Disruption of glycine transporter 1 restricted to forebrain neurons is associated with a procognitive and antipsychotic phenotypic profile.
The NMDA receptor is thought to play a central role in some forms of neuronal plasticity, including the induction of long-term potentiation. NMDA receptor hypofunction can result in mnemonic impairment and has been implicated in the cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia. The activity of NMDA receptors is controlled by its endogenous coagonist glycine, and a local elevation of glycine levels is ex...
متن کاملLocalization of the GLYT1 glycine transporter at glutamatergic synapses in the rat brain.
In this study, we present evidence that a glycine transporter, GLYT1, is expressed in neurons and that it is associated with glutamatergic synapses. Despite the presence of GLYT1 mRNA in both glial cells and in glutamatergic neurons, previous studies have mainly localized GLYT1 immunoreactivity to glial cells in the caudal regions of the nervous system. However, using novel sequence specific an...
متن کاملAltered Mnemonic Functions and Resistance to NMDA Receptor Antagonism by Forebrain Conditional Knockout of Glycine
Converging evidence from pharmacological and molecular studies has led to the suggestion that inhibition of glycine transporter 1 (GlyT1) constitutes an effective means to boost N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) activity by increasing the extra-cellular concentration of glycine in the vicinity of glutamatergic synapses. However, the precise extent and limitation of this approach to alter co...
متن کاملGlycinergic neurons expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein in bacterial artificial chromosome transgenic mice.
Although glycine is a major inhibitory transmitter in the mammalian CNS, the role of glycinergic neurons in defined neuronal circuits remains ill defined. This is due in part to difficulties in identifying these cells in living slice preparations for electrophysiological recordings and visualizing their axonal projections. To facilitate the morphological and functional analysis of glycinergic n...
متن کاملInhibition of microRNA-181 reduces forebrain ischemia-induced neuronal loss.
MicroRNA (miRNA), miR-181a, is enriched in the brain, and inhibition of miR-181a reduced astrocyte death in vitro and infarct volume after stroke in vivo. This study investigated the role of miR-181a in neuronal injury in vitro and hippocampal neuronal loss in vivo after forebrain ischemia. miR-181a levels were altered by transfection with mimic or antagomir. N2a cells subjected to serum depriv...
