Emerging Trends in Pain Modulation by Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019
Pain is an essential protective mechanism meant to prevent tissue damages in organisms. On the other hand, chronic or persistent pain caused, for example, by inflammation or nerve injury is long lasting and responsible for long-term disability in ...

Neuronal activity patterns in the mediodorsal thalamus and related cognitive circuits are modulated by metabotropic glutamate receptors. [PDF]

, 2015
The mediodorsal thalamus (MD) likely plays an important role in cognition as it receives abundant afferent connections from the amygdala and prefrontal cortex (PFC).

Conformational pathway provides unique sensitivity to a synaptic mGluR

Nature Communications, 2019
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are dimeric G-protein–coupled receptors that operate at neural synapses. Here authors use FRET assays in live cells to monitor mGluR2/7’s activation and reveal how heterodimerization can alter the glutamate ...

Mechanisms associated with activation of intracellular metabotropic glutamate receptor, mGluR5 [PDF]

, 2016
The group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptor, mGluR5, is found on the cell surface as well as on intracellular membranes where it can mediate both overlapping and unique signaling effects.

Prostate-specific membrane antigen cleavage of vitamin B9 stimulates oncogenic signaling through metabotropic glutamate receptors

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2018
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) or folate hydrolase 1 (FOLH1) is highly expressed on prostate cancer. Its expression correlates inversely with survival and increases with tumor grade.

Exploiting the molecular diversity of the synapse to investigate neuronal communication: A guide through the current toolkit

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 56, Issue 12, Page 6141-6161, December 2022., 2022
Chemical synapses are tiny and overcrowded environments enriched with thousands of protein species. Many efforts have been devoted to developing sensors and actuators able to evaluate and control synaptic communication. Most of these recent tools are based on the engineering of one or more specific synaptic proteins used to target active moieties to ...

Non-canonical Mechanisms of Presynaptic Kainate Receptors Controlling Glutamate Release

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
A metabotropic modus operandi for kainate receptors (KARs) was first discovered in 1998 modulating GABA release. These receptors have been also found to modulate glutamate release at different synapses in several brain regions. Mechanistically, a general

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors in Glial Cells: A New Potential Target for Neuroprotection?

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by excitotoxicity and neuroinflammation that finally lead to slow neuronal degeneration and death. Although neurons are the principal target, glial cells are important players as they contribute by either ...

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 ...

Ionotropic glutamate receptors and their implications in cancer and cancer therapeutics

Biomedical and Biotechnology Research Journal, 2021
Glutamine, an excitatory neurotransmitter, is necessary for physiological as well as pathological processes. Other than neuronal disorders and/or cancers, glutamate receptors have also been associated with an array of other malignancies. The metabotropic
