Intracellular chloride concentration influences the GABAA receptor subunit composition
GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A)Rs) exist as different subtype variants showing unique functional properties and defined spatio-temporal expression pattern. The molecular mechanisms underlying the developmental expression of different GABA(A)R are largely unknown. The intracellular concentration of chloride ([Cl(-)](i)), the main ion permeating through GABA(A)Rs, also undergoes considerable changes d...
متن کاملModulation of AMPA receptor GluR1 subunit phosphorylation in neurons by the intravenous anaesthetic propofol.
BACKGROUND The ionotropic glutamate receptor is a potential molecular site in the central nervous system that general anaesthetics may interact with to produce some of their biological actions. Protein phosphorylation has been well documented to occur in the intracellular C-terminal domain of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA) subtype of glutamate receptors, which r...
متن کاملJuvenile stress-induced alteration of maturation of the GABAA receptor α subunit in the rat
Profound evidence indicates that GABAA receptors are important in the control of physiological response to stress and anxiety. The a subunit type composition contributes significantly to the functional characterization of the GABAA receptors. The a2, a3, a5 subunits are predominately expressed in the brain during embryonic and early postnatal periods of normal rats, whilst a1 are most prominent...
متن کاملGABAA Receptor Modulation by Compounds Isolated from Salvia triloba L
Salvia triloba, traditionally known as Greek sage, has been used to enhance memory, as a sedative and to treat headaches. Pharmacological evaluation of purified extracts and isolated compounds of S. triloba were carried out on functional assays using two-electrode voltage clamp methods on recombinant GABA receptors expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Bio-assay guided fractionation led to seven...
متن کاملGABAA receptor modulation by terpenoids from Sideritis extracts
SCOPE GABAA receptors are modulated by Sideritis extracts. The aim of this study was to identify single substances from Sideritis extracts responsible for GABAA receptor modulation. METHODS AND RESULTS Single volatile substances identified by GC have been tested in two expression systems, Xenopus oocytes and human embryonic kidney cells. Some of these substances, especially carvacrol, were hi...
