Platelet serotonin transporter function predicts default-mode network activity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The serotonin transporter (5-HTT) is abundantly expressed in humans by the serotonin transporter gene SLC6A4 and removes serotonin (5-HT) from extracellular space.

Obsessive compulsive disorder, response to serotonin reuptake inhibitors and the serotonin transporter gene [PDF]

Molecular Psychiatry, 1997
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common illness, characterized by anxiety-provoking thoughts and the need to perform rituals. OCD is most commonly treated with a class of pharmacological agents known as serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs).

Smart Nanotechnologies for Multimodal Neuromodulation and Brain Interfacing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Recent advances in smart nanotechnologies are expanding the toolbox for brain interfacing, from wireless neuromodulation and high‐resolution sensing to targeted delivery within the central nervous system. By combining responsive nanomaterials with bioinspired design, these platforms enable multimodal interactions with neurons and glia, while also ...

Early Life Stress and Macaque Amygdala Hypertrophy: Preliminary Evidence for a Role for the Serotonin Transporter Gene.

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
Background: Children exposed to early life stress (ELS) exhibit enlarged amygdala volume in comparison to controls. The primary goal of this study was to examine amygdala volumes in bonnet macaques subjected to maternal variable foraging demand (VFD ...

Highly‐Time‐Resolved Measurements of Tryptophan's Distribution and Homeostatic Regulation in Live, Intact Animals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using a novel, aptamer‐based biosensor, here we have performed 20‐s‐resolved, in situ measurements of plasma‐free tryptophan in the jugular veins of live rats (blue). This unprecedented time‐resolution provides insights into the regulation of tryptophan metabolism in live, intact animals.

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 ...

A study of blood serotonin and serotonin transporter promoter variant (5-HTTLPR) polymorphism in Egyptian autistic children

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2015
Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex, heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder with onset during early childhood. Most studies have reported an elevation in platelet serotonin in persons with autism. The serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine;

SCTR–Expressing Astrocyte–Serotonergic Neuron Signaling Drives Sexual Dimorphism in Depression Through KAT7/H4ac–Foxc2 Epigenetic Axis in an AMPK‐Dependent Manner

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Astrocytic SCTR modulates depressive‐related phenotypes via AMPKα1, whereas lowered Mt1 blunts Megalin‐dependent AMPKα2 signaling in serotonergic neurons. Diminished AMPKα2 hinders KAT7 nuclear translocation, curtails KAT7 occupancy and H4K8ac at the Foxc2 promoter, and represses Foxc2 transcription, revealing cell‐type‐specific AMPK‐linked epigenetic ...

Review of Metabolism, Transport and Role of Serotonin in the Body and the Relation between Serotonin and Diseases

Journal of Fasa University of Medical Sciences, 2013
Serotonin (5-hydroxytriptamine), one of the most important neurotransmitters, is synthesized from amino acid L-tryptophan in some neurons located in the central nervous system and intestine enterochromaffin cells .
