Abstract

Our goal was to investigate the role of Ca2+ entry in regulating Cl- current (ICl) in smooth muscle cells from canine trachealis. When studies were done using the perforated patch configuration, depolarization elicited a dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ current (ICa), followed in many cells by a sustained current. This sustained current reversed direction close to the Cl- equilibrium potential, consistent with its representing ICl. The ICl was also apparent as slowly deactivating tail currents seen upon repolarization to negative potentials. The Cl- channel blocker niflumic acid abolished both the sustained and tail currents, without affecting ICa. Several observations indicated that the ICl was dependent on Ca2+ entry. ICl was increased in magnitude when Ca2+ influx was augmented [by prolonging the depolarization or using BAY K 8644 or acetylcholine (ACh)] and decreased in magnitude when Ca2+ influx was reduced (using nifedipine). Based on these findings, we conclude that depolarization causes Ca2+ entry, with resultant elevation of cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration leading to activation of ICl (ICl(Ca)). We investigated whether Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum was involved in activation of ICl(Ca), by...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.

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.
