Ye F, Liu D, Zhang J. Transient receptor potential channel TRPM4 favors oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced coronary endothelial cell dysfunction via a mechanism involving ferroptosis. Tissue Cell 2024; 86:102290. [PMID: 38103473 DOI: 10.1016/j.tice.2023.102290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
Accelerating the repair of damaged endothelium can effectively inhibit the progression of atherosclerosis (AS). Transient receptor potential channel TRPM4 is a non-selective cation channel activated by internal Ca2+, which is expressed in endothelial cells. This study aimed to reveal the potential role of TRPM4 in AS along with the mechanism. Human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) induced by ox-LDL was regarded as an in vitro model. The impacts of TRPM4 knockdown on cellular inflammation response, oxidative stress, normal endothelial function and lipid peroxidation were evaluated. Given that ferroptosis promotes AS progression, the effects of TRPM4 on intracellular iron ions and ferroptosis-related proteins was determined. Afterwards, HCAECs were treated with ferroptosis inducer erastin, and the influence of ferroptosis in the cellular model was revealed. TRPM4 was elevated in response to ox-LDL treatment in HCAECs. TRPM4 knockdown reduced the inflammation response, oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation caused by ox-LDL, and maintained the normal function of HCAECs. Erastin treatment destroyed the impacts of TRPM4 knockdown that are beneficial for cells to resist ox-LDL, showing the enhancement of the above adverse factors. Together, this study found that TRPM4 knockdown reduced ox-LDL-induced inflammation, oxidative stress, and dysfunction in HCAECs, possibly via a mechanism involving Fe2+ and ferroptosis-related proteins.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects persons of all ages and is recognized as a major cause of death and disability worldwide; it also brings heavy life burden to patients and their families. The treatment of those with secondary injury after TBI is still scarce, however. Alternative splicing (AS) is a crucial post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism associated with various physiological processes, while the contribution of AS in treatment after TBI is poorly illuminated. In this study, we performed and analyzed the transcriptome and proteome datasets of brain tissue at multiple time points in a controlled cortical impact (CCI) mouse model. We found that AS, as an independent change against the transcriptional level, is a novel mechanism linked to cerebral edema after TBI. Bioinformatics analysis further indicated that the transformation of splicing isoforms after TBI was related to cerebral edema. Accordingly, we found that the fourth exon of transient receptor potential channel melastatin 4 (Trpm4) abrogated skipping at 72 h after TBI, resulting in a frameshift of the encoded amino acid and an increase in the proportion of spliced isoforms. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we have shown the numbers of 3nEx isoforms of Trpm4 may be positively correlated with volume of cerebral edema. Thus alternative splicing of Trpm4 becomes a noteworthy mechanism of potential influence on edema. In summary, alternative splicing of Trpm4 may drive cerebral edema after TBI. Trpm4 is a potential therapeutic targeting cerebral edema in patients with TBI.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) channel is a non-selective cation channel that activates in response to increased intracellular Ca2+ levels but does not allow Ca2+ to pass through directly. It plays a crucial role in regulating diverse cellular functions associated with intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis/dynamics. TRPM4 is widely expressed in the heart and is involved in various physiological and pathological processes therein. Specifically, it has a significant impact on the electrical activity of cardiomyocytes by depolarizing the membrane, presumably via Na+ loading. The TRPM4 channel likely contributes to the development of cardiac arrhythmias associated with specific genetic backgrounds and cardiac remodeling. This short review aims to overview what is known so far about the TRPM4 channel in cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmogenesis, highlighting its potential as a novel therapeutic target to effectively prevent and treat cardiac arrhythmias.

Abstract
It is more effective to maintain good health than to regain it after losing it. This work focuses on the biochemical defense mechanisms against free radicals and their role in building and maintaining antioxidant shields, aiming to show how to balance, as much as possible, the situations in which we are exposed to free radicals. To achieve this aim, foods, fruits, and marine algae with a high antioxidant content should constitute the basis of nutritional elements, since natural products are known to have significantly greater assimilation efficiency. This review also gives the perspective in which the use of antioxidants can extend the life of food products, by protecting them from damage caused by oxidation as well as their use as food additives.

Abstract
TRPV4 is associated with the development of neuropathic pain, sensory defects, muscular dystrophies, neurodegenerative disorders, Charcot Marie Tooth and skeletal dysplasia. In all these cases, mitochondrial abnormalities are prominent. Here, we demonstrate that TRPV4, localizes to a subpopulation of mitochondria in various cell lines. Improper expression and/or function of TRPV4 induces several mitochondrial abnormalities. TRPV4 is also involved in the regulation of mitochondrial numbers, Ca2+-levels and mitochondrial temperature. Accordingly, several naturally occurring TRPV4 mutations affect mitochondrial morphology and distribution. These findings may help in understanding the significance of mitochondria in TRPV4-mediated channelopathies possibly classifying them as mitochondrial diseases.

TRPM4 Participates in Irradiation-Induced Aortic Valve Remodeling in Mice. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14184477.

Abstract
Simple Summary Despite its benefit in cancer treatment, thoracic irradiation can induce aortic valve stenosis with fibrosis and calcification. The TRPM4 cation channel is known to participate in cellular remodeling including the transition of cardiac fibroblasts to myofibroblasts, similar to that observed during aortic valve stenosis. This study evaluates if TRPM4 is involved in irradiation-induced aortic valve damage. The aortic valve of mice was targeted by irradiation. Cardiac echography 5 months after treatment revealed an increase in aortic jet velocity, indicating stenosis. This was not observed in non-treated animals. Histological analysis revealed an increase in valvular cusp surface associated with fibrosis which was not observed in non-treated animals. The experiments were reproduced on mice after Trpm4 gene disruption. In these animals, irradiation did not induce valvular remodeling. It indicates that TRPM4 influences irradiation-induced aortic valve damage and thus could be a target to prevent such side effects of irradiation. Abstract Thoracic radiotherapy can lead to cardiac remodeling including valvular stenosis due to fibrosis and calcification. The monovalent non-selective cation channel TRPM4 is known to be involved in calcium handling and to participate in fibroblast transition to myofibroblasts, a phenomenon observed during aortic valve stenosis. The goal of this study was to evaluate if TRPM4 is involved in irradiation-induced aortic valve damage. Four-month-old Trpm4+/+ and Trpm4−/− mice received 10 Gy irradiation at the aortic valve. Cardiac parameters were evaluated by echography until 5 months post-irradiation, then hearts were collected for morphological and histological assessments. At the onset of the protocol, Trpm4+/+ and Trpm4−/− mice exhibited similar maximal aortic valve jet velocity and mean pressure gradient. Five months after irradiation, Trpm4+/+ mice exhibited a significant increase in those parameters, compared to the untreated animals while no variation was detected in Trpm4−/− mice. Morphological analysis revealed that irradiated Trpm4+/+ mice exhibited a 53% significant increase in the aortic valve cusp surface while no significant variation was observed in Trpm4−/− animals. Collagen staining revealed aortic valve fibrosis in irradiated Trpm4+/+ mice but not in irradiated Trpm4−/− animals. It indicates that TRPM4 influences irradiation-induced valvular remodeling.

Abstract
Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is a common environmental pollutant, which has a strong toxic effect on humans and animals. However, the cardiac toxicity of Cr(VI) in broilers remains to be explored. The development of heart disease is often linked to mitochondrial dysfunction especially exposure to toxic substances. In order to investigate the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in apoptosis and autophagy of broiler cardiomyocytes induced by hexavalent chromium, broiler cardiomyocytes were cultured in potassium dichromate of 0 mM, 16 mM, and 32 mM medium for 24 h. The results showed that, compared with the control group, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis rate in the Cr(VI) treatment group increased in a dose-dependent manner, the mRNA levels of apoptosis-related genes Bax and p53 were significantly increased, and the mRNA level of Bcl-2 was significantly decreased. Compared with the control group, the mRNA level of autophagy-related genes (LC3-I, LC3-II, and Beclin1) in the Cr(VI) treatment group was significantly increased, the mRNA level of mTOR was significantly decreased, and the protein level of p62/SQSTM1 was significantly decreased. The protein level of Beclin1 and the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I significantly increased. In addition, compared with the control group, mitochondrial membrane potential decreased in a dose-dependent manner, and mitochondrial dynamics-related genes SIRT1, SIRT3, and Mfn2 mRNA decreased significantly in the Cr(VI) treatment group. In this study, we concluded that Cr(VI) could cause broiler myocardial apoptosis and autophagy by inducing mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) is a unique member of the TRPM protein family and, similarly to TRPM5, is Ca2+ sensitive and permeable for monovalent but not divalent cations. It is widely expressed in many organs and is involved in several functions; it regulates membrane potential and Ca2+ homeostasis in both excitable and non-excitable cells. This part of the review discusses the currently available knowledge about the physiological and pathophysiological roles of TRPM4 in various tissues. These include the physiological functions of TRPM4 in the cells of the Langerhans islets of the pancreas, in various immune functions, in the regulation of vascular tone, in respiratory and other neuronal activities, in chemosensation, and in renal and cardiac physiology. TRPM4 contributes to pathological conditions such as overactive bladder, endothelial dysfunction, various types of malignant diseases and central nervous system conditions including stroke and injuries as well as in cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, hypertrophy, and ischemia-reperfusion injuries. TRPM4 claims more and more attention and is likely to be the topic of research in the future.

Abstract
The method presented in this article are related to the research article entitled as “Role of the TRPM4 channel in mitochondrial function, calcium release, and ROS generation in oxidative stress" [1]. TRPM4, a non-selective monovalent cation channel, is not only involved in the generation of the action potential in cardiomyocytes, but also thought to be a key molecule in the development of the ischemia–reperfusion injury of the brain and the heart [2], [3], [4], [5]. However, existing pharmacological inhibitors for the TRPM4 channel have problems of non-specificity [6]. This article describes methods used for targeted genomic deletion in the rat cardiomyocyte H9c2 using the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system in order to suppress TRPM4 protein expression. Confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, Sanger sequencing, and western blotting are performed to confirm vector transfection and the subsequent knockout of the TRPM4 protein.These data provide information on the comprehensive analyses for knocking out the rat TRPM4 channel using CRISPR/Cas9. The analyses include confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, Sanger sequencing, and western blotting. This dataset will benefit biological and medical researchers studying the function of TRPM4-expressing cells including neurons, cardiomyocytes, and vascular endothelial cells. It is also useful to study the involvement of the TRPM4 channel in pathological processes such as cardiac arrhythmia and ischemia–reperfusion injury. The dataset can be used to guide the experiment of knocking out the TRPM4 gene and its subsequent application to the study of disease process caused by the gene.
