Spadin inhibits KCNK2. 11 / 11
| 11

reach
"The difference in findings between the two independent studies is likely due to the varied approaches that were used for TREK-1 manipulation; the genetic knockout was used in our study, whereas in the study reported by others, spadin was used to pharmacologically inhibit TREK-1 in cultured cortical neurons."

reach
"Direct inhibition of TREK-1 by spadin may also contribute to enhanced 5-HT neuron excitability."

reach
"Furthermore, spadin was unable to prevent activation of TREK-1 by BL-1249, CDC, or the related bioactive lipid, DHA."

reach
"Moreover, spadin blocks TREK-1 with higher affinity, IC 50 ~ 40-60 nM vs. IC 50 ~ 6 muM for the most used SSRI fluoxetine."

reach
"This hypothesis was validated by the discovery of spadin, that is a sortilin derived peptide and that specifically blocks TREK-1 channels [28], [30]."

reach
"Electrophysiological studies show that spadin efficiently blocks the TREK-1 activity in COS-7 cells, cultured pyramidal neurons, as well as CA3 hippocampal neurons in brain slices of wild-type mice and not in kcnk2 -/- mice, suggesting a specific effect of spadin on the TREK-1 channel."

reach
"Meanwhile, spadin reduces acid induced activity of TREK-1 and TREK-2 tandem heterodimeric channels [XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"Here, we showed that spadin blocked TREK-1 current exactly as it did for the transiently transfected TREK-1 channels (Figure 4A–C)."

reach
"In a previous study, pharmacological inhibition of TREK-1 by spadin increased the proportion of mature spines without affecting spine densities in cultured cortical neurons [24]."

reach
"Electrophysiological studies showed that spadin efficiently blocked the TREK-1 activity in COS-7 cells, cultured hippocampal pyramidal neurons, and CA3 hippocampal neurons in brain slices."

reach
"Recently, we demonstrated that TREK-1 channels are inhibited by spadin, a peptide that represents a new concept in antidepressant drug design [28]."
