Chemical genetics reveals a complex functional ground state of neural stem cells.

Nat. Chem. Biol. 3(5) , 268-273, (2007)

The identification of self-renewing and multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs) in the mammalian brain holds promise for the treatment of neurological diseases and has yielded new insight into brain cancer. However, the complete repertoire of signaling pathways ...

A quantitiative LC-MS/MS method for the measurement of arachidonic acid, prostanoids, endocannabinoids, N-acylethanolamines and steroids in human plasma.

J. Chromatogr. B. Analyt. Technol. Biomed. Life Sci. 976-977 , 6-18, (2015)

Free arachidonic acid is functionally interlinked with different lipid signaling networks including those involving prostanoid pathways, the endocannabinoid system, N-acylethanolamines, as well as steroids. A sensitive and specific LC-MS/MS method for the qua...

Genetic mapping of targets mediating differential chemical phenotypes in Plasmodium falciparum.

Nat. Chem. Biol. 5 , 765-71, (2009)

Studies of gene function and molecular mechanisms in Plasmodium falciparum are hampered by difficulties in characterizing and measuring phenotypic differences between individual parasites. We screened seven parasite lines for differences in responses to 1,279...

Kindling alters neurosteroid-induced modulation of phasic and tonic GABAA receptor-mediated currents: role of phosphorylation.

J. Neurochem. 116(6) , 1043-56, (2011)

We have previously shown that after kindling (a model of temporal lobe epilepsy), the neuroactive steroid tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone (THDOC) was unable to augment GABA type A receptor (GABA(A))-mediated synaptic currents occurring on pyramidal cells of the...

Changes in CCK-4 induced panic after treatment with the GABA-reuptake inhibitor tiagabine are associated with an increase in 3alpha,5alpha-tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone concentrations.

Psychoneuroendocrinology 34(10) , 1586-9, (2009)

There is evidence that gamma-amino-butyric acid type A (GABA(A))-receptor modulating neuroactive steroids play a role in the pathophysiology of panic disorder. Antidepressant treatment has been suggested to stabilize the concentrations of neuroactive steroids...

Enduring changes in tonic GABAA receptor signaling in dentate granule cells after controlled cortical impact brain injury in mice.

Exp. Neurol. 277 , 178-89, (2016)

Changes in functional GABAAR signaling in hippocampus have previously been evaluated using pre-clinical animal models of either diffuse brain injury or extreme focal brain injury that precludes measurement of cells located ipsilateral to injury. As a result, ...

Urinary corticosteroid excretion predicts left ventricular mass and proteinuria in chronic kidney disease.

Clin. Sci. 123(5) , 285-94, (2012)

Blockade of the MR (mineralocorticoid receptor) in CKD (chronic kidney disease) reduces LVMI [LV (left ventricular) mass index] and proteinuria. The MR can be activated by aldosterone, cortisol and DOC (deoxycorticosterone). The aim of the present study was t...

Mnemonic effects of progesterone to mice require formation of 3alpha,5alpha-THP.

Neuroreport 21(8) , 590-5, (2010)

Ovarian hormones organize and activate neural circuits for reproduction and may also mediate cognition. Research has focused on estradiol's mnemonic effects, albeit progesterone covaries with estradiol and its mechanisms for cognition require attention. Studi...

Multiple roles for the first transmembrane domain of GABAA receptor subunits in neurosteroid modulation and spontaneous channel activity.

Neurosci. Lett. 473(3) , 242-7, (2010)

Neurosteroids exert potent physiological effects by allosterically modulating synaptic and extrasynaptic GABA(A) receptors. Some endogenous neurosteroids, such as 3alpha, 21-dihydroxy-5beta-pregnan-20-one (5alpha, 3alpha-THDOC), potentiate GABA(A) receptor fu...

Acute neurosteroids inhibit the spinal reflex potentiation via GABAergic neurotransmission.

Am. J. Physiol. Renal Physiol. 299(1) , F43-8, (2010)

Recently, we demonstrated a chronic neurosteroid-dependent inhibition of activity-dependent spinal reflex potentiation (SRP), but it remains unclear whether neurosteroids acutely modulate SRP induction. This study shows progesterone as well as two of its 3alp...
