Uroguanylin increases Ca2+ concentration in astrocytes via guanylate cyclase C-independent signaling pathway.
To investigate the cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)/guanylate cyclase C (GC-C)-independent signaling pathway in astrocytes, which are a suitable model due to their lack of GC-C expression. ⋯ The UGN effects on astrocytes via a Ca2+-dependent signaling pathway could be involved in the modulation of neuronal activity.
