Journal ArticleDOI
TRPA1 mediates the inflammatory actions of environmental irritants and proalgesic agents.
Diana M. Bautista,Sven-Eric Jordt,Tetsuro Nikai,Pamela R. Tsuruda,Andrew J. Read,Jeannie Poblete,Ebenezer N. Yamoah,Allan I. Basbaum,David Julius +8 more
TL;DR: Using TRPA1-deficient mice, it is shown that this channel is the sole target through which mustard oil and garlic activate primary afferent nociceptors to produce inflammatory pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Identification and Functional Roles of a Ca2+-activated K+ Channel in Human and Mouse Hearts
Yanfang Xu,Yanfang Xu,Dipika Tuteja,Zhao Zhang,Danyan Xu,Yi Zhang,Jennifer Rodriguez,Liping Nie,Holly R. Tuxson,J. Nilas Young,Kathryn A. Glatter,Ana E. Vázquez,Ebenezer N. Yamoah,Nipavan Chiamvimonvat,Nipavan Chiamvimonvat +14 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the repolarization phase of cardiac action potential is markedly sensitive to Ca2+, and specific ligands for Ca2+-activated K+ currents may offer a unique therapeutic opportunity to modify atrial cells without interfering with ventricular myocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Null Mutation of α1D Ca2+ Channel Gene Results in Deafness but No Vestibular Defect in Mice
Hongwei Dou,Ana E. Vázquez,Yoon Namkung,Hanqi Chu,Emma Lou Cardell,Liping Nie,Susan Parson,Hee-Sup Shin,Ebenezer N. Yamoah +8 more
TL;DR: Because vestibular and cochlear hair cells share common features and null deletion of several genes have yielded both deafness and imbalance in mice, α1D null mutant mice may serve as a model to disentangle Vestibular from auditory-specific functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential expression of KCNQ4 in inner hair cells and sensory neurons is the basis of progressive high-frequency hearing loss
Kirk W. Beisel,Sonia M. Rocha-Sanchez,Ken A. Morris,Liping Nie,Feng Feng,Bechara Kachar,Ebenezer N. Yamoah,Bernd Fritzsch +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, immunofluorescence data showed that Kcnq4 expression in the adult cochlea has both longitudinal (base to apex) and radial (inner to outer hair cells) gradients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct measurement of single-channel Ca2+ currents in bullfrog hair cells reveals two distinct channel subtypes
TL;DR: The diversity and properties of voltage‐gated Ca2+ channels in bullfrog saccular hair cells are examined by means of perforated and cell‐attached patch‐clamp techniques and the existence of two distinctCa2+ channel subtypes is confirmed by using immunoblot and immunohistochemical techniques.
