Discovery

Delta sleep-inducing peptide,abbreviated DSIP,Swiss Schoenenberger-Monnier group who isolated it from the cerebral venous blood of rabbits in an induced state of sleep first discovered it in 1974.

Meanwhile,he found It is in both free and bound forms in the hypothalamus,limbic system and pituitary as well as various peripheral organs, tissues and body fluids.[3] In the pituitary it co-localises with many peptide and non-peptide mediators such as corticotropin-like intermediate peptide (CLIP), adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and melanin concentrating hormone (MCH). It is abundant in the gut secretory cells and in the pancreas where it co-localises with glucagon.[4]

In addition,In the brain its action may be mediated by NMDA receptors.[5]

It is unknown where Delta sleep-inducing peptide is synthesized.

In vitro it has been found to have a low molecular stability with a half life of only 15 minutes due to the action of a specific aminopeptidase-like enzyme.[6] It has been suggested that in the body it complexes with carrier proteins to prevent degradation, or exists as a component of a large precursor molecule,[7] but as yet no structure or gene has been found for this precursor.

However,evidence supports the current belief that it is regulated by glucocorticoids.[8]

Gimble et al. suggest that Delta sleep-inducing peptide interacts with components of the MAPK cascade and is homologous to glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ).[9]GILZ can be induced by Dexamethasone.It prevents Raf-1 activation, which inhibits phosphorylation and activation of ERK. See [1] for image showing the pathway analysis of DSIP [10]

It initially regarded as a candidate sleep-promoting factor. However, the link between DSIP and sleep has never been further characterized, in part because of the lack of isolation of the Delta sleep-inducing peptide gene, protein and possible related receptor. Thus the hypothesis regarding DSIP as a sleep factor is extremely poorly documented and still weak. Although Delta sleep-inducing peptide itself presented a focus of study for a number of researchers, its natural occurrence and biological activity still remains obscure.After that, Delta sleep-inducing peptide structure is different from any other known representative of the various peptide families. In this mini-review we hypothesize the existence of a DSIP-like peptide(s) that is responsible (at least partly) for DSIP-like immunoreactivity and Delta sleep-inducing peptide  biological activity.

Roles in endocrine regulation

  1. Decreases basal corticotropin level and blocks its release.[13]
  2. Stimulates release of luteinizing hormone (LH).[14]

 3.Stimulates release of somatoliberin and somatotrophin secretion and inhibits somatostatin secretion.[15]

Roles in physiological processes

  1. Can act as a stress limiting factor.[16][17][18]

 2.May have a direct or indirect effect on body temperature and alleviating hypothermia.[19][20][21]

 3.Can normalize blood pressure and myocardial contraction.[22].[23]

  1. It has been shown to enhance the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation in rat mitochondria in vitro, suggesting it may have antioxidant effects.[24]

 5.There is also conflicting evidence as to its involvement in sleep patterns. Some studies suggest a link between DSIP and slow-wave sleep (SWS) promotion[25][26] and suppression of paradoxical sleep, (PS)[27][28] while some studies show no correlation.[29] Stronger effects on sleep have been noted for the synthesized analogues of Delta sleep-inducing peptide.[30]

  1. It may have an impact on human lens epithelial cell function via the MAPK pathway, which is involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, motility, survival, and apoptosis.[31]
