Circuit dissection of the role of somatostatin in itch and pain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Stimuli that elicit itch are detected by sensory neurons that innervate the skin. This information is processed by the spinal cord; however, the way in which this occurs is still poorly understood.

Piezo2 in Mechanosensory Biology: From Physiological Homeostasis to Disease‐Promoting Mechanisms

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Piezo2 channels are essential mechanotransducers regulating touch, proprioception and visceral mechanosensation across physiological systems, emerging as therapeutic targets for pathological mechanical hypersensitivity and neurogenic disorders. ABSTRACT Piezo2, a mechanically activated ion channel, serves as the key molecular transducer for touch ...

SSTR2 Mediates the Inhibitory Effect of SST/CST on Lipolysis in Chicken Adipose Tissue

open access: yesAnimals
Somatostatin shows an anti-lipolytic effect in both chickens and ducks. However, its molecular mediator remains to be identified. Here, we report that somatostatin type 2 receptor (SSTR2) is expressed at a high level in chicken adipose tissue.

Synaptic ultrastructural alterations in human focal cortical dysplasia: Insights from volume electron microscopy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a developmental malformation of the cerebral cortex and a leading cause of drug‐resistant epilepsy in children and young adults. Disruption of the excitation–inhibition (E–I) balance is a hallmark of neuronal hyperexcitability in FCD, yet the underlying synaptic ultrastructural changes remain poorly ...

Expression of mammalian GPCRs in C. elegans generates novel behavioural responses to human ligands

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2006
Background G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a crucial role in many biological processes and represent a major class of drug targets. However, purification of GPCRs for biochemical study is difficult and current methods of studying receptor-ligand

Effects of cell therapy on seizures in animal models of epilepsy: Systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract This study was undertaken to systematically evaluate the efficacy of cell therapy in reducing seizures in animal models of chronic epilepsy. Three databases, Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, and Web of Science, were searched using predetermined eligibility criteria.

TALK-1 reduces delta-cell endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasmic calcium levels limiting somatostatin secretion

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2018
Objective: Single-cell RNA sequencing studies have revealed that the type-2 diabetes associated two-pore domain K+ (K2P) channel TALK-1 is abundantly expressed in somatostatin-secreting δ-cells. However, a physiological role for TALK-1 in δ-cells remains

Nanoparticle‐encapsulated neuropeptide Y provides robust seizure protection in SCN1A‐derived epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Neuropeptides have garnered great interest as potential treatments for epilepsy due to their impact on neuronal excitability through modulation of ion channels and neurotransmitter receptor activity. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36‐amino acid neuropeptide that is expressed primarily by γ‐aminobutyric acidergic (GABAergic) interneurons ...
