Morphine Tolerance Gated through EZH2‐Mediated Suppression of Trpc5 in Spinal GABAergic Interneurons in Male Mice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic morphine suppresses Trpc5 in spinal GABAergic interneurons via EZH2‐mediated histone modification, reducing Ca2+ influx and GABA release. TRPC5 activation enhances morphine analgesia, while EZH2 inhibition restores efficacy and reverses tolerance.

Cannabis sativa and the endogenous cannabinoid system: therapeutic potential for appetite regulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The herb Cannabis sativa (C. sativa) has been used in China and on the Indian subcontinent for thousands of years as a medicine. However, since it was brought to the UK and then the rest of the western world in the late 19th century, its use has been a ...

LncRNA THUMPD3‐AS1 Regulates Behavioral and Synaptic Structural Abnormalities in Schizophrenia via miR‐485‐5p and ARHGAP8

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Schizophrenia (SCZ) is linked to synaptic structural deficits driven by dysregulated noncoding RNAs. Using the novel ceRNAxis pipeline, THUMPD3‐AS1/miR‐485‐5p/ARHGAP8 is identified as a key regulator of actin cytoskeletal remodeling through noncanonical RhoB/C‐ROCK2 signaling. Modulating this axis ameliorates SCZ‐like phenotypes in mice and aligns with

Placenta ingestion by rats enhances d- and k-opioid antinociception, but suppresses m-opioid antinociception [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Ingestion of placenta or amniotic fluid produces a dramatic enhancement of centrally mediated opioid antinociception in the rat. The present experiments investigated the role of each opioid receptor type (m, d, k) in the antinociception-modulating ...

Investigating the KNDy hypothesis in humans by co-administration of kisspeptin, neurokinin B and naltrexone in men [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Context: A subpopulation of hypothalamic neurons co-localise three neuropeptides namely kisspeptin, neurokinin B (NKB) and dynorphin collectively termed KNDy neurons. Animal studies suggest they interact to affect pulsatile GnRH release (KNDy hypothesis);

Cytotoxic T cells modulate inflammation and endogenous opioid analgesia in chronic arthritis

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2017
BackgroundThis study examined the development of chronic pain, a cardinal symptom of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), in mice with antigen- and collagen-induced arthritis (ACIA). Since the role of CD8+ T cells in arthritis is controversial, we investigated the

Efficacy and safety of a selective partial agonist for nociception/orphanin‐FQ peptide (NOP) receptors in patients with insomnia disorder

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Insomnia is a common sleep disorder, affecting up to 20% of the world population and adversely impacting productivity, health, and overall well‐being. Although pharmacologic options exist to treat insomnia, the health‐related quality of life for patients who are prescribed hypnotics is no higher than for those who are not, revealing a significant ...

Neuroimmune Interaction in the Regulation of Peripheral Opioid-mediated Analgesia in Inflammation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2016
Peripheral immune-cell-mediated analgesia in inflammation is an important endogenous mechanism of pain control. Opioid receptors localized on peripheral sensory nerve terminals are activated by endogenous opioid peptides released from immune cells to ...

The atypical chemokine receptor ACKR3/CXCR7 is a broad-spectrum scavenger for opioid peptides

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Opioids modulate pain, anxiety and stress by activating four subtypes of opioid receptors. The authors show that atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3) is a scavenger for various endogenous opioid peptides regulating their availability without activating ...

UPLC–ESI–QToF–MS Profile of Hydroalcoholic Extract of Persea cordata (Meisn.) and its Antioedematogenic and Antinociceptive Effects in Mice

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
Hydroalcoholic crude extract of Persea cordata showed in its composition, the presence of lignans based on LCESIMS data. This crude extract displayed anti‐oedematogenic and antinociceptive activities in vivo. Abstract This study aimed to establish the chemical profile and evaluate the anti‐oedematogenic and analgesic activities of the hydroalcoholic ...
