Here, we report the development of a whole sequence-humanized Gs-coupled DREADD, hM3Ds.
The Gs-coupled DREADD, rM3Ds, modulates excitability in neuron subsets that are sensitive to downstream effectors of Gs protein.
Designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drug (DREADDs) are engineered G protein-coupled receptors used as a chemogenetic or pharmacogenetic system. They enable selective remote control of neuronal activity through activation by otherwise inert drug-like small molecules.
We highlight the following technologies: ... designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs.
Chemogenetic tools allow the expression of designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs) specifically in microglia.
Unexpectedly, in response to the administration of deschloroclozapine, we observed inhibitory effects with pan-neuronal hM3D(Gq) stimulation.
We injected adeno-associated virus vectors expressing the excitatory DREADD hM3Dq into the unilateral substantia nigra (SN) in four marmosets.
The sequential activation of hM3D(Gq) and KORD DREADDs within the same neuronal population validated the role of the VTA-AcbSh circuit in reinforced responding for concurrently available natural and drug rewards.
