The Na-K-2Cl cotransporter NKCC1 is widely expressed in cells within and outside the brain. However, our understanding of its roles in brain functions throughout development, as well as in neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders, has been severely ...

NKCC1 cotransporters: keeping an ‘ion’ them
The sodium–potassium–chloride cotransporter NKCC1 has a track record of bringing the ions it is named after into the cell. But recently, scientists discovered that the cotransporter brings a substantial amount of water into the cell as well. In a recent issue of The Journal of Physiology, Hamann et al. (2010) analysed cell volumes of human pigmented

Upregulation of Spinal ASIC1 and NKCC1 Expression Contributes to Chronic Visceral Pain in Rats
Aims: To determine whether acid-sensing ion channel 1 (ASIC1)–sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter 1 (NKCC1) signaling pathway participates in chronic visceral pain of adult rats with neonatal maternal deprivation (NMD).Methods: Chronic visceral pain ...

NKCC1 and KCC2 prevent hyperexcitability in the mouse hippocampus [PDF]
During postnatal development of the central nervous system (CNS), the response of GABA(A) receptors to its agonist undergoes maturation from depolarizing to hyperpolarizing. This switch in polarity is due to the developmental decrease of the intracellular Cl concentration in neurons.

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a serious birth complication with severe long-term sequelae such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy and cognitive disabilities. Na+-K+-2Cl– cotransporters 1 (NKCC1) is dramatically upregulated after hypoxia-ischemia (HI),

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

Introduction: Na+-K+-2Cl− cotransporter isoform 1 (NKCC1) is important in regulating intracellular K+ and Cl− homeostasis and cell volume. In this study, we investigated a role of NKCC1 in regulating glioma K+ influx and proliferation in response to ...

A range of neurological pathologies may lead to secondary hydrocephalus. Treatment has largely been limited to surgical cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion, as specific and efficient pharmacological options are lacking, partly due to the elusive ...

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 ...
