Potential neuroprotective and therapeutic agents and their mechanisms for irradiation‐induced brain injury

Ibrain, EarlyView.
In this review, agents such baicalein, troxerutin, epigallocatechin gallate, quercetin, melatonin, valproic acid, lithium, neurosteroid progesterone, as well as minocycline have been implicated as neuroprotective agents for irradiation‐induced neurological deficits. Also, agents such as glucocorticoids, methylphenidate, vitamin E, bisdemethoxycurcumin,

Presynaptic localization of GluK5 in rod photoreceptors suggests a novel function of high affinity glutamate receptors in the mammalian retina.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Kainate receptors mediate glutamatergic signaling through both pre- and presynaptic receptors. Here, we studied the expression of the high affinity kainate receptor GluK5 in the mouse retina.

Neto Auxiliary Subunits Regulate Interneuron Somatodendritic and Presynaptic Kainate Receptors to Control Network Inhibition

Cell Reports, 2017
Although Netos are considered auxiliary subunits critical for kainate receptor (KAR) function, direct evidence for their regulation of native KARs is limited.

Effect of oxidative stress on ABC transporters: contribution to epilepsy pharmacoresistance [PDF]

, 2017
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder affecting around 1%-2% of population worldwide and its treatment includes use of antiepileptic drugs to control seizures. Failure to respond to antiepileptic drug therapy is a major clinical problem and over expression

Structural Basis of the Light‐Switchable Interaction between an Azobenzene Side Chain in a Biosynthetic Protein and α‐Cyclodextrin

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
X‐ray crystallographic analysis of super‐folder green fluorescent protein (sfGFP), a common reporter protein, displaying p‐(phenylazo)‐L‐phenylalanine (Pap) at amino acid position 39 on its surface in complex with α‐cyclodextrin (α‐CD) reveals an unexpected conformation of the photoswitchable side chain and illustrates its light‐dependent ...

Crucial Roles of the Endocannabinoid 2-Arachidonoylglycerol in the Suppression of Epileptic Seizures

Cell Reports, 2016
Endocannabinoid signaling is considered to suppress excessive excitability of neural circuits and to protect the brain from seizures. However, the precise mechanisms of this effect are poorly understood. Here, we report that 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG),

Nitric oxide modulates the temporal properties of the glutamate response in type 4 OFF bipolar cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Nitric oxide (NO) is involved in retinal signal processing, but its cellular actions are only partly understood. An established source of retinal NO are NOACs, a group of nNOS-expressing amacrine cells which signal onto bipolar, other amacrine and ...

Respiratory dysfunction and fatal apnea during pilocarpine‐induced status epilepticus

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Status epilepticus (SE) is second only to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy as a cause of seizure‐related mortality. The progression of respiratory dysfunction during experimental SE remains poorly characterized. We investigated how pilocarpine‐induced SE affects respiration in mice.
