However, the molecular underpinnings are still poorly defined. In our earlier studies, we found that ethanol exposure of postnatal day 7 (P7) mice significantly induced widespread neurodegeneration mediated via endocannabinoids (eCBs)\/cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1R). In the current study, we examined changes in the \u03b2-catenin protein levels that are involved in the regulation of neuronal function including neuronal death and survival. We found that moderate- and high-dose postnatal ethanol exposure (PEE) significantly reduced active-\u03b2-catenin (ABC) (non-phosphorylated form) protein levels in the hippocampus (HP) and neocortex (NC). In addition, we found that moderate- and high-dose PEE significantly increased the phosphorylated-\u03b2-catenin (p-\u03b2-catenin)\/ABC ratios in the HP and NC. Antagonism\/null mutation of CB1R before PEE to inhibit CC3 production mitigated the loss of ABC protein levels. Collectively, these findings demonstrated that the CB1R\/\u03b2-catenin signaling mechanism causes neurodegeneration in neonatal mouse brains following PEE.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/brainsci10050271","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,4]],"date-time":"2020-05-04T03:29:39Z","timestamp":1588562979000},"page":"271","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Postnatal Ethanol-Induced Neurodegeneration Involves CB1R-Mediated \u03b2-Catenin Degradation in Neonatal Mice"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Shivakumar","family":"Subbanna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Analytical Psychopharmacology, Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research, 140 Old Orangeburg Rd, Orangeburg, NY 10962, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4429-8078","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Balapal S.","family":"Basavarajappa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Analytical Psychopharmacology, Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research, 140 Old Orangeburg Rd, Orangeburg, NY 10962, USA"},{"name":"New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York, NY 10032, USA"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, College of Physicians &amp; Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, NY 10032, USA"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, New York University Langone Medical Center, New York, NY 10016, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"279","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1530-0277.1998.tb03651.x","article-title":"A review of the neurobehavioral deficits in children with fetal alcohol syndrome or prenatal exposure to alcohol","volume":"22","author":"Mattson","year":"1998","journal-title":"Alcohol.
