Published Data
Fig.1 mRNA expression of Nmur1 in control cells and Nmur1 knockdown lines.
Quantitative RT-PCR was employed to assess Nmur1 expression in both scrambled control cells and Nmur1 knockdown lines (Nmur1-KD), with data representing the mean values along with the standard error of the mean (SEM). This data was normalized to the scrambled control and was derived from three biological replicates for each cell line. Notably, statistical significance, denoted by *, was observed with p-values less than 0.05 against the scrambled control, as determined by paired t-tests.

Research Highlights
Li Y, et al. "Neuromedin U programs eosinophils to promote mucosal immunity of the small ." Science (New York, N.Y.), 2023.
Eosinophils are a type of granulocyte that have a crucial role in type 2 immunity and in regulating various homeostatic processes within the small intestine (SI). However, the specific signals that control the activity of eosinophils in the SI under normal conditions are not well understood. This study, using transcriptome profiling of eosinophils from different mouse tissues, identified a subset of SI eosinophils expressing the neuromedin U (NMU) receptor 1 (NMUR1). Further analysis revealed that the expression of NMUR1 in SI eosinophils is influenced by the local microenvironment and is increased during inflammation. Additionally, experiments involving genetic manipulation and eosinophil-organoid coculture showed that NMU-induced eosinophil activation promotes goblet cell differentiation. In summary, this research demonstrates that NMU plays a role in regulating epithelial cell differentiation and barrier immunity by stimulating NMUR1-expressing eosinophils in the SI, highlighting the significance of neuroimmune-epithelial cross-talk in maintaining tissue homeostasis.

Botticelli L, et al. "The neuromedin U system: Pharmacological implications for the treatment of ." Pharmacological research, 2023.
Neuromedin U (NMU) is a bioactive peptide that is produced in both the gut and the brain and plays a crucial role in various physiological processes. Its main function is carried out by activating two G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR): NMU receptor 1 (NMU-R1), found predominantly in the periphery, and NMU receptor 2 (NMU-R2), found mainly in the central nervous system (CNS). The presence of NMU and NMU-R2 in the hypothalamus, referred to as the "feeding center", highlights its key role in regulating food intake. Studies have shown that the absence of NMU leads to obesity, making it a potential target for addressing this condition. Additionally, NMU has been shown to influence non-homeostatic food intake, making it a potential contributor to binge eating behavior. This review examines literature connecting the NMU system with obesity and binge eating, with a focus on its effects on food intake and the underlying neuronal mechanisms. It also explores the potential of developing NMU analogs or NMU-R2 agonists as a promising pharmacological strategy for treating obesity. Furthermore, strategies for improving the pharmacokinetic profile of NMU will also be discussed.
