Synthetic anion transmembrane transporters are adding new aspirations for treating channelopathies by replacing defective ion channels. The availability of such suitable candidates is still infrequent due to the associated toxicity. Here, we report 3-(1-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)benzamides as transmembrane anion carriers, nontoxic to cells. The selective and electrogenic chloride transport activity was established by fluorescence and ion selective electrode-based assays. MQAE assay confirmed the chloride uptake into the cells by the nontoxic compounds.

Instant and refrigerated acid soaking are commonly used in cocoon production to prevent or break diapause, and provide developable silkworm eggs for sericulture, while their mechanisms have not been fully understood. This study aims to investigate the mechanisms by which hydrochloric acid (HCl) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) promotes embryonic development in silkworm Bombyx mori, focusing on the chloride ion (Cl) related gene expression profiles. Our results revealed that the HCl treatment of up to 6 min enhanced hatchability in freshly picked and cold-stored eggs, whereas a slight decrease in hatchability was observed in those treated with DMSO for 40 min.

Laminating a free-standing carbon electrode film onto perovskite film is a promising method for fabricating HTM (hole transport material)-free carbon electrode perovskite solar cells (c-PSCs), offering more flexibility by decoupling the processes of carbon electrode and perovskite layer formation. However, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of laminated HTM-free c-PSCs (<16.5%) remains lower compared to c-PSCs with printed carbon pastes (>20%), primarily due to poor interfacial contact between the perovskite and carbon layers.

Do Pulmonary Ionocytes Absorb Chloride or Secrete Chloride?

Am J Physiol Cell Physiol

December 2024

Department of Internal Medicine and Pappajohn Biomedical Institute Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine, University of Iowa, Iowa City, USA.

Pulmonary ionocytes express high levels of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channels. When studied using the short-circuit current technique, ionocytes produce CFTR-dependent short-circuit currents consistent with Cl secretion. However, when studied without a voltage-clamp, data indicate that ionocytes absorb Cl.

Secretory diarrhea, a major global health concern, particularly among young children, is often characterized by excessive chloride secretion through the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel. Nornidulin, a fungus-derived natural product from Aspergillus unguis, has previously been shown to inhibit cAMP-induced Cl- secretion in T84 cells (human intestinal cell lines). However, the cellular mechanism of nornidulin in inhibiting cAMP-induced Cl- secretion and its anti-secretory efficacy is still unknown especially in a human colonoid model, a preclinical model recapitulating intestinal physiology in humans.

A total of 24 genes of vacuolar H-translocating pyrophosphatases H-PPases (VPP) genes were identified in Saccharum spontaneum AP85-441 and the ScVPP1-overexpressed Arabidopsis plants conferred salt tolerance. The vital role of vacuolar H-translocating pyrophosphatases H-PPases (VPP) genes involved in plants in response to abiotic stresses. However, the understanding of VPP functions in sugarcane remained unclear.
