Introduction

The neuroprotective effects of the marijuana plant are still poorly understood. The aim of this study is to present a method for delivery of N-docosahexaenoyl ethanolamide (DHEA) to hippocampal progenitor cells using endocannabinoid-like mobilization of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Neuroendopsychology of atypical endocannabinoids:

Endocannabinoid-dependent receptor heteromerization may be a promising pharmacological target with neuroprotective properties in the treatment of neurological disorders through activation of PPARs and modulation of endocannabinoid transport. In particular, allosteric modulation of GPR40 and GPR55 may cooperatively regulate neuronal differentiation and proliferation via receptor heteromerization of synaptamide and astrocytes-expressed fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) synthesis.

Development of endocannabinoid-mobilized proneurogenic heteromers:

The suppression of microglial activation by endocannabinoid-like (N-acylethanolamides) phospholipids may increase adult hippocampal neurogenesis and promote mature BDNF (mBDNF) expression. Thus the objective of the GPR40-GPR55 heteromer is to enhance hippocampal metaplasticity and brain neuroprotection via endocannabinoid stimulation of endogenous BDNF in the hippocampus using synaptamide as the proneurogenic promoter of synaptic function.

Hypothesis

FABPs endogenous stimulation of GPR40 and GPR55 may exert neuroprotective effects on the hippocampus through selective binding of PPARs receptors. In particular, FABP5 allosteric communication with PPARs receptors may modulate lipid and glucose homeostasis. Moreover, synaptamide (DHEA) receptor heteromerization enhance endocannabinoid transport, degradation of anandamide to arachidonic acid, and may regulate neuronal differentiation and proliferation of neural stem cells through neuron-astrocytes and CB1 signaling.

Discussion

Endocannabinoid transport of proneurogenic compounds

DHA is an effective promoter of long-term potentiation (LTP) and new evidences suggest its effects on synaptic plasticity as a potent endocannabinoid-like transporter of synaptogenic amides. [11] [12]

Endocannabinoid stimulation of FABPs synthesis: intracellular delivery of DHA to neurons may enhance neurogenesis and maintain brain homeostasis. [9]

Endocannabinoid signaling and homeostatic synaptic plasticity

Anandamide and 2-AG may exert a synergistic effect on DHA regulation, glutamatergic transport, and synaptic plasticity through retrograde signaling. Thus the modulation of DHA with endogenous cannabinoids may provide a persistent supply of endocannabinoids to neuronal stem/progenitor cells. [13]

Is neurogenesis an evidence of homeostatic endocannabinoid transport ?

Homeostatic metaplasticity is perhaps a biological activity relevant to hippocampal plasticity and may facilitate heterosynaptic LTP and neurogenesis through retrograde endocannabinoid signaling and diffusion in the hippocampus. [3]

The evidences of GPR40-GPR55 expression in the hippocampus therefore identify DHA (synaptamide) as a proneurogenic fatty acid to mediate neuroprotection in neurodegenerative diseases. Hence, intracellular anandamide trafficking by GPR40 and GPR55 may enhance BDNF expression and promote synaptic plasticity through endocannabinoid-mediated mobilization.

Mitochondrial function

DHA supplementation may increase mitochondrial function and enhance CB1/CB2 dependent neuroprotection through endocannabinoids mobilization. Thus, mitochondrial respiration is increased by DHA.

Neuroprotective effects of endocannabinoids are mediated by CB1 receptor activation

Endocannabinoids may protect on-demand neurons from excitotoxicity and neuroinflammation upon exposure to NMDA-induced excitotoxicity. Hence, CB1 receptor activation yields activity-dependent neuroprotection against excitotoxic glutamate releases in the hippocampus. [14][15]

Notes:

  • Extracellular ATP and CB1 interactions: inhibition of P2X7 receptor is neuroprotective in ALS model. [16]
    • Hypothesis: mitochondrial CB1 receptor expression inhibit on-demand extracellular ATP releases by activation of adenosine (A1) receptor, thus protecting neurons from NMDA-induced excitotoxicity.

Intracellular anandamide/GPR55 signaling drives adult hippocampal neurogenesis

Endocannabinoids constitute a family of intracellular lipid signaling molecules with potent anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and anti-excitotoxic bioactivity to reduce microglial activation during neuroinflammation of the hippocampus.

Endocannabinoid-dependent GPR40-GPR55 heteromers

Design of a novel pharmacological target to induce adult hippocampal neurogenesis through endocannabinoid-mediated FABPs signaling: PPAR-gamma activation increase endocannabinoid-dependent synaptic function through allosteric modulation of GPR40 and GPR55.

Notes:

Novel endocannabinoids (synaptamide) compounds as selective PPARs agonist: Role of GPCR heteromization in synaptic plasticity?

Identification of GPR40-GPR55 receptor heteromer:

  • Is retinoic acid (RA)-induced synaptamide a proneurogenic promoter of synaptic function?
  • Receptor heteromization of GPR40 and GPR55 selectively enhance BDNF/CREB expression.

Effects of DHA on brain homeostasis and synaptic plasticity:

  • Evidences that intracellular FABPs signaling through endocannabinoid-mediated PPAR activation enhance proneurogenic functions of DHA.
  • DHA promotes membrane homeostasis and regulates LTP via PPAR-gamma activation.
  • DHA reduce microglial activation and neuroinflammation of the hippocampus.

Retinoids as regulators of neural differentiation

Astrocytes in regenerative medicine: directed differentiation of neural progenitor cells by retinoic acid (vitamin A) is induced by PPARs transactivation. Thus, retinoic acid and DHA may enhance neuron-astrocyte signaling through distribution of retinoid X receptor (RXR/PPAR) heterodimer.[17]

Retinoic acid promotes endogenous CNS remyelination, axonal regeneration, and neuritogenesis. PMID

Retinoic acid receptor (RAR) activation induces transcriptional regulation of CB1 receptor expression by endocannabinoids. PMID

CB2 receptors stimulation inhibit thrombin-induced neurovascular injury through suppression of microglial activation

Induction of CB2 receptor expression by 2-AG may mediate neuroprotection agaisnt neurovascular unit dysfunctions, including multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Hence, the suppression of microglial activation by 2-AG contributes to thrombin/PAR1 inhibition.

PAR1 inhibitors are a novel therapeutic/antiplatelet platform which inhibits thrombin induced dysfunctions. CB2 receptor inactivation of thrombin/PAR1 induce homeostatic plasticity in the hippocampus via retrograde signaling.

Conclusion

Synaptamide regulates neural differentiation and proliferation in the hippocampus through endocannabinoid-mediated retrograde signaling. Neurogenesis can be facilitated by intracellular delivery of DHA to neurons. Endocannabinoids are a emerging platform for programming of neural stem/progenitor cells in the hippocampus. The neuroprotective effects of endocannabinoids protects against excitotoxicity and lipid peroxidation.

Activation of PPAR-RXR heterodimer by synaptamide and retinoic acid enhance adult hippocampal neurogenesis. Allosteric modulation of GPR40 and GPR55 facilitate intracellular FABPs signaling.
