Disparate effects of calcium channel blockers on pressure dependence of renin secretion and flow in the isolated perfused rat kidney [PDF]

, 1992
Using the model of isolated perfused rat kidneys this study was performed to investigate whether or not voltage-operated calcium channels are essentially involved in the pressure control of renin secretion from the kidneys. At a perfusion pressure of 100

The Calcium Channel Blocker Controversy.

Hypertension Research, 1996
A major controversy about the safety of calcium channel blockers (CCBs) has arisen since the publication of a case-control study showing that hypertensives who suffered an acute myocardial infarction (MI) were more likely than hypertensives who had not had an MI to be taking one of these (short-acting) agents than other antihypertensive agents.

Intoxication with massive doses of amlodipine and candesartan requiring venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Acute Medicine & Surgery, 2023
Background Calcium channel blockers and angiotensin II receptor blockers are commonly prescribed to treat hypertension. Massive overdoses can cause both distributive and cardiogenic shock because of their effects on vascular smooth muscles and severe ...

Ionomycin suppresses cancer cell growth by disrupting mitochondrial transcription

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, we identify a new function for the selective Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin, as an inhibitor of mitochondrial transcription. Both total and nascent RNA analyses revealed that ionomycin treatment reduces the transcription of mitochondrial genes.

The pharmacology of hSK1 Ca2+-activated K+ channels expressed in mammalian cell lines. [PDF]

, 2000
The pharmacology of hSK1, a small conductance calcium-activated potassium channel, was studied in mammalian cell lines (HEK293 and COS-7). In these cell types, hSK1 forms an apamin-sensitive channel with an IC(50) for apamin of 8 nM in HEK293 cells and ...

Peripheral Analgesic Effect of a Novel Curcuminoid Derivative: Possible Involvement of Peripheral Opioid Receptor and ATP-Sensitive Potassium Ion Channel

Pharmaceutics
Background/Objectives: The present study investigated the local analgesic effect of a novel synthetic cyclohexanone derivative, 2,6-bis-4-(hydroxyl-3-methoxybenzilidine)-cyclohexanone, or BHMC, in a mouse model of peripheral nociception.

KDAC6 alters cell morphology and motility through positive and negative modulation of F‐actin distribution

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KDAC6 has been associated with cell motility and actin structures, but specific domain contributions are not established. The two catalytic domains have differential effects on motility and F‐actin regulation, affecting cortical F‐actin density, motility, stress fibers, and cell spreading.

Targeting Ion Channels: Blockers Suppress Calcium Signals and Induce Cytotoxicity Across Medulloblastoma Cell Models

Bioengineering
Medulloblastoma (MB) groups 3 and 4 lack targeted therapies despite their dismal prognoses. Ion channels and pumps have been implicated in promoting MB metastasis and growth; however, their roles remain poorly understood. In this study, we repurposed FDA-

Twelve-Year Survival in a Patient With Systemic Sclerosis–Associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension on Nifedipine Monotherapy

Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Innovations, Quality & Outcomes, 2019
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a progressive vascular disease with a high mortality rate without proper therapy. Identification of the appropriate treatment for each patient is critical in regard to adverse effects, health care costs, ease of ...

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...
