New horizons of orexin/hypocretin research
More than two decades passed after discovery of novel peptides, orexins/hypocretins. Although orexins/hypocretins were first described as hypothalamic neuropeptides that influence appetite and consciousness, it was later found that orexins/hypocretins also modulate a variety of physiological processes including reward, pain, emotion, and the autonomic regulation of the cardiovascular, respiratory, neuroendocrine, and metabolic systems. In this session entitled “Orexin/Hypocretin”, we assemble cutting edge knowledges of multi-faceted biology of orexin/hypocretin system, look over them with a bird’s-eye view, and to get a new perspective for promoting and further widening the orexins/hypocretins and related research field.

Neuropeptide intranasal delivery for treatment of CNS disorders
Systemic approaches often fail to efficiently supply peptides to the CNS because peptides are rapidly degraded and do not always cross the brain blood barrier. Furthermore, peptides receptors are usually not restricted to the brain but also often found in peripheral tissues where they can induce side effects. Thus, over the last couple of years, the interest for intranasal peptide delivery has increased as will be illustrated through different examples in the proposed session that will focus on ‘Neuropeptide intranasal delivery for treatment of CNS disorders’.

Memorial Symposium for Dr. Hisayuki Matsuo
Professor Emeritus Hisayuki Matsuo of Miyazaki University passed away on June 8 2022. Dr. Matsuo developed an unique determination method for C-terminal structure of peptides by tritium labeling and played a key role in the discovery of LHRH by Shally of Tulane University, which won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1977. In addition to contributing to the development of the technology for the structure determination of trace peptides, he also contributed to the development of bioactive peptide research through the isolation and structure determination of a series of opioid peptides such as alpha-neoendorphin, the discovery of novel neuropeptides such as neuromedin B, the discovery of natriuretic peptide family including ANP, the discovery of adrenomedullin and ghrelin. Thus, as a peptide chemist, he left great footprints in the field of bioactive peptide research. Therefore, we would like to organize a memorial symposium in memory of Dr. Matsuo to honor his achievements and to wish for the future development of novel peptide research.

Galanin and related peptides – new developments in health and disease
Galanin was first identified 35 years ago as a "classic neuropeptide," with actions primarily as a modulator of neurotransmission in the brain and peripheral nervous system. Other structurally-related peptides-galanin-like peptide, spexin and alarin-with diverse biologic actions in brain and other tissues have since been identified. Over the last decades, in addition to many neuronal actions, a number of nonneuronal actions of galanin peptides have been described. Galanin has been shown to regulate its numerous physiologic and pathophysiological processes through interactions with three G protein-coupled receptors, GAL1, GAL2, and GAL3. In this symposium, we emphasize novel developments in galanin peptide based research.

PACAP and davunetide (NAP) in clinical studies
Increasing evidence shows that PACAP levels change under pathological conditions, suggesting the potential clinical use of PACAP as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in certain diseases. In this session one of the first results of PACAP studies of stress disorders and the newest results of cardiological disorders and Parkinson’s disease will be presented.

Dr. Abba J Kastin Memorial Symposium: A Vision of Peptides
William A Banks(University of Washington School of Medicine, USA)
Abba J. Kastin was a pioneer in the field of peptides and passionate about research. He particularly loved the topic of peptides and did much, starting in the 1970’s, to promote their study. Abba either introduced or championed about a dozen key principles that characterized peptides and, a later, regulatory proteins. Some of these principles are exemplified by PACAP and others by peptides that Abba discovered: Tyr-MIF-1 and the endomorphins. In this lecture, I will examine some of those principles as they apply to peptides today and speculate on their future in understanding of peptides and regulatory proteins.

Role of PACAP and PAC1 receptors in behavioral functions
This session brings together researchers that are studying the role of the neuropeptide PACAP and its receptor PAC1 in stress, anxiety, pain, and alcohol drinking behaviors. PACAP and PAC1 are critical mediators of stressors of all kinds. Thus, a better understanding of how the central nervous system pathways are engaged by PACAP/PAC1 system is important for developing novel therapeutic avenues for stress and anxiety related disorders.
