Ryanodine receptor abnormalities has implicated in the generation and maintenance of seizure. Dantrolene, a selective ryanodine receptor antagonist, may be a potential drug for the prevention of seizure. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the protective effects of dantrolene against pentylenetetrazole
Status epilepticus (SE) is a life-threatening emergency that can cause neurodegeneration with debilitating neurological disorders. However, the mechanism by which convulsive SE results in neurodegeneration is not fully understood. It has been shown that epileptic seizures produce markedly increased
The Ca2+ release channel ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) is required for excitation-contraction coupling in the heart and is also present in the brain. Mutations in RyR2 have been linked to exercise-induced sudden cardiac death (catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia [CPVT]).
UNASSIGNED
Sigma receptors, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist, and modulators of intracellular calcium may be useful for seizure control. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the antiepileptic effects of opipramol, a sigma receptor agonist, against pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures in mice
BACKGROUND
Catecholamine-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is one of the most severe inherited arrhythmogenic disorders, where patients clinically present with syncope or seizures.
METHODS
An 18-year-old white male with a history of mild developmental delay and CPVT, was brought to
Status epilepticus (SE) is a clinical emergency that can lead to the development of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). The development and maintenance of spontaneous seizures in TLE are linked to calcium (Ca+2)-dependent processes such as neuronal cell loss and pathological synaptic
To clarify the antiepileptic and neuroprotective actions of zonisamide (ZNS), we determined acute effects of ZNS on exocytosis of GABA and glutamate associated with ryanodine-receptor (Ryr) in rat hippocampus using microdialysis. ZNS increased basal GABA release concentration-dependently without
BK channels are large-conductance calcium- and voltage-activated potassium channels with diverse properties. Knockout of the accessory BK β4-subunit in hippocampus dentate gyrus granule neurons causes BK channels to change properties from slow-gated type II channels to fast-gated type I channels
To clarify the mechanisms of the pharmacological action of carbamazepine (CBZ), we determined the effect of CBZ on GABA and glutamate release associated with the ryanodine receptor (Ryr)-sensitive Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+)-releasing system (CICR) in the rat hippocampus using microdialysis. The
Calcium, as a second messenger, has an important role in a variety of cellular functions. However, disruption of intracellular calcium homeostasis leads to cytotoxicity and cell death. Excessive calcium release from intracellular stores, via the calcium channel ryanodine receptor, contributes to
Ryanodine receptors (RyR) regulate intracellular Ca(2+) release in many cell types and have been implicated in a number of inherited human diseases. Over the past 15 years genetically engineered mouse models have been developed to elucidate the role that RyRs play in physiology and pathophysiology.
To characterize excitation-contraction coupling in Caenorhabditis elegans, we applied two approaches. First, we isolated a mutant having abnormal responses to ketamine, an anesthetic in vertebrates. The novel mutation unc-68(kh30) (isolated as kra-1(kh30)), exhibited strict ketamine-dependent
An adolescent girl with a history of anxiety associated seizure-like episodes was ultimately diagnosed with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. She tested positive for a novel mutation of the ryanodine receptor. The report underscores how genetic arrhythmia syndromes may be
A 34-year-old man, who was previously fit and healthy, died suddenly on exercise. A post-mortem exam performed by forensic pathologists and a toxicological screening were normal; therefore, the cause of death was suspected to be sudden arrhythmic death syndrome, prompting the need for a molecular
Cellular signaling proteins such as metabotropic glutamate receptors, Shank, and different types of ion channels are physically linked by Vesl (VASP/Ena-related gene up-regulated during seizure and LTP)/Homer proteins [Curr. Opin. Neurobiol. 10 (2000) 370; Trends Neurosci. 23 (2000) 80; J. Cell Sci.
