Opioid system is necessary but not sufficient for antidepressive actions of ketamine in rodents

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Ketamine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, has generated intense excitement as a therapy for treatment-resistant depression. However, ketamine and its metabolites can act on a wide range of targets, including opioid receptors, which has raised ...

Morphine Tolerance Gated through EZH2‐Mediated Suppression of Trpc5 in Spinal GABAergic Interneurons in Male Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic morphine suppresses Trpc5 in spinal GABAergic interneurons via EZH2‐mediated histone modification, reducing Ca2+ influx and GABA release. TRPC5 activation enhances morphine analgesia, while EZH2 inhibition restores efficacy and reverses tolerance.

LncRNA THUMPD3‐AS1 Regulates Behavioral and Synaptic Structural Abnormalities in Schizophrenia via miR‐485‐5p and ARHGAP8

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schizophrenia (SCZ) is linked to synaptic structural deficits driven by dysregulated noncoding RNAs. Using the novel ceRNAxis pipeline, THUMPD3‐AS1/miR‐485‐5p/ARHGAP8 is identified as a key regulator of actin cytoskeletal remodeling through noncanonical RhoB/C‐ROCK2 signaling. Modulating this axis ameliorates SCZ‐like phenotypes in mice and aligns with

Biased Opioid Ligands

Molecules, 2020
Achieving effective pain management is one of the major challenges associated with modern day medicine. Opioids, such as morphine, have been the reference treatment for moderate to severe acute pain not excluding chronic pain modalities.

Esketamine/Ketamine: Dual‐Action Mechanisms and Clinical Prospects beyond Anesthesia in Psychiatry, Immunology, and Oncology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Esketamine and ketamine are widely used for perioperative analgesia and anesthesia. Despite their established roles in analgesia, sedation, and anesthesia, as well as emerging antidepressant, anti‐tumor, and anti‐inflammatory effects, their clinical use is limited due to side effects and addiction potential.

Biased signaling by endogenous opioid peptides

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance There are >20 different endogenous opioid peptides derived from the three precursors proopiomelanocortin, proenkephalin, and prodynorphin; a long-standing question is the biological utility of having this variety of peptides.
