Aquaporin-4 and Parkinson's Disease. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciThe water-selective channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is implicated in water homeostasis and the functioning of the glymphatic system, which eliminates various metabolites from the brain tissue, including amyloidogenic proteins. Misfolding of the α-synuclein protein and its post-translational modifications play a crucial role in the development of Parkinson’s

An optimized immunohistochemistry technique improves NMO-IgG detection: study comparison with cell-based assays. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Cell-based assays (CBA) have increased the sensitivity of the neuromyelitis optica (NMO)-IgG/aquaporin-4-antibody detection compared to classical tissue-based indirect assays.

Pathogenic T cell responses against aquaporin 4 [PDF]
Acta Neuropathologica, 2011 Inflammatory lesions in the central nervous system of patients with neuromyelitis optica are characterized by infiltration of T cells and deposition of aquaporin-4-specific antibodies and complement on astrocytes at the glia limitans. Although the contribution of aquaporin-4-specific autoantibodies to the disease process has been recently elucidated, a

Aquaporin‐4 Overexpression in Rat ALS Model [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2008 AbstractOnset of motoneuron death characterizing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is closely linked to modified astrocytic and glial environments. Here, we show that in the spinal cord from transgenic rat overexpressing mutated human SOD1, aquaporin‐4 mRNA and protein are specifically overexpressed in the gray matter at end stage of disease ...

Significance of molecular biomarkers in the diagnosis of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder [PDF]
Medicinski PodmladakDiscovery of antibodies to aquaporin-4 channels as a laboratory or molecular biomarker for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder contributed to a better understanding of the etiopathogenesis, with a clear separation of the clinical, neuroradiological ...

Increased intestinal carbonate precipitate abundance in the sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) in response to ocean acidification [PDF]
, 2019 Marine fish contribute to the carbon cycle by producing mineralized intestinal precipitates generated as by-products of their osmoregulation. Here we aimed at characterizing the control of epithelial bicarbonate secretion and intestinal precipitate ...

Astrocytic Ion Dynamics: Implications for Potassium Buffering and Liquid Flow [PDF]
, 2019 We review modeling of astrocyte ion dynamics with a specific focus on the implications of so-called spatial potassium buffering, where excess potassium in the extracellular space (ECS) is transported away to prevent pathological neural spiking.

Orthogonal array formation by human aquaporin-4: Examination of neuromyelitis optica-associated aquaporin-4 polymorphisms [PDF]
Journal of Neuroimmunology, 2011 Pathogenic autoantibodies target aquaporin-4 (AQP4) water channels in individuals with neuromyelitis optica (NMO). Recently, allelic mutations were reported at residue 19 of AQP4 in three cases of NMO, and it was suggested that polymorphisms may influence disease by altering AQP4 supramolecular assembly into orthogonal arrays of particles (OAPs).
