Behavioral Characterization of β-Arrestin 1 Knockout Mice in Anxiety-Like and Alcohol Behaviors

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
β-Arrestin 1 and 2 are highly expressed proteins involved in the desensitization of G protein-coupled receptor signaling which also regulate a variety of intracellular signaling pathways.

Innovations in Obesity Treatment: Beyond Adipose Tissue Dysfunction

open access: yesObesity Reviews, EarlyView.
Obesity drives chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cancer development through adipocyte dysfunction. Addressing this multisystemic disorder requires integrated strategies beyond diet and exercise, such as thermogenesis activation via menthol or capsinoids and appetite control through GLP‐1/GIP agonists and neuromodulation to ...

Arrestin-biased AT1R agonism induces acute catecholamine secretion through TRPC3 coupling

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R)-mediated acute catecholamine release is modulated by β-arrestin. Here the authors show that β-arrestin-1 recruits the Ca2+channel TRPC3 and the PLCγ to the AT1R-β-arrestin complex, triggering G protein-independent ...

Sex and Chronic Stress Alter the Distribution of Corticotropin‐Releasing Factor Receptor in Rat Hippocampus Following Oxycodone Conditioned Place Preference

open access: yesSynapse, Volume 80, Issue 5, September 2026.
Chronic stress modifies the effect of oxycodone conditioned place preference (Oxy CPP) on corticotropin releasing factor 1 (CRFR1) subcellular distributions in hippocampal subregions. These stress‐ and oxycodone‐induced changes in CRFR1 density may influence sex differences in hippocampal learning and memory processes both at baseline and following Oxy

Minocycline and bone marrow–derived mononuclear cells as potential therapeutics for hereditary retinal degenerations

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page e671-e685, September 2026.
Abstract Purpose To assess in Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rats if the combination of two previously documented neuroprotective strategies: minocycline administration and bone marrow–derived mononuclear cells (BM‐MNCs) intravitreal transplantation, offers enhanced neuroprotection compared with each treatment alone.

Arrestins in Host–Pathogen Interactions

open access: yes, 2013
In the context of host-pathogen interaction, host cell receptors and signaling pathways are essential for both invading pathogens, which exploit them for their own profit, and the defending organism, which activates early mechanism of defense, known as innate immunity, to block the aggression.

CCL19 and CCL21 Display Reciprocal Dependence on R209 in ECL2 of CCR7 for Receptor Activation, Relating to Differences in the Chemokine N‐Terminal Region

open access: yesBasic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 139, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT CCL19 and CCL21 interact differentially with their shared receptor CCR7. A key amino acid important for CCL19‐mediated receptor activation is arginine 209 (R209) in extracellular loop 2 (ECL2) of CCR7. CCL21 activation of CCR7, in contrast, does not depend on R209.

Agonist‐specific conformational dynamics at the β2‐adrenoceptor dictate allosteric modulation of Gαs signalling and bronchodilation

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 17, Page 5315-5335, September 2026.
Abstract Background and Purpose β2‐adrenoceptor (β2AR) agonists are the cornerstone of asthma therapy and promote bronchodilation through Gαs signalling in airway smooth muscle (ASM), but their efficacy is limited by β‐arrestin‐mediated β2AR desensitization.

Peripheral κ opioid receptor in pain and inflammation: From molecular signalling and gene expression to drug discovery

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 17, Page 5157-5189, September 2026.
The κ opioid receptor (κ receptor, KOR) is a G protein‐coupled receptor with well established roles in analgesia and immune modulation. Although historically studied primarily in the central nervous system (CNS), growing evidence indicates that κ signalling in peripheral tissues plays an important role in regulating pain, inflammation and immune ...

β-Arrestin-1 expression and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in laryngeal carcinoma

open access: yesThe International Journal of Biological Markers, 2019
Aim: The novel primary end-point of the present study was to ascertain β-arrestin-1 expression in a cohort of consecutive patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) with information available on their cigarette-smoking habits. A secondary end-
