GABA(A) receptor phospho-dependent modulation is regulated by phospholipase C-related inactive protein type 1, a novel protein phosphatase 1 anchoring protein [PDF]

, 2004
GABA(A) receptors are critical in controlling neuronal activity. Here, we examined the role for phospholipase C-related inactive protein type 1 (PRIP-1), which binds and inactivates protein phosphatase 1alpha (PP1alpha) in facilitating GABA(A) receptor ...

Reduced neurosteroid potentiation of GABAA receptors in epilepsy and depolarized hippocampal neurons [PDF]

, 2020
OBJECTIVE: Neurosteroids regulate neuronal excitability by potentiating γ-aminobutyric acid type-A receptors (GABARs). In animal models of temporal lobe epilepsy, the neurosteroid sensitivity of GABARs is diminished and GABAR subunit composition is ...

Covalent Organic Frameworks‐Delivered Reuterin Drives Trained Immunity in Tumor‐Associated Macrophages to Enhance Melanoma Immunotherapy via Glycerophospholipid Metabolism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Covalent organic framework (COF)‐reuterin induces trained immunity in tumor‐associated macrophages, promoting the generation of nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species, thereby enhancing the antitumor immune response. Additionally, COF‐Reuterin directly kills tumor cells while simultaneously eradicating pathogenic intratumoural bacteria.

Caenorhabditis elegans muscle Cys-loop receptors as novel targets of terpenoids with potential anthelmintic activity [PDF]

, 2019
The anthelmintic treatment of nematode infections remains the pillar of worm control in both human and veterinary medicine. Since control is threatened by the appearance of drug resistant nematodes, there is a need to develop novel compounds, among which

Igfbp2 Downregulation in PVT‐CeA Glutamatergic Circuits Drives Neonatal Anesthesia‐Induced Fear Memory Deficits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Repeated neonatal sevoflurane exposure impairs adolescent fear memory through Igfbp2 downregulation in paraventricular thalamus‐central amygdala glutamatergic projections. Restoring Igfbp2 or activating this circuit rescues memory deficits, neuronal excitability, and spine density, identifying a precise molecular target for preventing anesthesia ...

Isovaline does not activate GABA(B) receptor-coupled potassium currents in GABA(B) expressing AtT-20 cells and cultured rat hippocampal neurons.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Isovaline is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that has analgesic properties. R-isovaline is a proposed agonist of the γ-aminobutyric acid type B (GABA(B)) receptor in the thalamus and peripheral tissue.

Multiple and plastic receptors mediate tonic GABAA receptor currents in the hippocampus [PDF]

, 2005
Persistent activation of GABAA receptors by extracellular GABA (tonic inhibition) plays a critical role in signal processing and network excitability in the brain.

An Amygdala‐hippocampus Circuit for Endocannabinoid Modulation of Anxiety Avoidance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study employs three synapse‐specific endocannabinoids (eCB) probes to monitor dynamic eCB release, activate CB1Rs and knockdown 2‐AG biosynthesis enzymes in glutamatergic anterior basolateral amygdala ‐ ventral hippocampus (aBLA–vHPC) circuit. At aBLA–vHPC circuits, activation of CB1Rs reduce anxiety avoidance, and knockdown of eCB biosynthesis ...

Co-operative Effect Between γ-Aminobutyric Acid A Receptors and Central-Type Benzodiazepine Receptors on Amylase Release in Rat Parotid Acinar Cells

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
We investigated the inhibitory role of γ-aminobutyric acid A (GABA A ) receptors on amylase release and the evidence for functional coupling with central-type benzodiazepine receptors in rat parotid acinar cells.

Contribution of Prostaglandin E2‐Induced Neuronal Excitation to Drug Resistance in Glioblastoma Countered by a Novel Blood–Brain Barrier Crossing Celecoxib Derivative

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain cancer that often recurs and resists chemotherapy. This study found that a chemical called PGE2 causes surrounding brain cells (neurons) to become over‐excited, which makes GBM cells resistant to treatment. Researchers developed a new drug, “Compound 11,” which can cross into the brain and effectively block ...
