Abstract
Psychiatric disorders such as Bipolar disorder, Anxiety, Major depressive disorder, Schizophrenia, Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, as well as neurological disorders such as Migraine, are linked by the evidence of altered calcium homeostasis. The disturbance of intra-cellular calcium homeostasis disrupts the activity of numerous ion channels including transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. TRP channel families comprise non-selective calcium-permeable channels that have been implicated in variety of physiological processes in the brain, as well as in the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders. Through a comprehensive review of current research and experimentation, this investigation elucidates the role of TRP channels in psychiatric disorders. Furthermore, this review discusses about the exploration of epigenetics and TRP channels in psychiatric disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mechanosensitive channels (MSCs) and primary cilium possess a possible relevance for the sensation of intraocular pressure (IOP). However, there is only limited data on their expression and localization in the ciliary body epithelium (CBE). The purpose of this study was to characterize the expression and localization of TRPP2 in a human non-pigmented ciliary epithelial cell (HNPCE) line. METHODS The expression of the TRPP2 was studied by quantitative (q)RT-PCR and in situ hybridization in rat and human tissue. Protein expression and distribution were studied by western blot analysis, immunohistochemistry, and immunoelectron microscopy. Cellular location of TRPP2 was determined in rat and human CBE by immunofluorescence and immunoblot analysis. Electron microscopy studies were conducted to evaluate where and with substructure TRPP2 is localized in the HNPCE cell line. RESULTS The expression of TRPP2 in rat and human non-pigmented ciliary epithelium was detected. TRPP2 was mainly located in nuclei, but also showed a punctate distribution pattern in the cytoplasm of HNPCE of the tissue and the cell line. In HNPCE cell culture, primary cilia did exhibit different length following serum starvation and hydrostatic pressure. TRPP2 was found to be colocalized with these cilia in HNPCE cells. CONCLUSION The expression of TRPP2 and the primary cilium in the CB may indicate a possible role, such as the sensing of hydrostatic pressure, for the regulation of IOP. Functional studies via patch clamp or pharmacological intervention have yet to clarify the relevance for the physiological situation or aqueous humor regulation.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide and are not typically diagnosed until the disease has manifested. Endothelial dysfunction is an early, reversible precursor in the irreversible development of cardiovascular diseases and is characterized by a decrease in nitric oxide production. We believe that more reliable and reproducible methods are necessary for the detection of endothelial dysfunction. Both nitric oxide and calcium play important roles in the endothelial function. Here we review different types of molecular sensors used in biological settings. Next, we review the current nitric oxide and calcium sensors available. Finally, we review methods for using both sensors for the detection of endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
Calcium is a highly positively charged ionic species. It regulates all cell types' functions and is an important second messenger that controls and triggers several mechanisms, including membrane stabilization, permeability, contraction, secretion, mitosis, intercellular communications, and in the activation of kinases and gene expression. Therefore, controlling calcium transport and its intracellular homeostasis in physiology leads to the healthy functioning of the biological system. However, abnormal extracellular and intracellular calcium homeostasis leads to cardiovascular, skeletal, immune, secretory diseases, and cancer. Therefore, the pharmacological control of calcium influx directly via calcium channels and exchangers and its outflow via calcium pumps and uptake by the ER/SR are crucial in treating calcium transport remodeling in pathology. Here, we mainly focused on selective calcium transporters and blockers in the cardiovascular system.

Identification of common signature genes and pathways underlying the pathogenesis association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and atherosclerosis. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1142296. [PMID: 37063958 PMCID: PMC10098172 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1142296] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BackgroundAtherosclerosis (AS) is one of the leading causes of the cardio-cerebral vascular incident. The constantly emerging evidence indicates a close association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and AS. However, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying the correlation between these two diseases remain unclear. This study proposed exploring the common signature genes, pathways, and immune cells among AS and NAFLD.MethodsThe common differentially expressed genes (co-DEGs) with a consistent trend were identified via bioinformatic analyses of the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets GSE28829 and GSE49541, respectively. Further, the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed. We utilized machine learning algorithms of lasso and random forest (RF) to identify the common signature genes. Then the diagnostic nomogram models and receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) analyses were constructed and validated with external verification datasets. The gene interaction network was established via the GeneMANIA database. Additionally, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), gene set variation analysis (GSVA), and immune infiltration analysis were performed to explore the co-regulated pathways and immune cells.ResultsA total of 11 co-DEGs were identified. GO and KEGG analyses revealed that co-DEGs were mainly enriched in lipid catabolic process, calcium ion transport, and regulation of cytokine. Moreover, three common signature genes (PLCXD3, CCL19, and PKD2) were defined. Based on these genes, we constructed the efficiently predictable diagnostic models for advanced AS and NAFLD with the nomograms, evaluated with the ROC curves (AUC = 0.995 for advanced AS, 95% CI 0.971–1.0; AUC = 0.973 for advanced NAFLD, 95% CI 0.938–0.998). In addition, the AUC of the verification datasets had a similar trend. The NOD-like receptors (NLRs) signaling pathway might be the most crucial co-regulated pathway, and activated CD4 T cells and central memory CD4 T cells were significantly excessive infiltration in advanced NAFLD and AS.ConclusionWe identified three common signature genes (PLCXD3, CCL19, and PKD2), co-regulated pathways, and shared immune features of NAFLD and AS, which might provide novel insights into the molecular mechanism of NAFLD complicated with AS.

Mechanosensitivity in Pulmonary Circulation: Pathophysiological Relevance of Stretch-Activated Channels in Pulmonary Hypertension. Biomolecules 2021; 11:biom11091389.

Abstract
A variety of cell types in pulmonary arteries (endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and smooth muscle cells) are continuously exposed to mechanical stimulations such as shear stress and pulsatile blood pressure, which are altered under conditions of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Most functions of such vascular cells (e.g., contraction, migration, proliferation, production of extracellular matrix proteins, etc.) depend on a key event, i.e., the increase in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) which results from an influx of extracellular Ca2+ and/or a release of intracellular stored Ca2+. Calcium entry from the extracellular space is a major step in the elevation of [Ca2+]i, involving a variety of plasmalemmal Ca2+ channels including the superfamily of stretch-activated channels (SAC). A common characteristic of SAC is that their gating depends on membrane stretch. In general, SAC are non-selective Ca2+-permeable cation channels, including proteins of the TRP (Transient Receptor Potential) and Piezo channel superfamily. As membrane mechano-transducers, SAC convert physical forces into biological signals and hence into a cell response. Consequently, SAC play a major role in pulmonary arterial calcium homeostasis and, thus, appear as potential novel drug targets for a better management of PH.

Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) disorders like Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson disease (PD), stroke, epilepsy, depression, and bipolar disorder have a high impact on both medical and social problems due to the surge in their prevalence. All of these neuronal disorders share some common etiologies including disruption of Ca2+ homeostasis and accumulation of misfolded proteins. These misfolded proteins further disrupt the intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis by disrupting the activity of several ion channels including transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. TRP channel families include non-selective Ca2+ permeable channels, which act as cellular sensors activated by various physio-chemical stimuli, exogenous, and endogenous ligands responsible for maintaining the intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis. TRP channels are abundantly expressed in the neuronal cells and disturbance in their activity leads to various neuronal diseases. Under the pathological conditions when the activity of TRP channels is perturbed, there is a disruption of the neuronal homeostasis through increased inflammatory response, generation of reactive oxygen species, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Therefore, there is a potential of pharmacological interventions targeting TRP channels in CNS disorders. This review focuses on the role of TRP channels in neurological diseases; also, we have highlighted the current insights into the pharmacological modulators targeting TRP channels.

Abstract
Vascular beds are anatomically and functionally compartmentalized into arteries, capillaries, and veins. The bulk of the vasculature consists of the dense, anastomosing capillary network, composed of capillary endothelial cells (cECs) that are intimately associated with the parenchyma. Despite their abundance, the ion channel expression and function and Ca2+ signaling behaviors of capillaries have only recently begun to be explored in detail. Here, we discuss the established and emerging roles of ion channels and Ca2+ signaling in cECs. By mining a publicly available RNA-seq dataset, we outline the wide variety of ion channel genes that are expressed in these cells, which potentially imbue capillaries with a broad range of sensing and signal transduction capabilities. We also underscore subtle but critical differences between cEC and arteriolar EC ion channel expression that likely underlie key functional differences in ECs at these different levels of the vascular tree. We focus our discussion on the cerebral vasculature, but the findings and principles being elucidated in this area likely generalize to other vascular beds.

TRPP2 associates with STIM1 to regulate cerebral vasoconstriction and enhance high salt intake-induced hypertensive cerebrovascular spasm. Hypertens Res 2019; 42:1894-1904.

Abstract
Cerebrovascular spasm is a life-threatening event in salt-sensitive hypertension. The relationship between store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) and vasoconstriction in hypertension has not been fully clarified. This study investigated the changes in cerebrovascular contractile responses in high salt intake-induced hypertension and the functional roles of the main components of SOCE, namely, polycystin-2 (TRPP2), stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), and Orai3. Polycystic kidney disease 2 (which encodes TRPP2) knockout mice displayed decreased cerebrovascular SOCE-induced contraction. The blood pressure of age-matched rats fed a normal or high-salt diet for 4 weeks was monitored weekly using noninvasive tail-cuff plethysmography. The systolic blood pressure of the rats fed a high-salt diet was significantly higher than that of controls. Western blotting and immunohistochemical results showed that these hypertensive rats expressed higher levels of cerebrovascular TRPP2, STIM1, and Orai3 than controls. Cerebrovascular tension measurements of the basilar artery indicated that SOCE-mediated contraction was significantly increased in hypertensive rats compared with control rats. In addition, SOCE-mediated contraction was decreased in the basilar arteries of rats pretreated with the SOCE inhibitor BTP-2 (10 μM) or transfected with TRPP2-specific or STIM1-specific small interfering RNA. Staining with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) was used to quantify the infarcted brain area 24 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion, a model of ischemic stroke, in rodents. The infarcted brain area was significantly greater in hypertensive rats and significantly lower in BTP-2-treated rats than in controls. Taken together, these findings indicate that SOCE-induced contraction may be overactive in the basilar arteries of salt-sensitive hypertensive rats, suggesting the dysregulation of TRPP2 and SOCE and its other components.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential polycystin-2 (TRPP2) is encoded by the Pkd2 gene, and mutation of this gene can cause autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Some patients with ADPKD experience extrarenal manifestations, including radiologic and clinical bronchiectasis. We hypothesized that TRPP2 may regulate airway smooth muscle (ASM) tension. Thus, we used smooth muscle-Pkd2 conditional knockout (Pkd2SM-CKO) mice to investigate whether TRPP2 regulated ASM tension and whether TRPP2 deficiency contributed to bronchiectasis associated with ADPKD. Compared with wild-type mice, Pkd2SM-CKO mice breathed more shallowly and faster, and their cross-sectional area ratio of bronchi to accompanying pulmonary arteries was higher, suggesting that TRPP2 may regulate ASM tension and contribute to the occurrence of bronchiectasis in ADPKD. In a bioassay examining isolated tracheal ring tension, no significant difference was found for high-potassium-induced depolarization of the ASM between the two groups, indicating that TRPP2 does not regulate depolarization-induced ASM contraction. By contrast, carbachol-induced contraction of the ASM derived from Pkd2SM-CKO mice was significantly reduced compared with that in wild-type mice. In addition, relaxation of the carbachol-precontracted ASM by isoprenaline, a β-adrenergic receptor agonist that acts through the cAMP/adenylyl cyclase pathway, was also significantly attenuated in Pkd2SM-CKO mice compared with that in wild-type mice. Thus, TRPP2 deficiency suppressed both contraction and relaxation of the ASM. These results provide a potential target for regulating ASM tension and for developing therapeutic alternatives for some ADPKD complications of the respiratory system or for independent respiratory disease, especially bronchiectasis.

Abstract
Background Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited kidney disorder characterized by progressive cyst formation and expansion in the kidneys, which culminates in end-stage renal disease. Aortic dissection is a rare vascular complication of ADPKD and related literature is currently limited. Case presentation In this report, we described a patient with asymptomatic Stanford B aortic dissection. Further investigation revealed a positive family history of ADPKD and normal renal function. Whole exome sequencing identified a stop-gain mutation c.1774C > T, p.Arg592Ter in the PKD2 gene that segregated in the family. To our knowledge, this is the first report of ADPKD complicated with aortic dissection caused by PKD2 mutation. Conclusions The case illustrates the importance of aorta imaging and molecular diagnosis in ADPKD patients in order to achieve early recognition of the deadly vascular complication.

Abstract
Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a life-threatening cardiovascular disease with the high morbidity and mortality. Imaging modalities are the gold standard for the diagnosis of AAD; however, they are not always available in emergency department. Biomarker-assisted diagnosis is important for the early treatment of AAD. The aim of the present study was to identify potential microRNA (miRNA) biomarkers for AAD. Differentially expressed plasma miRNAs between AAD patients and age-matched healthy volunteers were analyzed by miRNA microarray. Quantitative RT-PCR was further performed to verify the expression of selected miRNAs (miR-4787-5p and miR-4306) with an increased number of samples. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to assess the diagnostic value of miR-4787-5p and miR-4306 as biomarkers for distinguishing AAD. Using TargetScan and miRanda, miR-4787-5p and miR-4306 were selected to predict target gene related to cytokines detecting by dual luciferase assay and western blotting. Nine upregulated and twelve downregulated miRNAs were identified in the circulating plasma of AAD patients. qRT-PCR verified statistically consistent expression of two selected miRNAs with microarray analysis. ROC analyses demonstrated that miR-4787-5p and miR-4306 were specific and sensitive for the early diagnosis of AAD. Bioinformatic predictions and dual luciferase assay suggested that polycystin-1 (PKD1) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) were respectively direct target of miR-4787-5p and miR-4306. Furthermore, the protein expression of the downstream targets of PKD1 and TGF-β1 were significantly reduced following overexpression of miR-4787-5p and miR-4306. These results revealed that miR-4787-5p and miR-4306 could be developed as diagnostic potential biomarkers for AAD, and they could be involved in the pathogenesis of AAD.

Abstract
Mutations in either polycystin-1 (PC1 or PKD1) or polycystin-2 (PC2, PKD2 or TRPP1) cause autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) through unknown mechanisms. Here we present the structure of human PC2 in a closed conformation, solved by electron cryomicroscopy at 4.2-Å resolution. The structure reveals a novel polycystin-specific 'tetragonal opening for polycystins' (TOP) domain tightly bound to the top of a classic transient receptor potential (TRP) channel structure. The TOP domain is formed from two extensions to the voltage-sensor-like domain (VSLD); it covers the channel's endoplasmic reticulum lumen or extracellular surface and encloses an upper vestibule, above the pore filter, without blocking the ion-conduction pathway. The TOP-domain fold is conserved among the polycystins, including the homologous channel-like region of PC1, and is the site of a cluster of ADPKD-associated missense variants. Extensive contacts among the TOP-domain subunits, the pore and the VSLD provide ample scope for regulation through physical and chemical stimuli.
