Gain-of-function defects of astrocytic Kir4.1 channels in children with autism spectrum disorders and epilepsy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Dysfunction of the inwardly-rectifying potassium channels Kir4.1 (KCNJ10) represents a pathogenic mechanism contributing to Autism-Epilepsy comorbidity.

Deletion of the Ca2+-activated potassium (BK) alpha-subunit but not the BK-beta-1-subunit leads to progressive hearing loss [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The large conductance voltage- and Ca2+-activated potassium (BK) channel has been suggested to play an important role in the signal transduction process of cochlear inner hair cells.

Label‐Free Molecular Characterization of Protein Aggregates in Differentiated Astrocytes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Mid‐infrared photothermal microscopy enables label‐free structural, molecular, and functional imaging of protein aggregates in astrocyte cells. The processes of astrocytes differentiated on a nanomaterial interface are characterized by α‐helical signatures combined with enhanced interfacial thermal resistance properties, while the cell soma of non ...

Potassium Channel KIR4.1 as an Immune Target in Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2012
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Many findings suggest that the disease has an autoimmune pathogenesis; the target of the immune response is not yet known.We screened serum IgG from persons with multiple sclerosis to identify antibodies that are capable of binding to brain tissue and ...

Perisynaptic astrocytes as a potential target for novel antidepressant drugs

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2021
Emerging evidence suggests that dysfunctions in glutamatergic signaling are associated with the pathophysiology of depression. Several molecules that act on glutamate binding sites, so-called glutamatergic modulators, are rapid-acting antidepressants ...

Peripheral blood biomarkers in multiple sclerosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Multiple sclerosis is the most common autoimmune disorder affecting the central nervous system. The heteroge-neity of pathophysiological processes in MS contributes to the highly variable course of the disease and unpre-dictable response to therapies ...

Amelioration of Post‐Stroke Edema and Microcirculatory Dysfunction via Targeted AQP4 Inhibition While Preserving the Glymphatic System

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Compared to untargeted therapy, the targeted nanocarrier, Angiopep‐2‐conjugated Lipid Nanoparticle (A‐LNP) loaded with TGN‐020 (TGN), selectively accumulated in stroke‐injured regions. It suppressed local aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) overexpression, thereby alleviating cerebral edema and hypoperfusion while preserving global glymphatic clearance.

Molecular Basis of Decreased Kir4.1 Function in SeSAME/EAST Syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2010
SeSAME/EAST syndrome is a channelopathy consisting of a hypokalemic, hypomagnesemic, metabolic alkalosis associated with seizures, sensorineural deafness, ataxia, and developmental abnormalities. This disease links to autosomal recessive mutations in KCNJ10, which encodes the Kir4.1 potassium channel, but the functional consequences of these mutations ...

Development of the stria vascularis and potassium regulation in the human fetal cochlea : insights into hereditary sensorineural hearing loss [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is one of the most common congenital disorders in humans, afflicting one in every thousand newborns. The majority is of heritable origin and can be divided in syndromic and nonsyndromic forms. Knowledge of the expression
