebroventricularly stimulates homeostatic feeding mechanisms within the hypothalamus; however, little is known about how fructose affects hedonic feeding centers. Repeated ingestion of sucrose, a disaccharide of fructose and glucose, increases neuronal activity in hedonic centers, the nucleus accumbens (NAc) shell and core, but not the hypothalamus. Rats given glucose in the intermittent access model (IAM) display signatures of hedonic feeding including bingeing and altered DA receptor (R) numbers within the NAc. Here we examined whether substituting fructose for glucose in this IAM produces bingeing behavior, alters DA Rs and activates hedonic and homeostatic feeding centers. Following long-term (21-day) exposure to the IAM, rats given 8–12% fructose solutions displayed fructose bingeing but unaltered DA D1R or D2R number. Fructose bingeing rats, as compared to chow bingeing controls, exhibited reduced NAc shell neuron activation, as determined by c-Fos-immunoreactivity (Fos-IR). This activation was negatively correlated with orexin (Orx) neuron activation in the lateral hypothalamus/perifornical area (LH/PeF), a brain region linking homeostatic to hedonic feeding centers. Following short-term (2-day) access to the IAM, rats exhibited bingeing but unchanged Fos-IR, suggesting only long-term fructose bingeing increases Orx release. In long-term fructose bingeing rats, pretreatment with the Ox1R antagonist SB-334867 (30 mg/kg; i.p.) equally reduced fructose bingeing and chow intake, resulting in a 50% reduction in calories. Similarly, in control rats, SB-334867 reduced chow/caloric intake by 60%. Thus, in the IAM, Ox1Rs appear to regulate feeding based on caloric content rather than palatability. Overall, our results, in combination with the literature, suggest individual monosaccharides activate distinct neuronal circuits to promote feeding behavior. Specifically, long-term fructose bingeing activates a hyperphagic circuit composed in part of NAc shell and LH/PeF Orx neurons.

Abstract
CD200 is a transmembrane protein that belongs to the immunoglobulin family of proteins and is ubiquitously expressed on a variety of cell types. Upon interaction with its receptors (CD200Rs) expressed on myeloid-derived cells and T lymphocytes, an immunoregulatory signal is delivered to receptor-expressing cells. Previous studies have implicated a role for CD200:CD200R in the regulation of the expression of mRNA markers of osteoclastogenesis/osteoblastogenesis, following interaction of CD200 (on osteoblast precursors) with CD200R1 (on osteoclast precursors). Signaling of CD200R1 is hypothesized to attenuate osteoclastogenesis. We have investigated whether levels of soluble forms of CD200 and/or CD200R1 (sCD200, sCD200R1) are altered in volunteers undergoing 6° head down tilt bed rest to mimic conditions of microgravity known to be associated with preferential osteoclastogenesis and whether countermeasures, reported to be beneficial in attenuation of bone loss under microgravity conditions, would lead to altered sCD200 and sCD200R1 levels. Our data suggest that, as predicted, sCD200 levels fall under bed rest conditions while sCD200R1 levels rise. In subjects undergoing 30-minute per day continuous centrifugation protocols, as a countermeasure to attenuate changes which may lead to bone loss, these alterations in sCD200 and sCD200R1 levels seen under conditions of bed rest were abolished or attenuated. Our results suggest that measurement of sCD200 and/or sCD200R1 may prove a useful and rapid means of monitoring subjects at risk of bone loss and/or accessing the efficacy of treatment regimes designed to counter bone loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Macrophages are crucial cells in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Macrophages are plastic cells which can switch from a classical pro-inflammatory M1 to an alternative anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage phenotype, depending on the environmental stimuli. Because high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels are inversely correlated to cardiovascular disease and since HDL displays anti-inflammatory properties, we investigated whether HDL can affect alternative macrophage differentiation of primary human monocytes in the presence of interleukin (IL)-4, a M2 macrophage polarization driver, in vitro and ex vivo. METHODS AND RESULTS M2 macrophages are highly responsive to HDL stimulation, since the expression of pentraxin 3 (PTX3), a well known HDL target gene, is induced by HDL more strongly in M2 macrophages than in control unpolarized resting macrophages (RM). As expected, the expression of M2 markers, such as Mannose Receptor (MR), CD200 Receptor (CD200R), Coagulation factor XIII A1 (F13A1), IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) and IL10, was induced in IL-4 polarized M2 macrophages compared to RM. However, incubation with HDL added in vitro did not modulate the gene expression of M2 macrophage polarization markers. Moreover, monocytes isolated from subjects with genetically low HDL levels, carrying ABCA1 or LCAT mutations, differentiated ex vivo into M2 macrophages without any difference in the alternative macrophage marker expression profile. CONCLUSIONS These in vitro and ex vivo results indicate that, contrary to mouse macrophages, HDL does not influence macrophage M2 polarization of human monocyte-derived macrophages. Thus, the anti-inflammatory properties of HDL in humans are probably not related to the enhancement of the M2 macrophage phenotype.

Abstract
Microbial-lipopolysacharide (LPS), interleukin 4 (IL-4) and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) polarise macrophages into "innate", "alternative" and "classical", activation states by selective gene regulation. Expression of MARCO, CD200, CD200R1 (innate), MRC1 (alternative) and H2-Eb1 (classical) selectively marks these distinct activation states. Epigenetic events drive such activation upon stimuli and here we study one such mechanism, chromatin conformation signatures implicated in long-range chromatin interactions that regulate transcriptional switch and gene expression. The EpiSwitch™ technology was used to identify and analyse potential markers bordering such conformational signatures for these genes and juxtaposition of markers was compared between resting and activated macrophages. LPS, IL-4 and IFN-γ selectively altered chromatin conformations of their responsive genes in wild type, but not in MyD88(-/-), IL-4R(-/-) and IFN-γR(-/-) macrophages. In addition, two distinct conformations were observed in CD200R1 after LPS and IFN-γ stimulation. In summary, signal-specific alterations in chromatin conformation provide biomarkers that identify and determine distinct gene expression programmes during macrophage activation.

Abstract
The CD200:CD200R1 inhibitory signaling pathway has been implicated in playing a prominent role in limiting inflammation in a wide range of inflammatory diseases. CD200R1 signaling inhibits the expression of proinflammatory molecules including tumor necrosis factor, interferons, and inducible nitric oxide synthase in response to selected stimuli. Unsurprisingly, due to the regulatory role that CD200R1 plays in multiple inflammatory pathways, an increasing number of parasitic, bacterial, and viral pathogens exploit this pathway to suppress host defenses. A complete understanding of the pathways regulated by CD200R1 signaling and the diverse mechanisms that pathogens have evolved to manipulate the CD200:CD200R1 pathway can help identify clinical situations where targeting this interaction can be of therapeutic benefit. In this review, we compare CD200R1 to other pathogen-targeted inhibitory receptors and highlight how this signaling pathway is utilized by a diverse number of pathogens and, therefore, may represent a novel targeting strategy for the treatment of infectious diseases.

Abstract
B7H1 and B7H4 overexpression is associated with inhibition of the immune system in many solid tumors, and altogether with CD200 molecule plays an important role in tumor invasion by promoting malignant transformation. However, there is no report about impact of these molecules on laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The objective of the present study was to assess by means of flow cytometry the expression of B7H1, B7H4, CD200, and CD200R on CD83+ monocyte-derived dendritic cells (Mo-DC), pulsed with autologous tumor cell lysates (aTCL) in patients who suffer from G1, G2, or G3 laryngeal carcinoma (LC, n = 60) in comparison to healthy donors (HD, n = 15). It has been demonstrated that median value of the percentages of CD83+ B7H1+, CD83+ B7H4+, and CD83+ CD200+ cells were higher in LC patients than HD (p = 0.041, p ≤ 0.0001, and p = 0.02, respectively). Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CD200, CD200R, B7H1, and B7H4 on the Mo-DC pulsed with aTCL of the patients was also higher than on the Mo-DC of HD (p ≤ 0.0001, p ≤ 0.0001, p = 0.002, and p ≤ 0.0001, respectively). The highest MFI levels of all molecules were noted in grade 3 LC. The aforementioned results prove that there is a relation between the presence of laryngeal cancer and the expression of B7H1, B7H4, CD200, and CD200R regulatory molecules on the CD83+ Mo-DC pulsed with autologous cancer cell lysates. Strong association of LC grade and the tested antigens expression suggests a critical role for these proteins in LC biology.

Abstract
Bone homeostasis is maintained by the balance between bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-degrading osteoclasts. Osteoblasts have a mesenchymal origin whereas osteoclasts belong to the myeloid lineage. Osteoclast and osteoblast communication occurs through soluble factors secretion, cell-bone interaction and cell–cell contact, which modulate their activities. CD200 is an immunoglobulin superfamilly member expressed on various types of cells including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). CD200 receptor (CD200R) is expressed on myeloid cells such as monocytes/macrophages. We assume that CD200 could be a new molecule involved in the control of osteoclastogenesis and could play a role in MSC–osteoclast communication in humans. In this study, we demonstrated that soluble CD200 inhibited the differentiation of osteoclast precursors as well as their maturation in bone-resorbing cells in vitro. Soluble CD200 did not modify the monocyte phenotype but inhibited the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) signaling pathway as well as the gene expression of osteoclast markers such as osteoclast-associated receptor (OSCAR) and nuclear factor of activated T cells cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1). Moreover, MSCs inhibited osteoclast formation, which depended on cell–cell contact and was associated with CD200 expression on the MSC surface. Our results clearly demonstrate that MSCs, through the expression of CD200, play a major role in the regulation of bone resorption and bone physiology and that the CD200-CD200R couple could be a new target to control bone diseases.

Abstract
The orexin/hypocretin peptide signaling system plays a neuromodulatory role in motivation and stress; two critical components of depression. Although work has been done to identify links between orexin and depression, few specific neuroanatomical associations have been made. These studies have not investigated the relationship between orexin and orexin receptor expression in specific brain regions associated with this disorder. To address this, we examined immobility during the forced swim test (FST) in mice, a commonly used measure of depressive behavior. We analyzed the variation in FST immobility with the distribution of orexin and its receptor mRNA. We found that animals that exhibited more robust depressive behavior had greater or lesser orexin system expression that depended on the limbic brain region analyzed. In the hippocampus there was a negative correlation between orexin expression and FST immobility. Animals that displayed relatively more depressive behavior had lower hippocampal expression of Orexin A (OrxA). In the amygdala, there was a curvilinear relationship between OrxA and FST performance. In addition there was a positive correlation with amygdalar Type I orexin receptor (Orx1) mRNA and depressive behavior. Despite the differences in limbic orexin expression, there was no correlation between immobility and hypothalamic orexin neuron activation as measured by c-Fos. Overall, more severe depressive behavior was associated with reduced hippocampal orexin expression, contrasted with increased orexin plus Orx1 receptor mRNA expression in the amygdala. This divergent pattern between the hippocampus and amygdala mirrors a neurobiological theme seen in depression resulting from reduced hippocampal, but increased amygdalar, size and function.

Abstract
The CD200 receptor (CD200R) is present mainly on myeloid cells and gives inhibitory signals when engaged by its ligand CD200. The interaction is currently of therapeutic interest in cancer and inflammation. However functional effects are complicated by the fact that CD200R is itself polymorphic and also a member of a paired receptor family with four closely related gene products in mice called CD200RLa etc. We show that a second allele of CD200R (termed CD200R(2)) that differs in 7 amino acids also binds CD200 but did not react with the widely used CD200R antibody OX110. Biochemical and functional analysis showed that the CD200/CD200R interaction was blocked by the OX131, mAb that recognises both CD200R(1) and CD200R(2), but not by OX110 mAb. Both mAb can give agonistic inhibitory signals but functional analysis shows OX131 mAb also has the potential to block inhibition by preventing the ligand-receptor interaction and hence gives opposing effects. Although OX131 mAb cross-reacts with the activating receptor CD200RLe, it is specific for CD200R in C57BL/6 whilst OX110 mAb cross-reacts on CD200RLc. The results show the importance of the repertoire of paired receptors in strains or individuals and mAb used with implications for paired receptor analysis and therapeutics.

Abstract
CONTEXT Orexins A and B are neuropeptides that bind and activate 2 types of receptors. In addition to direct action in the brain, the orexinergic system has broader implications in peripheral organs, and it has been proposed to have a role in the induction of apoptosis. There are very few data on the endometrium. OBJECTIVE The expression and epigenetic regulation of type 2 orexin receptor (OX2R) was investigated in the human endometrium as well as in endometrial endometrioid carcinoma (EEC). METHODS OX2R localization was studied by immunohistochemistry in normal endometrium (n = 24) and in EEC (n = 32). The DNA methylation status of a CpG island located in the first exon of OX2R was analyzed by bisulfite sequencing in normal (n = 18), EEC (n = 34), and 3 endometrial cell lines. On the latter, mRNA expression and Western blotting as well as in vitro induction with orexin were performed. RESULTS Expression of the OX2R protein was detected in normal endometrial epithelia, whereas it was frequently lacking in EEC. This loss was associated with hypermethylation of OX2R in EEC in comparison with normal endometrium (median CpG methylation percentages of 48.85% and 5.85%, respectively). In cell lines, hypermethylation correlated with weak OX2R expression. Additionally, in vitro treatment of the 3 EEC cell lines with orexins A and B did not result in proliferation change CONCLUSIONS Altogether our data provide evidence for the epigenetic silencing of OX2R in EEC. The implication of the OX2R loss in tumoral progression remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
The peptides orexin A (OXA) and orexin B, deriving from the cleavage of the precursor molecule prepro-orexin, bind two G-coupled transmembrane receptors, named as receptor 1 (OX1R) and receptor 2 for orexin, showing different affinity-binding properties. First discovered in the rat hypothalamus, orexins and their receptors have been also found in many peripheral tissues where they exert neuroendocrine, autocrine and paracrine functions. Because inconclusive data on their localization in the mammalian prostate are reported, the aim of this study was to investigate the presence of prepro-orexin, OXA and OX1R in the human normal and hyperplastic gland. Immunohistochemistry revealed the localization of both OXA and OX1R in the cytoplasm of the follicular exocrine epithelium of all tested normal and hyperplastic prostates. Positive immunostaining was mainly observed in the basal cells of the stratified epithelium, and only rarely in the apical cells. The expression of mRNAs coding for prepro-orexin and OX1R and of proteins in the tissues was also ascertained by polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting analysis, respectively. In order to gain insights into the functional activity of OXA in the prostate, we administered different concentrations of OXA to cultured prostatic epithelial cells PNT1A. We first demonstrated that PNT1A cells express OX1R. The addition of OXA did not affect PNT1A cell proliferation, while it enhanced cAMP synthesis and Ca(2+) release from intracellular storage. Overall, our results definitely demonstrate the expression of OXA and OX1R in the human prostate, and suggest an active role for them in the metabolism of the gland.
