Article Dysfunctional K+ Homeostasis as a Driver for Brain Inflammation(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024) Ozsoy, Nagihan; Dallas, Mark L.The central nervous system (CNS) relies on precise regulation of potassium ion (K+) concentrations to maintain physiology. This regulation involves complex cellular and molecular mechanisms that work in concert to regulate both intracellular and extracellular K+ levels. Inflammation, a key physiological response, encompasses a series of cell-specific events leading to inflammasome activation. Perturbations in K+-sensitive processes can result in either chronic or uncontrolled inflammation, highlighting the intricate relationship between K+ homeostasis and inflammatory signalling. This review explores molecular targets that influence K+ homeostasis and have been implicated in inflammatory cascades, offering potential therapeutic avenues for managing inflammation. We examine both cell-specific and common molecular targets across different cell types, providing a comprehensive overview of the interplay between K+ regulation and inflammation in the CNS. By elucidating these mechanisms, we identify leads for drug discovery programmes aimed at modulating inflammatory responses. Additionally, we highlight potential consequences of targeting individual molecular entities for therapeutic purposes, emphasizing the need for a nuanced approach in developing anti-inflammatory strategies. This review considers current knowledge on K+-sensitive inflammatory processes within the CNS, offering critical insights into the molecular underpinnings of inflammation and potential therapeutic interventions. Our findings underscore the importance of considering K+ homeostasis in the development of targeted therapies for inflammatory conditions within the CNS. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 19Nacl Tolerance in Lycopersicon Pennellii Introgression Lines: Qtl Related To Physiological Responses(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2011) Frary, A.; Keleş, D.; Pinar, H.; Göl, D.; Doğanlar, S.The growth and ion content of salt sensitive Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. M82 and salt tolerant L. pennellii Correll accession LA716 were examined under both control and stress conditions (150 mM NaCl). L. esculentum grew more vigorously than L. pennellii under optimal conditions, however, L. pennellii was able to maintain its growth better than cultivated tomato when the plants were exposed to salinity. Sodium content of both L. esculentum and L. pennellii increased as a result of NaCl stress. In addition, both species showed reduced potassium and calcium content due to salinity. The physiological traits were also measured in a population of 52 L. pennellii introgression lines grown under both normal and stress conditions. A total of 311 quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified for the studied traits: plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, leaf and root fresh and dry mass, and sodium, potassium and calcium contents. Some of the loci (124) were identified under both control and stress conditions while 86 QTL were identified only under non-stress conditions and 101 loci were identified only under NaCl stress.
