Structural insights into the lipid and ligand regulation of a human neuronal KCNQ channel
2022, NeuronCitation Excerpt :Impaired channel activity of KCNQ4 is associated with nonsyndromic autosomal dominant hearing loss (DFNA2) and hearing impairment owing to the role of KCNQ4 in cochlear hair cells (Xia et al., 2020; Kharkovets et al., 2000; Jung et al., 2019). Selective neuronal KCNQ openers can be used for the treatment of epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disorders, while KCNQ blockers may be developed as cognitive enhancers to treat neurodegenerative disorders (Barrese et al., 2018; Zheng et al., 2013; Song et al., 2009; Gribkoff, 2008). Therefore, structural information about these channels in complex with their endogenous and candidate therapeutic ligands is of high interest in guiding future basic, translational, and clinical work.
Metabotropic Modulation of Potassium Channels During Synaptic Plasticity
2021, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :This is an example of hyperpolarizing currents contributing to the expression of LTP, by keeping the synapse net excitability under control in order to avoid an overstimulation. Several studies highlighted the positive effect that muscarinic activation have facilitating the induction of LTP in the hippocampus (Song et al., 2009; Buchanan et al., 2010; Fontan-Lozano et al., 2011; Petrovic et al., 2012) and other brain areas (Peng et al., 2017), presumably by inducing an enhancement of glutamate release (Sun and Kapur, 2012). In particular, it seems that LTP in the CA1 neurons of the hippocampus can be reinforced when this is induced with a parallel stimulation in the stratum oriens, which triggers the release of endogenous acetylcholine from cholinergic terminals.
BDNF contributes to the neonatal incision-induced facilitation of spinal long-term potentiation and the exacerbation of incisional pain in adult rats
2018, NeuropharmacologyCitation Excerpt :Facilitation of LTP contains both the downregulation of LTP threshold and the enhancement of LTP magnitude. And when subthreshold stimulation induces LTP successfully, the magnitude of LTP induced by suprathreshold stimulation can be increased (Lalo et al., 2016; Suo et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2012), decreased (Ding et al., 2015; Lalo et al., 2016) or unchanged (Lu et al., 1999; Pyapali et al., 1998; Song et al., 2009). Therefore, we further detected whether the magnitude of 300 ng BDNF-induced spinal LTP was changed in nIN-IN rats.
KCNQ/Kv7 channel activator flupirtine protects against acute stress-induced impairments of spatial memory retrieval and hippocampal LTP in rats
2014, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :However, some previous studies have demonstrated that pharmacological inhibition of KCNQ/Kv7 channels facilitates the memory process and hippocampal LTP. In their studies, XE-991 facilitates the object recognition memory (Fontan-Lozano et al., 2011) and LTP induced by sub-threshold stimulation which provoke short-term changes in synaptic efficacy (Song et al., 2009; Fontan-Lozano et al., 2011). They pointed out that XE-991 lowered the threshold for LTP induction and did not alter LTP induced by supra-threshold stimulation.
