Cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that recruit β-arrestins upon activation by (partial) agonists. β-Arrestin recruitment is induced by phosphorylation of their C-terminal tails, and is associated with the termination of GPCR signaling; yet, it may also
A human CB2 recombinant baculovirus (AcNPV-hCB2) was generated by site-specific transposition and employed to express the human CB2 cannabinoid receptor. Northern analysis of total RNA from Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) insect cells infected with AcNPV-hCB2 revealed novel expression of a unique 2.3 kb
Aims: Cannabinoids are the chemical compounds with a high affinity for cannabinoid receptors affecting the central nervous system through the release of neurotransmitters. However, the current knowledge related to the role of such
Senescence of chondrocytes and cartilage degeneration induced by the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β is associated with the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. The cannabinoid receptor 1 has been involved in the pathological development of various diseases. Here, we evaluated whether activation
