PG - 624-633 LID - 10.2174/1871527321666220510141735 [doi] AB - It is believed that degenerative conditions that give rise to neurological diseases may share an abnormal influx of Ca(2+), mainly through glutamate receptors. Current research on the glutamatergic system indicates that the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) is not the only receptor permeable to Ca(2+). Under certain conditions, alpha -amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPARs) are able to rapidly and potently mediate a neurotoxic Ca(2+) influx. AMPARs are encoded by four genes designated GluR 1-4. The presence of the edited GluA2 subunit makes the heteromeric AMPAR impermeable to Ca(2+) (CI-AMPAR's). On the other hand, the lack of GluA2 or disruptions in its post-translational editing result in Ca(2+)-permeable AMPA receptors (CP-AMPARs). In addition to triggering behavioral changes, the increase in CP-AMPARs is documented in several neurodegenerative, neuroinflammatory and neurotoxic conditions, demonstrating that AMPAR changes may play a role in the emergence and evolution of pathological conditions of the central nervous system (CNS). Seeking to better understand how CP-AMPARs influence CNS neuropathology, and how it may serve as a pharmacological target for future molecules, in this article, we summarize and discuss studies investigating changes in the composition of AMPARs and their cellular and molecular effects, to improve the understanding of the therapeutic potential of the CP-AMPAR in neurodegenerative, neurotoxic and neuroinflammatory diseases.
