A potassium-chloride co-transporter with altered genome architecture functions as a suppressor in glioma
J Cell Mol Med. 2024 May;28(9):e18352. doi: 10.1111/jcmm.18352.ABSTRACTGliomas, the most lethal tumours in brain, have a poor prognosis despite accepting standard treatment. Limited benefits from current therapies can be attributed to genetic, epigenetic and microenvironmental cues that affect cell programming and drive tumour heterogeneity. Through the analysis of Hi-C data, we identified a potassium-chloride co-transporter SLC12A5 associated with disrupted topologically associating domain which was downregulated in tumour tissues. Multiple independent glioma cohorts were included to analyse the characterization of SLC12A...

Hyperkalemia Recurrence Following Medical Nutrition Therapy in Patients with Stage  3-4 Chronic Kidney Disease: The REVOLUTIONIZE I Real-World Study
CONCLUSION: Most patients with stage 3-4 CKD had hyperkalemia recurrence, and MNT alone was inadequate to prevent recurrence. These patients may require additional long-term treatment, such as novel potassium binders, to maintain normokalemia and prevent hyperkalemia recurrence following MNT.

Partitioning recombinant chitinase from Nicotiana benthamiana by an aqueous two-phase system based on polyethylene glycol and phosphate salts
The objectives of this study were to purify 42 kDa chitinase derived from Trichoderma asperellum SH16 produced in Nicotiana benthamiana by a polyethylene glycol (PEG)/salt aqueous two-phase system (ATPS). The specific activities of the crude chitinase and the partially purified chitinase from N. benthamiana were about 251 unit/mg and 386 unit/mg, respectively. The study found the 300 g/L PEG 6000 + 200 g/L potassium phosphate (PP) and 300 g/L PEG 6000 + 150 g/L sodium phosphate (SP) systems had the highest partitioning efficiency for each salt in primary extraction. However, among the two types of salt, PP displayed higher...

Overexpressed KCNK1 regulates potassium channels affecting molecular mechanisms and biological pathways in bladder cancer
CONCLUSIONS: KCNK1 was significantly overexpressed in BC. A complex and sophisticated three-dimensional spatial transcriptional regulatory network existed in the KCNK1 TSS and promoted the upregulated of KCNK1 expression. The high expression of KCNK1 might be involved in the cell cycle, cellular metabolism, and tumour microenvironment through the regulation of potassium channels, and ultimately contributed to the deterioration of BC.PMID:38689322 | DOI:10.1186/s40001-024-01844-1 (Source: Cell Research)

Developing KCNQ (Kv7) Type Channel Openers for Anhedonia and Depression: An Experimental Medicine Approach
Depression is one of the largest causes of disability, and mechanistically new treatment approaches are urgently needed to address this public health problem. Basic research suggests that enhancing signaling at KCNQ (a.k.a., Kv7) type potassium channels in the brain may represent a promising new strategy for drug discovery for depression and related conditions.

From swamp to field: how genes from mangroves and its associates can enhance crop salinity tolerance
Mol Biol Rep. 2024 Apr 29;51(1):598. doi: 10.1007/s11033-024-09539-w.ABSTRACTSalinity stress is a critical challenge in crop production and requires innovative strategies to enhance the salt tolerance of plants. Insights from mangrove species, which are renowned for their adaptability to high-salinity environments, provides valuable genetic targets and resources for improving crops. A significant hurdle in salinity stress is the excessive uptake of sodium ions (Na+) by plant roots, causing disruptions in cellular balance, nutrient deficiencies, and hampered growth. Specific ion transporters and channels play crucial roles ...
