Bmal1 haploinsufficiency impairs fear memory and modulates neuroinflammation via the 5-HT2C receptor.

Background: BMAL1, a key regulator of circadian rhythms, plays a multifaceted role in brain function. However, the complex interplay between BMAL1, memory, neuroinflammation, and neurotransmitter regulation remains poorly understood. To investigate these interactions, we conducted a study using BMAL1-haplodeficient mice (BMAL1).

Hsp60 deletion in cholinergic neurons: Impact on neuroinflammation and memory.

Cholinergic circuit defects have been linked to various neurological abnormalities, yet the precise mechanisms underlying the impact of cholinergic signaling on cognitive functions, particularly in the context of neuroinflammation-associated, remain poorly understood. Similarly, while the dopamine receptor (D2R) has been implicated in the pausing of cholinergic interneurons (CIN), its relationship with behavior remains inadequately elucidated. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether D2R plays a role in the regulation of fear and memory in the Hsp60 knockout condition, given the non-canonical involvement of Hsp60 in inflammation.

AMPA receptor potentiation alleviates NLRP3 knockout-induced fear generalization in mice.

Genetic knockout and pharmaceutical inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome enhances the extinction of contextual fear memory, which is attributed to its role in neuronal and synaptic dysregulation, concurrent with neurotransmitter function disturbances. This study aimed to determine whether NLRP3 plays a role in generalizing fear via the inflammatory axis. We established the NLRP3 KO mice model, followed by behavioral and biochemical analyses.

ApoE4 dysregulation incites depressive symptoms and mitochondrial impairments in mice.

A novel dopamine D2 receptor-NR2B protein complex might contribute to morphine use disorders.

Dopamine receptors can form heteromeric interactions with other receptors, including glutamate receptors, and present a novel pharmacological target because it contribute to dopamine-dysregulated brain disorders such as addiction and other motor-related diseases. In addition, dopamine receptors D2 (D2Rs) and glutamate NMDA receptors subtype-NR2B have been implicated in morphine use disorders; however, the molecular mechanism underlying the heteromeric complex of these two receptors in morphine use disorders is unclear. Herein, we focus on interactions between D2R and NR2B in morphine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) and hyperlocomotion mice models.

D1R-5-HT2AR Uncoupling Reduces Depressive Behaviours via HDAC Signalling.

Dopamine and serotonin signalling are associated with major depressive disorder, which is a prevalent life-threatening illness worldwide. Numerous FDA-approved dopamine/serotonin signalling-modifying drugs are available but are associated with concurrent side effects and limited efficacy. Thus, identifying and targeting their signalling pathway is crucial for improving depression treatment.

Pulsed vapor cell atomic clock with a differential Faraday rotation angle detection.

Laser intensity noise is one of the main limiting factors in pulsed vapor cell clocks. To reduce the contribution of the laser intensity noise to detection signal in the pulsed optically pumped atomic clock, a scheme based on the differential Faraday rotation angle is proposed. Theoretically, the Ramsey fringes, the sensitivity of clock frequency to laser intensity fluctuation and the signal to noise ratio for absorption, differential, and Faraday rotation angle methods are calculated and compared.

Adiponectin alleviated Alzheimer-like pathologies via autophagy-lysosomal activation.

Adiponectin (APN) deficiency has also been associated with Alzheimer-like pathologies. Recent studies have illuminated the importance of APN signaling in reducing Aβ accumulation, and the Aβ elimination mechanism remains rudimentary. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the APN role in reducing Aβ accumulation and its associated abnormalities by targeting autophagy and lysosomal protein changes.

Anti-depressive-like behaviors of APN KO mice involve Trkb/BDNF signaling related neuroinflammatory changes.

Major depression disorder is a severe mental illness often linked with metabolic disorders. Adiponectin is an adipocyte-secreted circulatory hormone with antidiabetic and glucose/lipid modulation capacities. Studies have demonstrated the pathophysiological roles of adiponectin involved in various neurological disorders, including depression.

Fluoxetine regulates eEF2 activity (phosphorylation) via HDAC1 inhibitory mechanism in an LPS-induced mouse model of depression.

Background: Selective serotonin reuptaker inhibitors, including fluoxetine, are widely studied and prescribed antidepressants, while their exact molecular and cellular mechanism are yet to be defined. We investigated the involvement of HDAC1 and eEF2 in the antidepressant mechanisms of fluoxetine using a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced depression-like behavior model.

Methods: For in vivo analysis, mice were treated with LPS (2 mg/kg BW), fluoxetine (20 mg/kg BW), HDAC1 activator (Exifone: 54 mg/kg BW) and NH125 (1 mg/kg BW).
