Printed on acid-free paper This Springer imprint is published by Springer Nature The registered company is Springer International Publishing AG The registered company address is: Gewerbestrasse 11, 6330 Cham, Switzerland Preface In 2007, a book entitled Sigma Receptors: Chemistry, Cell Biology and Clinical Implications was published by Springer (Neuroscience Division) with Drs. R. Matsumoto, W. Bowen, and T. Su as editors. Since that time, the field of study regarding sigma receptors has exploded. Indeed in 2006 (at the time the last book would have been updated), there were ~1200 papers pub- lished about sigma receptor; by late 2016, there were more than 4000 publi- cations. The significant progress in the field necessitated a compendium focused on the role of sigma receptors in disease and their potential role as therapeutic targets. Originally confused with opioid receptors and then orphan receptors with no biological function, sigma-1 receptor is now recognized as relevant to many degenerative diseases with remarkable potential as a therapeutic target. In this text, new information about the crystal structure of sigma-1 receptor and its binding sites are provided as well as its expression in many cell types. Its putative role in degenerative neuronal diseases including amyotrophic lat- eral sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, pain, drug addiction, and locomotor activity is described. Its role in cancer biology and its promis- ing potential in treatment of blinding visual diseases emphasize the tremen- dous far-reaching potential for ligands for these receptors. There has been progress in our understanding of sigma-2 receptor, which is covered in this text as well. Exciting breakthroughs in the dynamic field of sigma receptor biology in the last decade are reported herein, which we hope will guide future investi- gators in determining the full potential of this unique, yet abundantly, expressed protein. We thank the many investigators who contributed to this work and look forward to continuing discoveries as the field of sigma recep- tor biology unfolds. We are grateful to Dr. Meran Owen, Senior Publishing Editor at Springer, for reaching out to us and suggesting the need for this updated volume.

Received: 16 May 2011; in revised form: 11 June 2011 / Accepted: 13 June 2011 / Published: 17 June 2011 Abstract: Sigma1 receptors (σ1Rs) represent a structurally unique class of intracellular proteins that function as chaperones. σ1Rs translocate from the mitochondria-associated membrane to the cell nucleus or cell membrane, and through protein-protein interactions influence several targets, including ion channels, G-protein-coupled receptors, lipids, and other signaling proteins. Several studies have demonstrated that σR antagonists block stimulant-induced behavioral effects, including ambulatory activity, sensitization, and acute toxicities. Curiously, the effects of stimulants have been blocked by σR antagonists tested under place-conditioning but not self-administration procedures, indicating fundamental differences in the mechanisms underlying these two effects. The self administration of σR agonists has been found in subjects previously trained to self administer cocaine. The reinforcing effects of the σR agonists were blocked by σR antagonists. Additionally, σR agonists were found to increase dopamine concentrations in the nucleus accumbens shell, a brain region considered important for the reinforcing effects of abused drugs.

Moreover, some data indicate s receptor contribution to stress-induced responses (e.g., conditioned fear stress in mice), though the mechanism by which s ligands can exert their effects, remains unclear. Recent studies have indicated that antidepressant drugs (ADs) inhibit glu- cocorticoid receptor (GR) function in vitro. The aim of the present study was to find out whether s receptor ligands are able to di- rectly affect GR action. To this end, we evaluated the effect of s receptor agonists and antagonists on GR function in mouse fibroblast cells (L929) stably transfected with mouse mammary tumor virus-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (MMTV-CAT) plas- mid (LMCAT cells). For this study, we chose SA 4503, PRE 084, DTG (selective s1 or s1/2 receptor agonists) and BD 1047, SM 21, rimcazole (s receptor antagonists). Fluvoxamine, the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor with s1/2 receptor affinity, was used for comparison. It was found that SM 21 (at 1, 3, 10 and 30 mM), BD 1047 (3, 10 and 30 mM) rimcazole (10 mM), and fluvoxamine (at 3, 10 and 30 mM) significantly inhibited corticosterone-induced gene transcription, while DTG, SA 4503 and PRE 084 remained inef- fective.

Cobos1,2, J.M. Entrena1, F.R. Nieto1, C.M. Cendán1 and E. Del Pozo1,* 1Department of Pharmacology and Institute of Neuroscience, Faculty of Medicine, and 2Biomedical Research Center, University of Granada, Granada, Spain Abstract: Sigma () receptors, initially described as a subtype of opioid receptors, are now considered unique receptors. Pharmacological studies have distinguished two types of receptors, termed 1 and 2. Of these two subtypes, the 1 re- ceptor has been cloned in humans and rodents, and its amino acid sequence shows no homology with other mammalian proteins. Several psychoactive drugs show high to moderate affinity for 1 receptors, including the antipsychotic haloperi- dol, the antidepressant drugs fluvoxamine and sertraline, and the psychostimulants cocaine and methamphetamine; in ad- dition, the anticonvulsant drug phenytoin allosterically modulates 1 receptors. Certain neurosteroids are known to interact with 1 receptors, and have been proposed to be their endogenous ligands. These receptors are located in the plasma membrane and in subcellular membranes, particularly in the endoplasmic reticulum, where they play a modulatory role in 2+ intracellular Ca signaling. Sigma1 receptors also play a modulatory role in the activity of some ion channels and in sev- eral neurotransmitter systems, mainly in glutamatergic neurotransmission. In accordance with their widespread modula- tory role, 1 receptor ligands have been proposed to be useful in several therapeutic fields such as amnesic and cognitive deficits, depression and anxiety, schizophrenia, analgesia, and against some effects of drugs of abuse (such as cocaine and methamphetamine).

Steroids synthesized in the periphery or de novo in the brain, so called ‘neuro- steroids’, exert both genomic and nongenomic actions on neurotransmission systems. Through rapid modulatory effects on neurotransmitter receptors, they influence inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmission. In particular, progesterone derivatives like 3α-hydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one (allopregnanolone) are positive allosteric modulators of the γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor and therefore act as inhibitory steroids, while pregnenolone sulphate (PREGS) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS) are negative modulators of the GABAA receptor and positive modulators of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, therefore acting as excitatory neurosteroids. Some steroids also interact with atypical proteins, the sigma (σ) receptors. Recent studies particularly demonstrated that the σ1 receptor contributes effectively to their pharmaco- logical actions. The present article will review the data demonstrating that the σ1 receptor binds neurosteroids in physiological conditions.

The skel- Sigma receptors are known to be expressed in a variety of human etal metastases are routinely diagnosed with radionuclide skeletal tumor cells, including breast, neural, and melanoma tumors.
