Similarities and differences between nigral and enteric dopaminergic neurons unravel distinctive involvement in Parkinson’s disease

open access: yesnpj Parkinson's Disease, 2022
In addition to the well-known degeneration of midbrain dopaminergic neurons, enteric neurons can also be affected in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Caveolin-1 downregulation promotes the dopaminergic neuron-like differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2021
Previous studies have shown that caveolin-1 is involved in regulating the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. However, its role in the differentiation of human adipose mesenchymal stem cells into dopaminergic neurons remains unclear.

Effect of hyperthyroidism on circulating prolactin and hypothalamic expression of tyrosine hydroxylase, prolactin signaling cascade members and estrogen and progesterone receptors during late pregnancy and lactation in the rat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Hyperthyroidism (HyperT) compromises pregnancy and lactation, hindering suckling-induced PRL release. We studied the effect of HyperT on hypothalamic mRNA (RT-qPCR) and protein (Western blot) expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), PRL receptor (PRLR ...

miR-34b/c Regulates Wnt1 and Enhances Mesencephalic Dopaminergic Neuron Differentiation

open access: yesStem Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: The differentiation of dopaminergic neurons requires concerted action of morphogens and transcription factors acting in a precise and well-defined time window. Very little is known about the potential role of microRNA in these events.

Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) protein expression and activity after dopaminergic and noradrenergic lesions of the rat brain. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The occurrence of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) in presynaptic neurons remains controversial. This study utilized dopaminergic and noradrenergic toxins to assess the presence of COMT in the presynaptic neurons originating from the substantia nigra,

Integrin α5β1 expression on dopaminergic neurons is involved in dopaminergic neurite outgrowth on striatal neurons [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
AbstractDuring development, dopaminergic neurons born in the substantia nigra extend their axons toward the striatum. However, the mechanisms by which the dopaminergic axons extend the striatum to innervate their targets remain unclear. We previously showed that paired-cultivation of mesencephalic cells containing dopaminergic neurons with striatal ...

Proteomic insights into the biology of dopaminergic neurons. [PDF]

open access: yesFront Mol Neurosci
Dopaminergic neurons, primarily located in the substantia nigra, hypothalamus, and ventral tegmental area of the brain, play crucial roles in motor control, reward, motivation, and cognition. Alterations in their function are associated with numerous neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease, but also Schizophrenia, substance ...

Orexinergic Input to Dopaminergic Neurons of the Human Ventral Tegmental Area [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The mesolimbic reward pathway arising from dopaminergic (DA) neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) has been strongly implicated in reward processing and drug abuse.

An Intrinsic Neuronal Oscillator Underlies Dopaminergic Neuron Bursting [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 2009
Dopaminergic neurons of the ventral midbrain fire high-frequency bursts when animals are presented with unexpected rewards, or stimuli that predict reward. To identify the afferents that can initiate bursting and establish therapeutic strategies for diseases affected by altered bursting, a mechanistic understanding of bursting is ...
