Targeting glutamate metabolism in melanoma [PDF]
The glutamate metabotropic receptor 1 (GRM1) drives oncogenesis when aberrantly activated in melanoma and several other cancers. Metabolomics reveals that patient-derived xenografts with GRM1-positive melanoma tumors exhibit elevated plasma glutamate levels associated with metastatic melanoma in vivo. Stable isotope tracing and GCMS analysis determined

We show that genetic and pharmacological inhibition of the metabotropic glutamate receptor, DmGluRA extends Drosophila lifespan, improves stress tolerance and alters early‐life locomotion. Several markers indicative of reduced ribosomal biogenesis, a hallmark of longevity, were also detected in these flies.

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

The metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is an attractive target for the treatment of schizophrenia due to its role in regulating glutamatergic signaling in association with the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR). We describe the synthesis of 1H-

Healthy aging is accompanied by transcriptional dysregulation in retinal cells, leading to alterations in key molecular pathways and cellular responses, with the scotopic pathway being particularly affected. We show that rod photoreceptors, essential for initiating scotopic (low‐light) vision, exhibit selective vulnerability to aging‐associated ...

Oxygen/Glucose deprivation induces a reduction in synaptic AMPA receptors on hippocampal CA3 neurons mediated by mGluR1 and adenosine A3 receptors [PDF]
Hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons are highly sensitive to ischemic damage, whereas neighboring CA3 pyramidal neurons are less susceptible. It is proposed that switching of AMPA receptor (AMPAR) subunits on CA1 neurons during an in vitro model of ischemia,

Effect of age on brain metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 measured with [18F]FPEB PET
Objective: Metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5) is integral to the brain glutamatergic system and cognitive function. This study investigated whether aging is associated with decreased brain mGluR5 availability.

Central Amygdala Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 in the Modulation of Visceral Pain [PDF]
Painful bladder syndrome is a debilitating condition that affects 3–6% of women in the United States. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that changes in CNS processing are key to the development of chronic bladder pain conditions but little is known regarding the underlying cellular, molecular, and neuronal mechanisms. Using a mouse model of distention-

Fathoming the kynurenine pathway in migraine: why understanding the enzymatic cascades is still critically important [PDF]
Kynurenine pathway, the quantitatively main branch of tryptophan metabolism, has been long been considered a source of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, although several of its products, the so-called kynurenines, are endowed with the capacity to ...
