BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Developmental switches in NMDA receptor subunit expression have been inferred from studies of GluN2 expression levels, changes in kinetics of glutamatergic synaptic currents and sensitivity of NMDA receptor-mediated currents to selective GluN2B antagonists. Here we use TCN 213, a novel GluN2A-selective antagonist to identify the presence of this subunit in functional NMDA...
NMDA receptors are tetrameric complexes of NR1 and NR2A-D subunits that mediate excitatory synaptic transmission and have a role in neurological disorders. In this article, we identify a novel subunit-selective potentiator of NMDA receptors containing the NR2C or NR2D subunit, which could allow selective modification of circuit function in regions expressing NR2C/D subunits. The substituted tet...
The NMDA subtype of glutamate receptor is hypothesized to mediate synaptic competition in the developing brain by stabilizing converging synapses that have correlated activity patterns. Disruption of NMDA receptor function during development interferes with synapse elimination and sensory map formation. Moreover, many studies indicate that NMDA receptor function is high during times of synaptic...
The NMDA receptor is an important component of spatial working and reference memory. The receptor is a heterotetramer composed of a family of related subunits. The GluN2B subunit of the NMDA receptor appears to be essential for some forms of memory and is particularly vulnerable to change with age in both the hippocampus and cerebral cortex. GluN2B expression is particularly reduced in frontal ...
The postnatal maturation of glutamatergic synapses involves a change in composition and functional contribution of postsynaptic receptors. Developing cortical synapses are dominated by NMDA receptors (NMDARs) containing NR2B subunits and are characterized by a low ratio of AMPA/NMDA receptor-mediated current. Synapse maturation is marked by the incorporation of NR2A-containing NMDA receptors an...
The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor plays a key role in learning and memory. Our recent studies have shown that nobiletin from citrus peels activates the cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) signaling pathway and ameliorates NMDA receptor antagonist-induced learning impairment by activating extracellular signal-regulated kinase. For the first time, we have shown that nobiletin sign...
OF DISSERTATION THE MESOCORTICOLIMBIC DOPAMINE PATHWAY RECONSTITUTED IN VITRO: GLUTAMATE RECEPTORS AND CORTICOSTEROIDMETHAMPHETAMINE NEUROTOXICITY Stress promotes the use of methamphetamine and other recreational substances and is often implicated in relapse to stimulant use. Thus, it is of critical importance to examine the consequences of the co-occurance of stress and methamphetamine use. Ac...
There is accumulating evidence to implicate the importance of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors to the induction and maintenance of central sensitization during pain states. However, NMDA receptors may also mediate peripheral sensitization and visceral pain. NMDA receptors are composed of NR1, NR2 (A, B, C, and D), and NR3 (A and B) subunits, which determine the functional properties of nat...
Expression of the NR3A subunit with NR1/NR2 in Xenopus oocytes or mammalian cell lines leads to a reduction in N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA)-induced currents and decreased Mg(2+) sensitivity and Ca(2+) permeability compared with NR1/NR2 receptors. Consistent with these findings, neurons from NR3A knockout (KO) mice exhibit enhanced NMDA-induced currents. Recombinant NR3A can also form excitatory ...
NMDA receptors have been shown to contribute to glutamate-evoked currents in oligodendrocytes. Activation of these receptors damages myelin in ischaemia, in part because they are more weakly blocked by Mg(2+) than are most neuronal NMDA receptors. This weak Mg(2+) block was suggested to reflect an unusual subunit composition including the NR2C and NR3A subunits. Here we expressed NR1/NR2C and t...
