Title: Peripheral Benzodiazepine Receptor (PBR) New Insight in Cell Proliferation and Cell Differentiation Review. VOLUME: 3 ISSUE: 1. Author(s):Lorenzo Corsi, Elisa Geminiani and Mario Baraldi. Affiliation:Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, 41100 Modena, Italy.. Keywords:Cell proliferation, tumour, PBR, translocator protein, cell survival, PK11195. Abstract: The peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR), is an 18 kDa protein of the mammalian mitochondrial membrane and is a highly conserved protein among the mammalian. PBR is involved in numerous biological functions, including steroid biosynthesis, mitochondrial oxidative phosporylation and cell proliferation. The presence of PBR at the nuclear subcellular level has been demonstrated in aggressive breast cancer cell line and human glioma cells, where it seems to be involved in cell proliferation. In our previous studies we investigated the presence of nuclear PBR in different hepatic tumour cell lines with ...

In the present study, cerebellar granule cells were identified morphologically in primary culture and their characteristics were examined. The apparent affinity of the receptor for GABA increased during development in vitro (Fig. 1) and furosemide, an antagonist of the α6 subunit-containing GABAA receptor, inhibited GABA-induced currents more potently at 14 DIV than at 7 DIV (Fig. 2). These findings might be related to an increase in the amount of GABAA receptors containing the α6 subunit during granule cell maturation in vitro (Zheng et al., 1994).. The GABAA receptor system has long been hypothesized to be a target of ethanol action. Despite numerous studies conducted so far, the effects of alcohol on the GABAA receptor function remain controversial (Aguayo et al., 2002). A recent study has shown that low concentrations of ethanol enhance tonic inhibition mediated by the δ subunit-containing GABAA receptors in the hippocampal (Wei et al., 2004) and the cerebellar granule cells (Hanchar et ...

AU - Feng, W.. AU - Schaefer, Saul. PY - 2008. Y1 - 2008. N2 - The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is a key mitochondrial protein involved in the transport of calcium. Its function is, in part, regulated by associated proteins such as the 18 kD peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR). We tested the hypothesis that an endogenous ligand of the PBR, hemin, could modulate calcium transport by modifying VDAC conductance. In isolated rat cardiac mitochondria, hemin (0-10 μM) exhibited multiple, time-dependent effects. Initially, hemin reduced the calcium uptake rate in a dose-dependent manner, an effect independent of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) as it was not altered by cyclosporine A (CsA). However, subsequent to this inhibitory effect on calcium influx, hemin facilitated MPT as ...

Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GABRA1 gene. GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain where it acts at GABA-A receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. Chloride conductance of these channels can be modulated by agents such as benzodiazepines that bind to the GABA-A receptor. At least 16 distinct subunits of GABA-A receptors have been identified. The GABRA1 receptor is the specific target of the z-drug class of nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic agents and is responsible for their hypnotic and hallucinogenic effects.

The ambient GABA that is present in the extracellular space surrounding all neurons of the brain is believed to be capable of persistently activating high‐affinity extrasynaptic GABA-A receptors to generate a tonic membrane conductance. This generates a form of shunting inhibition that is capable of influencing cellular and network excitability. Extrasynaptic δ subunit-containing GABA-A receptors are known to generate this form of tonic inhibition in a number of defined brain regions and these are emerging as important clinical drug targets for the treatment of a number of neurological conditions. This thesis examines the functional and pharmacological properties of recombinant and native GABA-A receptors that allow them to function as ambient GABA detectors. Surprisingly, the data presented in this Thesis shows that the behaviour of these extrasynaptic GABA-A receptor populations is dramatically influenced by the steady-state GABA concentration they experience. For example, recombinant ...

Tonic GABAA Receptor Currents in the Thalamus Delia Belelli, Dianne R. Peden, Thomas W. Rosahl, Keith A. Wafford, and Jeremy J. Lambert. (see pages 11513-11520). David W. Cope, Stuart W. Hughes, and Vincenzo Crunelli. (see pages 11553-11563). Several recent studies have reported tonic activation of extrasynaptic GABAA receptors containing the δ subunit. This week, two papers examined the action of tonic GABAA currents in the thalamus. Cope et al. report that most thalamocortical neurons of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus and ventrobasal (VB) complex, but not the nucleus reticularis, had tonic GABAA currents. Block of the tonic current caused cells to switch from low-threshold bursts of actions potentials to tonic firing. Belelli et al. also examined tonic GABAA current in VB cells using the hypnotic drug etomidate, which acts on β2 subunit-containing receptors. Activation of the tonic current in VB cells was associated with increases in the slow-wave activity characteristic of the ...

N2 - The function, regulation and cellular distribution of GABAA receptor subunits have been extensively documented in the adult rodent brain and are linked to numerous neurological disorders. However, there is a surprising lack of knowledge on the cellular (sub-) distribution of GABAA receptor subunits and of their expressional regulation in developing healthy and diseased foetal human brains. To propose a role for GABAA receptor subunits in neurodevelopmental disorders, we studied the developing hippocampus of normal and Down syndrome foetuses. Among the α1-3 and γ2 subunits ...

The embryonic and postnatal expression of 13 GABAA receptor subunit genes in the rat CNS was studied by in situ hybridization. Each transcript exhibited a unique regional and temporal developmental expression profile. For example, in both embryonic and early postnatal cortex and thalamus, expression of the alpha 2, alpha 3, alpha 5, and beta 3 mRNAs was pronounced. In particular, the alpha 5 gene expression underwent a prominent peak in early brain. Subsequently, the thalamocortical expression of these four genes substantially diminished and was superseded in the adult by the alpha 1, alpha 4, beta 2, and delta subunit mRNAs. Similarly, gamma 1 and gamma 3 gene expression also dropped markedly during development, their initial stronger expression being restricted to relatively few structures. In contrast, gamma 2 gene expression was widespread and mostly remained constant with increasing age. The medial septum and globus pallidus were regions expressing few subunits in both early postnatal and ...

The goal of the present studies was to determine whether fyn gene deletion altered the behavioral and functional actions of drugs that act at GABAA receptors. To this end, we obtained our own colony of fyn-null mutant and wild-type mice. Similar to the results of Miyakawa et al. (1997) using mice that were developed by a different research group, our null mutants were more sensitive to the hypnotic effects of ethanol (Boehm et al., 2003), a compound known to enhance GABAA receptor function. Moreover, although the genotypes did not differ in hypnotic sensitivity to the positive allosteric modulators pentobarbital, flurazepam, and alfaxalone, our fyn-deficient mice exhibited a shorter duration of loss of righting reflex following administration of the GABAA receptor agonist, THIP.. The above results were consistent with those of Kitazawa et al. (1998) and suggested that fyn gene deletion altered GABAA receptor function, so we next assessed the actions of THIP using a functional assay. ...

Tonic inhibitory conductances mediated by GABAA receptors have now been identified and characterised in many different brain regions. Most experimental studies of tonic GABAergic inhibition have been carried out using acute brain slice preparations but tonic currents have been recorded under a variety of different conditions. This diversity of recording conditions is likely to impact upon many of the factors responsible for controlling tonic inhibition and can make comparison between different studies difficult. In this review, we will firstly consider how various experimental conditions, including age of animal, recording temperature and solution composition, are likely to influence tonic GABAA conductances. We will then consider some technical considerations related to how the tonic conductance is measured and subsequently analysed, including how the use of current noise may provide a complementary and reliable method for quantifying changes in tonic current.

Background Typical benzodiazepines bind non-selectively to GABAA receptors containing 1, 2, 3, and 5 subunits (1GABAA, 2GABAA, 3GABAA, and 5GABAA receptors, respectively), as well as the role of the different GABAA receptor subtypes within the reinforcing ramifications of benzodiazepines is not characterized fully. style, whereas XLi-093 was inadequate. Schild analyses uncovered rank purchases of potencies of flumazenil = CCT > 3-PBC. Myelin Basic Protein (87-99) supplier Evaluation of potencies between self-administration and prior binding research with individual cloned GABAA receptor subtypes recommended which the potencies for CCT and 3-PBC had been most in keeping with binding at 2GABAA and 3GABAA receptors, however, not 1GABAA or 5GABAA receptor subtypes. Conclusions Our results were Rabbit polyclonal to ETFA not completely in keeping with blockade of 1GABAA receptors and so are consistent with the chance of 2GABAA and/or 3GABAA subtype participation in antagonism from the reinforcing ...

A large body of work now shows the importance of GABAA receptor-mediated tonic inhibition in regulating CNS function. However, outside of pathological conditions, there is relatively little evidence that the magnitude of tonic inhibition is itself under regulation. Here we review the mechanisms by which tonic inhibition is known to be modulated, and outline the potential behavioural consequences of this modulation. Specifically, we address the ability of protein kinase A and C to phosphorylate the extrasynaptic receptors responsible for the tonic GABAA current, and how G-protein coupled receptors can regulate tonic inhibition through these effectors. We then speculate about the possible functional consequences of regulating the magnitude of the tonic GABAA current.

Mice with point-mutated alpha2 GABAA receptor subunits (rendering them diazepam insensitive) are resistant to the anxiolytic-like effects of benzodiazepines (BZs) in unconditioned models of anxiety. We investigated the role of the alpha2 GABAA subtype in a model of conditioned anxiety. alpha2(H101R) …

Here, we find that chronic exposure to either immobilization or unpredictable stress results in enduring loss of tonic GABAAR current in LA while leaving the phasic GABAARs unaffected. Such loss is primarily due to the production of CORT with subsequent activation of GR and leads to an impaired GABAergic control over the neuronal excitability in amygdala. Given the essential role of amygdala GABAAR in maintaining the appropriate expression of emotion such as fear and anxiety[9], we propose that the defective tonic inhibition may represent one of the key mechanisms through which prolonged stress exerts its persistent and detrimental action on brains processing of the emotionally salient events.. The GABAARs mediating the tonic and phasic inhibition in CNS differ considerably in terms of their subunit composition, subcellular localization, kinetic and pharmacological properties[23]. Despite these, they both are exquisitely sensitive to the changes in their environment. For instance, the elevated ...

GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) is the main neuroinhibitory transmitter in mammalian brains. It binds to GABA-A and GABA-B receptors. The GABA-A receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels. A variety of GABA-A receptor agonists and antagonists have been developed to study the GABA-mediated inhibition and to explore new medications. In this thesis I have examined the role of GABA in brain tumors and the effects of the metabolic hormone GLP-1 on GABAergic signaling in neurons.. I studied if GABA-A receptors subunits were expressed and formed functional ion channels in the glioblastoma cell line U3047MG. I identified the mRNA of 11, α2, α3, α5, β1, β2, β3, δ, γ3, π, θ and ρ2, out of the 19 known GABA-A subunits. Immunostaining demonstrated abundant expression of the α3 and β3 subunits. Interestingly, whole-cell GABA-activated currents were recorded in only 12% of the cells. The GABA-activated currents half-maximal concentration (EC50) was 36 µM. The currents were modulated by diazepam (1 ...

L929 cells expressing the α1β3ε GABAR isoform consistently produced a large holding current when voltage clamped at -75 mV that was sensitive to both positive and negative allosteric modulators of GABARs but was not affected by the application of glycine. Other subunit combinations, including α1β3γ2L, α1β3δ, α1β3, α1ε, and β3ε, and ε alone failed to produce significant holding currents that were sensitive to enhancement by loreclezole or block by picrotoxin or zinc. Specifically, the negative results obtained with transfections of α1ε or β3ε subtypes or the ε subunit alone strongly suggested that channels potentially composed of only one or two of the three transfected subunits were not contributing to the observed holding current.. To date, the only wild-type GABAR isoforms reported to result in spontaneously active currents are β1 (Sigel et al., 1989; Krishek et al., 1996), β3 (Wooltorton et al., 1997), and α4β1 GABAR isoforms (Khrestchatisky et al., 1989).

Pagoclone, also known as CI-1043; IP-456; RP-62955; RP-59037, is a GABA receptor agonist potentially for the treatment of stuttering, panic disorder and generalised anxiety. It binds with roughly equivalent high affinity (0.7-9.1 nM) to the benzodiazepine binding site of human GABAA receptors containing either an α1, α2, α3 or α5 subunit. It is a partial agonist at α1-, α2- and α5-containing GABAA receptors and a full agonist at receptors containing an α3 subunit.

Ocean acidification is one of the most pressing environmental concerns of our time, and not surprisingly, we have seen a recent explosion of research into the physiological impacts and ecological consequences of changes in ocean chemistry. We are gaining considerable insights from this work, but further advances require greater integration across disciplines. Here, we showed that projected near-future CO₂ levels impaired the ability of damselfish to learn the identity of predators. These effects stem from impaired neurotransmitter function; impaired learning under elevated CO₂ was reversed when fish were treated with gabazine, an antagonist of the GABA-A receptor - a major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptor in the brain of vertebrates. The effects of CO₂ on learning and the link to neurotransmitter interference were manifested as major differences in survival for fish released into the wild. Lower survival under elevated CO₂, as a result of impaired learning, could have a major ...

Introduction. Interictal spikes, identifiable as sharp transient deflections (30-50 ms) in electroencephalographic recordings, are electrographic markers of epilepsy (Pedley, 1984). Recordings during epileptic surgery operations show that up to 50% of cells exhibit burst discharge in the focus during interictal spikes (Wyler & Ward, 1981). These studies demonstrate directly that synchronized burst firing in populations of cortical neurons sustains the epileptiform activity. Clearly, information concerning the mechanisms underlying synchronized burst discharge are of fundamental importance to the understanding of epileptogenesis.. That GABAergic (GABA is γ-aminobutyric acid) inhibitory transmission regulates epileptiform activity is indicated by the action of several convulsant compounds. Analogues of interictal spikes can be produced experimentally with agents such as penicillin, bicuculline, and picrotoxin. These agents are all potent blockers of GABAA receptor function (see e.g., Macdonald, ...

The effect of a 70% (v/v) ethanolic leaf extract of Palisota hirsuta, a traditional West African plant used for CNS disorders and pain, in animal models of anxiety and depression-the open field test, the light/dark box, the Elevated plus Maze (EPM), the Forced Swimming Test (FST) and Tail Suspension Test (TST) has been reported. P. hirsuta (30-300 mg kg-1) treated mice exhibited anxiolytic activity in all the anxiety models used by significantly increasing the percentage of center entries and the percentage time spent in the center of the open field. P. hirsuta also significantly increased the time spent in the lit area in comparison to the time spent in the dark area of the light/dark box. In the EPM, it significantly increased open arm activity which was completely reversed by flumazenil (3 mg kg-1), a specific antagonist of the GABAA benzodiazepine receptor complex. In the antidepressant test, the extract also dose-dependently reduced the duration of immobility in both the FST (ED50: ...

In part, the underlying reason is that preembedding techniques fail to detect a majority of epitopes located at postsynaptic sites (Somogyi et al. 1989; Soltesz et al. 1990). , using Lowicryl-embedded tissue, are required for studying postsynaptic GABAAR (Baude et al. 1992; Nusser and Somogyi 1994; Somogyi et al. 1996). In this case, however, the majority of antibodies available lack sensitivity and, therefore, information is available for the α1, α2, α4, α5, α6, β2, 3, δ, and γ2 subunits only in selected brain areas (such as cerebral cortex, hippocampus, olfactory bulb, pallidum, thalamus, cerebellum, and spinal cord) (Nusser and Somogyi 1994; Nusser et al. For example, multiple γ subunit subtypes have been reported in a subset of native (Quirk et al. 1994; Khan et al. 1994; Benke et al. 1996) and recombinant (Backus et al. 1993) receptors. Although it is unclear if multiple δ subunits can also be incorporated in the same pentamer, recent evidence using concatenated subunits suggests ...

Component of the heteropentameric receptor for GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain. Functions also as histamine receptor and mediates cellular responses to histamine. Functions as receptor for diazepines and various anesthetics, such as pentobarbital; these are bound at a separate allosteric effector binding site. Functions as ligand-gated chloride channel.

The main focus of the Orser Lab is to understand the molecular mechanism of general anesthesia, repurpose general anesthetics for novel treatment of neurological disorders, and to the study the role of GABAA receptor in health and disease. Their studies also offer insights into the neuronal substrates that underlie pain, memory and consciousness.. They are the first to demonstrate the exquisite sensitivity of a population of extrasynaptic GABAA receptors to volatile and inhaled anesthetics. Behavioural studies using preclinical models have shown that the actions of anesthetics at extrasynaptic GABAA receptors in the hippocampus contribute to the amnestic properties of the drugs. The findings challenged the prevailing dogma that anesthetics act by increasing inhibitory synaptic transmission. These results have stimulated new areas of anesthetic research in laboratories around the world. In addition, the laboratory was the first to demonstrate the ability of anesthetics to reduce desensitization ...

Recent research has shown that it is possible to design GABAA receptor targeting with fewer side effects by fine tuning their selectivity profile. It should further be possible to treat disorders not addressable with standard GABAA modulators like the benzodiazeopines.. Our lead program will seek compounds that selectively target GABAA receptors that contain the α2 and α3 subunits. These molecules will be initially developed to treat neuropathic pain. However, we also expect that they will be useful for a variety of other indications including anxiety, depression, autism and startle disorder.. We will also develop neurosteroids that modulate the GABAA receptor. Neurosteroids bind the GABAA receptor at a different site than benzodiazeopines. As a result, they inherently have a different selectivity profile and are typically strong activators of the receptor. In addition to the indications indicated for our lead program, these molecules may have special utility for certain epilepsies.. ...

Six wild-type and mutant GABAAreceptors were expressed by transfection of HEK 293 cells: α2β1 wild-type, α2(S270I)β1, α2(S270H)β1, α2(A291W)β1, α2β1(S265I), or α2β1(M286W). After transient expression in HEK 293 cells, all of the wild-type and mutant receptors tested in this study produced inward currents in response to application of GABA via the rapid solution changer. The EC50 and Hill slope values estimated from GABA concentration-response curves for receptors that contain either mutant α2 or β1 subunits demonstrate that these receptors retain GABA concentration-response relationships that are similar to those of wild-type α2β1 receptors: α2β1 wild-type (EC50 = 8.7 ± 0.4 μm, nH = 1.9 ± 0.2, nine experiments), α2(S270I)β1 (EC50 = 14.6 ± 0.1 μm,nH = 2.4 ± 0.1, six experiments), α2(S270H)β1 (EC50 = 3.5 ± 0.2 μm, nH = 1.5 ± 0.1, five experiments), α2(A291W)β1 (EC50 = 2.4 ± 0.1 μm, nH = 1.7 ± 0.2, five experiments), α2β1(S265I) (EC50 = 37.5 ± 8.5 μm, nH = ...

Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit epsilon or GABA AR epsilon is encoded by the gene GABRE. GABA A receptors are members of the Cys-loop family of ligand-gated ion channels. GABA AR epsilon is a subunit of the pentameric GABA receptors where GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain and mediates neuronal inhibition by binding to the GABA receptor and opening an integral chloride channel. GABA AR epsilon is found expressed in many tissues including adult heart, placenta and adult brain. In brain, GABA AR epsilon is expressed at the cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane and cytoplasmic vesicle membrane.. ...

Objective. Inflammation in the vascular wall plays an important role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis, including development of plaque, plaque destabilization and rupture. Clinical and basic scientific data demonstrate the importance of peripheral white blood cells in this process. Therefore, a noninvasive method to detect inflammatory activity in atherosclerosis may be of great value to help determine prognosis, direct therapy and perhaps assess novel therapies for stabilization of atherosclerotic plaque.. The peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) is distinct from central benzodiazepine receptors associated with GABAA receptors and has been associated with immune function. PBR is expressed in macrophages, therefore, they may be a clinically useful marker to detect inflammation. Our preliminary autoradiographic data demonstrate specific PBR binding in carotid atherosclerosis samples. Though PBR has been imaged in vivo with positron emission tomography (PET) using ...

ABSTRACT Background: The Peripheral Benzodiazepine Receptor (PBR) can be classified as a distinct receptor from the central benzodiazepine receptor. The PBR gene has been located to chromosome 22q13.31 in humans and has been found to consist of four exons, with the first and half of the fourth exon being untranslated to form the PBR protein. PBR is involved in numerous biological conditions including the regulation of cellular proliferation and apoptosis, steroidogenesis, heme biosynthesis, anion and porphyrin transport and mitochondrial functions such as oxidative phosphorylation and translocation of cholesterol from the outer to the inner mitochondrial membrane. Recent studies showed that the expression of PBR correlated with tumour malignancy and patient survival. Aim: The objectives of this research were to determine the expression pattern and level of PBR mRNA in various types of human normal and cancer tissues and to isolate the PBR protein ...

Agonists of the allosteric benzodiazepine site of GABAA receptors bind at the interface of the alpha and gamma subunits. Here, we tested the in vivo contribution of the gamma2 subunit to the actions of zolpidem, an alpha1 subunit selective benzodiazepine agonist, by generating mice with a phenylalanine (F) to isoleucine (I) substitution at position 77 in the gamma2 subunit. The gamma2F77I mutation has no major effect on the expression of GABAA receptor subunits in the cerebellum. The potency of zolpidem, but not that of flurazepam, for the inhibition of [3H]flunitrazepam binding to cerebellar membranes is greatly reduced in gamma2I77/I77 mice. Zolpidem (1 microM) increased both the amplitude and decay of miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents (mIPSCs) in Purkinje cells of control C57BL/6 (34% and 92%, respectively) and gamma2F77/F77 (20% and 84%) mice, but not in those of gamma2F77I mice. Zolpidem tartrate had no effect on exploratory activity (staircase test) or motor performance (rotarod ...

Objective:. Abnormal immune responses and inflammatory mechanisms have been implicated in the pathogenesis of certain neurodegenerative diseases. Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by focal atrophy of the frontal and temporal lobes. Evidence supports the presence of inflammation in FTD; however, the relationship between inflammation and FTD pathogenesis is poorly understood. In addition, there is evidence of inflammation in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), a condition characterized by seizures originating from the mesial temporal lobe.. In response to brain inflammation, microglia are activated and over-express the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR). In normal conditions, PBR is expressed in low numbers.

TY - JOUR. T1 - Modulation of the GABAA receptor by propofol is independent of the gamma subunit. AU - Jones, M V. AU - Harrison, N L. AU - Pritchett, D B. AU - Hales, T G. PY - 1995/8. Y1 - 1995/8. N2 - Many anxiolytics, anticonvulsants and general anesthetics modulate gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors. The anxiolytic benzodiazepines potentiate the actions of GABA, and this only at GABAA receptors with gamma subunits. The general anesthetics both potentiate GABA and activate GABAA receptors directly, but their binding sites on the receptor are poorly defined. We examined whether the gamma 2 subunit was required for the modulation of GABAA receptors by the general anesthetic 2,6-diisopropylphenol (propofol). Using the patch-clamp technique, we recorded membrane currents from HEK293 cells transfected with human alpha 2, beta 1 and gamma 2 cDNAs and with alpha 2 and beta 1 cDNAs alone. Both forms of the receptor were activated by GABA and by propofol at low concentrations. At ...

Gamma-Aminobutyric acid type A (GABA-A) receptors have been implicated as major target sites for the acute and chronic ac- tions of ethanol (EtOH). Prolonged exposure to and withdrawal from EtOH are associated with alterations in GABA-A receptor subunit gene expression as well as in receptor function and phar- macological sensitivity in different in vivo and in vitro experi- mental models. Here, we focus on the effects of chronic EtOH ex- posure and withdrawal on the expression of the delta subunit of the GABA-A receptor in cultured rat hippocampal neurons (HP) and cerebellar granule (CG) neurons. GABA-A receptors contain- ing the delta subunit are preferentially extrasynaptic, are respon- sible for the tonic inhibition, and possess an enhanced sensitivity to the agonist THIP, to the neurosteroid allopregnanolone as well as to low concentrations of EtOH. Immunocytochemical and con- focal microscopy studies showed that delta subunit is preferen- tially expressed on the soma of CG cells, whereas ...

Abstract: Type-A γ-aminobutyric (GABAA) receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels with a very rich pharmacology. Some of their modulators, including benzodiazepines and general anaesthetics, are among the most successful drugs in clinical use and are common substances of abuse. Without reliable structural data, the mechanistic basis for the pharmacological modulation of GABAA receptors remains largely unknown. Here we report several high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy structures in which the full-length human α1β3γ2L GABAA receptor in lipid nanodiscs is bound to the channel-blocker picrotoxin, the competitive antagonist bicuculline, the agonist GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid), and the classical benzodiazepines alprazolam and diazepam. We describe the binding modes and mechanistic effects of these ligands, the closed and desensitized states of the GABAA receptor gating cycle, and the basis for allosteric coupling between the extracellular, agonist-binding region and the transmembrane, ...

γ- amino butyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain, and targets the ionotropic GABAA receptors. GABAC, or GABAA rho, is a subclass of GABAA receptors composed entirely of rho (ρ) subunits and are located on the axonal terminal of retinal bipolar cells, where it not only exhibits a tonic inhibitory current, but also regulates the GABAA and other GABAA rho synaptic currents (Jones et al 2011). GABAA-rho exhibits unique properties, such as insensitivity to select antagonists of the heteromeric GABAA receptors (Korpi et al., 2002). A group of ligands, which possess a guanidine group, have been shown to influence GABAA receptors. This includes the acid sensing ion channel (ASIC) ligand, amiloride. Our previous work elucidated the intrinsic activity of the guanidine compound amiloride as having an allosteric modulatory effect on the human GABAA rho1 receptor, but the exact mechanism, or site of interaction, remains unknown. Homology modeling of amiloride

GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain, mediates neuronal inhibition by binding to the GABA/benzodiazepine receptor and opening an integral chloride channel.

Benzodiazepines are widely used clinically to treat anxiety and insomnia. They also induce muscle relaxation, control epileptic seizures, and can produce amnesia. Moreover, benzodiazepines are often abused after chronic clinical treatment and also for recreational purposes. Within weeks, tolerance to the pharmacological effects can develop as a sign of dependence. In vulnerable individuals with compulsive drug use, addiction will be diagnosed. Here we review recent observations from animal models regarding the cellular and molecular basis that might underlie the addictive properties of benzodiazepines. These data reveal how benzodiazepines, acting through specific GABA(A) receptor subtypes, activate midbrain dopamine neurons, and how this could hijack the mesolimbic reward system. Such findings have important implications for the future design of benzodiazepines with reduced or even absent addiction liability ...

Impaired rate dependent depression (RDD) of the Hoffman-reflex is associated with reduced dorsal spinal cord potassium chloride co-transporter expression and impaired spinal GABAA receptor function, indicative of spinal inhibitory dysfunction. We have investigated the pathogenesis of impaired RDD in diabetic rodents exhibiting features of painful neuropathy and the translational potential of this marker of spinal inhibitory dysfunction in human painful diabetic neuropathy. Impaired RDD and allodynia were present in type 1 and type 2 diabetic rats but not in rats with type 1 diabetes receiving insulin supplementation that did not restore normoglycemia. Impaired RDD in diabetic rats was rapidly normalized by spinal delivery of duloxetine acting via 5HT2A receptors and temporally coincident with the alleviation of allodynia. Deficits in RDD and corneal nerve density were demonstrated in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy when compared to healthy control subjects and patients with painless ...

novel therapeutic option in treating cognitive deficits, which corresponds well with the specific localization of α5 GABAA receptors and affirmative results from animals with partial or full depletion of these receptors. Moreover, studies with inverse agonists of α5 GABAA receptors have revealed their procognitive potential in preclinical settings. Although there exist some data in humans, no nootropic drugs acting as inverse agonists at α5 GABAA receptors have been approved so far, in part due to their inadequate tolerability. The examinations of the role of both, negative and positive modulation of α5 GABAA receptors in amelioration of cognitive deficits are in progress. In the present study, we used one inverse agonist, PWZ-029 and five agonists (MP-III-022, MP-III-004, SH-053-2F-R-CH3, SH-I-75 and SH-I-047) of the benzodiazepine (BDZ) binding site at α5 GABAA receptors. Our results demonstrated that the negative modulator of α5 GABAA receptors, PWZ-029, exerts protective effects on ...

Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing between 250-350 g were maintained on an ad libitum feeding schedule and kept on a 12 hr on/off light cycle. During electrophysiological study, rats were anesthetized with urethane (1.2 g/kg, i.p.) and the level of anesthesia was assessed by the absence of a withdrawal reflex, and additional anesthetic (urethane, 0.2-0.6 mg/kg, i.p.) was administered as necessary. Body temperature was maintained at 37 ± 0.5°C with a Harvard Homoeothermic Blanket (Harvard Apparatus Limited, Kent, UK). At the end of experiments, animals were killed with an overdose of urethane. All animal experiments were approved by the local committee of Laboratory Animals, Fudan University and carried out in accordance with Chinese National Science Foundation animal research regulation. Animal preparation was similar to previously reported [36, 37, 39]. Briefly, all the animals had their lateral tail vein cannulated for drug administration and then mounted in a stereotaxic frame.

NPTN isoform p65 binds GABAA receptor subunits, co-localizing with alpha1 and alpha2, but not alpha3 subunits at GABAergic synapses and alpha5 subunits at extrasynaptic sites in cultures (Sarto-Jackson et al. 2012). GABAA receptors containing alpha1, 2 or 3 subunits are localized mainly at synaptic sites and interact with the scaffolding protein Gephyrin (GPHN), which anchors the receptor to the underlying postsynaptic complex and prevents their lateral diffusion (Kneussel & Loebrich 2007, Tretter et al. 2012). Receptors containing the alpha5 subunit are mainly extrasynaptic and link to the actin cytoskeleton via Radixin (Loebrich et al. 2006). NPTN p65 co-localization can be at several synaptic sites along the same dendrite, while absent from others. NPTN p65 shRNA caused diffuse alpha2 subunit staining which did not co-localize with vesicular inhibitory aa transporter, a presynaptic marker of GABAergic synapses (Sarto-Jackson et al. 2012). This suggests a functional role for NPTN p65 in ...

Slices of human cortical tissue from epilepsy surgery were investigated with intracellular recordings to elucidate the mechanisms contributing to augmented synaptic excitation and to repetitive activity. The analysis of single synaptic potentials revealed, amongst other differences to rodent cortex, a disturbance of GABAA inhibition, namely depolarizing responses. A tentative ionic mechanism, impaired KCl outward-transport (KCC2), was evaluated in a rat model (0-Mg hyperexcitability). The observed down-regulation of KCC2 mRNA after 0-Mg-ACSF exposure of slices may contribute to the depolarizations by GABA. The factors enabling repetitive activity were addressed with a paired-pulse paradigm. In slices from epilepsy surgery, synaptic responses were virtually constant with interstimulus intervals between 100 and 1000 ms. Tiagabine markedly prolonged the effects of released GABA at GABAA receptors, but paired-pulse behaviour was only slightly affected. We demonstrate that bicuculline-induced ...

GABAA receptor (GABAAR) je jonotropni receptor i ligandom kontrolisani jonski kanal. Njegov endogeni ligand je γ-aminobuterna kiselina (GABA), jedan od glavnih inhibitornih neurotransmitera u centralnom nervnom sistemu. Nakon aktivacije, GABAA receptor selektivno propušta Cl− kroz svoju poru, što dovodi do hiperpolarizacije neurona. To ima inhibitorno dejstvo na neurotransmisiju usled umanjenih šansi za pojavu uspešnog akcionog potencijala. Potencijal preokreta GABAA-posredovanog IPSP u normalnom rastvoru je −70 mV, za razliku od GABAB IPSP. Aktivno mesto GABAA receptora je mesto vezivanja GABA i nekoliko lekova kao što su muscimol, gaboksadol, i bikuculin. Ovaj protein takođe sadrži brojna alosterna mesta vezivanja koja indirektno modulišu aktivnost receptora. Ta alosterna mesta su meta niza drugih lekova, uključujući benzodiazepine, nebenzodiazepine, barbiturate, etanol,[4] neuroaktivne steroide, inhalacione anestetike, i picrotoksin, između ostalih.[5] GABAA receptori su ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - The N-terminal domain of GABA receptor subunit ρ1 contains regions required for subunit assembly. AU - Hackam, A. S.. AU - Wang, Tian-Li. AU - Guggino, William B. AU - Cutting, Garry R. PY - 1996/2/15. Y1 - 1996/2/15. N2 - Purpose. The retina GABAC-like receptor subunit ρ1 forms robustly expressing homooligomeric receptors, whereas the GABAA receptor subunits require heterooligomerization for efficient expression. This indicates that each ρ1 subunit has the information for precise assembly into a functional receptor. This study was performed to investigate the topology of ρ1 and to localize the domain directing subunit assembly. Methods. Two ρ1 mutants were created: N-ρ1, containing a termination signal at codon 256 immediately prior to the putative first transmembrane domain, and C-ρ1, in which sequence from the putative signal peptide to the first hydrophobic region was deleted. Wild-type ρ1 and the truncation mutants were translated in vitro for immunoprecipitation and ...

We measured protein and mRNA levels for nine gamma-aminobutyric acid A (GABAA) receptor subunits in three brain regions (cerebellum, superior frontal corte

A brief discussion of the available pertinent evidence and its value in determining the existence of native subtypes is in order. The expression of recombinant receptors, the determination of their subunit composition and arrangement, and their biophysical and pharmacological characterization is obviously an important part in the identification of native receptors. But expression of recombinant receptors is insufficient to prove their existence in vivo, because gross overexpression of subunit proteins can result in hetero-oligomeric combinations that are unlikely to occur in nature. For example, recombinant receptors containing both the γ2 and δ subunits have been generated and characterized (Saxena and Macdonald, 1994; Hevers et al., 2000), whereas the actual existence of such receptors in the brain is highly questionable (for discussion, see Sieghart and Sperk, 2002). In addition, coexpression of subunits does not always result in the exclusive formation of the expected receptors. Thus, ...

The benzodiazepine, lorazepam enhances the efficiency of local, inhibitory GABAA synapses in the cortex, which stabilize postsynaptic, excitatory activity by synchronizing their own discharges at around 40 Hz. Treatment with lorazepam has also been shown to adversely influence detection performance in perceptual tasks, suggesting a role for GABAA-mediated synchronization during visuo-perceptual organization. Consistent with these findings we report that reaction times to target stimuli were slower following lorazepam treatment. However, when targets followed presentation of a synchronized prime, presented within a flickering 40-Hz display matrix, the effects of priming were amplified relative to baseline and control conditions. We conclude that enhanced GABAA-induced inhibition enhances stimulus-evoked synchronization with differential effects upon mechanisms of perceptual segmentation and grouping ...

Please find below our response to reviewers comments. Reviewer #1:. This study is of great interest, shedding new lights on the regulation of GABAa receptor trafficking. We are thankful to the reviewer for his/her recognition of the accomplished work.. Major comments:. In figure 1, the authors have only shown the quantification of the cluster intensity. As one can clearly see differences in the staining of the 2 GABAA receptors, a more detailed analysis is needed (i.e. size and number of clusters). This analysis has also to be done to characterize the colocalization between VGAT and the mutants of gephyrin. This general comment applies for all the immunocytochemistry experiments.. We have now reanalyzed and presented the data as requested by the reviewer for all our ICC experiments. In figure 2, I am very surprised regarding the quantum dots experiment and the GABAA receptors surface dynamics. How can the median D and EA be almost identical in control conditions? Dont the authors expect ...
