Steroid hormone fluctuations and GABA(A)R plasticity.
Conditions of changing steroid hormone levels are a particularly vulnerable time for the manifestation of neurological disorders, including catamenial epilepsy, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and postpartum depression. The pathophysiology of these disorders may be related to changes in neurosteroid levels, which can dramatically impact neuronal excitability. Robust changes in neurosteroid levels,...
متن کاملGephyrin-Independent GABAAR Mobility and Clustering during Plasticity
The activity-dependent modulation of GABA-A receptor (GABA(A)R) clustering at synapses controls inhibitory synaptic transmission. Several lines of evidence suggest that gephyrin, an inhibitory synaptic scaffold protein, is a critical factor in the regulation of GABA(A)R clustering during inhibitory synaptic plasticity induced by neuronal excitation. In this study, we tested this hypothesis by s...
متن کاملGABAAR Plasticity during Pregnancy: Relevance to Postpartum Depression
Fluctuating neurosteroid levels over the ovarian cycle modulate neuronal excitability through effects on GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A)Rs). The large increase in progesterone-derived neurosteroids during pregnancy and their precipitous decline at parturition may have considerable effects on GABA(A)Rs during pregnancy and postpartum. Here we show a significant decrease in tonic and phasic inhibition...
متن کاملI-34: Steroid Hormone Signalling at the FetomaternalInterface
Background: Progesterone is indispensable for differentiation of human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) into decidual cells, a process that critically controls embryo implantation. However, HESCs also abundantly express androgen receptors (AR), yet the role of this member of the superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors in the decidual process remains poorly elucidated. Materials a...
متن کاملRegulation of steroid hydroxylase gene expression and steroid hormone biosynthesis.
In our test system, the action of glucagon o n steroid oxidation follows a dose-response relationship similar to its actions on diacylglycerol generation and not on cyclic AMP generation [ 171. The fact that it does not act via activation of adenylate cyclase and generation of cyclic AMP was proved by the usc of I-N-a-trinitrophenylhistidine12-homoarginine glucagon (TH)-glucagon, an analogue of...
