Impact of efficacy at the μ-opioid receptor on antinociceptive effects of combinations of μ-opioid receptor agonists and cannabinoid receptor agonists.

J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 351(2) , 383-9, (2014)

Cannabinoid receptor agonists, such as Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ(9)-THC), enhance the antinociceptive effects of μ-opioid receptor agonists, which suggests that combining cannabinoids with opioids would improve pain treatment. Combinations with lower effic...

Essential role for STIM1/Orai1-mediated calcium influx in PDGF-induced smooth muscle migration.

Am. J. Pathol. 298 , C993-1005, (2010)

We recently demonstrated that thapsigargin-induced passive store depletion activates Ca(2+) entry in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) through stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1)/Orai1, independently of transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) chann...

Characterizing cannabinoid CB2 receptor ligands using DiscoveRx PathHunter beta-arrestin assay.

J. Biomol. Screen. 14 , 49-58, (2009)

The authors have characterized a set of cannabinoid CB(2) receptor ligands, including triaryl bis sulfone inverse agonists, in a cell-based receptor/beta-arrestin interaction assay (DiscoveRx PathHunter). The results were compared with results using a competi...

Possible contribution of pannexin channel to ATP-induced currents in vitro in vasopressin neurons isolated from the rat supraoptic nucleus

Brain Res. 1394 , 71-8, (2011)

Release of arginine vasopressin (AVP) from magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) of the supraoptic nucleus (SON) is controlled by the electrical activity of these neurons. ATP plays a crucial role in the regulation of SON MNCs by activating the purinergic...
