Anoctamin-1 is induced by TGF-β and contributes to lung myofibroblast differentiation.

Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol
This 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

ER localized bestrophin1 activates Ca2+ dependent ion channels TMEM16A and SK4 [PDF]

, 2009
Bestrophins form Ca2+ activated Cl- channels and regulate intercellular Ca2+ signaling1. We demonstrate that bestrophin 1 is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it physically interacts with stromal interacting molecule 1 (Stim1), the ER ...

TMEM16B regulates anxiety-related behavior and GABAergic neuronal signaling in the central lateral amygdala. [PDF]

, 2019
TMEM16B (ANO2) is the Ca2+-activated chloride channel expressed in multiple brain regions, including the amygdala. Here we report that Ano2 knockout mice exhibit impaired anxiety-related behaviors and context-independent fear memory, thus implicating ...

Control of Ion Transport by Tmem16a Expressed in Murine Intestine

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Cl– secretion by the human and murine intestinal epithelium occurs through the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (cftr). However, the Ca2+ activated Cl– channel Tmem16a was shown to contribute to Cl– secretion, mainly, but not ...

Direct repression of anoctamin 1 (ANO1) gene transcription by Gli proteins. [PDF]

FASEB J, 2019
ABSTRACT The Ca 2+ ‐activated Cl − channel, anoctamin 1 (Ano1, also known as transmembrane protein 16A) contributes to intestinal pacemaking, fluid secretion, cellular excitability, and tissue development. The human

Cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying muscular dystrophy [PDF]

, 2014
The muscular dystrophies are a group of heterogeneous genetic diseases characterized by progressive degeneration and weakness of skeletal muscle. Since the discovery of the first muscular dystrophy gene encoding dystrophin, a large number of genes have ...

Effects of protein diet on expression of Anoctamin1 of Cajal cell in the nervous plexus of the stomach in male mice

Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association
Objective: To determine the association between a protein-rich diet and the expression of anoctamin 1 in Interstitial cells of Cajal within the muscle layer of the stomach wall in male mice.

TRPC1 regulates calcium-activated chloride channels in salivary gland cells [PDF]

, 2015
Calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC) plays an important role in modulating epithelial secretion. It has been suggested that in salivary tissues, sustained fluid secretion is dependent on Ca2+ influx that activates ion channels such as CaCC to ...

Ca2+-activated Cl− channel TMEM16A/ANO1 identified in zebrafish skeletal muscle is crucial for action potential acceleration

Nature Communications, 2019
The Ca2+-activated Cl- channel TMEM16A/Anoctamin 1 (ANO1) mediates secretion and intestinal motility in gastrointestinal epithelia and smooth muscle cells.
