Bidirectional regulation of synaptic SUMOylation by Group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2022 AbstractSUMOylation is a post-translational modification essential to cell homeostasis. A tightly controlled equilibrium between SUMOylation and deSUMOylation processes is also critical to the neuronal function including neurotransmitter release and synaptic transmission and plasticity. Disruption of the SUMOylation homeostasis in neurons is associated

Functional metabotropic glutamate receptors 1 and 5 are expressed in murine podocytes [PDF]
Kidney International, 2012 In non-neuronal cells, glutamate is an extracellular signaling mediator. Since podocytes have glutamate-containing vesicles, we sought to determine glutamate receptor presence and action in glomerular cells. The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) 1, 5, 6, and 8 were found to be expressed in mouse brain and glomeruli; predominantly in podocytes ...

mGluR5 antagonism inhibits cocaine reinforcement and relapse by elevation of extracellular glutamate in the nucleus accumbens via a CB1 receptor mechanism. [PDF]
, 2018 Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) antagonism inhibits cocaine self-administration and reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this action are poorly understood.

Albuminuria and Glomerular Damage in Mice Lacking the Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 1 [PDF]
The American Journal of Pathology, 2011 The metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptor 1 (GRM1) has been shown to play an important role in neuronal cells by triggering, through calcium release from intracellular stores, various signaling pathways that finally modulate neuron excitability, synaptic plasticity, and mechanisms of feedback regulation of neurotransmitter release.

A Critical Role for Sorting Nexin 1 in the Trafficking of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2018 Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) function as modulators of neuronal physiology and they have also been implicated in various neuropsychiatric disorders. Trafficking of mGluRs plays important roles in controlling the precise localization of these receptors at specific region of the cell, as well as it regulates the activity of these ...

Targeting mGlu5 metabotropic glutamate receptors in the treatment of cognitive dysfunction in a mouse model of phenylketonuria [PDF]
, 2018 We studied group-I metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors in Pah(enu2) (ENU2) mice, which mimic the genetics and neurobiology of human phenylketonuria (PKU), a metabolic disorder characterized, if untreated, by autism, and intellectual disability (ID ...

The Role of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 1 Dependent Signaling in Glioma Viability [PDF]
The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2018 Glioma refers to malignant central nervous system tumors that have histologic characteristics in common with glial cells. The most prevalent type, glioblastoma multiforme, is associated with a poor prognosis and few treatment options. On the basis of reports of aberrant expression of mGluR1 mRNA in glioma, evidence that melanoma growth is directly ...

Analgesia induced by the epigenetic drug, L-acetylcarnitine, outlasts the end of treatment in mouse models of chronic inflammatory and neuropathic pain [PDF]
, 2017 Background: L-acetylcarnitine, a drug marketed for the treatment of chronic pain, causes analgesia by epigenetically up-regulating type-2 metabotropic glutamate (mGlu2) receptors in the spinal cord.
