Mitochondrial Calcium Uptake Promotes Mitochondrial Activation and Hyperactivated Motility During Human Sperm Capacitation

Pilar Irigoyen, Juan José Ferreira, Adriana Cassina, Shweta Bhagwat, Nikita Peramsetty, Rossana Sapiro, Celia Maria Santi

This study shows that mitochondrial calcium uptake via CatSper and MCU is essential for hyperactivated motility during human sperm capacitation, similar to mouse sperm.

Activation of Vasopressin Receptor 1A by Vasopressin Enhances Myometrial Smooth Muscle Cell Excitability by Inhibiting the Potassium Channel SLO2.1

Juan José Ferreira, Lindsey N. Kent, Ana Gonzalez-Cota, Nikita Peramsetty, Grace C. Whitter, Ethan Li, Sariela Spivak, Xiaofeng J Ma, Sarah K. England, Celia Maria Santi

This study shows AVP activates AVPR1A in myometrial cells, inhibits SLO2.1 potassium channels, depolarizes cells, and enhances Ca²⁺ entry, increasing excitability and contraction.

SLO2.1/NALCN Functional Complex Activity in Mouse Myometrial Smooth Muscle Cells During Pregnancy.

Juan José Ferreira, Lindsey N. Kent, Ronald McCarthy, Alice Butler, Xiaofeng Ma, Nikita Peramsetty, Chinwendu Amazu, Alexander Zhang, Grace C. Whitter, Ethan Li, Sarah K. England, Celia Maria Santi

This study investigates the role of the SLO2.1/NALCN complex in regulating mouse myometrial smooth muscle cell membrane potential across pregnancy, finding its activity decreases as pregnancy progresses.
