AbstractIntermediate conductance potassium (IKCa) channels are exquisitively Ca2+ sensitive, intracellular Ca2+ regulating channel activity by complexing with calmodulin (CaM), which is bound to the cytosolic carboxyl tail. Although CaM antagonists might be expected to decrease IKCa channel activity, the effect of W-7 in human T lymphocytes are conflicting. We therefore evaluated the effect of W-7 on basolateral IKCa channels in human colonic crypt cells. Intact crypts obtained from normal human colonic biopsies by Ca2+ chelation were used for patch clamp studies of basolateral IKCa channels in the cell-attached configuration. IKCa channel activity was studied when the bath Ca2+ concentration was changed from 1.2 mmol/L to 100 μmol/L and back to 1.2 mmol/L, as well as from 100 μmol/L to 1.2 mmol/L and back to 100 μmol/L, both in the absence and presence of 25 μmol/L W-7. Decreasing bath Ca2+ from 1.2 mmol/L to 100 μmol/L decreased IKCa channel activity reversibly in the absence of W-7, whereas there was a uniformly high level of channel activity at both bath Ca2+ concentrations in the presence of W-7. In separate experiments, increasing bath Ca2+ from 100 μmol/L to 1.2 mmol/L increased IKCa channel activity reversibly in the absence of W-7, whereas there was again a uniformly high level of channel activity at both bath Ca2+ concentrations in the presence of W-7. We, therefore, propose that W-7 has a specific stimulatory effect on basolateral IKCa channel activity, despite its ability to inhibit Ca2+/CaM-mediated, IKCa channel-dependent Cl− secretion in human colonic epithelial cells.

MicroRNAs (miRs) contribute to different aspects of cardiovascular pathology, among them cardiac hypertrophy and atrial fibrillation. Cardiac miR expression was analyzed in a mouse model with structural and electrical remodeling. Next-generation sequencing revealed that miR-208b-3p was ~25-fold upregulated. Therefore, the aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of miR-208b on cardiac protein expression. First, an undirected approach comparing whole RNA sequencing data to miR-walk 2.0 miR-208b 3′-UTR targets revealed 58 potential targets of miR-208b being regulated. We were able to show that miR-208b mimics bind to the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of voltage-gated calcium channel subunit alpha1 C and Kcnj5, two predicted targets of miR-208b. Additionally, we demonstrated that miR-208b mimics reduce GIRK1/4 channel-dependent thallium ion flux in HL-1 cells. In a second undirected approach we performed mass spectrometry to identify the potential targets of miR-208b. We identified 40 potential targets by comparison to miR-walk 2.0 3′-UTR, 5′-UTR and CDS targets. Among those targets, Rock2 and Ran were upregulated in Western blots of HL-1 cells by miR-208b mimics. In summary, miR-208b targets the mRNAs of proteins involved in the generation of cardiac excitation and propagation, as well as of proteins involved in RNA translocation (Ran) and cardiac hypertrophic response (Rock2).

Scattering Noise

In underwater optical wireless communications (UOWC), scattering of the propagating light beam results in both intensity and phase variations, which limit the transmission link range and channel bandwidth, respectively. Scattering of photons while propagating through the channel is a random process, which results in the channel-dependent scattering noise. In this work, we introduce for the first time an analytical model for this noise and investigate its effect on the bit error rate performance of the UOWC system for three types of waters and a range of transmission link spans. We show that, for a short range of un-clear water or a longer range of clear water, the number of photons experiencing scattering is high, thus leading to the increased scattering noise. The results demonstrate that the FEC limit of 3×10−3 and considering the scattering noise, the maximum link spans are 51.5, 20, and 4.6 m for the clear, coastal, and harbor waters, respectively.
