μ‐Opioid Receptor Dynamics in the Parameningeal Tissue During Migraine Attacks

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, Volume 98, Issue 4, Page 777-787, October 2025.
Objective The possible impact of meningeal μ‐opioid receptor (μOR) binding in migraine remains unknown. This study investigated μOR availability in the cranial parameninges involved in migraine initiation via nociceptor activation. Methods We used positron emission tomography with [11C] carfentanil, and measured μOR availability in meninges and ...

Genetically Engineered Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Produce Met-Enkephalin at Augmented Higher Levels in Vitro

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2006
We have reported that transplantation of adrenal medullary chromaffin cells that release endogenous opioid peptides into pain modulatory regions in the CNS produce significant antinociceptive effects in patients with terminal cancer pain.

Gene Network Dysregulation in the Trigeminal Ganglia and Nucleus Accumbens of a Model of Chronic Migraine-Associated Hyperalgesia

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2018
The pharmacological agent nitroglycerin (NTG) elicits hyperalgesia and allodynia in mice. This model has been used to study the neurological disorder of trigeminovascular pain or migraine, a debilitating form of hyperalgesia.

Hypoxia‐inducible factor‐2 stabilization is not sufficient to induce erythropoietin production in deeper medullary fibroblasts

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 603, Issue 19, Page 5777-5804, October 1, 2025.
Abstract figure legend Renal erythropoietin (EPO) production was analysed in anaemic and PHD‐inhibitor‐treated wild‐type mice, and mice with genetic fibroblast‐specific hypoxia‐inducible factor (HIF)‐2 stabilization. We found, that PHD inhibition activated HIF‐2 signalling in interstitial fibroblasts of all kidney zones as observed by the induction of ...

The Expressing Patterns of Opioid Peptides, Anti-opioid Peptides and Their Receptors in the Central Nervous System Are Involved in Electroacupuncture Tolerance in Goats

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2018
To investigate dynamic processes of enkephalin (ENK), cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8), orphanin FQ (OFQ) and their receptors (μ opioid receptor, MOR; CCK B type receptor, CCKBR and opioid receptor-like 1 receptor, OPRL1) in the central nerve system ...

Colocalization of oestrogen receptor immunoreactivity and preproenkephalin mRNA expression to neurons in the superficial laminae of the spinal and medullary dorsal horn of rats

open access: yes, 1996
A double-labelling procedure combining immunohistochemical staining with in situ hybridization using a radiolabelled cRNA probe was employed to demonstrate oestrogen receptor-like immunoreactivity and preproenkephalin-A mRNA in the medullary and spinal ...

Disease‐Modifying Trials in Treated Parkinson's Disease: “Stable Treated” Does Not Equate with Biological Stability

open access: yesMovement Disorders, Volume 40, Issue 9, Page 1778-1790, September 2025.
Abstract Traditionally, clinical trials of putative disease‐modifying therapies in Parkinson's disease have enrolled untreated patients at the earliest clinical stages of their disease. Due to a number of challenges inherent with this approach, there has been a recent move to a different study design, enrolling patients who are already taking “stable ...

A preproenkephalin—Neurofilament chimeric promoter in a helper virus-free herpes simplex virus vector enhances long-term expression in the rat striatum

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2004
Helper virus-free herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) plasmid vectors are an attractive system for gene transfer into neurons in the brain, but promoters that support long-term, neuronal-specific expression are required.

Distribution of glutamate and preproenkephalin messenger RNAs following transient focal cerebral ischemia

open access: yes, 1999
Middle cerebral artery occlusion may result in increased activation of N-methyl- d-aspartate- or α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (AMPA)-type receptors by glutamate and lead to neuronal cell death.

Presentation_1_Cellular Profiles of Prodynorphin and Preproenkephalin mRNA-Expressing Neurons in the Anterior Olfactory Tubercle of Mice.PDF

open access: yes, 2022
The olfactory tubercle (OT) is a striatal region that receives olfactory inputs. mRNAs of prodynorphin (Pdyn) and preproenkephalin (Penk), precursors of dynorphins and enkephalins, respectively, are strongly expressed in the striatum. Both produce opioid
