Dysfunctional Light-Evoked Regulation of cAMP in Photoreceptors and Abnormal Retinal Adaptation in Mice Lacking Dopamine D4 Receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Dopamine is a retinal neuromodulator that has been implicated in many aspects of retinal physiology. Photoreceptor cells express dopamine D4 receptors that regulate cAMP metabolism.

SPLICEIT Fluorescent Sensor for Integrating Dopamine Release with Cellular Resolution

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
“Single‐chain protein‐based ligand indication through a chimerically‐engineered integrator tool” (SPLICEIT) is a G‐protein coupled receptor‐based sensor design that leaves a permanent fluorescent mark. We show dopamine detection in primary cultured neurons with a fourfold signal increase normalized to an mCherry (mCh) marker.

A Novel Dopamine Receptor Signaling Unit in Brain: Heterooligomers of D1 And D2 Dopamine Receptors

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2007
The ability of G protein coupled receptors to heterooligomerize and create novel signaling complexes has demonstrated the tremendous potential of these receptors to access diverse signaling cascades, as well as to modulate the nature of the transduced ...

Dopamine D2 Long Receptors Are Critical for Caveolae-Mediated α-Synuclein Uptake in Cultured Dopaminergic Neurons

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2021
α-synuclein accumulation into dopaminergic neurons is a pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease. We previously demonstrated that fatty acid-binding protein 3 (FABP3) is critical for α-synuclein uptake and propagation to accumulate in dopaminergic ...

Could dopamine agonists aid in drug development for anorexia nervosa? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Anorexia nervosa is a severe psychiatric disorder most commonly starting during the teenage-years and associated with food refusal and low body weight. Typically there is a loss of menses, intense fear of gaining weight, and an often delusional quality ...

Multienzyme (3‐in‐1)‐Mimicking a Single Nucleobase‐Derived Bionanozyme for Versatile Environmental and Biomedical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports the development of bioinspired 2D crystalline Bionanozyme derived from a single nucleobase. It effectively mimics multienzyme activity to detect and remove phenolic pollutants, identify disease biomarkers with high sensitivity, and protect cells from oxidative stress.

Identification of dopamine receptors across the extant avian family tree and analysis with other clades uncovers a polyploid expansion among vertebrates

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
Dopamine is an important central nervous system transmitter that functions through two classes of receptors (D1 and D2) to influence a diverse range of biological processes in vertebrates.

Caffeine increases striatal dopamine D2/D3 receptor availability in the human brain

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry, 2015
Caffeine, the most widely consumed psychoactive substance in the world, is used to promote wakefulness and enhance alertness. Like other wake-promoting drugs (stimulants and modafinil), caffeine enhances dopamine (DA) signaling in the brain, which it ...

Mussel‐Inspired Molecular Strategies for Fabricating Functional Materials With Underwater Adhesion and Self‐Healing Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review systematically examines the nanomechanical mechanisms of mussel‐inspired molecular interactions, primarily investigated by direct force measurement techniques such as surface forces apparatus and atomic force microscopy. The macroscopic adhesive and self‐healing performances of mussel‐inspired functional materials, including coacervates ...

Selective blockade of spinal D2DR by levo-corydalmine attenuates morphine tolerance via suppressing PI3K/Akt-MAPK signaling in a MOR-dependent manner

open access: yesExperimental and Molecular Medicine, 2018
Pain medicine: why blocking dopamine receptors alleviates morphine tolerance By blocking dopamine receptors located in the spinal cord, a compound found in a traditional Chinese herbal medicine may help mitigate tolerance to morphine, a common problem ...
