Redox Regulation of Ion Channels in the Pulmonary Circulation
SIGNIFICANCE The pulmonary circulation is a low-pressure, low-resistance, highly compliant vasculature. In contrast to the systemic circulation, it is not primarily regulated by a central nervous control mechanism. The regulation of resting membrane potential due to ion channels is of integral importance in the physiology and pathophysiology of the pulmonary vasculature. RECENT ADVANCES Redox...
متن کاملRedox regulation of calcium ion channels: chemical and physiological aspects.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are increasingly recognized as second messengers in many cellular processes. While high concentrations of oxidants damage proteins, lipids and DNA, ultimately resulting in cell death, selective and reversible oxidation of key residues in proteins is a physiological mechanism that can transiently alter their activity and function. Defects in ROS producing enzymes ca...

C ardiac arrhythmia is one of the leading causes of sudden death in developed countries, and results from abnormal cardiac electric activity. Regular beat-to-beat cardiac excitability requires the coordinated activity of membrane-bound ionophoric proteins that are channels and transporters. Aberrant currents can result from either changes in the gating properties of ionophores or altered traffi...

SIGNIFICANCE Environmental and endogenous reactive species such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and other electrophiles are not only known to exert toxic effects on organisms, but are also emerging as molecules that mediate cell signaling responses. However, the mechanisms underlying this cellular redox signaling by reactive species remains largely uncharacter...
متن کاملRedox and trace metal regulation of ion channels in the pain pathway
Given the clinical significance of pain disorders and the relative ineffectiveness of current therapeutics, it is important to identify alternative means of modulating nociception. The most obvious pharmacological targets are the ion channels that facilitate nervous transmission from pain sensors in the periphery to the processing regions within the brain and spinal cord. In order to design eff...
