Abstract

The endothelin receptor type B (ETBR) regulates water and electrolyte balance and blood pressure, in part, by inhibiting renal sodium transport. Our preliminary study found that the ETBR-mediated diuresis and natriuresis are impaired in hypertension with unknown mechanism. Persistently increased activity of G protein-coupled receptor kinase 4 (GRK4), caused by increased expression or genetic variants (eg, GRKγ142V), impairs the ability of the kidney to excrete a sodium load, in part, by impairing renal dopamine D1 receptor function through persistent phosphorylation. Our present study found that although renal ETBR expression was not different between Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), renal ETBR phosphorylation was higher in SHRs. The role of hyper-phosphorylation in impaired ETBR-function was supported by results in human (h) GRK4γ transgenic mice. Stimulation of ETBR by BQ3020-induced natriuresis in human (h) GRK4γ wild-type (WT) mice. However, in hGRK4γ 142V transgenic mice, the renal ETBR was hyperphosphorylated and ETBR-mediated natriuresis and diuresis were not evident. There were co-localization and co-immunoprecipitation of ETBR and GRK4 in renal proximal tubule (RPT) cells from both WKY and...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.
