Mechanical stimulation controls osteoclast function through the regulation of Ca2+-activated Cl− channel Anoctamin 1 [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2023 Mechanical force loading is essential for maintaining bone homeostasis, and unloading exposure can lead to bone loss. Osteoclasts are the only bone resorbing cells and play a crucial role in bone remodeling. The molecular mechanisms underlying mechanical

Relationship between TMEM16A/anoctamin 1 and LRRC8A
Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2016 TMEM16A/anoctamin 1/ANO1 and VRAC/LRRC8 are independent chloride channels activated either by increase in intracellular Ca(2+) or cell swelling, respectively. In previous studies, we observed overlapping properties for both types of channels. (i) TMEM16A/ANO1 and LRRC8 are inhibited by identical compounds, (ii) the volume-regulated anion channel VRAC ...

Niclosamide, but not ivermectin, inhibits anoctamin 1 and 6 and attenuates inflammation of the respiratory tract. [PDF]
Pflugers Arch, 2023 AbstractInflammatory airway diseases like cystic fibrosis, asthma and COVID-19 are characterized by high levels of pulmonary cytokines. Two well-established antiparasitic drugs, niclosamide and ivermectin, are intensively discussed for the treatment of viral inflammatory airway infections.

Vitexicarpin suppresses colorectal and non-small cell lung cancer via selective inhibition of Anoctamin 1 [PDF]
Frontiers in PharmacologyColorectal cancer (CRC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain among the most challenging malignancies to treat due to therapy complexity, adverse events, and dose-limiting toxicities, which often result in treatment failure. NSCLC, in particular,

Anoctamin-1 is induced by TGF-β and contributes to lung myofibroblast differentiation
American Journal of Physiology - Lung Cellular and Molecular PhysiologyThis study describes a novel mechanism of differentiation of human lung fibroblasts (HLFs) to myofibroblasts: the key process in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) drives the expression of calcium-activated chloride channel anoctmin-1 (ANO1) leading to an increase in intracellular levels of chloride. The latter

Light conditions affect rhythmic expression of aquaporin 5 and anoctamin 1 in rat submandibular glands [PDF]
Heliyon, 2019 Circadian rhythms regulate various physiological functions and are, therefore, essential for health. Light helps regulate the master and peripheral clocks. The secretion rates of saliva and electrolytes follow a circadian rhythm as well.

Role of Anoctamin-1 and Bestrophin-1 in Spinal Nerve Ligation-Induced Neuropathic Pain in Rats [PDF]
Molecular Pain, 2015 Background Calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCCs) activation induces membrane depolarization by increasing chloride efflux in primary sensory neurons that can facilitate action potential generation. Previous studies suggest that CaCCs family members

Increased complexity of Tmem16a/Anoctamin 1 transcript alternative splicing [PDF]
BMC Molecular Biology, 2011 Abstract Background TMEM16A (Anoctamin 1; ANO1) is an eight transmembrane protein that functions as a calcium-activated chloride channel. TMEM16A in human exhibits alternatively spliced exons (6b, 13 and 15), which confer important roles in the regulation of channel function. Mouse Tmem16a is reported to consist of 25
