Potassium channel openers prevent palmitate-induced insulin resistance in C2C12 myotubes.

Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 541 , 47-52, (2014)

Insulin resistance (IR) of muscle cells is an early symptom of type 2 diabetes. It often results from excessive lipid accumulation in muscle fibers which under in vitro experimental conditions may be induced by incubation of muscle cells with palmitate. IR is...

Potassium ion channels and allergic asthma.

Adv. Exp. Med. Biol. 838 , 35-45, (2015)

High-conductive calcium-sensitive potassium channels (BK+Ca) and ATP-sensitive potassium (K+ATP) channels play a significant role in the airway smooth muscle cell and goblet cell function, and cytokine production. The present study evaluated the therapeutic p...

High glucose alters apoptosis and proliferation in HEK293 cells by inhibition of cloned BK Ca channel.

J. Cell Physiol. 226(6) , 1660-75, (2011)

It has been reported that diabetic vascular dysfunction is associated with impaired function of large conductance Ca(2+) -activated K(+) (BK(Ca) ) channels. However, it is unclear whether impaired BK(Ca) channel directly participates in regulating diabetic va...

Impairment of neurovascular coupling in type 1 diabetes mellitus in rats is linked to PKC modulation of BK(Ca) and Kir channels.

Am. J. Physiol. Heart Circ. Physiol. 302(6) , H1274-84, (2012)

We hypothesized that chronic hyperglycemia has a detrimental effect on neurovascular coupling in the brain and that this may be linked to protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated phosphorylation. Therefore, in a rat model of streptozotocin-induced chronic type 1 diabe...

Functional and molecular characterization of maxi K+ -channels (BK(Ca)) in buffalo myometrium.

Anim. Reprod. Sci. 126(3-4) , 173-8, (2011)

Large conductance potassium channels (BK(Ca) channels) play a central role in maintaining myometrial tone, thus activation of these channels proved to have therapeutic potential in preterm labor. Present study aims to unravel the presence of BK(Ca) (maxi-K) c...

Mitochondrial K+ channels are involved in ischemic postconditioning in rat hearts.

J. Physiol. Sci. 62(4) , 325-32, (2012)

The mitochondrial calcium-activated potassium channel (mitoK(Ca)) and the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel (mitoK(ATP)) are both involved in cardiac preconditioning. Here, we examined whether these two channels are also involved in ischemic or ph...

Splicing of the rSlo gene affects the molecular composition and drug response of Ca2+-activated K+ channels in skeletal muscle.

PLoS ONE 7(7) , e40235, (2012)

The molecular composition and drug responses of calcium-activated K(+) (BK) channels of skeletal muscle are unknown. Patch-clamp experiments combined with transcript scanning of the Kcnma1 gene encoding the alpha subunit of the BK channel were performed in ra...

Methamphetamine inhibits voltage-gated potassium currents in NG108-15 cells: possible contribution of large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels.

Toxicol. Lett. 223(2) , 139-45, (2013)

Methamphetamine (MA), a highly abused amphetamine-like psychostimulant, has surged in popularity worldwide in the last decade. Repeated MA exposure has been shown to affect the alternative splice variant expression of large conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (...

Role of ROS/RhoA/PI3K/PKB signaling in NS1619-mediated blood-tumor barrier permeability increase.

J. Mol. Neurosci. 48(1) , 302-12, (2012)

The calcium-activated potassium channel (K (Ca) channel) activator, NS1619, has been shown to selectively and time-dependently increase the permeability of the blood-tumor barrier (BTB) by downregulating the expression of tight junction (TJ) protein. However,...

Cytoprotective action of the potassium channel opener NS1619 under conditions of disrupted calcium homeostasis.

Pharmacol. Rep. 63(1) , 176-83, (2011)

Cytoprotective properties of potassium channel openers (KCOs) have been demonstrated in several models of cell injury, mainly in ischemia-reperfusion-induced damage of cardiac muscle. The mechanism responsible for the observed cytoprotection and the relative ...
