Pathway specific modulation of S1P1 receptor signalling in rat and human astrocytes.
(2013)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor subtype 1 (S1P1R) is modulated by phosphorylated FTY720 (pFTY720), which causes S1P1R internalization preventing lymphocyte migration thus limiting autoimmune ... -
The PDZ Domain of PICK1 Differentially Accepts Protein Kinase C-α and GluR2 as Interacting Ligands
(2004)The C terminus (ct) of protein kinase C-α (PKCα) has a type I PDZ binding motif, whereas GluR2 has a type II PDZ binding motif. Both motifs are recognized by the PDZ domain of protein interacting with protein kinase C ... -
PDZ Proteins interacting with c-terminal GluR2/3 are involved in a PKC-dependent regulation of AMPA receptors at hippocampal synapses
(2000)We investigated the role of PDZ proteins (GRIP, ABP, and PICK1) interacting with the C-terminal GluR2 by infusing a ct-GluR2 peptide (“pep2-SVKI”) into CA1 pyramidal neurons in hippocampal slices using whole-cell recordings. ... -
The PDZ Proteins PICK1, GRIP and Syntenin bind multiple glutamate receptor subtypes
(2002)Using sequence homology searches, yeast two-hybrid assays and glutathione S-transferase (GST)-pull-down approaches we have identified a series of glutamate receptor subunits that interact differentially with the PDZ proteins ... -
Pharmacological inhibition of endocannabinoid degradation modulates the expression of inflammatory mediators in the hypothalamus following an immunological stressor
(2012)The endocannabinoid system is an important regulator of the nervous, neuroendocrine and immune systems, thus representing a novel therapeutic target for stress-related neuroinflammatory and psychiatric disorders. However, ... -
Physiological changes following a 12 week gym based stair-climbing, elliptical trainer and treadmill running program in females
(Minerva Medica, 2004)Despite the growing popularity of the elliptical trainer aerobic exercise modality the physiological changes induced following a training program using elliptical trainers remains unknown. Donne investigates the metabolic ... -
Predictive motor learning of temporal delays.
(1999)Anticipatory responses can minimize the disturbances that result from the action of one part of the body on another. Such a predictive response is evident in the anticipatory increase in grip force seen when one hand ... -
Pressure pain thresholds increase after preconditioning 1 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with transcranial direct current stimulation.
(2014)BACKGROUND: The primary motor cortex (M1) is an effective target of non-invasive cortical stimulation (NICS) for pain threshold modulation. It has been suggested that the initial level of cortical excitability of M1 plays ... -
Priming exercise accelerates oxygen uptake kinetics during high-intensity cycle exercise in middle-aged individuals with type 2 diabetes
(2022)Background: The primary phase time constant of pulmonary oxygen uptake kinetics ( ⋅VO2 τ p) during submaximal efforts is longer in middle-aged people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), partly due to limitations in oxygen supply ... -
Priming exercise accelerates pulmonary oxygen uptake kinetics during "work-to-work" cycle exercise in middle-aged individuals with type 2 diabetes
(2021)Purpose: The time constant of phase II pulmonary oxygen uptake kinetics ([Formula: see text]) is increased when high-intensity exercise is initiated from an elevated baseline (work-to-work). A high-intensity priming exercise ... -
The protein interacting with C-kinase (PICK1) interacts with and attenuates parkin-associated endothelial-like (PAEL) receptor-mediated cell deat
(2014)The parkin-associated endothelial-like receptor (PAELR, GPR37) is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor that interacts with and is degraded by parkin-mediated ubiquitination. Mutations in parkin are thought to result in ... -
Rapid and differential regulation of AMPA and kainite receptors at hippocampal mossy fibre synapses by PICK1 and GRIP
(2003)We identified four PDZ domain-containing proteins, syntenin, PICK1, GRIP, and PSD95, as interactors with the kainate receptor (KAR) subunits GluR52b, GluR52c, and GluR6. Of these, we show that both GRIP and PICK1 interactions ... -
Regulation of synaptic strength & AMPA receptor subunit composition by PICK1
(2004)PICK1 (protein interacting with C kinase-1) regulates the surface expression of the AMPA receptor (AMPAR) GluR2 subunit, however,the functional consequences of this interaction are not well understood. Previous work has ... -
The relationship of medical, demographic and psychosocial factors to direct and indirect health utility instruments in rheumatoid arthritis.
(2006)Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is essential for the comparison of treatments for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). CEA centres on accurate measurement of health utility (HU) preferences. Direct measures of HU in RA patients ... -
Removal of Synaptic Ca2+-Permeable AMPA Receptors during Sleep.
(2011)here is accumulating evidence that sleep contributes to memory formation and learning, but the underlying cellular mechanisms are incompletely understood. To investigate the impact of sleep on excitatory synaptic transmission, ... -
Respiratory infection promotes T cell infiltration and Aβ deposition in APP/PS1 mice.
(2014)Alzheimer?s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by deposits of amyloid-? and neurofibrillary tangles. It has been suggested that inflammatory changes are associated with disease; however, ... -
Role of interleukin-4 in regulation of age-related inflammatory changes in the hippocampus.
(The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2005)It is well documented that long term potentiation (LTP) is impaired in the hippocampus of the aged animal. Among the changes that contribute to this impairment is an increase in hippocampal concentration of the pro-inflammatory ... -
Rosiglitazone attenuates the age-related changes in astrocytosis and the deficit in LTP.
(2012)Neuroinflammation is a significant and consistent feature of many neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer?s disease (AD) and Parkinson?s disease (PD). The greatest risk factor for neurodegenerative disorders is ...
