Title: The L-type Ca2+ channel blocker nifedipine inhibits mycelial growth, sporulation, and virulence of Phytophthora capsici

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The oomycete vegetable pathogen Phytophthora capsici causes significant losses of important vegetable crops worldwide. Calcium and other plant nutrients have been used in disease management of oomycete pathogens.

Neuroprotective effects of blockers for T-type calcium channels

Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2009
Cognitive and functional decline with age is correlated with deregulation of intracellular calcium, which can lead to neuronal death in the brain.

Calcium channel blockers and dementia [PDF]

British Journal of Pharmacology, 2013
Degenerative dementia is mainly caused by Alzheimer's disease and/or cerebrovascular abnormalities. Disturbance of the intracellular calcium homeostasis is central to the pathophysiology of neurodegeneration. In Alzheimer's disease, enhanced calcium load may be brought about by extracellular accumulation of amyloid‐β.

Investigation of the Effects of Calcıum Channel Blockers with Cigarette Smoke Exposure to Nerve Healing at Peripheral Nerve Injuries

Genel Tıp Dergisi, 2022
Objective: A study was planned to investigate the effect of exposure to cigarette smoke and the effects of calcium channel blockers in experimentally induced sciatic nerve injuries. Material-Method: The sciatic nerve was cut on one side in all the groups,

Dihydropyridine Calcium Channel Blocker Therapy and Risk of CKD Progression in Type 2 Diabetes Treated With Renin Angiotensin System Inhibitors and SGLT2 Inhibitors: A Real-World Retrospective Cohort Study

Kidney Medicine
Rationale & Objective: Optimal antihypertensive therapy with renoprotective effects is essential to slow diabetic kidney disease progression. We evaluated the impact of dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers on kidney outcomes in patients with type

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Calcium Channel Blockers

Medical Clinics of North America, 1988
The calcium channel blockers initially were approved for the treatment of classical and variant angina pectoris. Recent studies indicate that these agents also are useful in such diverse conditions as pulmonary and systemic hypertension, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, asthma, Raynaud's syndrome, esophageal spasm, myometrial hyperactivity ...

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.
