Role of epithelial sodium channels in the renal myogenic response?
Letters to the Editor will be published, if suitable, as space permits. They should not exceed 1000 words (typed double-spaced) in length and may be subject to editing or abridgment. The recent publication by Guan et al 1 and the accompanying editorial in a recent issue of Hypertension 2 both state that the findings of Guan et al 1 contradict the observations that we published previously concer...
متن کاملEpithelial sodium channels and hypertension.
Hypertension is a major risk factor for heart attacks, stroke, and kidney failure. It is estimated to cause as many as 25% of all deaths in the United States, particularly for African Americans, in whom the disease is both more common and more severe. Essential hypertension is a multifactorial disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Physiological studies have shown that t...
متن کاملEpithelial Sodium Channels in Pulmonary Epithelial Progenitor and Stem Cells
Regeneration of the epithelium of mammalian lungs is essential for restoring normal function following injury, and various cells and mechanisms contribute to this regeneration and repair. Club cells, bronchioalveolar stem cells (BASCs), and alveolar type II epithelial cells (ATII) are dominant stem/progenitor cells for maintaining epithelial turnover and repair. Epithelial Na(+) channels (ENaC)...
متن کاملIntrinsic gating mechanisms of epithelial sodium channels.
The hypothesis that there is a highly conserved, positively charged region distal to the second transmembrane domain in alpha-ENaC (epithelial sodium channel) that acts as a putative receptor site for the negatively charged COOH-terminal beta- and gamma-ENaC tails was tested in mutagenesis experiments. After expression in Xenopus oocytes, alpha-ENaC constructs in which positively charged argini...
متن کاملEpithelial Sodium and Chloride Channels and Asthma
OBJECTIVE To focus on the asthmatic pathogenesis and clinical manifestations related to epithelial sodium channel (ENaC)/chlorine ion channel. DATA SOURCES The data analyzed in this review were the English articles from 1980 to 2015 from journal databases, primarily PubMed and Google Scholar. The terms used in the literature search were: (1) ENaCs; cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductan...
