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 dopaminergic neurons using retrograde endocannabinoid-like mobilization of fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) transport.
Neuroendopsychology of novel synaptic endocannabinoids:
GPCR-dependent receptor heteromerization is a potential antiglutamatergic pathway with neuroprotective properties in the treatment of drug-induced neuronal damage through activation of PPAR-gamma and modulation of retrograde (anandamide) transport.
In particular, the allosteric modulation of GPR40-GPR55 heteromer may cooperatively regulate neuronal differentiation and proliferation via GPCR receptor heteromerization of synaptamide.

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. [9] [10]
Endocannabinoid stimulation of FABPs synthesis: intracellular delivery of DHA to neurons may enhance neurogenesis and maintain brain homeostasis. [11]
Endocannabinoid-mediated regulation of homeostatic synaptic plasticity
Anandamide and DHA may exert a synergistic effect on lipid homeostasis, glutamatergic and monoaminergic transports, and synaptic plasticity through retrograde signaling. Thus the mobilization of N-acylethanolamines via FABPs transport may provide a persistent supply of arachidonic acid to neuronal stem/progenitor cells and mature neurons. [12][13]
Is synaptogenesis an evidence of homeostatic endocannabinoid transport ?
Homeostatic endocannabinoid transport is likely relevant to synaptogenesis and enhance heterosynaptic LTP and synaptic homeostasis through retrograde signaling in the hippocampus. [14]
Intracellular anandamide trafficking by GPR40 and GPR55 enhance BDNF expression and promote synaptic plasticity through endocannabinoid-mediated mobilization. [15]
Mitochondrial function is mediated by CB1 receptor activation and regulate neuronal energy metabolism
DHA supplementation may increase mitochondrial function and enhance CB1/CB2 dependent neuroprotection through retrograde signaling. Thus, mitochondrial respiration may increase by intracellular CB1 receptor activation. [16]
Role of estrogenic attenuation of CB1 mediated energy homeostasis
- Females don't react to cannabis like males as they express higher sensitivity to THC?
- The estrogen receptor (ER) activation modulates cannabinoid-induced energy homeostasis. [17][18]
- Estrogen signaling induces a rapid decrease of glutamatergic transmission at POMC synapses. [19]
Neuroprotective effects of endocannabinoids are mediated by presynaptic CB1 receptor activation
Endocannabinoid signaling may protect on-demand hippocampal neurons from neuroinflammation upon exposure to NMDA-induced excitotoxicity and neuronal damage. Hence, presynaptic CB1 receptor activation may yields activity-dependent neuroprotection against excitotoxic glutamate releases in the hippocampus. [20][21][22]
Notes:
- Extracellular ATP and adenosine-CB1 interactions:
- Inhibition of purinergic P2X7 receptor is neuroprotective in ALS model. [23]
- Heteromeric adenosine-CB1 receptor activation inhibit on-demand extracellular ATP releases.
- Transactivation of adenosine (A1) receptor is protecting neurons from NMDA-induced excitotoxicity.
- May adenosine-CB1 allosteric modulation facilitate pharmacological transactivation of P2X7/ATP receptor ?
Retrograde GPR40-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 stress-induced neuroinflammation of the hippocampus.
Receptor heteromerization of GPR40-GPR55 heteromers
Design of a novel pharmacological heteromer to induce on-demand neuroprotection through FABPs synthesis:
- PPAR-gamma activation increase retrograde signaling through allosteric modulation of GPR40 and GPR55.
- Cross-talk of GPR40-GPR55 heteromer potentiate intracellular CB1 affinity?
Notes:
Novel synaptic endocannabinoids compounds as selective PPAR-RXR agonist:
- Role of GPCR heteromerization in synaptic plasticity? (neural communication)
- Arachidonic acid metabolites are PPAR ligands and selectively activate FABPs. (Reference needed)
Identification of GPR40-GPR55 receptor heteromer:
- promoter of BDNF-mediated neurogenesis?
- Receptor heteromerization of GPR40-GPR55 selectively enhance neurotrophic 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.
- Tonic endocannabinoid signaling.
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 activation of retinoid X receptor (RXR/PPAR) heterodimer.[24]
Retinoic acid promotes endogenous CNS remyelination, axonal regeneration, and neuritogenesis. [25]
Retinoic acid receptor (RAR) activation induces transcriptional regulation of CB1 receptor expression by endocannabinoids. [26]
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 thrombin-induced microglial activation by CB2 receptor expression may promote PAR1 inhibition in the microglia. [27] [28]
PAR1 inhibitors are a novel therapeutic/antiplatelet platform which inhibits thrombin induced dysfunctions.
BDNF/TrkB signaling prevent glutamate-induced excitoxicity in the hippocampus
- Regulation of BDNF/TrkB signaling is mediated by adenosine activation: TrkB phosphorylation is dependent on ADK. [29] [30]
- Adenosine A(2A) receptor transactivation of BDNF/TrkB receptors: Implications for neuroprotection by ADK. [31]
Conclusion
Synaptamide regulates neural differentiation and proliferation in the hippocampus through endocannabinoid-mediated retrograde signaling. Functional 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 neurons against NMDA-induced excitotoxicity and dopamine hypersensitivity.
Activation of PPAR-RXR heterodimer by synaptamide, THC, and retinoic acid enhance adult hippocampal neurogenesis and regulate positive CNS remyelination. Allosteric modulation of GPR40 and GPR55 by endocannabinoids facilitate intracellular FABPs signaling and fatty acid homeostasis.
