Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 knockout rescues obesity phenotype in a mouse model of Huntington’s disease

Scientific Reports, 2022
Obesity represents a global health problem and is characterized by metabolic dysfunctions and a low-grade chronic inflammatory state, which can increase the risk of comorbidities, such as atherosclerosis, diabetes and insulin resistance.

Oxygen/Glucose deprivation induces a reduction in synaptic AMPA receptors on hippocampal CA3 neurons mediated by mGluR1 and adenosine A3 receptors [PDF]

, 2011
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,

Recent Developments in the Optical Control of Adrenergic Signaling

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adrenoceptors (ARs) play a vital role in various physiological processes and are key therapeutic targets. The advent of optical control techniques, including optogenetics and photopharmacology, offers the potential to modulate AR signaling with precise temporal and spatial resolution. In this review, we summarize the latest advancements in the

Case Report: Guillain-Barré Syndrome Characterized by Severe Headache Associated With Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 Antibody

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Autoantibodies to metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) are known to be the cause of autoimmune encephalitis, particularly limbic encephalitis, closely related to Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL).

A comprehensive review on adaptive plasticity and recovery mechanisms post‐acquired brain injury

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
This figure illustrates the dynamic process of neurogenesis following brain injury, focusing on the roles of neural stem and progenitor cells at the injury site. Key mechanisms include axonal sprouting, synaptogenesis, dendritic remodeling, and brain‐derived neurotrophic factor signaling via TrkB receptors.

Could MDMA Promote Stemness Characteristics in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells via mGlu5 Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors? [PDF]

Cell Journal, 2012
Objective: Ecstasy, or 3, 4 (±) methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), is a potent neurotoxic drug. One of the mechanisms for its toxicity is the secondary release of glutamate.

Blunted Cystine–Glutamate Antiporter Function in the Nucleus Accumbens Promotes Cocaine-induced Drug Seeking [PDF]

, 2008
Repeated cocaine alters glutamate neurotransmission, in part, by reducing cystine–glutamate exchange via system xc−, which maintains glutamate levels and receptor stimulation in the extrasynaptic compartment.

Changes in synaptic transmission and protein expression in the brains of adult offspring after prenatal inhibition of the kynurenine pathway [PDF]

, 2013
During early brain development, N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are involved in cell migration, neuritogenesis, axon guidance and synapse formation, but the mechanisms which regulate NMDA receptor density and function remain unclear. The kynurenine

Memantine Administration Enhances Glutamatergic and GABAergic Pathways in the Human Hippocampus of Alzheimer's Disease Patients

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One of the traditional treatments in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is administration of memantine, the NMDA receptor antagonist. However, the molecular mechanism of the complex memantine action and the impact on the hippocampal proteome in humans is unknown.
