Journal ArticleDOI
D184E mutation in aquaporin-4 gene impairs water permeability and links to deafness.
Grazia Paola Nicchia,Romina Ficarella,Andrea Rossi,Ilenia Giangreco,Orazio Nicolotti,Angelo Carotti,Francesco Pisani,Xavier Estivill,Paolo Gasparini,Maria Svelto,Antonio Frigeri +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the reduction in water permeability is not ascribable to a reduced expression of AQP4 mutant protein or to its incorrect plasma membrane targeting and aggregation into orthogonal arrays of particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aquaporin Membrane Channels: Biophysics, Classification, Functions, and Possible Biotechnological Applications
TL;DR: This review summarizes recent updates on the molecular structure, regulation, biophysics, and biological functions of aquaporins and features conductance to small neutral solutes in addition to water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water handling and aquaporins in bile formation: recent advances and research trends.

TL;DR: Water handling and aquaporins in bile formation: recent advances and research trends
Journal ArticleDOI
NKCC2 is activated in Milan hypertensive rats contributing to the maintenance of salt-sensitive hypertension
Monica Carmosino,Federica Rizzo,Patrizia Ferrari,Lucia Torielli,Mara Ferrandi,Giuseppe Bianchi,Maria Svelto,Giovanna Valenti +7 more
TL;DR: An increase in the activity of NKCC2 along the TAL that significantly contributes to the increase in systemic blood pressure in MHS rats is demonstrated and may influence Na+ balance through a SPAK-dependent regulation ofNKCC2 accounting for the maintenance of the hypertensive state in M HS rats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Translational regulation mechanisms of aquaporin-4 supramolecular organization in astrocytes.
TL;DR: Using isoform‐specific RNAi, site‐specific mutagenesis of the 5′UTR sequence of AQP4‐M1 mRNA indicates that a multiple‐site leaky scanning mechanism, an out‐of‐frame upstream ORF, and a reinitiation mechanism are able to modulate the M1/M23 ratio and consequently, OAPs formation.
