Role of Mitochondria-Associated Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane in Inflammation-Mediated Metabolic Diseases by Themis Thoudam, Jae-Han Jeon, Chae-Myeong Ha, In-Kyu Lee

“…A few decades ago, the discovery of mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane (MAM) was followed by the identification of its roles in regulating cellular homeostatic processes, ranging from cellular bioenergetics to apoptosis. MAM provides an excellent platform for numerous signaling pathways; among them, inflammatory signaling pathways associated with MAM play a critical role in cellular defense during pathogenic infections and metabolic disorders. …”

New Therapeutic Targets for Mood Disorders by Rodrigo Machado-Vieira, Giacomo Salvadore, Nancy DiazGranados, Lobna Ibrahim, David Latov, Cristina Wheeler-Castillo, Jacqueline Baumann, Ioline D. Henter, Carlos A. Zarate

“…These include: (1) glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) and protein kinase C (PKC), (2) the purinergic system, (3) histone deacetylases (HDACs), (4) the melatonergic system, (5) the tachykinin neuropeptides system, (6) the glutamatergic system, and (7) oxidative stress and bioenergetics. The paper reviews data on new compounds that have shown antimanic or antidepressant effects in subjects with mood disorders, or similar effects in preclinical animal models. …”
