Disease relevance of ACCN2

 

High impact information on ACCN2

  • The ASIC genes encode proton-gated cation channels in both the central and peripheral nervous system that could be involved in pain transduction [6].
  • The biophysical and pharmacological properties of the ASIC channel closely match the H+-gated cation channel described in sensory neurons [7].
  • ASIC is expressed in dorsal root ganglia and is also distributed widely throughout the brain [7].
  • Specific blockade of NMDAR/CaMKII-ASIC coupling may reduce neuronal death after ischemia and other pathological conditions involving excessive glutamate release and acidosis [4].
  • Furthermore, NR2B-specific antagonist, CaMKII inhibitor, or overexpression of mutated form of ASIC1a with Ser478 or Ser479 replaced by alanine (ASIC1a-S478A, ASIC1a-S479A) in cultured hippocampal neurons prevented ischemia-induced enhancement of ASIC currents, cytoplasmic Ca(2+) elevation, as well as neuronal death [4].
 

Biological context of ACCN2

  • We have identified two new members of this superfamily (BNaC1 and BNaC2) in a human brain cDNA library [8].
  • Moreover, loss of ASIC impaired hippocampal long-term potentiation [9].
  • ASIC1 also showed significant phosphorylation under basal conditions [10].
  • Moreover, coexpression of ASIC and MDEG subunits in Xenopus oocytes generates an amiloride-sensitive H+-gated Na+ channel with novel properties (different kinetics, ionic selectivity, and pH sensitivity) [11].
  • When activated by acidification to pH 6.8 or 6.5, the probability of inducing action potentials correlated with the ASIC current density [12].
 

Anatomical context of ACCN2

 

Associations of ACCN2 with chemical compounds

  • The sensitivity to pH or amiloride of single versus co-expressed ASIC subunits was not significantly different; however, gadolinium ions inhibited ASIC3 and ASIC2a+3 responses with much higher potency (IC(50) approximately 40 microm) than the ASIC2a response (IC(50) >/=1 mm) [2].
  • In these cells, PCs induced an increase in [Ca2+]i that was inhibited by capsazepine, a TRPV1 antagonist, and/or by amiloride, an ASIC antagonist [17].
  • Selective modulation of heteromeric ASIC proton-gated channels by neuropeptide FF [18].
  • Thus we examined the role played by purinergic receptors, vanilloid type 1 receptors (VR1), and acid-sensing ion channels (ASIC) in mediating H2PO4- -evoked pressor responses [19].
  • 0. At least some of this current is carried by ASICs because the current is increased by both Zn(2+), an ASIC modulator, and amiloride [20].
 

Other interactions of ACCN2

  • RESULTS: In the Western blot, there was a significant three-fold increase in the mean relative optical density of the ASIC-3 55-kDa band (but not ASIC-1 or ASIC-2) in full-thickness inflamed intestine, as well as in separated muscle and mucosal layers [1].
  • In addition, significant levels of ASIC1 and ASIC3 mRNA were found in skeletal muscle tissue samples [14].
  • Using heterologous expression of ASIC subunits in Xenopus oocytes, we show here that the biphasic response of heteromeric rat and human ASIC2A+3 subtypes to low pH is selectively modulated by the neuropeptide FF (NPFF) and by the related peptide FMRFamide [18].
