β-arrestin2 in infiltrated macrophages inhibits excessive inflammation after myocardial infarction. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Beta-arrestins (β-arrestin1 and β-arrestin2) are known as cytosolic proteins that mediate desensitization and internalization of activated G protein-coupled receptors.

Toll-like 4 and protease-activated receptor 2 in physiology and pathophysiology of the nervous system: more than just receptor cooperation? [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) play pivotal roles in the mammalian innate immune response. Notably, in addition to their involvement in detection of invading pathogens, PAR2 and TLR4 modulate the levels of cell death-

The Serotonin 2B (5‐HT2B) Receptor: A Narrative Review of Preclinical and Clinical Evidence on the Safety Considerations and Therapeutic Potential for the Treatment of Depression

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Major depressive disorder (MDD) and treatment‐resistant depression (TRD) remain leading causes of disability, providing the impetus for receptor‐level treatment strategies beyond monoamine reuptake. The serotonin 5‐HT2B receptor (5‐HT2BR) is uniquely positioned at the interface of central‐antidepressant mechanisms and peripheral cardiac risks.

β-arrestin1 regulates astrocytic reactivity via Drp1-dependent mitochondrial fission: implications in postoperative delirium

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2023
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a frequent and debilitating complication, especially amongst high risk procedures, such as orthopedic surgery. This kind of neurocognitive disorder negatively affects cognitive domains, such as memory, awareness, attention,

Mutations in the 'DRY' motif of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor result in biased receptor variants. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The role of the highly-conserved 'DRY' motif in the signaling of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1R) was investigated by introducing single, double and triple alanine mutations into this site of the receptor. We found that the CB1R-R3.50A mutant displays

Assessment of Abuse Potential‐Related Effects of Oral Dried Kratom Leaf Powder in Healthy Normal Participants Following Single and Multiple Daily Doses

open access: yesDrug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
In a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled study of oral dried kratom leaf powder in healthy kratom‐naive adults, no participants met the clinically meaningful opioid withdrawal threshold; abuse‐related treatment‐emergent adverse events occurred more frequently at higher doses but were generally mild and resolved without sequelae; and no serious

Palmitoylation of human proteinase-activated receptor-2 differentially regulates receptor-triggered ERK1/2 activation, calcium signalling and endocytosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
hPAR2 (human proteinase-activated receptor-2) is a member of the novel family of proteolytically activated GPCRs (G-protein-coupled receptors) termed PARs (proteinase-activated receptors).

Mortality risk stratification for Takotsubo syndrome: Evaluating CRP measurement alongside the InterTAK prognostic score

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1427-1436, April 2025.
Abstract Background and objectives Initially described as a benign acute cardiomyopathy, Takotsubo syndrome has been linked to elevated mortality rates. Emerging evidence suggests that unresolved myocardial inflammation may contribute to this adverse prognosis.

The Role of β-Arrestin Proteins in Organization of Signaling and Regulation of the AT1 Angiotensin Receptor

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
AT1 angiotensin receptor plays important physiological and pathophysiological roles in the cardiovascular system. Renin-angiotensin system represents a target system for drugs acting at different levels.

β-Arrestin1 and β-Arrestin2 Are Required to Support the Activity of the CXCL12/HMGB1 Heterocomplex on CXCR4

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
The chemokine receptor CXCR4 plays a fundamental role in homeostasis and pathology by orchestrating recruitment and positioning of immune cells, under the guidance of a CXCL12 gradient.
