Neuromedin U receptors (NMURs) represent a class of evolutionarily conserved G-protein-coupled receptors that play a pivotal role in a variety of physiological processes. However, the role of NMURs in the heat shock response has yet to be elucidated. Using the nematode as a model system, we demonstrate herein that functional loss of NMUR-3 results in reduced survival upon heat shock. The regulation of thermal tolerance by NMUR-3 is dependent on AMPK. Furthermore, our data demonstrate that NMUR-3 activates autophagy via AMPK, thereby contributing to protection against heat shock. The results of this study suggest that NMUR-3 is crucial for thermal tolerance in .
神经介素U受体(NMURs)是一类进化上保守的G蛋白偶联受体,在多种生理过程中起关键作用。然而,NMURs在热休克反应中的作用尚未阐明。我们以线虫为模型系统,在此证明NMUR-3的功能丧失会导致热休克后存活率降低。NMUR-3对热耐受性的调节依赖于AMPK。此外,我们的数据表明,NMUR-3通过AMPK激活自噬,从而有助于抵御热休克。本研究结果表明,NMUR-3对线虫的热耐受性至关重要。
