Canonical Transient Receptor Potential Channels and Their Link with Cardio/Cerebro-Vascular Diseases.

ABSTRACT: The canonical transient receptor potential channels (TRPCs) constitute a series of nonselective cation channels with variable degrees of Ca2+ selectivity. TRPCs consist of seven mammalian members, TRPC1, TRPC2, TRPC3, TRPC4, TRPC5, TRPC6, and TRPC7, which are further divided into four subtypes, TRPC1, TRPC2, TRPC4/5, and TRPC3/6/7. These channels take charge of various essential cell functions such as contraction, relaxation, proliferation, and dysfunction. This review, organized into seven main sections, will provide an overview of current knowledge about the underlying pathogenesis of TRPCs in cardio/cerebrovascular diseases, including hypertension, pulmonary arterial hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy, atherosclerosis, arrhythmia, and cerebrovascular ischemia reperfusion injury. Collectively, TRPCs could become a group of drug targets with important physiological functions for the therapy of human cardio/cerebro-vascular diseases.

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.
