Abstract

Effects of the lysophospholipids sphingosine-1-phosphate and lysophosphatidic acid were studied in cultured murine microglia using the patch-clamp and video imaging techniques. Both lysophospholipids induced transient membrane hyperpolarization and K(+) current activation. The lysophospholipid-induced K(+) current was blocked by charybdotoxin or iberiotoxin, but was unaffected by apamin. In recordings with 1 microM intracellular free Ca(2+), Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) currents of microglia showed a similar pharmacological profile to lysophospholipid-induced currents. The Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) channels activated in microglia by lysophospholipids are most likely encoded by the IKCa1 channel gene. The presence of IKCa1 mRNA in microglia was demonstrated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction studies. Ca(2+) imaging experiments revealed increases in the intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration of microglia to a mean value of about 400 nM after application of 1 microM sphingosine-1-phosphate or 1 microM lysophosphatidic acid. We suggest that the transient membrane hyperpolarization seen in microglia following exposure to sphingosine-1-phosphate or lysophosphatidic acid is caused by activation of IKCa1 Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) cha...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.
