Abstract
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) plays a crucial role in the degradation of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), one of the major endocannabinoids in the brain. Inhibiting MAGL could lead to increased levels of 2-AG, which showed beneficial effects on pain management, anxiety, inflammation, and neuroprotection. In the current study, we report the characterization of an enantiomerically pure (R)-[11C]YH132 as a novel MAGL PET tracer. It demonstrates an improved pharmacokinetic profile compared to its racemate. High in vitro MAGL specificity of (R)-[11C]YH132 was confirmed by autoradiography studies using mouse and rat brain sections. In vivo, (R)-[11C]YH132 displayed a high brain penetration, and high specificity and selectivity toward MAGL by dynamic PET imaging using MAGL knockout and wild-type mice. Pretreatment with a MAGL drug candidate revealed a dose-dependent reduction of (R)-[11C]YH132 accumulation in WT mouse brains. This result validates its utility as a PET probe to assist drug development. Moreover, its potential application in neurodegenerative diseases was explored by in vitro autoradiography using brain sections from animal models of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is critically involved in the pathophysiology of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Over the past decade, researchers have extensively studied the neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of the ECS. Inhibiting the degradation of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) has emerged as a promising strategy to mitigate brain damage in MS. In this study, we investigated the effects of a novel reversible MAGL inhibitor (MAGLi 432) on C57/BL6 female mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model of MS. We assessed its implications on motor disability, neuroinflammation, and synaptic dysfunction. Systemic in vivo treatment with MAGLi 432 resulted in a less severe EAE disease, accompanied by increased 2-AG levels and decreased levels of arachidonic acid (AA) and prostaglandins (PGs) in the brain. Additionally, MAGLi 432 reduced both astrogliosis and microgliosis, as evidenced by decreased microglia/macrophage density and a less reactive morphology. Flow cytometry analysis further revealed fewer infiltrating CD45+ and CD3+ cells in the brains of MAGLi 432-treated EAE mice. Finally, MAGLi treatment counteracted the striatal synaptic hyperexcitability promoted by EAE neuroinflammation. In conclusion, MAGL inhibition significantly ameliorated EAE clinical disability and striatal inflammatory synaptopathy through potent anti-inflammatory effects. These findings provide new mechanistic insights into the neuroprotective role of the ECS during neuroinflammation and highlight the therapeutic potential of MAGLi-based drugs in mitigating MS-related inflammatory and neurodegenerative brain damage.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate (R)-[18F]YH134 as a novel PET tracer for imaging monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL). Considering the ubiquitous expression of MAGL throughout the whole body, the impact of various MAGL inhibitors on (R)-[18F]YH134 brain uptake and its application in brain-periphery crosstalk were explored. Methods: MAGL knockout and wild-type mice were used to evaluate (R)-[18F]YH134 in in vitro autoradiography and PET experiments. To explore the impact of peripheral MAGL occupancy on (R)-[18F]YH134 brain uptake, PET kinetics with an arterial input function were studied in male Wistar rats under baseline and blocking conditions. Results: In in vitro autoradiography, (R)-[18F]YH134 revealed a heterogeneous distribution pattern with high binding to MAGL-rich brain regions in wild-type mouse brain slices, whereas the radioactive signal was negligible in MAGL knockout mouse brain slices. The in vivo brain PET images of (R)-[18F]YH134 in wild-type and MAGL knockout mice demonstrated its high specificity and selectivity in mouse brain. A Logan plot with plasma input function was applied to estimate the distribution volume (V T) of (R)-[18F]YH134. V T was significantly reduced by a brain-penetrant MAGL inhibitor but was unchanged by a peripherally restricted MAGL inhibitor. The MAGL target occupancy in the periphery was estimated using (R)-[18F]YH134 PET imaging data from the brain. Conclusion: (R)-[18F]YH134 is a highly specific and selective PET tracer with favorable kinetic properties for imaging MAGL in rodent brain. Our results showed that blocking of the peripheral target influences brain uptake but not the V T of (R)-[18F]YH134. (R)-[18F]YH134 can be used for estimating the dose of MAGL inhibitor at half-maximal peripheral target occupancy.

Abstract
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) regulates endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and eicosanoid signalling. MAGL inhibition provides therapeutic opportunities but clinical potential is limited by central nervous system (CNS)-mediated side effects. Here, we report the discovery of LEI-515, a peripherally restricted, reversible MAGL inhibitor, using high throughput screening and a medicinal chemistry programme. LEI-515 increased 2-AG levels in peripheral organs, but not mouse brain. LEI-515 attenuated liver necrosis, oxidative stress and inflammation in a CCl4-induced acute liver injury model. LEI-515 suppressed chemotherapy-induced neuropathic nociception in mice without inducing cardinal signs of CB1 activation. Antinociceptive efficacy of LEI-515 was blocked by CB2, but not CB1, antagonists. The CB1 antagonist rimonabant precipitated signs of physical dependence in mice treated chronically with a global MAGL inhibitor (JZL184), and an orthosteric cannabinoid agonist (WIN55,212-2), but not with LEI-515. Our data support targeting peripheral MAGL as a promising therapeutic strategy for developing safe and effective anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents.

Abstract
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is a gatekeeper in regulating endocannabinoid signaling and has gained substantial attention as a therapeutic target for neurological disorders. We recently discovered a morpholin-3-one derivative as a novel scaffold for imaging MAGL via positron emission tomography (PET). However, its slow kinetics in vivo hampered the application. In this study, structural optimization was conducted and eleven novel MAGL inhibitors were designed and synthesized. Based on the results from MAGL inhibitory potency, in vitro metabolic stability and surface plasmon resonance assays, we identified compound 7 as a potential MAGL PET tracer candidate. [11C]7 was synthesized via direct 11CO2 fixation method and successfully mapped MAGL distribution patterns on rodent brains in in vitro autoradiography. PET studies in mice using [11C]7 demonstrated its improved kinetic profile compared to the lead structure. Its high specificity in vivo was proved by using MAGL KO mice. Although further studies confirmed that [11C]7 is a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate in mice, its low P-gp efflux ratio on cells transfected with human protein suggests that it should not be an issue for the clinical translation of [11C]7 as a novel reversible MAGL PET tracer in human subjects. Overall, [11C]7 ([11C]RO7284390) showed promising results warranting further clinical evaluation.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation and blood–brain barrier dysfunction are key pathological hallmarks of neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Major drivers of these pathologies include pro-inflammatory stimuli such as prostaglandins, which are produced in the central nervous system by the oxidation of arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the cyclooxygenases COX1 and COX2. Monoacylglycerol lipase hydrolyzes the endocannabinoid signaling lipid 2-arachidonyl glycerol, enhancing local pools of arachidonic acid in the brain and leading to cyclooxygenase-mediated prostaglandin production and neuroinflammation. Monoacylglycerol lipase inhibitors were recently shown to act as effective anti-inflammatory modulators, increasing 2-arachidonyl glycerol levels while reducing levels of arachidonic acid and prostaglandins, including PGE2 and PGD2. In this study, we characterized a novel, highly selective, potent and reversible monoacylglycerol lipase inhibitor (MAGLi 432) in a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide-induced blood–brain barrier permeability and in both human and mouse cells of the neurovascular unit: brain microvascular endothelial cells, pericytes and astrocytes. We confirmed the expression of monoacylglycerol lipase in specific neurovascular unit cells in vitro, with pericytes showing the highest expression level and activity. However, MAGLi 432 did not ameliorate lipopolysaccharide-induced blood–brain barrier permeability in vivo or reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the brain. Our data confirm monoacylglycerol lipase expression in mouse and human cells of the neurovascular unit and provide the basis for further cell-specific analysis of MAGLi 432 in the context of blood–brain barrier dysfunction caused by inflammatory insults.

Abstract
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is one of the key enzymes in the endocannabinoid system. Inhibition of MAGL has been proposed as an attractive approach for the treatment of various diseases. In this study, we designed and successfully synthesized two series of piperazinyl pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives as novel reversible MAGL inhibitors. (R)-[18F]13 was identified through the preliminary evaluation of two carbon-11-labeled racemic structures [11C]11 and [11C]16. In dynamic positron-emission tomography (PET) scans, (R)-[18F]13 showed a heterogeneous distribution and matched the MAGL expression pattern in the mouse brain. High brain uptake and brain-to-blood ratio were achieved by (R)-[18F]13 in comparison with previously reported reversible MAGL PET radiotracers. Target occupancy studies with a therapeutic MAGL inhibitor revealed a dose-dependent reduction of (R)-[18F]13 accumulation in the mouse brain. These findings indicate that (R)-[18F]13 ([18F]YH149) is a highly promising PET probe for visualizing MAGL non-invasively in vivo and holds great potential to support drug development.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can damage cerebral small vessels and cause neurological symptoms. Here we describe structural changes in cerebral small vessels of patients with COVID-19 and elucidate potential mechanisms underlying the vascular pathology. In brains of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-infected individuals and animal models, we found an increased number of empty basement membrane tubes, so-called string vessels representing remnants of lost capillaries. We obtained evidence that brain endothelial cells are infected and that the main protease of SARS-CoV-2 (Mpro) cleaves NEMO, the essential modulator of nuclear factor-κB. By ablating NEMO, Mpro induces the death of human brain endothelial cells and the occurrence of string vessels in mice. Deletion of receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK) 3, a mediator of regulated cell death, blocks the vessel rarefaction and disruption of the blood-brain barrier due to NEMO ablation. Importantly, a pharmacological inhibitor of RIPK signaling prevented the Mpro-induced microvascular pathology. Our data suggest RIPK as a potential therapeutic target to treat the neuropathology of COVID-19.

Abstract
Components of the proteostasis network malfunction in aging, and reduced protein quality control in neurons has been proposed to promote neurodegeneration. Here, we investigate the role of chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), a selective autophagy shown to degrade neurodegeneration-related proteins, in neuronal proteostasis. Using mouse models with systemic and neuronal-specific CMA blockage, we demonstrate that loss of neuronal CMA leads to altered neuronal function, selective changes in the neuronal metastable proteome, and proteotoxicity, all reminiscent of brain aging. Imposing CMA loss on a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has synergistic negative effects on the proteome at risk of aggregation, thus increasing neuronal disease vulnerability and accelerating disease progression. Conversely, chemical enhancement of CMA ameliorates pathology in two different AD experimental mouse models. We conclude that functional CMA is essential for neuronal proteostasis through the maintenance of a subset of the proteome with a higher risk of misfolding than the general proteome.

Abstract
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has become an empowering technology to profile the transcriptomes of individual cells on a large scale. Early analyses of differential expression have aimed at identifying differences between subpopulations to identify subpopulation markers. More generally, such methods compare expression levels across sets of cells, thus leading to cross-condition analyses. Given the emergence of replicated multi-condition scRNA-seq datasets, an area of increasing focus is making sample-level inferences, termed here as differential state analysis; however, it is not clear which statistical framework best handles this situation. Here, we surveyed methods to perform cross-condition differential state analyses, including cell-level mixed models and methods based on aggregated pseudobulk data. To evaluate method performance, we developed a flexible simulation that mimics multi-sample scRNA-seq data. We analyzed scRNA-seq data from mouse cortex cells to uncover subpopulation-specific responses to lipopolysaccharide treatment, and provide robust tools for multi-condition analysis within the muscat R package.

Abstract
The blood-brain barrier is a dynamic multicellular interface that regulates the transport of molecules between the blood circulation and the brain parenchyma. Proteins and peptides required for brain homeostasis cross the blood-brain barrier via transcellular transport, but the mechanisms that control this pathway are not well characterized. Here, we highlight recent studies on intracellular transport and transcytosis across the blood-brain barrier. Endothelial cells at the blood-brain barrier possess an intricate endosomal network that allows sorting to diverse cellular destinations. Internalization from the plasma membrane, endosomal sorting, and exocytosis all contribute to the regulation of transcytosis. Transmembrane receptors and blood-borne proteins utilize different pathways and mechanisms for transport across brain endothelial cells. Alterations to intracellular transport in brain endothelial cells during diseases of the central nervous system contribute to blood-brain barrier disruption and disease progression. Harnessing the intracellular sorting mechanisms at the blood-brain barrier can help improve delivery of biotherapeutics to the brain.

Abstract
Transcytosis across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) regulates key processes of the brain, but the intracellular sorting mechanisms that determine successful receptor-mediated transcytosis in brain endothelial cells (BECs) remain unidentified. Here, we used Transferrin receptor-based Brain Shuttle constructs to investigate intracellular transport in BECs, and we uncovered a pathway for the regulation of receptor-mediated transcytosis. By combining live-cell imaging and mathematical modeling in vitro with super-resolution microscopy of the BBB, we show that intracellular tubules promote transcytosis across the BBB. A monovalent construct (sFab) sorted for transcytosis was localized to intracellular tubules, whereas a bivalent construct (dFab) sorted for degradation formed clusters with impaired transport along tubules. Manipulating tubule biogenesis by overexpressing the small GTPase Rab17 increased dFab transport into tubules and induced its transcytosis in BECs. We propose that sorting tubules regulate transcytosis in BECs and may be a general mechanism for receptor-mediated transport across the BBB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY To test whether a direct-on-site microscopic examination of fresh, unstained puncture slides by the radiologist decreases the rate of false-negative cases on ultrasound-guided fine-needle cytology of parotid gland masses. PATIENTS Thirty parotid gland masses from 28 patients were punctured under ultrasound guidance. The same group was used as its control group. METHODS After one or two passes, the material was spread on slides and air-dried (control group, without microscopic examination). For the study group, it was thus analyzed unstained under the microscope. A sample was considered adequate if at least six clusters of parotid cells were found per slide on at least two slides. For the study group, new punctures were obtained and slides prepared until this condition was fulfilled. RESULTS Of the 30 evaluated masses, 100% benefited from a cytological diagnosis after microscopy. Twenty-four were adequate in the control group, while 30 were adequate in the study group. The maximum number of punctures to obtain an adequate sample was six. On-site direct microscopy significantly increased the number of adequate specimens by 20% (P=0.03, CI [1.63-20%]). CONCLUSION Direct and systematic examination of slides by a radiologist avoided the risk of false-negative results caused by having insufficient sample material.

Abstract
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) regulates differing needs of the various brain regions by controlling transport of blood-borne components from the neurovascular circulation into the brain parenchyma. The mechanisms underlying region-specific transport across the BBB are not completely understood. Previous work showed that pericytes are key regulators of BBB function. Here we investigated whether pericytes influence BBB permeability in a region-specific manner by analysing the regional permeability of the BBB in the pdgf-b ret/ret mouse model of pericyte depletion. We show that BBB permeability is heterogeneous in pdgf-b ret/ret mice, being significantly higher in the cortex, striatum and hippocampus compared to the interbrain and midbrain. However, we show that this regional heterogeneity in BBB permeability is not explained by local differences in pericyte coverage. Region-specific differences in permeability were not associated with disruption of tight junctions but may result from changes in transcytosis across brain endothelial cells. Our data show that certain brain regions are able to maintain low BBB permeability despite substantial pericyte loss and suggest that additional, locally-acting mechanisms may contribute to control of transport.

Abstract
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a dynamic multicellular interface that regulates the transport of molecules between the circulation and the brain. Transcytosis across the BBB regulates the delivery of hormones, metabolites, and therapeutic antibodies to the brain parenchyma. Here, we present a protocol that combines immunofluorescence of free-floating sections with laser scanning confocal microscopy and image analysis to visualize subcellular organelles within endothelial cells at the BBB. Combining this data-set with 3D image analysis software allows for the semi-automated segmentation and quantification of capillary volume and surface area, as well as the number and intensity of intracellular organelles at the BBB. The detection of mouse endogenous immunoglobulin (IgG) within intracellular vesicles and their quantification at the BBB is used to illustrate the method. This protocol can potentially be applied to the investigation of the mechanisms controlling BBB transcytosis of different molecules in vivo.

Abstract
The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) restricts access of large molecules to the brain. The low endocytic activity of brain endothelial cells (BECs) is believed to limit delivery of immunoglobulins (IgG) to the brain parenchyma. Here, we report that endogenous mouse IgG are localized within intracellular vesicles at steady state in BECs in vivo. Using high-resolution quantitative microscopy, we found a fraction of endocytosed IgG in lysosomes. We observed that loss of pericytes (key components of the BBB) in pdgf-bret/ret mice affects the intracellular distribution of endogenous mouse IgG in BECs. In these mice, endogenous IgG was not detected within lysosomes but instead accumulate at the basement membrane and brain parenchyma. Such IgG accumulation could be due to reduced lysosomal clearance and increased sorting to the abluminal membrane of BECs. Our results suggest that, in addition to low uptake from circulation, IgG lysosomal degradation may be a downstream mechanism by which BECs further restrict IgG access to the brain.

Abstract
Introduction The accumulation of insoluble proteins within neurons and glia cells is a pathological hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases. Abnormal aggregation of the microtubule-associated protein tau characterizes the neuropathology of tauopathies, such as Alzheimer disease (AD), corticobasal degeneration (CBD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). An impairment of the lysosomal degradation pathway called macroautophagy, hereafter referred to as autophagy, could contribute to the accumulation of aggregated proteins. The role of autophagy in neurodegeneration has been intensively studied in the context of AD but there are few studies in other tauopathies and it is not known if defects in autophagy is a general feature of tauopathies. In the present study, we analysed autophagic and lysosomal markers in human post-mortem brain samples from patients with early-onset familial AD (FAD) with the APP Swedish mutation (APPswe), CBD and PSP and control individuals. Results FAD, CBD and PSP patients displayed an increase in LC3-positive vesicles in frontal cortex, indicating an accumulation of autophagic vesicles. Moreover, using double-immunohistochemistry and in situ proximity ligation assay, we observed colocalization of hyperphosphorylated tau with the autophagy marker LC3 in FAD, CBD and PSP patients but not in control individuals. Increased levels of the lysosomal marker LAMP1 was detected in FAD and CBD, and in addition Cathepsin D was diffusely spread in the cytoplasm in all tauopathies suggesting an impaired lysosomal integrity. Conclusion Taken together, our results indicate an accumulation of autophagic and lysosomal markers in human brain tissue from patients with primary tauopathies (CBD and PSP) as well as FAD, suggesting a defect of the autophagosome-lysosome pathway that may contribute to the development of tau pathology.

Abstract
A survey was conducted following the publication of the Royal Decree of 21 January 2009 that implicates changes and imposes the editing of a Quality Manual for each Belgian pharmacy. The survey reveals that the earlier obligations are respected by the vast majority of survey participants, but the changes imposed by the recent Royal Decree are not yet applied everywhere. Most pharmacists interviewed are aware of the requirement to write a Quality Manual (mandatory as from 1 January 2012) and 47% of them sees an interest other than a legal obligation to write it. Despite the promotion by APB and professional associations, only two-thirds of the survey participants knows the site MyQualityAssistant but most of them know it was developed to help pharmacists compose their Quality Manual.

Abstract
Oligodendrocytes (OLs) are the glial cells of the central nervous system (CNS) classically known to be devoted to the formation of myelin sheaths around most axons of the vertebrate brain. We have addressed the role of these cells during cerebellar development, by ablating OLs in vivo. Previous analyses had indicated that OL ablation during the first six postnatal days results into a striking cerebellar phenotype, whose major features are a strong reduction of granule neurons and aberrant Purkinje cells development. These two cell types are highly interconnected during cerebellar development through the production of molecules that help their proliferation, differentiation and maintenance. In this article, we present data showing that OL ablation has major effects on the physiology of Purkinje (PC) and granule cells (GC). In particular, OL ablation results into a reduction of sonic hedgehog (Shh), Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), and Reelin (Rln) expression. These results indicate that absence of OLs profoundly alters the normal cerebellar developmental program.

Abstract
Efficient gene transfer is an important tool for the study of neuronal function and biology. This has proved difficult and inefficient with traditional transfection strategies, which can also be fairly toxic, whereas viral-mediated gene transfer, although highly efficient, is often time-consuming. The recently developed Amaxa Nucleofector technology, based on electroporation with preset parameters in a cell-type-specific solution, enables direct delivery of DNA, small interfering (si)RNA oligonucleotides and siRNA vectors into the cell nucleus. This strategy results in reproducible, rapid, and efficient transfection of a broad range of cells, including primary neurons. Nucleofected neurons survive for up to 3 weeks and remain functional. We are currently using this transfection method to examine the contribution of Rho GTPase signaling pathways in the establishment of neuronal polarity, neuronal migration, and neurite outgrowth. Here, we describe three protocols to efficiently nucleofect rat cerebellar granule, cortical, and hippocampal neurons.

Abstract
The role played by oligodendrocytes (OLs), the myelinating cells of the CNS, during brain development has not been fully explored. We have addressed this question by inducing a temporal and reversible ablation of OLs on postnatal CNS development. OL ablation in newborn mice leads to a profound alteration in the structure of the cerebellar cortex, which can be progressively rescued by newly generated cells, leading to a delayed myelination. Nevertheless, the temporal shift of the OL proliferation and myelinating program cannot completely compensate for developmental defects, resulting in impaired motor functions in the adult. Strikingly, we show that, despite these abnormalities, epigenetic factors, such as motor training, are able to fully rescue cerebellar-directed motor skills.

Abstract
Oligodendrocytes (OLs) are the glial cells of the central nervous system and are classically known to form myelin sheaths around most axons of higher vertebrates. Whether these cells might have other roles, in particular during development, has not been studied. Taking advantage of a transgenic mouse model in which OLs can be selectively killed in a desired time-frame, we have investigated the impact of OL ablation on cerebellar development. OL ablation was induced during the first 3 postnatal weeks, a time at which cerebellum development is ongoing. Strikingly, OL ablation triggers a profound perturbation of the known cerebellum developmental program, characterized by the disorganization of the cortical layers, abnormal foliation and a complete alteration of Purkinje cell dendritic arborization and axonal fasciculation. This phenotype is accompanied by decreased granule cell density, a disorganized Bergmann glia network and impaired migration of interneurons in the molecular layer. These results demonstrate a previously ignored role of OLs in the formation of the cerebellar cytoarchitecture.

Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMT), also called inflammatory pseudotumours, nodular lymphoid hyperplasia, plasma-cell granuloma and fibrous xanthoma, are rare soft-tissue lesions characterised by inflammatory cells and a fibrous stroma. Clinically and radiologically, they may look like malignant tumours. They rarely affect the central nervous system and are very rare in the spinal cord. We report an IMT of the spinal cord in a 22-year-old woman presenting with spinal cord compression and a cauda equina syndrome. MRI showed a lesion at T9 with extramedullary and intramedullary components giving low signal on T2-weighted images and enhancing homogeneously. Pial lesions on the lumbar enlargement and thoracic spinal were present 11 months after surgery, when the lesion recurred. We present the radiological, operative and pathological findings and review the literature.

Abstract
A novel compound, SB-272183 (5-Chloro-2, 3-dihydro-6-[4-methylpiperazin-1-yl]-1[4-pyridin-4-yl]napth-1-ylaminocarbonyl]-1H-indole), has been shown to have high affinity for human 5-HT(1A), 5-HT(1B) and 5-HT(1D) receptors with pK(i) values of 8.0, 8.1 and 8.7 respectively and is at least 30 fold selective over a range of other receptors. [(35)S]-GTPgammaS binding studies showed that SB-272183 acts as a partial agonist at human recombinant 5-HT(1A), 5-HT(1B) and 5-HT(1D) receptors with intrinsic activities of 0.4, 0.4 and 0.8 respectively, compared to 5-HT. SB-272183 inhibited 5-HT-induced stimulation of [(35)S]-GTPgammaS binding at human 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(1B) receptors to give pA(2) values of 8.2 and 8.5 respectively. However, from [(35)S]-GTPgammaS autoradiographic studies in rat and human dorsal raphe nucleus, SB-272183 did not display intrinsic activity up to 10 microM but did block 5-HT-induced stimulation of [(35)S]-GTPgammaS binding. From electrophysiological studies in rat raphe slices in vitro, SB-272183 did not effect cell firing rate up to 1 microM but was able to attenuate (+)8-OH-DPAT-induced inhibition of cell firing to give an apparent pK(b) of 7.1. SB-272183 potentiated electrically-stimulated [(3)H]-5-HT release from rat and guinea-pig cortical slices at 100 and 1000 nM, similar to results previously obtained with the 5-HT(1B) and 5-HT(1D) receptor antagonist, GR127935. Fast cyclic voltammetry studies in rat dorsal raphe nucleus showed that SB-272183 could block sumatriptan-induced inhibition of 5-HT efflux, with an apparent pK(b) of 7.2, but did not effect basal efflux up to 1 microM. These studies show that, in vitro, SB-272183 acts as an antagonist at native tissue 5-HT(1A), 5-HT(1B) and 5-HT(1D) receptors.

Abstract
1. It has been reported that radiolabelled agonist : antagonist binding affinity ratios can predict functional efficacy at several different receptors. This study investigates whether this prediction is true for recombinant and native tissue 5-HT(1A) receptors. 2. Saturation studies using [(3)H]-8-OH-DPAT and [(3)H]-MPPF revealed a single, high affinity site (K(D)approximately 1 nM) in HEK293 cells expressing human 5-HT(1A) receptors and rat cortex. In recombinant cells, [(3)H]-MPPF labelled 3 - 4 fold more sites than [(3)H]-8-OH-DPAT suggesting the presence of more than one affinity state of the receptor. [(3)H]-Spiperone labelled a single, lower affinity site in HEK293 cells expressing h5-HT(1A) receptors but did not bind to native tissue 5-HT(1A) receptors. These data suggest that, in transfected HEK293 cells, human 5-HT(1A) receptors exist in different affinity states but in native rat cortical tissue the majority of receptors appear to exist in the high agonist affinity state. 3. Receptor agonists inhibited [(3)H]-MPPF binding from recombinant 5-HT(1A) receptors in a biphasic manner, whereas antagonists and partial agonists gave monophasic inhibition curves. All compounds displaced [(3)H]-8-OH-DPAT and [(3)H]-spiperone binding in a monophasic manner. In rat cortex, all compounds displaced [(3)H]-MPPF and [(3)H]-8-OH-DPAT in a monophasic manner. 4. Functional evaluation of compounds, using [(35)S]-GTPgammaS binding, produced a range of intrinsic activities from full agonism, displayed by 5-HT and 5-CT to inverse agonism displayed by spiperone. 5. [(3)H]-8-OH-DPAT : [(3)H]-MPPF pK(i) difference correlated well with functional intrinsic activity (r=0.86) as did [(3)H]-8-OH-DPAT : [(3)H]-spiperone pK(i) difference with functional intrinsic activity (r=0.96). 6. Thus agonist : antagonist binding affinity differences may be used to predict functional efficacy at human 5-HT(1A) receptors expressed in HEK293 cells where both high and low agonist affinity states are present but not at native rat cortical 5-HT(1A) receptors in which only the high agonist affinity state was detectable.

Abstract
1. Human 5-HT1B (h5-HT1B) and human 5-HT1D (h5-HT1D) receptors show remarkably similar pharmacology with few compounds discriminating the receptors. We report here on a novel compound, SB-224289 (1'-Methyl-5-[[2'-methyl-4'-(5-methyl- 1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]carbonyl]-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro spiro [furo [2,3-f]indole-3,4'-piperidine] oxalate), which has high affinity for h5-HT1B receptors (pK1=8.16+/-0.06) and displays over 75 fold selectivity for the h5-HT1B receptor over all other 5-HT receptors including the h5-HT1D receptor and all other receptors tested thus far. 2. Functional activity of SB-224289 was measured in a [15S]GTPgammaS binding assay on recombinant h5-HT1B and h5-HT1D receptors expressed in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. SB-224289 displayed negative intrinsic activity at both receptors with higher potency at h5-HT1B receptors. SB-224289 caused a rightward shift of agonist concentration response curves consistent with competitive antagonism and generated affinities comparable with those obtained from competition radioligand receptor binding studies. 3. SB-224289 potentiated [3H]5-HT release from electrically stimulated guinea-pig cerebral cortical slices to the same extent as as the non-selective 5-HT1 antagonist methiothepin. SB-224289 also fully reversed the inhibitory effect of exogenously superfused 5-HT on electrically stimulated release. 4. Using SB-224289 as a tool compound, we confirm that in guinea-pig cerebral cortex the terminal 5-HT autoreceptor is of the 5-HT1B subtype.

Abstract
We report the case of a patient who, at 28-week amenorrhea, presented with spontaneous hemoperitoneum in a pre-eclamptic syndrome. When caesarean section was performed, abdominal exploration revealed a liver hematoma which caused the rupture of Glisson's capsule. The related literature is reviewed.
