K+-Cl- cotransporter-2 KCC2 in chicken cardiomyocytes.
Using antibodies prepared against a unique region (exon 22-24) of rat K(+)-Cl(-) cotransporter-2 (KCC2), we confirmed that the ~140-kDa KCC2 protein is exclusively expressed in rat brain, but in chicken, we observed strong reactivity not only with the ~140-kDa KCC2 protein in brain but also a slightly larger ~145-kDa protein in heart. In silico analysis showed that while exon 22 of KCC2 is uniq...
متن کاملK/Cl cotransporter KCC2 membrane trafficking and functionality is regulated by transforming growth factor beta 2
Functional activation of the neuronal K-Cl-cotransporter KCC2 is a prerequisite for shifting GABAA responses from depolarizing to hyperpolarizing during development. Here we introduce transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGF-2) as a novel regulator of KCC2 membrane trafficking and functional activation. TGF-2 controls membrane trafficking, surface expression and activity of KCC2 in developing a...
متن کاملBDNF-induced TrkB activation down-regulates the K+–Cl− cotransporter KCC2 and impairs neuronal Cl− extrusion
Pathophysiological activity and various kinds of traumatic insults are known to have deleterious long-term effects on neuronal Cl- regulation, which can lead to a suppression of fast postsynaptic GABAergic responses. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) increases neuronal excitability through a conjunction of mechanisms that include regulation of the efficacy of GABAergic transmission. Here...
متن کاملLocalization and developmental expression patterns of the neuronal K-Cl cotransporter (KCC2) in the rat retina.
The processing of signals by integrative neurons in the retina and CNS relies strongly on inhibitory synaptic inputs, principally from GABAergic and glycinergic neurons that serve primarily to hyperpolarize postsynaptic neurons. Recent evidence indicates that the neuron-specific K-Cl cotransporter 2 (KCC2) is the major chloride extrusion system permitting hyperpolarizing inhibitory responses. I...
متن کاملSmall-molecule screen identifies inhibitors of the neuronal K-Cl cotransporter KCC2.
KCC2, a neuronal-specific K-Cl cotransporter, plays a major role in maintaining intracellular Cl(-) concentration in neurons below its electrochemical equilibrium potential, thus favoring robust GABA hyperpolarizing or inhibitory responses. The pharmacology of the K-Cl cotransporter is dominated by loop diuretics such as furosemide and bumetanide, molecules used in clinical medicine because the...
