The KCl‐cotransporter KCC2 linked to epilepsy [PDF]
In the mature brain, the neurotransmitter GABA can cause a postsynaptic hyperpolarization via activation of chloride permeant GABAA receptor channels. This hyperpolarizing response critically depends on chloride extrusion via the KCl-cotransporter KCC2 1.

Oligomerization of KCC2 Correlates with Development of Inhibitory Neurotransmission [PDF]
The neuron-specific K+–Cl−cotransporter KCC2 extrudes Cl−and renders GABA and glycine action hyperpolarizing. Thus, it plays a pivotal role in neuronal inhibition. Development-dependent KCC2 activation is regulated at the transcriptional level and by unknown posttranslational mechanisms.

Enhanced synaptic activity and epileptiform events in the embryonic Kcc2 deficient hippocampus
The neuronal potassium-chloride co-transporter Kcc2 is thought to play an important role in the post natal excitatory to inhibitory switch of GABA actions in the rodent hippocampus.

Reciprocal Regulation of KCC2 Trafficking and Synaptic Activity [PDF]
The main inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the adult central nervous system (CNS) are type A γ-aminobutyric acid receptors (GABAARs) and glycine receptors (GlyRs). Synaptic responses mediated by GlyR and GABAAR display a hyperpolarizing shift during development.

Intracellular zinc inhibits KCC2 transporter activity [PDF]
We found that K(+)/Cl(-) co-transporter 2 (KCC2) activity, monitored with wide-field fluorescence, was inhibited by intracellular Zn(2+), a major component of neuronal injury. Zn(2+)-mediated KCC2 inhibition produced a depolarizing shift of GABA(A) reversal potentials in rat cortical neurons.

Summary: It is generally thought that hippocampal neurons of perinatal rats and mice lack transport-functional K-Cl cotransporter KCC2, and that Cl− regulation is dominated by Cl− uptake via the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter NKCC1. Here, we demonstrate a robust

K+/Cl− cotransporter 2 (KCC2) is a major Cl− extruder in mature neurons and is responsible for the establishment of low intracellular [Cl−], necessary for fast hyperpolarizing GABAA-receptor mediated synaptic inhibition.

Mechanisms of Inhibitory Synaptic Plasticity: The Regulation of KCC2 [PDF]
The mechanisms that regulate the activity of the neuron specific K+Cl- cotransporter (KCC2) remain poorly understood, despite the critical importance of this transporter in inhibitory synaptic transmission and plasticity.

KCC2 Regulates Neuronal Excitability and Hippocampal Activity via Interaction with Task-3 Channels
Summary: KCC2 regulates neuronal transmembrane chloride gradients and thereby controls GABA signaling in the brain. KCC2 downregulation is observed in numerous neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Approximately half of people infected with HIV (PWH) exhibit HIV-associated neuropathology (neuroHIV), even when receiving combined antiretroviral therapy. Opiate use is widespread in PWH and exacerbates neuroHIV.
