The cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptor and the capsaicin receptor (TRPV1) exhibit co-expression and complex, but largely unknown, functional interactions in a sub-population of primary sensory neurons (PSN). We report that PSN co-expressing CB1 receptor and TRPV1 form two distinct sub-populations based on their pharmacological properties, which could be due to the distribution pattern of the two...
Background & Aim: Although studies have shown the central effects of Endocannabinoid on erection, its' peripheral effect is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the endogenous cannabinoid anandamide on the nonadrenergic noncholinergic(NANC) relaxant responses to electrical field stimulation in isolated rat corpus cavernosum, a crucial tissue in erectile functi...
The cannabinoidergic system acquired a reputation as the most abundant G-protein coupled receptor in the CNS that acts as retrograde modulator of neurotransmitter release. Recently, endocannabinoids (ECBs) have been highlighted as neurodevelopmental signaling cues that exert a regulatory role in brain development. The interruption in ECB system elements (including receptors and enzymes of synth...
The release of GABA from cholecystokinin-containing interneurons is modulated by type-1 cannabinoid receptors (CB1). Here we tested the hypothesis that the strength of CB1-mediated modulation of GABA release is related to the CB1 content of axon terminals. Basket cell boutons have on average 78% higher CB1 content than those of dendritic-layer-innervating (DLI) cells, a consequence of larger bo...
We examined whether CB1 receptors in smooth muscle conform to the signaling pattern observed with other Gi-coupled receptors that stimulate contraction via two Gβγ-dependent pathways (PLC-β3 and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/integrin-linked kinase). Here we show that the anticipated Gβγ-dependent signaling was abrogated. Except for inhibition of adenylyl cyclase via Gαi, signaling resulted from...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The most abundant malignant brain tumor in human is glioblastoma and patients with this type of tumor have a poor prognosis with high mortality. Glioblastoma are characterized particularly by fast growth and a dependence on blood vessel formation for survival. Cannabinoids (CBs) inhibit tumor growth by inducing apoptosis of tumor cells and impairing tumor angiogenesis....
Cannabinoid CB1 receptors peripherally modulate energy metabolism. Here, we investigated the role of CB1 receptors in the expression of glucose/pyruvate/tricarboxylic acid (TCA) metabolism in rat abdominal muscle. Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD), a flavoprotein component (E3) of α-ketoacid dehydrogenase complexes with diaphorase activity in mitochondria, was specifically analyzed. After as...
Endocannabinoids work as retrograde messengers and contribute to short-term and long-term modulation of synaptic transmission via presynaptic cannabinoid receptors. It is generally accepted that the CB1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1) mediates the effects of endocannabinoid in inhibitory synapses. For excitatory synapses, however, contributions of CB1, "CB3," and some other unidentified receptors ha...
Despite the role of excitatory transmission to the nucleus accumbens (NAc) in the actions of most drugs of abuse, the presence and functions of cannabinoid receptors (CB1) on the glutamatergic cortical afferents to the NAc have never been explored. Here, immunohistochemistry has been used to show the localization of CB1 receptors on axonal terminals making contacts with the NAc GABAergic neuron...
The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor has long been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. NMDA receptor antagonists induce psychotic states in humans and when administered to rodents promote lasting behavioural phenotypes relevant to schizophrenia (Javitt and Zukin, 1991; Abi-Saab et al., 1998; Javitt, 2007). Further, schizophrenia brain tissue contains reduced expression and f...
