Radioiodinated Tyrosyl-Ouabain and Measurement of a Circulating Ouabain-like Compound [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Chemistry, 2001
Abstract Background: Assays for endogenous ouabain, a cardiac glycoside believed to be involved in blood pressure and volume regulation, are characterized by laboratory-specific plasma values that are measured by different assays. Because of this variability, our study focused on the development of a new 125I-labeled ouabain derivative ...

Ouabain affects cell migration via Na,K-ATPase-p130cas and via nucleus-centrosome association. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Na,K-ATPase is a membrane protein that catalyzes ATP to maintain transmembrane sodium and potassium gradients. In addition, Na,K-ATPase also acts as a signal-transducing receptor for cardiotonic steroids such as ouabain and activates a number of ...

Data-mining the FlyAtlas online resource to identify core functional motifs across transporting epithelia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
<p>Background Comparative analysis of tissue-specific transcriptomes is a powerful technique to uncover tissue functions. Our FlyAtlas.org provides authoritative gene expression levels for multiple tissues of Drosophila melanogaster (1).

Effects of Renal Denervation on Ouabain-Induced Hypertension in Rats

open access: yesInternational Journal of Hypertension
Background. Ouabain, a Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitor, is elevated in hypertensive patients. Evidence suggests ouabain contributes to hypertension mainly through activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS).

Antiviral activity of ouabain against a Brazilian Zika virus strain

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging arbovirus associated with neurological disorders. Currently, no specific vaccines or antivirals are available to treat the ZIKV infection.

Localization of Na pumps in the tracheal epithelium of the dog. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
Binding of [3H]ouabain by the dog's tracheal epithelium shows a nonspecific component depending linearly on ouabain concentration, and a specific saturable component with a Km of 10(-7) M.

Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.

Ouabain suppresses the migratory behavior of lung cancer cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The migratory capability of cancer cells is one of the most important hallmarks reflecting metastatic potential. Ouabain, an endogenous cardiac glycoside produced by the adrenal gland, has been previously reported to have anti-tumor activities; however ...

CaMKII-dependent regulation of cardiac Na(+) homeostasis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Na(+) homeostasis is a key regulator of cardiac excitation and contraction. The cardiac voltage-gated Na(+) channel, NaV1.5, critically controls cell excitability, and altered channel gating has been implicated in both inherited and acquired arrhythmias.

Embryonic cerebrospinal fluid pressure in fetal mice in utero: External factors pressurize the intraventricular space

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Previous experiments inducing leakage of embryonic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) suggest the necessity of intraventricular CSF pressure (PCSF) for brain morphogenesis. Nevertheless, how embryonic PCSF occurs is unclear, especially in utero. Results Using a Landis water manometer, we measured PCSF in fetal mice isolated from the amniotic
