The role of KCC2 and NKCC1 in spinal cord injury: From physiology to pathology
The balance of ion concentrations inside and outside the cell is an essential homeostatic mechanism in neurons and serves as the basis for a variety of physiological activities.

MAL/VIP17, a new player in the regulation of NKCC2 in the kidney [PDF]
The renal-specific Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter (NKCC2) is the major salt transport pathway of the apical membrane of the mammalian thick ascending limb of Henle's loop.

Neonatal seizures and GABAergic drugs: Scylla and Charybdis?
Abstract Neonates have a high incidence of seizures that are frequently difficult to control with conventional first‐line anti‐seizure medications, which are gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonists. The reasons for this clinical problem are multifold but are likely related to the unique physiology of the immature nervous system. Specifically, the early

The Ion Transporter NKCC1 Links Cell Volume to Cell Mass Regulation by Suppressing mTORC1
Summary: mTORC1 regulates cellular growth and is activated by growth factors and by essential amino acids such as Leu. Leu enters cells via the Leu transporter LAT1-4F2hc (LAT1).

Decreased Immunoreactivities of the Chloride Transporters, KCC2 and NKCC1, in the Lateral Superior Olive Neurons of Kanamycin-treated Rats [PDF]
ObjectivesFrom our previous study about the weak expressions of potassium-chloride (KCC2) and sodium-potassium-2 chloride (NKCC1) co-transporters in the lateral superior olive (LSO) in circling mice, we hypothesized that partially damaged cochlea of ...

Developmental excitatory-to-inhibitory GABA-polarity switch is disrupted in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome: a potential target for clinical therapeutics. [PDF]
Individuals with 22q11.2 microdeletion syndrome (22q11.2 DS) show cognitive and behavioral dysfunctions, developmental delays in childhood and risk of developing schizophrenia and autism.

Abstract Background and Purpose Guanylate cyclase‐C (GC‐C) is the receptor for endogenous (uro)guanylin peptides, bacterial toxins and pharmacological analogues. Receptor activation leads to intestinal fluid loss, but also activates an antiproliferative pathway and is a promising target in colorectal cancer therapy.

Choroid plexus-targeted NKCC1 overexpression to treat post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus
Post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) refers to a life-threatening accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that occurs following intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). An incomplete understanding of this variably progressive condition has hampered the development of new therapies beyond serial neurosurgical interventions.

Immunohistochemical characterization of nodose cough receptor neurons projecting to the trachea of guinea pigs [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Cough in guinea pigs is mediated in part by capsaicin-insensitive low threshold mechanoreceptors (cough receptors). Functional studies suggest that cough receptors represent a homogeneous population of nodose ganglia-derived sensory neurons ...

Abstract figure legend Immunohistochemistry, electrophysiology and pharmacology are useful tools for understanding protein and channel expression and physiological reactions of calcium‐activated chloride channels (CaCCs). Conventional transmission electron microscopy has provided useful 2‐D information on organelle arrangement, localization and ...
