In vivo Evidence for Brain Region-Specific Molecular Interactions Between Cannabinoid and Orexin Receptors

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
The endocannabinoid and orexin neuromodulatory systems serve key roles in many of the same biological functions such as sleep, appetite, pain processing, and emotional behaviors related to reward.

The Vertical and Horizontal Pathways in the Monkey Retina Are Modulated by Typical and Atypical Cannabinoid Receptors

Cells, 2021
The endocannabinoid (eCB) system has been found in all visual parts of the central ner-vous system and plays a role in the processing of visual information in many species, including monkeys and humans. Using anatomical methods, cannabinoid receptors are

Novel putative ligands of cannabinoid receptors: synthesis and effects on cell signaling and neuronal functions [PDF]

The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2023
Cannabinoid ligands are known to possess neuroprotective actions and may have utility in the treatment of neurodegeneration. The major targets for cannabinoids include the classical CB1 cannabinoid receptor, as well as the novel cannabinoid receptor ...

Cellular Distribution of Canonical and Putative Cannabinoid Receptors in Canine Cervical Dorsal Root Ganglia

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Growing evidence indicates cannabinoid receptors as potential therapeutic targets for chronic pain. Consequently, there is an increasing interest in developing cannabinoid receptor agonists for treating human and veterinary pain. To better understand the

Psychosocial stress and cannabinoid drugs affect acetylation of α-tubulin (K40) and gene expression in the prefrontal cortex of adult mice

PLoS ONE, 2022
The dynamics of neuronal microtubules are essential for brain plasticity. Vesicular transport and synaptic transmission, additionally, requires acetylation of α-tubulin, and aberrant tubulin acetylation and neurobiological deficits are associated ...

Cannabinoids reduce markers of inflammation and fibrosis in pancreatic stellate cells.

PLoS ONE, 2008
BackgroundWhile cannabinoids have been shown to ameliorate liver fibrosis, their effects in chronic pancreatitis and on pancreatic stellate cells (PSC) are unknown.Methodology/principal findingsThe activity of the endocannabinoid system was evaluated in ...

Regulation of MMP-9 by a WIN-binding site in the monocyte-macrophage system independent from cannabinoid receptors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The cannabinoid system is known to be involved in the regulation of inflammatory processes. Therefore, drugs targeting cannabinoid receptors are considered as candidates for anti-inflammatory and tissue protective therapy.
