Both pharmacological blockade and genetic knockdown of astrocytic connexin43 channels in the preBötzinger complex induce a high‐frequency breathing pattern, thereby enhancing respiratory motor output. This effect is mediated by astrocytic activation and subsequent ATP release, which activates P2Y1 receptors on somatostatin‐expressing preBötzinger ...

Caractérisation des canaux potassiques du tubule contourné proximal et des propriétés régulatrices des canaux chlorure de la membrane basolatérale des cellules intercalaires du tubule connecteur [PDF]
A 10 pS chloride channel at the basolateral side of connecting duct intercalated cells shares properties with the cloned ClC-K2 channel. Patch-clamp experiments show that its activity and the number of active channels increase with (i) membrane ...

Characterization of Ion Channels Involved in the Proliferative Response of Femoral Artery Smooth Muscle Cells [PDF]
31 páginas, 6 figuras, adicionales 6 figuras y 3 tablas.[Objective]: Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contribute significantly to occlusive vascular diseases by virtue of their ability to switch to a noncontractile, migratory, and proliferating ...

The inwardly rectifying K+ current [IK(IR)] allows large inward K+ currents at potentials negative to K+ equilibrium potential (EK) and it becomes small outward K+ currents at those positive to EK. How changes of such currents enriched in glial cells can

Control of Glutamate Transport by Extracellular Potassium: Basis for a Negative Feedback on Synaptic Transmission. [PDF]
Glutamate and K+, both released during neuronal firing, need to be tightly regulated to ensure accurate synaptic transmission. Extracellular glutamate and K+ ([K+]o) are rapidly taken up by glutamate transporters and K+-transporters or channels ...

Aloin Inhibits Müller Cells Swelling in a Rat Model of Thioacetamide-Induced Hepatic Retinopathy
Swelling of retinal Müller cells is implicated in retinal edema and neuronal degeneration. Müller cell swelling is observed in patients with liver failure and is referred to as hepatic retinopathy. In the present study, we evaluated the effects

Connexins and gap junctions in the inner ear - it's not just about K(+) recycling [PDF]
Normal development, function and repair of the sensory epithelia in the inner ear are all dependent on gap junctional intercellular communication.

Developmental maturation of astrocytes and pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders [PDF]
Recent studies have implicated potentially significant roles for astrocytes in the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders. Astrocytes undergo a dramatic maturation process following early differentiation from which typical morphology and important ...
