Sustained Exposure to 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine Induces the Augmentation of Exocytotic Serotonin Release in Rat Organotypic Raphe Slice Cultures

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) causes serotonin efflux via serotonin transporter. Recently, we have reported that sustained exposure to MDMA induced an augmentation of serotonin release in rat raphe serotonergic slice cultures.

Light‐Controlled Conductive Molecular Wire in an Artificial Lipid Membrane

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A photochromic azobenzene derivative is shown to produce a unique photoelectric response when embedded in artificial lipid membranes. In its trans state, it forms conductive “molecular wires” that enhance membrane conductivity in the dark. Light‐induced cis isomerization suppresses this effect, showing that short‐chain molecules can modulate membrane ...

Seasonal Affective Disorder and Serotonin-Related Polymorphisms

Neurobiology of Disease, 2001
Disturbances in central serotonergic systems have been hypothesized to be involved in seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Association between SAD and the shorter allele of the serotonin transporter promoter repeat length polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) has been ...

Carbohydrate‐Mediated Cellular Uptake of Boronic Acid Hybrids In Cellulo and Insulin‐Deficient Zebrafish: Live Imaging and Application of Multiphoton FLIM

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Boronic acid‐based fluorescent hybrids have been used as part of a versatile platform for real‐time metabolic bioimaging across cellular and organismal scales. Including glucose‐responsive imaging in living cells and in an insulin‐deficient vertebrate model, this work opens new opportunities for the development of precision diagnostics, metabolic ...

Oligonucleotide‐induced alternative splicing of serotonin 2C receptor reduces food intake

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2016
The serotonin 2C receptor regulates food uptake, and its activity is regulated by alternative pre‐mRNA splicing. Alternative exon skipping is predicted to generate a truncated receptor protein isoform, whose existence was confirmed with a new antiserum ...

Serotonin drives a novel GABAergic synaptic current recorded in rat cerebellar purkinje cells: a lugaro cell to purkinje cell synapse [PDF]

, 2003
We recorded a novel fast GABAergic synaptic current in cerebellar Purkinje cells in rat brain slices using patch-clamp techniques. Because of a relatively low sensitivity to bicuculline, these currents can be recorded under conditions in which basket and

Palmitoyl Acyltransferase Zdhhc17 Promotes Functional Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury by Targeting the Nuclear Transport Factors Kpna2 and Ipo9

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, we demonstrate that Zdhhc17, acting as a PAT, suppresses neuronal apoptosis and promotes axon regeneration after injury, thereby enhancing functional recovery following SCI. In this context, Kpna2 and Ipo9 serve as novel palmitoylation substrates of Zdhhc17, whose palmitoylation prevents the injury‐induced degradation of their proteins ...
