Astrocytic Connexin43 Channels Are Essential for Breathing Pattern Stabilization in the preBötzinger Complex

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
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]

open access: yes, 2015
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 ...

Investigations on contribution of glial inwardly-rectifying K+ current to membrane potential and ion flux: An experimental and theoretical study

open access: yesKaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2015
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]

open access: yes, 2017
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

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
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

Kir2.1 Channel Contributes to Hypokalemia-Induced Abnormal Pacemaker Activities of Cardiomyocytes With Inward Rectification

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Background: Hypokalemia induces abnormal spontaneous pacemaker activities of cardiomyocytes, which is strongly associated with fatal cardiac arrhythmias caused by hypokalemia. However, the mechanism remains unclear.

A Novel KCNJ2 Mutation Identified in an Autistic Proband Affects the Single Channel Properties of Kir2.1

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Inwardly rectifying potassium channels (Kir) have been historically associated to several cardiovascular disorders. In particular, loss-of-function mutations in the Kir2.1 channel have been reported in cases affected by Andersen-Tawil syndrome while gain-

Developmental maturation of astrocytes and pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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 ...
