Transcriptional regulation of α1H T-type calcium channel under hypoxia.
The low-voltage-activated T-type Ca(2+) channels play an important role in mediating the cellular responses to altered oxygen tension. Among three T-type channel isoforms, α1G, α1H, and α1I, only α1H was found to be upregulated under hypoxia. However, mechanisms underlying such hypoxia-dependent isoform-specific gene regulation remain incompletely understood. We, therefore, studied the hypoxia-...
متن کاملNeuronal T–type calcium channels: What's new? Iftinca: T–type channel regulation
This review summarizes recent advances in our understanding of neuronal T-type calcium channel regulation as well as their physiological and pathophysiological roles. Through their ability to conduct calcium across the cellular membrane at potentials close to the resting potential, T-type calcium channels are critically important for regulating neuronal excitability, both in the central and per...
متن کاملContributions of T-type calcium channel isoforms to neuronal firing.
Low voltage-activated (LVA) T-type calcium channels play critical roles in the excitability of many cell types and are a focus of research aimed both at understanding the physiological basis of calcium channel-dependent signaling and the underlying pathophysiology associated with hyperexcitability disorders such as epilepsy. These channels play a critical role towards neuronal firing in both c...
متن کاملState-Dependent Inactivation of the α1g T-Type Calcium Channel
We have examined the kinetics of whole-cell T-current in HEK 293 cells stably expressing the alpha1G channel, with symmetrical Na(+)(i) and Na(+)(o) and 2 mM Ca(2+)(o). After brief strong depolarization to activate the channels (2 ms at +60 mV; holding potential -100 mV), currents relaxed exponentially at all voltages. The time constant of the relaxation was exponentially voltage dependent from...
متن کاملGating Kinetics of the α1i T-Type Calcium Channel
The alpha1I T-type calcium channel inactivates almost 10-fold more slowly than the other family members (alpha1G and alpha1H) or most native T-channels. We have examined the underlying mechanisms using whole-cell recordings from rat alpha1I stably expressed in HEK293 cells. We found several kinetic differences between alpha1G and alpha1I, including some properties that at first appear qualitati...
