Neuroprotective Effects of a Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Agonist and Modulator in the Rodent Retina
The purpose of this dissertation is to assess the potential neuroprotective effect of an alpha7 nAChR agonist, PNU-282987, and modulator, PNU-120596, in an in vitro model of excitotoxicity and an in vivo model of acute glaucoma. In in vitro studies, retinas obtained from Long Evans rats were cultured using various concentrations of the PNU compounds to analyze neuroprotection against glutamate-...
متن کاملProgesterone modulates a neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
The major brain nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is assembled from two subunits termed alpha 4 and n alpha 1. When expressed in Xenopus oocytes, these subunits reconstitute a functional acetylcholine receptor that is inhibited by progesterone levels similar to those found in serum. In this report, we show that the steroid interacts with a site located on the extracellular part of the protein, t...
متن کاملImmunization with neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor induces neurological autoimmune disease.
Neuronal nicotinic AChRs (nAChRs) are implicated in the pathogenesis of diverse neurological disorders and in the regulation of small-cell lung carcinoma growth. Twelve subunits have been identified in vertebrates, and mutations of one are recognized in a rare form of human epilepsy. Mice with genetically manipulated neuronal nAChR subunits exhibit behavioral or autonomic phenotypes. Here, we r...
متن کاملPharmacological Characterization of the Allosteric Modulator Desformylflustrabromine and Its Interaction with 4 2 Neuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Orthosteric Ligands
Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are members of the Cys-loop superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels. nAChRs are involved in modulating nicotinic-based signal transmission in the central nervous system and are implicated in a range of disorders. Desformylflustrabromine (dFBr) is a positive allosteric modulator that potentiates 4 2 nAChRs. It has been reported that dFBr is se...
