The matricellular protein Drosophila Cellular Communication Network Factor is required for synaptic transmission and female fertility

Within the extracellular matrix, matricellular proteins are dynamically expressed nonstructural proteins that interact with cell surface receptors, growth factors, and proteases, as well as with structural matrix proteins. The cellular communication networ ...

Dysfunction of homeostatic control of dopamine by astrocytes in the developing prefrontal cortex leads to cognitive impairments

Graham Knott, Nicole Déglon, Corrado Cali

Astrocytes orchestrate neural development by powerfully coordinating synapse formation and function and, as such, may be critically involved in the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental abnormalities and cognitive deficits commonly observed in psychiatric dis ...

The metabolite BH4 controls T cell proliferation in autoimmunity and cancer

Kai Johnsson, Jairo Alexander Lozano Moreno, Yann Mathieu Pierson

Genetic regulators and environmental stimuli modulate T cell activation in autoimmunity and cancer. The enzyme co-factor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is involved in the production of monoamine neurotransmitters, the generation of nitric oxide, and pain(1,2). ...

Arylvinylpiperazine Amides, a New Class of Potent Inhibitors Targeting QcrB of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Andrej Benjak, Anthony Vocat, Jérémie Piton, Raphael Christopher Sommer, Shi-Yan Caroline Foo, Andréanne Lupien

New drugs are needed to control the current tuberculosis (TB) pandemic caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We report here on our work with AX-35, an arylvinylpiperazine amide, and four related analogs, which are potent antitubercular agent ...

Social deficits induced by peripubertal stress in rats are reversed by resveratrol

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Olivia Zanoletti, Guillaume Poirier

Adolescence is increasingly recognized as a critical period for the development of the social system, through the maturation of social competences and of their underlying neural circuitries. The present study sought to test the utility of resveratrol, a di ...

Enzyme and Acid Deconjugation of Plasma Sulfated Metanephrines

Sandrine Gerber

Background: Total (i.e. free + sulfated) metanephrines in plasma is a biomarker for the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma. Sulfated metanephrines must be completely deconjugated by perchloric acid hydrolysis or sulfatase treatment prior to analyt ...

Lack of Enantioselectivity in the SULT1A3-catalyzed Sulfoconjugation of Normetanephrine Enantiomers: An In Vitro and Computational Study

Sandrine Gerber, Jean-Baptiste Gualtierotti

(1R)-Normetanephrine is the natural stereoisomeric substrate for sulfotransferase 1A3 (SULT1A3)-catalyzed sulfonation. Nothing appears known on the enantioselectivity of the reaction despite its potential significance in the metabolism of adrenergic amines ...

Peripuberty stress leads to abnormal aggression, altered amygdala and orbitofrontal reactivity and increased prefrontal MAOA gene expression

Pierre Magistretti, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Didier Trono, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana, Guillaume Poirier, Anna Claire Groner

Although adverse early life experiences have been found to increase lifetime risk to develop violent behaviors, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying these long-term effects remain unclear. We present a novel animal model for pathological aggression in ...

Synthetic calibrators for the analysis of sulfoconjugated metanephrines in urine: hydrolysis conditions revisited

Sandrine Gerber, Jonathan Simonin

Background: The quantification of total (free + sulfated) metanephrines in urine is recommended to diagnose pheochromocytoma. Urinary metanephrines include metanephrine itself, normetanephrine and methoxytyramine, mainly in the form of sulfate conjugates ( ...

MAOA-L carriers are better at making optimal financial decisions under risk

Genes can affect behaviour towards risks through at least two distinct neurocomputational mechanisms: they may affect the value assigned to different risky options, or they may affect the way in which the brain adjudicates between options based on their va ...

Neurobiological Mechanisms Involved in the Establishment and Maintenance of Dominance Hierarchies and its Modulation by Stress in Rats

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Marjan Timmer

Stress can have a strong and long lasting effect on the establishment and maintenance of dominance hierarchies in rats. When two rats of a pair have not been stressed (non-stressed pair) before a first social encounter, they establish a dominance hierarchy ...
