TRPV4 enhances the cellular uptake of aminoglycoside antibiotics.
The cochlea and kidney are susceptible to aminoglycoside-induced toxicity. The non-selective cation channel TRPV4 is expressed in kidney distal tubule cells, and hair cells and the stria vascularis in the inner ear. To determine whether TRPV4 is involved in aminoglycoside trafficking, we generated a murine proximal-tubule cell line (KPT2) and a distal-tubule cell line (KDT3). TRPV4 expression w...
متن کاملAminoglycoside Antibiotics
Aminoglycosides are hydrophilic, polycationic, aminecontaining carbohydrates that are usually composed of three to five rings. Most aminoglycosides are either natural products or derivatives of soil actinomycetes. They are often secreted by these actinomycetes as mixtures of closely related compounds. The polycationic aminoglycoside chemical structure results in a binding both to the anionic ou...
متن کاملCyclic Strain Enhances Cellular Uptake of Nanoparticles
Nanoparticles (NPs) have gained increasing interest in recent years due to their potential use as drug carrier, imaging, and diagnostic agents in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. While many cells in vivo experience mechanical forces, little is known about the correlation of the mechanical stimulation and the internalization of NPs into cells. This paper investigates the effects of ap...
متن کاملSerum protein binding of the aminoglycoside antibiotics.
The binding of four aminoglycoside antibiotics by human serum was investigated under controlled conditions of physiological pH and temperature, by means of an ultrafiltration technique. No serum binding was demonstrable for gentamicin, tobramycin, or kanamycin, whereas streptomycin was 35% bound. Previous conflicting studies are discussed, and some of the pharmacological implications are consid...
متن کاملAminoglycoside antibiotics inhibit protein biosynthesis
RNA molecules have key roles in many essential biological processes, including protein synthesis, transcriptional regulation, mRNA splicing and retroviral replication. The structural diversity of RNA, together with the lack of known RNA repair mechanisms, make RNA a challenging and important target for therapeutic intervention [1]. Our understanding of the modes by which RNA is recognized by li...
