Characterisation of AmphiAmR11, an amphioxus (Branchiostoma floridae) D2-dopamine-like G protein-coupled receptor.

PLoS ONE, 2013
The evolution of the biogenic amine signalling system in vertebrates is unclear. However, insights can be obtained from studying the structures and signalling properties of biogenic amine receptors from the protochordate, amphioxus, which is an ...

Investigation of the Adrenergic and Opioid Binding affinities, Metabolic Stability, Plasma Protein Binding Properties and Functional Effects of Selected Indole-based Kratom Alkaloids.

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2019
Selected indole-based kratom alkaloids were evaluated for their opioid and adrenergic receptor binding and functional effects, in vivo antinociceptive effects, plasma protein binding and metabolic stability.

Potentiating Cerebral Perfusion Normalizes Glymphatic Dynamics in Systemic Inflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
LPS‐induced systemic inflammation increases glymphatic influx but delays cervical lymphatic drainage, accompanied by AQP4 depolarization and impaired glymphatic clearance. Enhancing cerebral blood flow via the inotropic agent levosimendan effectively restored AQP4 polarization, improving glymphatic flux and amyloid‐β clearance.

Pharmacological Microglial Inhibition Remodels the Scar Microenvironment to Support Reticulospinal Circuit Reconstruction After Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study establishes pharmacological microglial inhibition as a therapeutic strategy, demonstrating its capacity to remodel the lesion microenvironment through significant reduction of extracellular matrix deposition. This permissive environmental transformation facilitates robust regeneration of the reticulospinal tract, and reconstructs functional ...

Sympathetic Activation Promotes Kidney Fibrosis in Mice via Macrophage‐Derived N2ICD‐Enriched Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Norepinephrine/α2B‐adrenoceptor axis promotes the secretion of Notch2 intracellular domain (N2ICD)‐enriched extracellular vesicles (EVs) from macrophages. These EVs deliver N2ICD into fibroblasts, thereby inducing their activation. Deletion of Notch2 or α2B‐AR in macrophages disrupts N2ICD‐enriched EV formation and alleviates kidney fibrosis in mice ...

Norepinephrine Induces Sertoli Cell Ferroptosis via Receptors Desensitization Causing Stress‐Related Male Reproductive Dysfunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Psychological stress activates the sympathetic–adrenal axis, elevating norepinephrine (NE) and suppressing reproductive hormones, thereby impairing male reproduction. Excess NE overactivates and desensitizes β‐adrenergic receptors (β‐ARs), triggering Sertoli cell ferroptosis and disrupting spermatogenesis.

Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Play an Analgesic Role Through a Npy2r Sensory Neuron‐Mediated Lung‐to‐Brain Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are considered a promising alternative for neuropathic pain (NP) treatment, but underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Huang et al. illustrate that a Npy2r sensory neuron‐related lung–brain axis contributes to MSC analgesia.

Preservation of ALYREF Phase Separation Mitigates Doxorubicin‐Induced Cardiomyocyte DNA Damage and Cardiotoxicity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Binding of Doxorubicin to ALYREF disrupts its phase‐separated condensate and induces DNA damage and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes Abstract The clinical utility of the anticancer agent doxorubicin (DOX) is limited by its dose‐dependent cardiotoxicity.
