Inhibitors of Mammalian Aquaporin Water Channels

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Aquaporins (AQPs) are water channel proteins that are essential to life, being expressed in all kingdoms. In humans, there are 13 AQPs, at least one of which is found in every organ system. The structural biology of the AQP family is well-established and

Carbonic anhydrase 12 mutation modulates membrane stability and volume regulation of aquaporin 5

open access: yesJournal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2019
Patients carrying the carbonic anhydrase12 E143K mutation showed the dry mouth phenotype. The mechanism underlying the modulation of aquaporin 5 and function in the salivary glands by carbonic anhydrase12 remains unknown. In this study, we identified the

Molecular Targets for Combined Therapeutic Strategies to Limit Glioblastoma Cell Migration and Invasion

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
The highly invasive nature of glioblastoma imposes poor prospects for patient survival. Molecular evidence indicates glioblastoma cells undergo an intriguing expansion of phenotypic properties to include neuron-like signaling using excitable membrane ion

Modified Kedem-Katchalsky equations for osmosis through nano-pore

open access: yes, 2016
This work presents a modified Kedem-Katchalsky equations for osmosis through nano-pore. osmotic reflection coefficient of a solute was found to be chiefly affected by the entrance of the pore while filtration reflection coefficient can be affected by ...

Multicentre comparison of a diagnostic assay: aquaporin-4 antibodies in neuromyelitis optica

open access: yesJournal of Neurology Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2016
Objective Antibodies to cell surface central nervous system proteins help to diagnose conditions which often respond to immunotherapies. The assessment of antibody assays needs to reflect their clinical utility.

Volume changes during active shape fluctuations in cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Cells modify their volume in response to changes in osmotic pressure but it is usually assumed that other active shape variations do not involve significant volume fluctuations.

Analysis of Soluble Interleukin‐2 Receptor as a Prognostic Biomarker in NMOSD and MOGAD

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Soluble interleukin‐2 receptor (sIL‐2R) is a biomarker for T cell activity. T cells are involved in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody‐associated disease (MOGAD) pathogenesis. However, sIL‐2R has so far not been evaluated in these conditions.
