Premature recruitment of oocyte pool and increased mTOR activity in Fmr1 knockout mice and reversal of phenotype with rapamycin. [PDF]
While mutations in the fragile X mental retardation-1 (FMR1) gene are associated with varying reproductive outcomes in females, the effects of a complete lack of FMR1 expression are not known.

Abstract The neurodevelopmental disorder fragile X syndrome (FXS) results from hypermethylation of the FMR1 gene, which prevents production of the FMRP protein. FMRP modulates the expression and function of a variety of proteins, including voltage‐gated ion channels, such as hyperpolarization‐activated and cyclic nucleotide‐gated (HCN) channels, which ...

Cerebral Protein Synthesis in a Knockin Mouse Model of the Fragile X Premutation
The (CGG)n-repeat in the 5′-untranslated region of the fragile X mental retardation gene ( FMR1 ) gene is polymorphic and may become unstable on transmission to the next generation.

It is still unclear why absence of the fragile X protein (FMRP) leads to mental retardation and specific behavioral problems. In neurons, the protein transports specific mRNAs towards the actively translating ribosomes near the synapses.To unravel the ...

Controlled trial of lovastatin combined with an open-label treatment of a parent-implemented language intervention in youth with fragile X syndrome. [PDF]
BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to conduct a 20-week controlled trial of lovastatin (10 to 40 mg/day) in youth with fragile X syndrome (FXS) ages 10 to 17 years, combined with an open-label treatment of a parent-implemented language intervention (

Fragile X mental retardation protein levels are decreased in major psychiatric disorders [PDF]
In individuals with fragile X syndrome (FXS), there is a silencing of the fragile X mental retardation (FMR1) gene, usually due to an expansion of a CGG repeat in the 5’ untranslated region (Oostra and Willemsen, 2009). The subsequent loss of the FMR1 gene product, fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), an RNA-binding protein that travels between

Esketamine and ketamine are widely used for perioperative analgesia and anesthesia. Despite their established roles in analgesia, sedation, and anesthesia, as well as emerging antidepressant, anti‐tumor, and anti‐inflammatory effects, their clinical use is limited due to side effects and addiction potential.

Targeting mGlu5 metabotropic glutamate receptors in the treatment of cognitive dysfunction in a mouse model of phenylketonuria [PDF]
We studied group-I metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors in Pah(enu2) (ENU2) mice, which mimic the genetics and neurobiology of human phenylketonuria (PKU), a metabolic disorder characterized, if untreated, by autism, and intellectual disability (ID ...

Neurogenesis and the Epigenetic Landscape: Role of Histone Modifications and Chromatin Remodeling
Histone methylation and acetylation modulate gene expression by inducing chromatin condensation or relaxation, which in turn regulates transcriptional activity and impacts neurogenesis. ABSTRACT Aims The purpose of this review is to examine how epigenetic regulation particularly chromatin modification and histone methylation controls gene expression ...
