Cocaine reward and locomotion stimulation in mice with reduced dopamine transporter expressionMichael R Tilley
Department of Pharmacology The Ohio State University College of Medicine, Columbus, OH, USA
BMC Neurosci 8:42. 2007..Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine how elevated dopaminergic tone affects how mice respond to cocaine...
Comparison of the monoamine transporters from human and mouse in their sensitivities to psychostimulant drugsDawn D Han
Department of Pharmacology, The Ohio State University College of Medicine, USA
BMC Pharmacol 6:6. 2006..In addition, the drug potencies of the 3 monoamine transporters from mouse have not been compared in the same experiments or along side the human transporters. Further studies and systematic comparisons are needed...
Direct evidence that two cysteines in the dopamine transporter form a disulfide bondRong Chen
Department of Pharmacology, The Ohio State University College of Medicine, 333 West 10th Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210, USA
Mol Cell Biochem 298:41-8. 2007..Our results and previous results are consistent with the notion that the disulfide bond between EL2 cysteines is required for DAT biosynthesis and/or its delivery to the cell surface...
Abolished cocaine reward in mice with a cocaine-insensitive dopamine transporterRong Chen
Department of Pharmacology, Ohio State University, 5184b Graves Hall, 333 West 10th Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103:9333-8. 2006..This mouse model is unique in that it is specifically designed to differentiate the role of DAT from the roles of NET and SERT in cocaine-induced biochemical and behavioral effects...
Fluorescence-based evaluation of shRNA efficacyB J Naughton
Department of Pharmacology, The Ohio State University College of Medicine, Columbus, OH 43210, USA
Anal Biochem 417:162-4. 2011..We show that software predicted shRNAs have varying efficacies and only 2 of the 7 tested shRNAs significantly knocked down their targets...
Dopamine transporter inhibition is necessary for cocaine-induced increases in dendritic spine density in the nucleus accumbensBradley J Martin
Department of Pharmacology, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210, USA
Synapse 65:490-6. 2011..These data show that cocaine-induced increases in dendritic spine density in the NAC require DAT inhibition. Thus, DAT-inhibition may play a role in mediating the long-lasting neural changes associated with drug addiction...
Cause and solutions to the polymerase chain reaction smear problem in genotypingDawn D Han
Department of Pharmacology, The Ohio State University College of Medicine, 333 West 10th Avenue, Columbus, 43210, USA
Anal Biochem 353:296-8. 2006
Conserved serine residues in serotonin transporter contribute to high-affinity cocaine bindingHoward H Gu
Department of Pharmacology, The Ohio State University College of Medicine, 333 West 10th Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210, USA
Biochem Biophys Res Commun 343:1179-85. 2006..Mutations at the corresponding residues in dopamine transporter also changed cocaine affinity. Our results suggest that the conserved serine residues in SERT contribute to high-affinity cocaine binding...
Dopamine transporter gene variant affecting expression in human brain is associated with bipolar disorderJulia K Pinsonneault
Department of Pharmacology, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210 1239, USA
Neuropsychopharmacology 36:1644-55. 2011..1, p = 0.03). This result was replicated in a second bipolar/control population (OR = 1.65, p = 0.01), supporting a critical role for DAT regulation in bipolar disorder...
A triple mutation in the second transmembrane domain of mouse dopamine transporter markedly decreases sensitivity to cocaine and methylphenidateRong Chen
Department of Pharmacology, The Ohio State University College of Medicine, Columbus, Ohio, USA
J Neurochem 94:352-9. 2005..Such functional but cocaine-insensitive DAT mutants can be used to generate a knock-in mouse line to study the role of DAT in cocaine addiction...
Molecular cloning and functional characterization of the dopamine transporter from Eloria noyesi, a caterpillar pest of cocaine-rich coca plantsRong Chen
Department of Pharmacology, College of Medicine and Public Health, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, United States
Gene 366:152-60. 2006....
