Role of GABAA receptors in alcohol use disorders suggested by chronic intermittent ethanol (CIE) rodent model

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2017
GABAergic inhibitory transmission is involved in the acute and chronic effects of ethanol on the brain and behavior. One-dose ethanol exposure induces transient plastic changes in GABAA receptor subunit levels, composition, and regional and subcellular ...

New insights into epileptic spasm generation and treatment from the TTX animal model

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Currently, we have an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms underlying infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS). However, over the past decade, significant efforts have been made to develop IESS animal models to provide much‐needed mechanistic information for therapy development.

Propofol maintains Th17/Treg cell balance in elderly patients undergoing lung cancer surgery through GABAA receptor

open access: yesBMC Immunology, 2022
Propofol is widely used in clinical anesthesia due to its advantages of rapid onset and less adverse reactions. This study focused on the role of propofol in the balance of Th17/Treg in elderly patients with lung cancer during perioperative period ...

GABAA Receptor Subunit Expression in Early Adolescent Mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
poster abstractGamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). Of the known receptors for GABA, the pentameric GABAA receptor appears to mediate fast GABA neurotransmission in the CNS.

Tetramethylenedisulfotetramine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Tetramethylenedisulfotetramine (CAS 80-12-6), commonly referred to as TETS, was first synthesized in 1933 as a condensation product of sulfamide and formaldehyde. TETS was subsequently used as a rodenticide until banned worldwide in 1991.

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Homotaurine, a safe blood-brain barrier permeable GABAA-R-specific agonist, ameliorates disease in mouse models of multiple sclerosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
There is a need for treatments that can safely promote regulatory lymphocyte responses. T cells express GABA receptors (GABAA-Rs) and GABA administration can inhibit Th1-mediated processes such as type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis in mouse models.

Epilepsy and systemic autoimmune diseases: A bidirectional two‐sample Mendelian randomization study

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epidemiological data indicates that individuals with epilepsy exhibit an elevated susceptibility to autoimmune disorders, and conversely, those with systemic autoimmune diseases (SAD) demonstrate a heightened predisposition to epilepsy.

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)

open access: yesJournal 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.

A tight coupling between β\u3csub\u3e2\u3c/sub\u3eY97 and β\u3csub\u3e2\u3c/sub\u3eF200 of the GABA\u3csub\u3eA\u3c/sub\u3e receptor mediates GABA binding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The GABAA receptor is an oligopentameric chloride channel that is activated via conformation changes induced upon the binding of the endogenous ligand, GABA, to the extracellular inter-subunit interfaces. Although dozens of amino acid residues at the α/β
