Rod Photoreceptors Express GPR55 in the Adult Vervet Monkey Retina
Cannabinoids exert their actions mainly through two receptors, the cannabinoid CB1 receptor (CB1R) and cannabinoid CB2 receptor (CB2R). In recent years, the G-protein coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) was suggested as a cannabinoid receptor based on its activation by anandamide and tetrahydrocannabinol. Yet, its formal classification is still a matter of debate. CB1R and CB2R expression patterns are ...
متن کاملRod photoreceptors dissociated from the adult rabbit retina.
Rod photoreceptors have been isolated from the adult rabbit retina using enzymatic and mechanical dissociation procedures; their fine structure, synaptic activity, and long-term viability were examined using conventional electron-microscopic, quick-freezing, and cell culture techniques. Freshly dissociated photoreceptors were well-preserved compared to their counterparts in the intact retina. A...
متن کاملAdult donor rod photoreceptors integrate into the mature mouse retina.
PURPOSE Previous studies indicate that early postnatal mouse photoreceptors have the ability to integrate into the mature host retina after transplantation, while progenitors and fully differentiated photoreceptors do not. The authors sought to determine whether the decline in the ability of photoreceptors to integrate after transplantation with increasing age is related to a loss of migratory ...
متن کاملMüller cells express the cannabinoid CB2 receptor in the vervet monkey retina.
The presence of the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1R) has been largely documented in the rodent and primate retinae in recent years. There is, however, some controversy concerning the presence of the CB2 receptor (CB2R) within the central nervous system. Only recently, CB2R has been found in the rodent retina, but its presence in the primate retina has not yet been demonstrated. The aim of thi...
