Cocaine-induced behavioral sensitization decreases the expression of endocannabinoid signaling-related proteins in the mouse hippocampus
Blanco Calvo, Eduardo; Galeano, Pablo; Palomino, Ana; Pavón, Francisco Javier; Rivera, Patricia; Serrano, Antonia; Alen, Francisco; Rubio, Leticia; Vargas, Antonio; Castilla Ortega, Estela; Decara, Juan; Bilbao, Ainhoa; Rodríguez de Fonseca, Fernando; Suárez, Juan (Elsevier, 2016-03-01)In the reward mesocorticolimbic circuits, the glutamatergic and endocannabinoid systems are implicated in neurobiological mechanisms underlying cocaine addiction. However, the involvement of both systems in the hippocampus, ... -
Effects of acute versus repeated cocaine exposure on the expression of endocannabinoid signaling-related proteins in the mouse cerebellum
Palomino, Ana; Pavón, Francisco Javier; Blanco Calvo, Eduardo; Serrano, Antonia; Arrabal, Sergio; Rivera, Patricia; Alén, Francisco; Vargas, Antonio; Bilbao, Ainhoa; Rubio, Leticia; Rodríguez de Fonseca, Fernando; Suárez, Juan (Frontiers Media S.A., 2014-03-05)Growing awareness of cerebellar involvement in addiction is based on the cerebellum's intermediary position between motor and reward, potentially acting as an interface between motivational and cognitive functions. Here, ... -
Localization of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARa) and N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine phospholipase D (NAPE-PLD) in cells expressing the Ca(2+)-binding proteins calbindin, calretinin, and parvalbumin in the adult rat hippocampus
Rivera, Patricia; Arrabal, Sergio; Vargas, Antonio; Blanco Calvo, Eduardo; Serrano, Antonia; Pavón, Francisco Javier; Rodríguez de Fonseca, Fernando; Suárez, Juan (Frontiers Media S.A., 2014-03-17)The N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), oleoylethanolamide (OEA) and palmithylethanolamide (PEA) are known to be endogenous ligands of PPARα receptors, and their presence requires the activation of a specific phospholipase D ... -
Pharmacological activation of CB2 receptors counteracts the deleterious effect of ethanol on cell proliferation in the main neurogenic zones of the adult rat brain
Blanco Calvo, Eduardo; Rodríguez de Fonseca, Fernando; Rivera, Patricia; Suárez, Juan; Bindila, Laura; Alén, Francisco; Rubio, Leticia; Vargas, Antonio; Pavón, Francisco Javier; Serrano, Antonia; Lutz, Beat (Frontiers, 2015)Chronic alcohol exposure reduces endocannabinoid activity and disrupts adult neurogenesis in rodents, which results in structural and functional alterations. Cannabinoid receptor agonists promote adult neural progenitor ... -
Pharmacological blockade of either cannabinoid CB1 or CB2 receptors prevents both cocaine-induced conditioned locomotion and cocaine-induced reduction of cell proliferation in the hippocampus of adult male rat
Blanco Calvo, Eduardo; Rivera, Patricia; Arrabal, Sergio; Vargas, Antonio; Pavón, Francisco Javier; Serrano, Antonia; Castilla Ortega, Estela; Galeano, Pablo; Rubio, Leticia; Suárez, Juan; Rodríguez de Fonseca, Fernando (Frontiers Media S.A., 2014-01-08)Addiction to major drugs of abuse, such as cocaine, has recently been linked to alterations in adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus. The endogenous cannabinoid system modulates this proliferative response as demonstrated ... -
Pharmacological blockade of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) by URB597 improves memory and changes the phenotype of hippocampal microglia despite ethanol exposure
Rivera, Patricia; Fernández Arjona, María del Mar; Silva Peña, Daniel; Blanco Calvo, Eduardo; Vargas, Antonio; López Ávalos, María Dolores; Grondona, Jesús M.; Serrano, Antonia; Pavón, Francisco Javier; Rodríguez de Fonseca, Fernando; Suárez, Juan (Elsevier, 2018)Changes in endogenous cannabinoid homeostasis are associated with both ethanol-related neuroinflammation and memory decline. Extensive research is still required to unveil the role of endocannabinoid signaling activation ...
