Abstract
The catecholamine dopamine plays an important role in hippocampus-dependent plasticity and related learning and memory processes. Dopamine secretion in the hippocampus is activated by, e.g., salient or novel stimuli, thereby helping to establish and to stabilize hippocampus-dependent memories. Disturbed dopaminergic function in the hippocampus leads to severe pathophysiological conditions. While the role and importance of dopaminergic modulation of hippocampal networks have been unequivocally proven, there is still a lack of detailed molecular and cellular mechanistic understanding of how dopamine orchestrates these hippocampal processes. In this chapter of the special issue "Hippocampal structure and function," we will discuss the current understanding of dopaminergic modulation of basal synaptic transmission and long-lasting, activity-dependent potentiation or depression.

Abstract
Opioids, and more specifically μ-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists such as morphine, have long been clinically used as therapeutics for severe pain states but often come with serious side effects such as addiction and tolerance. Many studies have focused on bringing about analgesia from the MOR with attenuated side effects, but its underlying mechanism is not fully understood. Recently, focus has been geared toward the design and elucidation of the orthosteric site with ligands of various biological profiles and mixed subtype opioid activities and selectivities, but targeting the allosteric site is an area of increasing interest. It has been shown that allosteric modulators play key roles in influencing receptor function such as its tolerance to a ligand and affect downstream pathways. There has been a high variance of chemical structures that provide allosteric modulation at a given receptor, but recent studies and reviews tend to focus on the altered cellular mechanisms instead of providing a more rigorous description of the allosteric ligand's structure-function relationship. In this review, we aim to explore recent developments in the structural motifs that potentiate orthosteric binding and their influences on cellular pathways in an effort to present novel approaches to opioid therapeutic design.

[PMID: 26854125 PMCID: PMC6492821 DOI: 10.1111/cns.12502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2015] [Revised: 11/27/2015] [Accepted: 11/28/2015] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS Sigma-1 receptors are involved in the pathophysiological process of several neuropsychiatric diseases such as epilepsy, depression. Allosteric modulation represents an important mechanism for receptor functional regulation. In this study, we examined antidepressant activity of the latest identified novel and selective allosteric modulator of sigma-1 receptor 3-methyl-phenyl-2, 3, 4, 5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[d]azepin-7-ol (SOMCL-668). METHODS AND RESULTS A single administration of SOMCL-668 decreased the immobility time in the forced swimming test (FST) and tailing suspended test in mice, which were abolished by pretreatment of sigma-1 receptor antagonist BD1047. In the chronic unpredicted mild stress (CUMS) model, chronic application of SOMCL-668 rapidly ameliorated anhedonia-like behavior (within a week), accompanying with the enhanced expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) (Ser-9) in the hippocampus. SOMCL-668 also rapidly promoted the phosphorylation of GSK3β (Ser-9) in an allosteric manner in vitro. In the cultured primary neurons, SOMCL-668 enhanced the sigma-1 receptor agonist-induced neurite outgrowth and the secretion of BDNF. CONCLUSION SOMCL-668, a novel allosteric modulator of sigma-1 receptors, elicits a potent and rapid acting antidepressant effect. The present data provide the first evidence that allosteric modulation of sigma-1 receptors may represent a new approach for antidepressant drug discovery.

Activation of D1-like receptor-dependent phosphatidylinositol signal pathway by SKF83959 inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels in cultured striatal neurons. Brain Res 2015; 1615:71-79. [PMID: 25912434 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2015.04.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2014] [Revised: 04/07/2015] [Accepted: 04/16/2015] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
Dopamine, a key neurotransmitter mediating the rewarding effects, exerts some of its effects by modulating neuronal excitability of striatal medium spiny neurons. A D1-like dopamine receptor-dependent phosphatidylinositol signal pathway exists in the striatum, however little is known about its role in the dopaminergic modulation of striatal neuronal excitability. 3-Methyl-6-chloro-7, 8-hydroxy-1-(3-methylphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine (SKF83959) is a selective D1 receptor agonist with high-affinity. Here, we observed its effect on the voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) in primary cultured striatal neurons by whole cell patch-clamp technique. We found that SKF83959 induced an inhibition on VGSCs in a dose-dependent manner in striatal neurons (IC50 value: 3.31 ± 0.39 μM), which could be prevented by antagonist of D1 receptor, but not that of D2, α1 adrenergic, or cholinoceptor. The effect of SKF83959 on VGSCs was also prevented by pretreatment with inhibitors of phospholipase C (PLC) and protein kinases C (PKC), but the inositol-1,4,5-phosphate 3 (IP3) antagonist did not occlude SKF83959 (1μM)-induced reduction of VGSCs. These data indicate that SKF83959 inhibits VGSCs in cultured striatal neurons via D1-like receptor-phosphatidylinositol-PKC pathway, which may underlie the dopaminergic modulation on striatal neuronal excitability.
