Possible Contribution of Inflammation-Associated Hypoxia to Increased K2P5.1 K+ Channel Expression in CD4+ T cells of the Mouse Model for Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Previous studies have reported the up-regulation of the two-pore domain K+ channel K2P5.1 in the CD4+ T cells of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as well as in a mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the mechanisms underlying this up-regulation remain unclear. Inflammation-associated hypoxia is involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, such as IBD, MS, and RA, and T cells are exposed to a hypoxic environment during their recruitment from inflamed tissues to secondary lymphoid tissues. We herein investigated whether inflammation-associated hypoxia is attributable to the increased expression and activity of K2P5.1 in the splenic CD4+ T cells of chemically-induced IBD mode
