Unfortunately, the biological target(s) that underlies CFP is still partly unknown. Today, ciguatoxins are described to specifically activate voltage-gated sodium channels by interacting with their receptor site 5. But some dispute about the role of gambierol in the CFP story shows up: some describe voltage-gated sodium channels as the target, while others pinpoint voltage-gated potassium channels as targets. Since gambierol was never tested on isolated ion channels before, it was subjected in this work to extensive screening on a panel of 17 ion channels: nine cloned voltage-gated ion channels (mammalian Na<sub>v</sub>1.1–Na<sub>v</sub>1.8 and insect Para) and eight cloned voltage-gated potassium channels (mammalian K<sub>v</sub>1.1–K<sub>v</sub>1.6, hERG and insect <i>Shaker</i>IR) expressed in <i>Xenopus laevis</i> oocytes using two-electrode voltage-clamp technique. All tested sodium channel subtypes are insensitive to gambierol concentrations up to 10 µM. In contrast, K<sub>v</sub>1.2 is the most sensitive voltage-gated potassium channel subtype with almost full block (>97%) and an half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC<sub>50</sub>) of 34.5 nM. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study where the selectivity of gambierol is tested on isolated voltage-gated ion channels. Therefore, these results lead to a better understanding of gambierol and its possible role in CFP and they may also be useful in the development of more effective treatments.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Gambierol, a toxin produced by the dinoflagellate <i>Gambierdiscus toxicus</i>, is a potent blocker of voltage-gated potassium channels","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:17.368041","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"gambierol; ciguatera fish poisoning; voltage-gated potassium channels;voltage-gated sodium channels","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2008,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2020-11-05","DateCreate":"2016-05-29","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000256500300004","VABBcode":"vabb:270534","OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1016/j.toxicon.2008.01.004"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":258043,"PubliDate":2008,"Pagination":"974-983","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"51","Issue":"6","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43961,"SerRR":"Toxicon.
