The Mineralocorticoid Receptor Leads to Increased Expression of EGFR
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The mineralocorticoid receptor leads to increased expression of EGFR and T‑type calcium channels that support HL‑1 cell hypertrophy Katharina Stroedecke1,2, Sandra Meinel1,2, Fritz Markwardt1, Udo Kloeckner1, Nicole Straetz1, Katja Quarch1, Barbara Schreier1, Michael Kopf1, Michael Gekle1 & Claudia Grossmann1* The EGF receptor (EGFR) has been extensively studied in tumor biology and recently a role in cardiovascular pathophysiology was suggested. The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is an important efector of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone‑system and elicits pathophysiological efects in the cardiovascular system; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Our aim was to investigate the importance of EGFR for MR‑mediated cardiovascular pathophysiology because MR is known to induce EGFR expression. We identifed a SNP within the EGFR promoter that modulates MR‑induced EGFR expression. In RNA‑sequencing and qPCR experiments in heart tissue of EGFR KO and WT mice, changes in EGFR abundance led to diferential expression of cardiac ion channels, especially of the T‑type calcium channel CACNA1H. Accordingly, CACNA1H expression was increased in WT mice after in vivo MR activation by aldosterone but not in respective EGFR KO mice. Aldosterone‑ and EGF‑responsiveness of CACNA1H expression was confrmed in HL‑1 cells by Western blot and by measuring peak current density of T‑type calcium channels. Aldosterone‑induced CACNA1H protein expression could be abrogated by the EGFR inhibitor AG1478. Furthermore, inhibition of T‑type calcium channels with mibefradil or ML218 reduced diameter, volume and BNP levels in HL‑1 cells. In conclusion the MR regulates EGFR and CACNA1H expression, which has an efect on HL‑1 cell diameter, and the extent of this regulation seems to depend on the SNP‑216 (G/T) genotype. -
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.

Towards Mutation-Specific Precision Medicine in Atypical Clinical
International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Towards Mutation-Specific Precision Medicine in Atypical Clinical Phenotypes of Inherited Arrhythmia Syndromes Tadashi Nakajima * , Shuntaro Tamura, Masahiko Kurabayashi and Yoshiaki Kaneko Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Gunma University Graduate School of Medicine, Maebashi 371-8511, Gunma, Japan; [email protected] (S.T.); [email protected] (M.K.); [email protected] (Y.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +81-27-220-8145; Fax: +81-27-220-8158 Abstract: Most causal genes for inherited arrhythmia syndromes (IASs) encode cardiac ion channel- related proteins. Genotype-phenotype studies and functional analyses of mutant genes, using heterol- ogous expression systems and animal models, have revealed the pathophysiology of IASs and enabled, in part, the establishment of causal gene-specific precision medicine. Additionally, the utilization of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology have provided further insights into the patho- physiology of IASs and novel promising therapeutic strategies, especially in long QT syndrome. It is now known that there are atypical clinical phenotypes of IASs associated with specific mutations that have unique electrophysiological properties, which raises a possibility of mutation-specific precision medicine. In particular, patients with Brugada syndrome harboring an SCN5A R1632C mutation exhibit exercise-induced cardiac events, which may be caused by a marked activity-dependent loss of R1632C-Nav1.5 availability due to a marked delay of recovery from inactivation. This suggests that the use of isoproterenol should be avoided. Conversely, the efficacy of β-blocker needs to be examined. Patients harboring a KCND3 V392I mutation exhibit both cardiac (early repolarization syndrome and Citation: Nakajima, T.; Tamura, S.; paroxysmal atrial fibrillation) and cerebral (epilepsy) phenotypes, which may be associated with a Kurabayashi, M.; Kaneko, Y. -

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. -

An in Vivo Examination of the Differences Between Rapid
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN An in vivo examination of the diferences between rapid cardiovascular collapse and prolonged hypotension induced by snake venom Rahini Kakumanu1, Barbara K. Kemp-Harper1, Anjana Silva 1,2, Sanjaya Kuruppu3, Geofrey K. Isbister 1,4 & Wayne C. Hodgson1* We investigated the cardiovascular efects of venoms from seven medically important species of snakes: Australian Eastern Brown snake (Pseudonaja textilis), Sri Lankan Russell’s viper (Daboia russelii), Javanese Russell’s viper (D. siamensis), Gaboon viper (Bitis gabonica), Uracoan rattlesnake (Crotalus vegrandis), Carpet viper (Echis ocellatus) and Puf adder (Bitis arietans), and identifed two distinct patterns of efects: i.e. rapid cardiovascular collapse and prolonged hypotension. P. textilis (5 µg/kg, i.v.) and E. ocellatus (50 µg/kg, i.v.) venoms induced rapid (i.e. within 2 min) cardiovascular collapse in anaesthetised rats. P. textilis (20 mg/kg, i.m.) caused collapse within 10 min. D. russelii (100 µg/kg, i.v.) and D. siamensis (100 µg/kg, i.v.) venoms caused ‘prolonged hypotension’, characterised by a persistent decrease in blood pressure with recovery. D. russelii venom (50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, i.m.) also caused prolonged hypotension. A priming dose of P. textilis venom (2 µg/kg, i.v.) prevented collapse by E. ocellatus venom (50 µg/kg, i.v.), but had no signifcant efect on subsequent addition of D. russelii venom (1 mg/kg, i.v). Two priming doses (1 µg/kg, i.v.) of E. ocellatus venom prevented collapse by E. ocellatus venom (50 µg/kg, i.v.). B. gabonica, C. vegrandis and B. -

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. -

Dynamic actin-rich protrusions known as invadopodia facilitate this invasive process. Ion channels have also been linked to a pro-invasive phenotype and may contribute to facilitating invadopodia activity in cancer cells. The aim of our study was to screen ion channel-targeting drugs for their cytotoxic efficacy and potential anti-invadopodia properties in glioblastoma cells. We demonstrated that the targeting of ion channels in glioblastoma cells can lead to a reduction in invadopodia activity and protease secretion.
