Intracellular anandamide trafficking as a promoter of neurogenesis acting through presynaptic CB1/FABP binding

The maturation and differentiation of neural stem cells via fatty-acid binding proteins (FABPs) signaling may require anandamide as a promoter of CB1-dependent neurogenesis. [1]

Hippocampal neurogenesis with synaptogenic promoter (DHA) is induced by intracellular and presynaptic CB1 receptor binding to anandamide. [2]

Notes

• The allosteric activation of PPAR-RXR heterodimer by anandamide (CB1/TRPV1 receptors) may facilitate hippocampal neurogenesis.
• Intracellular FABP5 expression may result in anandamide trafficking of heteromeric CB1 receptor.
• Adenosine antagonism may potentiate retrograde trafficking of anandamide via heteromization of CB1 receptor.
• Anandamide biosynthesis may enhance caffeine-induced diuresis. [3]
• Anandamide-oxytocin cross-talk (signal transduction) may modulate cellular stress response/vitamin D gene expression?
