PKCε and Allopregnanolone: functional cross-talk at the GABAA receptor level

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015
Changes in GABAergic inhibition occur during physiological processes, during response to drugs and in various pathologies. These changes can be achieved through direct allosteric modifications at the γ-aminobutyric (GABA) type A (GABAA) receptor protein ...

Role of allopregnanolone-mediated γ-aminobutyric acid A receptor sensitivity in the pathogenesis of premenstrual dysphoric disorder: Toward precise targets for translational medicine and drug development

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2023
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) can be conceptualized as a disorder of suboptimal sensitivity to neuroactive steroid hormones. Its core symptoms (emotional instability, irritability, depression, and anxiety) are related to the increase of stress ...

Regulation of GABAA-Receptor Surface Expression With Special Reference to the Involvement of GABARAP (GABAA Receptor-Associated Protein) and PRIP (Phospholipase C-Related, but Catalytically Inactive Protein)

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007
GABAA receptors are heteropentameric ligand-gated chloride channels composed of a variety of subunits, including α1 – 6, β1 – 3, γ1 – 3, δ, ε, θ, and π, and play a key role in controlling inhibitory neuronal activity.

PGE2 Modulates GABAA Receptors via an EP1 Receptor-Mediated Signaling Pathway

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2015
Aims: PGE2 is one of the most abundant prostanoids in mammalian tissues, but its effect on neuronal receptors has not been well investigated. This study examines the effect of PGE2 on GABAA receptor currents in rat cerebellar granule neurons.

Cryo-EM structure of the benzodiazepine-sensitive α1β1γ2S tri-heteromeric GABAA receptor in complex with GABA

eLife, 2018
Fast inhibitory neurotransmission in the mammalian nervous system is largely mediated by GABAA receptors, chloride-selective members of the superfamily of pentameric Cys-loop receptors.

Lamina-specific changes in hippocampal GABAA/cBZR and mossy fibre sprouting during and following amygdala kindling in the rat

Neurobiology of Disease, 2009
Alterations in hippocampal GABAA/central benzodiazepine receptor (GABAA/cBZR) expression and mossy fibre sprouting (MFS) may have aetiological significance in temporal lobe epileptogenesis. Their relationship with each other is also unknown. We utilised [

Two Distinct Populations of α1α6-Containing GABAA-Receptors in Rat Cerebellum

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2020
GABAA receptors are pentameric GABA-gated chloride channels. The existence of 19 different subunits (six α, three β, three γ, δ, ε, θ, π, and three ρ) in mammalian systems gives rise to an enormous theoretical diversity of GABAA receptor subtypes with ...
