Capillary Endothelial Na+, K+, ATPase Transporter Homeostasis and a New Theory for Migraine Pathophysiology
Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, 10/27/09
Harrington M et al. – The authors propose a theoretical mechanism for aura and migraine when NKAT activity shifts outside normal limits: (1) CEC NKAT activity below a lower limit increases [K+]e, facilitates cortical spreading depression, and causes aura; (2) CEC NKAT activity above an upper limit elevates [Na+]e, increases neuronal excitability, and causes migraine; (3) migraine–without–aura may arise from CEC NKAT over–activity without requiring a prior decrease in activity and its consequent spreading depression; (4) migraine triggers disturb, and treatments improve, CEC NKAT homeostasis; (5) CEC NKAT–induced regulation of neural and vasomotor excitability coordinates vascular and neuronal activities, and includes occasional pathology from CEC NKAT–induced apoptosis or cerebral infarction.
