  • 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.

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.

  • Ion Channels 3 1
    r r r Cell Signalling Biology Michael J. Berridge Module 3 Ion Channels 3 1 Module 3 Ion Channels Synopsis Ion channels have two main signalling functions: either they can generate second messengers or they can function as effectors by responding to such messengers. Their role in signal generation is mainly centred on the Ca2 + signalling pathway, which has a large number of Ca2+ entry channels and internal Ca2+ release channels, both of which contribute to the generation of Ca2 + signals. Ion channels are also important effectors in that they mediate the action of different intracellular signalling pathways. There are a large number of K+ channels and many of these function in different + aspects of cell signalling. The voltage-dependent K (KV) channels regulate membrane potential and + excitability. The inward rectifier K (Kir) channel family has a number of important groups of channels + + such as the G protein-gated inward rectifier K (GIRK) channels and the ATP-sensitive K (KATP) + + channels. The two-pore domain K (K2P) channels are responsible for the large background K current. Some of the actions of Ca2 + are carried out by Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels and Ca2+-sensitive Cl − channels. The latter are members of a large group of chloride channels and transporters with multiple functions. There is a large family of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters some of which have a signalling role in that they extrude signalling components from the cell. One of the ABC transporters is the cystic − − fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that conducts anions (Cl and HCO3 )and contributes to the osmotic gradient for the parallel flow of water in various transporting epithelia.

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.

  • Potassium Channels and Their Potential Roles in Substance Use Disorders

McCoy † , Subramaniam Jayanthi † and Jean Lud Cadet * Molecular Neuropsychiatry Research Branch, NIDA Intramural Research Program, Baltimore, MD 21224, USA; [email protected] (M.T.M.); [email protected] (S.J.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-443-740-2656 † Equal contributions (joint first authors). 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.
