Coactivation of CB1 and GPR55 promotes GABA release and motor behavior at striatonigral terminals through increased dimerization induced by CB1 activation [PDF]

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
CB1 and GPR55 receptors form heteromers in striatal neurons; however, the effects of these heteromers on GABA release at their terminals and their impact on motor behavior remain unknown. In this study, we investigate the presence of CB1-GPR55 heteromers

Neuroglial CB1 receptors modulate hippocampal processes in a sex-dependent manner [PDF]

Biology of Sex Differences
Background Navigation and memory are hippocampal functions that are essential for survival. One of the key modulators of hippocampal activity is the endocannabinoid system through the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1).

CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor Expression in the Striatum: Association with Corticostriatal Circuits and Developmental Regulation

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2012
Corticostriatal circuits mediate various aspects of goal-directed behavior and are critically important for basal ganglia-related disorders. Activity in these circuits is regulated by the endocannabinoid system via stimulation of CB1 cannabinoid ...

Internalization and Recycling of the CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor [PDF]

Journal of Neurochemistry, 1999
Abstract : Tolerance develops rapidly to cannabis, cannabinoids, and related drugs acting at the CB1 cannabinoid receptor. However, little is known about what happens to the receptor as tolerance is developing. In this study, we have found that CB1 receptors are rapidly internalized following agonist binding and receptor activation ...

Targeting mechanosensitive cannabinoid receptor 1 with isoflavone prodrugs attenuates atherosclerotic endothelial dysfunction [PDF]

Journal of Biomedical Science
Background Despite therapeutic advances, atherosclerosis remains a major global health challenge. Most current treatments target systemic risk factors rather than the diseased vascular wall.

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 ...

Developmental and visual input-dependent regulation of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor in the mouse visual cortex. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The mammalian visual system exhibits significant experience-induced plasticity in the early postnatal period. While physiological studies have revealed the contribution of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1) to developmental plasticity in the primary ...

Yin and yang of cannabinoid CB1 receptor: CB1 deletion in immune cells causes exacerbation while deletion in non-immune cells attenuates obesity

iScience, 2022
Summary: While blockade of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) has been shown to attenuate diet-induced obesity (DIO), its relative role in different cell types has not been tested.

Cannabinoid Receptor-1 suppresses M2 macrophage polarization in colorectal cancer by downregulating EGFR

Cell Death Discovery, 2022
Cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2, have been implicated as emerging targets for cancer therapy. Herein, we investigated the potential regulation mechanism of CB1 and its implications in colorectal cancer.

Modulation of pilocarpine-induced seizures by cannabinoid receptor 1. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Administration of the muscarinic agonist pilocarpine is commonly used to induce seizures in rodents for the study of epilepsy. Activation of muscarinic receptors has been previously shown to increase the production of endocannabinoids in the brain ...
