Ligand bias and inverse agonism on 5‐HT2A receptor‐mediated modulation of G protein activity in post‐mortem human brain

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Whereas biased agonism on the 5‐HT2A receptor has been ascribed to hallucinogenic properties of psychedelics, no information about biased inverse agonism on this receptor is available. In schizophrenia, increased 5‐HT2A receptor constitutive activity has been suggested, highlighting the therapeutic relevance of inverse ...

Backbone-free duplex-stacked monomer nucleic acids exhibiting Watson-Crick selectivity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We demonstrate that nucleic acid (NA) mononucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs and rNTPs), at sufficiently high concentration and low temperature in aqueous solution, can exhibit a phase transition in which chromonic columnar liquid crystal ordering ...

ERNEST COST action overview on the (patho)physiology of GPCRs and orphan GPCRs in the nervous system

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of cell surface receptors that play a critical role in nervous system function by transmitting signals between cells and their environment. They are involved in many, if not all, nervous system processes, and their dysfunction has been linked to various neurological disorders representing important

Glutaminase‐1 Mediated Glutaminolysis to Glutathione Synthesis Maintains Redox Homeostasis and Modulates Ferroptosis Sensitivity in Cancer Cells

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
GLS1‐mediated glutaminolysis supports GSH synthesis in cancer cells. GLS1 KO increases ROS, downregulates GPX4, and upregulates GPX1, making cells more sensitive to ferroptosis. Combining GLS1 or GPX1 inhibitors with a GPX4 inhibitor synergistically suppresses cancer growth.

Toward molecular phenotyping of temporal lobe epilepsy by spatial omics

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective In temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), detection of the epileptogenic zone predicts a good surgical outcome. When submitted to 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET), some patients display lateralized, focal hypometabolism in the temporal lobe (PET+), whereas others appear normometabolic (PET−).

PI5P4K inhibitors: promising opportunities and challenges

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Developing inhibitors is like climbing a steep, challenging mountain. PI5P4K inhibitors hold significant promise for the treatment of cancer, immune disorders, and neurological diseases. However, the path to success is fraught with hurdles, and researchers are therefore required to apply their expertise to overcome critical “checkpoints.” While some ...

Y12C mutation disrupts IMPDH cytoophidia and alters cancer metabolism

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
IMPDH, the rate‐limiting enzyme for de novo GTP synthesis, can form polymers and cytoophidia to enhance activity by reducing GTP inhibition. In this study, a Y12C mutation in IMPDH2 was introduced via ABEmax base‐editing in human cancer cell lines to disrupt IMPDH polymerisation.
