Increased neuronal expression of the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter NKCC1 has been implicated in the generation of seizures and epilepsy. However, conclusions from studies on the NKCC1-specific inhibitor, bumetanide, are equivocal, which is a consequence of the ...

Aquaporin-4-dependent K(+) and water transport modeled in brain extracellular space following neuroexcitation. [PDF]
Potassium (K(+)) ions released into brain extracellular space (ECS) during neuroexcitation are efficiently taken up by astrocytes. Deletion of astrocyte water channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in mice alters neuroexcitation by reducing ECS [K(+)] accumulation ...

Multiple blood-brain barrier transport mechanisms limit bumetanide accumulation, and therapeutic potential, in the mammalian brain [PDF]
There is accumulating evidence that bumetanide, which has been used over decades as a potent loop diuretic, also exerts effects on brain disorders, including autism, neonatal seizures, and epilepsy, which are not related to its effects on the kidney but ...

Inhibition of Transglutaminase 2 Preserves Blood-Brain Barrier Integrity and Improves Neurological Outcomes After Experimental Traumatic Brain Injury in Mice. [PDF]
The article unraveled that inhibition or knockdown of TGM2 can restore blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability and ameliorate neurological deficits and cognitive dysfunction in a mouse model of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Mechanistically, TGM2 likely modulates the IL‐17 signaling pathway to regulate MMP9 expression, thereby affecting BBB permeability.

Murine MPDZ-linked hydrocephalus is caused by hyperpermeability of the choroid plexus. [PDF]
Though congenital hydrocephalus is heritable, it has been linked only to eight genes, one of which is MPDZ Humans and mice that carry a truncated version of MPDZ incur severe hydrocephalus resulting in acute morbidity and lethality.

The apical NKCC1 cotransporter debate
Choroid plexus epithelial cells (CPECs) secrete cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and regulate its electrolyte composition. CPECs express Na + /K + ATPase and Na + ‐K + ‐2Cl

The Na+K+2Cl− cotransporter-1 (Slc12a2, NKCC1) is widely distributed and involved in cell volume/ion regulation. Functional NKCC1 locates in the plasma membrane of all cells studied, particularly in the basolateral membrane of most polarized cells ...

Na + -K + -2Cl-cotransporter 1 (NKCC1) plays an important role in intracellular ionic homeostasis and cell volume regulation in the brain. Pathological activation of brain NKCC1 is associated with many brain disorders, including ischemic stroke ...

WNK1-OSR1 kinase-mediated phospho-activation of Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter facilitates glioma migration [PDF]
Background: The bumetanide (BMT)-sensitive Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter isoform 1 (NKCC1) maintains cell volume homeostasis by increasing intracellular K+ and Cl- content via regulatory volume increase (RVI).

Influx of Calcium through L-type Calcium Channels in Early Postnatal Regulation of Chloride Transporters in the Rat Hippocampus [PDF]
During the early postnatal period, GABAB receptor activation facilitates L-type calcium current in rat hippocampus. One developmental process that L-type current may regulate is the change in expression of the K+Cl− co-transporter (KCC2) and N+K+2Cl− co ...
