A plethora of cardiac chloride conductances: molecular diversity or a related gene family

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology
J R Hume, B Horowitz

Abstract

Recent electrophysiologic studies have provided evidence suggesting that as many as six different Cl- conductances can be identified in the sarcolemma of cardiac myocytes isolated from various animal species and areas of the heart. These include Cl- conductances activated by stimulation of protein kinase A, protein kinase C, extracellular ATP, intracellular Ca2+, membrane stretch, and a basally active Cl- conductance. Many basic biophysical and pharmacological properties of these channels are presently unknown, and the only molecular information presently available suggests that the cAMP-activated Cl- conductance is due to cardiac expression of an isoform of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl- channel normally found in epithelial cells. We used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify four distinct regions corresponding to the cardiac CFTR gene product from several cardiac tissues to determine if the molecular distribution of CFTR matches the distribution of cAMP-dependent Cl- channels in native myocytes. Amplification of regions corresponding to the first nucleotide binding domain (NBD1), transmembrane segments (TS) VII-XII, and the regulatory (R) domain showed a precise correlation to tiss...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
