Journal: Effect of the H-antihistamine clemastine on PACAP38 induced migraine. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 16, 2020 We found no difference in area under the curve 180 min for tryptase ( p = 0.525) or tumor necrosis factor-alpha ( p = 0.487) between clemastine and placebo pretreatment days. Conclusion H-antihistamine, clemastine, failed to prevent migraine or headache after pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide-38 infusion, thus making a role for histamine release or mast cell degranulation in pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide-38-induced migraine less likely.

Journal: Imaging correlates of visual function in multiple sclerosis. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 1, 2020 We assessed baseline data from fifty MS patients enrolled in ReBUILD, a prospective trial assessing the effect of a remyelinating drug (clemastine)...In those patients with an identified history of ON, however, putative myelin measures also showed correlation with visual performance. In the absence of clinically identifiable inflammatory episodes, residual disability correlates with neurodegeneration, whereas after an identifiable exacerbation, putative measures of myelin content are additionally informative.

Clinical, Journal: Gsta4 controls apoptosis of differentiating adult oligodendrocytes during homeostasis and remyelination via the mitochondria-associated Fas-Casp8-Bid-axis. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 9, 2020 In addition, we identify Gsta4 as a target of both dimethyl fumarate, an existing MS therapy, and clemastine fumarate, a candidate remyelinating agent in MS...The Gsta4 effect on apoptosis during adult OL differentiation was corroborated in vivo in both lysolecithin-induced demyelination and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis models, where Casp8 activity was reduced in Gsta4-overexpressing OLs. Our results identify Gsta4 as an intrinsic regulator of OL differentiation, survival and remyelination, as well as a potential target for future reparative MS therapies.

Journal: Myelin degeneration and diminished myelin renewal contribute to age-related deficits in memory. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 8, 2020 We show that myelination is highly active in young mice and greatly inhibited in aged mice, coinciding with spatial memory deficits. Inhibiting myelination by deletion of Olig2 in oligodendrocyte precursor cells impairs spatial memory in young mice, while enhancing myelination by deleting the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 1 in oligodendrocyte precursor cells, or promoting oligodendroglial differentiation and myelination via clemastine treatment, rescues spatial memory decline during aging.

Journal: Preservation of a remote fear memory requires new myelin formation. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 8, 2020 Finally, we demonstrate that pharmacological induction of new myelin formation with clemastine fumarate improves remote memory recall and promotes fear generalization. Thus, bidirectional manipulation of myelin plasticity functionally affects behavior and neurophysiology, which suggests that neural activity during fear learning instructs the formation of new myelin, which in turn supports the consolidation and/or retrieval of remote fear memories.

Journal: Plasmodium chaperonin TRiC/CCT identified as a target of the antihistamine clemastine using parallel chemoproteomic strategy. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 5, 2020 This clemastine-induced disruption of TRiC function is not observed in human host cells, demonstrating a species selectivity required for targeting an intracellular human pathogen. Our findings encourage larger efforts to apply chemoproteomic methods to assist in target identification of antimalarial drugs and highlight the potential to selectively target Plasmodium TRiC-mediated protein folding for malaria intervention.

Journal: Kappa opioid receptor and oligodendrocyte remyelination. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 29, 2020 Recent findings indicate that the kappa opioid receptor (KOR), a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), plays an important role in regulating oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination. In this chapter, we reviewed (1) current knowledge of the functional importance of remyelination in demyelination diseases; (2) the opioids that can alter oligodendroglial proliferation and differentiation; (3) the endogenous KOR signaling in regulating oligodendrocyte myelination.
