Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels belong to an important class of non-selective cation channels. This channel family consists of multiple members that widely participate in various physiological and pathological processes. Previous studies have uncovered the intricate regulation of these channels, as well as the spatial arrangement of TRPCs and the binding sites for various small molecule compounds. Multiple small molecules have been identified as selective agonists or inhibitors targeting different subtypes of TRPC, including potential preclinical drug candidates. This review covers recent advancements in the understanding of TRPC regulation and structure and the discovery of TRPC small molecules over the past few years, with the aim of facilitating research on TRPCs and small-molecule drug discovery.

Can J Cardiol 2023; 39:1859-1873. [PMID: 37865227 DOI: 10.1016/j.cjca.2023.10.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/23/2023] Open
Abstract
The transient receptor potential (TRP) channel superfamily is a group of nonselective cation channels that function as cellular sensors for a wide range of physical, chemical, and environmental stimuli. According to sequence homology, TRP channels are categorized into 6 subfamilies: TRP canonical, TRP vanilloid, TRP melastatin, TRP ankyrin, TRP mucolipin, and TRP polycystin. They are widely expressed in different cell types and tissues and have essential roles in various physiological and pathological processes by regulating the concentration of ions (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, and K+) and influencing intracellular signalling pathways. Human data and experimental models indicate the importance of TRP channels in vascular homeostasis and hypertension. Furthermore, TRP channels have emerged as key players in oxidative stress and inflammation, important in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension. In this review, we present an overview of the TRP channels with a focus on their role in hypertension. In particular, we highlight mechanisms activated by TRP channels in vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells and discuss their contribution to processes underlying vascular dysfunction in hypertension.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The role and underlying mechanisms mediated by dietary salt in modulating the gut microbiota and contributing to heart failure (HF) are not clear. This review summarizes the mechanisms of dietary salt and the gut-heart axis in HF. RECENT FINDINGS The gut microbiota has been implicated in several cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) including HF. Dietary factors including high consumption of salt play a role in influencing the gut microbiota, resulting in dysbiosis. An imbalance of microbial species due to a reduction in microbial diversity with accompanying immune cell activation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of HF via several mechanisms. The gut microbiota and gut-associated metabolites contribute to HF by reducing gut microbiota biodiversity and activating several signaling pathways. High dietary salt modulates the gut microbiota composition and exacerbate or induce HF by increasing the expression of the epithelial sodium/hydrogen exchanger isoform 3 in the gut, cardiac expression of beta myosin heavy chain, activation of the myocyte enhancer factor/nuclear factor of activated T cell, and salt-inducible kinase 1. These mechanisms explain the resulting structural and functional derangements in patients with HF.

Dietary salt intake predicts future development of metabolic syndrome in the general population. Hypertens Res 2023; 46:236-243.

Abstract
Excessive dietary salt consumption is one of the most important risk factors for hypertension. Metabolic disorders often coexist with hypertension, and excess salt intake has been reported to underlie metabolic disorders, such as insulin resistance. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that excessive dietary salt causes metabolic syndrome in the general population. In total, 13886 subjects who participated in our medical checkup were enrolled, and salt intake was assessed using a spot urine sample. The characteristics of participants with metabolic syndrome (n = 1630) were examined at baseline, and then participants without metabolic syndrome (n = 12256) were followed up with the endpoint being the development of metabolic syndrome. The average estimated salt intake in our participants was 8.72 ± 1.93 g/day. A significant association between salt intake and metabolic syndrome was obtained from the logistic regression analysis, and salt intake increased as the number of metabolic disorders in an individual increased at baseline (P < 0.001). During the median follow-up period of 52 months, 1669 participants developed metabolic syndrome. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated an increased risk of metabolic syndrome across quartiles of baseline salt intake (log-rank, P < 0.001). In the Cox proportional hazard regression analysis where salt intake was taken as a continuous variable, salt intake at baseline was an independent predictor of developing metabolic syndrome. These results suggest that excessive salt intake is significantly associated with the development of metabolic syndrome in the general population. Salt may play an important role in the development of metabolic disorders and hypertension.

Abstract
Background Salt-sensitive hypertension is highly prevalent and associated with cardiorenal damage. Large clinical trials have demonstrated that SGLT2 (sodium-glucose cotransporter 2) inhibitors exert hypotensive effect and cardiorenal protective benefits in patients with hypertension with and without diabetes. However, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Methods and Results Dahl salt-sensitive rats and salt-insensitive controls were fed with 8% high-salt diet and some of them were treated with canagliflozin. The blood pressure, urinary sodium excretion, and vascular function were detected. Transient receptor potential channel 3 (TRPC3) knockout mice were used to explain the mechanism. Canagliflozin treatment significantly reduced high-salt-induced hypertension and this effect was not totally dependent on urinary sodium excretion in salt-sensitive hypertensive rats. Assay of vascular function and proteomics showed that canagliflozin significantly inhibited vascular cytoplasmic calcium increase and vasoconstriction in response to high-salt diet. High salt intake increased vascular expression of TRPC3 in salt-sensitive rats, which could be alleviated by canagliflozin treatment. Overexpression of TRPC3 mimicked salt-induced vascular cytosolic calcium increase in vitro and knockout of TRPC3 erased the antihypertensive effect of canagliflozin. Mechanistically, high-salt-induced activation of NCX1 (sodium-calcium exchanger 1) reverse mode increased cytoplasmic calcium level and vasoconstriction, which required TRPC3, and this process could be blocked by canagliflozin. Conclusions We define a previously unrecognized role of TRPC3/NCX1 mediated vascular calcium dysfunction in the development of high-salt-induced hypertension, which can be improved by canagliflozin treatment. This pathway is potentially a novel therapeutic target to antagonize salt-sensitive hypertension.

Abstract
Store-operated channels (SOCs) are highly selective Ca2+ channels that mediate Ca2+ influx in non-excitable and excitable (i.e., skeletal and cardiac muscle) cells. These channels are triggered by Ca2+ depletion of the endoplasmic reticulum and sarcoplasmic reticulum, independently of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3), which is involved in cell growth, differentiation, and gene transcription. When the Ca2+ store is depleted, stromal interaction molecule1 (STIM1) as Ca2+ sensor redistributes into discrete puncta near the plasma membrane and activates the protein Ca2+ release activated Ca2+ channel protein 1 (Orai1). Accumulating evidence suggests that SOC is associated with several physiological roles in endothelial dysfunction and vascular smooth muscle proliferation that contribute to the progression of cardiovascular disease. This review mainly elaborates on the contribution of SOC in the vasculature (endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells). We will further retrospect the literature implicating a critical role for these proteins in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Canonical transient receptor potential channels (TRPCs) are nonselective, high calcium permeability cationic channels. The TRPCs family includes TRPC1, TRPC2, TRPC3, TRPC4, TRPC5, TRPC6, and TRPC7. These channels are widely expressed in the cardiovascular and nervous systems and exist in many other human tissues and cell types, playing several crucial roles in the human physiological and pathological processes. Hence, the emergence of TRPCs modulators can help investigate these channels’ applications in health and disease. It is worth noting that the TRPCs subfamilies have structural and functional similarities, which presents a significant difficulty in screening and discovering of TRPCs modulators. In the past few years, only a limited number of selective modulators of TRPCs were detected; thus, additional research on more potent and more selective TRPCs modulators is needed. The present review focuses on the striking desired therapeutic effects of TRPCs modulators, which provides intel on the structural modification of TRPCs modulators and further pharmacological research. Importantly, TRPCs modulators can significantly facilitate future studies of TRPCs and TRPCs related diseases.

Abstract
Worldwide, more than 1 billion people have elevated blood pressure, with up to 45% of adults affected by the disease. In 2016 the global health study report on patients from 67 countries was released in Lancet, which identified hypertension as the world's leading cause for death and disability-adjusted years since 1990. This paper aims to analyze the pathophysiological connection between hemodynamic inflammatory reactions through sodium balance, salt sensitivity, and potential pathophysiological reactions. Besides, we explore how sodium consumption enhances the expression of transient receptor potential channel 3 (TrpC3) mRNA and facilitates the release of calcium inside immune cell groups, together with elevated blood pressure in essential hypertensive patients.
