Intracellular ion channels and cancer
Several types of channels play a role in the maintenance of ion homeostasis in subcellular organelles including endoplasmatic reticulum, nucleus, lysosome, endosome, and mitochondria. Here we give a brief overview of the contribution of various mitochondrial and other organellar channels to cancer cell proliferation or death. Much attention is focused on channels involved in intracellular calci...
متن کاملInhibition of CatSper and Hv1 Channels and NOX5 Enzyme Affect Progesterone-Induced Increase of Intracellular Calcium Concentration and ROS Generation in Human Sperm
Background: Normal sperm function depends on appropriate intracellular calcium (Cai2+) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Calcium activates NADPH oxidase-5 (NOX5) that leads to ROS generation. The calcium channel of sperm (CatSper) is activated by progesterone and intracellular alkalization. Herein, the interactive role of CatSper, Hv1 channels, and NOX5 enzyme on Cai2+ and ROS generatio...
متن کاملO 13: Ion Channels in Autoimmune Neurodegeneration
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by widespread inflammation, focal demyelination and a variable degree of axonal and neuronal loss. Ionic conductances regulate T cell activation as well as neuronal function and thus have been found to play a crucial role in MS pathogenesis. Since present therapeutical approaches are only parti...
متن کاملGiga-Ohm Seals on Intracellular Membranes: A Technique for Studying Intracellular Ion Channels in Intact Cells
A method is outlined for obtaining giga-ohm seals on intracellular membranes in intact cells. The technique employs a variant of the patch-clamp technique: a concentric electrode arrangement protects an inner patch pipette during penetration of the plasma membrane, after which a seal can be formed on an internal organelle membrane. Using this technique, successful recordings can be obtained wit...
متن کاملThe Role of Ion Channels in Microglial Activation and Proliferation – A Complex Interplay between Ligand-Gated Ion Channels, K+ Channels, and Intracellular Ca2+
Microglia are often referred to as the immune cells of the brain. They are most definitely involved in immune responses to invading pathogens and inflammatory responses to tissue damage. However, recent results suggest microglia are vital for normal functioning of the brain. Neuroinflammation, as well as more subtle changes, in microglial function has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many...
