Abstract
GSK3B, BDNF, NGF, NRG1, HTR2C, and PIP4K2A play important roles in molecular mechanisms of psychiatric disorders. GSK3B occupies a central position in these molecular mechanisms and is also modulated by psychotropic drugs. BDNF regulates a number of key aspects in neurodevelopment and synaptic plasticity. NGF exerts a trophic action and is implicated in cerebral alterations associated with psychiatric disorders. NRG1 is active in neural development, synaptic plasticity, and neurotransmission. HTR2C is another important psychopharmacological target. PIP4K2A catalyzes the phosphorylation of PI5P to form PIP2, the latter being implicated in various aspects of neuronal signal transduction. In the present study, the six genes were sequenced in a cohort of 19 patients with bipolar affective disorder, 41 patients with recurrent depressive disorder, and 55 patients with depressive episode. The study revealed a number of genetic variants associated with antidepressant treatment response, time to recurrence of episodes, and depression severity. Namely, alleles of rs35641374 and rs10508649 (NRG1 and PIP4K2A) may be prognostic biomarkers of time to recurrence of depressive and manic/mixed episodes among patients with bipolar affective disorder. Alleles of NC_000008.11:g.32614509_32614510del, rs61731109, and rs10508649 (also NRG1 and PIP4K2A) seem to be predictive biomarkers of response to pharmacological antidepressant treatment on the 28th day assessed by the HDRS-17 or CGI-I scale. In particular, the allele G of rs10508649 (PIP4K2A) may increase resistance to antidepressant treatment and be at the same time protective against recurrent manic/mixed episodes. These results support previous data indicating a biological link between resistance to antidepressant treatment and mania. Bioinformatic functional annotation of associated variants revealed possible impact for transcriptional regulation of PIP4K2A. In addition, the allele A of rs2248440 (HTR2C) may be a prognostic biomarker of depression severity. This allele decreases expression of the neighboring immune system gene IL13RA2 in the putamen according to the GTEx portal. The variant rs2248440 is near rs6318 (previously associated with depression and effects of psychotropic drugs) that is an eQTL for the same gene and tissue. Finally, the study points to several protein interactions relevant in the pathogenesis of mood disorders. Functional studies using cellular or animal models are warranted to support these results.

Abstract
ANO1 (TMEM16A) is a Ca2+-activated Cl- channel (CaCC) expressed in peripheral somatosensory neurons that are activated by painful (noxious) stimuli. These neurons also express the Ca2+-permeable channel and noxious heat sensor TRPV1, which can activate ANO1. Here, we revealed an intricate mechanism of TRPV1-ANO1 channel coupling in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. Simultaneous optical monitoring of CaCC activity and Ca2+ dynamics revealed that the TRPV1 ligand capsaicin activated CaCCs. However, depletion of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ stores reduced capsaicin-induced Ca2+ increases and CaCC activation, suggesting that ER Ca2+ release contributed to TRPV1-induced CaCC activation. ER store depletion by plasma membrane-localized TRPV1 channels was demonstrated with an ER-localized Ca2+ sensor in neurons exposed to a cell-impermeable TRPV1 ligand. Proximity ligation assays established that ANO1, TRPV1, and the IP3 receptor IP3R1 were often found in close proximity to each other. Stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) confirmed the close association between all three channels in DRG neurons. Together, our data reveal the existence of ANO1-containing multichannel nanodomains in DRG neurons and suggest that coupling between TRPV1 and ANO1 requires ER Ca2+ release, which may be necessary to enhance ANO1 activation.

Abstract
Nociceptors, sensory neurons in the DRG that detect damaging or potentially damaging stimuli, are key drivers of neuropathic pain. Injury to these neurons causes activation of translation regulation signaling, including the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and mitogen-activated protein kinase interacting kinase (MNK) eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4E pathways. This is a mechanism driving changes in excitability of nociceptors that is critical for the generation of chronic pain states; however, the mRNAs that are translated to lead to this plasticity have not been elucidated. To address this gap in knowledge, we used translating ribosome affinity purification in male and female mice to comprehensively characterize mRNA translation in Scn10a-positive nociceptors in chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CIPN) caused by paclitaxel treatment. This unbiased method creates a new resource for the field, confirms many findings in the CIPN literature and also find extensive evidence for new target mechanisms that may cause CIPN. We provide evidence that an underlying mechanism of CIPN is sustained mTORC1 activation driven by MNK1-eIF4E signaling. RagA, a GTPase controlling mTORC1 activity, is identified as a novel target of MNK1-eIF4E signaling. This demonstrates a novel translation regulation signaling circuit wherein MNK1-eIF4E activity drives mTORC1 via control of RagA translation. CIPN and RagA translation are strongly attenuated by genetic ablation of eIF4E phosphorylation, MNK1 elimination or treatment with the MNK inhibitor eFT508. We identify a novel translational circuit for the genesis of neuropathic pain caused by chemotherapy with important implications for therapeutics.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Neuropathic pain affects up to 10% of the population, but its underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood, leading to poor treatment outcomes. We used translating ribosome affinity purification technology to create a comprehensive translational profile of DRG nociceptors in naive mice and at the peak of neuropathic pain induced by paclitaxel treatment. We reveal new insight into how mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 is activated in neuropathic pain pointing to a key role of MNK1-eIF4E-mediated translation of a complex of mRNAs that control mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 signaling at the surface of the lysosome. We validate this finding using genetic and pharmacological techniques. Our work strongly suggests that MNK1-eIF4E signaling drives CIPN and that a drug in human clinical trials, eFT508, may be a new therapeutic for neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Ca2+‐activated chloride channels (CaCCs) regulate numerous physiological processes including epithelial transport, smooth muscle contraction and sensory processing. Anoctamin‐1 (ANO1, TMEM16A) is a principal CaCC subunit in many cell types, yet our understanding of the mechanisms of ANO1 activation and regulation are only beginning to emerge. Ca2+ sensitivity of ANO1 is rather low and at negative membrane potentials the channel requires several micromoles of intracellular Ca2+ for activation. However, global Ca2+ levels in cells rarely reach such levels and, therefore, there must be mechanisms that focus intracellular Ca2+ transients towards the ANO1 channels. Recent findings indeed indicate that ANO1 channels often co‐localize with sources of intracellular Ca2+ signals. Interestingly, it appears that in many cell types ANO1 is particularly tightly coupled to the Ca2+ release sites of the intracellular Ca2+ stores. Such preferential coupling may represent a general mechanism of ANO1 activation in native tissues.

Abstract
Cellular responsiveness to external stimuli can be altered by extracellular mediators which activate membrane receptors, in turn signalling to the intracellular space via calcium, cyclic nucleotides, membrane lipids or enzyme activity. These signalling events trigger a cascade leading to an effector which can be a channel, an enzyme or a transcription factor. The effectiveness of these intracellular events is enhanced when they are maintained in close proximity by anchoring proteins, which assemble complexes of signalling molecules such as kinases together with their targets, and in this way enhance both the speed and the precision of intracellular signalling. The A kinase anchoring protein (AKAP) family are adaptor proteins originally named for their ability to associate Protein Kinase A and its targets, but several other enzymes bound by AKAPs have now been found and a wide variety of target structures has been described. This review provides an overview of anchoring proteins involved in pain signalling. The key anchoring proteins and their ion channel targets in primary sensory neurons responding to painful stimuli (nociceptors) are discussed.

Abstract
We report that anoctamin 1 (ANO1; also known as TMEM16A) Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channels in small neurons from dorsal root ganglia are preferentially activated by particular pools of intracellular Ca(2+). These ANO1 channels can be selectively activated by the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-induced release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores but not by Ca(2+) influx through voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels. This ability to discriminate between Ca(2+) pools was achieved by the tethering of ANO1-containing plasma membrane domains, which also contained GPCRs such as bradykinin receptor 2 and protease-activated receptor 2, to juxtamembrane regions of the endoplasmic reticulum. Interaction of the carboxyl terminus and the first intracellular loop of ANO1 with IP3R1 (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor 1) contributed to the tethering. Disruption of membrane microdomains blocked the ANO1 and IP3R1 interaction and resulted in the loss of coupling between GPCR signaling and ANO1. The junctional signaling complex enabled ANO1-mediated excitation in response to specific Ca(2+)signals rather than to global changes in intracellular Ca(2+).
