Aquaporin Channels in the Heart—Physiology and Pathophysiology
International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Aquaporin Channels in the Heart—Physiology and Pathophysiology Arie O. Verkerk 1,2,* , Elisabeth M. Lodder 2 and Ronald Wilders 1 1 Department of Medical Biology, Amsterdam University Medical Centers, University of Amsterdam, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands; [email protected] 2 Department of Experimental Cardiology, Amsterdam University Medical Centers, University of Amsterdam, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +31-20-5664670 Received: 29 March 2019; Accepted: 23 April 2019; Published: 25 April 2019 Abstract: Mammalian aquaporins (AQPs) are transmembrane channels expressed in a large variety of cells and tissues throughout the body. They are known as water channels, but they also facilitate the transport of small solutes, gasses, and monovalent cations. To date, 13 different AQPs, encoded by the genes AQP0–AQP12, have been identified in mammals, which regulate various important biological functions in kidney, brain, lung, digestive system, eye, and skin. Consequently, dysfunction of AQPs is involved in a wide variety of disorders. AQPs are also present in the heart, even with a specific distribution pattern in cardiomyocytes, but whether their presence is essential for proper (electro)physiological cardiac function has not intensively been studied. This review summarizes recent findings and highlights the involvement of AQPs in normal and pathological cardiac function. We conclude that AQPs are at least implicated in proper cardiac water homeostasis and energy balance as well as heart failure and arsenic cardiotoxicity. However, this review also demonstrates that many effects of cardiac AQPs, especially on excitation-contraction coupling processes, are virtually unexplored. -

TFRC colocalized with wildtype and mutant FLAG-RAB12. Immunofluorescent staining of fibroblasts expressing FLAG-RAB12 WT, p.Gly13Asp, or p.Ile196Val revealed predominant perinuclear localization of TFRC (red) which overlaps with the localization of FLAG-RAB12 (green) in all three cell lines (WT, p.Gly13Asp, p.Ile196Val). The nucleus was stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar: 20µm. 3 Figure S3. Lysosomal degradation of the physiological dimeric TFRC was not affected by the RAB12 mutations. Western Blot analysis revealed the degradation of TFRC in patient fibroblasts with endogenous expression of RAB12 (a, b) in fibroblasts ectopically expressing FLAG-RAB12 (c, d), and in SH-SY5Y cells ectopically expressing FLAG-RAB12 (e, f).

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated. -

Anderson, Sloan Kettering Institute, New York, NY, and approved December 27, 2017 (received for review September 9, 2017) Motile cilia are characterized by dynein motor units, which preas- function of these proteins is unknown; however, missing dynein semble in the cytoplasm before trafficking into the cilia. Proteins motor complexes in the cilia of mutants and cytoplasmic locali- required for dynein preassembly were discovered by finding human zation (or absence in the cilia proteome) suggest a role in the mutations that result in absent ciliary motors, but little is known preassembly of dynein motor complexes. Studies in C. reinhardtii about their expression, function, or interactions. By monitoring show motor components in the cell body before transport to ciliogenesis in primary airway epithelial cells and MCIDAS-regulated flagella (22–25). However, the expression, interactions, and induced pluripotent stem cells, we uncovered two phases of expres- functions of preassembly proteins, as well as the steps required sion of preassembly proteins.

Human mutagenesis is largely random, thus large Introduction coding regions, simply on the basis of probability, represent relatively large mutagenesis targets. Thus, we considered Genetic damage is largely random and therefore tends to the possibility that large cytoskeletal-protein related coding affect the larger, functional regions of the human genome regions (CPCRs), including extra-cellular matrix (ECM) more frequently than the smaller regions (1). For example, coding regions, would have systemic nucleotide variants that a systematic study has revealed that cancer fusion genes, on are not present in common SNP databases.

Deng et al. Biol Res (2018) 51:25 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40659-018-0174-7 Biological Research RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Identifcation of key genes and pathways involved in response to pain in goat and sheep by transcriptome sequencing Xiuling Deng1,2†, Dong Wang3†, Shenyuan Wang1, Haisheng Wang2 and Huanmin Zhou1* Abstract Purpose: This aim of this study was to investigate the key genes and pathways involved in the response to pain in goat and sheep by transcriptome sequencing. Methods: Chronic pain was induced with the injection of the complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) in sheep and goats. The animals were divided into four groups: CFA-treated sheep, control sheep, CFA-treated goat, and control goat groups (n 3 in each group). The dorsal root ganglions of these animals were isolated and used for the construction of a cDNA= library and transcriptome sequencing. Diferentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identifed in CFA-induced sheep and goats and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis was performed. Results: In total, 1748 and 2441 DEGs were identifed in CFA-treated goat and sheep, respectively. The DEGs identi- fed in CFA-treated goats, such as C-C motif chemokine ligand 27 (CCL27), glutamate receptor 2 (GRIA2), and sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 3 (SCN3A), were mainly enriched in GO functions associated with N-methyl- D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, infammatory response, and immune response. The DEGs identifed in CFA-treated sheep, such as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-related DEGs (gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor gamma 3 subunit [GABRG3], GABRB2, and GABRB1), SCN9A, and transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1), were mainly enriched in GO functions related to neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, NMDA receptor, and defense response. -
