Tools and Techniques for Wt1-Based Lineage Tracing. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The spatiotemporal expression pattern of Wt1 has been extensively studied in a number of animal models to establish its function and the developmental fate of the cells expressing this gene.

Novel volume‐electron microscopic ultrastructural analysis of gastrointestinal excitability associated with calcium–activated chloride channels

open access: yesThe 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 ...

TMEM16A/ANO1: Current Strategies and Novel Drug Approaches for Cystic Fibrosis

open access: yesCells, 2021
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common of rare hereditary diseases in Caucasians, and it is estimated to affect 75,000 patients globally. CF is a complex disease due to the multiplicity of mutations found in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator ...

Update on cellular expression and function of ANO1 channels in urethral smooth muscle

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Activation of ANO1 channels and resulting Cl− efflux are suggested to modulate urethral smooth muscle contractility by enhancing Ca2+ influx via voltage‐dependent Ca2+ entry and resulting contraction in urethral smooth muscle cells.

The Ca2+-activated chloride channel ANO1/TMEM16A: An emerging therapeutic target for epithelium-originated diseases?

open access: yesActa Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2021
Anoctamin 1 (ANO1) or TMEM16A gene encodes a member of Ca2+ activated Cl– channels (CaCCs) that are critical for physiological functions, such as epithelial secretion, smooth muscle contraction and sensory signal transduction. The attraction and interest

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 ...

TMEM16A(a)/anoctamin-1 Shares a Homodimeric Architecture with CLC Chloride Channels

open access: yesMolecular & 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 ...

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.

Chloride channels regulate differentiation and barrier functions of the mammalian airway. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The conducting airway forms a protective mucosal barrier and is the primary target of airway disorders. The molecular events required for the formation and function of the airway mucosal barrier, as well as the mechanisms by which barrier dysfunction ...
