Abstract.: Upregulation of the Kir2.1 channel during endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in t-BBEC117, an immortalized bovine brain endothelial cell line, caused a sustained increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and a facilitation of cell death. Expressions of Ca2+ influx channels (TR...
