Abstract:
During onset and offset of illumination, considerable changes in extracellular K+ concentration ([K+]e) occur within particular retinal layers. There are two ways in which glial cells may control [K+]e: (1) by space-independent processes, for example, by K+ uptake due to the Na+–K+ ATPase, and (2) by space-dependent processes, that is, by spatial buffering currents flowing through K+ channels. Rabbit retinal Müller (glial) cells were studied for expression of mechanisms supporting both kinds of processes. This review demonstrates that rabbit Müller cells have Na–K pumps whose distribution and properties are highly adapted to meet the needs of efficient K+ clearance. Furthermore, spatial buffering currents through specialized K+ channels of Müller cells greatly accelerate retinal K+ clearance during and after stimulation.Key words: glia, retina, potassium clearance, sodium–potassium pump, potassium channels.

Abstract:
Graphite has been widely used as a negative electrode material in lithium-ion batteries, and recently it has attracted attention for its use in potassium-ion batteries. In this study, the firstin situX-ray diffraction characterisation of a K/graphite electrochemical cell is performed. Various graphite intercalation compounds are found, including the stage three KC36and stage one KC8compounds,along with the disappearance of the graphite during the potassiation process. These results show new insights on the non-equilibrium states of potassium-ion intercalation into graphite in K/graphite electrochemical cells.

Abstract:
An electrophysiological model describing the dynamics of the intracellular ion concentration and the membrane potential (Vm) in biological cells is presented. The model links passive ion fluxes through channels of sodium, potassium and chloride to active ion fluxes generated by the sodium potassium pump. To model the interaction of Vm to the ionic fluxes Kirchhoff current law is used. Only one Vm-dependent permeability as represented by an inwardly rectifying potassium channel (IKR) is incorporated. It is shown that the resulting system of ordinary differential equations is degenerate. Decomposition of the system into noninteracting subsystems allows a dynamically independent description of the currents of sodium and potassium in relation to Vm. Physical and mathematical arguments for the decomposition into subsystems are presented. Analysis of the model show hysteresis properties that can account for the experimentally-observed bistability in skeletal and heart muscles fibers.

Abstract:
Cochlear marginal cells and vestibular dark cells transport potassium into the inner ear endolymph, a potassium-rich fluid, the homeostasis of which is essential for hearing and balance. We have formulated an integrated mathematical model of ion transport across these epithelia that incorporates the biophysical properties of the major ion transporters and channels located in the apical and basolateral membranes of the constituent cells. The model is constructed for both open- and short-circuit situations to test the extremes of functional capacity of the epithelium and predicts the steady-state voltages, ion concentrations, and transepithelial currents as a function of various transporter and channel densities. We validate the model by establishing that the cells are capable of vectorial ion transport consistent with several experimental measurements. The model indicates that cochlear marginal cells do not make a significant direct contribution to the endocochlear potential and illustrates how changes to the activity of specific transport proteins lead to reduced K+ flux across the marginal and dark cell layers. In particular, we investigate the mechanisms of loop diuretic ototoxicity and diseases with hearing loss in which K+ and Cl− transport are compromised, such as Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome and Bartter syndrome, type IV, respectively. Such simulations demonstrate the utility of compartmental modeling in investigating the role of ion homeostasis in inner ear physiology and pathology.

Abstract:
We developed ion-selective field-effect transistor (FET) sensors with floating electrodes for the monitoring of the potassium ion release by the stimulation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) on PC12 cells. Here, ion-selective valinomycin-polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membranes were coated on the floating electrode-based carbon nanotube (CNT) FETs to build the sensors. The sensors could selectively measure potassium ions with a minimum detection limit of 1 nM. We utilized the sensor for the real-time monitoring of the potassium ion released from a live cell stimulated by nicotine. Notably, this method also allowed us to quantitatively monitor the cell responses by agonists and antagonists of nAChRs. These results suggest that our ion-selective CNT-FET sensor has potential uses in biological and medical researches such as the monitoring of ion-channel activity and the screening of drugs.

Abstract:
Since the first recordings of single potassium channel activities in the plasma membrane of guard cells more than 25 years ago, patch-clamp studies discovered a variety of ion channels in all cell types and plant species under inspection. Their properties differed in a cell type- and cell membrane-dependent manner. Guard cells, for which the existence of plant potassium channels was initially documented, advanced to a versatile model system for studying plant ion channel structure, function, and physiology. Interestingly, one of the first identified potassium-channel genes encoding the Shaker-type channel KAT1 was shown to be highly expressed in guard cells. KAT1-type channels from Arabidopsis thaliana and its homologs from other species were found to encode the K+-selective inward rectifiers that had already been recorded in early patch-clamp studies with guard cells. Within the genome era, additional Arabidopsis Shaker-type channels appeared. All nine members of the Arabidopsis Shaker family are localized at the plasma membrane, where they either operate as inward rectifiers, outward rectifiers, weak voltage-dependent channels, or electrically silent, but modulatory subunits. The vacuole membrane, in contrast, harbors a set of two-pore K+ channels. Just very recently, two plant anion channel families of the SLAC/SLAH and ALMT/QUAC type were identified. SLAC1/SLAH3 and QUAC1 are expressed in guard cells and mediate Slow- and Rapid-type anion currents, respectively, that are involved in volume and turgor regulation. Anion channels in guard cells and other plant cells are key targets within often complex signaling networks. Here, the present knowledge is reviewed for the plant ion channel biology. Special emphasis is drawn to the molecular mechanisms of channel regulation, in the context of model systems and in the light of evolution.

Abstract:
Deoxygenation causes an increase in passive Na and K movements across the membrane of the sickle erythrocyte. Some investigators find that these ion movements are accompanied by cell dehydration, while others find no evidence for cell water loss with sickling. Because gelation of hemoglobin S would be enhanced by cell water loss, we reinvestigated Na and K movements in sickle cells to define further the role that ion movements might play in the pathogenesis of sickling. With deoxygenation, we found that sickle cells gained Na and lost K without losing cell water. These net ion movements were not seen in control red blood cells. For sickle cells, deoxygenation also increased passive unidirectional influxes of Na and K, effects not observed when control red blood cells were deoxygenated. The deoxygenation-induced passive influxes of Na and K in sickle cells were not diminished by anion substitution or by the addition of the diuretic furosemide. We also found differences in passive Na and K fluxes between oxygenated sickle cells and normal red blood cells. The addition of furosemide or replacement of Cl with NO3 or SCN, maneuvers that largely reduced passive Na and K movements in oxygenated normal cells, had no effect on Na and K movements in oxygenated sickle cells. These findings militate against the idea that solute and water loss occur as a consequence of deoxygenation but do indicate that there are acquired membrane abnormalities in sickle red blood cells.

Abstract:
Ion channels, specifically those controlling the flux of potassium across cell membranes, have recently been shown to exhibit an important role in the pathophysiology of glioma, the most common primary central nervous system tumor with a poor prognosis. Potassium channels are grouped into four subfamilies differing by their domain structure, gating mechanisms, and functions. Pertinent literature indicates the vital functions of potassium channels in many aspects of glioma carcinogenesis, including proliferation, migration, and apoptosis. The dysfunction of potassium channels can result in pro-proliferative signals that are highly related to calcium signaling as well. Moreover, this dysfunction can feed into migration and metastasis, most likely by increasing the osmotic pressure of cells allowing the cells to initiate the “escape” and “invasion” of capillaries. Reducing the expression or channel blockage has shown efficacy in reducing the proliferation and infiltration of glioma cells as well as inducing apoptosis, priming several approaches to target potassium channels in gliomas pharmacologically. This review summarizes the current knowledge on potassium channels, their contribution to oncogenic transformations in glioma, and the existing perspectives on utilizing them as potential targets for therapy.
