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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Neurochemical Changes in the Mouse Hippocampus Underlying the Antidepressant Effect of Genetic Deletion of P2X7 Receptors. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Recent investigations have revealed that the genetic deletion of P2X7 receptors (P2rx7) results in an antidepressant phenotype in mice. However, the link between the deficiency of P2rx7 and changes in behavior has not yet been explored.

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

open access: yesNature 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 Glutamate2 Receptors Play a Key Role in Modulating Head Twitches Induced by a Serotonergic Hallucinogen in Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
There is substantial evidence that glutamate can modulate the effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine2A (5-HT2A) receptor activation through stimulation of metabotropic glutamate2/3 (mGlu2/3) receptors in the prefrontal cortex.

Neuroprotection and Functional Recovery Associated with Decreased Microglial Activation Following Selective Activation of mGluR2/3 Receptors in a Rodent Model of Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesParkinson's Disease, 2010
Clinical trials have demonstrated positive proof of efficacy of dual metabotropic glutamate receptor 2/3 (mGluR2/3) agonists in both anxiety and schizophrenia.

A combinatorial approach of Proteomics and Systems Biology in unravelling the mechanisms of acute kidney injury (AKI): involvement of NMDA receptor GRIN1 in murine AKI [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent condition in hospitalised patients undergoing major surgery or the critically ill and is associated with increased mortality.

Contribution of Cystine-Glutamate Antiporters to the Psychotomimetic Effects of Phencyclidine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Altered glutamate signaling contributes to a myriad of neural disorders, including schizophrenia. While synaptic levels are intensely studied, nonvesicular release mechanisms, including cystine–glutamate exchange, maintain high steady-state glutamate ...

Optogenetics-induced activation of glutamate receptors improves memory function in mice with Alzheimer’s disease

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2019
Optogenetics is a combination of optics and genetics technology that can be used to activate or inhibit specific cells in tissues. It has been used to treat Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy and neurological diseases, but rarely Alzheimer’s disease.

LY354740 Reduces Extracellular Glutamate Concentration, Inhibits Phosphorylation of Fyn/NMDARs, and Expression of PLK2/pS129 α-Synuclein in Mice Treated With Acute or Sub-Acute MPTP

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Glutamate overactivity in basal ganglia critically contributes to the exacerbation of dopaminergic neuron degeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Activation of group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlu2/3 receptors), which can decrease excitatory

An expanding range of targets for kynurenine metabolites of tryptophan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism accounts for most of the tryptophan that is not committed to protein synthesis and includes compounds active in the nervous and immune systems.
