Minding the calcium store: Ryanodine receptor activation as a convergent mechanism of PCB toxicity
Open accessAbstract
Chronic low-level polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) exposures remain a significant public health concern since results from epidemiological studies indicate that PCB burden is associated with immune system dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, and impairment of the developing nervous system. Of these various adverse health effects, developmental neurotoxicity has emerged as a particularly vulnerable endpoint in PCB toxicity. Arguably the most pervasive biological effects of PCBs could be mediated by their ability to alter the spatial and temporal fidelity of Ca2+ signals through one or more receptor-mediated processes. This review will focus on our current knowledge of the structure and function of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) in muscle and nerve cells and how PCBs and related non-coplanar structures alter these functions. The molecular and cellular mechanisms by which non-coplanar PCBs and related structures alter local and global Ca2+ signaling properties and the possible short and long-term consequences of these perturbations on neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration are reviewed.

“Nanomolar concentrations of PCB 95 stabilize ryanodine receptors (RyRs) in the open configuration, increasing Ca 2ϩ release from intracellular stores (Pessah et al., 2010).”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Because RyRs are functionally coupled to NMDA receptors (Berridge, 2006;Pessah et al., 2010), our findings suggest that RyRs are required for not only PCB-induced synaptogenesis, but also activity-dependent synaptogenesis, expanding the role for RyRs in neuronal plasticity.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
