More than three decades after their first biophysical description, Volume Regulated Anion Channels (VRACs) still remain challenging to understand. Initially, VRACs were identified as the main pathway for the cell to extrude Cl- ions during the regulatory volume decrease (RVD) mechanism contributing in fine to the recovery of normal cell volume....

In small airways, Clara cells are the main epithelial cell type and play an important physiological role in surfactant production, protection against environmental agents, regulation of inflammatory and immune responses in the respiratory system. Thus, Clara cells are involved in lung homeostasis and pathologies like asthma, Chronic Obstructive...

Volume-regulated anion channels (VRAC) are chloride channels activated in response to osmotic stress to regulate cellular volume and also participate in other cellular processes, including cell division and cell death. Recently, members of the LRRC8 family have been identified as the main contributors of VRAC conductance. LRRC8/VRAC is...

Experiments were performed to characterize the P2 purinoceptor subtype responsible for cytoplasmic calcium mobilization in cells from the initial part of rabbit distal convoluted tubule (DCT). Free calcium concentrationwas measured in a DCT cell line (DC1) with the probe fura 2. Both ATP and UTP increased cytosolic Ca21 concentration ([Ca21]i;...

The role of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in the control of Cl(-) currents was studied in mouse kidney. Whole cell clamp was used to analyze Cl(-) currents in primary cultures of proximal and distal convoluted and cortical collecting tubules from wild-type (WT) and cftr knockout (KO) mice. In WT mice, forskolin...

Lesions issued from the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) stress are a major challenge in human pathophysiology. Of human organs, the kidney is highly sensitive to I/R because of its high oxygen demand and poor regenerative capacity. Previous studies have shown that targeting the hypusination pathway of eIF5A through GC7 greatly improves ischemic...

The role of CFTR in the control of K(+) currents was studied in mouse kidney. Whole cell clamp was used to identify K(+) currents on the basis of pharmacological sensitivities in primary cultures of proximal (PCT) and distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and cortical collecting tubule (CCT) from wild-type (WT) and CFTR knockout (KO) mice. In DCT and...

Adaptation to hypoxia is an essential physiological response to decrease in tissue oxygenation. This process is primarily under the control of transcriptional activator hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF1). A better understanding of the intracellular HIF1 stabilization pathway would help in management of various diseases characterized by anemia....

The present work reports for the first time the construction of a transgenic mouse strain with specific expression of Cre recombinase in the kidney proximal tubule. A Cre/loxP strategy was developed using sglt2 promoter to drive Cre recombinase expression in transgenic mice. The mouse sglt2 5' region consisting of the first exon, the first...

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare inherited systemic disease responsible for a juvenile peripheral arterial calcification disease. The clinical diagnosis of PXE is only based on a complex multi-organ phenotypic score and/or genetical analysis. Reduced plasma inorganic pyrophosphate concentration [PPi]p has been linked to PXE. In this...
