Abstract:
Healthy cerebrovascular myocytes express members of several different ion channel families which regulate resting membrane potential, vascular diameter, and vascular tone and are involved in cerebral autoregulation. In animal models, in response to subarachnoid blood, a dynamic transition of ion channel expression and function is initiated, with acute and long-term effects differing from each other. Initial hypoperfusion after exposure of cerebral vessels to oxyhemoglobin correlates with a suppression of voltage-gated potassium channel activity, whereas delayed cerebral vasospasm involves chan

Delayed rectifier K+-channels (Kv1.3) are predominantly expressed in T lymphocytes. Based on patch-clamp studies, the channels play crucial roles in facilitating the calcium influx necessary to trigger lymphocyte activation and proliferation.

Abstract:
Calcium (Ca2+) release–activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels are a major route for Ca2+ entry in eukaryotic cells. These channels are store operated, opening when the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is depleted of Ca2+, and are composed of the ER Ca2+ sensor protein STIM and the pore-forming plasma membrane subunit Orai. Recent years have heralded major strides in our understanding of the structure, gating, and function of the channels. Loss-of-function and gain-of-function mutants combined with RNAi knockdown strategies have revealed important roles for the channel in numerous human diseases, making the

Over the last decades, cardiovascular disease has become the primary cause of death in the Western world, and this trend is expanding throughout the world. In particular, atherosclerosis and the subsequent vessel obliterations are the primary cause of ischemic disease (stroke and coronary heart disease). Excess calcium influx into the cells is one of the major pathophysiological mechanisms important for ischemic injury in the brain and heart in humans. The large-conductance calcium-activated K+ channels (BK) are thus interesting candidates to protect against excess calcium influx and the event

Abstract:
Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels are ubiquitously expressed in excitable and non-excitable cardiac cells where they sense and respond to a wide variety of physical and chemical stimuli. As other TRP channels, TRPC channels may form homo or heterotetrameric ion channels, and they can associate with other membrane receptors and ion channels to regulate intracellular calcium concentration. Dysfunctions of TRPC channels are involved in many types of cardiovascular diseases. Significant increase in the expression of different TRPC isoforms was observed in different animal mode

Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) constitute a heterogeneous group of more than 40 autosomal-dominant genetic and neurodegenerative diseases characterized by loss of balance and motor coordination due to dysfunction of the cerebellum and its efferent connections.

Emerging research suggests that mutations in SCA genes cause disruptions in multiple cellular pathways but the characteristic SCA pathogenesis does not begin until calcium signaling

Abstract Cardiomyocytes express a surprisingly large number of potassium channel types.

Here, we review the diversity and functional roles of cardiac potassium channels under normal conditions and how heritable mutations in the genes encoding these channels can lead to distinct arrhythmias.

Consequently, human iPSC-derived nociceptors (iDNs) offer intriguingly new possibilities for patient-specific, animal-free research. In the present study, we chara

Moderate hypothermia (33?C) is only being used following cardiac arrest in comatose survivors. Hence more treatments are urgently required.

CHF is a complex disease that results in the remodelling of the heart at every level, from the gross anatomy down to the levels of the ion channel resulting in aberrant signalling and contractile dysfunction. The QT interval of the cardiac ECG is frequently increased in heart failure, suggesting ion channel remodelling which has proarrhythmic consequences. One of the aims of this study was to determine the changes that occur from the in vivo level, down to the level of the ion channel that may contribute to arrhythmogenesis.

Localized calcium elevations known as calcium puffs or sparks are cellular signals arising from cooperative activity of clusters of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) or ryanodine receptors (RyRs) located at calcium release sites on the endoplasmic or sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. When Markov chain models of these intracellular calcium-regulated calcium channels are coupled via a mathematical representation of the calcium microdomain, simulated calcium release sites may exhibit the phenomenon of "stochastic calcium excitability" where the IP3Rs or RyRs open and close in a concer

Full text
Abstract:
Molecular mechanisms and targets of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) accounting for vascular smooth muscles (VSM) contractility are reviewed. Mathematical models of five published mechanisms are presented, and four novel mechanisms are proposed. cGMP, which is primarily produced by the nitric oxide (NO) dependent soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), activates cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG). The NO/cGMP/PKG signaling pathway targets are the mechanisms that regulate cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) signaling and those implicated in the Ca2+-desensitization of the contractile apparatus. In addition to previous mathematical models of cGMP-mediated molecular mechanisms targeting [Ca2+]i regulation, such as large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (BKCa), Ca2+-dependent Cl− channels (ClCa), Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX), Na+/K+/Cl− cotransport (NKCC), and Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA), other four novel mechanisms are proposed here based on the existing but perhaps overlooked experimental results. These are the effects of cGMP on the sarco−/endo- plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA), the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA), the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor channels type 1 (IP3R1), and on the myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP), which is implicated in the Ca2+-desensitization. Different modeling approaches are presented and discussed, and novel model descriptions are proposed.
