The KCNH1 gene encodes the Kv10.1 (Eag1) ion channel, a member of the EAG (ether-à-go-go) family of voltage-gated potassium channels. Recent studies have demonstrated that KCHN1 mutations are implicated in Temple-Baraitser and Zimmermann-Laband syndromes and other forms of developmental deficits that all present with mental retardation and epilepsy, suggesting that Kv10.1 might be important for cognitive development in humans. Although the Kv10.1 channel is mainly expressed in the mammalian brain, its ectopic expression occurs in 70% of human cancers. Cancer cells and tumors expressing Kv10.1 acquire selective advantages that favor cancer progression through molecular mechanisms that involve several cellular pathways, indicating that protein-protein interactions may be important for Kv10.1 influence in cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. Several studies on transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of Kv10.1 expression have shown interesting mechanistic insights about Kv10.1 role in oncogenesis, increasing the importance of identifying the cellular factors that regulate Kv10.1 expression in tumors.

Protein-protein interaction plays a key role in the regulation of biological processes. The human potassium (HERG) channel is encoded by the ether-à-go-go-related gene (herg), and its activity may be regulated by association with other cellular proteins. To identify cellular proteins that might play a role in the regulation of the HERG channel, we screened a human heart cDNA library with the N terminus of HERG using a yeast 2-hybrid system, and identified caveolin-1 as a potential HERG partner. The interaction between these 2 proteins was confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation assay, and their overlapping subcellular localization was demonstrated by fluorescence immunocytochemistry. The physiologic implication of the protein-protein interaction was studied in whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology experiments. A significant increase in HERG current amplitude and a faster deactivation of tail current were observed in HEK293/HERG cells in a membrane lipid rafts disruption model and caveolin-1 knocked down cells by RNA interference. Alternatively, when caveolin-1 was overexpressed, the HERG current amplitude was significantly reduced and the tail current was deactivated more slowly. Taken together, these data indicate that HERG channels interact with caveolin-1 and are negatively regulated by this interaction. The finding from this study clearly demonstrates the regulatory role of caveolin-1 on HERG channels, and may help to understand biochemical events leading to arrhythmogenesis in the long QT syndrome in cardiac patients.

Abstract: Transient (TNDM) and Permanent (PNDM) Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus are rare conditions occurring in about 1: 300,000 live births. In TNDM growth retarded infants develop diabetes in the first few weeks of life only to go into remission in a few months with possible relapse to a permanent diabetes state usually around adolescence or as adults. We believe that pancreatic dysfunction in this condition is maintained throughout life with relapse initiated at times of metabolic stress such as puberty or pregnancy. In PNDM, insulin secretory failure occurs in the late fetal or early postnatal period. A number of conditions are associated with PNDM, some of which have been elucidated at the molecular levels. Among those, the very recently elucidated mutations in KCNJ11 and ABCC8 gene, encoding the Kir6.2 and SUR1 subunit of the pancreatic KATP channel involved in regulation of insulin secretion accounts for one third to a half of the PNDM cases. Patients with TNDM are more likely to have intrauterine growth retardation and less likely to develop ketoacidosis than patients with PNDM. In TNDM, patients are younger at the diagnosis of diabetes and have lower initial insulin requirements. Considerable overlap occurs between the two groups, so that TNDM cannot be distinguished from PNDM based on clinical features. Very early onset diabetes mellitus seems to be unrelated to autoimmunity in most instances. Recurrent diabetes is common in patients with “transient” neonatal diabetes mellitus and, consequently, prolonged follow-up is imperative. Molecular analysis of chromosome 6 anomalies, the KCNJ11 and ABCC8 genes encoding Kir6.2 and SUR1 provide a tool to identify transient from permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus in the neonatal period. This analysis also has potentially important therapeutic consequences leading to transfer some patients, those with mutations in KCNJ11 and ABCC8 from insulin therapy to sulfonylureas. Realizing how difficult it is to take care of a child of this age with diabetes mellitus should prompt clinicians to transfer these children to specialized centers. Insulin therapy and high caloric intake are the basis of the treatment. Insulin pump may offer an interesting therapeutic tool in this age group in experienced hands. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

The role of transport proteins in the distribution of drugs in various tissues has obvious implications for drug effects. Recent reports indicate that such transporters are present not only in the liver, intestine, or blood-brain barrier but also in the heart. The objective of our study was to determine whether treatment of animals with verapamil, a well-known L-type calcium channel blocker with modulatory properties of membrane transporters, would alter distribution and cardiac electrophysiological effects of an IKr blocker. Male guinea pigs (n = 72) were treated with either saline or verapamil at various doses (1.5 to 15 mg/kg) and for various durations (1 to 7 d). Animals were sacrified 24 h after the last dose of verapamil (or saline), and their hearts were isolated and retroperfused with cisapride, a gastrokinetic drug with IKr blockade properties. In hearts obtained from animals treated with vehicle, 50 nmol/L cisapride prolonged MAPD90 by 15 ± 5 ms vs. 36 ± 8 ms in hearts from animals treated with verapamil 15 mg·kg-1·d-1 for 5 d (p < 0.01). Treatment effects were dose- and time-dependent. Cardiac myocytes isolated from animals treated with vehicle or verapamil were incubated for 3 h with 100 ng/mL cisapride. Intracellular concentrations of cisapride in cardiac myocytes from animals treated with verapamil were 1.6-fold higher than those measured in myocytes from animals treated with vehicle (p < 0.01). The increase in intracellular concentrations of cisapride and potentiation of cisapride electrophysiological effects suggest that chronic treatment with drugs such as verapamil may modulate drug effects on the QT interval because of an increased access to intracellular binding sites on IKr channels.

Andersen's syndrome (AS) is a complex disorder characterized by a triad of symptoms: periodic paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias, and developmental disorders (Andersen 1971). It is a rare pathology, dominant hereditary, associated with genetic mutations of the KCNJ2 gene (Plaster 2001) that encodes the inward rectifier potassium channel Kir2.1. Kir2.1 is known to play a major role in stabilizing resting cell potential and in the late phase of repolarization of cardiac action potential. Functional characterizations of these mutations were performed in vitro and ex vivo and showed the dominant negative effect of mutations on this channel. Progress has been made in understanding the roles of this channel in muscle and heart tissue (Zaritsky 2001). However, few studies have addressed the role of the Kir2.1 channel in developmental manifestations, including its role in non-excitable cells. In addition, the invalidation (KO) of the KCNJ2 gene in mice is lethal within hours of birth due to cleft palate (Zaritsky 2000, Dahal 2012). This early post-natal mortality makes in vivo studies difficult, particularly those to assess its role in adult tissues. An alternative is the use of an in vitro model involving human induced pluripotent cells (iPS) (Takahashi 2007) that are capable of being differentiated in all cell types. Dr. Bendahhou's team has previously shown that the Kir2.1 functional channel is necessary for bone formation in a model of myoblast differentiation into osteoblasts (Sacco 2015). In addition, they generated iPS from muscle biopsies of healthy individuals and AS patients (Pini 2016). We have also shown that the absence of Kir2.1 in osteoblastic and chondrocytic differentiation impacts not only matrix production but also the expression of the main genes of these two lineages (Pini 2018). In osteoblastogenesis, activity of the Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling pathway is decreased in AS cells (Pini 2018). My project focuses on determining the role of the Kir2.1 channel in the BMP signalling pathway in in vitro osteoblasts. To do this, I have used two cell types. Taking advantage of their differentiation capacity, I used the iPS (healthy and AS) already generated by my team, but also the iPS I have generated, to study the role of Kir2.1 in bone tissue. In parallel, I used a cell line of immortalized fetal human osteoblasts (hFOB) developed by Harris in 1995. A combination of transcriptomic and proteomic analyses, as well as immunohistochemistry, were used to investigate the role of the Kir2.1 potassium channel in key stages of bone morphogenesis.; Le syndrome d'Andersen (AS) est un trouble complexe caractérisé par une triade de symptômes: des paralysies périodiques, des arythmies cardiaques, et des troubles du développement (Andersen 1971). C’est une pathologie rare, héréditaire dominante, associée à des mutations génétiques du gène KCNJ2 (Plaster 2001) qui encode le canal potassique à rectification entrante Kir2.1. Le Kir2.1 est connu pour jouer un rôle majeur dans la stabilisation du potentiel de repos et dans la phase tardive de repolarisation du potentiel d’action cardiaque. Les caractérisations fonctionnelles de ces mutations ont été réalisées in vitro et ex vivo et ont montré l’effet dominant négatif des mutations sur ce canal. Des progrès ont été faits pour comprendre les rôles de ce canal dans les tissus musculaires et cardiaques (Zaritsky 2001). Cependant, peu d’études ont abordé le rôle du canal Kir2.1 dans les manifestations développementales et notamment son rôle dans les cellules non-excitables. De plus, l’invalidation (KO) du gène KCNJ2 chez la souris est létale quelques heures après sa naissance, due à une fente palatine (Zaritsky 2000, Dahal 2012). Cette mortalité post-natale précoce rend les études in vivo difficiles, notamment celles visant à évaluer son rôle dans les tissus adultes. Une alternative est l’utilisation d’un modèle in vitro impliquant des cellules pluripotentes induites humaines (iPS) (Takahashi 2007) qui sont capables d’être différenciées dans tous les types cellulaires. L’équipe du Dr. Bendahhou a précédemment montré que le canal fonctionnel Kir2.1 était nécessaire à la formation de l’os, dans un modèle de différentiation de myoblastes en ostéoblastes (Sacco 2015). De plus, ils ont généré des iPS à partir de biopsies musculaires de personnes saines et de patients atteints du AS (Pini 2016). Nous avons également montré que l’absence du Kir2.1 dans la différenciation ostéoblastique et chondrocytaire impactait la production de matrice mais aussi l’expression des gènes principaux de ces deux lignages (Pini 2018). Dans l’ostéoblastogenèse, l’activité́ de la voie de signalisation Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) est diminuée dans les cellules AS (Pini 2018). Mon projet se focalise sur la détermination du rôle du canal Kir2.1 dans la voie de signalisation BMP dans les ostéoblastes in vitro. Pour ce faire, j’ai utilisé deux types cellulaires. En profitant de leur capacité de différenciation, j’ai utilisé les iPS (saines et AS) déjà générées par l’équipe, mais aussi des iPS générées par mes soins, afin d’étudier le rôle du Kir2.1 dans les tissus osseux. En parallèle, j’ai utilisé une lignée d’ostéoblastes humains fœtaux immortalisés (hFOB) mis au point par Harris en 1995. Une combinaison d'analyses transcriptomiques et protéomiques, ainsi que d’immunohistochimie, ont été utilisées pour déterminer le rôle du canal potassique Kir2.1 dans les étapes clés de la morphogenèse osseuse.

At least four genes encoding plasma membrane inward K + channels (K in channels) are expressed in Arabidopsis guard cells. A double mutant plant was engineered by disruption of a major K in channel gene and expression of a dominant negative channel construct. Using the patch-clamp technique revealed that this mutant was totally deprived of guard cell K in channel (GCK in ) activity, providing a model to investigate the roles of this activity in the plant. GCK in activity was found to be an essential effector of stomatal opening triggered by membrane hyperpolarization and thereby of blue light-induced stomatal opening at dawn. It improved stomatal reactivity to external or internal signals (light, CO 2 availability, and evaporative demand). It protected stomatal function against detrimental effects of Na + when plants were grown in the presence of physiological concentrations of this cation, probably by enabling guard cells to selectively and rapidly take up K + instead of Na + during stomatal opening, thereby preventing deleterious effects of Na + on stomatal closure. It was also shown to be a key component of the mechanisms that underlie the circadian rhythm of stomatal opening, which is known to gate stomatal responses to extracellular and intracellular signals. Finally, in a meteorological scenario with higher light intensity during the first hours of the photophase, GCK in activity was found to allow a strong increase (35%) in plant biomass production. Thus, a large diversity of approaches indicates that GCK in activity plays pleiotropic roles that crucially contribute to plant adaptation to fluctuating and stressing natural environments.

Most plant species establish mycorrhizal symbiosis, which represents a major biological phenomenonin terrestrial ecosystems. Improvement of host plant mineral nutrition appears as an essential functionof this interaction. The fungal partner absorbs mineral nutrients from the soil and transfers part ofthem to the host plant. While membrane transport systems play thereby a key role in the symbioticinteraction, very few of them are characterised on a molecular level. The objective of this project is toidentify such transport systems in the ectomycorrhizal fungus Hebeloma cylindrosporum and then tocharacterise their function in the exchange of solutes with the plant host. Hebeloma cylindrosporumwill possibly become an interesting model as genetic analysis are feasible (e.g. the whole cycle, fromspore to spore, can be achieved in vitro). Our first goal was to produce a cDNA library, and then toestablish, by systematic sequencing and in silico analysis, an EST database (Expressed Sequence Tag).We identified approximately 2700 transcripts after in silico clustering. This database and its analysis isaccessible to the scientific community via a web site. Bioinformatic analysis revealed a large numberof putative transport systems in this database. We focalised our interest on one gene encoding a Shakerpotassium channel named HcSKC (for H. cylindrosporum Shaker K+ Channel). After screening of agenomic DNA library from Hebeloma h1 strain, several copies of this gene were identified andanalysed regarding their structure. We show that multicopy HcSKC sequences (that hamperedexperimental and bioinformatic analyses) are typical of h1 strain, whereas other Hebeloma strains andspecies possess a single copy. Based on sequence analysis, HcSKC code for an outward channel, thatmight thus be involved in fungal K+ secretion towards the host plant. This hypothesis will be verifiedby functional expression in heterologous systems.; La symbiose mycorhizienne concerne la majorité des espèces végétales et constitue un phénomènebiologique majeur dans les écosystèmes terrestres. Une de ses fonctions essentielles est l'améliorationde la nutrition minérale de la plante hôte. Le partenaire fongique prélève des nutriments minéraux dansle sol et les transmet à la plante. Bien qu'ils soient au cœur de l'interaction symbiotique, lesmécanismes de transport membranaire responsables de ces échanges sont encore peu caractérisés surle plan moléculaire. Le programme dans lequel s'inscrit notre travail a pour objectif d'identifier de telstransporteurs chez le champignon ectomycorhizien Hebeloma cylindrosporum, puis de préciser lafonction que ces systèmes jouent dans les échanges de solutés avec la plante hôte. H. cylindrosporumest susceptible de devenir un modèle très intéressant parce qu'il se prête aux analyses génétiques, avecun cycle biologique entièrement maîtrisé in vitro. Notre premier objectif a été de produire une banqued'ADNc puis, par séquençage systématique et analyse in silico, une ressource d'EST ("ExpressedSequenced Tags"). Nous avons ainsi identifié environ 2700 transcrits (après assemblage in silico desséquences), et mis cette ressource ainsi que son analyse bioinformatique à la disposition de lacommunauté scientifique sur un site web. L'analyse bioinformatique a révélé un grand nombre desystèmes de transport membranaire potentiels au sein de cette ressource. Nous nous sommes intéressésen particulier à un gène codant un canal potassique de type Shaker, que nous avons appelé HcSKC(pour H. cylindrosporum Shaker K+ Channel). Après criblage d'une banque d'ADN génomiqueprovenant de la souche h1 d'Hebeloma, nous avons identifié plusieurs copies de ce gène et analysé leurstructure. Nous montrons que la présence de plusieurs copies d'HcSKC (qui accroît la difficulté desanalyses expérimentales et bioinformatiques) est une caractéristique de la souche h1 puisque d'autressouches ainsi que d'autres espèces d'hébélomes ne présentent qu'une seule copie de ce gène. Sur labase de sa séquence, le canal codé par HcSKC est susceptible de jouer un rôle dans la sécrétion de K+par le champignon en direction de la plante. Cette hypothèse devra être vérifiée par expressionfonctionnelle en système hétérologue.

PRL (prolactin) has been implicated in the proliferation and differentiation of numerous tissues, including the prostate gland. However, the PRL-R (PRL receptor) signal transduction pathway, leading to the stimulation of cell proliferation, remains unclear and has yet to be mapped. The present study was undertaken to develop a clear understanding of the mechanisms involved in this pathway and, in particular, to determine the role of K(+) channels. We used androgen-sensitive prostate cancer (LNCaP) cells whose proliferation is known to be stimulated by PRL. Reverse transcriptase PCR analysis showed that LNCaP cells express a long form of PRL-R, but do not produce its intermediate isoform. Patch-clamp techniques showed that the application of 5 nM PRL increased both the macroscopic K(+) current amplitude and the single K(+)-channel open probability. This single-channel activity increase was reduced by the tyrosine kinase inhibitors genistein, herbimycin A and lavandustine A, thereby indicating that tyrosine kinase phosphorylation is required in PRL-induced K(+) channel stimulation. PRL enhances p59( fyn ) phosphorylation by a factor of 2 after a 10 min application in culture. In addition, where an antip59( fyn ) antibody is present in the patch pipette, PRL no longer increases K(+) current amplitude. Furthermore, the PRL-stimulated proliferation is inhibited by the K(+) channel inhibitors alpha-dendrotoxin and tetraethylammonium. Thus, as K(+) channels are known to be involved in LNCaP cell proliferation, we suggest that K(+) channel modulation by PRL, via p59( fyn ) pathway, is the primary ionic event in PRL signal transduction, triggering cell proliferation.

- Abstract
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a group of monogenic diseases that results in primary defects in insulin secretion and dominantly inherited forms of nonautoimmune diabetes. Although many genes may be associated with monogenic diabetes, heterozygous mutations in 6 of them are responsible for the majority of cases of MODY. Glucokinase (GCK)-MODY is due to mutations in the glucokinase gene, 3 MODY subtypes are associated with mutations in the hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF) transcription factors, and 2 others with mutations in ABCC8 and KCNJ11, which encode the subunits of the ATP-dependent potassium channel in pancreatic beta cells. GCK-MODY and HNF1A-MODY are the most common subtypes. The clinical presentation of MODY subtypes has been reported to differ according to the gene involved, and the diagnosis of MODY may be considered in various clinical circumstances. However, except in patients with GCK-MODY whose phenotype is very homogeneous, in most cases the penetrance and expressivity of a given molecular abnormality vary greatly among patients and, conversely, alterations in various genes may lead to similar phenotypes. Moreover, differential diagnosis among more common forms of diabetes may be difficult, particularly with type 2 diabetes. Thus, careful assessment of the personal and family histories of patients with diabetes is mandatory to select those in whom genetic screening is worthwhile. The diagnosis of monogenic diabetes has many consequences in terms of prognosis, therapeutics and family screening., (Copyright © 2015 Canadian Diabetes Association. Published by Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
While the majority of cases of primary aldosteronism (PA) are sporadic, four forms of autosomal-dominant inheritance have been described: familial hyperaldosteronism (FH) types I to IV. FH-I, also called glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism, is characterized by early and severe hypertension, usually before the age of 20 years. It is due to the formation of a chimeric gene between the adjacent CYP11B2 and CYP11B1 genes (coding for aldosterone synthase and 11β-hydroxylase, respectively). FH-I is often associated with family history of stroke before 40years of age. FH-II is clinically and biochemically indistinguishable from sporadic forms of PA and is only diagnosed on the basis of two or more affected family members. No causal genes have been identified so far and no genetic test is available. FH-III is characterized by severe and early-onset hypertension in children and young adults, resistant to treatment and associated with severe hypokalemia. Mild forms, resembling FH-II, have been described. FH-III is due to gain-of-function mutations in the KCNJ5 gene. Recently, a new autosomal-dominant form of familial PA, FH-IV, associated with mutations in the CACNA1H gene, was described in patients with hypertension and PA before the age of 10years. In rare cases, PA may be associated with complex neurologic disorder involving epileptic seizures and cerebral palsy (Primary Aldosteronism, Seizures, and Neurologic Abnormalities [PASNA]) due to de novo germline CACNA1D mutations., (Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS.

- Abstract
Antibodies to different membrane proteins, namely acetylcholine receptor, muscle specific kinase and low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4, at the neuromuscular junction are well recognised in myasthenia gravis, although the mechanisms responsible for the muscle distribution and fluctuations in function are still not very clear, and some of the issues are discussed below. In addition, the involvement of antibodies to the potassium channel complex proteins in neuromyotonia, help to lead to a better understanding of immunotherapy-responsive central nervous system diseases., (Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS.
