Li K, Li Y, Chen Y, Chen T, Yang Y, Li P. Ion Channels Remodeling in the Regulation of Vascular Hyporesponsiveness During Shock. Microcirculation 2024:e12874. [PMID: 39011763 DOI: 10.1111/micc.12874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
Shock is characterized with vascular hyporesponsiveness to vasoconstrictors, thereby to cause refractory hypotension, insufficient tissue perfusion, and multiple organ dysfunction. The vascular hyporeactivity persisted even though norepinephrine and fluid resuscitation were administrated, it is of critical importance to find new potential target. Ion channels are crucial in the regulation of cell membrane potential and affect vasoconstriction and vasodilation. It has been demonstrated that many types of ion channels including K+ channels, Ca2+ permeable channels, and Na+ channels exist in vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells, contributing to the regulation of vascular homeostasis and vasomotor function. An increasing number of studies suggested that the structural and functional alterations of ion channels located in arteries contribute to vascular hyporesponsiveness during shock, but the underlying mechanisms remained to be fully clarified. Therefore, the expression and functional changes in ion channels in arteries associated with shock are reviewed, to pave the way for further exploring the potential of ion channel-targeted compounds in treating refractory hypotension in shock.

Boda VK, Yasmen N, Jiang J, Li W. Pathophysiological significance and modulation of the transient receptor potential canonical 3 ion channel. Med Res Rev 2024. [PMID: 38715347 DOI: 10.1002/med.22048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
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
Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) has an important role in treatment of cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis. The vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are a major part of the atherosclerotic plaque. However, the biological functions of Tan IIA in regulating VSMCs function remain mostly unclear. This research aimed at identifying the explicit molecular mechanism that Tan IIA regulates oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-mediated VSMC proliferation and migration. VSMCs challenged by ox-LDL were adopted as cellular model of atherosclerosis, and suffered from Tan IIA treatment. After that, cells proliferation, apoptosis or migration were measured. The expression levels of microRNA (miR)-137, transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 3 (TRPC3) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were measured. The targeting relationship between miR-137 and TRPC3 was determined. It was found that Tan IIA blunted VSMC proliferation, PCNA expression and migration mediated by ox-LDL. Tan IIA promoted miR-137 level, and miR-137 knockdown reversed the influences of Tan IIA on VSMC proliferation, PCNA expression and migration in the presence of ox-LDL. TRPC3 was verified to be targeted by miR-137. Moreover, TRPC3 silencing exacerbated the influences of Tan IIA on VSMC proliferation, apoptosis and migration, and it mitigated the inhibitive effects of miR-137 knockdown on function of Tan IIA. We confirmed for the first time that Tan IIA constrained ox-LDL-stimulated VSMC proliferation and migration via regulating the miR-137/TRPC3 axis, which provided a theoretical basis for the research and promotion of Tan IIA as a therapeutic drug.

Abstract
The study of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels has dramatically increased during the past few years. TRP channels function as sensors and effectors in the cellular adaptation to environmental changes. Here, we review literature investigating the physiological and pathophysiological roles of TRPC channels in the renal tubular system with a focus on TRPC3 and TRPC6. TRPC3 plays a key role in Ca2+ homeostasis and is involved in transcellular Ca2+ reabsorption in the proximal tubule and the collecting duct. TRPC3 also conveys the osmosensitivity of principal cells of the collecting duct and is implicated in vasopressin-induced membrane translocation of AQP-2. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) can often be attributed to mutations of the PKD2 gene. TRPC3 is supposed to have a detrimental role in ADPKD-like conditions. The tubule-specific physiological functions of TRPC6 have not yet been entirely elucidated. Its pathophysiological role in ischemia-reperfusion injuries is a subject of debate. However, TRPC6 seems to be involved in tumorigenesis of renal cell carcinoma. In summary, TRPC channels are relevant in multiples conditions of the renal tubular system. There is a need to further elucidate their pathophysiology to better understand certain renal disorders and ultimately create new therapeutic targets to improve patient care.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk of macrovascular and microvascular complications, while cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of death in both men and women with diabetes. Large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BK) channels are abundantly expressed in arteries and are the key ionic determinant of vascular tone and organ perfusion. It is well established that the downregulation of vascular BK channel function with reduced BK channel protein expression and altered intrinsic BK channel biophysical properties is associated with diabetic vasculopathy. Recent efforts also showed that diabetes-associated changes in signaling pathways and transcriptional factors contribute to the downregulation of BK channel expression. This manuscript will review our current understandings on the molecular, physiological, and biophysical mechanisms that underlie coronary BK channelopathy in diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential (TRP) channel superfamily is comprised of a large group of cation-permeable channels, which display an extraordinary diversity of roles in sensory signaling and are involved in plethora of animal behaviors. These channels are activated through a wide variety of mechanisms and participate in virtually every sensory modality. Modulating TRP channel activity provides an important way to regulate membrane excitability and intracellular calcium levels. This is reflected by the fact that small molecule compounds modulating different TRPs have all entered clinical trials for a variety of diseases. The role of TRPs will be further elucidated in complex diseases of the nervous, intestinal, renal, urogenital, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems in diverse therapeutic areas including pain and itch, headache, pulmonary function, oncology, neurology, visceral organs, and genetic diseases. This review focuses on recent developments in the TRP ion channel-related area and highlights evidence supporting TRP channels as promising targets for new analgesic drugs for therapeutic intervention. This review presents a variety of: (1) phylogeny aspects of TRP channels; (2) some structural and functional characteristics of TRPs; (3) a general view and short characteristics of main seven subfamilies of TRP channels; (4) the evidence for consider TRP channels as therapeutic and analgesic targets; and finally (5) further perspectives of TRP channels research.

Abstract
The neurovascular unit is a physiological unit present in the brain, which is constituted by elements of the nervous system (neurons and astrocytes) and the vascular system (endothelial and mural cells). This unit is responsible for the homeostasis and regulation of cerebral blood flow. There are two major types of mural cells in the brain, pericytes and smooth muscle cells. At the arterial level, smooth muscle cells are the main components that wrap around the outside of cerebral blood vessels and the major contributors to basal tone maintenance, blood pressure and blood flow distribution. They present several mechanisms by which they regulate both vasodilation and vasoconstriction of cerebral blood vessels and their regulation becomes even more important in situations of injury or pathology. In this review, we discuss the main regulatory mechanisms of brain smooth muscle cells and their contributions to the correct brain homeostasis.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels constitute a group of receptor-operated calcium-permeable nonselective cation channels of the TRP superfamily. The seven mammalian TRPC members, which can be further divided into four subgroups (TRPC1, TRPC2, TRPC4/5, and TRPC3/6/7) based on their amino acid sequences and functional similarities, contribute to a broad spectrum of cellular functions and physiological roles. Studies have revealed complexity of their regulation involving several components of the phospholipase C pathway, Gi and Go proteins, and internal Ca2+ stores. Recent advances in cryogenic electron microscopy have provided several high-resolution structures of TRPC channels. Growing evidence demonstrates the involvement of TRPC channels in diseases, particularly the link between genetic mutations of TRPC6 and familial focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Because TRPCs were discovered by the molecular identity first, their pharmacology had lagged behind. This is rapidly changing in recent years owning to great efforts from both academia and industry. A number of potent tool compounds from both synthetic and natural products that selective target different subtypes of TRPC channels have been discovered, including some preclinical drug candidates. This review will cover recent advancements in the understanding of TRPC channel regulation, structure, and discovery of novel TRPC small molecular probes over the past few years, with the goal of facilitating drug discovery for the study of TRPCs and therapeutic development.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease and is an important health issue worldwide. Long-term diabetes causes endothelial dysfunction, which in turn leads to diabetic vascular complications. Endothelium-derived nitric oxide is a major vasodilator in large-size vessels, and the hyperpolarization of vascular smooth muscle cells mediated by the endothelium plays a central role in agonist-mediated and flow-mediated vasodilation in resistance-size vessels. Although the mechanisms underlying diabetic vascular complications are multifactorial and complex, impairment of endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization (EDH) of vascular smooth muscle cells would contribute at least partly to the initiation and progression of microvascular complications of diabetes. In this review, we present the current knowledge about the pathophysiology and underlying mechanisms of impaired EDH in diabetes in animals and humans. We also discuss potential therapeutic approaches aimed at the prevention and restoration of EDH in diabetes.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential ion-channel superfamily consists of nonselective cation channels located mostly on the plasma membranes of numerous animal cell types, which are closely related to sensory information transmission (e.g., vision, pain, and temperature perception), as well as regulation of intracellular Ca2+ balance and physiological activities of growth and development. Transient receptor potential ion channel subfamily V (TRPV) is one of the largest and most diverse subfamilies, including TRPV1-TRPV6 involved in the regulation of a variety of cellular functions. TRPV4 can be activated by various physical and chemical stimuli, such as heat, mechanical force, and phorbol ester derivatives participating in the maintenance of normal cellular functions. In recent years, the roles of TRPV4 in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and migration have been extensively studied. Its abnormal expression has also been closely related to the onset and progression of multiple tumors, so TRPV4 may be a target for cancer diagnosis and treatment. In this review, we focused on the latest studies concerning the role of TRPV4 in tumorigenesis and the therapeutic potential. As evidenced by the effects on cancerogenesis, TRPV4 is a potential target for anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels are highly homologous, nonselective cation channels that form many homo- and heterotetrameric channels. These channels are highly abundant in the brain and kidney and have been implicated in numerous diseases, such as depression, addiction, and chronic kidney disease, among others. Historically, there have been very few selective modulators of the TRPC family in order to fully understand their role in disease despite their physiological significance. However, that has changed recently and there has been a significant increase in interest in this family of channels which has led to the emergence of selective tool compounds, and even preclinical drug candidates, over the past few years. This review will cover these new advancements in the discovery of TRPC modulators and the emergence of newly reported structural information which will undoubtedly lead to even greater advancements.

Abstract
Localized, oscillating Ca2+ signals have been identified in discrete microdomains of vascular endothelial cells. At myoendothelial contacts (between endothelial and smooth muscle cells), both endothelial Ca2+ pulsars (IP3-mediated release of intracellular Ca2+) and Ca2+ sparklets (extracellular Ca2+ entry via TRP channels) contribute to endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization of smooth muscle, vasodilation, and feedback control of vasoconstriction. Ca2+ sparklets occurring at close-contact domains between endothelial cells are possibly involved in conducted hyperpolarization and spreading vasodilation in arterial networks. This review summarizes these Ca2+ signalling phenomena, examines the proposed mechanisms leading to their generation by G-protein-coupled receptor agonists, and explores the proposed physiological roles of these localized and specialized Ca2+ signals.

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
This study aimed to validate whether transient receptor potential channel1 (TRPC1) and TRPC3 participate in the regulation the proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) through modulating calcium ion (Ca2+ ) influx in vitro. Chronic model of murine asthma was induced and ASMCs isolated from asthmatic mice were used in this whole study. TRPC1 and TRPC3 were upregulated in asthmatic mouse ASMCs and selected for further investigation. Ca2+ concentration and the cell viability of asthmatic mouse ASMCs were significantly higher than that from non- asthma mice, however, TRPC channels blocker SKF96365 alleviated these effects. Furthermore, TRPC1 or TRPC3 overexpression markedly increased Ca2+ concentration and significantly induced the viability of ASMCs; whereas TRPC1 or TRPC3 knockdown exerted the completely conversed effects. Moreover, knockdown of TRPC1 and TRPC3 also exerted different effects on the protein expression of growth-related proteins p-p38, p-JNK, cleaved caspase-3 and Bcl-2, as well as on cell cycle. Finally, we found Ca2+ chelator EGTA or BAPTA-AM significantly diminished the effects of si-TRPC1 and si-TRPC3 on the cell viability, cell cycle, and the protein expression of p-p38, p-JNK, cleaved caspase-3, and Bcl-2 in asthmatic mouse ASMCs. Our findings demonstrated that the effects of TRPC1 and TRPC3 on the cell viability and cell cycle of ASMCs were, at least partially, through regulating Ca2+ influx.
