Potent, selective, and subunit-dependent activation of TRPC5 channels by a xanthine derivative.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:The TRPC1, TRPC4, and TRPC5 proteins form homotetrameric or heterotetrameric, calcium-permeable cation channels that are involved in various disease states. Recent research has yielded specific and potent xanthine-based TRPC1/4/5 inhibitors. Here, we investigated the possibility of xanthine-based activators of these channels. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH:An analogue of the TRPC1/4/5 inhibitor Pico145, AM237, was synthesized and its activity was investigated using HEK cells overexpressing TRPC4, TRPC5, TRPC4-C1, TRPC5-C1, TRPC1:C4 or TRPC1:C5 channels, and in A498 cells expressing native TRPC1:C4 channels. TRPC1/4/5 channel activities were assayed by measuring intracellular concentration of Ca2+ ([Ca2+ ]i ) and by patch-clamp electrophysiology. Selectivity of AM237 was tested against TRPC3, TRPC6, TRPV4, or TRPM2 channels. KEY RESULTS:AM237 potently activated TRPC5:C5 channels (EC50 15-20 nM in [Ca2+ ]i assay) and potentiated their activation by sphingosine-1-phosphate but suppressed activation evoked by (-)-englerin A (EA). In patch-clamp studies, AM237 activated TRPC5:C5 channels, with greater effect at positive voltages, but with lower efficacy than EA. Pico145 competitively inhibited AM237-induced TRPC5:C5 activation. AM237 did not activate TRPC4:C4, TRPC4-C1, TRPC5-C1, TRPC1:C5, and TRPC1:C4 channels, or native TRPC1:C4 channels in A498 cells, but potently inhibited EA-dependent activation of these channels with IC50 values ranging from 0.9 to 7 nM. AM237 (300 nM) did not activate or inhibit TRPC3, TRPC6, TRPV4, or TRPM2 channels. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS:This study suggests the possibility for selective activation of TRPC5 channels by xanthine derivatives and supports the general principle that xanthine-based compounds can activate, potentiate, or inhibit these channels depending on subunit composition.
