C5b-9-activated, K(v)1.3 channels mediate oligodendrocyte cell cycle activation and dedifferentiation.
Voltage-gated potassium (K(v)) channels play an important role in the regulation of growth factor-induced cell proliferation. We have previously shown that cell cycle activation is induced in oligodendrocytes (OLGs) by complement C5b-9, but the role of K(v) channels in these cells had not been investigated. Differentiated OLGs were found to express K(v)1.4 channels, but little K(v)1.3. Exposure...
متن کاملDispersive Ordering and k-out-of-n Systems
Extended Abstract. The simplest and the most common way of comparing two random variables is through their means and variances. It may happen that in some cases the median of X is larger than that of Y, while the mean of X is smaller than the mean of Y. However, this confusion will not arise if the random variables are stochastically ordered. Similarly, the same may happen if one would like to ...
متن کاملKV7/KCNQ Channels Are Functionally Expressed in Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells
BACKGROUND K(V)7/KCNQ channels are widely expressed in neurons and they have multiple important functions, including control of excitability, spike afterpotentials, adaptation, and theta resonance. Mutations in KCNQ genes have been demonstrated to associate with human neurological pathologies. However, little is known about whether K(V)7/KCNQ channels are expressed in oligodendrocyte lineage ce...
متن کاملMicrobial K+ Channels
A survey of the currently available genomes shows that K channels are found in most free-living bacteria, archaea, and protists, indicating early evolution before the divergences of the three major domains of life. Though vertically descended from the primordial K channels, more recent lateral transfers of K channel genes must also have occurred. Variations in the motifs of transmembrane or cyt...
متن کامل-activated K Channels
BK channels modulate neurotransmitter release due to their activation by voltage and Ca 2 . Intracellular Mg 2 also modulates BK channels in multiple ways with opposite effects on channel function. Previous single-channel studies have shown that Mg 2 blocks the pore of BK channels in a voltage-dependent manner. We have confirmed this result by studying macroscopic currents of the mslo1 channel....
