Ethanol activation of protein kinase A regulates GABA-A receptor subunit expression in the cerebral cortex and contributes to ethanol-induced hypnosis

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2012
Protein kinases are implicated in neuronal cell functions such as modulation of ion channel function, trafficking and synaptic excitability. Both protein kinase C (PKC) and A (PKA) are involved in regulation of γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA-A ...

Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Reprograms Cancer Metabolism to Form a Metastatic Niche Promoting Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer Brain Metastasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study mainly combines spatial/single‐cell transcriptomics and metabolomics to reveal LOX+ Malig‐5 as NSCLC brain metastasis‐initiating cells, forming a niche with NET‐releasing neutrophils via the NET‐KRT10 axis. The metastatic niche is involved with metabolic reprogramming, with palmitic acid serving as a key metabolite.

In intact islets interstitial GABA activates GABA(A) receptors that generate tonic currents in α-cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
In the rat islets γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is produced by the β-cells and, at least, the α-cells express the GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A) channels). In this study, we examined in intact islets if the interstitial GABA activated the GABA(A) receptors.

The DMHGABA Neurons Play a Crucial Role in The Regulation of Cold‐Induced White Adipose Browning through DMH to LPO Projection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
GABAergic neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMHGABA neurons) act as a key neuronal population controlling cold exposure‐induced white adipose tissue browning. DMHGABA neurons regulate the browning through DMH to the lateral preoptic area (LPO) projection.

Stabilized Ion Selectivity Corrects Activation Drift in Kalium Channelrhodopsins

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As newly emerged optogenetic tools, potassium channelrhodopsins (KCRs) can drift from inhibition to activation during illumination as K⁺ selectivity declines. It is shown that both the absolute K⁺/Na⁺ permeability ratio and its stability over time govern this drift, identify KCR1‐C29D as a reliably inhibitory variant, and outline design principles for ...

Discovery of a Novel and Potent Kir4.1 Inhibitor as a Safe and Rapid‐Onset Antidepressant Agent in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The preferred derivative JX3212 demonstrates strong inhibitory activity against Kir4.1 with favorable druggability and shows significant antidepressant efficacy in vivo. Abstract Major depressive disorder is a serious psychiatric disorder for which novel and fast‐acting antidepressants are required.

Membranes and Synaptosomes Used to Investigate Synaptic GABAergic Currents in Epileptic Patients

Membranes
Among the most prevalent neurological disorders, epilepsy affects about 1% of the population worldwide. We previously found, using human epileptic tissues, that GABAergic neurotransmission impairment is a key mechanism that drives the pathological ...

Transplantation of GABAergic Interneuron Progenitors Restores Cortical Circuit Function in an Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Transplantation of medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) interneuron progenitors into APP/PS1 cortices restored the slow oscillation characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. Donor cells survived, migrated, and matured into functional GABAergic interneurons, forming synaptic connections.
