1.
Estrogen Receptor β Contributes to Both Hypertension and Hypothalamic Plasticity in a Mouse Model of Peri-Menopause
Milner T, Contoreggi N, Yu F, Johnson M, Wang G, Woods C, et al.
J Neurosci . 2021 May; 41(24):5190-5205. PMID: 33941651
Hypertension susceptibility in women increases at the transition to menopause, termed perimenopause, a state characterized by erratic estrogen fluctuation and extended hormone cycles. Elucidating the role of estrogen signaling in...

Sex and age differentially affect GABAergic neurons in the mouse prefrontal cortex and hippocampus following chronic intermittent hypoxia
Rubin B, Milner T, Pickel V, Coleman C, Marques-Lopes J, Van Kempen T, et al.
Exp Neurol . 2019 Dec; 325:113075. PMID: 31837319
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a chronic sleep disorder characterized by repetitive reduction or cessation of airflow during sleep, is widely prevalent and is associated with adverse neurocognitive sequelae including increased...

Plasma Membrane Affiliated AMPA GluA1 in Estrogen Receptor β-containing Paraventricular Hypothalamic Neurons Increases Following Hypertension in a Mouse Model of Post-menopause
Ovalles A, Contoreggi N, Marques-Lopes J, Van Kempen T, Iadecola C, Waters E, et al.
Neuroscience . 2019 Nov; 423:192-205. PMID: 31682817
Sex and ovarian function contribute to hypertension susceptibility, however, the mechanisms are not well understood. Prior studies show that estrogens and neurogenic factors, including hypothalamic glutamatergic NMDA receptor plasticity, play...

Extinction of Contextual Cocaine Memories Requires Ca1.2 within D1R-Expressing Cells and Recruits Hippocampal Ca1.2-Dependent Signaling Mechanisms
Burgdorf C, Schierberl K, Lee A, Fischer D, Van Kempen T, Mudragel V, et al.
J Neurosci . 2017 Nov; 37(49):11894-11911. PMID: 29089442
Exposure to cocaine-associated contextual cues contributes significantly to relapse. Extinction of these contextual associations, which involves a new form of learning, reduces cocaine-seeking behavior; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this...

Sex differences in subcellular distribution of delta opioid receptors in the rat hippocampus in response to acute and chronic stress
Mazid S, Hall B, Odell S, Stafford K, Dyer A, Van Kempen T, et al.
Neurobiol Stress . 2016 Dec; 5:37-53. PMID: 27981195
Drug addiction requires associative learning processes that critically involve hippocampal circuits, including the opioid system. We recently found that acute and chronic stress, important regulators of addictive processes, affect hippocampal...

Redistribution of NMDA Receptors in Estrogen-Receptor-β-Containing Paraventricular Hypothalamic Neurons following Slow-Pressor Angiotensin II Hypertension in Female Mice with Accelerated Ovarian Failure
Marques-Lopes J, Tesfaye E, Israilov S, Van Kempen T, Wang G, Glass M, et al.
Neuroendocrinology . 2016 Apr; 104(3):239-256. PMID: 27078860
Hypertension in male and aging female rodents is associated with glutamate-dependent plasticity in the hypothalamus, but existing models have failed to capture distinct transitional menopausal phases that could have a...

Enkephalin levels and the number of neuropeptide Y-containing interneurons in the hippocampus are decreased in female cannabinoid-receptor 1 knock-out mice
Rogers S, Van Kempen T, Pickel V, Milner T
Neurosci Lett . 2016 Mar; 620:97-103. PMID: 27012427
Drug addiction requires learning and memory processes that are facilitated by activation of cannabinoid-1 (CB1) and opioid receptors in the hippocampus. This involves activity-dependent synaptic plasticity that is partially regulated...

Alterations in the subcellular distribution of NADPH oxidase p47(phox) in hypothalamic paraventricular neurons following slow-pressor angiotensin II hypertension in female mice with accelerated ovarian failure
Van Kempen T, Narayan A, Waters E, Marques-Lopes J, Iadecola C, Glass M, et al.
J Comp Neurol . 2015 Dec; 524(11):2251-65. PMID: 26659944
At younger ages, women have a lower risk for hypertension than men, but this sexual dimorphism declines with the onset of menopause. These differences are paralleled in rodents following "slow-pressor"...

NMDA Receptor Plasticity in the Hypothalamic Paraventricular Nucleus Contributes to the Elevated Blood Pressure Produced by Angiotensin II
Glass M, Wang G, Coleman C, Chan J, Ogorodnik E, Van Kempen T, et al.
J Neurosci . 2015 Jul; 35(26):9558-67. PMID: 26134639
Hypertension induced by angiotensin II (Ang II) is associated with glutamate-dependent dysregulation of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN). Many forms of glutamate-dependent plasticity are mediated by NMDA receptor GluN1 subunit...
10.
Female protection from slow-pressor effects of angiotensin II involves prevention of ROS production independent of NMDA receptor trafficking in hypothalamic neurons expressing angiotensin 1A receptors
Marques-Lopes J, Lynch M, Van Kempen T, Waters E, Wang G, Iadecola C, et al.
Synapse . 2015 Jan; 69(3):148-65. PMID: 25559190
Renin–angiotensin system overactivity, upregulation of postsynaptic NMDA receptor function, and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) are hallmarks of angiotensin II (AngII)-induced hypertension, which...
