Abstract

CLC-6 and CLC-7 belong to the family of voltage-dependent chloride channels. To learn more about the in vivo roles of CLC-6 and CLC-7, we performed in situ hybridization of these CLC channels in various mouse organs. Mouse CLC-6 (mCLC-6) was expressed in the peripheral region of seminiferous tubules in the testis, tracheal epithelium, epithelium of bronchioles, alveolar cells in the lung, acinar cells in the pancreas, and intestinal epithelium, but we could not detect signals from pancreatic islets. Mouse CLC-7 (mCLC-7) was expressed in neurons in the medulla oblongata, Purkinje cells in the cerebellum, proximal tubules in the kidney, and hepatocytes in the liver. The distribution of mCLC-6 and mCLC-7 were similar in the lung, pancreas, and testis. mCLC-6 functionally complemented the gef1 phenotype of a yeast strain in which a single CLC channel (GEF1) had been disrupted by homologous recombination. In contrast, mCLC-7 did not complement this gef1 phenotype. This study identified the cell types that express mCLC-6 and mCLC-7 in the mouse tissues, and the complementation assay suggested that mCLC-6 functions as an intracellular chloride channel.

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.
