RNA-Sequencing Analyses Demonstrate the Involvement of Canonical Transient Receptor Potential Channels in Rat Tooth Germ Development.

ABSTRACT: Tooth development depends on multiple molecular interactions between the dental epithelium and mesenchyme, which are derived from ectodermal and ectomesenchymal cells, respectively. We report on a systematic RNA sequencing analysis of transcriptional expression levels from the bud to hard tissue formation stages of rat tooth germ development. We found that GNAO1, ENO1, EFNB1, CALM1, SIAH2, ATP6V0A1, KDELR2, GTPBP1, POLR2C, SORT1, and members of the canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channel family are involved in tooth germ development. Furthermore, Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK8) and Transwell migration assays were performed to explore the effects of these differentially expressed genes (DEGs) on the proliferation and migration of dental pulp stem cells. Immunostaining revealed that TRPC channels are expressed at varying levels during odontogenesis. The identified genes represent novel candidates that are likely to be vital for rat tooth germ development. Together, the results provide a valuable resource to elucidate the gene regulatory mechanisms underlying mammalian tooth germ development.

Project description:Circulating hormones stimulate the phospholipase C? (PLC)/Ca(2+) influx pathway to regulate numerous cell functions, including vascular tone. It was proposed previously that Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2))-dependent store-operated Ca(2+) influx channels mediate hormone-induced contractions in isolated arteries, because bromoenol lactone (BEL), a potent irreversible inhibitor of iPLA(2), inhibited such contractions. However, the effects of BEL on other channels implicated in mediating hormone-induced vessel contractions, specifically voltage-gated Ca(2+) (Ca(V)1.2) and transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels, have not been defined clearly. Using isometric tension measurements, we found that thapsigargin-induced contractions were ?34% of those evoked by phenylephrine or KCl. BEL completely inhibited not only thapsigargin- but also phenylephrine- and KCl-induced ring contractions, suggesting that Ca(V)1.2 and receptor-operated TRPC channels also may be sensitive to BEL. Therefore, we investigated the effects of BEL on heterologously expressed Ca(V)1.2 and TRPC channels in human embryonic kidney cells, a model system that allows probing of individual protein function without interference from other signaling elements of native cells. We found that low micromolar concentrations of BEL inhibited Ca(V)1.2, TRPC5, TRPC6, and heteromeric TRPC1-TRPC5 channels in an iPLA(2)-independent manner. BEL also attenuated PLC activity, suggesting that the compound may inhibit TRPC channel activity in part by interfering with an initial PLC-dependent step required for TRPC channel activation. Conversely, BEL did not affect endogenous voltage-gated K(+) channels in human embryonic kidney cells. Our findings support the hypothesis that iPLA(2)-dependent store-operated Ca(2+) influx channels and iPLA(2)-independent hormone-operated TRPC channels can serve as smooth muscle depolarization triggers to activate Ca(V)1.2 channels and to regulate vascular tone.
