Regulation of the epithelial Ca2+ channels in small intestine as studied by quantitative mRNA detection.
The epithelial Ca2+ channels TRPV5 and TRPV6 are localized to the brush border membrane of intestinal cells and constitute the postulated rate-limiting entry step of active Ca2+ absorption. The aim of the present study was to investigate the hormonal regulation of these channels. To this end, the effect of 17beta-estradiol (17beta-E2), 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], and dietary Ca2+ on...
متن کاملThe Effect of Cadmium on Apoptotic Genes mRNA Expression of Bax and Bcl-2 in Small Intestine of Rats
Background: Cadmium is a potent toxicant and carcinogenic in human and experimental animals. The evidence indicates that cadmium induces aberrant gene expression, inhibition of DNA damage repair, and apoptosis. In this study, we investigated the effects of IP (intraperitoneal) injection of cadmium on mRNA levels expression of Bcl-2 and Bax genes in rat small intestine. <s...
متن کاملHistological and Histochemical Study of Large and Small Intestine of Hydrophis cyanocinctus in Minab Beaches
The aim of the current study was to investigate the histological and histochemical characteristics of large and small intestines of sea snake, Hydrophis cyanocinctus. Six adult sea snakes were collected from Minab beaches, located near the sea of Oman, in November, euthanized with chloroform, dissected and alimentary canal removed, tissues preparaed for sectioning and staining with Hematoxylin ...
متن کاملIK channels are involved in the regulatory volume decrease in human epithelial cells.
Parallel activation of Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) channels and volume-sensitive Cl(-) channels is known to be responsible for KCl efflux during regulatory volume decrease (RVD) in human epithelial Intestine 407 cells. The present study was performed to identify the K(+) channel type. RT-PCR demonstrated mRNA expression of Ca(2+)-activated, intermediate conductance K(+) (IK), but not small conductanc...
متن کاملRegulation of Intestinal Glucose Absorption by Ion Channels and Transporters
The absorption of glucose is electrogenic in the small intestinal epithelium. The major route for the transport of dietary glucose from intestinal lumen into enterocytes is the Na⁺/glucose cotransporter (SGLT1), although glucose transporter type 2 (GLUT2) may also play a role. The membrane potential of small intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) is important to regulate the activity of SGLT1. The m...
