Cannabinoid receptors and endocannabinoids: role in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders.
The G-protein coupled receptors for Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol, the major psychoactive principle of marijuana, are known as cannabinoid receptors of type 1 (CB₁) and 2 (CB₂) and play important functions in degenerative and inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system. Whilst CB₁ receptors are mostly expressed in neurons, where they regulate neurotransmitter release and synaptic strength, C...
متن کاملNeurotrophins and neurodegenerative diseases: receptors stuck in traffic?
Neurotrophins are well known for their physiological role as key modulators of neuronal survival, neurite out-growth, and synaptic connectivity during development and into adulthood. Moreover, neurotrophins are potent agents, ameliorating neuronal degeneration in many model systems for neurological diseases. However, a causal role for mutations in neurotrophins or neurotrophin receptors in huma...
متن کاملEph receptors at synapses: implications in neurodegenerative diseases.
Precise regulation of synapse formation, maintenance and plasticity is crucial for normal cognitive function, and synaptic failure has been suggested as one of the hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we describe the recent progress in our understanding of how the receptor tyrosine kinase Ephs and their ligands ephrins regulate dendritic spine morphogenesis, synapse formatio...

Citation: Vervliet T (2018) Ryanodine Receptors in Autophagy: Implications for Neurodegenerative Diseases? Front. Cell. Neurosci. 12:89. doi: 10.3389/fncel.2018.00089 Intracellular Ca2+ signaling is important in the regulation of several cellular processes including autophagy. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the main and largest intracellular Ca2+ store. At the ER two protein families of Ca2+...
