Does GDNF exert its neuroprotective effects on photoreceptors in the rd1 retina through the glial glutamate transporter GLAST? [PDF]

, 2005
PURPOSE: We previously demonstrated that exogenous glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) induces histological and functional protection of photoreceptors in the retinal degeneration (rd1) mouse model.

Identification of chemokine receptors as potential modulators of endocrine resistance in oestrogen receptor–positive breast cancers [PDF]

, 2014
Introduction Endocrine therapies target oestrogenic stimulation of breast cancer (BC) growth, but resistance remains problematic. Our aims in this study were (1) to identify genes most strongly associated with resistance to endocrine therapy by ...

Advances in GPCRs Associated With Wnt Signaling Within the Auditory System

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) that interact with the Wnt signaling pathway are pivotal for auditory system homeostasis, as they orchestrate inner ear development, hair cell (HC) regeneration, and hearing preservation. Frizzled (FZD) receptors, the core Wnt‐related GPCRs, bind Wnt ligands and co‐receptors (e.g., LRP5/6) to activate both ...

Preclinical models for evaluating psychedelics in the treatment of major depressive disorder

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Psychedelic drugs have seen a resurgence in interest as a next generation of psychiatric medicines with potential as rapid‐acting antidepressants (RAADs). Despite promising early clinical trials, the mechanisms which underlie the effects of psychedelics are poorly understood.

Galanin receptor 2 modifies neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor internalization and β-Arrestin recruitment [PDF]

, 2015
We have recently described a Galanin receptor 2(GALR2) and Neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor(NPYY1R) interaction at behavioural, cellular and receptor levels through GALR2/NPYY1R heterodimers.

Heat Shock Protein 20 (HSP20) is a novel substrate for Protein Kinase D1 (PKD1) [PDF]

, 2015
Heat shock protein 20 (HSP20) has cardioprotective qualities, which are triggered by PKA phosphorylation. PKD1 is also a binding partner for HSP20, and this prompted us to investigate whether the chaperone was a substrate for PKD1.

Neuropsychopharmacology of hallucinogenic and non‐hallucinogenic 5‐HT2A receptor agonists

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Psychedelic drugs such as LSD and psilocin were once relegated to the fringes of medical research because of their association with counterculture movements and a perceived concern about harm through recreational use, and their consequent legal prohibition in the early 1970s.

Structural and Functional Analysis of a β2-Adrenergic Receptor Complex with GRK5. [PDF]

, 2017
The phosphorylation of agonist-occupied G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) by GPCR kinases (GRKs) functions to turn off G-protein signaling and turn on arrestin-mediated signaling.

Evidence that 5‐HT2A receptor signalling efficacy and not biased agonism differentiates serotonergic psychedelic from non‐psychedelic drugs

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Serotonergic psychedelic drugs are under investigation as therapies for various psychiatric disorders, including major depression. Although serotonergic psychedelic drugs are 5‐HT2A receptor agonists, some such agonists are not psychedelic, potentially due to differences in 5‐HT2A receptor ligand bias or signalling efficacy. Here,

A Gpr120-selective agonist improves insulin resistance and chronic inflammation in obese mice. [PDF]

, 2014
It is well known that the ω-3 fatty acids (ω-3-FAs; also known as n-3 fatty acids) can exert potent anti-inflammatory effects. Commonly consumed as fish products, dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals, ω-3-FAs have a number of health benefits ascribed ...
