“…For instance, PEDF, 1 a serpin inhibitor with potent antiangiogenic activity (14), was detected as a protein secreted by preadipocytes but not by adipocytes. Conversely, we found an acute phase reactant, haptoglobin, and two smaller polypeptides, hippocampal cholinergic neurostimulating peptide (HCNP) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), that were produced by adipocytes (15,16). We showed that whereas haptoglobin was correspondingly up-regulated at the mRNA level, NGAL and HCNP showed no change in mRNA expression levels suggesting that the regulation of these protein levels occurs post-transcriptionally.…”

“…However, PEBP1 can be also released into the extracellular environment by alternative secretion and act as a soluble factor (79). These functions are mediated by an N-terminal peptide, which is proteolytically removed from PEBP1 and that was named hippocampal cholinergic neurostimulating peptide (HCNP) because of its functions in neuronal differentiation and acetylcholine synthesis (80). HCNP also acts as an endocrine factor in cardiac physiology, demonstrating a role in nonneuronal organs (79,81).…”

“…3 The original studies showed that HCNP stimulated the development and differentiation of cholinergic neurons in cultures of rat medial septal nuclei, by enhancing the activity of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and thus promoting acetylcholine synthesis. 3,46 These medial septal cholinergic neurons project back to the hippocampus to form the septohippocampal cholinergic pathway, whose dysfunction has been linked to cognitive impairments, particularly those associated with aging. 47 HCNP's ability to enhance ChAT expression specifically in the septal medial nucleus, and promote cholinergic phenotype development, was later confirmed in vivo using transgenic mice that overexpressed HCNP in the murine forebrain and hippocampus.…”

“…Then, in 1992, Ojika et al purified a novel 11-residue peptide from the soluble fraction of neonatal rat hippocampi, and called it hip-pocampal cholinergic neurostimulating peptide (HCNP) because of its ability to stimulate acetylcholine synthesis in cultures of medial septal nuclei, a region of the brain that receives inputs from the hippocampus. 3 It would be another three years before the genes that encode rat and human HCNP were cloned, and recognized as homologs of bovine pebp1. 4 The discovery of HCNP was, in some respects, a major step toward ascribing a physiologic activity to this mysterious gene in the mammalian brain.…”
