Paying the Price at the Pump Dystonia from Mutations in a Na+/K+-ATPase
نویسنده
چکیده
Dystonia is a disorder of involuntary sustained muscle contraction, which usually affects a focal region of the body but may be generalized and results in twisting contorted movements or abnormal postures. Several clinical subtypes of dystonia have been delineated and many have a strong inherited basis. In this issue of Neuron, de Carvalho Aguiar and colleagues report the identification of missense mutations in the gene for the Na+/K+ -ATPase alpha3 subunit (ATP1A3) as a cause of rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism (RDP, DYT12).

O-10: A Marked Animal-Vegetal Polarity in The Localization of Na+,K+-ATPase Activity and Its Down-Regulation Following Progesterone-Induced Maturation
Background: Polarized cells are key to the process of differentiation. Xenopus oocyte is a polarized cell that has complete blue-print to differentiate 3 germ layers following fertilization, as key determinant molecules (Proteins and RNAs) are asymmetrically localized. The objective of this work was to localize Na+, K+-ATPase activity along animal-vegetal axis of polarized Xenopus oocyte and fo...

Mutations in the neuron-specific α3 isoform of the Na+/K+-ATPase are found in patients suffering from Rapid onset Dystonia Parkinsonism and Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood, two closely related movement disorders. We show that mice harboring a heterozygous hot spot disease mutation, D801Y (α3+/D801Y), suffer abrupt hypothermia-induced dystonia identified by electromyographic recordings. Sing...

Background and purpose: The 4T1 cell line is a laboratory model used in the study of tumors biology. This cell line is very tumorigenic with high metastatic capacity in different organs. In this study, histology and immunohistochemistry methods were used to investigate the structure and localization of Na+/K+- ATPase enzyme in 4T1 cells induced breast cancer tumor in Balb/c nu mice.

متن کاملMutations in the Na+/K+-ATPase α3 Gene ATP1A3 Are Associated with Rapid-Onset Dystonia Parkinsonism
Rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism (RDP, DYT12) is a distinctive autosomal-dominant movement disorder with variable expressivity and reduced penetrance characterized by abrupt onset of dystonia, usually accompanied by signs of parkinsonism. The sudden onset of symptoms over hours to a few weeks, often associated with physical or emotional stress, suggests a trigger initiating a nervous system in...

Introduction: Ouabaine is a well-known atrioventricular (AV) node depressant agent, but its effects on functional properties of the AV node have not been cleared. The aim of the present study was to determine how ouabaine administration modifies the rate-dependent properties of the AV node. Methods: Selective stimulation protocols were used to quantify independently electrophysiological prop...
