Yet, this death process is silent, and it does not cause inflammation. The molecular mechanisms underlying anti-inflammatory nature of the apoptotic process remains poorly understood. In this study, we found that the culture supernatant of apoptotic cells activated the macrophages to express anti-inflammatory genes such as Nr4a and Thbs1.

We have identified in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans three ligand-gated chloride channels that are receptors for biogenic amines: LGC-53 is a high-affinity dopamine receptor, LGC-55 is a high-affinity tyramine receptor, and LGC-40 is a low-affinity serotonin receptor that is also gated by choline and acetylcholine. -

Mechanisms of Acetylcholine Receptor Loss in Myasthenia Gravis
J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry: first published as 10.1136/jnnp.43.7.601 on 1 July 1980. Downloaded from Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry, 1980, 43, 601-610 Mechanisms of acetylcholine receptor loss in myasthenia gravis DANIEL B DRACHMAN, ROBERT N ADAMS, ELIS F STANLEY, AND ALAN PESTRONK From the Department of Neurology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA SUMMARY The fundamental abnormality affecting the neuromuscular junctions of myasthenic patients is a reduction of available AChRs, due to an autoimmune attack directed against the receptors. Antibodies to AChR are present in most patients, and there is evidence that they have a predominant pathogenic role in the disease, aided by complement. The mechanism of antibody action involves acceleration of the rate of degradation of AChRs, attributable to cross-linking of the receptors. In addition, antibodies may block AChRs, and may participate in producing destructive changes, perhaps in conjunction with complement. The possibility that cell-mediated mechanisms may play a role in the autoimmune responses of some myasthenic patients remains to be explored. Although the target of the autoimmune attack in myasthenic patients is probably always the acetyl- Protected by copyright. choline receptors, it is not yet clear which of these immune mechanisms are most important. It is likely that the relative role of each mechanism varies from patient to patient. One of the goals of future research will be to identify the relative importance of each -

Protease Effects on the Structure of Acetylcholine Receptor Membranes from Torpedo Californica
PROTEASE EFFECTS ON THE STRUCTURE OF ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTOR MEMBRANES FROM TORPEDO CALIFORNICA MICHAEL W. KLYMKOWSKY, JOHN E . HEUSER, and ROBERT M. STROUD From the Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics, University of California at San Francisco, San Francisco, California 94143 . Dr . Klymkowsky's present address is MRC Neuroimmunology Project, Department of Zoology, University College London, London WC IE, 6BT, England ABSTRACT Protease digestion of acetylcholine receptor-rich membranes derived from Torpedo californica electroplaques by homogenization and isopycnic centrifugation results in degradation of all receptor subunits without any significant effect on the appearance in electron micrographs, the toxin binding ability, or the sedimentation value of the receptor molecule . Such treatment does produce dramatic changes in the morphology of the normally 0.5- to 2-lm-diameter spherical vesicles when observed by either negative-stain or freeze-fracture electron microscopy . Removal of peripheral, apparently nonreceptor polypeptides by alkali stripping (Neubig et al ., 1979, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 76:690-694) results in increased sensitivity of the acetylcholine receptor membranes to the protease trypsin as indicated by SDS gel electrophoretic patterns and by the extent of morphologic change observed in vesicle structure . Trypsin digestion of alkali-stripped receptor membranes results in a limit degradation pattern of all four receptor subunits, whereupon all the vesicles undergo the morphological transformation to minivesicles -
Interplay Between Gating and Block of Ligand-Gated Ion Channels
brain sciences Review Interplay between Gating and Block of Ligand-Gated Ion Channels Matthew B. Phillips 1,2, Aparna Nigam 1 and Jon W. Johnson 1,2,* 1 Department of Neuroscience, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260, USA; [email protected] (M.B.P.); [email protected] (A.N.) 2 Center for Neuroscience, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260, USA * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-(412)-624-4295 Received: 27 October 2020; Accepted: 26 November 2020; Published: 1 December 2020 Abstract: Drugs that inhibit ion channel function by binding in the channel and preventing current flow, known as channel blockers, can be used as powerful tools for analysis of channel properties. Channel blockers are used to probe both the sophisticated structure and basic biophysical properties of ion channels. Gating, the mechanism that controls the opening and closing of ion channels, can be profoundly influenced by channel blocking drugs. Channel block and gating are reciprocally connected; gating controls access of channel blockers to their binding sites, and channel-blocking drugs can have profound and diverse effects on the rates of gating transitions and on the stability of channel open and closed states. This review synthesizes knowledge of the inherent intertwining of block and gating of excitatory ligand-gated ion channels, with a focus on the utility of channel blockers as analytic probes of ionotropic glutamate receptor channel function. Keywords: ligand-gated ion channel; channel block; channel gating; nicotinic acetylcholine receptor; ionotropic glutamate receptor; AMPA receptor; kainate receptor; NMDA receptor 1. Introduction Neuronal information processing depends on the distribution and properties of the ion channels found in neuronal membranes.
