Regulation of ion channel expression.

چکیده
A potentially important mechanism controlling ion channel expression is homeostatic regulation, which can act to maintain a stable electrophysiological phenotype in cardiac myocytes as well as to provide plasticity in response to genetic, pathological, or pharmacological insults. The capabilities and limitations of the homeostatic regulatory mechanisms that contribute to the control of cardiac ion channel expression are the primary topic of this review.

Regulation of CFTR chloride channel trafficking by Nedd4-2: role of SGK1
Introduction: The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride (Cl−) channel is an essential component of epithelial Cl− transport systems in many organs. CFTR is mainly expressed in the lung and other tissues, such as testis, duodenum, trachea and kidney. The ubiquitin ligase neural precursor cells expressed developmentally down-regulated protein 4-2 (Nedd4-2...

Unsteady hydromagnetic generalised Couette flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid between two horizontal parallel porous plates Darcian channel in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field taking Hall current and ion-slip into account in a rotating system is investigated. An exact solution of the governing equations is obtained by Laplace transform techniq...
متن کاملEnergy study at different solvents for potassium Channel Protein by Monte Carlo, Molecular and Langevin Dynamics Simulations
Potassium Channels allow potassium flux and are essential for the generation of electric current acrossexcitable membranes. Potassium Channels are also the targets of various intracellular controlmechanisms; such that the suboptimal regulation of channel function might be related to pathologicalconditions. Realistic studies of ion current in biologic channels present a major challenge for compu...
متن کاملAcid-sensing ion channel 1a regulates the survival of nucleus pulposus cells in the acidic environment of degenerated intervertebral discs
Objective(s): Activation of acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a) is responsible for tissue injury caused by acidosis in nervous systems. But its physiological and pathological roles in nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) are unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate whether ASIC1a regulates the survival of NPCs in the acidic environment of degenerated discs. Materials and Methods: NPCs were i...
متن کاملAcid-sensing channels in human bladder: expression, function and alterations during bladder pain syndrome.
PURPOSE We examined the possible role of H(+) activated acid-sensing ion channels in pain perception. We characterized expression in bladder dome biopsies from patients with bladder pain syndrome and controls, in cultured human urothelium and in urothelial TEU-2 cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cold cut biopsies from the bladder dome were obtained in 8 asymptomatic controls and 28 patients with b...
