  • Potassium Channels in Epilepsy
    Downloaded from http://perspectivesinmedicine.cshlp.org/ on September 28, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Potassium Channels in Epilepsy Ru¨diger Ko¨hling and Jakob Wolfart Oscar Langendorff Institute of Physiology, University of Rostock, Rostock 18057, Germany Correspondence: [email protected] This review attempts to give a concise and up-to-date overview on the role of potassium channels in epilepsies. Their role can be defined from a genetic perspective, focusing on variants and de novo mutations identified in genetic studies or animal models with targeted, specific mutations in genes coding for a member of the large potassium channel family. In these genetic studies, a demonstrated functional link to hyperexcitability often remains elusive. However, their role can also be defined from a functional perspective, based on dy- namic, aggravating, or adaptive transcriptional and posttranslational alterations. In these cases, it often remains elusive whether the alteration is causal or merely incidental. With 80 potassium channel types, of which 10% are known to be associated with epilepsies (in humans) or a seizure phenotype (in animals), if genetically mutated, a comprehensive review is a challenging endeavor. This goal may seem all the more ambitious once the data on posttranslational alterations, found both in human tissue from epilepsy patients and in chronic or acute animal models, are included. We therefore summarize the literature, and expand only on key findings, particularly regarding functional alterations found in patient brain tissue and chronic animal models.

  • Bioinformatics Analysis of Differentially Expressed Genes in Rotator Cuff Tear
    Ren et al. Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research (2018) 13:284 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13018-018-0989-5 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Bioinformatics analysis of differentially expressed genes in rotator cuff tear patients using microarray data Yi-Ming Ren†, Yuan-Hui Duan†, Yun-Bo Sun†, Tao Yang and Meng-Qiang Tian* Abstract Background: Rotator cuff tear (RCT) is a common shoulder disorder in the elderly. Muscle atrophy, denervation and fatty infiltration exert secondary injuries on torn rotator cuff muscles. It has been reported that satellite cells (SCs) play roles in pathogenic process and regenerative capacity of human RCT via regulating of target genes. This study aims to complement the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of SCs that regulated between the torn supraspinatus (SSP) samples and intact subscapularis (SSC) samples, identify their functions and molecular pathways. Methods: The gene expression profile GSE93661 was downloaded and bioinformatics analysis was made. Results: Five hundred fifty one DEGs totally were identified. Among them, 272 DEGs were overexpressed, and the remaining 279 DEGs were underexpressed. Gene ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analysis of target genes were performed. We furthermore identified some relevant core genes using gene–gene interaction network analysis such as GNG13, GCG, NOTCH1, BCL2, NMUR2, PMCH, FFAR1, AVPR2, GNA14, and KALRN, that may contribute to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of secondary injuries in RCT. We also discovered that GNG13/calcium signaling pathway is highly correlated with the denervation atrophy pathological process of RCT. Conclusion: These genes and pathways provide a new perspective for revealing the underlying pathological mechanisms and therapy strategy of RCT.

Condorelli , Laura M. Mongioì, Sandro La Vignera * and Aldo E. Calogero Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, University of Catania, 95123 Catania, Italy; [email protected] (R.A.C.); [email protected] (L.M.M.); [email protected] (A.E.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (R.C.); [email protected] (S.L.V.) Received: 8 February 2020; Accepted: 2 March 2020; Published: 3 March 2020 Abstract: Male infertility affects half of infertile couples and, currently, a relevant percentage of cases of male infertility is considered as idiopathic. Although the male contribution to human fertilization has traditionally been restricted to sperm DNA, current evidence suggest that a relevant number of sperm transcripts and proteins are involved in acrosome reactions, sperm-oocyte fusion and, once released into the oocyte, embryo growth and development. The aim of this review is to provide updated and comprehensive insight into the molecular biology of spermatogenesis, including evidence on spermatogenetic failure and underlining the role of the sperm-carried molecular factors involved in oocyte fertilization and embryo growth. This represents the first step in the identification of new possible diagnostic and, possibly, therapeutic markers in the field of apparently idiopathic male infertility. Keywords: spermatogenetic failure; embryo growth; male infertility; spermatogenesis; recurrent pregnancy loss; sperm proteome; DNA fragmentation; sperm transcriptome 1. Introduction Infertility is a widespread condition in industrialized countries, affecting up to 15% of couples of childbearing age [1]. It is defined as the inability to achieve conception after 1–2 years of unprotected sexual intercourse [2].

AGRP neurons are a key hypothalamic population 23 that is activated during energy deficit and increases appetite and weight-gain. Cell type-specific 24 transcriptomics can be used to identify pathways that counteract weight-loss, and here we 25 report high-quality gene expression profiles of AGRP neurons from well-fed and food-deprived 26 young adult mice. For comparison, we also analyzed POMC neurons, an intermingled 27 population that suppresses appetite and body weight. We find that AGRP neurons are 28 considerably more sensitive to energy deficit than POMC neurons. Furthermore, we identify cell 29 type-specific pathways involving endoplasmic reticulum-stress, circadian signaling, ion 30 channels, neuropeptides, and receptors. Combined with methods to validate and manipulate 31 these pathways, this resource greatly expands molecular insight into neuronal regulation of 32 body weight, and may be useful for devising therapeutic strategies for obesity and eating 33 disorders.

Abstract: Substance use disorders (SUDs) are ubiquitous throughout the world. However, much re- mains to be done to develop pharmacotherapies that are very efficacious because the focus has been mostly on using dopaminergic agents or opioid agonists. Herein we discuss the potential of using potassium channel activators in SUD treatment because evidence has accumulated to support a role of these channels in the effects of rewarding drugs. Potassium channels regulate neuronal action potential via effects on threshold, burst firing, and firing frequency. They are located in brain regions identified as important for the behavioral responses to rewarding drugs. In addition, their ex- pression profiles are influenced by administration of rewarding substances. Genetic studies have also implicated variants in genes that encode potassium channels. Importantly, administration of potassium agonists have been shown to reduce alcohol intake and to augment the behavioral effects of opioid drugs. Potassium channel expression is also increased in animals with reduced intake of methamphetamine. Together, these results support the idea of further investing in studies that focus on elucidating the role of potassium channels as targets for therapeutic interventions against SUDs.

    A Pharmacological and Transcriptomic approach to exploring Novel Pain Targets Kathleen Yin Bachelor of Pharmacy A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 Institute for Molecular Bioscience i Abstract Ever since the discovery that mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel 1.7 protein are responsible for human congenital insensitivity to pain, the voltage-gated sodium channel (NaV) family of ion channels has been the subject of intense research with the hope of discovering novel analgesics. We now know that NaV1.7 deletion in select neuronal populations yield different phenotypes, with the deletion of NaV1.7 in all sensory neurons being successful at abolishing mechanical and heat-induced pain. However, it is rapidly becoming apparent that a number of pain syndromes are not modulated by NaV1.7 at all, such as oxaliplatin-mediated neuropathy. It is particularly interesting to note that the loss of NaV1.7 function is also associated with the selective inhibition of pain mediated by specific stimuli, such as that observed in burn-induced pain where NaV1.7 gene knockout abolished thermal allodynia but did not affect mechanical allodynia. Accordingly, significant interests exist in delineating the contribution of other NaV isoforms in modality-specific pain pathways. Two other isoforms, NaV1.6 and NaV1.8, are now specifically implicated in some NaV1.7-independent conditions such as oxaliplatin-induced cold allodynia. Such selective contributions of specific ion channel isoforms to pain highlight the need to discover other putative protein targets involved in mediating nociception. The aim of my work is therefore to discover selective molecular inhibitors of NaV1.6 and NaV1.8, to find useful cell models for peripheral nociceptors, to investigate the roles of NaV1.6 and NaV1.8 in an animal model of burn-induced pain, and to screen for putative new targets for analgesia in burn-related pain.
