Presynaptic Release-Regulating Sphingosine 1-Phosphate 1/3 Receptors in Cortical Glutamatergic Terminals: Adaptations in EAE Mice and Impact of Therapeutic FTY720

open access: yesCells, 2023
This study provides evidence of the existence of presynaptic inhibitory sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1R) and facilitatory S1P3R in cortical nerve endings (synaptosomes) of healthy mice.

Study on the Neuroprotective, Radical-Scavenging and MAO-B Inhibiting Properties of New Benzimidazole Arylhydrazones as Potential Multi-Target Drugs for the Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2022
Oxidative stress is a key contributing factor in the complex degenerating cascade in Parkinson’s disease. The inhibition of MAO-B affords higher dopamine bioavailability and stops ROS formation.

Cell-Based Radiotracer Binding and Uptake Inhibition Assays: A Comparison of In Vitro Methods to Assess the Potency of Drugs That Target Monoamine Transporters

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
High-affinity monoamine transporters are targets for prescribed medications and stimulant drugs of abuse. Therefore, assessing monoamine transporter activity for candidate medications and newly-emerging drugs of abuse provides essential information for ...

Uptake of dihydromorphine- 3H by synaptosomes [PDF]

open access: yesLife Sciences, 1971
Abstract Tritium-labeled dihydromorphine (DHM-3H) was accumulated in vitro by the synaptosomal fraction (nerve endings) of rat cerebral cortex. Particles derived from nerve endings by osmotic shock exhibited a higher concentration of DHM- 3H than did other subcellular fractions of brain when the isolated fractions were incubated with the ...

The Niemann-Pick C1 protein in recycling endosomes of presynaptic nerve terminals

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2006
Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a fatal, neurodegenerative disorder caused in 95% of cases by loss of function of NPC1, a ubiquitous endosomal transmembrane protein.

Aberrant Synaptic PTEN in Symptomatic Alzheimer’s Patients May Link Synaptic Depression to Network Failure

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2021
In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Amyloid β (Aβ) impairs synaptic function by inhibiting long-term potentiation (LTP), and by facilitating long-term depression (LTD).

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE AND IONOPHORES ON THE PERMEABILITY OF SYNAPTOSOMES [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
Synaptosomes swell rapidly in isosmotic solutions of glycerol or urea, but the swelling in solutions of larger non-electrolytes, such as erythritol, glucose or sucrose is slower.

Silymarin Inhibits Glutamate Release and Prevents against Kainic Acid-Induced Excitotoxic Injury in Rats

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2020
Silymarin, a polyphenoic flavonoid derived from the seeds of milk thistle (Silybum marianum), exhibits neuroprotective effects. In this study, we used a model of rat cerebrocortical synaptosomes to investigate whether silymarin affects the release of ...

Presynaptic 5-HT2A-mGlu2/3 Receptor–Receptor Crosstalk in the Prefrontal Cortex: Metamodulation of Glutamate Exocytosis

open access: yesCells, 2022
The glutamatergic nerve endings of a rat prefrontal cortex (PFc) possess presynaptic 5-HT2A heteroreceptors and mGlu2/3 autoreceptors, whose activation inhibits glutamate exocytosis, and is measured as 15 mM KCl-evoked [3H]D-aspartate ([3H]D-asp) release

Surface Properties of Synaptosomes in the Presence of L-Glutamic and Kainic Acids: In Vitro Alteration of the ATPase and Acetylcholinesterase Activities

open access: yesMembranes, 2021
Morphologically and functionally identical to brain synapses, the nerve ending particles synaptosomes are biochemically derived membrane structures responsible for the transmission of neural information.
