Newest firstCisplatin-induced ototoxicity is a detrimental side effect of chemotherapy leading to hearing loss, for which no treatments are currently available. Despite the growing recognition of the endocannabinoid (eCB) system (ECS) as a significant contributor to different physiological and pathological processes, its role in hearing remains poorly investigated. To fill this knowledge gap, we performed a molecular profilin…
Open article record in new tab ↗Endogenous bioactive lipids are complex signaling mediators actively involved in a plethora of pathophysiological processes, including energy homeostasis and fibrosis. Energy homeostasis is a stable internal state resulting from a dynamic balance between energy expenditure and storage. Dysregulated energy balance can contribute to fibrosis, exhibiting key metabolic effects on insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance…
Extra-cerebral manifestations of Alzheimer's disease (AD) develop in the retina, which is, therefore, considered a "window to the brain". Recent studies demonstrated the dysregulation of the endocannabinoid (eCB) system (ECS) in AD brain. Here, we explored the possible alterations of ECS and the onset of gliosis in the retina of AD-like mice. Tg2576 (TG) mice overexpressing the amyloid precursor protein (APP) were…
Cannabinol (CBN) is a secondary metabolite of cannabis whose beneficial activity on inflammatory diseases of human skin has attracted increasing attention. Here, we sought to investigate the possible modulation by CBN of the major elements of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), in both normal and lipopolysaccharide-inflamed human keratinocytes (HaCaT cells). CBN was found to increase the expression of cannabinoid re…
