Abnormal osmotic regulation in trpv4-/- mice

Liedtke, Wolfgang, Friedman, Jeffrey M.

Osmotic homeostasis is one of the most aggressively defended physiological parameters in vertebrates. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying osmotic regulation are poorly understood. The...

Mammalian TRPV4 (VR-OAC) directs behavioral responses to osmotic and mechanical stimuli in Caenorhabditis elegans

Liedtke, Wolfgang, Tobin, David M., Bargmann, Cornelia I., Friedman, Jeffrey M.

All animals detect osmotic and mechanical stimuli, but the molecular basis for these responses is incompletely understood. The vertebrate transient receptor potential channel vanilloid subfamily 4...

TRPV4 plays an evolutionary conserved role in the transduction of osmotic and mechanical stimuli in live animals

Liedtke, Wolfgang

The TRPV4 ion channel, previously named vanilloid receptor-related osmotically activated channel (VR-OAC), functions in vivo in the transduction of osmotic and mechanical stimuli. In trpv4 null mice,...

Stathmin-Deficient Mice Develop an Age-Dependent Axonopathy of the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems

Liedtke, Wolfgang, Leman, Elizabeth E., Fyffe, Robert E. W., Raine, Cedric S., Schubart, Ulrich K.

Stathmin is a cytosolic protein that binds tubulin and destabilizes cellular microtubules, an activity regulated by phosphorylation. Despite its abundant expression in the developing mammalian...

Deletion of the transient receptor potential cation channel TRPV4 impairs murine bladder voiding

Gevaert, Thomas, Vriens, Joris, Segal, Andrei, Everaerts, Wouter, Roskams, Tania, Talavera, Karel, ...

Here we provide evidence for a critical role of the transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 4 (TRPV4) in normal bladder function. Immunofluorescence demonstrated TRPV4...

Protease-activated receptor 2 sensitizes the transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 ion channel to cause mechanical hyperalgesia in mice

Grant, Andrew D, Cottrell, Graeme S, Amadesi, Silvia, Trevisani, Marcello, Nicoletti, Paola, Materazzi, Serena, ...

Exacerbated sensitivity to mechanical stimuli that are normally innocuous or mildly painful (mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia) occurs during inflammation and underlies painful diseases....

How irritating: the role of TRPA1 in sensing cigarette smoke and aerogenic oxidants in the airways

Simon, Sidney A., Liedtke, Wolfgang

Airway irritants cause a variety of lung pathologies. Two separate studies, the first recently reported in the JCI by Bessac et al. and the second reported by Andrè et al. in the current issue of...
