| Research Abstract |
The present study revealed that, in non-excitable cells such as endothelial cells, lymphocytes, chondrocytes and airway cilliated cell, Ca2+-activated K+ (KCa) channels and store-operated Ca2+ (SOC) channels play significant roles in the positive feedback mechanism for the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). This [Ca2+]i elevation elicites cellular responses to various types of stimula under physiological conditions or is involved in pathological processes. In brain capillary endothelial cells and chondrocytes, Ca2+-release activated Ca2+ channel is a major component of SOC channels and regulates cell proliferation. In T lymphocytes isolated from inflammatory disease model mice, the change in expression level of intermediate-conductance KCa channel is related to pathological processes. In ciliated cells, ATP-sensitive K+ channel contribute to the positive feedback mechanism for [Ca2+]i, and facilitate ciliary movement and consequently promote airway clearance.
