The role of calcium channels in osteocyte function.

چکیده
Osteocytic response to stretching, which is potentiated by PTH, is distinct from that of osteoblast to high frequency strain. A MAPK dependent signaling pathway is suggested in the osteoblast response. At least two different types of mechanotransduction pathways are present in bone cells of osteoblastic lineage.

Involvement of voltage-dependent calcium channels in synaptic plasticity of the rat visual cortex
In this study, involvement ofvoltage-dependent calcium channels in LTP of responses of rat visual cortex slices was analyzed. Field potentials including EPSP1 and EPSP2 from layers II/III were recorded through stimulation of layer IV. Whereas nifedipine, a L-type calcium channel blocker (L-VDCC), did not considerably affect the LTP of responses, but Ni2+, a relatively selective blocker of T-typ...

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 کاملRole of NMDA receptors and voltage-dependent calcium channels in augmenting long-term potentiation of the CA1 area in morphine-dependent rats
The involvement of NMDA receptors and voltage-dependent calcium channels in augmentation of long-term potentiation (LTP) was investigated at the Schaffer collateral CA1 pyramidal cell synapses in hippocampal slices of morphine dependent rats, using primed-burst tetanic simulation. The amplitude of the population spike and its delay were measured as indices of increase in postsynaptic excitabi...
متن کاملP 44: The Role of HCN Channels in T Cell Function
Ion channels play a major role in the regulation of T cell function in health and disease. In a computer-based model, established to simulate T cells’ membrane potential (VM) generation, we discovered a discrepancy between the simulation and patch-clamp recordings. The predicted VM was more hyperpolarized than the measured VM, indicating that a yet unknown, depolarizing ion current might ...
