Structure-function relationships of the disease-linked A218T oxytocin receptor variant

Magdalena Meyer et al.

Summary: This study reveals the cellular mechanism linking the oxytocin receptor gene mutation (OXTR rs4686302 SNP) with genetic dysregulations associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The mutation leads to increased OXTR protein stability, changes in Ca2+ dynamics, and reduced activation of the MAPK pathway. Whole-genome and RNA sequencing analysis showed numerous differentially regulated genes in the mutant cells, including 429 genes associated with ASD. Computational modeling suggested that the OXTR mutation affects downstream events by altering receptor activation and signaling, consistent with the in vitro results.

Adenosine, Adenosine Receptors and Neurohumoral Syncope: From Molecular Basis to Personalized Treatment

Regis Guieu et al.

Summary: Adenosine plays a role in neuro-humoral syncope through its interaction with different receptor subtypes. The modulation of ion channels, calcium channels, and cAMP production are involved in adenosine's effects on the cardiovascular system. Adenosine receptor antagonists may be useful in the treatment of syncope.

Discovery of novel dual adenosine A(1)/A(2A) receptor antagonists using deep learning, pharmacophore modeling and molecular docking

Mukuo Wang et al.

Summary: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. Dual adenosine A(1)/A(2A) receptor antagonists provide a possible effective therapy that can simultaneously solve motor symptoms and nonmotor symptoms in the medical treatment of PD. In this study, a multistage virtual screening approach involving deep learning, pharmacophore models, and molecular docking methods identified two 1,2,4-triazole derivatives as dual adenosine A(1) and A(2A) receptor antagonists. The results of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations showed strong binding interactions between the adenosine A(1)/A(2A) receptors and the compounds.
