Project description:The nematode C. elegans uses mechanosensitive neurons to detect bacteria, which are food for worms. These neurons release dopamine to suppress foraging and promote dwelling. Through a screen of genes highly expressed in dopaminergic food-sensing neurons, we identify a K2P-family potassium channel-TWK-2-that damps their activity. Strikingly, loss of TWK-2 restores mechanosensation to neurons lacking the NOMPC-like channel transient receptor potential 4 (TRP-4), which was thought to be the primary mechanoreceptor for tactile food sensing. The alternate mechanoreceptor mechanism uncovered by TWK-2 mutation requires three Deg/ENaC channel subunits: ASIC-1, DEL-3, and UNC-8. Analysis of cell-physiological responses to mechanostimuli indicates that TRP and Deg/ENaC channels work together to set the range of analog encoding of stimulus intensity and to improve signal-to-noise characteristics and temporal fidelity of food-sensing neurons. We conclude that a specialized mechanosensory modality-tactile food sensing-emerges from coordination of distinct force-sensing mechanisms housed in one type of sensory neuron.

Project description:The static magnetic fields (SMFs) impact on biological systems, induce a variety of biological responses, and have been applied to the clinical treatment of diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. In this report, by using human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as a model, we investigated the biological effect of SMFs at a molecular and cellular level. We showed that SMF exposure promotes MSC proliferation and activates the expression of transcriptional factors such as FOS (Fos Proto-Oncogene, AP-1 Transcription Factor Subunit) and EGR1 (Early Growth Response 1). In addition, the expression of signal-transduction proteins p-ERK1/2 and p-JNK oscillate periodically with SMF exposure time. Furthermore, we found that the inhibition of the T-type calcium ion channels negates the biological effects of SMFs on MSCs. Together, we revealed that the SMFs regulate T-type calcium ion channels and mediate MSC proliferation via the MAPK signaling pathways.

Project description:Ion channels and transporters have increasingly recognized roles in cancer progression through the regulation of cell proliferation, migration, and death. Glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) are a source of tumor formation and recurrence in glioblastoma multiforme, a highly aggressive brain cancer, suggesting that ion channel expression may be perturbed in this population. However, little is known about the expression and functional relevance of ion channels that may contribute to GSC malignancy. Using RNA sequencing, we assessed the enrichment of ion channels in GSC isolates and non-tumor neural cell types. We identified a unique set of GSC-enriched ion channels using differential expression analysis that stratify by molecular subtype and are associated with distinct gene mutation signatures. In support of potential clinical relevance, expression of selected GSC-enriched ion channels evaluated in human glioblastoma databases of The Cancer Genome Atlas and Ivy Glioblastoma Atlas Project correlated with patient survival times. Finally, genetic knockdown or pharmacological inhibition of individual or classes of GSC-enriched ion channels constrained growth of GSCs compared to normal neural stem cells. This first-in-kind global examination characterizes ion channels enriched in GSCs and explores their potential clinical relevance to glioblastoma molecular subtypes, gene mutations, survival outcomes, regional tumor expression, and experimental responses to loss-of-function. Together, the data support the potential biological and therapeutic impact of ion channels on GSC malignancy and provide strong rationale for further examination of their mechanistic and therapeutic importance.

Project description:The mechanosensitive ion channels Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) and PIEZO1 transduce physiologic and supraphysiologic magnitudes of mechanical signals in the chondrocyte, respectively. TRPV4 activation promotes chondrogenesis, while PIEZO1 activation by supraphysiologic deformations drives cell death. The mechanisms by which activation of these channels discretely drives changes in gene expression to alter cell behavior remains to be determined. To date, no studies have contrasted the transcriptomic response to activation of these channels, nor has any published data attempted to correlate these transcriptomes to alterations in cellular function. This study used RNA sequencing to comprehensively investigate the transcriptomes associated with activation of TRPV4 or PIEZO1, revealing that TRPV4 and PIEZO drive distinct transcriptomes, but also exhibit unique co-regulated clusters of genes. Notably, activation of PIEZO1 through supraphysiologic deformation induced a transient inflammatory profile that overlapped with the interleukin (IL)-1-responsive transcriptome and contained genes associated with cartilage degradation and osteoarthritis progression. However, both TRPV4 and PIEZO1 were also shown to elicit anabolic effects. PIEZO1 expression promoted a pro-chondrogenic transcriptome under unloaded conditions, and daily treatment with PIEZO1 agonist Yoda1 significantly increased sulfated glycosaminoglycan deposition in vitro. These findings emphasize the presence of a broad “mechanome” with distinct effects of TRPV4 and PIEZO1 activation in chondrocytes, suggesting complex roles for PIEZO1 in both the physiologic and pathologic responses of chondrocytes. The identification of transcriptomic profiles unique to or shared by PIEZO1 and TRPV4 (distinct from IL-1-induced inflammation) could inform future therapeutic designs targeting these channels for the management and treatment of osteoarthritis.

Project description:Ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) leads to congestive heart failure and can cause sudden cardiac death due to arrhythmia. Existing molecular knowledge base of ICM is rudimentary because of lack of specific attribution to cell type and function. This study was designed to investigate cell-specific molecular remodeling of ion channels, exchangers and pumps, which are signaling molecules (SM) involved in electrical, signaling and mechanical functions of the heart. Atrial and ventricular myocytes were isolated by laser-capture microdissection from left atrium and ventricle of healthy and ICM human hearts. SM and their splice variants altered by ICM in cardiomyocytes were identified by splice microarray and validated by RT-PCR. Molecular profiling of ICM-related changes showed that SM in atrial and ventricular myocytes remodel following their unique programs. ICM affected 63 genes in ventricular myocytes and 12 genes in atrial myocytes. Only few of the identified genes were previously linked to human cardiac disfunctions. In our experiments we used 3 healthy hearts rejected from transplantation procedure and explanted ICM hearts from three male patients. Tissue samples were dissected from left ventricle and left atrial appendages. Atrial and ventricular myocytes were laser-capture microdissected from serial 7-8-µm thick cryostat sections. Individual cellular total RNA samples were analyzed on custom-built Human Ion Channel Splice Arrays slides (ExonHit) manufactured on the Ion Channel Splice Array sv1.1 platform representing 287 human SM, including 248 alternatively spliced ones in total 1655 splicing events and supplemented with capabilities to recognize connexins and ryanodine receptors.

Project description:The synovium secretes synovial fluid but is also richly innervated with nociceptors and acts as a gateway between avascular joint tissues and the circulatory system. Resident fibroblast-like synoviocytes’ (FLS) calcium-activated potassium channels (KCa) change in activity in arthritis models and this correlates with FLS activation. To deepen our understanding of the synovium in the context of synovial joint health and disease, the electrophysiological profile of FLS cells needs to be characterised, along with the ion channels that are present. Ion channels are an essential component of any cell membrane that controls ion movement in and out of the cell and play an important role in a multitude of cell regulating processes, typically by modulating the membrane potential To this end, we chose to perform an UNBIASED screen to identify/screen the ion channels that are transcribed in these cells and determine if this "channelome" changes with cytokine exposure. PCR/Westerns naturally bias toward the known proteins and transcripts and so we used Next Generation sequencing to scan the entire transcriptome. Objective: To determine the mechanism of this activation in an in vitro model of inflammatory arthritis; 72hr treatment with the cytokines TNFa and IL1b.
