Layer-specific changes of KCC2 and NKCC1 in the mouse dentate gyrus after entorhinal denervation

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2023
The cation-chloride cotransporters KCC2 and NKCC1 regulate the intracellular Cl− concentration and cell volume of neurons and/or glia. The Cl− extruder KCC2 is expressed at higher levels than the Cl− transporter NKCC1 in mature compared to immature ...

Pharmacotherapeutic targeting of cation-chloride cotransporters in neonatal seizures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Seizures are a common manifestation of acute neurologic insults in neonates and are often resistant to the standard antiepileptic drugs that are efficacious in children and adults.

New opportunities for bioscaffold‐enabled spinal cord injury repair

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of bioscaffolds for spinal cord injury repair. We summarize the effects of bioscaffold properties on SCI repair, highlight different types of bioscaffolds, various fabrication strategies, and in vivo transformations for the clinical development of SCI‐repairing bioscaffolds.

Oligomerization of KCC2 Correlates with Development of Inhibitory Neurotransmission [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 2006
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.

Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) consists of prolonged, self‐sustaining seizures and is a common neurological emergency that causes respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Without prompt treatment, the seizures can become resistant to benzodiazepines, leading to the progressive evolution of established, refractory, and super‐refractory SE.

Calpain fosters the hyperexcitability of motoneurons after spinal cord injury and leads to spasticity

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Up-regulation of the persistent sodium current (INaP) and down-regulation of the potassium/chloride extruder KCC2 lead to spasticity after spinal cord injury (SCI). We here identified calpain as the driver of the up- and down-regulation of INaP and KCC2,

A Novel View on the Role of Intracellular Tails in Surface Delivery of the Potassium-Chloride Cotransporter KCC2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A plethora of neurological disorders are associated with alterations in the expression and localization of potassium-chloride cotransporter type 2 (KCC2), making KCC2 a critical player in neuronal function and an attractive target for therapeutic ...

Potassium–chloride cotransporter 2 activity dampens induced ictal‐like activity in neocortical slices containing the seizure propagation zone of temporal lobe epilepsy patients

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
The K⁺/Cl− cotransporter (KCC2) limits induced ictal‐like events and their spread in the supragranular layer of human neocortical slices from the seizure‐propagation zone of temporal lobe epilepsy patients. Cl⁻ extrusion is present in supragranular pyramidal neurons but limited under high somatic Cl⁻ load.

Spreading depolarization and its influence on epileptiform activity

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Spreading depolarization (SD) is a transient disruption of electrographic activity that slowly propagates through the gray matter by chemical contiguity, and it is characterized by a large depolarization of neurons and glial cells. SD, which is associated with massive changes in ion homeostasis, including extreme increases in [K+]o, was shown ...

Hyperpolarizing GABAergic transmission depends on KCC2 function and membrane potential [PDF]

open access: yesChannels, 2011
KCC2 comprises the major Cl(-) extruding mechanism in most adult neurons. Hyperpolarizing GABAergic transmission depends on KCC2 function. We recently demonstrated that glutamate reduces KCC2 function by a phosphorylation-dependent mechanism that leads to excitatory GABA responses. Here we investigated the methods by which to estimate changes in E(GABA)
