The R- and S-enantiomers of 4-amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid (GABOB) were full agonists at human recombinant rho1 GABA(C) receptors. Their enantioselectivity (R>S) matched that reported for their agonist actions at GABA(B) receptors, but was the opposite to that reported at GABA(A) receptors (S>R). The corresponding methylphosphinic acid analogues proved to be rho1 GABA(C) receptor antagonists with R(+)-CGP44533 being more potent than S(-)-CGP44532, thus showing the opposite enantioselectivity to the agonists R(-)- and S(+)-GABOB. These studies highlight the different stereochemical requirements for the hydroxy group in these analogues at GABA(A), GABA(B) and GABA(C) receptors.

GABA receptors mediate adaptation and sensitization processes in mouse retinal ganglion cells.

Unlabelled: Two coordinated dynamic properties (adaptation and sensitization) are observed in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) under the contrast stimulation. During sustained high-contrast period, adaptation decreases RGCs' responses while sensitization increases RGCs' responses. In mouse retina, adaptation and sensitization respectively show OFF- and ON-pathway-dominance.

Osteoporosis is a significant global health concern, linked to reduced bone density and an increased fracture risk, with effective treatments still lacking. This study explored the potential of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and its receptors as a novel approach to promote osteogenesis and address osteoporosis. GABA concentrations up to 10 mM were well-tolerated by MC3T3-E1 preosteoblast, stimulating osteoblast differentiation and mineralization in a concentration- and time-dependent manner.

Experience regulates synapse formation and function across sensory circuits. How inhibitory synapses in the mammalian retina are sculpted by visual cues remains unclear. By use of a sensory deprivation paradigm, we find that visual cues regulate maturation of two GABA synapse types (GABA and GABA receptor synapses), localized across the axon terminals of rod bipolar cells (RBCs)-second-order retinal neurons integral to the night-vision circuit.
