A rapid, nongenomic pathway facilitates the synaptic transmission induced by retinoic acid at the developing synapse.
We have previously shown that retinoic acid (RA), a factor highly expressed in spinal cord, rapidly and specifically enhances the spontaneous acetylcholine release at developing neuromuscular synapses in Xenopus cell culture, using whole-cell patch-clamp recording. We have now further investigated the underlying mechanisms that are involved in RA-induced facilitation on the frequency of spontan...
متن کاملRapid suppression of inhibitory synaptic transmission by retinoic acid.
In brain, properly balanced synaptic excitation and inhibition is critically important for network stability and efficient information processing. Here, we show that retinoic acid (RA), a synaptic signaling molecule whose synthesis is activated by reduced neural activity, induces rapid internalization of synaptic GABAA receptors in mouse hippocampal neurons, leading to significant reduction of ...
متن کاملRapid, nongenomic actions of retinoic acid on phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase signaling pathway mediated by the retinoic acid receptor.
Retinoic acid (RA) treatment of SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells results in activation of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway, and this activation is required for RA-induced differentiation. Here we show that RA activates PI3K and ERK1/2 MAPK signaling pathways through a rapid, nongenomic mechanism that does not require new gene transcription or newly synthesized proteins. Activat...
متن کاملA rapid, nongenomic, signaling pathway regulates the actin reorganization induced by activation of membrane testosterone receptors.
The human prostate cancer cell line LNCaP bears functional membrane testosterone receptors, which modify the actin cytoskeleton and increase the secretion of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) within minutes. Membrane steroid receptors are, indeed, a newly identified element of steroid action that is different from the classical intracellular sites. In the present work, using a nonpermeable analog...
متن کاملMechanisms Shaping Excitatory Transmission at the Developing Retinogeniculate Synapse
The Harvard community has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters. Abstract The retinogeniculate synapse, the connection between retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and thalamic relay neurons, undergoes extensive remodeling and refinement in the first few postnatal weeks. While many studies have focused on this process, little is known about t...
