N-/T-Type vs. L-Type Calcium Channel Blocker in Treating Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2023
Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors and calcium channel blockers (CCB) are often used together in chronic kidney disease (CKD). The PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in ...

Structure, gating, and pharmacology of human CaV3.3 channel

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
T-type calcium channels are implicated in many diseases. Here, multiple structures of CaV3.3 channel elucidate molecular mechanisms of T-type CaV channels activation at low voltage and interaction with different clinically used channel blockers.

Inactivation of CACNA1H induces cell apoptosis by initiating endoplasmic reticulum stress in glioma

open access: yesTranslational Neuroscience, 2023
Ca2+ channels are abnormally expressed in various tumor cells and are involved in the progression of human glioma. Here, we explored the role of a calcium channel, voltage-dependent, T-type, alpha 1H subunit (CACNA1H), which encodes T-type Ca2+ channel ...

Effect of Efonidipine on TGF-β1–Induced Cardiac Fibrosis Through Smad2-Dependent Pathway in Rat Cardiac Fibroblasts

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
.: Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) plays a critical role in progression of cardiac fibrosis, which may involve intracellular calcium change. We examined effects of efonidipine, a dual T-type and L-type calcium channel blocker (CCB), on TGF-β1 ...

Differential calcium signaling mediated by voltage-gated calcium channels in rat retinal ganglion cells and their unmyelinated axons. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Aberrant calcium regulation has been implicated as a causative factor in the degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in numerous injury models of optic neuropathy.

Neuroprotective effects of blockers for T-type calcium channels

open access: yesMolecular Neurodegeneration, 2009
Cognitive and functional decline with age is correlated with deregulation of intracellular calcium, which can lead to neuronal death in the brain.

Electrophysiological characterization of a Cav3.2 calcium channel missense variant associated with epilepsy and hearing loss

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2023
T-type calcium channelopathies encompass a group of human disorders either caused or exacerbated by mutations in the genes encoding different T-type calcium channels.

T-type calcium channel enhancer SAK3 produces anti-depressant-like effects by promoting adult hippocampal neurogenesis in olfactory bulbectomized mice

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2018
T-type calcium channels are involved in the pathophysiology of epilepsy, pain, and sleep. Recently, we developed a novel spiroimidazopyridine compound, SAK3 (ethyl 8′-methyl-2′,4-dioxo-2-(piperidin-1-yl)-2′H-spiro[cyclopentane-1,3′-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine]
