Aberrant expression of the glutamate transporter excitatory amino acid transporter 1 (EAAT1) in Alzheimer's diseaseHeather L Scott
Departments of Biochemistry and Physiology and Pharmacology, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, 4072
J Neurosci 22:RC206. 2002..This study implicates aberrant glutamate transporter expression as a mechanism involved in neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease...
Quantitation of NMDA receptor NR2 mRNA transcripts in human brain by competitive RT-PCRMatthew R Hynd
Department of Biochemistry, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia
Brain Res Brain Res Protoc 11:67-79. 2003..Used in conjunction with a method for the quantitation of hNR1 transcripts [Brain Res. Protoc., in press], a complete analysis of NMDA receptor mRNA expression can be obtained...
Differential expression of the GABA transporters GAT-1 and GAT-3 in brains of rats, cats, monkeys and humansDavid V Pow
Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Queensland, Brisbane, 4072, Australia
Cell Tissue Res 320:379-92. 2005..We suggest that differences in GAT distribution, especially the expression of GAT-3 by oligodendrocytes in humans, must be accommodated in extrapolating rodent models of GABA homeostasis to humans...
Differential expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor NR2 isoforms in Alzheimer's diseaseMatthew R Hynd
School of Molecular and Microbial Sciences, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
J Neurochem 90:913-9. 2004..The results suggest that NR2 subunit composition may modulate NMDA receptor-mediated excitotoxicity. NMDA receptor dysfunction might give rise to the regionally selective pattern of neuronal loss that is characteristic of AD...
Selective loss of NMDA receptor NR1 subunit isoforms in Alzheimer's diseaseMatthew R Hynd
Department of Biochemistry, University of Queensland, Australia
J Neurochem 89:240-7. 2004..Cells that express NR1 subunits with the N-terminal cassette may be selectively vulnerable to toxicity in AD...
Glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's diseaseMatthew R Hynd
Department of Biochemistry, University of Queensland, Brisbane 4072, Australia
Neurochem Int 45:583-95. 2004..This review discusses mechanisms for the involvement of the NMDA receptor complex and its interaction with polyamines in the pathogenesis of AD. NMDA receptor antagonists have potential for the therapeutic amelioration of AD...
Glial glutamate transporter expression patterns in brains from multiple mammalian speciesSusan M Williams
Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia
Glia 49:520-41. 2005..Collectively our data suggest that assumptions as to the roles of glutamate transporters in any species may need to be tested empirically...
Selective loss of synaptic proteins in Alzheimer's disease: evidence for an increased severity with APOE varepsilon4Rudi K Tannenberg
School of Molecular and Microbial Sciences, University of Queensland, Brisbane 4072, Queensland, Australia
Neurochem Int 49:631-9. 2006....
The identification and characterization of excitotoxic nerve-endings in Alzheimer diseaseRudi K Tannenberg
Department of Biochemistry, University of Queensland, Australia
Curr Alzheimer Res 1:11-25. 2004..We discuss experimental methods to quantitate synapses, which are crucial for deciding between the various possibilities...
Localization of a brain sulfotransferase, SULT4A1, in the human and rat brain: an immunohistochemical studyNancy E Liyou
School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Queensland, St Lucia, Queensland, Australia
J Histochem Cytochem 51:1655-64. 2003..The findings from this study may assist in determining the physiological role of this SULT isoform...
Quantitation of alternatively spliced NMDA receptor NR1 isoform mRNA transcripts in human brain by competitive RT-PCRMatthew R Hynd
Department of Biochemistry, University of Queensland, Brisbane 4072, Australia
Brain Res Brain Res Protoc 11:52-66. 2003..Neurochem. 78 (2001) 175]. Furthermore, alterations in hNR1 mRNA expression may be reflected at the translational level, resulting in functional changes in the NMDA receptor...
The role of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors in neuronal excitotoxicity in Alzheimer's diseaseVicky W-W Tsai
School of Molecular and Microbial Sciences and Institute for Molecular Bioscience, University of Queensland, Brisbane 4072 Australia
Neurotox Res 7:125-41. 2005..They represent a pharmacological path to a relatively subtle amelioration of neurotoxicity because they serve a modulatory rather than a direct role in excitatory glutamatergic transmission...
