Adenylyl Cyclase 8 in Dorsal CA1 Neurons Prevents Depressive‐Like Behaviors by Maintaining Neuronal Excitability and Glutamatergic Neurotransmission Through TIP39‐PTH2R Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Depression, a prevalent neuropsychiatric disorder with unclear pathogenesis, involves dysfunctional adenylyl cyclase 8 (Adcy8) as a key risk factor. Chronic stress selectively reduces Adcy8 expression in the dorsal CA1 (dCA1) neurons. Depletion of Adcy8 in dCA1 excitatory neurons induces depressive‐like behaviors by impairing neuronal excitability and ...

Microbial lysate upregulates host oxytocin [PDF]

, 2017
Neuropeptide hormone oxytocin has roles in social bonding, energy metabolism, and wound healing contributing to good physical, mental and social health. It was previously shown that feeding of a human commensal microbe Lactobacillus reuteri (L.

Comparative Single‐Cell Transcriptomic Atlas Reveals the Genetic Regulation of Reproductive Traits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cross‐species single‐cell transcriptomic atlas of reproductive and central nervous system tissues from sheep and humans reveals conserved cellular programs and regulatory networks that regulated fertility. Integration with GWAS for sheep lifetime average litter size identifies UNC5–SLIT–BMP signaling as a core pathway coordinating neuroendocrine ...

Factor XIII Supplementation in Postpartum Hemorrhage: From Biological Rationale to Clinical Implementation

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains the leading cause of preventable maternal mortality despite standard interventions. Recent fibrinogen trials failed to improve outcomes, prompting interest in coagulation factor XIII (FXIII). FXIII functions as “molecular cement,” cross‐linking fibrin and stabilizing clots.

Design and characterization of superpotent bivalent ligands targeting oxytocin receptor dimers via a channel-like structure [PDF]

, 2016
Dimeric/oligomeric states of G-protein coupled receptors have been difficult to target. We report here bivalent ligands consisting of two identical oxytocin-mimetics that induce a three order magnitude boost in G-protein signaling of oxytocin receptors ...

Oxytocin Protects Nigrostriatal Dopamine Signal via Activating GABAergic Circuit in the MPTP‐Induced Parkinson's Disease Model

Advanced Science
The most pronounced neuropathological feature of Parkinson's disease (PD) is the loss of dopamine (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc), which depletes striatal DA.

Characterization and Expression of Oxytocin and the Oxytocin Receptor

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2000
Oxytocin, a nonapeptide hormone and neurotransmitter, is expressed in a variety of tissues, as are its receptors. In vivo, oxytocin acts as a paracrine and/or autocrine mediator of multiple biological effects. These effects are exerted primarily through interactions with G-protein-coupled oxytocin/vasopressin receptors, which, via G(q) and G(i ...

Identification of histone deacetylase inhibitor targeting type I interferon and B‐cell abnormalities in systemic lupus erythematosus

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by increased type I interferon (IFN‐I) and autoantibody production. This study aimed to identify drugs that can inhibit both IFN‐I and autoantibody production. Methods We identified an inhibitor of IFN‐I production from a chemical library.
