The Role of the Mammalian Prion Protein in the Control of Sleep [PDF]
Pathogens, 2017 Sleep disruption is a prevalent clinical feature in many neurodegenerative disorders, including human prion diseases where it can be the defining dysfunction, as in the case of the “eponymous” fatal familial insomnia, or an early-stage symptom as in ...

Salt-inducible kinase 1 in the rat pinealocyte: adrenergic regulation and role in arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase gene transcription. [PDF]
Endocrinology, 2009 The recognition of the basic leucine zipper domain in the regulation of transcriptional activity of cAMP response element-binding protein by salt-inducible kinase (SIK) prompted our investigation of the regulatory role of this kinase in the induction of ...

Neural Adrenergic/Cyclic AMP Regulation of the Immunoglobulin E Receptor α-Subunit Expression in the Mammalian Pinealocyte [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2007 The high affinity immunoglobulin E receptor (FcϵRI) complex is dedicated to immunoglobulin E-mediated allergic responses. Expression of the FcϵRI receptor is thought to be relatively stable and limited to mast cells, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes ...

Ceramide inhibits the outward potassium current in rat pinealocytes [PDF]
Journal of Neurochemistry, 2001 In the present study, we investigated the effect of ceramide on the outward K+ current in rat pinealocytes using whole cell and single channel recordings. Three components of the whole cell outward K+ current were separated, an iberiotoxin (IBTX)‐sensitive K+ current (IKCa), a transient A current (IA) and a delayed rectifier current (IK).

Archives of histology and cytology, 1989 The pinealocytes--the main cellular elements of the pineal organ--are polarized, displaying a (photo)receptor and an axonic effector cell pole. The receptor endings are of two main types: they bear rod-type or cone-type outer segments characterized by ...

Adrenergic control of pinealocyte chondriome – an in vitro study [PDF]
Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2016 Abstract Norepinephrine released from sympathetic innervation plays the main role in the regulation of melatonin secretion in mammalian pinealocytes. The present study was conducted for the following reasons: 1) to establish whether the pinealocyte chondriome is controlled by norepinephrine, 2) to determine the effect of adrenergic stimulation on ...

Connexin36 localization to pinealocytes in the pineal gland of mouse and rat. [PDF]
Eur J Neurosci, 2017 AbstractSeveral cell types in the pineal gland are known to establish intercellular gap junctions, but the connexin constituents of those junctions have not been fully characterized. Specifically, the expression of connexin36 (Cx36) protein andmRNAhas been examined in the pineal, but the identity of cells that produce Cx36 and that form Cx36‐containing

Active zone proteins are dynamically associated with synaptic ribbons in rat pinealocytes [PDF]
, 2008 Synaptic ribbons (SRs) are prominent organelles that are abundant in the ribbon synapses of sensory neurons where they represent a specialization of the cytomatrix at the active zone (CAZ).

Microglia in Circumventricular Organs: The Pineal Gland Example. [PDF]
ASN Neuro, 2022 The circumventricular organs (CVOs) are unique areas within the central nervous system. They serve as a portal for the rest of the body and, as such, lack a blood-brain barrier.
