Journal ArticleDOI
NAD+ activates KNa channels in dorsal root ganglion neurons.
TL;DR: NAD+ modulation may allow KNa channels to operate under physiologically relevant levels of intracellular Na+ and hence provides an explanation as to how KNa channel can control normal neuronal excitability.
Journal ArticleDOI
PKA-induced internalization of slack KNa channels produces dorsal root ganglion neuron hyperexcitability.
TL;DR: The data suggest that the change in nociceptive firing occurring during inflammation is the result of PKA-induced Slack channel trafficking, and it is found that knocking down the Slack subunit by RNA interference causes a loss of firing accommodation analogous to that observed during PKA activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gold nanorod–siRNA induces efficient in vivo gene silencing in the rat hippocampus
Adela C. Bonoiu,Earl J. Bergey,Hong Ding,Rui Hu,Rajiv Kumar,Ken-Tye Yong,Ken-Tye Yong,Paras N. Prasad,Supriya D. Mahajan,Kelly E. Picchione,Arin Bhattacharjee,Tracey A. Ignatowski +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that nanoplexes formed by electrostatic binding between negatively charged RNA and positively charged GNRs, silence the expression of the target housekeeping gene, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase within the CA1 hippocampal region of the rat brain, without showing cytotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Antipsychotic Drug Loxapine Is an Opener of the Sodium-Activated Potassium Channel Slack (Slo2.2)
Bruno Biton,Santhosh Sethuramanujam,Kelly E. Picchione,Arin Bhattacharjee,Nejla Khessibi,Francoise Chesney,Christophe Lanneau,Olivier Curet,Patrick Avenet +8 more
TL;DR: In dorsal root ganglion neurons, loxapine was found to behave as an opener of native KNa channels and to increase the rheobase of action potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
cAMP-dependent kinase does not modulate the Slack sodium-activated potassium channel.
TL;DR: It is concluded that unlike PKC, phosphorylation by PKA does not acutely modulate the function and gating activation kinetics of Slack channels.
