Increased brain levels of the tryptophan metabolite kynurenic acid (KYNA) have been linked to cognitive dysfunctions in schizophrenia and other psychiatric diseases. In rat, local inhibition kynurenine aminotransferase II (KAT II), enzyme responsible for neosynthesis readily mobilizable KYNA brain, leads a prompt reduction extracellular levels, secondarily induces an increase glutamate, dopamine, acetylcholine several areas. Using microdialysis unanesthetized, adult rats, we now show that...
Abstract The oncoprotein MYCN drives malignancy in various cancer types, including neuroblastoma (NB). However, our understanding of the mechanisms underlying its transcriptional activity and oncogenic function, as well effective strategies to target it, remains limited. We discovered that interacts with coactivator KAT2A, this interaction significantly contributes MYCN’s NB. Our genome-wide analyses indicate recruits KAT2A bind DNA, thereby transcriptionally regulating genes associated...
The primate brain is equipped to learn and remember newly encountered visual stimuli such as faces objects. In the macaque inferior temporal (IT) cortex, neurons mark familiarity of a stimulus through response modification, often involving decrease in spiking rate. Here, we investigate emergence this neural plasticity by longitudinally tracking IT during several weeks familiarization with face images. We found that most anterior medial (AM) patch exhibited gradual decline their late-phase...
A known selective agonist of the A(3) adenosine receptors (AR), MRS1898 [(1'R,2'R,3'S,4'R,5'S)-4-{2-chloro-6-[(3-iodophenylmethyl)amino]purin-9-yl}-1-(methylaminocarbonyl)bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2,3-diol], was synthesized in radioactive form and characterized pharmacologically. This ligand series, based on nucleoside analogues containing a rigid, bicyclic ring system place ribose moiety, selected for radiolabeling due to its high A(3)AR affinity across species, with nanomolar binding at both...
Advances in drug treatments for brain metastases of breast cancer have improved progression-free survival but new, more efficacious strategies are needed. Most chemotherapeutic drugs infiltrate by moving between capillary endothelial cells, paracellular distribution, resulting heterogeneous lower than that systemic metastases. Herein, we tested three well-known transcytotic pathways through cells as potential avenues access: transferrin receptor (TfR) peptide, low-density lipoprotein 1...
