Data describing the effects of potassium channels modulators on outward currents measured in human lymphoma cell lines

Data in Brief, 2021
In the present work, applying the whole-cell patch-clamp technique in voltage clamp mode, we have investigated the effects of different drugs, such as riluzole, Psora-4 and Tram-34, on the potassium currents in four human lymphoma cell lines.

N-glycosylation-dependent control of functional expression of background potassium channels K2P3.1 and K2P9.1

, 2013
Two-pore domain potassium (K2P) channels play fundamental roles in cellular processes by enabling a constitutive leak of potassium from cells in which they are expressed, thus influencing cellular membrane potential and activity.

Potassium channels as drugs targets in therapy of cardiovascular diseases: 25 years later [PDF]

Sanamed, 2013
Potassium channels are the most variable ion channel group. They participate in numerous cardiovascular functions, for example regulation of vascular tone, maintenance of resting cardiac membrane potential and excitability of cardiac conduction tissue ...

Leucine‐rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) is a ganglioside‐binding protein

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neuronal hyperexcitability associated with a decrease/absence of the extracellular protein LGI1 has been suggested to be primarily due to the downregulation of Kv1 channel expression. The molecular mechanisms underlying this decrease have not yet been elucidated.

Unraveling the epigenetic code in cancer cell–tumor microenvironment crosstalk

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Epigenetic regulation is a key driver of cancer development and progression. Diverse epigenetic alterations in cancer cells and components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) orchestrate their communication through multiple mechanisms. We discuss how the epigenetic code coordinates bidirectional cancer cell–TME crosstalk to promote cancer progression ...

Endocytic Regulation of Voltage-Dependent Potassium Channels in the Heart

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012
Understanding the regulation of cardiac ion channels is critical for the prevention of arrhythmia caused by abnormal excitability. Ion channels can be regulated by a change in function (qualitative) and a change in number (quantitative).

Importin 7 mediates the nuclear import of HIV‐1 integrase via a specific interacting interface

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
HIV‐1 integrase enables viral DNA integration into the host genome. By binding to the core domain of the host protein Importin 7 via its C‐terminal domain, the integrase is transported across the nuclear membrane into the nucleus, where integration of the viral genome into host DNA takes place. This translocation is a critical step for subsequent viral

Role of potassium channels in female reproductive system [PDF]

Obstetrics & Gynecology Science, 2020
Potassium channels are widely expressed in most types of cells in living organisms and regulate the functions of a variety of organs, including kidneys, neurons, cardiovascular organs, and pancreas among others. However, the functional roles of potassium

Activation of TREK-1 and TREK-2 Two-Pore Domain Potassium Channels by the K_v4 Channel Modulator, NS5806. [PDF]

Pharmacol Res Perspect
NS5806 is a diaryl-urea small molecule developed for the treatment of pain and neurological disorders. A potent activator of Kv4.3 potassium channels, it is widely used to study Kv4 channel physiology in excitable cells, including trigeminal neurons ...

Delivery of DNA‐encoded vaccines and proteins in mice using cutaneous suction‐mediated transfection

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cutaneous suction‐mediated transfection in mice for delivery of DNA‐encoded vaccines and proteins. A critical limitation of DNA vaccines and other therapeutics is transfection in vivo to produce the encoded antigens or therapeutic proteins. Cutaneous suction‐based methods have demonstrated effectiveness in many animal models and have been successfully ...
