Abstract:
Kv7 K+-channel subunits differ in their apparent affinity for PIP2 and are differentially expressed in nerve, muscle, and epithelia in accord with their physiological roles in those tissues. To investigate how PIP2 affinity affects the response to physiological stimuli such as receptor stimulation, we exposed homomeric and heteromeric Kv7.2, 7.3, and 7.4 channels to a range of concentrations of the muscarinic receptor agonist oxotremorine-M (oxo-M) in a heterologous expression system. Activation of M1 receptors by oxo-M leads to PIP2 depletion through Gq and phospholipase C (PLC). Chinese hams

Abstract:
The M-type K+ current (M-current), encoded by Kv7.2/3 (KCNQ2/3) K+ channels, plays a critical role in regulating neuronal excitability because it counteracts subthreshold depolarizations. Here we have characterized the functions of pre- and postsynaptic M-channels using a novel Kv7.2/3 channel opener, NH6, which we synthesized as a new derivative of N-phenylanthranilic acid. NH6 exhibits a good selectivity as it does not affect Kv7.1 and IKS K+ currents as well as NR1/NR2B, AMPA, and GABAA receptor-mediated currents. Superfusion of NH6 increased recombinant Kv7.2/3 current amplitude (EC50 = 18

Abstract:
KV7 channels control neuronal excitability. We show that these channels are expressed in muscle afferents and generate currents that are blocked by XE991 and bradykinin (BK). The XE991 block suggests that KV7 current comprises KV7.2/3 and KV7.5 channels. The BK inhibition of KV7 channels may explain how BK activates the exercise pressor reflex (EPR). Retigabine can enhance KV7 current, which could help control the inappropriately activated EPR in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Abstract:
Neuronal Kv7/Potassium Voltage-Gated Channel Subfamily Q (KCNQ) potassium channels underlie M-current that potently suppresses repetitive and burst firing of action potentials (APs). They are mostly heterotetramers of Kv7.2 and Kv7.3 subunits in the hippocampus and cortex, the brain regions important for cognition and behavior. Underscoring their critical roles in inhibiting neuronal excitability, autosomal dominantly inherited mutations in Potassium Voltage-Gated Channel Subfamily Q Member 2 (KCNQ2) and Potassium Voltage-Gated Channel Subfamily Q Member 3 (KCNQ3) genes are associated with ben

Abstract:
Heightened sympathetic nerve activity is critically involved in the pathogenesis of primary hypertension. However, the sources driving increased sympathetic vasomotor tone remain unclear. The posterior insular cortex (PIC) is a brain region involved in regulating blood pressure and sympathetic tone. Neurons in the PIC project to the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM), a key brain stem region in regulating sympathetic nerve activity and blood pressure. The non-inactivating voltage-dependent K+ channels, M channels (Kv7/KCNQ channel family) encoded by KCNQ2/3 genes, play a unique role in stabi

Ion channels activated around the subthreshold membrane potential determine the likelihood of neuronal firing in response to synaptic inputs, a process described as intrinsic neuronal excitability. Long-term plasticity of chemical synaptic transmission is traditionally considered the main cellular mechanism of information storage in the brain; however, voltage- and calcium-activated channels modulating the inputs or outputs of neurons are also subjects of plastic changes and play a major role in learning and memory formation.

Fifty percent of infants with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), an overgrowth syndrome caused by genetic / epigenetic abnormalities in imprinted genes on chromosome 11p15, have persistent hypoglycemia due to hyperinsulinism (BWS-HI). BWS-HI islets exhibit increased baseline and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and are responsive to the KATP channel inhibitor glyburide, suggesting it is not caused by impaired KATP channels.

Although LQT1 is described as the most benign form of LQTS, patients still experience arrhythmic events and there is an unmet need for personalized risk stratification. Attempts have been made to correlate the location of mutations with outcome, but the results are unequivocal.

Serum- and glucocorticoid-induced kinase 3 (SGK3), which is ubiquitously expressed in mammals, is regulated by estrogens and androgens. SGK3 is activated by insulin and growth factors through signaling pathways involving phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK-1), and mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2). Activated SGK3 can activate ion channels (TRPV5/6, SOC, Kv1.3, Kv1.5, Kv7.1, BKCa, Kir2.1, Kir2.2, ENaC, Nav1.5, ClC-2, and ClC Ka), carriers and receptors (Npt2a, Npt2b, NHE3, GluR1, GluR6, SN1, EAAT1, EAAT2, EAAT4, EAAT5, SGLT1, SLC1A5, S
