Evaluation of preclinical antipsychotic models used to support first‐in‐human clinical trials

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Schizophrenia is regarded as a complex and heterogeneous psychiatric disorder, characterised by diverse symptoms and comorbidities, which complicate both clinical management and drug development. Current pharmacological treatment, primarily based on dopamine D2 receptor antagonism or partial agonism, which has not markedly progressed since the

N-acetyl-cysteine, a drug that enhances the endogenous activation of group-II metabotropic glutamate receptors, inhibits nociceptive transmission in humans. [PDF]

, 2015
Emerging research seeking novel analgesic drugs focuses on agents targeting group-II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlu2 and mGlu3 receptors). N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) enhances the endogenous activation of mGlu2/3 receptors by activating the glial ...

Binge drinking triggers VGLUT3-mediated glutamate secretion and subsequent hepatic inflammation by activating mGluR5/NOX2 in Kupffer cells

Nature Communications
Glutamate, a crucial player in hepatic amino acid metabolism, has been relatively unexplored in immune cell activation. We show in a study with male mice that hepatic glutamate accumulates in vesicles of perivenous hepatocytes through vesicular glutamate

Metabotropic glutamate receptors and neuroadaptation to antidepressants: imipramine‐induced down‐regulation of β‐adrenergic receptors in mice treated with metabotropic glutamate 2/3 receptor ligands

Journal of Neurochemistry, 2005
AbstractAntidepressant drugs have a clinical latency that correlates with the development of neuroadaptive changes, including down‐regulation of β‐adrenergic receptors in different brain regions. The identification of drugs that shorten this latency will have a great impact on the treatment of major depressive disorders.

Vesicular glutamate transporter VGLUT2 expression emerges in substantia nigra dopamine neurons in mouse models of parkinsonism in the absence of neurodegeneration

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Subsets of midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons express the vesicular glutamate transporter VGLUT2 and can release the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. VGLUT2+ DA neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) were shown to be more resistant to neurodegeneration in animal models of Parkinson's disease (PD ...

Beyond TFRC: The Pivotal Role of mGluR2 in Feline Calicivirus Entry and Replication

Veterinary Sciences
Feline calicivirus (FCV) is among the few members of the Caliciviridae family that can replicate efficiently in vitro. Our recent studies have found the Transferrin Receptor Protein (TFRC) is an entry receptor that facilitates the internalization of FCV.

Epigenetic mechanisms and therapeutic innovations in chronic pain‐associated neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic pain, marked by nociceptive sensitization and maladaptive neuroplasticity, affects 30% of the global population with escalating socioeconomic burdens. Epidemiological data show a 2‐3‐fold increase in neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities among individuals with chronic pain, where epigenetic dysregulation serves as a key mechanism linking ...

Determining the neurotransmitter concentration profile at active synapses [PDF]

, 2009
Establishing the temporal and concentration profiles of neurotransmitters during synaptic release is an essential step towards understanding the basic properties of inter-neuronal communication in the central nervous system.

Calcium Signaling Pathways Involved in Long-Term Potentiation at Excitatory Synapses on Parvalbumin Positive Fast-Spiking GABAergic Neurons in the Mouse Visual Cortex [PDF]

Cell Journal, 2009
Objective: Recently, we reported the presence of metabotropic glutamate receptor type 5(mGluR-5) dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) at excitatory synapses on fast-spikingGABAergic (FS-GABA) cells in the visual cortex.

Effects of acute versus repeated cocaine exposure on the expression of endocannabinoid signaling-related proteins in the mouse cerebellum

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2014
Growing awareness of cerebellar involvement in addiction is based on the cerebellum’s intermediary position between motor and reward, potentially acting as an interface between motivational and cognitive functions.
