Abstract

The Cl(-)/HCO(-) 3anion exchanger 2 (AE2) is known to be involved in intracellular pH (pHi) regulation and transepithelial acid-base transport. Early studies showed that AE2 gene expression is reduced in liver biopsies and blood mononuclear cells from patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), a disease characterized by chronic non-suppurative cholangitis associated with antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA) and other autoimmune phenomena. Microfluorimetric analysis of the Cl(-)/HCO(-) 3 anion exchange (AE) in isolated cholangiocytes showed that the cAMP-stimulated AE activity is diminished in PBC compared to both healthy and diseased controls. More recently, it was found that miR-506 is upregulated in cholangiocytes of PBC patients and that AE2 may be a target of miR-506. Additional evidence for a pathogenic role of AE2 dysregulation in PBC was obtained with Ae2 (-/-) a,b mice, which develop biochemical, histological, and immunologic alterations that resemble PBC (including development of serum AMA). Analysis of HCO(-) 3 transport systems and pHi regulation in cholangiocytes from normal and Ae2 (-/-) a,b mice confirmed that AE2 is the transporter responsible for the Cl(-)/HCO(-) 3exchange in these cells. On the other hand, both Ae2 (+/+) a,b and Ae2 (-/-) a,b mouse cholangiocytes exhibited a Cl(-)-independent bicarbonate transport system, essentially a Na(+)-bicarbonate cotransport (NBC) system, which could contribute to pHi regulation in the absence of AE2.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 January 2024.
All research outputs
#3,866,451
of 26,381,140 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Physiology
#2,070
of 15,838 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#41,645
of 323,006 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Physiology
#18
of 106 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,381,140 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 85th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 15,838 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 323,006 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 106 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
