A CLCA regulatory protein present in the chemosensory cilia of olfactory sensory neurons induces a Ca2+-activated Cl− current when transfected into HEK293

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2017
Background CLCA is a family of metalloproteases that regulate Ca2+-activated Cl− fluxes in epithelial tissues. In HEK293 cells, CLCA1 promotes membrane expression of an endogenous Anoctamin 1 (ANO1, also termed TMEM16A)-dependent Ca2+-activated Cl ...

Salivary Extracellular Vesicles: Paradigm Shift in Liquid Biopsy Diagnostics

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs), lipid bilayer nanoparticles released by virtually all cells, serve as essential messengers for intercellular communication. Due to their involvement in several pathophysiological processes, EVs have recently gained considerable attention as potentially diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for various illnesses ...

TMEM16A-encoded anoctamin 1 inhibition contributes to chrysin-induced coronary relaxation

open access: yesBiomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2020
Chrysin, a natural flavonoid available in honey, propolis and medicinal plants, has been shown to be vasorelaxant in some vascular beds. Proper intake of an alimental vasodilator as a food additive may be a promising strategy for prevention and treatment of coronary spasmodic disorders.TMEM16A-encoded anoctamin 1 (ANO1), a Ca2+ activated Cl- channel ...

Anoctamin 1 dysregulation alters bronchial epithelial repair in cystic fibrosis

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2013
Cystic fibrosis (CF) airway epithelium is constantly subjected to injury events due to chronic infection and inflammation. Moreover, abnormalities in CF airway epithelium repair have been described and contribute to the lung function decline seen in CF patients. In the last past years, it has been proposed that anoctamin 1 (ANO1), a Ca(2+)-activated Cl(

Ca2+‐Activated Cl− Channels: Do Bestrophins and TMEM16A Interact?

open access: yesActa Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Ca2+‐activated Cl– conductances are present in many cell types and are important for regulating membrane potential as well as other cellular functions. TMEM16A is widely accepted as the principal molecular basis for Ca2+‐activated Cl– conductances, but also members of the bestrophin family may be important for some Ca2+‐activated Cl ...

HIF‐Regulated Pannexin‐1 Channel Drives Luminal ATP Accumulation in Kidney Cysts

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 10, 31 May 2026.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease causes progressive cyst enlargement in the kidneys, leading to hypoxia and induction of HIF‐1α. Our study identifies HIF‐1α‐dependent transcriptional upregulation of Pannexin1 (PANX1) in the apical membrane of cyst epithelial cells, promoting ATP release into the cyst lumen.

Bioengineered 3D hPSC‐Cholangiocyte Ducts With Physiological Signals for Biliary Disease Modeling

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 20, 27 May 2026.
Tian and colleagues generated a bioengineered bile duct from human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)‐derived intrahepatic cholangiocytes within a high‐throughput, 384‐well platform to systematically examine the influence of biliary physiological signals including fluid flow, stromal cells and bile acids, and models intrahepatic biliary disease progression ...

Molecular Mimicry Between Epstein‐Barr Virus and Human Herpesvirus‐6 Proteins and Central Nervous System Proteins: Implications for T and B Cell Immunogenicity in an In Silico Study

open access: yesImmunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) and human herpesvirus 6 (HHV‐6) are frequently linked to neuropsychiatric illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, depression, and chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis. These viruses may induce autoimmune reactions by molecular mimicry, leading to damage to self‐epitopes in the central nervous
