We previously found that acute morphine treatment significantly increased uridine release in the dorsal striatum of mice, indicating that uridine may contribute to morphine-induced neurobehavioral changes. In the present study, we analyzed the mechanism involved in morphine-induced uridine release and the role of uridine in morphine-induced neurobehavioral changes. Uridine release in the dorsal striatum of mice was assessed by in vivo microdialysis coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) after morphine treatment. Western blotting and immunofluorescence were used to evaluate the expression of uridine-related proteins. Morphine-induced neurobehavioral changes were assessed by locomotor activity, behavioral sensitization and conditioned place preference (CPP) test. The expression of NT5E, an extracellular enzyme involved in formation of nucleosides, including uridine, was specifically knocked down in the dorsal striatum of mice using adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated short hairpin RNA (shRNA). The results indicated that both acute and chronic morphine administration significantly increased uridine release in the dorsal striatum, and this was associated with upregulation of NT5E but not other uridine-related proteins. Inhibition of NT5E with APCP or shRNA markedly inhibited morphine-induced uridine release in the dorsal striatum and related neurobehavioral changes, including hyperlocomotor activity, behavioral sensitization and CPP. Our data give a better understanding of the contribution of NT5E to morphine-induced uridine release and neurobehavioral changes, and identify NT5E as a potential target for treating morphine abuse.}, keywords = {MORPHINE; uridine; NEUROBEHAVIORAL CHANGES; Ecto-5 '-nucleotidases}, year = {2018}, eissn = {1873-7064}, pages = {1-10} } @article{MTMT:30336484, title = {Intracerebral microdialysis of adenosine and adenosine monophosphate - a systematic review and meta-regression analysis of baseline concentrations}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30336484}, author = {van der Mierden, Stevie and Savelyev, Sergey A. and IntHout, Joanna and de Vries, Rob B.

It can be used to measure various small molecules including the neuroregulator adenosine. Baseline levels of the compounds measured with microdialysis vary over studies. We systematically reviewed the literature to investigate the full range of reported baseline concentrations of adenosine and adenosine monophosphate in microdialysates. We performed a meta-regression analysis to study the influence of flow rate, probe membrane surface area, species, brain area and anaesthesia versus freely behaving, on the adenosine concentration. Baseline adenosine concentrations in microdialysates ranged from 0.8 to 2100nM. There was limited evidence on baseline adenosine monophosphate concentrations in microdialysates. Across studies, we found effects of flow rate and anaesthesia versus freely behaving on dialysate adenosine concentrations (p0.001), but not of probe membrane surface, species, or brain area (p0.14). With increasing flow rate, adenosine concentrations decreased. With anaesthesia, adenosine concentrations increased. The effect of other predictor variables on baseline adenosine concentrations, for example, post-surgical recovery time, could not be analysed because of a lack of reported data. This study shows that meta-regression can be used as an alternative to new animal experiments to answer research questions in the field of neurochemistry. However, current levels of reporting of primary studies are insufficient to reach the full potential of this approach; 63 out of 133 studies could not be included in the analysis because of insufficient reporting, and several potentially relevant factors had to be excluded from the analyses.

It was demonstrated previously that Ino and Guo decreased quinolinic acid (QA)-induced seizures and Urd reduced penicillin-, bicuculline- and pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures. It has also been demonstrated that Ino and Urd may exert their effects through GABAergic system by altering the function of GABAA type of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors (GABAA receptors) whereas Guo decreases glutamate-induced excitability through glutamatergic system, which systems (GABAergic and glutamatergic) are involved in pathomechanisms of absence epilepsy. Thus, we hypothesized that Ino and Guo, similarly to the previously described effect of Urd, might also decrease absence epileptic activity. We investigated in the present study whether intraperitoneal (i.p.) application of Ino (500 and 1000mg/kg), Guo (20 and 50mg/kg), Urd (500 and 1000mg/kg), GABAA receptor agonist muscimol (1 and 3mg/kg), GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculline (2 and 4mg/kg), non-selective Ado receptor antagonist theophylline (5 and 10mg/kg) and non-competitive N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist (+)-5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo (a,d) cyclohepten-5,10-imine maleate (MK-801, 0.0625 and 0.1250mg/kg) alone and in combination have modulatory effects on absence epileptic activity in Wistar Albino Glaxo Rijswijk (WAG/Rij) rats.

Adenosine is derived from the breakdown of extra- or intracellular ATP and is released upon a variety of physiological and pathological stimuli from neuronal and non-neuronal sources, i.e. from glial cells and exerts effects diffusing far away from release sites. The resultant elevation of adenosine levels in the extracellular space reaches micromolar level, and leads to the activation A(1), A(2A), A(2B) and A(3) receptors, localized to pre- and postsynaptic as well as extrasynaptic sites. Activation of presynaptic A(1) receptors inhibits the release of the majority of transmitters including glutamate, acetylcholine, noradrenaline, 5-HT and dopamine, whilst the stimulation of A(2A) receptors facilitates the release of glutamate and acetylcholine and inhibits the release of GABA. These actions underlie modulation of neuronal excitability, synaptic plasticity and coordination of neural networks and provide intriguing target sites for pharmacological intervention in ischemia and Parkinson's disease. However, despite that adenosine is also released during ischemia, A(1) adenosine receptors do not participate in the modulation of excitotoxic glutamate release, which is nonsynaptic and is due to the reverse operation of transporters. Instead, extrasynaptic A(1) receptors might be responsible for the neuroprotection afforded by A(1) receptor activation.}, year = {2011}, eissn = {1873-4294}, pages = {1034-1046}, orcid-numbers = {Vizi, E.

Since various drugs are able to interfere with extrasynaptic signals in vivo, studying the extracellular cell-to-cell communication of brain cells represents a new aspect to improve drugs modulating Gluergic as well as GABAergic neurotransmission.}, year = {2006}, eissn = {1873-4294}, pages = {935-940}, orcid-numbers = {Kékesi, Adrienna Katalin/0000-0003-3042-4878; Juhász, Gábor Dénes/0000-0002-0849-6931} } @article{MTMT:10090417, title = {Taxonomic distribution and quantitative analysis of free purine and pyrimidine nucleosides in snake venoms}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/10090417}, author = {Aird, SD}, doi = {10.1016/j.cbpc.2004.09.020}, journal-iso = {COMP BIOCHEM PHYS B}, journal = {COMPARATIVE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY B-BIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY}, volume = {140}, unique-id = {10090417}, issn = {1096-4959}, year = {2005}, eissn = {1879-1107}, pages = {109-126} } @article{MTMT:109416, title = {Uridine release during aminopyridine-induced epilepsy}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/109416}, author = {Slézia, Andrea and Kékesi, Adrienna Katalin and Szikra, T and Papp, AM and Nagy, K and Szente, Magdolna and Maglóczky, Zsófia and Freund, Tamás and Juhász, Gábor Dénes}, doi = {10.1016/j.nbd.2004.02.011}, journal-iso = {NEUROBIOL DIS}, journal = {NEUROBIOLOGY OF DISEASE}, volume = {16}, unique-id = {109416}, issn = {0969-9961}, year = {2004}, eissn = {1095-953X}, pages = {490-499}, orcid-numbers = {Slézia, Andrea/0000-0002-4528-3169; Kékesi, Adrienna Katalin/0000-0003-3042-4878; Juhász, Gábor Dénes/0000-0002-0849-6931} } @article{MTMT:112734, title = {Characterisation of an uridine-specific binding site in rat cerebrocortical homogenates}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/112734}, author = {Kovács, Ilona and Lasztóczi, Bálint and Szárics, Éva and Héja, László and Sági, Gyula and Kardos, Julianna}, doi = {10.1016/S0197-0186(03)00007-X}, journal-iso = {NEUROCHEM INT}, journal = {NEUROCHEMISTRY INTERNATIONAL}, volume = {43}, unique-id = {112734}, issn = {0197-0186}, year = {2003}, eissn = {1872-9754}, pages = {101-112} } @article{MTMT:33641643, title = {Biochemical regulation of non-rapid-eye-movement sleep}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33641643}, author = {Obal, Jr. F. and Krueger, J.M.}, doi = {10.2741/1033}, journal-iso = {FRONT BIOSCI-LANDMARK}, journal = {FRONTIERS IN BIOSCIENCE-LANDMARK}, volume = {8}, unique-id = {33641643}, issn = {2768-6701}, abstract = {The concept, that sleep regulatory substances (sleep factors) exist, stems from classical endocrinology and is supported by positive transfer experiments in which tissue fluids obtained from sleepy or sleeping animals elicited sleep when injected into recipient animals. The transfer experiments concluded with the identification of four sleep factors: delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP), uridine, oxidized glutathione, and a muramyl peptide. A physiological sleep regulatory role, however, has not been determined for these substances. In contrast, transfer experiments did not play a part in the development of the strong experimental evidence that implicated the currently known sleep factors in sleep regulation. These substances include adenosine, prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), interleukin-1 (IL1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). They promote non-REMS in various species, inhibition of their action or endogenous production results in loss of spontaneous sleep, and their synthesis and/or release display variations correlating with sleep-wake activity. Although the source of these substances vary they all enhance sleep by acting in the basal forebrain / anterior hypothalamus - preoptic region. It is also characteristic of these substances that they interact in multiple ways often resulting in mutual stimulation or potentiation of each other. Finally, there is a third group of substances whose significance in sleep regulation is less clear but for which there are two or more lines of evidence suggesting that they may have a role in modulating non-REM sleep (NREMS). This group includes oleamide, cortistatin, cholecystokinin (CCK), insulin, and nitric oxide (NO). More sleep regulatory substances are likely to be discovered in the future although it is a long and difficult process requiring multiple laboratories to generate sufficient convincing data to implicate any one of them in sleep regulation.}, keywords = {Animals; Humans; Preoptic area; FOREBRAIN; GROWTH HORMONE; CYTOKINE PRODUCTION; tumor necrosis factor alpha; cytokine; review; review; human; animal; physiology; PROTEIN SECRETION; CHOLECYSTOKININ; HORMONES; INSULIN; nonhuman; Animalia; EEG; sleep waking cycle; nonREM sleep; Sleep, REM; sleep; REM sleep; cholinergic nerve cell; nerve ending; somatomedin C; uridine; prostaglandin D2; adenosine; protein synthesis; nitric oxide; interleukin 1beta; Glutathione Disulfide; TNF; cell activity; growth hormone releasing factor; sleep regulation; delta sleep inducing peptide; oleamide; hypothalamus; muramyl peptide}, year = {2003}, eissn = {2768-6698}, pages = {d520-d550} }
