Platelet Activating Factor Receptor Activation Improves siRNA Uptake and RNAi Responses in Well-differentiated Airway Epithelia

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2014
Well-differentiated human airway epithelia present formidable barriers to efficient siRNA delivery. We previously reported that treatment of airway epithelia with specific small molecules improves oligonucleotide uptake and facilitates RNAi responses ...

Verification of the role of spiperone in the treatment of COPD through bioinformatics analysis

open access: yesInternational Immunopharmacology, 2021
Aim of this study is investigates the influence of spiperone on hydrolase activity pathway in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were calculated by the limma package from microarray data GSE20257, and analysed via gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) for identifying COPD related pathways. The regulation of

Identification, functional characterization and pharmacological profile of a serotonin type-2b receptor in the medically important insect, Rhodnius prolixus

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
In the Chagas disease vector, Rhodnius prolixus, two diuretic hormones act synergistically to dramatically increase fluid secretion by the Malpighian tubules (MTs) during the rapid diuresis that is initiated upon engorgement of vertebrate blood.

Serotonin plus spiperone induce ovarian maturation, spawning and potential release of ovarian maturation inducing pheromones in the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Penaeidae)

open access: yesAquaculture Reports
In this study, we further investigate the hypothesis that serotonin plus spiperone (Ser+Spi) injection induces ovarian maturation and releases ovarian maturation inducing pheromones into the water, thereby stimulating neighboring untreated females ...

Olfactory ensheathing cell transplantation restores functional deficits in rat model of Parkinson's disease: a cotransplantation approach with fetal ventral mesencephalic cells

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2004
Different strategies have been worked out to promote survival of transplanted fetal ventral mesencephalic cells (VMCs) using trophic and nontrophic support. Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) express high level of growth factors including NGF, bFGF, GDNF,

An improved synthesis of (3-N-[11C]methyl)spiperone

open access: yesInternational Journal of Radiation Applications and Instrumentation. Part A. Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 1986
An improved radiochemical synthesis of (3-N-[11C]methyl) spiperone is reported. The radiotracer was prepared by N-alkylation of spiperone in dimethylformamide in the presence of equimolar aqueous tetrabutylammonium hydroxide and was purified by semi-preparative reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (C-18 HPLC). The average radiochemical

EFFECTS OF SPIPERONE ON SELF‐STIMULATION AND OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE MONGOLIAN GERBIL [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, 1978
Self‐stimulation to lever pressing and capacitance probe touching was obtained in Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) from electrode placements within the medial forebrain bundle. Lever pressing was more sensitive to the decremental effects of a central depressant, pentobarbitone, than capacitance probe touching, suggesting its greater ...

Molecular and Endocrine Regulation of Ovarian Maturation in the Black Tiger Prawn (Penaeus monodon) and Associated Challenges in Its Aquaculture

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Over the past four decades, substantial research has investigated the regulation of ovarian maturation and spawning in the black tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon). In this species, female reproduction is strongly suppressed by gonad‐inhibiting hormone (GIH) released from the eyestalk, making eyestalk ablation (ESA) the most widely adopted spawning‐

In vitro Pharmacological Profile of 3-N-(2-Fluoroethyl)Spiperone [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism, 1990
The binding affinities of spiperone and 3-N-(2-fluoroethyl)spiperone (FESP) have been compared for several rodent brain receptor sites and for inhibition of monoamine release and uptake sites. FESP and spiperone have almost identical profiles, namely a high affinity for dopamine-D 2 and ...
