Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3) protein belongs to the TRP family of nonselective cation channels. Its activation occurs by signaling through a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and a phospholipase C-dependent (PLC) pathway. Perturbations in the expression of TRPC3 are associated with a plethora of pathophysiological conditions responsible for disorders of the cardiovascular, immune, and central nervous systems. The recently solved cryo-EM structure of TRPC3 provides detailed inputs about the underlying mechanistic aspects of the channel, which in turn enables more efficient ways of designing small-molecule modulators. Pharmacologically targeting TRPC3 in animal models has demonstrated great efficacy in treating diseases including cancers, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. Despite extensive scientific evidence supporting some strong correlations between the expression and activity of TRPC3 and various pathophysiological conditions, therapeutic strategies based on its pharmacological modulations have not led to clinical trials. The development of small-molecule TRPC3 modulators with high safety, sufficient brain penetration, and acceptable drug-like profiles remains in progress. Determining the pathological mechanisms for TRPC3 involvement in human diseases and understanding the requirements for a drug-like TRPC3 modulator will be valuable in advancing small-molecule therapeutics to future clinical trials. In this review, we provide an overview of the origin and activation mechanism of TRPC3 channels, diseases associated with irregularities in their expression, and new development in small-molecule modulators as potential therapeutic interventions for treating TRPC3 channelopathies.

Abstract
There remains an unmet need to identify novel therapeutic strategies capable of protecting the myocardium against the detrimental effects of acute ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), to reduce myocardial infarct (MI) size and prevent the onset of heart failure (HF) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In this regard, perturbations in mitochondrial morphology with an imbalance in mitochondrial fusion and fission can disrupt mitochondrial metabolism, calcium homeostasis, and reactive oxygen species production, factors which are all known to be critical determinants of cardiomyocyte death following acute myocardial IRI. As such, therapeutic approaches directed at preserving the morphology and functionality of mitochondria may provide an important strategy for cardioprotection. In this article, we provide an overview of the alterations in mitochondrial morphology which occur in response to acute myocardial IRI, and highlight the emerging therapeutic strategies for targeting mitochondrial shape to preserve mitochondrial function which have the future therapeutic potential to improve health outcomes in patients presenting with AMI.

Transient Receptor Potential Canonical 6 (TRPC6) Channel in the Pathogenesis of Diseases: A Jack of Many Trades. Inflammation 2023:10.1007/s10753-023-01808-3. [PMID: 37072606 PMCID: PMC10112830 DOI: 10.1007/s10753-023-01808-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2023] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 04/20/2023]
Abstract
The mammalian Transient Receptor Potential Canonical (TRPC) subfamily comprises seven transmembrane proteins (TRPC1-7) forming cation channels in the plasma membrane of mammalian cells. TRPC channels mediate Ca2+ and Na+ influx into the cells. Amongst TRPCs, TRPC6 deficiency or increased activity due to gain-of-function mutations has been associated with a multitude of diseases, such as kidney disease, pulmonary disease, and neurological disease. Indeed, the TRPC6 protein is expressed in various organs and is involved in diverse signalling pathways. The last decade saw a surge in the investigative studies concerning the physiological roles of TRPC6 and describing the development of new pharmacological tools modulating TRPC6 activity. The current review summarizes the progress achieved in those investigations.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical 1 (TRPC1) channels are Ca2+-permeable ion channels expressed in cardiomyocytes. An involvement of TRPC1 channels in cardiac diseases is widely established. However, the physiological role of TRPC1 channels and the mechanisms through which they contribute to disease development are still under investigation. Our prior work suggested that TRPC1 forms Ca2+ leak channels located in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane. Prior studies suggested that TRPC1 channels in the cell membrane are mechanosensitive, but this was not yet investigated in cardiomyocytes or for SR localized TRPC1 channels. We applied adenoviral transfection to overexpress or suppress TRPC1 expression in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs). Transfections were evaluated with RT-qPCR, western blot, and fluorescent imaging. Single-molecule localization microscopy revealed high colocalization of exogenously expressed TRPC1 and the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2). To test our hypothesis that TRPC1 channels contribute to mechanosensitive Ca2+ SR leak, we directly measured SR Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]SR) using adenoviral transfection with a novel ratiometric genetically encoded SR-targeting Ca2+ sensor. We performed fluorescence imaging to quantitatively assess [Ca2+]SR and leak through TRPC1 channels of NRVMs cultured on stretchable silicone membranes. [Ca2+]SR was increased in cells with suppressed TRPC1 expression vs. control and Transient receptor potential canonical 1-overexpressing cells. We also detected a significant reduction in [Ca2+]SR in cells with Transient receptor potential canonical 1 overexpression when 10% uniaxial stretch was applied. These findings indicate that TRPC1 channels underlie the mechanosensitive modulation of [Ca2+]SR. Our findings are critical for understanding the physiological role of TRPC1 channels and support the development of pharmacological therapies for cardiac diseases.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains prevalent worldwide since its onset was confirmed in Wuhan, China in 2019. Vaccines against the causative virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), have shown a preventive effect against the onset and severity of COVID-19, and social and economic activities are gradually recovering. However, the presence of vaccine-resistant variants has been reported, and the development of therapeutic agents for patients with severe COVID-19 and related sequelae remains urgent. Drug repurposing, also called drug repositioning or eco-pharma, is the strategy of using previously approved and safe drugs for a therapeutic indication that is different from their original indication. The risk of severe COVID-19 and mortality increases with advancing age, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer. We have reported three protein-protein interactions that are related to heart failure, and recently identified that one mechanism increases the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in mammalian cells. This review outlines the global efforts and outcomes of drug repurposing research for the treatment of severe COVID-19. It also discusses our recent finding of a new protein-protein interaction that is common to COVID-19 aggravation and heart failure.

Abstract
Due to longer lifespans in societies in industrialized countries, cardiovascular diseases are becoming increasingly important for medical research. It has already been shown that the cell membrane-bound, non-selective TRPC6 ion channel is important in the pathogenesis of heart diseases. Among other things, it is permeable to calcium ion, which plays a critical role in cardiac contraction and relaxation. The TRPC6 ion channel is a promising therapeutic target in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. A deeper understanding of the physiological and pathophysiological role as well as the localization of TRPC6 in human cardiac tissue is the basis for new drug development. Although the TRPC6 channel has been detected in animal studies, at the mRNA level in humans, and sparse TRPC6 protein has been detected in humans, there are no systematic studies of TRPC6 protein detection in the human heart. For the first time, TRPC6 ion channel protein was detected histologically in human heart tissue from body donors in different structures, localizations, and histological layers - particularly in cardiomyocytes and intramuscular arterioles - by immunohistochemistry, just as TRPC6 expression has already been shown in animal models of the heart by other research groups. In the sense of the translational concept, this indicates a possible transferability of research results from animal models to humans.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) is a non-selective cation channel, which is involved in the endogenous stress adaptation mechanism for protection of the heart as well as the occurrence and development of some heart diseases. Although the effect of activation of the TRPV1 channel on different types of non-neural cells in the heart remains unclear, most data show that stimulation of sensory nerves expressing TRPV1 or stimulation/overexpression of the TRPV1 channel has a beneficial role in heart disease. Some studies have proven that TRPV1 has an important relationship with pathological myocardial hypertrophy, but the specific mechanism and effect are not clear. In order to help researchers better understand the relationship between TRPV1 and pathological myocardial hypertrophy, this paper aims to summarize the effect of TRPV1 and the related mechanism in the occurrence and development of pathological myocardial hypertrophy from the following three points of view: 1) role of TRPV1 in alleviation of pathological myocardial hypertrophy; 2) role of TRPV1 in aggravation of pathological myocardial hypertrophy; and 3) the point of view of our team of researchers. It is expected that new therapies can provide potential targets for pathological myocardial hypertrophy.

Abstract
Sneezing (sternutatio) is a poorly understood polysynaptic physiologic reflex phenomenon. Sneezing has exerted a strange fascination on humans throughout history, and induced sneezing was widely used by physicians for therapeutic purposes, on the assumption that sneezing eliminates noxious factors from the body, mainly from the head. The present contribution examines the various mixtures used for inducing sneezes (remedia sternutatoria) over the centuries. The majority of the constituents of the sneeze-inducing remedies are modulators of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. The TRP channel superfamily consists of large heterogeneous groups of channels that play numerous physiological roles such as thermosensation, chemosensation, osmosensation and mechanosensation. Sneezing is associated with the activation of the wasabi receptor, (TRPA1), typical ligand is allyl isothiocyanate and the hot chili pepper receptor, (TRPV1), typical agonist is capsaicin, in the vagal sensory nerve terminals, activated by noxious stimulants.

Transcriptional signatures regulated by TRPC1/C4-mediated Background Ca 2+ entry after pressure-overload induced cardiac remodelling. PROGRESS IN BIOPHYSICS AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2020; 159:86-104.

Abstract
AIMS After summarizing current concepts for the role of TRPC cation channels in cardiac cells and in processes triggered by mechanical stimuli arising e.g. during pressure overload, we analysed the role of TRPC1 and TRPC4 for background Ca2+ entry (BGCE) and for cardiac pressure overload induced transcriptional remodelling. METHODS AND RESULTS Mn2+-quench analysis in cardiomyocytes from several Trpc-deficient mice revealed that both TRPC1 and TRPC4 are required for BGCE. Electrically-evoked cell shortening of cardiomyocytes from TRPC1/C4-DKO mice was reduced, whereas parameters of cardiac contractility and relaxation assessed in vivo were unaltered. As pathological cardiac remodelling in mice depends on their genetic background, and the development of cardiac remodelling was found to be reduced in TRPC1/C4-DKO mice on a mixed genetic background, we studied TRPC1/C4-DKO mice on a C57BL6/N genetic background. Cardiac hypertrophy was reduced in those mice after chronic isoproterenol infusion (-51.4%) or after one week of transverse aortic constriction (TAC; -73.0%). This last manoeuvre was preceded by changes in the pressure overload induced transcriptional program as analysed by RNA sequencing. Genes encoding specific collagens, the Mef2 target myomaxin and the gene encoding the mechanosensitive channel Piezo2 were up-regulated after TAC in wild type but not in TRPC1/C4-DKO hearts. CONCLUSIONS Deletion of the TRPC1 and TRPC4 channel proteins protects against development of pathological cardiac hypertrophy independently of the genetic background. To determine if the TRPC1/C4-dependent changes in the pressure overload induced alterations in the transcriptional program causally contribute to cardio-protection needs to be elaborated in future studies.

Abstract
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play a pivotal role in the stability and tonic regulation of vascular homeostasis. VSMCs can switch back and forth between highly proliferative (synthetic) and fully differentiated (contractile) phenotypes in response to changes in the vessel environment. Abnormal phenotypic switching of VSMCs is a distinctive characteristic of vascular disorders, including atherosclerosis, pulmonary hypertension, stroke, and peripheral artery disease; however, how the control of VSMC phenotypic switching is dysregulated under pathological conditions remains obscure. Canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels have attracted attention as a key regulator of pathological phenotype switching in VSMCs. Several TRPC subfamily member proteins—especially TRPC1 and TRPC6—are upregulated in pathological VSMCs, and pharmacological inhibition of TRPC channel activity has been reported to improve hypertensive vascular remodeling in rodents. This review summarizes the current understanding of the role of TRPC channels in cardiovascular plasticity, including our recent finding that TRPC6 participates in aberrant VSMC phenotype switching under ischemic conditions, and discusses the therapeutic potential of TRPC channels.

TRPC3 deficiency attenuates high salt-induced cardiac hypertrophy by alleviating cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2019; 519:674-681. [PMID: 31543348 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2019.09.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2019] [Revised: 09/04/2019] [Accepted: 09/06/2019] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
Long-term high salt intake leads to cardiac hypertrophy, but the mechanism remains elusive. Transient receptor potential channel, canonical 3(TRPC3), located in mitochondria, regulates mitochondrial calcium and reactive oxygen species(ROS) production. Herein, we investigated whether TRPC3 participates in high salt-induced cardiac hypertrophy by impairing cardiac mitochondrial function. High salt treatment increased the expression of mitochondrial TRPC3 in cardiomyocytes, accompanied by enhanced mitochondrial calcium uptake and elevated ROS production. Inhibition of TRPC3 significantly reduced high salt-induced ROS generation, promoted ATP production by stimulating oxidative phosphorylation, and increased enzyme activity in mitochondria in cardiomyocytes. Additionally, TRPC3 deficiency inhibited high salt-induced cardiac hypertrophy in vivo. A long-term high salt diet increased cardiac mitochondrial TRPC3 expression, elevated expression of cardiac hypertrophic markers atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP),brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and β-myosin heavy chain (β-MHC) and decreased ATP production and mitochondrial complex I and II enzyme activity in a TRPC3-dependent manner. TRPC3 deficiency antagonises high salt diet-mediated cardiac hypertrophy by ameliorating TRPC3-mediated cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction. TRPC3 may therefore represent a novel target for preventing high salt-induced cardiac damage.

Abstract
Atria-selective antiarrhythmic drugs in need of alliance partners. Guideline-based treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) comprises prevention of thromboembolism and stroke, as well as antiarrhythmic therapy by drugs, electrical rhythm conversion, ablation and surgical procedures. Conventional antiarrhythmic drugs are burdened with unwanted side effects including a propensity of triggering life-threatening ventricular fibrillation. In order to solve this therapeutic dilemma, 'atria-selective' antiarrhythmic drugs have been developed for the treatment of supraventricular arrhythmias. These drugs are designed to aim at atrial targets, taking advantage of differences in atrial and ventricular ion channel expression and function. However it is not clear, whether such drugs are sufficiently antiarrhythmic or whether they are in need of an alliance partner for clinical efficacy. Atria-selective Na+ channel blockers display fast dissociation kinetics and high binding affinity to inactivated channels. Compounds targeting atria-selective K+ channels include blockers of ultra rapid delayed rectifier (Kv1.5) or acetylcholine-activated inward rectifier K+ channels (Kir3.x), inward rectifying K+ channels (Kir2.x), Ca2+-activated K+ channels of small conductance (SK), weakly rectifying two-pore domain K+ channels (K2P), and transient receptor potential channels (TRP). Despite good antiarrhythmic data from in-vitro and animal model experiments, clinical efficacy of atria-selective antiarrhythmic drugs remains to be demonstrated. In the present review we will briefly summarize the novel compounds and their proposed antiarrhythmic action. In addition, we will discuss the evidence for putative improvement of antiarrhythmic efficacy and potency by addressing multiple pathophysiologically relevant targets as possible alliance partners.

Abstract
Calcium is an important second messenger required not only for the excitation-contraction coupling of the heart but also critical for the activation of cell signaling pathways involved in the adverse cardiac remodeling and consequently for the heart failure. Sustained neurohumoral activation, pressure-overload, or myocardial injury can cause pathologic hypertrophic growth of the heart followed by interstitial fibrosis. The consequent heart’s structural and molecular adaptation might elevate the risk of developing heart failure and malignant arrhythmia. Compelling evidences have demonstrated that Ca2+ entry through TRP channels might play pivotal roles in cardiac function and pathology. TRP proteins are classified into six subfamilies: TRPC (canonical), TRPV (vanilloid), TRPM (melastatin), TRPA (ankyrin), TRPML (mucolipin), and TRPP (polycystin), which are activated by numerous physical and/or chemical stimuli. TRP channels participate to the handling of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration in cardiac myocytes and are mediators of different cardiovascular alterations. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge of TRP proteins implication in the pathologic process of some frequent cardiac diseases associated with the adverse cardiac remodeling such as cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and conduction alteration.

Abstract
Moderate exercise has been reported to combat several diseases, including cardiovascular diseases and depressants. However, many patients do not have ability to undergo exercise therapy due to aging and severity of the symptoms. Therefore development of new drugs that can imitate exercise therapy is desired and actually studied worldwide. The heart is one of the physical load-responsive target organs such as skeletal muscles and vascular smooth muscles. The heart can adapt from environmental stress by changing its structure and morphology (i.e., remodeling). Physiological remodeling, caused by exercise or pregnancy, can be defined by compensative and reversible changes to the heart, whereas pathological remodeling can be defined by irreversible changes of the heart, through aberrant calcium ion (Ca2+) signaling as well as production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, crosstalk between Ca2+ and ROS remains obscure. In this review we will introduce our recent findings on the functional crosstalk between transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) 3 and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase (Nox) 2 as a novel molecular target to mimic exercise therapy.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF) is largely dependent on structural remodeling and electrical reconfiguration, which in turn drive localized fibrosis. Canonical transient receptor potential 3 (TRPC3) channel is indispensable regulator of fibrosis development, promoting fibroblasts to transition into myofibroblasts via intracellular Ca2+ overload. TRPC3 is a non-voltage gated, non-selective cation channel that regulates the permeability of the cell to Ca2+. When subjected to various external physical and chemical stimuli, such as angiotensin II (AngII), mechanical stretch, hypoxia, or oxidative stress, TRPC3 coordinates with downstream signal transduction pathways to alter gene expression and thereby regulate a number of distinct pathological patterns and mechanisms. This review will focus on how TRPC3 affects AF pathogenesis by exploring the underlying mechanisms governing fibrosis associated with particular signaling proteins, ultimately highlighting the characteristics of TPRC3 that mark it as a novel therapeutic target for AF alleviation.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 4 (TRPM4) channel influences calcium homeostasis during many physiological activities such as insulin secretion, immune response, respiratory reaction, and cerebral vasoconstriction. This calcium-activated, monovalent, selective cation channel also plays a key role in cardiovascular pathophysiology; for example, a mutation in the TRPM4 channel leads to cardiac conduction disease. Recently, it has been suggested that the TRPM4 channel is also involved in the development of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury, which causes myocardial infarction. In the present review, we discuss the physiological function of the TRPM4 channel, and assess its role in cardiovascular pathophysiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In vivo experiments in Goto-Kakizaki (GK) type 2 diabetic rats have demonstrated reductions in heart rate from a young age. The expression of genes encoding more than 70 proteins that are associated with the generation and conduction of electrical activity in the GK sinoatrial node (SAN) have been evaluated to further clarify the molecular basis of the low heart rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS Heart rate and expression of genes were evaluated with an extracellular electrode and real-time RT-PCR, respectively. Rats aged 12-13 months were employed in these experiments. RESULTS Isolated spontaneous heart rate was reduced in GK heart (161 ± 12 bpm) compared to controls (229 ± 11 bpm). There were many differences in expression of mRNA, and some of these differences were of particular interest. Compared to control SAN, expression of some genes were downregulated in GK-SAN: gap junction, Gja1 (Cx43), Gja5 (Cx40), Gjc1 (Cx45), and Gjd3 (Cx31.9); cell membrane transport, Trpc1 (TRPC1) and Trpc6 (TRPC6); hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channels, Hcn1 (HCN1) and Hcn4 (HCN4); calcium channels, Cacna1d (Cav1.3), Cacna1g (Cav3.1), Cacna1h (Cav3.2), Cacna2d1 (Cavα2δ1), Cacna2d3 (Cavα2δ3), and Cacng4 (Cav γ 4); and potassium channels, Kcna2 (Kv1.2), Kcna4 (Kv1.4), Kcna5 (Kv1.5), Kcnb1 (Kv2.1), Kcnd3 (Kv4.3), Kcnj2 (Kir2.1), Kcnk1 (TWIK1), Kcnk5 (K2P5.1), Kcnk6 (TWIK2), and Kcnn2 (SK2) whilst others were upregulated in GK-SAN: Ryr2 (RYR2) and Nppb (BNP). CONCLUSIONS This study provides new insight into the changing expression of genes in the sinoatrial node of diabetic heart.

Abstract
Cardiac stiffness, caused by interstitial fibrosis due to deposition of extracellular matrix proteins, is thought as a major clinical outcome of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) subfamily proteins are components of Ca2+-permeable non-selective cation channels activated by receptor stimulation and mechanical stress, and have been attracted attention as a key mediator of maladaptive cardiac remodeling. How TRPC-mediated local Ca2+ influx encodes a specific signal to induce maladaptive cardiac remodeling has been long obscure, but our recent studies suggest a pathophysiological significance of channel activity-independent function of TRPC proteins for amplifying redox signaling in heart. This review introduces the current understanding of the physiological and pathophysiological roles of TRPCs, especially focuses on the role of TRPC3 as a positive regulator of reactive oxygen species (PRROS) in heart. We have revealed that TRPC3 stabilizes NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox2), a membrane-bound reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating enzyme, by forming stable protein complex with Nox2, which leads to amplification of mechanical stress-induced ROS signaling in cardiomyocytes, resulting in induction of fibrotic responses in cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts. Thus, the TRPC3 function as PRROS will offer a new therapeutic strategy for the prevention or treatment of HFpEF.

Abstract
Excess production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) caused by hyperglycemia is a major risk factor for heart failure. We previously reported that transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3) channel mediates pressure overload-induced maladaptive cardiac fibrosis by forming stably functional complex with NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox2). Although TRPC3 has been long suggested to form hetero-multimer channels with TRPC6 and function as diacylglycerol-activated cation channels coordinately, the role of TRPC6 in heart is still obscure. We here demonstrated that deletion of TRPC6 had no impact on pressure overload-induced heart failure despite inhibiting interstitial fibrosis in mice. TRPC6-deficient mouse hearts 1 week after transverse aortic constriction showed comparable increases in fibrotic gene expressions and ROS production but promoted inductions of inflammatory cytokines, compared to wild type hearts. Treatment of TRPC6-deficient mice with streptozotocin caused severe reduction of cardiac contractility with enhancing urinary and cardiac lipid peroxide levels, compared to wild type and TRPC3-deficient mice. Knockdown of TRPC6, but not TRPC3, enhanced basal expression levels of cytokines in rat cardiomyocytes. TRPC6 could interact with Nox2, but the abundance of TRPC6 was inversely correlated with that of Nox2. These results strongly suggest that Nox2 destabilization through disrupting TRPC3-Nox2 complex underlies attenuation of hyperglycemia-induced heart failure by TRPC6.

Abstract
Myocardial atrophy is a wasting of cardiac muscle due to hemodynamic unloading. Doxorubicin is a highly effective anticancer agent but also induces myocardial atrophy through a largely unknown mechanism. Here, we demonstrate that inhibiting transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3) channels abolishes doxorubicin-induced myocardial atrophy in mice. Doxorubicin increased production of ROS in rodent cardiomyocytes through hypoxic stress-mediated upregulation of NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox2), which formed a stable complex with TRPC3. Cardiomyocyte-specific expression of TRPC3 C-terminal minipeptide inhibited TRPC3-Nox2 coupling and suppressed doxorubicin-induced reduction of myocardial cell size and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, along with its upregulation of Nox2 and oxidative stress, without reducing hypoxic stress. Voluntary exercise, an effective treatment to prevent doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, also downregulated the TRPC3-Nox2 complex and promoted volume load-induced LV compliance, as demonstrated in TRPC3-deficient hearts. These results illustrate the impact of TRPC3 on LV compliance and flexibility and, focusing on the TRPC3-Nox2 complex, provide a strategy for prevention of doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy.

Deletion of TRPC6 Attenuates NMDA Receptor-Mediated Ca 2+ Entry and Ca 2+-Induced Neurotoxicity Following Cerebral Ischemia and Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation. Front Neurosci 2017; 11:138.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6) channels are permeable to Na+ and Ca2+ and are widely expressed in the brain. In this study, the role of TRPC6 was investigated following ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). We found that TRPC6 expression was increased in wild-type (WT) mice cortical neurons following I/R and in primary neurons with OGD, and that deletion of TRPC6 reduced the I/R-induced brain infarct in mice and the OGD- /neurotoxin-induced neuronal death. Using live-cell imaging to examine intracellular Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i), we found that OGD induced a significant higher increase in glutamate-evoked Ca2+ influx compared to untreated control and such an increase was reduced by TRPC6 deletion. Enhancement of TRPC6 expression using AdCMV-TRPC6-GFP infection in WT neurons increased [Ca2+]i in response to glutamate application compared to AdCMV-GFP control. Inhibition of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid receptor (NMDAR) with MK801 decreased TRPC6-dependent increase of [Ca2+]i in TRPC6 infected cells, indicating that such a Ca2+ influx was NMDAR dependent. Furthermore, TRPC6-dependent Ca2+ influx was blunted by blockade of Na+ entry in TRPC6 infected cells. Finally, OGD-enhanced Ca2+ influx was reduced, but not completely blocked, in the presence of voltage-dependent Na+ channel blocker tetrodotoxin (TTX) and dl-α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) blocker CNQX. Altogether, we concluded that I/R-induced brain damage was, in part, due to upregulation of TRPC6 in cortical neurons. We postulate that overexpression of TRPC6 following I/R may induce neuronal death partially through TRPC6-dependent Na+ entry which activated NMDAR, thus leading to a damaging Ca2+ overload. These findings may provide a potential target for future intervention in stroke-induced brain damage.

TRPC3 positively regulates reactive oxygen species driving maladaptive cardiac remodeling. Sci Rep 2016; 6:37001.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox2) function as key mediators of mechanotransduction during both physiological adaptation to mechanical load and maladaptive remodeling of the heart. This is despite low levels of cardiac Nox2 expression. The mechanism underlying the transition from adaptation to maladaptation remains obscure, however. We demonstrate that transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3), a Ca2+-permeable channel, acts as a positive regulator of ROS (PRROS) in cardiomyocytes, and specifically regulates pressure overload-induced maladaptive cardiac remodeling in mice. TRPC3 physically interacts with Nox2 at specific C-terminal sites, thereby protecting Nox2 from proteasome-dependent degradation and amplifying Ca2+-dependent Nox2 activation through TRPC3-mediated background Ca2+ entry. Nox2 also stabilizes TRPC3 proteins to enhance TRPC3 channel activity. Expression of TRPC3 C-terminal polypeptide abolished TRPC3-regulated ROS production by disrupting TRPC3-Nox2 interaction, without affecting TRPC3-mediated Ca2+ influx. The novel TRPC3 function as a PRROS provides a mechanistic explanation for how diastolic Ca2+ influx specifically encodes signals to induce ROS-mediated maladaptive remodeling and offers new therapeutic possibilities.

Abstract
Background Experiments in isolated perfused heart have shown that heart rate is lower and sinoatrial node (SAN) action potential duration is longer in streptozotocin (STZ)–induced diabetic rat compared to controls. In sino-atrial preparations the pacemaker cycle length and sino-atrial conduction time are prolonged in STZ heart. To further clarify the molecular basis of electrical disturbances in the diabetic heart the profile of mRNA encoding a wide variety of proteins associated with the generation and transmission of electrical activity has been evaluated in the SAN of STZ-induced diabetic rat heart. Methodology/Principal Findings Heart rate was measured in isolated perfused heart with an extracellular suction electrode. Expression of mRNA encoding a variety of intercellular proteins, intracellular Ca2+-transport and regulatory proteins, cell membrane transport proteins and calcium, sodium and potassium channel proteins were measured in SAN and right atrial (RA) biopsies using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction techniques. Heart rate was lower in STZ (203±7 bpm) compared to control (239±11 bpm) rat. Among many differences in the profile of mRNA there are some worthy of particular emphasis. Expression of genes encoding some proteins were significantly downregulated in STZ-SAN: calcium channel, Cacng4 (7-fold); potassium channel, Kcnd2 whilst genes encoding some other proteins were significantly upregulated in STZ-SAN: gap junction, Gjc1; cell membrane transport, Slc8a1, Trpc1, Trpc6 (4-fold); intracellular Ca2+-transport, Ryr3; calcium channel Cacna1g, Cacna1h, Cacnb3; potassium channels, Kcnj5, Kcnk3 and natriuretic peptides, Nppa (5-fold) and Nppb (7-fold). Conclusions/Significance Collectively, this study has demonstrated differences in the profile of mRNA encoding a variety of proteins that are associated with the generation, conduction and regulation of electrical signals in the SAN of STZ-induced diabetic rat heart. Data from this study will provide a basis for a substantial range of future studies to investigate whether these changes in mRNA translate into changes in electrophysiological function.

Abstract
Despite considerable advances in the research and treatment, the precise relationship between inflammation and cardiovascular (CV) disease remains incompletely understood. Therefore, understanding the immunoinflammatory processes underlying the initiation, progression, and exacerbation of many cardiovascular diseases is of prime importance. The innate immune system has an ancient origin and is well conserved across species. Its activation occurs in response to pathogens or tissue injury. Recent studies suggest that altered ionic balance, and production of noxious gaseous mediators link to immune and inflammatory responses with altered ion channel expression and function. Among plausible candidates for this are transient receptor potential (TRP) channels that function as polymodal sensors and scaffolding proteins involved in many physiological and pathological processes. In this review, we will first focus on the relevance of TRP channel to both exogenous and endogenous factors related to innate immune response and transcription factors related to sustained inflammatory status. The emerging role of inflammasome to regulate innate immunity and its possible connection to TRP channels will also be discussed. Secondly, we will discuss about the linkage of TRP channels to inflammatory CV diseases, from a viewpoint of inflammation in a general sense which is not restricted to the innate immunity. These knowledge may serve to provide new insights into the pathogenesis of various inflammatory CV diseases and their novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation and subsequent fibrosis induced by mechanical stress play an important role in ligamentum flavum (LF) hypertrophy and degeneration in patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS). Angiopoietin-like protein 2 (Angptl2) is a chronic inflammatory mediator induced under various pathological conditions and increases the expression of TGF-β1, which is a well-characterized mediator in LF hypertrophy. We investigated whether Angptl2 is induced by mechanical stress, and whether it contributes to LF hypertrophy and degeneration by activating the TGF-β1 signaling cascade. In this study, we investigated human LF tissue and LF fibroblasts isolated from patients who underwent lumbar surgery. We found that Angptl2 was abundantly expressed in fibroblasts of hypertrophied LF tissues at both the mRNA and protein levels. This expression was not only positively correlated with LF thickness and degeneration but also positively correlated with lumbar segmental motion. Our in vitro experiments with fibroblasts from hypertrophied LF tissue revealed that mechanical stretching stress increases the expression and secretion of Angptl2 via activation of calcineurin/NFAT pathways. In hypertrophied LF tissue, expression of TGF-β1 mRNA was also increased and TGF-β1/Smad signaling was activated. Angptl2 expression in LF tissue was positively correlated with the expression of TGF-β1 mRNA, suggesting cooperation between Angptl2 and TGF-β1 in the pathogenesis of LF hypertrophy. In vitro experiments revealed that Angptl2 increased levels of TGF-β1 and its receptors, and also activated TGF-β1/Smad signaling. Mechanical stretching stress increased TGF-β1 mRNA expression, which was partially attenuated by treatment with a calcineurin/NFAT inhibitor or Angptl2 siRNA, indicating that induction of TGF-β1 expression by mechanical stretching stress is partially mediated by Angptl2. We conclude that expression of Angptl2 induced by mechanical stress in LF fibroblasts promotes LF tissue degeneration by activation of TGF-β1/Smad signaling, which results in LF hypertrophy in patients with LSCS.

Abstract
Lead optimization of piperidine amide HTS hits, based on an anilino-thiazole core, led to the identification of analogs which displayed low nanomolar blocking activity at the canonical transient receptor channels 3 and 6 (TRPC3 & 6) based on FLIPR (carbachol stimulated) and electrophysiology (OAG stimulated) assays. In addition, the anilino-thiazole amides displayed good selectivity over other TRP channels (TRPA1, TRPV1, and TRPV4), as well as against cardiac ion channels (CaV1.2, hERG, and NaV1.5). The high oxidation potential of the aliphatic piperidine and aniline groups, as well as the lability of the thiazole amide group contributed to the high clearance observed for this class of compounds. Conversion of an isoquinoline amide to a naphthyridine amide markedly reduced clearance for the bicyclic piperidines, and improved oral bioavailability for this compound series, however TRPC3 and TRPC6 blocking activity was reduced substantially. Although the most potent anilino-thiazole amides ultimately lacked oral exposure in rodents and were not suitable for chronic dosing, analogs such as 14-19, 22, and 23 are potentially valuable in vitro tool compounds for investigating the role of TRPC3 and TRPC6 in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Cell death proceeds by way of a variety of “cell death subroutines,” including several types of “apoptosis,” “regulated necrosis,” and others. “Accidental necrosis” due to profound adenosine triphosphate (ATP) depletion or oxidative stress is distinguished from regulated necrosis by the absence of death receptor signaling. However, both accidental and regulated necrosis have in common the process of “oncosis,” a physiological process characterized by Na+ influx and cell volume increase that, in necrotic cell death, is required to produce the characteristic features of membrane blebbing and membrane rupture. Here, we review emerging evidence that the monovalent cation channel, transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4), is involved in the cell death process of oncosis. Potential involvement of TRPM4 in oncosis is suggested by the fact that the two principal regulators of TRPM4, intracellular ATP and Ca2+, are both altered during necrosis in the direction that causes TRPM4 channel opening. Under physiological conditions, activation of TRPM4 promotes Na+ influx and cell depolarization. Under pathological conditions, unchecked activation of TRPM4 leads to Na+ overload, cell volume increase, blebbing and cell membrane rupture, the latter constituting the irreversible end stage of necrosis. Emerging data indicate that TRPM4 plays a crucial role as end executioner in the accidental necrotic death of ATP-depleted or redox-challenged endothelial and epithelial cells, both in vitro and in vivo. Future studies will be needed to determine whether TRPM4 also plays a role in regulated necrosis and apoptosis.

Abstract
Decidualization is an ovarian steroid-induced remodeling/differentiation process of uterus essential for embryo implantation and placentation. Here, we investigated the possible involvement of enhanced Ca²⁺ dynamics in the decidualization process in human endometrial stromal cells (hESC) in its connection with a recently emerging nonvoltage-gated Ca²⁺ entry channel superfamily, the transient receptor potential (TRP) protein. Combined application of 17β-estradiol (E₂) (10 nM) and progesterone (P₄) (1 μM) for 7-14 d resulted in morphological changes of hESC characteristic of decidualization (i.e. cell size increase), whereas sole application of E₂ exerted little effects. A 7- to 14-d E₂/P₄ treatment greatly increased the expression level of decidualization markers IGF binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) and prolactin and also up-regulated the expression of TRPC1, a canonical TRP subfamily member that has been implicated in store-operated Ca²⁺ influx (SOC) in other cell types. In parallel with this up-regulation, SOC activity in hESC, the nuclear translocation of phosphorylated cAMP responsive element binding protein (p-CREB) and the expression of Forkhead box protein 01 were enhanced significantly. Small interfering RNA knockdown of TRPC1 counteracted the E₂/P₄-induced up-regulation of IGFBP-1 and prolactin and enhancement of SOC activity together with the inhibition of hESC size increase, p-CREB nuclear translocation, and FOXO1 up-regulation. Coadministration of SOC inhibitors SK&F96365 or Gd³⁺ with E₂/P₄ also suppressed the up-regulation of IGFBP-1 and hESC size increase. Similar inhibitory effects were observed with extracellularly applied TRPC1 extracellular loop 3-directed antibody, which is known to bind a near-pore domain of TRPC1 channel and block its Ca²⁺ transporting activity. These results strongly suggest that up-regulation of TRPC1 protein and consequent enhancement of SOC-mediated Ca²⁺ influx may serve as a crucial step for the decidualization process of hESC probably via p-CREB-dependent transcriptional activity associated with FOXO1 activation.

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
Activation of transient receptor potential (TRP) canonical TRPC3/C6/C7 channels by diacylglycerol (DAG) upon stimulation of phospholipase C (PLC)-coupled receptors results in the breakdown of phosphoinositides (PIPs). The critical importance of PIPs to various ion-transporting molecules is well documented, but their function in relation to TRPC3/C6/C7 channels remains controversial. By using an ectopic voltage-sensing PIP phosphatase (DrVSP), we found that dephosphorylation of PIPs robustly inhibits currents induced by carbachol (CCh), 1-oleolyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG) or RHC80267 in TRPC3, TRPC6 and TRPC7 channels, though the strength of the DrVSP-mediated inhibition (VMI) varied among the channels with a rank order of C7>C6>C3. Pharmacological and molecular interventions suggest that depletion of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P₂) is most likely the critical event for VMI in all three channels.When the PLC catalytic signal was vigorously activated through overexpression of the muscarinic type-I receptor (M1R), the inactivation of macroscopic TRPC currents was greatly accelerated in the same rank order as the VMI, and VMI of these currents was attenuated or lost. VMI was also rarely detected in vasopressin-induced TRPC6-like currents inA7r5 vascular smooth muscle cells, indicating that the inactivation by PI(4,5)P₂ depletion underlies the physiological condition. Simultaneous fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based measurement of PI(4,5)P₂ levels and TRPC6 currents confirmed that VMI magnitude reflects the degree of PI(4,5)P₂ depletion. These results demonstrate that TRPC3/C6/C7 channels are differentially regulated by depletion of PI(4,5)P₂, and that the bimodal signal produced by PLC activation controls these channels in a self-limiting manner.

Abstract
Heart failure is a major cause of death in developed countries, and the development of an epoch-making cure is desired from the viewpoint for improving the quality of life and reducing the medical cost of the patient. The importance of neurohumoral factors, such as angiotensin (Ang) II and catecholamine, for the progression of heart failure has been supported by a variety of evidence. These agonists stimulate seven transmembrane-spanning receptors that are coupled to heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G proteins). Using specific pharmacological tools to assess the involvement of G protein signaling pathways, we have revealed that α subunit of G(q) (Gα(q)) activates Ca(2+)-dependent hypertrophic signaling through diacylglycerol-activated transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels (TRPC3 and TRPC6: TRPC3/6). In contrast, activation of Gα(12) family proteins in cardiomyocytes confers pressure overload-induced cardiac fibrosis via stimulation of purinergic P2Y(6) receptors induced by extracellular nucleotides released from cardiomyocytes. In fact, direct or indirect inhibition of TRPC3/6 or P2Y(6) receptors attenuates pressure overload-induced cardiac dysfunction. These findings will provide a new insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying pathogenesis of heart failure.

Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy is an increase in the muscle volume of the ventricle due to the enlargement of cardiac cells. Physiological cardiac hypertrophy is the normal response to healthy exercise, and pathological hypertrophy is the response to increased stress such as hypertension. Intracellular and extracellular aniosmotic conditions also change cell volume. Since persistent cell swelling or cell shrinkage during aniosmotic conditions results in cell death, the ability to regulate cell volume is important for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Cell swelling activates a regulatory volume decrease (RVD) response in which solute leakage pathways are stimulated and solute with water exits cells, reducing the cell volume towards the original value. In cardiac cells, one of the essential factors for cell-volume regulation is the volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC). However, the relationship between cardiac hypertrophy and cell-volume regulation is not clear. In this review, we introduce our recent findings showing that the impairment of VRAC current is exhibited in ventricular cells from mice with cardiac hypertrophy induced by transverse aortic constriction. Similar results were shown in caveolin-3-deficient mice, which develop cardiac hypertrophy without pressure overload. These results suggest that VRAC will be a new target for protection from the development of cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
Mutations in the serine-threonine kinase with-no-lysine 4 (WNK4) cause pseudohypoaldosteronism type 2 (PHAII), a Mendelian form of human hypertension. WNK4 regulates diverse ion transporters in the kidney, and dysregulation of renal transporters is considered the main cause of the WNK4 mutation-associated hypertension. Another determinant of hypertension is vascular tone that is regulated by Ca(2+)-dependent blood vessel constriction. However, the role of WNK4 in vasoconstriction as part of its function to regulate blood pressure is not known. Here, we report that WNK4 is a unique modulator of blood pressure by restricting Ca(2+) influx via the transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3) channel in the vasculature. Loss of WNK4 markedly augmented TRPC3-mediated Ca(2+) influx in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in response to α-adrenoreceptor stimulation, which is the pathological hallmark of hypertension in resistance arteries. Notably, WNK4 depletion induced hypertrophic cell growth in VSMCs and increased vasoconstriction in small mesenteric arteries via TRPC3-mediated Ca(2+) influx. In addition, WNK4 mutants harboring the Q562E PHAII-causing or the D318A kinase-inactive mutation failed to mediate TRPC3 inhibition. These results define a previously undescribed function of WNK4 and reveal a unique therapeutic target to control blood pressure in WNK4-related hypertension.

Abstract
Left ventricular hypertrophy due to hypertension represents a major risk factor for adverse cardiovascular events and death. In recent years, the prevalence of cardiac hypertrophy has increased due to obesity and an aging population. Notably, a significant number of individuals have persistent cardiac hypertrophy in the face of blood pressure that is normalized by drug treatment. Thus, a better understanding of the processes underlying the cardiac remodeling events that are set into play by hypertension is needed. At the level of the cardiac myocytes, hypertrophic growth is often described as physiological, as occurs with exercise, or pathological, as seen with hypertension. Here we discuss recent developments in three areas that are fundamental to pathological hypertrophic growth of cardiac myocytes. These areas are the transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complexes, and histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes. In the last several years, studies in each of these areas have yielded new and exciting discoveries into the genesis of pathological growth of cardiac myocytes. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase-Akt signaling network may be the common denominator that links these areas together. Defining the interrelationship among TRPC channels, mTOR signaling, and HDAC enzymes is a promising, but challenging area of research. Such knowledge will undoubtedly lead to new drugs that better prevent or reverse left ventricular hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs) play an important role in cell-volume regulation. alpha(1)-Adrenoceptor stimulation by phenylephrine (PE) suppressed the hypotonic activation of VRAC current in mouse ventricular cells and regulatory volume decrease (RVD) was also absent in PE-treated cells. We examined whether the effects of alpha(1)-adrenoceptor stimuli on VRAC current were modulated by phosphatidylinositol signalling. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Whole-cell patch-clamp method was used to record the hypotonicity-induced VRAC current in mouse ventricular cells. RVD was analyzed by videomicroscopic measurement of cell images. KEY RESULTS The attenuation of VRAC current by PE was suppressed by alpha(1A)-adrenoceptor antagonists (prazosin and WB-4101), anti-G(q) protein antibody and a specific phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor (U-73122), but not by antagonists for alpha(1B)-, alpha(1D)- or beta-adrenoceptor, or protein kinase C inhibitors. The inhibition of VRAC by PE was antagonized by intracellular excess phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)), while intracellular anti-PIP(2) antibody (PIP(2) Ab) inhibited the activation of VRAC currents. When cells were loaded with phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP(3)) with or without PIP(2) Ab, PE little affected the VRAC current. Extracellular m-3M3FBS (an activator of PLC) suppressed VRAC in the absence of PE, and this effect was reversed by intracellular excess PIP(2). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Our results indicate that the stimulation of alpha(1A)-adrenoceptors by PE inhibited the activation of cardiac VRAC current via PIP(3) depletion brought about by PLC-dependent reduction of membrane PIP(2) level.

Abstract
RATIONALE Atrial and brain natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP, respectively) exert antihypertrophic effects in the heart via their common receptor, guanylyl cyclase (GC)-A, which catalyzes the synthesis of cGMP, leading to activation of protein kinase (PK)G. Still, much of the network of molecular mediators via which ANP/BNP-GC-A signaling inhibit cardiac hypertrophy remains to be characterized. OBJECTIVE We investigated the effect of ANP-GC-A signaling on transient receptor potential subfamily C (TRPC)6, a receptor-operated Ca(2+) channel known to positively regulate prohypertrophic calcineurin-nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) signaling. METHODS AND RESULTS In cardiac myocytes, ANP induced phosphorylation of TRPC6 at threonine 69, the PKG phosphorylation site, and significantly inhibited agonist-evoked NFAT activation and Ca(2+) influx, whereas in HEK293 cells, it dramatically inhibited agonist-evoked TRPC6 channel activity. These inhibitory effects of ANP were abolished in the presence of specific PKG inhibitors or by substituting an alanine for threonine 69 in TRPC6. In model mice lacking GC-A, the calcineurin-NFAT pathway is constitutively activated, and BTP2, a selective TRPC channel blocker, significantly attenuated the cardiac hypertrophy otherwise seen. Conversely, overexpression of TRPC6 in mice lacking GC-A exacerbated cardiac hypertrophy. BTP2 also significantly inhibited angiotensin II-induced cardiac hypertrophy in mice. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, these findings suggest that TRPC6 is a critical target of antihypertrophic effects elicited via the cardiac ANP/BNP-GC-A pathway and suggest TRPC6 blockade could be an effective therapeutic strategy for preventing pathological cardiac remodeling.

Abstract
Activation of Ca(2+) signaling in cardiomyocytes induced by receptor stimulation or mechanical stress has been implicated in the development of cardiac hypertrophy. However, it is still unclear how intracellular Ca(2+) targets specifically decode the alteration of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) on the background of the rhythmic Ca(2+) increases required for muscle contraction. In excitable cardiomyocytes, changes in the frequency or amplitude of Ca(2+) transients evoked by Ca(2+) influx-induced Ca(2+) release have been suggested to encode signals for induction of hypertrophy, and a partial depolarization of plasma membrane by receptor stimulation will increase the frequency of Ca(2+) oscillations. We found that activation of diacylglycerol (DAG)-responsive canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) subfamily channels (TRPC3 and TRPC6) mediate membrane depolarization induced by G(q) protein-coupled receptor stimulation. DAG-mediated membrane depolarization through activation of TRPC3/TRPC6 channels increases the frequency of Ca(2+) spikes, leading to activation of calcineurin-dependent signaling pathways. Inhibition of either TRPC3 or TRPC6 completely suppressed agonist-induced hypertrophic responses, suggesting that TRPC3 and TRPC6 form heterotetramer channels. Furthermore, we found that hypertrophic agonists increase the expression of TRPC6 proteins through activation of G(12) family proteins, leading to amplification of DAG-mediated hypertrophic signaling in cardiomyocytes. As heart failure proceeds through cardiac hypertrophy, TRPC3/TRPC6 channels may be a new therapeutic target for heart failure.

Abstract
Activation of Ca(2+) signaling induced by receptor stimulation and mechanical stress plays a critical role in the development of cardiac hypertrophy. A canonical transient receptor potential protein subfamily member, TRPC6, which is activated by diacylglycerol and mechanical stretch, works as an upstream regulator of the Ca(2+) signaling pathway. Although activation of protein kinase G (PKG) inhibits TRPC6 channel activity and cardiac hypertrophy, respectively, it is unclear whether PKG suppresses cardiac hypertrophy through inhibition of TRPC6. Here, we show that inhibition of cGMP-selective PDE5 (phosphodiesterase 5) suppresses endothelin-1-, diacylglycerol analog-, and mechanical stretch-induced hypertrophy through inhibition of Ca(2+) influx in rat neonatal cardiomyocytes. Inhibition of PDE5 suppressed the increase in frequency of Ca(2+) spikes induced by agonists or mechanical stretch. However, PDE5 inhibition did not suppress the hypertrophic responses induced by high KCl or the activation of protein kinase C, suggesting that PDE5 inhibition suppresses Ca(2+) influx itself or molecule(s) upstream of Ca(2+) influx. PKG activated by PDE5 inhibition phosphorylated TRPC6 proteins at Thr(69) and prevented TRPC6-mediated Ca(2+) influx. Substitution of Ala for Thr(69) in TRPC6 abolished the anti-hypertrophic effects of PDE5 inhibition. In addition, chronic PDE5 inhibition by oral sildenafil treatment actually induced TRPC6 phosphorylation in mouse hearts. Knockdown of RGS2 (regulator of G protein signaling 2) and RGS4, both of which are activated by PKG to reduce G alpha(q)-mediated signaling, did not affect the suppression of receptor-activated Ca(2+) influx by PDE5 inhibition. These results suggest that phosphorylation and functional suppression of TRPC6 underlie prevention of pathological hypertrophy by PDE5 inhibition.

Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy is an independent risk for heart failure (HF) and sudden death. Deciphering signalling pathways dependent on extracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) influx that control normal and pathological cardiac growth may enable identification of novel therapeutic targets. The objective of the present study is to determine the role of the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel Orai1 and stromal interaction molecule 1 (Stim1) in postnatal cardiomyocyte store operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) and impact on normal and hypertrophic postnatal cardiomyocyte growth. Employing a combination of siRNA-mediated gene silencing, cultured neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes together with indirect immunofluorescence, epifluorescent Ca(2+) imaging and site-specific protein phosphorylation and real-time mRNA expression analysis, we show for the first time that both Orai1 and Stim1 are present in cardiomyocytes and required for SOCE due to intracellular Ca(2+) store depletion by thapsigargin. Stim1-KD but not Orai1-KD significantly decreased diastolic Ca(2+) levels and caffeine-releasable Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Conversely, Orai1-KD but not Stim1-KD significantly diminished basal NRCM cell size, anp and bnp mRNA levels and activity of the calcineurin (CnA) signalling pathway although diminishing both Orai1 and Stim1 proteins similarly attenuated calmodulin kinase II (CamKII) and ERK1/2 activity under basal conditions. Both Orai1- and Stim1-KD completely abrogated phenylephrine (PE) mediated hypertrophic NRCM growth and enhanced natriuretic factor expression by inhibiting G(q)-protein conveyed activation of the CamKII and ERK1/2 signalling pathway. Interestingly, only Orai1-KD but not Stim1-KD prevented Gq-mediated CaN-dependent prohypertrophic signalling. This study shows for the first time that both Orai1 and Stim1 have a key role in cardiomyocyte SOCE regulating both normal and hypertrophic postnatal cardiac growth in vitro.
