Using single neurons of rat paratracheal ganglia (PTG) attached with presynaptic boutons, the effects of suplatast tosilate on excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) were investigated with nystatin-perforated patch-clamp recording technique. We found that suplatast concentration dependently inhibited the EPSC amplitude and its frequency in single PTG neurons attached with presynaptic boutons. EPSC frequency was higher sensitive to suplatast than EPSC amplitude. IC for EPSC frequency was 1.1 × 10 M, being similar to that for the effect on histamine release from mast cells and lower than that for the inhibitory effect on cytokine production. Suplatast also inhibited the EPSCs potentiated by bradykinin (BK), but it did not affect the potentiation itself by BK. Thus suplatast inhibited the EPSC of PTG neurons attached with presynaptic boutons at both the presynaptic and postsynaptic sites. In this study, using single neurons of rat paratracheal ganglia (PTG) attached with presynaptic boutons, the effects of suplatast tosilate on excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) were investigated with patch-clamp recording technique. We found that suplatast concentration dependently inhibited the EPSC amplitude and its frequency in single PTG neurons attached with presynaptic boutons. Thus suplatast inhibited the function of PTG neurons at both of presynaptic and postsynaptic sites.

Complexin regulation of synaptic vesicle release: mechanisms in the central nervous system and specialized retinal ribbon synapses.

Synaptic ribbons, recognized for their pivotal role in conveying sensory signals in the visual pathway, are intricate assemblages of presynaptic proteins. Complexin (CPX) regulates synaptic vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter release by modulating the assembly of the soluble NSF attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex, ensuring precise signal transmission in the retina and the broader central nervous system (CNS). While CPX1 or CPX2 isoforms (CPX1/2) play crucial roles in classical CNS synapses, CPX3 or CPX4 isoforms (CPX3/4) specifically regulate retinal ribbon synapses.

Introduction: Pathogenic variants in the gene are associated to a large spectrum of severe early onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (OMIM #612164). They were also identified in various other neurodevelopmental disorders. This gene encodes for the syntaxin-binding protein 1, a member of the SEC-1 family of membrane-transport proteins that modulate the presynaptic vesicular fusion by interacting with soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs).

Co-administration of mirogabalin besylate and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is effective for neuropathic pain; however, mechanism of its action remains unknown. We aimed to evaluate the mechanism of this synergistic effect of the concomitant administration for neuropathic pain using chronic constriction injury model rats. Fifty male Wister rats of 7-week-old were used.

Synaptic vesicles (SVs) fuse with the presynaptic membrane (PM) to release neuronal transmitters. The SV protein synaptotagmin 1 (Syt1) serves as a Ca sensor for evoked fusion. Syt1 is thought to trigger fusion by penetrating the PM upon Ca binding; however, the mechanistic detail of this process is still debated.

Calcium channels at synaptic boutons are critical for synaptic function, but their number and distribution are poorly understood. This gap in knowledge is primarily due to the resolution limits of fluorescence microscopy. In the last decade, the diffraction limit of light was surpassed, and fluorescent molecules can now be localized with nanometer precision.
