Newest firstSynaptic plasticity is the key mechanism underlying learning and memory. Neurexins are pre-synaptic molecules that play a pivotal role in synaptic plasticity, interacting with many different post-synaptic molecules in the formation of neural circuits. Neurexins are alternatively spliced at different splice sites, yielding thousands of isoforms with different properties of interaction with post-synaptic molecules f…
Open article record in new tab ↗Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, characterized by β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, leading to neuronal loss and cognitive impairments. Recent studies have reported the dysregulation of RNA splicing in AD pathogenesis. Our previous transcriptomic study demonstrated the neuroprotective effect of the phytocannabinoid cannabinerol (CBNR) against the cell viability loss i…
It is of significance to mine the structural genes related to the biosynthetic pathway of fatty acid (FA) and cellulose as well as explore the regulatory mechanism of alternative splicing (AS), microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the biosynthesis of cannabinoids, FA and cellulose, which would enhance the knowledge of gene expression and regulation at post-transcriptional level in Cannabis sati…
Open article record in new tab ↗Prolonged use of opioids can cause opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH). The impact of alternative splicing on OIH remains partially characterized. A study of the absolute and relative modes of action of alternative splicing further the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying OIH. Differential absolute and relative isoform profiles were detected in the trigeminal ganglia and nucleus accumbens of mice pre…
Background Synaptic damage precedes neuron death in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Neurexins, NRXN1, NRXN2, and NRXN3, are presynaptic adhesion molecules that specify neuron synapses and regulate neurotransmitter release. Neurexins and postsynaptic neuroligins interact with amyloid beta oligomer (AβO) deposits in damaged synapses. NRXN3 gene variants have been associated with autism, addiction, and schizophrenia, howev…
