Immunological Profiling suggests an Association between Treg dysfunction and Pain in Knee Osteoarthritis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background Pain is the hallmark symptom of osteoarthritis (OA) and its biological drivers remain poorly understood. While the role of innate immunity in OA has been extensively studied, the involvement of adaptive immunity, in particular regulatory T cells (Tregs), is not well understood. Methods We performed omics profiling of peripheral blood from 46

Peroxiredoxin 6 mediates Gαi protein-coupled receptor inactivation by cJun kinase

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Opioid receptors are important modulators of nociceptive pain. Here the authors show that opioid receptor activation recruits peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) to the receptor-Gαi complex by c-Jun N-terminal kinase, resulting in Gαi depalmitoylation and enhanced ...

The G protein-coupled receptor heterodimer network (GPCR-HetNet) and its hub components [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) oligomerization has emerged as a vital characteristic of receptor structure. Substantial experimental evidence supports the existence of GPCR-GPCR interactions in a coordinated and cooperative manner.

The integration of the British Pharmacological Society's prescription safety assessment into the WHO 6‐step model of rational pharmacotherapy in a Turkish medical school

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims At Koç University School of Medicine, a one‐week rational pharmacotherapy (RPHM) programme, modelled after WHO 6‐step, has been introduced in the fourth‐year curriculum to improve prescription skills. For efficient problem‐based learning (PBL) sessions on a prespecified topic, students need to brush up on basic pharmacology knowledge, so we ...

Central Injection of Endomorphin-2, but not Endomorphin-1, Increases Food Intake in Chicks via μ1-opioid Receptors

open access: yesThe Journal of Poultry Science, 2007
The endogenous tetrapeptides endomorphin-1 and -2 are potent, selective μ-opioid receptor agonists in mammals. The present study was done to elucidate whether central injection of endomorphins enhances feeding behavior in chicks, and to investigate ...

Retrospective analysis reveals significant association of hypoglycemia with tramadol and methadone in contrast to other opioids. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Tramadol is one of the most commonly used analgesics worldwide, classified as having a low abuse potential by U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, and often recommended in pain management guidelines.

Efficacy and safety of a selective partial agonist for nociception/orphanin‐FQ peptide (NOP) receptors in patients with insomnia disorder

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Insomnia is a common sleep disorder, affecting up to 20% of the world population and adversely impacting productivity, health, and overall well‐being. Although pharmacologic options exist to treat insomnia, the health‐related quality of life for patients who are prescribed hypnotics is no higher than for those who are not, revealing a significant ...

Threonine 180 Is Required for G-protein-coupled Receptor Kinase 3- and β-Arrestin 2-mediated Desensitization of the µ-Opioid Receptor in Xenopus Oocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
To determine the sites in the µ-opioid receptor (MOR) critical for agonist-dependent desensitization, we constructed and coexpressed MORs lacking potential phosphorylation sites along with G-protein activated inwardly rectifying potassium channels ...

Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system to identify therapeutics for alcohol use disorders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) cause serious problems in society and few effective treatments are available. Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is an excellent invertebrate model to study the neurobiological basis of human behavior with a conserved, fully
