Abstract
Lymphocyte function is regulated by a network of ion channels and transporters in the plasma membrane of B and T cells. These proteins modulate the cytoplasmic concentrations of diverse cations, such as calcium, magnesium and zinc ions, which function as second messengers to regulate crucial lymphocyte effector functions, including cytokine production, differentiation and cytotoxicity. The repertoire of ion-conducting proteins includes calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channels, P2X receptors, transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, potassium channels, chloride channels and magnesium and zinc transporters. This Review discusses the roles of ion conduction pathways in lymphocyte function and immunity.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins form cation channels that are regulated through strikingly diverse mechanisms including multiple cell surface receptors, changes in temperature, in pH and osmolarity, in cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), and by phosphoinositides which makes them polymodal sensors for fine tuning of many cellular and systemic processes in the body. The 28 TRP proteins identified in mammals are classified into six subfamilies: TRPC, TRPV, TRPM, TRPA, TRPML, and TRPP. When activated, they contribute to cell depolarization and Ca(2+) entry. In mast cells, the increase of [Ca(2+)](i) is fundamental for their biological activity, and several entry pathways for Ca(2+) and other cations were described including Ca(2+) release activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels. Like in other non-excitable cells, TRP channels could directly contribute to Ca(2+) influx via the plasma membrane as constituents of Ca(2+) conducting channel complexes or indirectly by shifting the membrane potential and regulation of the driving force for Ca(2+) entry through independent Ca(2+) entry channels. Here, we summarize the current knowledge about the expression of individual Trp genes with the majority of the 28 members being yet identified in different mast cell models, and we highlight mechanisms how they can regulate mast cell functions. Since specific agonists or blockers are still lacking for most members of the TRP family, studies to unravel their function and activation mode still rely on experiments using genetic approaches and transgenic animals. RNAi approaches suggest a functional role for TRPC1, TRPC5, and TRPM7 in mast cell derived cell lines or primary mast cells, and studies using Trp gene knock-out mice reveal a critical role for TRPM4 in mast cell activation and for mast cell mediated cutaneous anaphylaxis, whereas a direct role of cold- and menthol-activated TRPM8 channels seems to be unlikely for the development of cold urticaria at least in mice.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests that neuroimmune interactions contribute to pathological pain. Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is a nonselective Ca²⁺-permeable cation channel that acts as a sensor for reactive oxygen species. TRPM2 is expressed abundantly in immune cells and is important in inflammatory processes. The results of the present study show that TRPM2 plays a crucial role in inflammatory and neuropathic pain. While wild-type and TRPM2 knock-out mice showed no difference in their basal sensitivity to mechanical and thermal stimulation, nocifensive behaviors in the formalin test were reduced in TRPM2 knock-out mice. In carrageenan-induced inflammatory pain and sciatic nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain models, mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia were attenuated in TRPM2 knock-out mice. Carrageenan-induced inflammation and sciatic nerve injury increased the expression of TRPM2 mRNA in the inflamed paw and around the injured sciatic nerve, respectively. TRPM2 deficiency diminished the infiltration of neutrophils and the production of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand-2 (CXCL2), a major chemokine that recruits neutrophils, but did not alter the recruitment of F4/80-positive macrophages in the inflamed paw or around the injured sciatic nerve. Microglial activation after nerve injury was suppressed in the spinal cord of TRPM2 knock-out mice. Furthermore, CXCL2 production and inducible nitric oxide synthase induction were diminished in cultured macrophages and microglia derived from TRPM2 knock-out mice. Together, these results suggest that TRPM2 expressed in macrophages and microglia aggravates peripheral and spinal pronociceptive inflammatory responses and contributes to the pathogenesis of inflammatory and neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Recent work on animal models has revealed the important role played by the voltage-gated proton channel Hv1 during bacterial killing by innate immune cells. Studies from mice lacking Hv1 channels showed that Hv1 proton channels are required for high-level production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by the NADPH oxidase of phagocytes (NOX2) in two ways. First, Hv1 channels maintain a physiological membrane potential during the respiratory burst of neutrophils by providing a compensating charge for the electrons transferred by NOX2 from NADPH to superoxide. Second, Hv1 channels maintain a physiological cytosolic pH by extruding the acid generated by the NOX2-dependent consumption of NADPH. The two mechanisms directly sustain the activity of the NOX2 enzyme and indirectly sustain other neutrophil functions by enhancing the driving force for the entry of calcium into cells, thereby boosting cellular calcium signals. The increased depolarization of Hv1-deficient neutrophils aborted calcium responses to chemoattractants and revealed adhesion and migration defects that were associated with an impaired depolymerization of the cortical actin cytoskeleton. Current research aims to transpose these findings to phagosomes, the phagocytic vacuoles where bacterial killing takes place. However, the mechanisms that control the phagosomal pH appear to vary greatly between phagocytes: phagosomes rapidly acidify in macrophages but remain neutral for several minutes in neutrophils following ingestion of solid particles, whereas in dendritic cells phagosomes alkalinize, a mechanism thought to promote antigen cross-presentation. In this review, we discuss how the knowledge gained on the role of Hv1 channels at the plasma membrane of neutrophils can be used to study the regulation of the phagosomal pH, ROS, membrane potential, and calcium fluxes in different phagocytic cells.

Abstract
The ability to sense temperature is essential for organism survival and efficient metabolism. Body temperatures profoundly affect many physiological functions, including immunity. Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is a thermosensitive, Ca(2+)-permeable cation channel expressed in a wide range of immunocytes. TRPM2 is activated by adenosine diphosphate ribose and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), although the activation mechanism by H(2)O(2) is not well understood. Here we report a unique activation mechanism in which H(2)O(2) lowers the temperature threshold for TRPM2 activation, termed "sensitization," through Met oxidation and adenosine diphosphate ribose production. This sensitization is completely abolished by a single mutation at Met-214, indicating that the temperature threshold of TRPM2 activation is regulated by redox signals that enable channel activity at physiological body temperatures. Loss of TRPM2 attenuates zymosan-evoked macrophage functions, including cytokine release and fever-enhanced phagocytic activity. These findings suggest that redox signals sensitize TRPM2 downstream of NADPH oxidase activity and make TRPM2 active at physiological body temperature, leading to increased cytosolic Ca(2+) concentrations. Our results suggest that TRPM2 sensitization plays important roles in macrophage functions.

Abstract
TRPM2 Ca(2+)-permeable cation channel is widely expressed and activated by markers of cellular stress. Since inflammation and stress play a major role in insulin resistance, we examined the role of TRPM2 Ca(2+) channel in glucose metabolism. A 2-h hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp was performed in TRPM2-deficient (KO) and wild-type mice to assess insulin sensitivity. To examine the effects of diet-induced obesity, mice were fed a high-fat diet for 4-10 mo, and metabolic cage and clamp studies were conducted in conscious mice. TRPM2-KO mice were more insulin sensitive partly because of increased glucose metabolism in peripheral organs. After 4 mo of high-fat feeding, TRPM2-KO mice were resistant to diet-induced obesity, and this was associated with increased energy expenditure and elevated expressions of PGC-1α, PGC-1β, PPARα, ERRα, TFAM, and MCAD in white adipose tissue. Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamps showed that TRPM2-KO mice were more insulin sensitive, with increased Akt and GSK-3β phosphorylation in heart. Obesity-mediated inflammation in adipose tissue and liver was attenuated in TRPM2-KO mice. Overall, TRPM2 deletion protected mice from developing diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance. Our findings identify a novel role of TRPM2 Ca(2+) channel in the regulation of energy expenditure, inflammation, and insulin resistance.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) channels were originally identified electrophysiologically when depletion of cytosolic Mg(2+) resulted in the gradual development of an outwardly rectifying cation current. Conversely, inclusion of millimolar Mg(2+) in internal solutions prevented activation of these channels in whole cell patch clamp. We recently demonstrated that the Jurkat T-cell whole cell TRPM7 channels are inhibited by internal Mg(2+) in a biphasic manner, displaying high [IC(50(1)) ≈ 10 μM] and low [IC(50(2)) ≈ 165 μM] affinity inhibitor sites. In that study, we had characterized the dependence of the maximum cell current density on intracellular Mg(2+) concentration. To characterize Mg(2+) inhibition in Jurkat T cells in more detail and compare it to whole cell results, we recorded single TRPM7 channels in cell-free membrane patches and investigated the dependence of their activity on Mg(2+) added on the cytoplasmic side. We systematically varied free Mg(2+) from 265 nM to 407 μM and evaluated the extent of channel inhibition in inside-out patch for 58 patches. We found that the TRPM7 channel shows two conductance levels of 39.0 pS (γ(1)) and 18.6 pS (γ(2)) and that both are reversibly inhibited by internal Mg(2+). The 39.0-pS conductance is the dominant state of the channel, observed most frequently in this recording configuration. The dose-response relation in inside-out patches shows a steeper Mg(2+) dependence than in whole cell, yielding IC(50(1)) of 25.1 μM and IC(50(2)) of 91.2 μM.. Single-channel analysis shows that the primary effect of Mg(2+) in multichannel patches is a reversible reduction of the number of conducting channels (N(o)). Additionally, at high Mg(2+) concentrations, we observed a saturating 20% reduction in unitary conductance (γ(1)). Thus Mg(2+) inhibition in whole cell can be explained by a drop in individual participating channels and a modest reduction in conductance. We also found that TRPM7 channels in some patches were not sensitive to this ion at submaximal Mg(2+) concentrations. Interestingly, Mg(2+) inhibition showed the property of use dependence: with repeated applications, Mg(2+) effect became gradually more potent, which suggests that Mg(2+) sensitivity of the channel is a dynamic characteristic that depends on other membrane factors.

Abstract
Hypertonicity-induced cation channels (HICCs) are key-players in proliferation and apoptosis but their molecular correlate remains obscure. Furthermore, the activation profile of HICCs is not well defined yet. We report here that, in HeLa cells, intracellular adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPr) and cyclic ADPr (cADPr), as supposed activators of TRPM2, elicited cation currents that were virtually identical to the osmotic activation of HICCs. Silencing of the expression of TRPM2 and of the ecto-enzyme CD38 (as a likely source of ADPr and cADPr) inhibited HICC as well as nucleotide-induced currents and, in parallel, the hypertonic volume response of cells (the regulatory volume increase, RVI) was attenuated. Quantification of intracellular cADPr levels and the systematic application of extra- vs. intracellular nucleotides indicate that the outwardly directed gradient rather than the cellular activity of ADPr and cADPr triggers TRPM2 activation, probably along with a simultaneous biotransformation of nucleotides.Cloning of TRPM2 identified the ΔC-splice variant as the molecular correlate of the HICC, which could be strongly supported by a direct comparison of the respective Ca²⁺ selectivity. Finally, immunoprecipitation and high-resolution FRET/FLIM imaging revealed the interaction of TRPM2 and CD38 in the native as well as in a heterologous (HEK293T) expression system. We propose transport-related nucleotide export via CD38 as a novel mechanism of TRPM2/HICC activation. With the biotransformation of nucleotides running in parallel, continuous zero trans-conditions are achieved which will render the system infinitely sensitive.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recent findings implicate the calcium-permeable nonselective ion channels transient receptor potential (TRP) melastatin subtype 2 (TRPM2) and canonical subtype 3 (TRPC3) in the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder (BD). These channels are involved in calcium and oxidative stress signaling, both of which are disrupted in BD. Thus, we sought to determine if these channels are differentially affected by oxidative stress in cell lines of BD patient origin. METHODS B lymphoblast cell lines (BLCLs) from bipolar I disorder (BD-I) patients (n = 6) and healthy controls (n = 5) were challenged with the oxidative stressor rotenone (2.5 μM and 10 μM) or vehicle for acute (24 hours) and chronic (four days) intervals. Cell viability was measured using propidium iodide, while TRPM2- and TRPC3-mediated calcium fluxes were measured in the presence of their respective activators (H(2) O(2) and 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol) using Fluo-4. Changes in TRPM2 and TRPC3 expression levels were determined by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting. RESULTS Cell viability decreased with increasing dose and duration of rotenone treatment, with BD-I patient BLCLs more susceptible than controls acutely (p < 0.001). A dose-dependent decrease in TRPC3 protein expression occurred after chronic (24%, p = 0.008) but not acute rotenone treatment. Interestingly, H(2) O(2) -provoked TRPM2-dependent calcium fluxes revealed an interaction between the effects of stressor addition and diagnostic subject group (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS These data support an important role for TRPM2 and TRPC3 in sensing and responding to oxidative stress and in transducing oxidative stress signaling to intracellular calcium homeostasis and cellular stress responses, all of which have been implicated in the pathophysiology of BD.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common, sustained clinical tachyarrhythmia associated with significant morbidity and mortality. AF is a persistent condition with progressive structural remodeling of the atrial cardiomyocytes due to the AF itself, resulting in cellular changes commonly observed in aging and in other heart diseases. While rhythm control by electrocardioversion or drug treatment is the treatment of choice in symptomatic AF patients, its efficacy is still limited. Current research is directed at preventing first-onset AF by limiting the development of substrates underlying AF progression and resembles mechanism-based therapy. Upstream therapy refers to the use of non-ion channel anti-arrhythmic drugs that modify the atrial substrate- or target-specific mechanisms of AF, with the ultimate aim to prevent the occurrence (primary prevention) or recurrence of the arrhythmia following (spontaneous) conversion (secondary prevention). Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones and comprise a large family of proteins involved in the protection against various forms of cellular stress. Their classical function is the conservation of proteostasis via prevention of toxic protein aggregation by binding to (partially) unfolded proteins. Our recent data reveal that HSPs prevent electrical, contractile, and structural remodeling of cardiomyocytes, thus attenuating the AF substrate in cellular, Drosophila melanogaster, and animal experimental models. Furthermore, studies in humans suggest a protective role for HSPs against the progression from paroxysmal AF to persistent AF and in recurrence of AF. In this review, we discuss upregulation of the heat shock response system as a novel target for upstream therapy to prevent derailment of proteostasis and consequently progression and recurrence of AF.

Abstract
When cardiac tissue is exposed to hypoxia, myocytes are damaged, while fibroblasts are activated. However, it is unknown what changes are induced by hypoxia in cardiac fibroblasts. In this study, using the whole cell patch-clamp technique, we investigated the effect of hypoxia on membrane currents in fibroblasts primarily cultured from adult rat hearts. Cardiac fibroblasts were incubated for 24 h under normoxic or hypoxic conditions using Anaeropack. Hypoxia increased a current which reversed at around -20 mV in the cardiac fibroblasts. This current was inhibited by clotrimazole, which is an inhibitor of transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) channel and intermediate-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel (KCa3.1). ADP ribose in the pipette solution enhanced this current. Quantitative RT-PCR revealed that mRNA of TRPM2, but not that of KCa3.1, was increased by hypoxia. RNA interference of TRPM2 prevented the development of the hypoxia-induced current. H(2)O(2), an activator of TRPM2 channel, induced a higher [Ca(2+)](i) elevation in hypoxia-exposed cardiac fibroblasts than that in normoxia-exposed cells. We conclude that hypoxia induces TRPM2 channel expression in adult rat cardiac fibroblasts.

Abstract
Our previous studies have showed that ginsenoside (GS)-Rd, a mono-compound isolated from traditional Chinese herb panax ginseng, has the neuroprotective effects following ischemic stroke. However, the underlying mechanisms are still largely unknown. Our latest study showed that GS-Rd could block calcium influx in cultured cortical neurons after excitotoxic injury, indicating that GS-Rd may act on cation channels. To explore this possibility, in this study, we used a rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model to examine the effects of GS-Rd on the expression of non-selective cation channels, including transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM) and acid sensing ion channels (ASIC), and cation channels, including N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, which all play essential roles in ischemic stroke. Our results showed that both TRPM and ASIC channels were expressed in the brain. At 24 h following MCAO insult, mRNA and protein expression levels of TRPM7, ASIC1a and ASIC2a were significantly increased. Pretreatment of 10 mg/kg GS-Rd attenuated MCAO-induced expression of TRPM7 and ASIC1a but promoted that of ASIC2a. In contrast, GS-Rd had no significant effects on the expression of NMDA receptors. Thus, our results suggest that GS-Rd neuroprotection following cerebral ischemia may be at least due to its effects on the expression of TRPM7, ASIC1a and ASIC2a.

Abstract
There is growing body of evidence that nitric oxide (NO)-cGMP-PKG signaling plays a central role in negative regulation of cardiovascular (CV) responses and its disorders through suppressed Ca(2+) dynamics. Other lines of evidence also reveal the stimulatory effects of this signaling on some CV functions. Recently, transient receptor potential (TRP) channels have received much attention as non-voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels involved in CV physiology and pathophysiology. Available information suggests that these channels undergo both inhibition and activation by NO via PKG-mediated phosphorylation and S-nitrosylation, respectively, and also act as upstream regulators to promote endothelial NO production. This review summarizes the roles of NO-cGMP-PKG signaling pathway, particularly in regulating TRP channel functions with their associated physiology and pathophysiology.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential M2 channel (TRPM2) is the Ca(2+)-permeable cation channel controlled by cellular redox status via β-NAD(+) and ADP-ribose (ADPR). TRPM2 activity has been reported to underlie susceptibility to cell death and biological processes such as inflammatory cell migration and insulin secretion. However, little is known about the intracellular mechanisms that regulate oxidative stress-induced cell death via TRPM2. We report here a molecular and functional interaction between the TRPM2 channel and EF-hand motif-containing protein EFHC1, whose mutation causes juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) via mechanisms including neuronal apoptosis. In situ hybridization analysis demonstrates TRPM2 and EFHC1 are coexpressed in hippocampal neurons and ventricle cells, while immunoprecipitation analysis demonstrates physical interaction of the N- and C-terminal cytoplasmic regions of TRPM2 with the EFHC1 protein. Coexpression of EFHC1 significantly potentiates hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))- and ADPR-induced Ca(2+) responses and cationic currents via recombinant TRPM2 in HEK293 cells. Furthermore, EFHC1 enhances TRPM2-conferred susceptibility of HEK293 cells to H(2)O(2)-induced cell death, which is reversed by JME mutations. These results reveal a positive regulatory action of EFHC1 on TRPM2 activity, suggesting that TRPM2 contributes to the expression of JME phenotypes by mediating disruptive effects of JME mutations of EFHC1 on biological processes including cell death.

Abstract
The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SER) Ca(2+) pool is refilled by the SER Ca(2+) pump (SERCA) using cytosolic Ca(2+) and/or extracellular Ca(2+) entering the cell. The effects of the SERCA pump inhibitor cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) were studied in pig coronary artery smooth muscle using two protocols. In protocol A, the SERCA pump was inhibited by adding CPA to cells/tissues in Ca(2+)-containing solution, whereas in protocol B, CPA was added to cells/tissues in Ca(2+)-free solution, followed by reintroduction of extracellular Ca(2+). Addition of CPA increased cytosolic Ca(2+) in cultured smooth muscle cells and elicited contraction in de-endothelialized coronary arteries in both protocols. Based on pharmacological experiments, the CPA-induced contraction of de-endothelialized arteries in protocol B resulted from store operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE). Reactive oxygen species such as peroxides are known to damage the SERCA pump in this tissue. Consistently, CPA-induced contractions were decreased in arteries pre-treated with hydrogen peroxide in protocol A. However, this pretreatment also decreased the force of contraction due to SOCE in protocol B, suggesting that it closed SOCE. We propose that the closure of SOCE triggered by exposure to reactive oxygen species may be a protective mechanism, so that Ca(2+) entry by this pathway is disallowed when SERCA is damaged in pathologies such as ischemia-reperfusion.

Abstract
In rat pancreatic β cells, arachidonic acid (AA) triggered intracellular Ca(2+) release. This effect could be mimicked by eicosatetraynoic acid, indicating that AA metabolism is not required. The AA-mediated Ca(2+) signal was not affected by inhibition of ryanodine receptors or emptying of ryanodine-sensitive store but was reduced by ∼70% following the disruption of acidic stores (treatment with bafilomycin A1 or glycyl-phenylalanyl-β-naphthylamide (GPN)). The action of AA did not involve TRPM2 channels or NAADP receptors because intracellular dialysis of adenosine diphosphoribose (ADPR; an activator of TRPM2 channels) or NAADP did not affect the AA response. In contrast, stimulation of IP(3) receptors via intracellular dialysis of adenophostin A, or exogenous application of ATP largely abolished the AA-mediated Ca(2+) signal. Intracellular dialysis of heparin abolished the ATP-mediated Ca(2+) signal but not the AA response, suggesting that the action of AA did not involve the IP(3)-binding site. Treatment with the SERCA pump inhibitor, thapsigargin, reduced the amplitude of the AA-mediated Ca(2+) signal by ∼70%. Overall, our finding suggests that AA mobilizes Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum as well as an acidic store and both stores could be depleted by IP(3) receptor agonist. The possibility of secretory granules as targets of AA is discussed.

Abstract
Mammals contain 28 genes encoding Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) proteins. The proteins assemble into cationic channels, often with calcium permeability. Important roles in physiology and disease have emerged and so there is interest in whether the channels might be suitable therapeutic drug targets. Here we review selected members of three subfamilies of mammalian TRP channel (TRPC5, TRPM2 and TRPA1) that show relevance to sensing of adversity by cells and biological systems. Summarized are the cellular and tissue distributions, general properties, endogenous modulators, protein partners, cellular and tissue functions, therapeutic potential, and pharmacology. TRPC5 is stimulated by receptor agonists and other factors that include lipids and metal ions; it heteromultimerises with other TRPC proteins and is involved in cell movement and anxiety control. TRPM2 is activated by hydrogen peroxide; it is implicated in stress-related inflammatory, vascular and neurodegenerative conditions. TRPA1 is stimulated by a wide range of irritants including mustard oil and nicotine but also, controversially, noxious cold and mechanical pressure; it is implicated in pain and inflammatory responses, including in the airways. The channels have in common that they show polymodal stimulation, have activities that are enhanced by redox factors, are permeable to calcium, and are facilitated by elevations of intracellular calcium. Developing inhibitors of the channels could lead to new agents for a variety of conditions: for example, suppressing unwanted tissue remodeling, inflammation, pain and anxiety, and addressing problems relating to asthma and stroke.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species, including hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), are known to induce β-cell apoptosis. The present study investigated the role of Ca(2+) in H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis of the β-cell line INS-1. Annexin V assay with flow cytometry and DNA ladder assay demonstrated that treatment of INS-1 cells with 100 µM H(2)O(2) for 18 h significantly increased apoptotic cells. A comparable level of apoptosis was also observed after 18 h when the cells were treated with 100 µM H(2)O(2) only for initial 30 min. The H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis was abolished by 1,2-bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid tetra(acetoxymethyl)ester (BAPTA/AM), a chelator of intracellular Ca(2+), by 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborate (2-APB), a blocker of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptors and cation channels, and by xestospongin D, a blocker of IP(3) receptors, and was partially blocked by SKF-96365, a non-selective cation channel blocker. However, nicardipine, an L-type voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channel blocker, or N-(p-amylcinnamoyl)anthranilic acid (ACA), a TRPM2 blocker, had little effect on the apoptosis. The inhibitory effect of BAPTA/AM or 2-APB on the H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis was largely attenuated when the drug was added 30 min or 1 h after start of the treatment with H(2)O(2). These results suggest that the initial intracellular Ca(2+) elevation induced by H(2)O(2), which is mediated via IP(3) receptors and store-operated cation channels, plays an obligatory role in the induction of β-cell apoptosis.

The redox-sensitive cation channel TRPM2 modulates phagocyte ROS production and inflammation. Nat Immunol 2011; 13:29-34.

Abstract
The NADPH oxidase activity of phagocytes and its generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is critical for host-defense, but ROS overproduction can also lead to inflammation and tissue injury. Here we report that TRPM2, a non-selective and redox-sensitive cation channel, inhibits ROS production in phagocytic cells and prevents endotoxin-induced lung inflammation in mice. TRPM2-deficient mice challenged with endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide) showed an increased inflammatory signature and decreased survival compared to controls. TRPM2 functions by dampening NADPH oxidase-mediated ROS production through depolarization of the plasma membrane in phagocytes. Since ROS also activates TRPM2, our findings establish a negative feedback mechanism inactivating ROS production through inhibition of the membrane potential-sensitive NADPH oxidase.

Abstract
Recent findings have provided insights into pathogenic mechanism(s) that may complement and add to the traditional glutamatergic mechanisms to which ischemic brain injury is ascribed. The discovery of mechanisms leading to ionic imbalance and signaling cascades that mediate cross-talk between redundant pathways of cell death, as well as mechanisms that operate downstream of, upstream of and in parallel with excitotoxicity, has spurred new research into therapeutics ranging from proof of concept in animals to human clinical trials. This Perspective presents an integrated consideration of new molecular pathogenic mechanisms underlying ischemic damage in the brain, and how our combined knowledge of these mechanisms and our existing knowledge of excitotoxicity may establish new targets for therapy, by allowing clearer boundaries on what might be expected of a given intervention, and may yield advances that will benefit patients.

Abstract
Proteins are capable of sensing the redox status of cells. Cysteine residues, which react with oxidants, reductants, and electrophiles, have been increasingly recognized as the mediators of this redox sensitivity. Cation channels encoded by the transient receptor potential (trp) gene superfamily are characterized by a wide variety of activation triggers that act from outside and inside the cell. Recent studies have revealed that a class of TRP channels is sensitive to changes in redox status and is notably susceptible to modifications of cysteine residues, such as oxidation, electrophilic reaction, and S-nitrosylation of sulfhydryls. In this review, we focus on TRP channels, which directly sense redox status, and discuss the biological significance of cysteine modifications and the consequences of this chemical reaction for physiological responses.

Abstract
Ion channels contribute to virtually all basic cellular processes, including such crucial ones for maintaining tissue homeostasis as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The involvement of ion channels in regulation of programmed cell death, or apoptosis, has been known for at least three decades based on observation that classical blockers of ion channels can influence cell death rates, prolonging or shortening cell survival. Identification of the central role of these channels in regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis as well as the recent discovery that the expression of ion channels is not limited solely to the plasma membrane, but may also include membranes of internal compartments, has led researchers to appreciate the pivotal role of ion channels plays in development of cancer. This review focuses on the aspects of programmed cell death influenced by various ion channels and how dysfunctions and misregulations of these channels may affect the development and progression of different cancers.

Abstract
The endothelium is a highly dynamic structure lining the inside of blood vessels that exhibits physical and chemical properties that are critical determinants of overall vascular function. Physically, the endothelium constitutes a semipermeable barrier. Chemically, the endothelium synthesizes numerous factors such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can act as autocrine and paracrine signaling molecules. Oxidative stress results when ROS levels increase to levels that cause cellular injury, and, in the endothelium oxidative stress leads to barrier disruption. Endothelial barrier disruption also results from increased cytosolic calcium through store-operated calcium (SOC) entry channels. Although it is known that ROS can interact with and regulate some ion channels, relatively little is known about the interaction of these species with components of endothelial SOC entry channels, the canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) proteins. Here we review our current understanding of ROS-mediated TRPC channel function and how it affects SOC entry and endothelial barrier disruption.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) channels are sensitive to oxidative stress, and their activation can lead to cell death. Although these channels have been extensively studied in expression systems, their role in the brain, particularly in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), remains unknown. In this study, we assessed the expression and functional properties of TRPM2 channels in rat dopaminergic SNc neurons, using acute brain slices. RT-PCR analysis revealed TRPM2 mRNA expression in the SNc region. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated expression of TRPM2 protein in tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons. Channel function was tested with whole cell patch-clamp recordings and calcium (fura-2) imaging. Intracellular application of ADP-ribose (50-400 μM) evoked a dose-dependent, desensitizing inward current and intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) rise. These responses were strongly inhibited by the nonselective TRPM2 channel blockers clotrimazole and flufenamic acid. Exogenous application of H(2)O(2) (1-5 mM) evoked a rise in [Ca(2+)](i) and an outward current mainly due to activation of ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels. Inhibition of K(+) conductance with Cs(+) and tetraethylammonium unmasked an inward current. The inward current and/or [Ca(2+)](i) rise were partially blocked by clotrimazole and N-(p-amylcinnamoyl)anthranilic acid (ACA). The H(2)O(2)-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise was abolished in "zero" extracellular Ca(2+) concentration and was enhanced at higher baseline [Ca(2+)](i), consistent with activation of TRPM2 channels in the cell membrane. These results provide evidence for the functional expression of TRPM2 channels in dopaminergic SNc neurons. Given the involvement of oxidative stress in degeneration of SNc neurons in Parkinson's disease, further studies are needed to determine the pathophysiological role of these channels in the disease process.

Abstract
Oxygen (O(2)) is a prerequisite for cellular respiration in aerobic organisms but also elicits toxicity. To understand how animals cope with the ambivalent physiological nature of O(2), it is critical to elucidate the molecular mechanisms responsible for O(2) sensing. Here our systematic evaluation of transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channels using reactive disulfides with different redox potentials reveals the capability of TRPA1 to sense O(2). O(2) sensing is based upon disparate processes: whereas prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) exert O(2)-dependent inhibition on TRPA1 activity in normoxia, direct O(2) action overrides the inhibition via the prominent sensitivity of TRPA1 to cysteine-mediated oxidation in hyperoxia. Unexpectedly, TRPA1 is activated through relief from the same PHD-mediated inhibition in hypoxia. In mice, disruption of the Trpa1 gene abolishes hyperoxia- and hypoxia-induced cationic currents in vagal and sensory neurons and thereby impedes enhancement of in vivo vagal discharges induced by hyperoxia and hypoxia. The results suggest a new O(2)-sensing mechanism mediated by TRPA1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Fenamates are N-phenyl-substituted anthranilic acid derivatives clinically used as non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs in pain treatment. Reports describing fenamates as tools to interfere with cellular volume regulation attracted our attention based on our interest in the role of the volume-modulated transient receptor potential (TRP) channels TRPM3 and TRPV4. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Firstly, we measured the blocking potencies and selectivities of fenamates on TRPM3 and TRPV4 as well as TRPC6 and TRPM2 by Ca(2+) imaging in the heterologous HEK293 cell system. Secondly, we further investigated the effects of mefenamic acid on cytosolic Ca(2+) and on the membrane voltage in single HEK293 cells that exogenously express TRPM3. Thirdly, in insulin-secreting INS-1E cells, which endogenously express TRPM3, we validated the effect of mefenamic acid on cytosolic Ca(2+) and insulin secretion. KEY RESULTS We identified and characterized mefenamic acid as a selective and potent TRPM3 blocker, whereas other fenamate structures non-selectively blocked TRPM3, TRPV4, TRPC6 and TRPM2. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS This study reveals that mefenamic acid selectively inhibits TRPM3-mediated calcium entry. This selectivity was further confirmed using insulin-secreting cells. K(ATP) channel-dependent increases in cytosolic Ca(2+) and insulin secretion were not blocked by mefenamic acid, but the selective stimulation of TRPM3-dependent Ca(2+) entry and insulin secretion induced by pregnenolone sulphate were inhibited. However, the physiological regulator of TRPM3 in insulin-secreting cells remains to be elucidated, as well as the conditions under which the inhibition of TRPM3 can impair pancreatic β-cell function. Our results strongly suggest mefenamic acid is the most selective fenamate to interfere with TRPM3 function.

Abstract
The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is inherent to immune responses. ROS are crucially involved in host defense against pathogens by promoting bacterial killing, but also as signaling agents coordinating the production of cytokines. Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is a Ca(2+)-permeable channel gated via binding of ADP-ribose, a metabolite formed under conditions of cellular exposure to ROS. Here, we show that TRPM2-deficient mice are extremely susceptible to infection with Listeria monocytogenes (Lm), exhibiting an inefficient innate immune response. In a comparison with IFNγR-deficient mice, TRPM2(-/-) mice shared similar features of uncontrolled bacterial replication and reduced levels of inducible (i)NOS-expressing monocytes, but had intact IFNγ responsiveness. In contrast, we found that levels of cytokines IL-12 and IFNγ were diminished in TRPM2(-/-) mice following Lm infection, which correlated with their reduced innate activation. Moreover, TRPM2(-/-) mice displayed a higher degree of susceptibility than IL-12-unresponsive mice, and supplementation with recombinant IFNγ was sufficient to reverse the unrestrained bacterial growth and ultimately the lethal phenotype of Lm-infected TRPM2(-/-) mice. The severity of listeriosis we observed in TRPM2(-/-) mice has not been reported for any other ion channel. These findings establish an unsuspected role for ADP-ribose and ROS-mediated cation flux for innate immunity, opening up unique possibilities for immunomodulatory intervention through TRPM2.

Abstract
Zinc ion (Zn(2+)) is an endogenous allosteric modulator that regulates the activity of a wide variety of ion channels in a reversible and concentration-dependent fashion. Here we used patch clamp recording to study the effects of Zn(2+) on the melastatin transient receptor potential 2 (TRPM2) channel. Zn(2+) inhibited the human (h) TRPM2 channel currents, and the steady-state inhibition was largely not reversed upon washout and concentration-independent in the range of 30-1000 μM, suggesting that Zn(2+) induces channel inactivation. Zn(2+) inactivated the channels fully when they conducted inward currents, but only by half when they passed outward currents, indicating profound influence of the permeant ion on Zn(2+) inactivation. Alanine substitution scanning mutagenesis of 20 Zn(2+)-interacting candidate residues in the outer pore region of the hTRPM2 channel showed that mutation of Lys(952) in the extracellular end of the fifth transmembrane segment and Asp(1002) in the large turret strongly attenuated or abolished Zn(2+) inactivation, and mutation of several other residues dramatically changed the inactivation kinetics. The mouse (m) TRPM2 channels were also inactivated by Zn(2+), but the kinetics were remarkably slower. Reciprocal mutation of His(995) in the hTRPM2 channel and the equivalent Gln(992) in the mTRPM2 channel completely swapped the kinetics, but no such opposing effects resulted from exchanging another pair of species-specific residues, Arg(961)/Ser(958). We conclude from these results that Zn(2+) inactivates the TRPM2 channels and that residues in the outer pore are critical determinants of the inactivation.

Abstract
Some members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel superfamily have proved to be essential in maintaining adequate ion homeostasis, signaling, and membrane trafficking in the endosomal pathway. The unique properties of the TRP channels confer cells the ability to integrate cytosolic and intraluminal stimuli and allow maintained and regulated release of Ca(2+) from endosomes and lysosomes.

Abstract
Migraine is one of the risk factor for ischemic stroke. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of lomerizine, a prophylactic drug for migraine, on H(2)O(2)-induced cell death of hippocampal neurons. Cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration was measured using fura-2 as a Ca(2+) indicator. Cell death was estimated by trypan blue exclusion. In rat-cultured hippocampal neurons, the addition of H(2)O(2) induced biphasic Ca(2+) elevations and cell death. The H(2)O(2)-induced biphasic Ca(2+) elevations and cell death only occurred when extracellular Ca(2+) was present. The biphasic Ca(2+) elevation was mediated by Ca(2+) influx through the plasma membrane, but not Ca(2+) release from the intracellular Ca(2+) store. Both the early and late phases of H(2)O(2)-induced Ca(2+) influx were reduced by either a T- or L-type voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channel (VDCC) blocker, lomerizine. In fact, L-type VDCC (α(1C) subunit) and T-type VDCC (α(1G) subunit) mRNA were expressed in rat hippocampal neurons. Although an L-type VDCC blocker, nifedipine, partly suppressed the late phase of Ca(2+) influx in response to H(2)O(2), a T-type VDCC blocker, mibefradil, reduced both phases of Ca(2+) influx. Moreover, lomerizine and mibefradil strongly reduced H(2)O(2)-induced cell death, and nifedipine weakly reduced it. These findings suggest that the inhibition of H(2)O(2)-induced Ca(2+) influx through T-type VDCC seems to be important in the protective effect of lomerizine against oxidative stress. It is possible that lomerizine may be a useful drug for prophylactic treatment of migraine, because migraine is a risk factor for ischemic stroke.

Abstract
The possible chemopreventive role of dimethylthiourea (DMTU) against carmustine (1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea, BCNU)-induced myelotoxicity was assessed through evaluation of apoptosis, lipid peroxidation, glutathione (GSH) content and some antioxidant enzymes activities in bone marrow cells of rats. Thirty-six rats were randomly classified into four groups. The first group was injected i.p. with ethanol and served as a control. The second group was treated with BCNU. The third group was given DMTU, while the fourth group was co-administered with DMTU prior to BCNU administration. BCNU treatment in a single dose of 30 mg/kg significantly decreased the normal counts of RBCs, WBCs and platelets as well as hemoglobin level. In addition, BCNU exhibited marked apoptotic effect associated with significant alterations in the oxidative cascade parameters. Treatment of animals with DMTU in a single dose of 500 mg/kg 1h before BCNU injection, followed by 125 mg/kg twice daily for 5 consecutive days significantly mitigated the induced changes in the hematological parameters. The induced alterations in the oxidant and antioxidant parameters as well as apoptosis were also improved. Conclusively, DMTU treatment exhibited marked chemopreventive effect against BCNU-induced myelotoxicity; an effect which may be partially attributed to its inherently antioxidant potential.

Abstract
Melastatin-like transient receptor potential 2 (TRPM2) channel activation/inhibition mechanisms in response to ADP-ribose (ADPR), oxidative stress, flufenamic acid (FFA) and 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) are not clear. We tested the effects of FFA and 2-APB on ADPR-induced TRPM2 cation channel currents in rat native bone marrow megakaryocytes. Megakaryocyte cells were freshly isolated from rat bone marrow and studied with the conventional whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Extracellular H2O2, FFA and 2-APB were added through the patch chamber, while intracellular ADPR was applied through the pipette. Nonselective cation currents were consistently induced by ADPR but not H2O2. Current density of ADPR in the cells was significantly (P<0.001) higher than in control. The time courses of ADPR effects in the megakaryocytes were characterized by a delay of 2.24±0.73. The ADPR-induced Ca2+ gate was not blocked by either the IP3 receptor inhibitor 2-APB or the PLC inhibitor FFA. In conclusion, TRPM2 channels were constitutively activated by intracellular ADPR, although the channel currents in rat native megakaryocytes were not affected by extracellular H2O2, 2-APB or FFA. Activation of TRPM2 channels in megakaryocytes seems to be intracellular and ADPR-dependent.

Abstract
Exposure to oxidative stress causes health problems, including sensory neuron neuropathy and pain. Rotenone is a toxin used to generate intracellular oxidative stress in neurons. However, the mechanism of toxicity in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons has not been characterized. Melastatin-like transient receptor potential 2 (TRPM2) channel activation and inhibition in response to oxidative stress, ADP-ribose (ADPR), flufenamic acid (FFA) and 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) in DRG neurons are also not clear. We tested the effects of FFA and 2-APB on ADPR and rotenone-induced TRPM2 cation channel activation in DRG neurons of rats. DRG neurons were freshly isolated from rats and studied with the conventional whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Rotenone, FFA and 2-APB were extracellularly added through the patch chamber, and ADPR was applied intracellularly through the patch pipette. TRPM2 cation currents were consistently induced by ADPR and rotenone. Current densities of the neurons were higher in the ADPR and rotenone groups than in control. The time courses (gating times) in the neurons were longer in the rotenone than in the ADPR group. ADPR and rotenone-induced TRPM2 currents were totally blocked by 2-APB and partially blocked by FFA. In conclusion, TRPM2 channels were constitutively activated by ADPR and rotenone, and 2-APB and FFA induced an inhibitory effect on TRPM2 cation channel currents in rat DRG neurons. Since oxidative stress is a common feature of neuropathic pain and diseases of sensory neurons, the present findings have broad application to the etiology of neuropathic pain and diseases of DRG neurons.

Abstract
Substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) GABAergic neurons are key output neurons of the basal ganglia. Given the role of these neurons in motor control, it is important to understand factors that regulate their firing rate and pattern. One potential regulator is hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), a reactive oxygen species that is increasingly recognized as a neuromodulator. We used whole-cell current clamp recordings of SNr GABAergic neurons in guinea-pig midbrain slices to determine how H₂O₂ affects the activity of these neurons and to explore the classes of ion channels underlying those effects. Elevation of H₂O₂ levels caused an increase in the spontaneous firing rate of SNr GABAergic neurons, whether by application of exogenous H₂O₂ or amplification of endogenous H₂O₂ through inhibition of glutathione peroxidase with mercaptosuccinate. This effect was reversed by flufenamic acid (FFA), implicating transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. Conversely, depletion of endogenous H₂O₂ by catalase, a peroxidase enzyme, decreased spontaneous firing rate and firing precision of SNr neurons, demonstrating tonic control of firing rate by H₂O₂. Elevation of H₂O₂ in the presence of FFA revealed an inhibition of tonic firing that was prevented by blockade of ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels with glibenclamide. In contrast to guinea-pig SNr neurons, the dominant effect of H₂O₂ elevation in mouse SNr GABAergic neurons was hyperpolarization, indicating a species difference in H₂O₂-dependent regulation. Thus, H₂O₂ is an endogenous modulator of SNr GABAergic neurons, acting primarily through presumed TRP channels in guinea-pig SNr, with additional modulation via K(ATP) channels to regulate SNr output.

Abstract
Nigral dopamine neurons are transiently activated by high frequency glutamatergic inputs relaying reward-predicting sensory information. The tonic firing pattern of dopamine cells responds to these inputs with a transient burst of spikes that requires NMDA receptors. Here, we show that NMDA receptor activation further excites the cell by recruiting a calcium-activated non-selective cation current (ICAN) capable of generating a plateau potential. Burst firing in vitro is eliminated after blockade of ICAN with flufenamic acid, 9-phenanthrol, or intracellular BAPTA. ICAN is likely to be mediated by a transient receptor potential (TRP) channel, and RT-PCR was used to confirm expression of TRPM2 and TRPM4mRNA in substantia nigra pars compacta.We propose that ICAN is selectively activated during burst firing to boost NMDA currents and allow plateau potentials. This boost mechanism may render DA cells vulnerable to excitotoxicity.

Abstract
Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) have emerged as signaling molecules in physiology primarily as a result of studies of uncoupling mechanisms in mitochondrial respiration. The discovery that this mechanism negatively regulates mROS generation in many cell types has drawn the attention of the scientific community to the pathological consequences of excess mROS production. From reports of the energetic fluxes in cells grown under normal conditions, the hypothesis that mROS are an integrated physiological signal of the metabolic status of the cell has emerged. Here, we consider recent studies that support this point of view in two key nutrient sensors of the body, beta cells and the hypothalamus, which are the main coordinators of endocrine and nervous controls of energy metabolism and adipose tissue, which is of paramount importance in controlling body weight and, therefore, the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes. In this context, finely balanced mROS production may be at the core of proper metabolic maintenance, and unbalanced mROS production, which is largely documented, might be an important trigger of metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Most physical illness in vertebrates involves inflammation. Inflammation causes disease by fluid shifts across cell membranes and cell layers, changes in muscle function and generation of pain. These disease processes can be explained by changes in numbers or function of ion channels. Changes in ion channels have been detected in diarrhoeal illnesses, pyelonephritis, allergy, acute lung injury and systemic inflammatory response syndromes involving septic shock. The key role played by changes in ion transport is directly evident in inflammation-induced pain. Expression or function of all major categories of ion channels like sodium, chloride, calcium, potassium, transient receptor potential, purinergic receptor and acid-sensing ion channels can be influenced by cyto- and chemokines, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, histamine, ATP, reactive oxygen species and protons released in inflammation. Key pathways in this interaction are cyclic nucleotide, phosphoinositide and mitogen-activated protein kinase-mediated signalling, direct modification by reactive oxygen species like nitric oxide, ATP or protons and disruption of the cytoskeleton. Therapeutic interventions to modulate the adverse and overlapping effects of the numerous different inflammatory mediators on each ion transport system need to target adversely affected ion transport systems directly and locally.
