Regulation of the volume and electrolyte composition of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is vital for brain development and function. The Na-K-Cl co-transporter NKCC1 in the choroid plexus (ChP) plays key roles in regulating CSF volume by co-transporting ...

AbstractObjectiveA pathological excitatory action of the major inhibitory neurotransmitter γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) has been observed in epilepsy. Blocking the Cl− importer NKCC1 with bumetanide is expected to reduce the neuronal intracellular Cl− concentration ([Cl−]i) and thereby attenuate the excitatory GABA response. Accordingly, several clinical

BackgroundThe balance between the activity of the Na+/K+/Cl− cotransporter (NKCC1) that introduces Cl− into the cell and the K+/Cl− cotransporter (KCC2) that transports Cl− outside the cell is critical in determining the inhibitory or excitatory outcome ...

An upregulation of the Na+-K+-2Cl− cotransporter NKCC1, the main chloride importer in mature neurons, can lead to depolarizing/excitatory responses mediated by GABA type A receptors (GABAARs) and, thus, to hyperactivity.

The NKCC1 ion transporter contributes to the pathophysiology of common neurological disorders, but its function in microglia, the main inflammatory cells of the brain, has remained unclear to date. Therefore, we generated a novel transgenic mouse line in

Structure and mechanism of the cation–chloride cotransporter NKCC1 [PDF]
Cation-chloride cotransporters (CCCs) mediate the electroneutral transport of chloride, potassium and/or sodium across the membrane. They have critical roles in regulating cell volume, controlling ion absorption and secretion across epithelia, and maintaining intracellular chloride homeostasis.

NKCC1 and KCC2: Structural insights into phospho-regulation
Inhibitory neurotransmission plays a fundamental role in the central nervous system, with about 30–50% of synaptic connections being inhibitory. The action of both inhibitory neurotransmitter, gamma-aminobutyric-acid (GABA) and glycine, mainly relies on the intracellular Cl– concentration in neurons.

Role of SPAK–NKCC1 signaling cascade in the choroid plexus blood–CSF barrier damage after stroke
Background The mechanisms underlying dysfunction of choroid plexus (ChP) blood–cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier and lymphocyte invasion in neuroinflammatory responses to stroke are not well understood.

Previous studies have confirmed the relationship between chloride homeostasis and pain. However, the role of sodium potassium chloride co-transporter isoform 1 (NKCC1) in dorsal horn and dorsal root ganglion neurons (DRGs) in spinal cord injury (SCI ...

The time-sensitive GABA shift from excitatory to inhibitory is critical in early neural circuits development and depends upon developmentally regulated expression of cation-chloride cotransporters NKCC1 and KCC2.
