Nav-igating through a complex landscape: SCN10A and cardiac conduction [PDF]
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have implicated SCN10A, which encodes a nociceptor-associated voltage-gated sodium channel subunit, as a modulator of cardiac conduction; however, this role has traditionally been ascribed to SCN5A, which is highly expressed in cardiac muscle. SCN10A is believed to affect cardiac conduction either directly through

Expression and Physiology of Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels in Developing Human Inner Ear
Sodium channel expression in inner ear afferents is essential for the transmission of vestibular and auditory information to the central nervous system.

Background Sodium channels located in the dorsal root ganglion, particularly Nav1.7 and Nav1.8, encoded by SCN9A and SCN10A, respectively, act as molecular gatekeepers for pain detection.

Studies have suggested a connection between inflammation and arrhythmogenesis of Brugada syndrome (BrS). However, experimental studies regarding the roles of inflammation in the arrhythmogenesis of BrS and its underlying mechanism are still lacking. This

Atropine is commonly used to counter the effects of the parasympathetic neurotransmitter acetylcholine on heart rate in clinical practice, such as in the perioperative period; however, individual differences in the response to atropine are huge.

Contrasting Nav1.8 Activity in Scn10a−/− Ventricular Myocytes and the Intact Heart
BackgroundGenome‐wide association studies have implicated variants in SCN10A, which encodes Nav1.8, as modulators of cardiac conduction. Follow‐up work has indicated the SCN10A sequence includes an intronic enhancer for SCN5A.

Carboplatin/taxane-induced gastrointestinal toxicity: a pharmacogenomics study on the SCOTROC1 trial [PDF]
Carboplatin/taxane combination is first-line therapy for ovarian cancer. However, patients can encounter treatment delays, impaired quality of life, even death because of chemotherapy-induced gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity.

A Computational Modeling Investigation into SCN10A Linked Brugada Syndrome [PDF]
A functional role for the sodium channel NaV1.8 in the heart is unclear. Mutations and polymorphisms in SCN10A, the gene encoding NaV1.8, have recently been linked to Brugada Syndrome, an inherited cardiac disease that causes sudden death. The Brugada Syndrome is detected on an ECG by the hallmark appearance of coved type ST-segment elevation (J-wave ...

Pain behavior in SCN9A (Nav1.7) and SCN10A (Nav1.8) mutant rodent models
The two voltage gated sodium channels Nav1.7 and Nav1.8 are expressed in the peripheral nervous system and involved in various pain conditions including inflammatory and neuropathic pain. Rodent models bearing deletions or mutations of the corresponding genes, Scn9a and Scn10a, were created in order to understand the role of these channels in the ...
