  • Different Role of CA1 5HT3 Serotonin Receptors on Memory $FTXLVLWLRQ'H¿FLW,QGXFHGE\7RWDO 76' DQG5(06OHHS 'HSULYDWLRQ 56'
    Z. Eydipour, G. Vaezi, M. Nasehi, et al. Original Article Different Role of CA1 5HT3 Serotonin Receptors on Memory $FTXLVLWLRQ'H¿FLW,QGXFHGE\7RWDO 76' DQG5(06OHHS 'HSULYDWLRQ 56' Zainab Eydipour PhD1, Gholamhassan Vaezi PhD1, Mohammad Nasehi PhDƔ, Seyed-Ali Haeri-Rouhani PhD3, Mohammad-Reza Zarrindast PhDƔ Abstract Background: Serotonin receptors such as 5-HT3 plays critical role in regulation of sleep, ZDNH cycle and cognitive process. Thus, we investigated the role of CA1 5HT3 serotonin receptors in memory acquisition GH¿FLW induced by total sleep deprivation (TSD; for 24 hour) and REM sleep deprivation (RSD; for 24 hour). Pain perception and locomotor activity were also assessed as factors that may affect the memory process. Methods: 0RGL¿HG water box and multi-platform apparatus were used to induce TSD or RSD, respectively. Passive avoidance, hot plate and open ¿HOG devices were used for assessment of memory acquisition, pain and locomotor activity, respectively. Results: Totally, 152 male Wistar rats were used in the study. Pre-training, intra-CA1 injection of 5-HT3 receptor agonist Chlorophenylbiguanide (Mchl; 0.01 and 0.001 μg/rat; P < 0.001) and antagonist Y-25130 (0.1 μg/rat; P < 0.001) reduced memory acquisition and did not alter pain response, while higher dose of both drugs increased locomotor activity in normal rats. Both TSD and RSD reduced memory acquisition (P < 0.001) and did not alter locomotor activity, while TSD (P < 0.001) but not RSD induced analgesia effect. The amnesia induced by TSD was restored by subthreshold dose of Y25130 (0.001 μg/rat; P < 0.001) but not Mchl (0.0001 μg/rat), while both drugs reversed TSD-induced analgesia effect (P < 0.01 for Mchl and P < 0.05 for Y25130), and Y25130 increased locomotor activity in TSD rats (P < 0.05).

  • Investigating the Pharmacology of Novel 5-HT3 Receptor Ligands; with the Potential to Treat Neuropsychiatric and Gastrointestinal Disorders
    Investigating the pharmacology of novel 5-HT3 receptor ligands; with the potential to treat neuropsychiatric and gastrointestinal disorders by Alexander Roberts A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute of Clinical Sciences College of Medical and Dental Sciences University of Birmingham February 2020 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

Abstract The 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; serotonin) 5-HT3 receptor is an excitatory ligand- gated ion channel expressed in for example the brain and the gastrointestinal tract. Two major subtypes of the receptor have been studied in the most detail; the homomeric 5-HT3A receptor and the heteromeric 5-HT3AB receptor. 5-HT3 receptor antagonists are used clinically to treat chemotherapy induced and post-operative nausea and vomiting, and demonstrate symptomatic relief in diarrhoea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-d); but unfortunately, these medications cause adverse effects such as constipation or rarely ischemic colitis in the latter condition. This study has characterised the pharmacology of two structurally distinct 5-HT3 receptor partial agonists (vortioxetine and CSTI-300); and identified the unique binding properties of the cryptic orthosteric modulator 5-chloroindole (Cl-indole) for the human (h) 5-HT3 receptor.

  • Proteostasis of Glial Intermediate Filaments: Disease Models, Tools, and Mechanisms
    PROTEOSTASIS OF GLIAL INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS: DISEASE MODELS, TOOLS, AND MECHANISMS Rachel Anne Battaglia A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Cell Biology and Physiology in the School of Medicine. Chapel Hill 2021 Approved by: Natasha T. Snider Carol Otey Keith Burridge Douglas Cyr Mohanish Deshmukh Damaris Lorenzo i © 2021 Rachel Anne Battaglia ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Rachel Anne Battaglia: Proteostasis of Glial Intermediate Filaments: Disease Models, Tools, and Mechanisms (Under the direction of Natasha T. Snider) Astrocytes are a major glial cell type that is crucial for the health and maintenance of the Central Nervous System (CNS). They fulfill diverse functions, including synapse formation, neurogenesis, ion homeostasis, and blood brain barrier formation. Intermediate filaments (IFs) are components of the astrocyte cytoskeleton that support many of these functions in healthy individuals. However, upon cellular stress or genetic mutations, IF proteins are prone to accumulation and aggregation. These processes are thought to contribute to disease pathogenesis of different tissue-specific disorders, but therapeutic targeting of IFs is hindered by a lack of pharmacological tools to modulate their assembly and disassembly states. Moreover, the mechanisms that govern the formation and dissolution of IF aggregates are poorly defined. In this dissertation, I investigate IF aggregates called Rosenthal fibers (RFs), which form in astrocytes of patients with two pediatric neurodegenerative diseases, Alexander disease (AxD) and Giant Axonal Neuropathy (GAN). My aim was to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of how astrocyte IF protein aggregates form and interrogate the role of post- translational modifications (PTMs) in this process.

  • Dalwadi, Dhwanil, A, PREVENTION and TREATMENT of DISEASES: a SMALL MOLECULE DISCOVERY and DEVELOPMENT. Doctor of Philosophy (Bio
    Dalwadi, Dhwanil, A, PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF DISEASES: A SMALL MOLECULE DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT. Doctor of Philosophy (Biomedical Sciences), August, 2016, 227 pp., 6 tables, 32 illustrations, 256 references. This work examined the structure-activity relationship, and molecular mechanisms of different structural classes of small molecules at their target receptors. Three different systems were explored and each chapter is devoted to a single system. All three systems utilized similar experimental approaches, and practical application of the same core pharmacological principles. The first system involved the evaluation of the structure-activity space of small molecules acting on the α-like octopamine receptors from the barnacle Balanus improvisus (BiOctR) and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster (DmOctR). A number of molecules belonging to the imidazole and imidazole structural class were determined to have high potency for the BiOctR and the DmOctR. This information will be useful in designing new OctR ligands that are highly selective for the OctRs over their mammalian off-targets. Similarly, for the second system, the structure-activity space of different structural classes of sigma-1 receptor (S1R) ligands were evaluated. Four novel EPGN compounds with more than 100-fold selectivity for the S1R over the sigma-2 receptor were identified which were able to stimulate S1R-mediated BDNF secretion. Potential therapeutic applications of these compounds include the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The third system involved the identification of receptor off-targets of efavirenz that may be responsible for efavirenz’s neuropsychiatric adverse events (NPAEs). In this study, multiple receptor targets of efavirenz belonging to the serotonin receptor family and the muscarinic receptor family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) were identified, and its mechanism of action at these targets was established.
