Varicosity-Schwann cell interactions mediated by ATP in the mouse vas deferens.
Schwann cells, from a variety of sources, are known to possess P2Y purinergic metabotropic receptors. However, it is not known if Schwann cells associated with autonomic nerve terminals possess such receptors and if so whether these receptors are activated by the endogenous release of ATP from the nerve terminals. We show that such Schwann cells in the vas deferens give evoked calcium transient...
متن کاملCFTR Mutations in Congenital Absence of Vas Deferens
A qualitative diagnosis of infertility requires attention to female and male physical abnormalities, endocrine anomalies and genetic conditions that interfere with reproduction. Many genes are likely to be involved in the complex process of reproduction. Cystic fibrosis (CF) incidence varies in different White people populations (a higher incidence of CF is observed in northern–western European...
متن کاملProteomic analysis of androgen-regulated protein expression in a mouse fetal vas deferens cell line.
During sex differentiation, androgens are essential for development of the male genital tract. The Wolffian duct is an androgen-sensitive target tissue that develops into the epididymis, vas deferens, and seminal vesicle. The present study aimed to identify androgen-regulated proteins that are involved in development of Wolffian duct-derived structures. We have used male mouse embryos transgeni...
متن کاملATP-sensitive K(+) channels composed of Kir6.1 and SUR2B subunits in guinea pig gastric myocytes.
This study was designed to identify the single-channel properties and molecular entity of ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels in guinea pig gastric myocytes with patch-clamp recording and RT-PCR. Pinacidil and diazoxide activated K(ATP) currents in a glibenclamide-sensitive manner. The open probability of channels was enhanced by the application of 10 microM pinacidil from 0.085 +/- 0.04 to 0....
متن کاملInositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors modulate Ca2+ sparks and Ca2+ store content in vas deferens myocytes.
Spontaneous Ca2+ sparks were observed in fluo 4-loaded myocytes from guinea pig vas deferens with line-scan confocal imaging. They were abolished by ryanodine (100 microM), but the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R) blockers 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB; 100 microM) and intracellular heparin (5 mg/ml) increased spark frequency, rise time, duration, and spread. Very prolon...
