  • Exploring the Activity of an Inhibitory Neurosteroid at GABAA Receptors
    1 Exploring the activity of an inhibitory neurosteroid at GABAA receptors Sandra Seljeset A thesis submitted to University College London for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2016 Department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology University College London Gower Street WC1E 6BT 2 Declaration I, Sandra Seljeset, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I can confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract The GABAA receptor is the main mediator of inhibitory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. Its activity is regulated by various endogenous molecules that act either by directly modulating the receptor or by affecting the presynaptic release of GABA. Neurosteroids are an important class of endogenous modulators, and can either potentiate or inhibit GABAA receptor function. Whereas the binding site and physiological roles of the potentiating neurosteroids are well characterised, less is known about the role of inhibitory neurosteroids in modulating GABAA receptors. Using hippocampal cultures and recombinant GABAA receptors expressed in HEK cells, the binding and functional profile of the inhibitory neurosteroid pregnenolone sulphate (PS) were studied using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings. In HEK cells, PS inhibited steady-state GABA currents more than peak currents. Receptor subtype selectivity was minimal, except that the ρ1 receptor was largely insensitive. PS showed state-dependence but little voltage-sensitivity and did not compete with the open-channel blocker picrotoxinin for binding, suggesting that the channel pore is an unlikely binding site. By using ρ1-α1/β2/γ2L receptor chimeras and point mutations, the binding site for PS was probed.

Importantly, human pain perception by genetics. Rare gain of function this chimera, DII S1–S4, forms functional sodium channels and is molpharm.aspetjournals.org mutations in NaV1.7 lead to spontaneous pain in humans whereas potently inhibited by the NaV1.7 VSD2 targeted peptide toxin loss of function mutations results in congenital insensitivity to pain. ProTx-II. Further, we show by [125I]ProTx-II binding and surface Hence, agents that specifically modulate the function of NaV1.7 plasmon resonance that the purified DII S1–S4 protein retains high have the potential to yield novel therapeutics to treat pain.

  • Label-Free Cell Phenotypic Profiling Decodes the Composition And
    OPEN Label-free cell phenotypic profiling SUBJECT AREAS: decodes the composition and signaling POTASSIUM CHANNELS SENSORS AND PROBES of an endogenous ATP-sensitive Received potassium channel 28 January 2014 Haiyan Sun1*, Ying Wei1, Huayun Deng1, Qiaojie Xiong2{, Min Li2, Joydeep Lahiri1 & Ye Fang1 Accepted 24 April 2014 1Biochemical Technologies, Science and Technology Division, Corning Incorporated, Corning, NY 14831, United States of Published America, 2The Solomon H. Snyder Department of Neuroscience and High Throughput Biology Center, Johns Hopkins University 12 May 2014 School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland 21205, United States of America. Current technologies for studying ion channels are fundamentally limited because of their inability to Correspondence and functionally link ion channel activity to cellular pathways. Herein, we report the use of label-free cell requests for materials phenotypic profiling to decode the composition and signaling of an endogenous ATP-sensitive potassium should be addressed to ion channel (KATP) in HepG2C3A, a hepatocellular carcinoma cell line. Label-free cell phenotypic agonist Y.F. (fangy2@corning. profiling showed that pinacidil triggered characteristically similar dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) com) signals in A431, A549, HT29 and HepG2C3A, but not in HepG2 cells. Reverse transcriptase PCR, RNAi knockdown, and KATP blocker profiling showed that the pinacidil DMR is due to the activation of SUR2/ Kir6.2 KATP channels in HepG2C3A cells. Kinase inhibition and RNAi knockdown showed that the pinacidil * Current address: activated KATP channels trigger signaling through Rho kinase and Janus kinase-3, and cause actin remodeling. The results are the first demonstration of a label-free methodology to characterize the Biodesign Institute, composition and signaling of an endogenous ATP-sensitive potassium ion channel.
