Hypoxia augments the calcium‐activated chloride current carried by anoctamin‐1 in cardiac vascular endothelial cells of neonatal mice

Abstract

Ano1 formed CaCC in CVECs of neonatal mice. Hypoxia enhances Ano1-mediated ICl ( C a) density via increasing its expression, altering the ratio of its splicing variants, sensitivity to membrane voltage and to Ca(2+) . Ano1 may play a role in the pathophysiological processes during ischaemia in heart, and therefore, Ano1 might be a potential therapeutic target to prevent ischaemic damage.
