Sensing of nutrients by CPT1C regulates late endosome/lysosome anterograde transport and axon growth
(eLife Sciences Publications, 2019)
Anterograde transport of late endosomes or lysosomes (LE/Lys) is crucial for proper axon growth. However, the role of energetic nutrients has been poorly explored. Malonyl-CoA is a precursor of fatty ...
A nucleotide-based drug protects against glutamate- and MPP+ -induced neurotoxicity
(Scientific Research, 2011)
Nucleo CMP Forte® is a nucleotide-based drug consisting of cytidinemonophosphate, uridinemonophosphate, uridin-ediphosphate and uridinetriphosphate. It has been prescribed for peripheral nervous system ...
Identification of the ghrelin and cannabinoid CB2 receptor heteromer functionality and marked upregulation in striatal neurons from offspring of mice under a high-fat diet
(MDPI, 2021)
Cannabinoids have been reported as orexigenic, i.e., as promoting food intake that, among others, is controlled by the so-called “hunger” hormone, ghrelin. The aim of this paper was to look for functional ...
Differential HMG‐CoA lyase expression in human tissues provides clues about 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaric aciduria
(Wiley, 2010)
3‐Hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaric aciduria is a rare human autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl CoA lyase (HL). This mitochondrial enzyme catalyzes the common final ...
Hypothalamic AMPK-ER Stress-JNK1 axis mediates the central actions of thyroid hormones on energy balance
(Elsevier, 2017-07)
Thyroid hormones (THs) act in the brain to modulate energy balance. We show that central triiodothyronine (T3) regulates de novo lipogenesis in liver and lipid oxidation in brown adipose tissue (BAT) ...
Ghrelin causes a decline in GABA release by reducing fatty acid oxidation in cortex
(Molecular Neurobiology, 2018)
Lipid metabolism, specifically fatty acid oxidation (FAO) mediated by carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) 1A, has been described to be an important actor of ghrelin action in hypothalamus. However, it ...
Central ceramide-induced hypothalamic lipotoxicity and ER stress regulate energy balance
(Elsevier, 2014-10)
Hypothalamic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a key mechanism leading to obesity. Here, we demonstrate that ceramides induce lipotoxicity and hypothalamic ER stress, leading to sympathetic inhibition, ...
Characterization of a novel HMG-CoA lyase enzyme with a dual location in endoplasmic reticulum and cytosol
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2012)
A novel lyase activity enzyme is characterized for the first time: HMG-CoA lyase-like1 (er-cHL), which is a close homolog of mitochondrial HMG-CoA lyase (mHL). Initial data show that there are nine ...
Dental pulp of the third molar: a new source of pluripotent-like stem cells
(Company of Biologists, 2012-09-05)
Dental pulp is particularly interesting in regenerative medicine because of the accessibility and differentiation potential of the tissue.
Dental pulp has an early developmental origin with multi-lineage ...
Proteasomal-mediated degradation of AKAP150 accompanies AMPAR endocytosis during cLTD
(Society for Neuroscience, 2020-03-23)
The number and function of synaptic AMPA receptors (AMPARs) tightly regulates excitatory synaptic transmission. Current evidence suggests that AMPARs are inserted into the postsynaptic membrane during ...
