Immunology Pharmacological inhibition of neuropeptide Y receptors Y1 and Y5 reduces hypoxic breast cancer This abundance is exploited for cancer imaging, but there is interest in pharmacological inhibition of the NPYRs to interrogate their functional relevance in breast cancer. Therefore, these antagonists may aid in the development of novel cancer therapeutics and patient-based Tags Breast cancer , GPCR , Hypoxia , NPY , Neuropeptide .

Simultaneous activation of CXC chemokine receptor 4 and histamine receptor H1 enhances calcium signaling and cancer and is involved in several cancer phenotypes including tumor growth, survival, and metastasis. The roles of histamine and histamine receptor H1 (HRH1) in cancer pathogenesis remain controversial. Here, we show that HRH1 is widely expressed in various cancer cell lines and cancer tissues and that coexpression of CXCR4 and HRH1 is associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer.
