Gap junction-microtubule associations in rat alveolar epithelial cells.
Connexin 43 (Cx43) is a predominant gap junction (GJ) protein expressed by alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) in primary cell culture. Cx43 trafficking, assembly, and turnover are regulated by multiple mechanisms, including those mediated by integrins, by extracellular matrix, and by the cytoskeleton. Immunocytochemical double labeling demonstrates association of microtubules with internalization ...
متن کاملMethylene blue, a soluble guanylyl cyclase inhibitor, reduces the sevoflurane minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration and decreases the brain cyclic guanosine monophosphate content in rats.
UNLABELLED The nitric oxide (NO)-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signal pathway plays an important role in anesthetic and analgesic effects. We sought to determine the involvement of inhibition of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) in the anesthetic mechanism and site of action of volatile anesthetics. We examined the effect of intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of methylene blue (M...
متن کاملEffects of Lidocaine, Dexmedetomidine or Their Combination on the Minimum Alveolar Concentration of Sevoflurane in Dogs
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of lidocaine (LIDO) and dexmedetomidine (DEX) or their combination (LIDO-DEX), administered by constant-rate infusion (CRI), on the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of sevoflurane in dogs. Seven healthy mongrel dogs were used with a 2-week washout interval between treatments in this study. Anesthesia was induced with propofol and maintained...
متن کاملA gap junction inhibitor, carbenoxolone, induces spatiotemporal dispersion of renal cortical perfusion and impairs autoregulation.
Renal autoregulation dynamics originating from the myogenic response (MR) and tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) can synchronize over large regions of the kidney surface, likely through gap junction-mediated electrotonic conduction and reflecting distributed operation of autoregulation. We tested the hypotheses that inhibition of gap junctions reduces spatial synchronization of autoregulation dyna...
متن کاملInfluence of nitrous oxide on minimum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane for laryngeal mask insertion in children.
BACKGROUND Inhalational induction with sevoflurane and nitrous oxide is frequently used for Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA; Laryngeal Mask Company, Henley-on-Thames, United Kingdom) insertion in children. The authors determined the influence of nitrous oxide on the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of sevoflurane for LMA insertion. METHODS One hundred twenty unpremedicated children (age, 1-9 y...
