Combining robotics with enhanced serotonin-driven cortical plasticity improves post-stroke motor recovery

Silvestro Micera

Despite recent progresses in robotic rehabilitation technologies, their efficacy for post-stroke motor recovery is still limited. Such limitations might stem from the insufficient enhancement of plasticity mechanisms, crucial for functional recovery. Here, ...

Excitatory/inhibitory neuronal metabolic balance in mouse hippocampus upon infusion of [U-C-13(6)]glucose

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Bernard Lanz, Carole Poitry-Yamate, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Guillaume Donati, Blanca Lizarbe Serra

Hippocampus plays a critical role in linking brain energetics and behavior typically associated to stress exposure. In this study, we aimed to simultaneously assess excitatory and inhibitory neuronal metabolism in mouse hippocampus in vivo by applying (18) ...

L-Cell Differentiation Is Induced by Bile Acids Through GPBAR1 and Paracrine GLP-1 and Serotonin Signaling

Kristina Schoonjans, Giovanni Sorrentino

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) mimetics are effective drugs for treatment of type 2 diabetes, and there is consequently extensive interest in increasing endogenous GLP-1 secretion and L-cell abundance. Here we identify G-protein-coupled bile acid receptor ...

Bile acids drive colonic secretion of glucagon-like-peptide 1 and peptide-YY in rodents

Kristina Schoonjans

A large number of glucagon-like-peptide-1(GLP-1)- and peptide-YY (PYY)-producing L cells are located in the colon, but little is known about their contribution to whole body metabolism. Since bile acids (BAs) increase GLP-1 and PYY release, and since BAs s ...

A ligand-based system for receptor-specific delivery of proteins

Kai Johnsson, Luc Reymond

Gene delivery using vector or viral-based methods is often limited by technical and safety barriers. A promising alternative that circumvents these shortcomings is the direct delivery of proteins into cells. Here we introduce a non-viral, ligand-mediated p ...

Optimisation of aqueous synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles for biomedical applications

Heinrich Hofmann, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Débora Bonvin

Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were prepared via aqueous synthesis which combines alkaline co-precipitation (CP) of ferric and ferrous precursors with mild hydrothermal (HT) treatment without cupping agents (CA). In this novel synthesis route, CP + HT, w ...

A Gating Mechanism of the Serotonin 5-HT3 Receptor

Horst Arthur Vogel, Shuguang Yuan

Our recently solved high-resolution structure of the serotonin 5-HT3 receptor (5-HT3R) delivered the first detailed structural insights for a mammalian pentameric ligand-gated ion channel. Based on this structure, we here performed a total of 2.8-μs all-at ...

Mechanistic Studies on the Stereoselectivity of the Serotonin 5-HT1A Receptor

Horst Arthur Vogel, Shuguang Yuan

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are involved in a wide range of physiological processes, and they have attracted considerable attention as important targets for developing new medicines. A central and largely unresolved question in drug discovery, whic ...

The electrophysiological effects of the serotonin 1A receptor agonist buspirone in emotional face processing

Fosco Bernasconi

Emotional face processing is critically modulated by the serotonergic system, and serotonin (5-HT) receptor agonists impair emotional face processing. However, the specific contribution of the 5-HT1A receptor remains poorly understood. Here we investigated ...

Natural compounds boldine and menthol are antagonists of human 5-HT

Rudolf Hovius

Background Impaired 5-HT3 receptor function is likely involved in the pathogenesis of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) and 5-HT3 receptor antagonists are effective treatments for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and irritable bow ...

X-ray structure of the mouse serotonin 5-HT3 receptor

Horst Arthur Vogel, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Rudolf Hovius, Cédric Deluz, Ghérici Hassaïne, Romain Wyss, Luigino Grasso, Menno Berend Tol

Neurotransmitter-gated ion channels of the Cys-loop receptor family mediate fast neurotransmission throughout the nervous system. The molecular processes of neurotransmitter binding, subsequent opening of the ion channel and ion permeation remain poorly un ...

Development of plasmid-based expression technology for rapid and sustained production of recombinant proteins in insect cells

Xiao Shen

Due to the high demand for heterogeneous protein production in insect cells, we have established efficient methods for plasmid-based transient gene expression (TGE) in various insect cell lines, including commonly used Spodoptera cell lines Sf9 and HighFiv ...

Thermal Unfolding of a Mammalian Pentameric Ligand-gated Ion Channel Proceeds at Consecutive, Distinct Steps

Horst Arthur Vogel, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Cédric Deluz, Ghérici Hassaïne, Menno Berend Tol

Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) play an important role in fast synaptic signal transduction. Binding of agonists to the beta-sheet-structured extracellular domain opens an ion channel in the transmembrane alpha-helical region of the LGIC. How ...

A Biochemical and Biophysical Investigation of 5-HT3 Receptor Stability

Menno Berend Tol

The 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 receptor (5-HT3R) is a member of the pentameric ligand-gated ion channel (pLGIC) family, that plays an important role in fast signal transduction and cell-cell communication in synapses: They convert a chemical signal from a neuro ...

Functional consequences of prolactin signaling in endothelial cells: a potential link with angiogenesis in pathophysiology?

Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

Prolactin is best known as the polypeptide anterior pituitary hormone, which regulates the development of the mammary gland. However, it became clear over the last decade that prolactin contributes to a broad range of pathologies, including breast cancer. ...

Serotonin receptor diversity in the human colon: Expression of serotonin type 3 receptor subunits 5-HT3C, 5-HT3D, and 5-HT3E

Rudolf Hovius

Since the first description of 5-HT3 receptors more than 50 years ago, there has been speculation about the molecular basis of their receptor heterogeneity. We have cloned the genes encoding novel 5-HT3 subunits 5-HT3C, 5-HT3D, and 5-HT3E and have shown th ...
