Glutamatergic Neurotransmission: Pathway to Developing Novel Rapid-Acting Antidepressant Treatments

International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology, 2018
The underlying neurobiological basis of major depressive disorder remains elusive due to the severity, complexity, and heterogeneity of the disorder.

Hyperpolarization Modulation of the T‐Type hCav3.2 Channel by Human Synenkephalin [1–53], a Shrew Neurotoxin Analogue without Paralytic Effects

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Human synenkephalin [1–53] (hSYN), an analogue peptide of shrew saliva neurotoxins, was synthesized and its structural characteristics studied. Synthetic hSYN potently activated the T‐type voltage‐gated Ca channel hCav3.2 but did not paralyze mealworms. These findings offer new insight into neurological disorder treatment and evolutionary mechanisms of

Organic Cation Transporter 3 (OCT3) Is Localized to Intracellular and Surface Membranes in Select Glial and Neuronal Cells Within the Basolateral Amygdaloid Complex of Both Rats and Mice [PDF]

, 2016
Organic cation transporter 3 (OCT3) is a high-capacity, low-affinity transporter that mediates corticosterone-sensitive uptake of monoamines including norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, histamine and serotonin. OCT3 is expressed widely throughout the

Escape from TGF‐β‐induced senescence promotes aggressive hallmarks in epithelial hepatocellular carcinoma cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Chronic TGF‐β exposure drives epithelial HCC cells from a senescent state to a TGF‐β resistant mesenchymal phenotype. This transition is characterized by the loss of Smad3‐mediated signaling, escape from senescence, enhanced invasiveness and metastatic potential, and upregulation of key resistance modulators such as MARK1 and GRM8, ultimately promoting

Neuronal Dysfunction and Behavioral Abnormalities Are Evoked by Neural Cells and Aggravated by Inflammatory Microglia in Peroxisomal β-Oxidation Deficiency

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
It is becoming evident that microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), are active contributors in neurological disorders.

Critical role of glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission in the central mechanisms of theta‐burst stimulation

Human Brain Mapping, 2019
Theta‐burst stimulation (TBS) is a varied form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and has more rapid and powerful effects than rTMS.

Antiparallel β‐Sheet as a Key Motif of Amyloid‐β Inhibitor Designed via Topological Peptide Reprogramming

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Targeting Amyloid‐β (Aβ) aggregation requires a peptide‐based approach that accounts for the structural heterogeneity of Aβ. Here, we employ topological reprogramming via disulfide bonds to stabilize antiparallel β‐sheets within the dimeric peptide.

COX inhibition: Catalepsy and Striatum Dopaminergic-GABAergic-Glutamatergic Neurotransmission [PDF]

, 2008
Selective COX-2 and COX-1 inhibitors were administered (i.p. acutely) to normal and parkinsonian rats, followed by the analysis of the striatal dopamine, GABA and glutamate concentrations using the microdialysis technique, simultaneously, the catalepsy ...

Inhibition of Food Intake by PACAP in the Hypothalamic Ventromedial Nuclei is Mediated by NMDA Receptors [PDF]

, 2014
Central injections of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) into the ventromedial nuclei (VMN) of the hypothalamus produce hypophagia that is dependent upon the PAC1 receptor; however, the signaling downstream of this receptor in the

Serotonergic and Dopaminergic Function in Neuropsychiatrically Asymptomatic People With HIV on Antiretroviral Therapy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective People with HIV (PWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) still experience neurocognitive dysfunction and accelerated brain volume loss. To assess whether the serotonergic and dopaminergic systems are affected, we used [11C]DASB positron emission tomography (PET) to assess presynaptic serotonergic function and [18F]FDOPA PET to measure ...
