Selective Deletion of NBCe1 in Reactive Astrocytes Attenuates Ischemic Stroke Brain Damage. [PDF]
Main Points NBCe1 is upregulated in reactive astrocytes following ischemic stroke. Deletion of astrocytic Nboe1 reduces stroke volume, preserves AQP4 polarization, reduces BBB permeability, and improves neurological function after ischemic stroke. ABSTRACT The electrogenic sodium bicarbonate transporter 1 (NBCe1/Slc4a4), predominantly expressed in ...

Integrated systems analysis reveals a molecular network underlying autism spectrum disorders. [PDF]
Autism is a complex disease whose etiology remains elusive. We integrated previously and newly generated data and developed a systems framework involving the interactome, gene expression and genome sequencing to identify a protein interaction module with

COS-1 cells with heterologeous expression of the Kir4.1 (KCNJ10) channel subunit, possess functional Kir4.1 channels and become capable to generating cytosolic Ca2+ transients, upon lowering of the extracellular K+ concentration to 2 mM or below. These Ca2+ transients are blocked by external Ba2+ (100 microM).

Lethal digenic mutations in the K+ channels Kir4.1 (KCNJ10) and SLACK (KCNT1) associated with severe-disabling seizures and neurodevelopmental delay [PDF]
A 2-yr-old boy presented profound developmental delay, failure to thrive, ataxia, hypotonia, and tonic-clonic seizures that caused the death of the patient. Targeted and whole exome sequencing revealed two heterozygous missense variants: a novel mutation in the KCNJ10 gene that encodes for the inward-rectifying K+ channel Kir4.1 and another previously

Potential and pitfalls in the genetic diagnosis of kidney diseases [PDF]
Next-generation sequencing has dramatically decreased the cost of gene sequencing, facilitating the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes at the same time; obtaining a genetic result for an individual patient has become much easier.

Regulation of Kir4.1 expression in astrocytes and astrocytic tumors: a role for interleukin-1 beta [PDF]
Objective Decreased expression of inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels in astrocytes and glioma cells may contribute to impaired K+ buffering and increased propensity for seizures. Here, we evaluated the potential effect of inflammatory molecules,

Intellectual Disability and Potassium Channelopathies: A Systematic Review
Intellectual disability (ID) manifests prior to adulthood as severe limitations to intellectual function and adaptive behavior. The role of potassium channelopathies in ID is poorly understood.

Heterologous expression of Kir channels offers a tool to modulate excitability of neurons which provide insight into Kir channel functions in general. Inwardly-rectifying K+ channels (Kir channels) are potential candidate proteins to hyperpolarize neuronal cell membranes.

Wwox deletion leads to reduced GABA-ergic inhibitory interneuron numbers and activation of microglia and astrocytes in mouse hippocampus [PDF]
The association of WW domain-containing oxidoreductase WWOX gene loss of function with central nervous system (CNS) related pathologies is well documented.
