Understanding the mechanism of action and clinical effects of neuroactive steroids and GABAergic compounds in major depressive disorder

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry, 2023
The pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD) is thought to result from impaired connectivity between key brain networks. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the key inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, working primarily via GABAA receptors ...

Autoimmune Encephalitis in Acute Care—Pathology, Diagnosis, and Management

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is characterized by immune‐mediated inflammation of the brain parenchyma, presenting with various neurological syndromes, including but not limited to seizures, altered consciousness, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and movement disorders.

Relapses, Comorbidities, and Predictors of Outcome in Anti‐GABAA Receptor Encephalitis

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objectives To characterize the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesion dynamics, comorbidities, predictors of relapse, and outcomes in anti‐γ‐aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABAAR) encephalitis, and assess the utility of LIM‐domain‐only‐protein 5 (LMO5) antibodies as tumor markers.

Gephyrin Neurological Autoimmunity

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Gephyrin is a postsynaptic scaffold protein essential for inhibitory neurotransmission. Gephyrin‐immunoglobulin G (IgG) was reported, decades ago, in a single case of paraneoplastic stiff‐person‐like syndrome, but its broader clinical relevance remains unknown.

Zuranolone: A case study in (regulatory) rush to judgement?

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sage, in collaboration with Biogen, submitted a new drug approval for zuranolone for postpartum depression (PPD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) in December 2022. In August 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration granted approval for PPD but denied approval for MDD.

Hsp47 promotes biogenesis of multi-subunit neuroreceptors in the endoplasmic reticulum

open access: yeseLife
Protein homeostasis (proteostasis) deficiency is an important contributing factor to neurological and metabolic diseases. However, how the proteostasis network orchestrates the folding and assembly of multi-subunit membrane proteins is poorly understood.

Transient Activation of GABAB Receptors Suppresses SK Channel Currents in Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta Dopaminergic Neurons. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) are richly innervated by GABAergic neurons. The postsynaptic effects of GABA on SNc DA neurons are mediated by a mixture of GABAA and GABAB receptors.

The interplay between molecular architecture, pharmacology, and suspected adverse drug reactions associated with nonsteroidal androgen antagonists in the United Kingdom

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This work aimed to correlate potential links between the suspected adverse drug reaction (ADR) profile of licensed nonsteroidal androgen receptor antagonists (NSARA) with their unique chemical properties and known off‐target polypharmacology. Methods Physicochemical and polypharmacology data were curated from the Electronic Medicines Compendium ...
