Bhandage, A. K. 2016. Glutamate and GABA signalling components in the human brain and in immune cells. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Medicine 1218. 81 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-9558-9. Glutamate and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) are the principal excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in the central nervous syst...
At GABAergic synapses, GABA receptors form high-density clusters opposite GABA release sites. Whether GABA release per se plays a role in the formation of GABA receptor clusters remains uncertain. To address this question in vivo, we characterized GABA receptor clustering in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. In C. elegans, body wall muscles receive excitatory inputs from cholinergic motor ne...
Valerian is a commonly used herbal medicinal product for the treatment of anxiety and insomnia. Here we report the stimulation of chloride currents through GABA(A) receptors (I(GABA)) by valerenic acid (VA), a constituent of Valerian. To analyse the molecular basis of VA action, we expressed GABA(A) receptors with 13 different subunit compositions in Xenopus oocytes and measured I(GABA) using t...
GABA(B) receptor-positive modulators are thought to have advantages as potential medications for anxiety, depression, and drug addiction. They may have fewer side effects than GABA(B) receptor agonists, because selective enhancement of activated receptors could have effects different from nonselective activation of all receptors. To examine this, pigeons were trained to discriminate the GABA(B)...
Neurons in the external and internal segment of the globus pallidus (GPe and GPi, respectively) receive substantial GABAergic inputs from the striatum and through axon collaterals of neighboring pallidal neurons. The effects of GABA on pallidal activity depend on the synaptic localization of GABA receptors and the distribution and activity of GABA transporters (GATs). To explore the contributio...
Growing evidence suggests that Huntington's disease (HD), a neurodegenerative movement disorder caused by the mutant huntingtin (htt) with an expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) repeat, is associated with the altered intracellular trafficking and synaptic function. GABA(A) receptors, the key determinant of the strength of synaptic inhibition, have been found to bind to the huntingtin associated prot...
The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) is known to contain estrogen (E)- concentrating neurons. In addition, injections of E into BST have been reported to potentiate the sympathoinhibitory arterial pressure (AP) and heart rate (HR) responses elicited by glutamate (Glu) stimulation. In this study, the effect of GABA-A antagonist receptors, bicuculline methiodide (BMI), in the rostral ven...
The rho 2 subunit, a novel GABA receptor subunit, has been cloned from a human retinal complementary DNA library. This subunit shares 74% amino acid sequence identity with the rho 1 subunit that forms homooligomeric bicuculline-, barbiturate-, and benzodiazepine-insensitive GABA receptors. The rho 2 subunit also forms homooligomeric GABA-activated chloride channels when expressed in Xenopus ooc...
We report that activation of GABA(A) receptors on cerebellar granule cell axons modulates both transmitter release and the excitability of the axon and soma. Axonal GABA(A) receptors depolarize the axon, increasing its excitability and causing calcium influx at axonal varicosities. GABA-mediated subthreshold depolarizations in the axon spread electrotonically to the soma, promoting orthodromic ...
Interneuron- and GABAA receptor-specific inhibitory synaptic plasticity in cerebellar Purkinje cells
Inhibitory synaptic plasticity is important for shaping both neuronal excitability and network activity. Here we investigate the input and GABA(A) receptor subunit specificity of inhibitory synaptic plasticity by studying cerebellar interneuron-Purkinje cell (PC) synapses. Depolarizing PCs initiated a long-lasting increase in GABA-mediated synaptic currents. By stimulating individual interneuro...
