Abstract
Administration of bolus intravenous fluids, common in pre-hospital and hospitalised patients, is associated with increased lung vascular permeability and mortality outside underlying disease states. In our laboratory, the induction of lung injury and oedema through rapid administration of intravenous fluid in rats was reduced by a non-specific antagonist of transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channels. The aims of this study were to determine the effect of selective TRPV4 inhibition on fluid-induced lung injury (FILI) and compare the potency of FILI inhibition to that of an established model of TRPV4 agonist-induced lung oedema. In a series of experiments, rats received specific TRPV4 inhibitor (GSK2789917) at high (15 μg/kg), medium (5 μg/kg) or low (2 μg/kg) dose or vehicle prior to induction of lung injury by intravenous infusion of TRPV4 agonist (GSK1016790) or saline. GSK1016790 significantly increased lung wet weight/body weight ratio by 96% and lung wet-to-dry weight ratio by 43% in vehicle pre-treated rats, which was inhibited by GSK2789917 in a dose-dependent manner (IC50 = 3 ng/mL). Similarly, in a single-dose study, bolus saline infusion significantly increased lung wet weight/body weight by 17% and lung wet-to-dry weight ratio by 15%, which was attenuated by high dose GSK2789917. However, in a final GSK2789917 dose-response study, inhibition did not reach significance and an inhibitory potency was not determined due to the lack of a clear dose-response. In the FILI model, TRPV4 may have a role in lung injury induced by rapid-fluid infusion, indicated by inconsistent amelioration with high dose TRPV4 antagonist.

Abstract
Mechanosensitive channels (MS channels) are membrane proteins capable of responding to mechanical stress over a wide dynamic range of external mechanical stimuli. In recent years, it has been found that MS channels play an important role as "sentinels" in the process of cell sensing and response to extracellular and intracellular force signals. There is growing appreciation for mechanical activation of ion channels and their subsequent initiation of downstream signaling pathways. Members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily and Piezo channels are broadly expressed in human tissues and contribute to multiple cellular functions. Both TRP and Piezo channels are thought to play key roles in physiological homeostasis and pathophysiology of disease states including in the lung. Here, we review the current state of knowledge on the expression, regulation, and function of TRP and Piezo channels in the context of the adult lung across the age spectrum, and in lung diseases such as asthma, COPD and pulmonary fibrosis where mechanical forces likely play varied roles in the structural and functional changes characteristic of these diseases. Understanding of TRP and Piezo in the lung can provide insights into new targets for treatment of pulmonary disease.

Fluid management strategies and their interaction with mechanical ventilation: from experimental studies to clinical practice. Intensive Care Med Exp 2023; 11:44.

Abstract
Patients on mechanical ventilation may receive intravenous fluids via restrictive or liberal fluid management. A clear and objective differentiation between restrictive and liberal fluid management strategies is lacking in the literature. The liberal approach has been described as involving fluid rates ranging from 1.2 to 12 times higher than the restrictive approach. A restrictive fluid management may lead to hypoperfusion and distal organ damage, and a liberal fluid strategy may result in endothelial shear stress and glycocalyx damage, cardiovascular complications, lung edema, and distal organ dysfunction. The association between fluid and mechanical ventilation strategies and how they interact toward ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) could potentiate the damage. For instance, the combination of a liberal fluids and pressure-support ventilation, but not pressure control ventilation, may lead to further lung damage in experimental models of acute lung injury. Moreover, under liberal fluid management, the application of high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) or an abrupt decrease in PEEP yielded higher endothelial cell damage in the lungs. Nevertheless, the translational aspects of these findings are scarce. The aim of this narrative review is to provide better understanding of the interaction between different fluid and ventilation strategies and how these interactions may affect lung and distal organs. The weaning phase of mechanical ventilation and the deresuscitation phase are not explored in this review.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) ion channel is present in different tissues including those of the airways. This channel is activated in response to stimuli such as changes in temperature, hypoosmotic conditions, mechanical stress, and chemicals from plants, lipids, and others. TRPV4's overactivity and/or dysfunction has been associated with several diseases, such as skeletal dysplasias, neuromuscular disorders, and lung pathologies such as asthma and cardiogenic lung edema and COVID-19-related respiratory malfunction. TRPV4 antagonists and blockers have been described; nonetheless, the mechanisms involved in achieving inhibition of the channel remain scarce, and the search for safe use of these molecules in humans continues. Here, we show that the widely used bronchodilator salbutamol and other ligands of β-adrenergic receptors inhibit TRPV4's activation. We also demonstrate that inhibition of TRPV4 by salbutamol is achieved through interaction with two residues located in the outer region of the pore and that salbutamol leads to channel closing, consistent with an allosteric mechanism. Our study provides molecular insights into the mechanisms that regulate the activity of this physiopathologically important ion channel.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies suggested that hypernatremia or hyperosmolarity may have protective effects in lung injury. We hypothesized that hypernatremia and/or hyperosmolarity would prevent ARDS. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study of all admissions at medical, surgical, and multidisciplinary intensive care units in Mayo Clinic, Rochester from the year of 2009 to 2019. The occurrence of ARDS was identified using a validated computerized search strategy. The association between serum sodium/osmolarity and the occurrence of ARDS was analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. The relationship between serum sodium/osmolarity and outcomes of ARDS was analyzed using linear and logistic regression models. RESULTS Among 50,498 patients, the serum sodium level on admission did not have a significant association with the occurrence of ARDS, with an adjusted odds ratio of 0.95 [95% CI (0.86, 1.05)]. There was no significant association between calculated serum osmolarity and the occurrence of ARDS, with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.03 [95% CI (1.00, 1.07)]. 1560 patients developed ARDS during the ICU stay. Their serum sodium level and osmolarity level did not have a significant association with their outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Admission serum sodium or serum osmolarity were not associated with the occurrence or outcomes of ARDS in ICU.

Abstract
The increased permeability of the lung microvascular endothelium is one critical initiation of acute lung injury (ALI). The disruption of vascular-endothelium integrity results in leakiness of the endothelial barrier and accumulation of protein-rich fluid in the alveoli. During ALI, increased endothelial-cell (EC) permeability is always companied by high frequency and amplitude of cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations. Mechanistically, cytosolic calcium oscillations include calcium release from internal stores and calcium entry via channels located in the cell membrane. Recently, numerous publications have shown substantial evidence that calcium-permeable channels play an important role in maintaining the integrity of the endothelium barrier function of the vessel wall in ALI. These novel endothelial signaling pathways are future targets for the treatment of lung injury. This short review focuses on the up-to-date research and provide insight into the contribution of calcium influx via ion channels to the disruption of lung microvascular endothelial-barrier function during ALI.

Abstract
Acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) is a devastating respiratory disorder with high rates of mortality and morbidity, but the detailed underlying mechanisms of ALI/ARDS remain largely unknown. Mechanosensitive ion channels (MSCs), including epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), Piezo channels, transient receptor potential channels (TRPs), and two-pore domain potassium ion (K2P) channels, are highly expressed in lung tissues, and the activity of these MSCs can be modulated by mechanical forces (e.g., mechanical ventilation) and other stimuli (e.g., LPS, hyperoxia). Dysfunction of MSCs has been found in various types of ALI/ARDS, and MSCs play a key role in regulating alveolar fluid clearance, alveolar epithelial/endothelial barrier function, the inflammatory response and surfactant secretion in ALI/ARDS lungs. Targeting MSCs exerts therapeutic effects in the treatment of ALI/ARDS. In this review, we summarize the structure and functions of several well-recognized MSCs, the role of MSCs in the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS and recent advances in the pharmacological and molecular modulation of MSCs in the treatment of ALI/ARDS. According to the current literature, targeting MSCs might be a very promising therapeutic approach against ALI/ARDS.

Abstract
The alveolo-capillary barrier is relatively impermeable, and facilitates gas exchange via the large alveolar surface in the lung. Disruption of alveolo-capillary barrier leads to accumulation of edema fluid in lung injury. Studies in animal models of various forms of lung injury provide evidence that TRPV4 channels play a critical role in disruption of the alveolo-capillary barrier and pathogenesis of lung injury. TRPV4 channels from capillary endothelial cells, alveolar epithelial cells, and immune cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of lung injury. Recent studies in endothelium-specific TRPV4 knockout mice point to a central role for endothelial TRPV4 channels in lung injury. In this chapter, we review the findings on the pathological roles of endothelial TRPV4 channels in different forms of lung injury and future directions for further investigation.

Abstract
Background Glaucoma, the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, is a type of retinal disease characterized by the selective death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). However, the pathogenesis of glaucoma has not been fully elucidated. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is a pressure-sensitive and calcium-permeable cation channel. TRPV4 is widely distributed in the retina and its sustained activation leads to RGC death; indicating that TRPV4 may be a possible target for glaucoma treatment. Here, we investigated the effects of TRPV4 on RGC apoptosis in a rat model of chronic ocular hypertension (COH), then examined the mechanism underlying these effects. Methods The COH model was established by injection of micro-magnetic beads into the anterior chamber of adult male rats. The expression levels of TRPV4, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and inflammatory factors were assessed by immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. RGC apoptosis and visual dysfunction were evaluated by TUNEL assay and photopic negative response. Functional expression of TRPV4 was examined by electrophysiology and calcium imaging. Real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting were employed to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the effects of TRPV4 on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) release. Results We found that TRPV4 played an essential role in glaucoma, such that high levels of TRPV4 expression were associated with elevated intraocular pressure. Furthermore, TRPV4 activation was involved in glaucoma-induced RGC apoptosis and RGC-related reductions in visual function. Mechanistic investigation demonstrated that TRPV4 activation led to enhanced Müller cell gliosis and TNF-α release via the JAK2/STAT3/NF-kB pathway, while TRPV4 inhibition could reverse these effects. Finally, TRPV4 activation could lead to elevated expression of TNF receptor 1 in RGCs, while inhibition of TNF-α could reduce TRPV4-mediated RGC apoptosis. Conclusions TRPV4 activation induces Müller cell gliosis and TNF-α elevation via the JAK2/STAT3/NF-κB pathway, which may exacerbate RGC apoptosis in glaucoma; these results suggest that TRPV4 can serve as a therapeutic target in glaucoma treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bolus intravenous administration of 0.9% saline has been associated with the development of pulmonary edema, and increased mortality. An animal model has previously demonstrated that rapid intravenous administration of 0.9% saline was associated with non-hydrostatic lung injury with increased lung lavage protein. We hypothesized that this non-hydrostatic effect would also occur in human volunteers. METHODS In a randomized, cross-over study of 14 healthy male subjects, the lung lavage protein concentration and cardiorespiratory effects of an intervention with rapid intravenous administration of 30 mL/kg of 0.9% saline were compared with sham intervention. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed after fluid administration. Doppler echocardiography, lung ultrasound, pulmonary function tests, and blood sampling were performed before and after each intervention. RESULTS The BAL total protein concentration was greater after 0.9% saline administration than with sham (196.1 µg/mL (SD 87.6) versus 129.8 µg/mL (SD 55.4), respectively (p = 0.020). Plasma angiopoietin-2 concentration was also increased to 2.26 ng/mL (SD 0.87) after 0.9% saline administration compared with sham 1.53 ng/mL (SD 0.69) (p < 0.001). There were small increases in stroke volume (from 58 mL (IQR 51-74) to 66 mL (IQR 58-74), p = 0.045) and Doppler echocardiography left ventricle E/e' ratio (from 5.0 (IQR 4.5-6.0) to 5.7 (IQR 5.3-6.3), p = 0.007), but no changes to right ventricular function. CONCLUSION Rapid intravenous administration of 0.9% saline leads to interstitial permeability pulmonary edema in healthy human volunteers. Further research is now warranted to understand these effects in critically ill patients.

Endothelial Transient Receptor Potential V4 Channels Mediate Lung Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury. Ann Thorac Surg 2021; 113:1256-1264. [PMID: 33961815 DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.04.052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2021] [Revised: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), involving severe inflammation and edema, is a major cause of primary graft dysfunction following transplant. Activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channels modulates vascular permeability. Thus, this study tests the hypothesis that endothelial TRPV4 channels mediate lung IRI. METHODS C57BL/6 wild-type (WT), TRPV4-/-, tamoxifen-inducible endothelial TRPV4 knockout (TRPV4EC-/-), and tamoxifen-treated control (TRPV4fl/fl) mice underwent lung IR using a left lung hilar-ligation model (n≥6 mice/group). WT mice were also treated with a TRPV4-specific inhibitor (GSK2193874; 1mg/kg) (WT+GSK219). Partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), edema (wet-to-dry weight ratio), compliance, neutrophil infiltration, and cytokine concentrations in bronchioalveolar lavage fluid were assessed. Pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs) were characterized in vitro following exposure to hypoxia-reoxygenation. RESULTS Compared to WT, PaO2 following IR was significantly improved in TRPV4-/- mice (133.1±43.9 vs 427.8±83.1 mmHg, p<0.001) and WT+GSK219 mice (133.1±43.9 vs 447.0±67.6 mmHg, p<0.001). Pulmonary edema and neutrophil infiltration were also significantly reduced after IR in TRPV4-/- and WT+GSK219 mice versus WT. TRPV4EC-/- mice following IR demonstrated significantly improved oxygenation versus control (109.2±21.6 vs 405.3±41.4 mmHg, p<0.001) as well as significantly improved compliance, and significantly less edema, neutrophil infiltration and proinflammatory cytokine production (TNF-α, CXCL1, IL-17, IFN-γ). Hypoxia-reoxygenation-induced permeability and CXCL1 expression by PMVECs was significantly attenuated by TRPV4 inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS Endothelial TRPV4 plays a key role in vascular permeability and lung inflammation following IR. TRPV4 channels may be a promising therapeutic target to mitigate lung IRI and decrease the incidence of primary graft dysfunction following transplant. (Word Count: 249/250).

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channels are widely expressed in systemic tissues and can be activated by many stimuli. TRPV4, a Ca2+-permeable cation channel, plays an important role in the vasculature and is implicated in the regulation of cardiovascular homeostasis processes such as blood pressure, vascular remodeling, and pulmonary hypertension and edema. Within the vasculature, TRPV4 channels are expressed in smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, and perivascular nerves. The activation of endothelial TRPV4 contributes to vasodilation involving nitric oxide, prostacyclin, and endothelial-derived hyperpolarizing factor pathways. TRPV4 activation also can directly cause vascular smooth muscle cell hyperpolarization and vasodilation. In addition, TRPV4 activation can evoke constriction in some specific vascular beds or under some pathological conditions. TRPV4 participates in the control of vascular permeability and vascular damage, particularly in the lung capillary endothelial barrier and lung injury. It also participates in vascular remodeling regulation mainly by controlling vasculogenesis and arteriogenesis. This review examines the role of TRPV4 in vascular function, particularly in vascular dilation and constriction, vascular permeability, vascular remodeling, and vascular damage, along with possible mechanisms, and discusses the possibility of targeting TRPV4 for therapy.

Abstract
The Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) of endothelial cells contributes to many important functions including the regulation of Ca2+ homeostasis, cell volume, endothelial barrier permeability, and smooth muscle tone. However, its role in the transition of endothelial cells toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype has not been studied so far. Using both arterial and venous endothelial cells, we first show that the pharmacological activation of TRPV4 channels with GSK1016790A, a potent TRPV4 agonist, triggers robust and sustained Ca2+ increases, which are blocked by both TRPV4 antagonists HC067047 and RN9893. TRPV4 activation also triggers the actin cytoskeleton and adherens junction (VE-Cadherin) rearrangement in both arterial and venous endothelial cells and leads to rapid decreases of trans-endothelial electrical resistance. In addition to its effect on endothelial barrier integrity, TRPV4 activation selectively increases ICAM-1 surface expression in arterial and venous endothelial cells, due to the stimulation of ICAM-1 gene expression through the NF-κB transcription factor. TRPV4 channel activation also induced apoptosis of venous and arterial endothelial cells, while TRPV4 blockade reduced apoptosis, even in the absence of TRPV4 activation. As altered barrier integrity, increased adhesion molecule expression and apoptosis are hallmarks of the pro-inflammatory state of endothelial cells, our results indicate that TRPV4 channel activity can induce the transition of both venous and arterial endothelial cells toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Liberal fluid strategies in critically ill patients are associated with harm, thought to be due to endothelial and glycocalyx injury. As the restrictive versus liberal fluid therapy for major abdominal surgery trial not only failed to report survival benefit with restrictive fluids but was associated with a higher rate of acute kidney injury, we hypothesized that factors other than endothelial and glycocalyx injury were likely to account for these findings. Consequently, we measured injury biomarkers in a cohort of the restrictive versus liberal fluid therapy for major abdominal surgery trial.

Abstract
Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels are a family of ion channels whose members are distributed among all kinds of animals, from invertebrates to vertebrates. The importance of these molecules is exemplified by the variety of physiological roles they play. Perhaps, the most extensively studied member of this family is the TRPV1 ion channel; nonetheless, the activity of TRPV4 has been associated to several physio and pathophysiological processes, and its dysfunction can lead to severe consequences. Several lines of evidence derived from animal models and even clinical trials in humans highlight TRPV4 as a therapeutic target and as a protein that will receive even more attention in the near future, as will be reviewed here.

Abstract
Recently, buffered salt solutions and 20% albumin (small volume resuscitation) have been advocated as an alternative fluid for intravenous resuscitation. The relative comparative efficacy and potential adverse effects of these solutions have not been evaluated. In a randomized, double blind, cross-over study of six healthy male subjects we compared the pulmonary and hemodynamic effects of intravenous administration of 30 ml/kg of 0.9% saline, Hartmann's solution and 4% albumin, and 6 ml/kg of 20% albumin (albumin dose equivalent). Lung tests (spirometry, ultrasound, impulse oscillometry, diffusion capacity, and plethysmography), two- to three-dimensional Doppler echocardiography, carotid applanation tonometry, blood gases, serum/urine markers of endothelial, and kidney injury were measured before and after each fluid bolus. Data were analyzed with repeated measures ANOVA with effect of fluid type examined as an interaction. Crystalloids caused lung edema [increase in ultrasound B line ( P = 0.006) and airway resistance ( P = 0.009)], but evidence of lung injury [increased angiopoietin-2 ( P = 0.019)] and glycocalyx injury [increased syndecan ( P = 0.026)] was only observed with 0.9% saline. The colloids caused greater left atrial stretch, decrease in lung volumes, and increase in diffusion capacity than the crystalloids, but without pulmonary edema. Stroke work increased proportionally to increase in preload with all four fluids ( R2 = 0.71). There was a greater increase in cardiac output and stroke volume after colloid administration, associated with a reduction in afterload. Hartmann’s solution did not significantly alter ventricular performance. Markers of kidney injury were not affected by any of the fluids administrated. Bolus administration of 20% albumin is both effective and safe in healthy subjects. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Bolus administration of 20% albumin is both effective and safe in healthy subjects when compared with other commonly available crystalloids and colloidal solution.

Clin Sci (Lond) 2019; 133:CS20180815.

Abstract
Renal vasoconstriction, an early manifestation of ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI), results in renal hypoperfusion and a rapid decline in kidney function. The pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie ischemia-reperfusion (IR)-induced renal insufficiency are poorly understood, but possibilities include alterations in ion channel-dependent renal vasoregulation. In the present study, we show that pharmacological activation of TRPV4 channels constricted preglomerular microvessels and elicited renal hypoperfusion in neonatal pigs. Bilateral renal ischemia followed by short-term reperfusion increased TRPV4 protein expression in resistance size renal vessels and TRPV4-dependent cation currents in renal vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Selective TRPV4 channel blockers attenuated IR-induced reduction in total renal blood flow (RBF), cortical perfusion, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). TRPV4 inhibition also diminished renal IR-induced increase in AKI biomarkers. Furthermore, the level of angiotensin II (Ang II) was higher in the urine of IR- compared with sham-operated neonatal pigs. IR did not alter renal vascular expression of Ang II type 1 (AT1) receptors. However, losartan, a selective AT1 receptor antagonist, ameliorated IR-induced renal insufficiency in the pigs. Blockade of TRPV4 channels attenuated Ang II-evoked receptor-operated Ca2+ entry and constriction in preglomerular microvessels. TRPV4 inhibition also blunted Ang II-induced increase in renal vascular resistance (RVR) and hypoperfusion in the pigs. Together, our data suggest that SMC TRPV4-mediated renal vasoconstriction and the ensuing increase in RVR contribute to early hypoperfusion and renal insufficiency elicited by renal IR in neonatal pigs. We propose that multimodal signaling by renal vascular SMC TRPV4 channels controls neonatal renal microcirculation in health and disease.

Abstract
A dysregulated cellular Ca2+ homeostasis is involved in multiple pathologies including cancer. Changes in Ca2+ signaling caused by altered fluxes through ion channels and transporters (the transportome) are involved in all steps of the metastatic cascade. Cancer cells thereby "re-program" and "misuse" the cellular transportome to regulate proliferation, apoptosis, metabolism, growth factor signaling, migration and invasion. Cancer cells use their transportome to cope with diverse environmental challenges during the metastatic cascade, like hypoxic, acidic and mechanical cues. Hence, ion channels and transporters are key modulators of cancer progression. This review focuses on the role of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in the metastatic cascade. After briefly introducing the role of the transportome in cancer, we discuss TRP channel functions in cancer cell migration. We highlight the role of TRP channels in sensing and transmitting cues from the tumor microenvironment and discuss their role in cancer cell invasion. We identify open questions concerning the role of TRP channels in circulating tumor cells and in the processes of intra- and extravasation of tumor cells. We emphasize the importance of TRP channels in different steps of cancer metastasis and propose cancer-specific TRP channel blockade as a therapeutic option in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Background Ca2+ entry plays an important role in modulating endothelial cell migration and tube formation. Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 4 (TRPV4) is a Ca2+-permeable channel that is widely expressed in endothelial cells. It has been reported that TRPV4 is expressed in HRCECs and regulates Ca2+ entry. However, the function of TRPV4 in human retinal capillary endothelial cells (HRCECs) remains unknown. Methods In this study we used western blot and immunostaining assay to verify TRPV4 expression in HRCECs. And then we pretreated HRCECs with HC067047 and transfected with specific shRNA of TRPV4. The functional presence of TrpV4 was determined by using fluorescence, migration and tube formation assay in TrpV4 knockdown cells or control cells. Results Using western blot and immunostaining, we confirmed TRPV4 expression in HRCECs. Moreover, inhibition of TRPV4 using the specific inhibitor HC067047 and the knockdown of TRPV4 with shRNA significantly suppressed tube formation and migration by HRCECs. Conclusions TRPV4 is essential for HRCEC migration and tube formation, and maybe a potential therapeutic target for retinal vascular diseases.
