Kainate Receptors Coexist in a Functional Complex with KCC2 and Regulate Chloride Homeostasis in Hippocampal Neurons

open access: yesCell Reports, 2014
KCC2 is the neuron-specific K+-Cl− cotransporter required for maintaining low intracellular Cl−, which is essential for fast inhibitory synaptic transmission in the mature CNS.

The Expanding Therapeutic Potential of Neuronal KCC2 [PDF]

open access: yesCells, 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

open access: yesIBRO 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).

KCC2 downregulation after sciatic nerve injury enhances motor function recovery

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Injury to mature neurons induces downregulated KCC2 expression and activity, resulting in elevated intracellular [Cl−] and depolarized GABAergic signaling.

NKCC1 and KCC2 prevent hyperexcitability in the mouse hippocampus [PDF]

open access: yesEpilepsy Research, 2008
During postnatal development of the central nervous system (CNS), the response of GABA(A) receptors to its agonist undergoes maturation from depolarizing to hyperpolarizing. This switch in polarity is due to the developmental decrease of the intracellular Cl concentration in neurons.

KCC2 receptor upregulation potentiates antinociceptive effect of GABAAR agonist on remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia

open access: yesMolecular Pain, 2022
GABAergic system disinhibition played an important role in the pathogenesis of remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia (RIH). K + -Cl - -cotransporter-2 (KCC2) has the potential to enhance the strength of GABAergic signaling function. However, few reports have

NKCC1 and KCC2: Structural insights into phospho-regulation

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Chloride Dysregulation through Downregulation of KCC2 Mediates Neuropathic Pain in Both Sexes

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: The behavioral features of neuropathic pain are not sexually dimorphic despite sex differences in the underlying neuroimmune signaling. This raises questions about whether neural processing is comparably altered. Here, we test whether the K+-Cl−

Developmental Regulation of KCC2 Phosphorylation Has Long-Term Impacts on Cognitive Function

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019
GABAA receptor-mediated currents shift from excitatory to inhibitory during postnatal brain development in rodents. A postnatal increase in KCC2 protein expression is considered to be the sole mechanism controlling the developmental onset of ...

Disruption of KCC2 in Parvalbumin-Positive Interneurons Is Associated With a Decreased Seizure Threshold and a Progressive Loss of Parvalbumin-Positive Interneurons

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
GABAA receptors are ligand-gated ion channels, which are predominantly permeable for chloride. The neuronal K-Cl cotransporter KCC2 lowers the intraneuronal chloride concentration and thus plays an important role for GABA signaling. KCC2 loss-of-function
