Loss of KCC2 in GABAergic Neurons Causes Seizures and an Imbalance of Cortical Interneurons
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 K-Cl transporter KCC2 is an important regulator of neuronal development and neuronal function at maturity. Through its canonical transporter role, KCC2 maintains inhibitory responses mediated by γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A receptors.

Cells, 2023 Na-K-2Cl cotransporter 1 (NKCC1) regulates chloride influx in neurons and thereby GABAA receptor activity in normal and pathological conditions. Here, we characterized in hippocampal neurons the membrane expression, distribution and dynamics of exogenous

The Expanding Therapeutic Potential of Neuronal KCC2 [PDF]
Cells, 2020 Dysfunctions in GABAergic inhibitory neural transmission occur in neuronal injuries and neurological disorders. The potassium–chloride cotransporter 2 (KCC2, SLC12A5) is a key modulator of inhibitory GABAergic inputs in healthy adult neurons, as its chloride (Cl−) extruding activity underlies the hyperpolarizing reversal potential for GABAA receptor Cl−

Furosemide prevents membrane KCC2 downregulation during convulsant stimulation in the hippocampus
IBRO Neuroscience Reports, 2022 In adults, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A receptor (GABAAR)-mediated inhibition depends on the maintenance of low intracellular chloride anion concentration through neuron-specific potassium-chloride cotransporter-2 (KCC2).

Proteomics: in pursuit of effective traumatic brain injury therapeutics [PDF]
, 2015 Effective traumatic brain injury (TBI) therapeutics remain stubbornly elusive. Efforts in the field have been challenged by the heterogeneity of clinical TBI, with greater complexity among underlying molecular phenotypes than initially conceived.

NKCC1 and KCC2: Structural insights into phospho-regulation
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Inhibitory neurotransmission plays a fundamental role in the central nervous system, with about 30–50% of synaptic connections being inhibitory. The action of both inhibitory neurotransmitter, gamma-aminobutyric-acid (GABA) and glycine, mainly relies on the intracellular Cl– concentration in neurons.

KCC2 drives chloride microdomain formation in dendritic blebbing
Cell Reports, 2022 Intracellular chloride ion concentration ([Cl-]i) homeostasis is critical for excitatory/inhibitory balance and volume regulation in neurons. We quantitatively map spatiotemporal dendritic [Cl-]i dynamics during N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) excitotoxicity to determine how Cl- changes contribute to localized dendritic swelling (blebbing) in stroke-like ...

A variant of KCC2 from patients with febrile seizures impairs neuronal Cl- extrusion and dendritic spine formation [PDF]
, 2014 Genetic variation in SLC12A5 which encodes KCC2, the neuron‐specific cation‐chloride cotransporter that is essential for hyperpolarizing GABAergic signaling and formation of cortical dendritic spines, has not been reported in human disease.

KCC2 downregulation after sciatic nerve injury enhances motor function recovery
Scientific Reports, 2023 Injury to mature neurons induces downregulated KCC2 expression and activity, resulting in elevated intracellular [Cl−] and depolarized GABAergic signaling.
