Loss of glycine receptors in the nucleus accumbens and ethanol reward in an Alzheimer´s Disease mouse model.

Alterations in cognitive and non-cognitive cerebral functions characterize Alzheimer's disease (AD). Cortical and hippocampal impairments related to extracellular accumulation of Aβ in AD animal models have been extensively investigated. However, recent reports have also implicated intracellular Aβ in limbic regions, such as the nucleus accumbens (nAc).

Changes in ethanol effects in knock-in mice expressing ethanol insensitive alpha1 and alpha2 glycine receptor subunits.

Aims: Glycine receptors (GlyRs) are potentiated by physiologically relevant concentrations of ethanol, and mutations in the intracellular loop of α1 and α2 subunits reduced the effect of the drug. Knock-in (KI) mice having these individual mutations revealed that α1 and α2 subunits played a role in ethanol-induced sedation and ethanol intake. In this study, we wanted to examine if the effects of stacking both mutations in a 2xKI mouse model (α1/α2) generated by a selective breeding strategy further impacted cellular and behavioral responses to ethanol.

Molecular Pharmacology of Alkaloids on Inhibitory Receptors.

Indole alkaloids are the main bioactive molecules of the genus plants. Diverse reports have shown the beneficial actions of alkaloids on the pathological states of the central nervous system (CNS). Nevertheless, alkaloids are toxic for mammals.

Molecular Docking Analysis at the Human α7-nAChR and Proliferative and Evoked-Calcium Changes in SH-SY5Y Cells by Imidacloprid and Acetamiprid Insecticides.

Acetamiprid (ACE) and Imidacloprid (IMI) are widely-used neonicotinoid insecticides (NNIs) with functional activity at human acetylcholine nicotinic receptors and, therefore, with putative toxic effects. The objective of this study was the evaluation of the interactions between NNIs and α7-nAChR, as this receptor keeps intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) to an optimum for an adequate neuronal functioning. Possible interactions between NNIs and the cryo-EM structure of the human α-7 nAChR were identified by molecular docking.
