TMEM16A channel signalling microdomains in the regulation of vascular function
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of TMEM16A channel signalling microdomains. Calcium influx or calcium release from the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR) activates TMEM16A channels through interactions with regulatory proteins in vascular smooth muscle cells or endothelial cells. TMEM16A channel activation drives chloride efflux,

Molecules empowering animals to sense and respond to temperature in changing environments [PDF]
, 2016 Adapting behavior to thermal cues is essential for animal growth and survival. Indeed, each and every biological and biochemical process is profoundly affected by temperature and its extremes can cause irreversible damage.

Calcium‐activated chloride channels in pericytes and their role in regulating organ blood flow
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Pericytes are microvascular mural cells with diverse roles. Contractile pericytes directly regulate local perfusion, while non‐contractile pericytes coordinate upstream vascular contractility via propagating electrical signals.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend TMEM16A plays a pivotal role in setting the duration of the action potential plateau in human uterine smooth muscle. An increase in TMEM16A expression in labour underpins a lengthening of the plateau and this provides time for the contraction to become larger and longer, important for timely successful labour.

Synergistic action of dual IGF1/R and MEK inhibition sensitizes childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells to cytotoxic agents and involves downregulation of STAT6 and PDAP1. [PDF]
, 2018 Heterogeneous upregulation of multiple prosurvival pathways underlies resistance to damage-induced apoptosis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells despite normal p53 responses. Here, we show that the dual combination of insulin-like growth factor 1

TMEM16A(a)/anoctamin-1 Shares a Homodimeric Architecture with CLC Chloride Channels
Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, 2011 TMEM16A/anoctamin-1 has been identified as a protein with the classic properties of a Ca(2+)-activated chloride channel. Here, we used blue native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (BN-PAGE) and chemical cross-linking to assess the quaternary structure of the mouse TMEM16A(a) and TMEM16A(ac) splice variants as well as a genetically concatenated ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Immunohistochemistry, electrophysiology and pharmacology are useful tools for understanding protein and channel expression and physiological reactions of calcium‐activated chloride channels (CaCCs). Conventional transmission electron microscopy has provided useful 2‐D information on organelle arrangement, localization and ...

Both Ways at Once: Keeping Small Airways Clean. [PDF]
, 2017 The small airways of the lungs are under constant assault from the pathogens and debris in the air that they must conduct to alveoli. Although hygiene is of paramount importance for respiratory health, the underlying principles of airway clearance have ...
