ASIC1a inhibits cell pyroptosis induced by acid‐induced activation of rat hepatic stellate cells
The activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is associated with liver fibrosis, the pathological feature of most forms of chronic hepatic damage, and is accompanied by abnormal deposition of the extracellular matrix (ECM).

Functional expression of concatenated ASIC1a fusion proteins.
A: Representative recording of an ASIC1a current in Xenopus oocytes expressing a fusion protein made of three ASIC1a subunit proteins, each with intact C-termini, and linked in a head to tail fashion (3xFP).

Acid-Sensing Ion Channels in Glial Cells
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are proton-gated cation channels and key mediators of responses to neuronal injury. ASICs exhibit unique patterns of distribution in the brain, with high expression in neurons and low expression in glial cells.

Loss of ASIC1a prevents airway hyperreactivity.
A) Male mice (8–9 weeks-old) were sensitized by intraperitoneal injection of 10 μg of OVA (Sigma) mixed with 1 mg of alum in 0.9% saline on days 0 and 7. Control mice received saline with 1 mg of alum at day 0 and 7.

Coordinated Movements During ASIC1A Activity
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are H+-gated and Na+-conducting channels predominantly expressed in the nervous system. They are involved in H+ sensing in many physiological and pathological states such as ischemia and pain perception. The crystal structure of the chicken ASIC1 isoform has been revealed in the desensitized and the open state ...
