Receptors made visible: The described biotin-tagged small-molecule probes with excellent affinities for the CB(1) and CB(2) cannabinoid receptors (CB(1)R and CB(2)R) enable direct visualization of these receptors in native cellular systems, including neurons, microglia, and immune cells. This method
A biotin-protein ligase recognition site (BRS) was inserted into a polypeptide comprised of the maltose-binding protein, the peripheral cannabinoid receptor (CB2), thioredoxin A, and a polyhistidine tag at the carboxy terminus. Expression levels of the recombinant receptor in Escherichia coli
Early brain injury (EBI) which comprises of vasogenic edema and apoptotic cell death is an important component of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) pathophysiology. This study evaluated whether cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R) agonist, JWH133, attenuates EBI after SAH and whether CB2R stimulation
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a single intraperitoneal injection of a stable analogue of endogenous cannabinoid anandamide - R-(+)-methanandamide (2.5 mg/kg) and CP 55,940 (0.25 mg/kg), an egzogenous CB1 receptor-agonist, on the calcitonin (CT) immunoreactivity of
This study reports a successful application of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique in the identification of Cannabis sativa L. cells recovered from fresh and dried powdered plant materials. Two biotin-16-dUTP-labeled FISH probes were designed from the Cannabis-specific
Cannabinoid type 1 receptors and transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 channels have been proposed to act as metabotropic and ionotropic receptors, respectively, for two classes of endogenous polyunsaturated fatty acid amides, the acylethanolamides and the acyldopamides. Furthermore, we and
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) has therapeutic potential for treating chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH)-induced cerebral diseases. This study investigated the protective effects of two ECS compounds, cannabinoid receptor agonist WIN55,212-2 (WIN) and fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitor URB597
Human cannabinoid receptor CB2 belongs to the class A of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). CB2 is predominantly expressed in membranes of cells of immune origin and is implicated in regulation of metabolic pathways of inflammation, neurodegenerative disorders and pain sensing. High resolution
