Aquaporin 9 expression and its localization in normal skeletal myofiber

Journal of Molecular Histology, 2009
The examination was performed whether aquaporin (AQP) 9 is expressed in normal skeletal muscle at mRNA and protein levels. Gel electrophoresis of the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) product of total RNA samples of human normal muscles by oligonucleotide primers for human AQP9 showed a band of 221 basepairs, which corresponded ...

Aquaporin 9: Exacerbation of Vulnerable Carotid Plaque Formation

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry
ABSTRACT Aquaporin 9 (AQP9) expression is significantly elevated in vulnerable carotid plaque (VCP). Hence, we probed the mechanism of AQP9 in VCP formation. The VCP model was established in ApoE −/− C57BL/6 mice. Dataset GSE163154 was analyzed by R software.

[Expression and significance of aquaporin-9 in the liver].

Zhong nan da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Central South University. Medical sciences, 2015
Aquaporin-9 (AQP9) is a membrane-span transport protein expressed in the liver. It is located in the cytoplasm membrane of hepatic cells. In addition to water, it is also permeable to glycerol, urea, and other small solutes. Several evidences have revealed that AQP9 is involved in multiple physiological and pathological process of the liver. This paper

Functional and molecular characterization of the human neutral solute channel aquaporin-9

American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 1999
In metabolically active cells, the coordinated transport of water and solutes is important for maintaining osmotic homeostasis. We recently identified a broad selective-neutral solute channel, AQP9, from rat liver that allows the passage of a wide variety of water and neutral solutes (H. Tsukaguchi, C. Shayakul, U. V. Berger, B. Mackenzie, S.

Distribution of aquaporin-9 in the rat: an immunohistochemical study.

International journal of tissue reactions, 2005
The aim of this study was to identify the distribution of aquaporin-9 by immunohistochemistry in rat tissues using specific antipeptide antiserum which we recently produced. Anti-aquaporin-9 antibody was raised in New Zealand white rabbits immunized with a conjugate of synthetic aquaporin-9 peptide with bovine serum albumin.

Expression of aquaporin-9 immunoreactivity by catecholaminergic amacrine cells in the rat retina

Neuroscience Letters, 2006
Aquaporins are involved in the maintenance of ionic and osmotic balance in the central nervous system and in the eye. Whereas the expression of aquaporin-9 immunoreactivity in the brain has been described for catecholaminergic neurons and glial cells, the expression of aquaporin-9 in the neural retina is unclear.

Transcriptional Regulation of Aquaporins in the Ischemic Rat Retina: Upregulation of Aquaporin-9

Current Eye Research, 2012
To determine the transcriptional regulation of retinal aquaporins (AQPs) in rat models of transient and permanent retinal ischemia, and to prove the effects of chemical hypoxia, oxidative stress, glucose, and osmotic alterations on the expression of AQP9 in cultured human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells.Transient retinal ischemia-reperfusion in ...

Induction of brain aquaporin 9 (AQP9) in catecholaminergic neurons in diabetic rats

Brain Research, 2008
Aquaporin 9 facilitates the diffusion of water but also glycerol and monocarboxylates, known as brain energy substrates. AQP9 was recently observed in catecholaminergic neurons that are implicated in energy homeostasis and also possibly in neuroendocrine effects of diabetes. Recently it has been observed that the level of AQP9 expression in hepatocytes

Aquaporin-9 and endometriomas: pathophysiological insights from a case–control study

Biomarkers
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent condition characterized by ectopic implantation of endometrial tissue; molecular mechanisms underlying lesion persistence remain incompletely understood. Aquaporins (AQPs), transmembrane water channels involved in migration and proliferation, have been implicated in endometriosis pathophysiology, although data on ...

Expression of aquaporin 9 along the male reproductive tract

Biology of reproduction, 2001
Fluid movement across epithelia lining portions of the male reproductive tract is important for modulating the luminal environment in which sperm mature and reside, and for increasing sperm concentration. Some regions of the male reproductive tract express aquaporin (AQP) 1 and/or AQP2, but these transmembrane water channels are not detectable in the ...
