Like other cnidarians, the freshwater organism Hydra is characterized by the possession of cnidocytes (stinging cells). Most cnidocytes are located on hydra tentacles, where they are organized along with sensory cells and ganglion cells into battery complexes. The function of the battery complexes is to integrate multiple types of stimuli for the regulation of cnidocyte discharge. The molecular mechanisms controlling the discharge of cnidocytes are not yet fully understood, but it is known that discharge depends on extracellular Ca and that mechanically induced cnidocyte discharge can be enhanced by the presence of prey extracts and other chemicals. Experiments in this paper show that a PKD2 (polycystin 2) transient receptor potential (TRP) channel is expressed in hydra tentacles and bases. PKD2 (TRPP) channels belong to the TRP channel superfamily and are non-selective Ca channels involved in the transduction of both mechanical and chemical stimuli in other organisms. Non-specific PKD2 channel inhibitors Neo (neomycin) and Gd (gadolinium) inhibit both prey capture and cnidocyte discharge in hydra. The PKD2 activator Trip (triptolide) enhances cnidocyte discharge in both starved and satiated hydra and reduces the inhibition of cnidocyte discharge caused by Neo. PKD1 and 2 proteins are known to act together to transduce mechanical and chemical stimuli; in situ hybridization experiments show that a PKD1 gene is expressed in hydra tentacles and bases, suggesting that polycystins play a direct or indirect role in cnidocyte discharge.

K þ channels regulate a multitude of biological processes and play important roles in a variety of diseases by controlling potassium flow across cell membranes. They are widely expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system. As a malignant tumor derived from nerve epithelium, glioma has the characteristics of high incidence, high recurrence rate, high mortality rate, and low cure rate. Since glioma cells show invasive growth, current surgical methods cannot completely remove tumors. Adjuvant chemotherapy is still needed after surgery. Because the blood-brain barrier and other factors lead to a lower effective concentration of chemotherapeutic drugs in the tumor, the recurrence rate of residual lesions is extremely high. Therefore, new therapeutic methods are needed. Numerous studies have shown that different K þ channel subtypes are differentially expressed in glioma cells and are involved in the regulation of the cell cycle of glioma cells to arrest them at different stages of the cell cycle. Increasing evidence suggests that K þ channels express in glioma cells and regulate glioma cell behaviors such as cell cycle, proliferation and apoptosis. This review article aims to summarize the current knowledge on the function of K þ channels in glioma, suggests K þ channels participating in the development of glioma.
