Abstract
The balance between neural stem cell proliferation and neuronal differentiation is paramount for the appropriate development of the nervous system. Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is known to sequentially promote cell proliferation and specification of neuronal phenotypes, but the signaling mechanisms responsible for the developmental switch from mitogenic to neurogenic have remained unclear. Here, we show that Shh enhances Ca2+ activity at the neural cell primary cilium of developing Xenopus laevis embryos through Ca2+ influx via transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 3 (TRPC3) and release from intracellular stores in a developmental stage-dependent manner. This ciliary Ca2+ activity in turn antagonizes canonical, proliferative Shh signaling in neural stem cells by down-regulating Sox2 expression and up-regulating expression of neurogenic genes, enabling neuronal differentiation. These discoveries indicate that the Shh-Ca2+-dependent switch in neural cell ciliary signaling triggers the switch in Shh action from canonical-mitogenic to neurogenic. The molecular mechanisms identified in this neurogenic signaling axis are potential targets for the treatment of brain tumors and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Abstract
A number of different ion channel types are involved in cell signaling networks, and homeostatic regulatory mechanisms contribute to the control of ion channel expression. Profiling of global gene expression using microarray technology has recently provided novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the homeostatic and pathological control of ion channel expression. It has demonstrated that the dysregulation of ion channel expression is associated with the pathogenesis of neural, cardiovascular, and immune diseases as well as cancers. In addition to the transcriptional, translational, and post-translational regulation of ion channels, potentially important evidence on the mechanisms controlling ion channel expression has recently been accumulated. The regulation of alternative pre-mRNA splicing is therefore a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of dominant-negative splicing disorders. Epigenetic modification plays a key role in various pathological conditions through the regulation of pluripotency genes. Inhibitors of pre-mRNA splicing and histone deacetyalase/methyltransferase have potential as potent therapeutic drugs for cancers and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Moreover, membrane-anchoring proteins, lysosomal and proteasomal degradation-related molecules, auxiliary subunits, and pharmacological agents alter the protein folding, membrane trafficking, and post-translational modifications of ion channels, and are linked to expression-defect channelopathies. In this review, we focused on recent insights into the transcriptional, spliceosomal, epigenetic, and proteasomal regulation of ion channel expression: Ca(2+) channels (TRPC/TRPV/TRPM/TRPA/Orai), K(+) channels (voltage-gated, KV/Ca(2+)-activated, KCa/two-pore domain, K2P/inward-rectifier, Kir), and Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channels (TMEM16A/TMEM16B). Furthermore, this review highlights expression of these ion channels in expression-defect channelopathies.

Abstract
TRPC3 represents one of the first identified mammalian relative of the Drosophila trp gene product. Despite extensive biochemical and biophysical characterization as well as ambitious attempts to uncover its physiological role in native cell systems, the channel protein still represents a rather enigmatic member of the TRP superfamily. TRPC3 is significantly expressed in the brain and heart and appears of (patho)physiological importance in both non-excitable and excitable cells, being potentially involved in a wide spectrum of Ca(2+) signaling mechanisms. TRPC3 cation channels display unique gating and regulatory properties that allow for recognition and integration of multiple input stimuli including lipid mediators, cellular Ca(2+) gradients, as well as redox signals. Physiological/pathophysiological functions of this highly versatile cation channel protein are as yet incompletely understood. Its ability to associate in a dynamic manner with a variety of partner proteins enables TRPC3 to serve coordination of multiple downstream signaling pathways and control of divergent cellular functions. Here, we summarize current knowledge on ion channel features as well as possible signaling functions of TRPC3 and discuss the potential biological relevance of this signaling molecule.

Abstract
Canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC3) nonselective cation channels are effectors of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), activated via phospholipase C-diacylglycerol signaling. In cerebellar Purkinje cells, TRPC3 channels cause the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR)-mediated slow EPSC (sEPSC). TRPC3 channels also provide negative feedback regulation of cytosolic Ca(2+), mediated by a C terminus "calmodulin and inositol trisphosphate receptor binding" (CIRB) domain. Here we report the alternative splicing of the TRPC3 mRNA transcript (designated TRPC3c), resulting in omission of exon 9 (approximately half of the CIRB domain) in mice, rats, and guinea pigs. TRPC3c expression is brain region specific, with prevalence in the cerebellum and brainstem. The TRPC3c channels expressed in HEK293 cells exhibit increased basal and GPCR-activated channel currents, and increased Ca(2+) fluorescence responses, compared with the previously characterized (TRPC3b) isoform when activated via either the endogenous M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, or via coexpressed mGluR1. GPCR-induced TRPC3c channel opening rate (cell-attached patch) matched the maximum activation achieved with inside-out patches with zero cytosolic Ca(2+), whereas the GPCR-induced TRPC3b activation frequency was significantly less. Both TRPC3 channel isoforms were blocked with 2 mm Ca(2+), attributable to CIRB domain regulation. In addition, genistein blocked Purkinje cell (S)-2-amino-2-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl) acetic acid (mGluR1)-activated TPRC3 current as for recombinant TRPC3c current. This novel TRPC3c ion channel therefore has enhanced efficacy as a neuronal GPCR-Ca(2+) signaling effector, and is associated with sensorimotor coordination, neuronal development, and brain injury.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins form cation channels that are regulated through strikingly diverse mechanisms including multiple cell surface receptors, changes in temperature, in pH and osmolarity, in cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), and by phosphoinositides which makes them polymodal sensors for fine tuning of many cellular and systemic processes in the body. The 28 TRP proteins identified in mammals are classified into six subfamilies: TRPC, TRPV, TRPM, TRPA, TRPML, and TRPP. When activated, they contribute to cell depolarization and Ca(2+) entry. In mast cells, the increase of [Ca(2+)](i) is fundamental for their biological activity, and several entry pathways for Ca(2+) and other cations were described including Ca(2+) release activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels. Like in other non-excitable cells, TRP channels could directly contribute to Ca(2+) influx via the plasma membrane as constituents of Ca(2+) conducting channel complexes or indirectly by shifting the membrane potential and regulation of the driving force for Ca(2+) entry through independent Ca(2+) entry channels. Here, we summarize the current knowledge about the expression of individual Trp genes with the majority of the 28 members being yet identified in different mast cell models, and we highlight mechanisms how they can regulate mast cell functions. Since specific agonists or blockers are still lacking for most members of the TRP family, studies to unravel their function and activation mode still rely on experiments using genetic approaches and transgenic animals. RNAi approaches suggest a functional role for TRPC1, TRPC5, and TRPM7 in mast cell derived cell lines or primary mast cells, and studies using Trp gene knock-out mice reveal a critical role for TRPM4 in mast cell activation and for mast cell mediated cutaneous anaphylaxis, whereas a direct role of cold- and menthol-activated TRPM8 channels seems to be unlikely for the development of cold urticaria at least in mice.

Abstract
During membrane depolarization associated with skeletal excitation-contraction (EC) coupling, dihydropyridine receptor [DHPR, a L-type Ca(2+) channel in the transverse (t)-tubule membrane] undergoes conformational changes that are transmitted to ryanodine receptor 1 [RyR1, an internal Ca(2+)-release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane] causing Ca(2+) release from the SR. Canonical-type transient receptor potential cation channel 3 (TRPC3), an extracellular Ca(2+)-entry channel in the t-tubule and plasma membrane, is required for full-gain of skeletal EC coupling. To examine additional role(s) for TRPC3 in skeletal muscle other than mediation of EC coupling, in the present study, we created a stable myoblast line with reduced TRPC3 expression and without alpha1((S))DHPR (MDG/TRPC3 KD myoblast) by knock-down of TRPC3 in alpha1((S))DHPR-null muscular dysgenic (MDG) myoblasts using retrovirus-delivered small interference RNAs in order to eliminate any DHPR-associated EC coupling-related events. Unlike wild-type or alpha1((S))DHPR-null MDG myoblasts, MDG/TRPC3 KD myoblasts exhibited dramatic changes in cellular morphology (e.g., unusual expansion of both cell volume and the plasma membrane, and multi-nuclei) and failed to differentiate into myotubes possibly due to increased Ca(2+) content in the SR. These results suggest that TRPC3 plays an important role in the maintenance of skeletal muscle myoblasts and myotubes.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins are involved in a large number of non-selective cation channels that are permeable to both monovalent and divalent cations. Two general classes of receptor-mediated Ca(2+) entry has been proposed: one of then is conduced by receptor-operated Ca(2+) channels (ROC), the second is mediated by channels activated by the emptying of intracellular Ca(2+) stores (store-operated channels or SOC). TRP channels have been presented as subunits of both ROC and SOC, although the precise mechanism that regulates the participation of TRP proteins in these Ca(2+) entry mechanisms remains unclear. Recently, TRPC proteins have been shown to associate with Orai1 and STIM1 in a dynamic ternary complex regulated by the occupation of membrane receptors in several cell models, which might play an important role in the function of TRPC proteins. The present review summarizes the current knowledge concerning the association of TRP proteins with Orai and STIM proteins and how this affects the participation of TRP proteins in store-operated or receptor-operated Ca(2+) entry.

Abstract
Canonical transient receptor potential type 3 (TRPC3) ion channels assemble from TRPC3 subunits and exhibit multiple activation mechanisms. TRPC3 has been proposed to contribute to Ca(2+) entry supporting Ca(2+) homeostasis in cochlear hair cells and to be activated by G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling in spiral ganglion neurons. The present study was designed to determine the spatiotemporal profile of TRPC3 expression during mouse cochlear ontogeny. TRPC3 immunofluorescence of cryosectioned cochleae was performed using E16-adult tissue. We found that prior to birth, TRPC3 expression was strongest in epithelial cells that form the cochlear partition. In the early postnatal period, to the onset of hearing (~P12), immunofluorescence was strongest in the hair cells, with increased expression in stria vascularis and Reissner's membrane. Afferent neurite labeling in inner spiral plexus and outer spiral bundles developed transiently in the perinatal period, corresponding to the critical period of synaptic consolidation, while signal in the spiral ganglion soma increased from the perinatal period through to adulthood. Compared with the late embryonic/early postnatal levels, hair cell expression was relatively weaker from the third postnatal week, whereas spiral ganglion soma labeling was stronger. In the adult, TRPC3 expression was primarily in the soma of spiral ganglion neurons, the hair cells, and the inner and outer sulcus regions. This spatiotemporal profile of TRPC3 expression was consistent with this ion channel contributing to development of sensory, neural and epithelial cochlear tissues, as well as hair cell Ca(2+) homeostasis and regulation of auditory neurotransmission via GPCR signaling.

Abstract
The realization that there exists a multimembered family of cation channels with structural similarity to Drosophila's Trp channel emerged during the second half of the 1990s. In mammals, depending on the species, the TRP family counts 29 or 30 members which has been subdivided into 6 subfamilies on the basis of sequence similarity. TRP channels are nonselective monovalent cation channels, most of which also allow passage of Ca(2+). Many members of each of these families, but not all, are involved in sensory signal transduction. The C-type (for canonical or classical) subfamily, differs from the other TRP subfamilies in that it fulfills two different types of function: membrane depolarization, resembling sensory transduction TRPs, and mediation of sustained increases in intracellular Ca(2+). The mechanism(s) by which the C-class of TRP channels-the TRPCs-are activated is poorly understood and their role in mediating intracellular Ca(2+) increases is being questioned. Both of these questions-mechanism of activation and participation in Ca(2+) entry-are the topics of this review.

Abstract
Angiotensin-II (Ang-II) exerts many of its vascular effects, including the pathophysiological changes associated with type 2 diabetes, through changes in intracellular calcium concentration [Ca(2+)](i). We sought to clarify the mechanism responsible for Ang-II-induced Ca(2+) influx in cultured aortic VSMC using the Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat model of type 2 diabetes. Ang-II-induced Ca(2+) influx was blocked by neither VDCC nor c-src inhibition but was sensitive to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor inhibition, lanthanide and the diacylglycerol analogue, oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol. Since transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC)-3 gene expression was undetectable in both WKY and GK VSMCs and TRPC6 gene and protein expression were significantly down-regulated in GK, we believe the 1/4/5 subgroup of TRPC proteins plays a significant role. Furthermore, in GK VSMC the elevated calcium influx observed was not attributable to increased TRPC expression, but rather an alteration of TRPC activity.

Abstract
The preservation of bone mass relies on adequate proliferation, differentiation, secretion of matrix proteins and rate of apoptosis of the bone-forming osteoblasts. Although growing body of evidence indicates that the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels play important roles in numerous cellular functions, limited information is available about the TRP channels in osteoblasts. Here, we inventoried the gene expression and addressed some roles of the TRP channels in various osteoblast-like cells. The transcripts of canonical TRP (TRPC) channels were revealed for TRPC1, TRPC3, TRPC4 and TRPC6 in human MG-63, SaOS and U2 OS osteoblasts while transcripts for TRPC2, TRPC4, TRPC6 and TRPC7 were observed in the murine MC3T3 osteoblasts. PCR products were shown for the melastatin-related TRP (TRPM) channels TRPM4, TRPM6, TRPM7 and TRPM8 in all cell lines. The TRPM1 was specifically expressed by murine MC3T3 cells while the TRPM3 transcripts were revealed solely in human osteoblast-like cells. Transcripts for TRPV2 and TRPV4 were shown in osteoblastic cells. By interfering RNA approaches, the TRPC1 channels in osteoblasts were shown to be responsible for the capacitative calcium entry (CCE) and for the stimulation of cell proliferation by platelet-derived growth factor. On the other hand, interfering RNA-mediated abrogation of the expression of TRPM7, known as calcium and magnesium channels, resulted in the reduction of both basal and growth factor-stimulated osteoblastic cell proliferation. Our results provide the first complete reference for the gene expression of TRP channels in osteoblasts and point to their importance in cell proliferation.

Abstract
In HEK293 cells, transfected with the Ca2+ channel protein TRPV6, Ca2+ influx is increased and TRPV6 is tyrosine phosphorylated following addition of the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor N,N-dimethyl-hydroxamido hydroxovanadate to cells. This effect of DMHV is enhanced by co-transfection of cells with the tyrosine kinase Src and the tyrosine phosphatase 1B. It is abolished when cells had been treated with PP1, an inhibitor of Src family tyrosine kinases. PTP1B interacts with the N-terminal domain of TRPV6 within a region of amino acids 1-191 as shown by co-immunoprecipitation, bimolecular fluorescence complementation and the yeast 2-hybrid system. Point mutation of both tyrosines 161 and 162 in the TRPV6 protein abolishes the DMHV-effect on Ca2+ influx and tyrosine phosphorylation by Src. Single mutations of Y161 or Y162 shows that each of both tyrosines alone is sufficient for the DMHV-effect. We conclude that phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of tyrosines in position 161 and 162 is essential for regulation of Ca2+ influx through TRPV6 Ca2+ channels in HEK293 cells.

Recently, however, STIM1 and Orai1 proteins have been proposed to form SOCE channels. Whether TRPCs participate in SOCE that is dependent on or regulated by Orai has not been explored. Here we show that Orai1 physically interacts with the N and C termini of TRPC3 and TRPC6, and that in cells overexpressing either TRPC3 or TRPC6 in a store-depletion insensitive manner, these TRPCs become sensitive to store depletion upon expression of an exogenous Orai. Thus, Orai-1, -2, and -3 enhanced thapsigargin-induced calcium entry by 50-150% in cells stably overexpressing either TRPC3 or TRPC6. Orai1 expression had no significant effect on endogenous, thapsigargin-induced calcium entry in wild-type cells (HEK-293, COS1), in HEK cells expressing a thapsigargin-sensitive variant of TRPC3 (TRPC3a), or in HEK cells overexpressing another membrane protein, V1aR. Single-channel cation currents present in membrane patches of TRPC3-overexpressing cells were suppressed by expression of Orai1. We propose that Orai proteins by interacting with TRPCs act as regulatory subunits that confer STIM1-mediated store depletion sensitivity to these channels.

Abstract
TRPC3 represents one of the first identified mammalian relatives of the Drosophila trp gene product. Despite intensive biochemical and biophysical characterization as well as numerous attempts to uncover its physiological role in native cell systems, this channel protein still represents one of the most enigmatic members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily. TRPC3 is significantly expressed in brain and heart and likely to play a role in both non-excitable as well as excitable cells, being potentially involved in a wide spectrum of Ca2+ signalling mechanisms. Its ability to associate with a variety of partner proteins apparently enables TRPC3 to form different cation channels in native cells. TRPC3 cation channels display unique gating and regulatory properties that allow for recognition and integration of multiple input stimuli including lipid mediators and cellular Ca2+ gradients as well as redox signals. The physiological/pathophysiological functions of this highly versatile cation channel protein are as yet barely delineated. Here we summarize current knowledge on properties and possible signalling functions of TRPC3 and discuss the potential biological relevance of this signalling molecule.

Abstract
Reversal of the Na+/Ca2+ -exchanger (NCX) has been shown to mediate Ca2+ influx during activation of G-protein linked receptors. Functional coupling between the reverse-mode NCX and the canonical transient receptor potential channels (TRPCs) has been proposed to mediate Ca2+ influx in HEK-293 cells overexpressing TRPC3. In this communication we present evidence for similar functional coupling of NCX to endogenously expressed TRPC6 in rat aorta smooth muscle cells. Selective inhibition of reverse-mode NCX with KB-R7943 and of non-selective cation-channels with SKF-96365 abolished Ca2+ influx in response to agonist stimulation (ATP). Expression of a dominant negative TRPC6 mutant also reduced the Ca2+ influx in proportion to its transfection efficiency. Calyculin A, which is known to disrupt the junctions of the plasma membrane and sarco/endoplasmic reticulum, increased global Na+ elevations and reduced stimulated Ca2+ influx. Together our data provide evidence that localized Na+ elevations are generated by TRPC6 and drive reversal of NCX to mediate Ca2+ influx.

Abstract
Ca(2+) signaling regulates many important physiological events within a diverse set of living organisms. In particular, sustained Ca(2+) signals play an important role in controlling cell proliferation, cell differentiation and the activation of immune cells. Two key elements for the generation of sustained Ca(2+) signals are store-operated and receptor-operated Ca(2+) channels that are activated downstream of phospholipase C (PLC) stimulation, in response to G-protein-coupled receptor or growth factor receptor stimulation. One goal of this review is to help clarify the role of canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) proteins in the formation of native store-operated and native receptor-operated channels. Toward that end, data from studies of endogenous TRPC proteins will be reviewed in detail to highlight the strong case for the involvement of certain TRPC proteins in the formation of one subtype of store-operated channel, which exhibits a low Ca(2+)-selectivity, in contrast to the high Ca(2+)-selectivity exhibited by the CRAC subtype of store-operated channel. A second goal of this review is to highlight the growing body of evidence indicating that native store-operated and native receptor-operated channels are formed by the heteromultimerization of TRPC subunits. Furthermore, evidence will be provided to argue that some TRPC proteins are able to form multiple channel types.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca(2+) channels (SOCs) mediate receptor-stimulated Ca(2+) influx. Accumulating evidence indicates that members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel family are components of SOCs in mammalian cells. Agonist stimulation activates SOCs and TRP channels directly and by inducing translocation of channels in intracellular vesicles to the plasma membrane (PM). The mechanism of TRP channel translocation in response to store depletion and agonist stimulation is not known. Here we use TRPC3 as a model to show that IP(3) and the scaffold Homer 1 (H1) regulate the rate of translocation and retrieval of TRPC3 from the PM. In resting cells, TRPC3 exists in TRPC3-H1b/c-IP(3)Rs complexes that are located in part at the PM and in part in intracellular vesicles. Binding of IP(3) to the IP(3)Rs dissociates the interaction between IP(3)Rs and H1 but not between H1 and TRPC3 to form IP(3)Rs-TRPC3-H1b/c. TIRFM and biotinylation assays show robust receptor- and store-dependent translocation of the TRPC3 to the PM and their retrieval upon termination of cell stimulation. The translocation requires depletion of stored Ca(2+) and is prevented by inhibition of the IP(3)Rs. In HEK293, dissociating the H1b/c-IP(3)R complex with H1a results in TRPC3 translocation to the PM, where it is spontaneously active. The TRPC3-H1b/c-IP(3)Rs complex is reconstituted by infusing H1c into these cells. Reconstitution is inhibited by IP(3). Deletion of H1 in mice markedly reduces the rates of translocation and retrieval of TRPC3. Conversely, infusion of H1c into H1(-/-) cells eliminates spontaneous channel activity and increases the rate of channel activation by agonist stimulation. The effects of H1c are inhibited by IP(3). These findings together with our earlier studies demonstrating gating of TRPC3 by IP(3)Rs were used to develop a model in which assembly of the TRPC3-H1b/c-IP(3)Rs complexes by H1b/c mediates both the translocation of TRPC3-containing vesicles to the PM and gating of TRPC3 by IP(3)Rs.

Abstract
Smooth muscle cells (SMC) are essential components of many tissues of the body. Ion channels regulate their membrane potential, the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and their contractility. Among the ion channels expressed in SMC cation channels of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily allow the entry of Na(+), Ca(2+) and Mg(2+). Members of the TRP superfamily are essential constituents of tonically active channels (TAC), receptor-operated channels (ROC), store-operated channels (SOC) and stretch-activated channels (SAC). This review focusses on TRP channels (TRPC1, TRPC3, TRPC4, TRPC5, TRPC6, TRPC7, TRPV2, TRPV4, TRPM4, TRPM7, TRPP2) whose physiological functions in SMC were dissected by downregulating channel activity in isolated tissues or by the analysis of gene-deficient mouse models. Their possible functional role and physiological regulation as homomeric or heteromeric channels in SMC are discussed. Moreover, TRP channels may also be responsible for pathophysiological processes involving SMC-like airway hyperresponsiveness and pulmonary hypertension. Therefore, they present important drug targets for future pharmacological interventions.

Abstract
Regulated translocation of canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) proteins to the plasma membrane has been proposed as a mechanism of their activation. By using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM), we monitored green fluorescent protein-labeled TRPC3 (TRPC3-GFP) movement to the plasma membrane in HEK293 cells stably expressing this fusion protein. We observed no increase in TRPC3-GFP TIRFM in response to the muscarinic receptor agonist methacholine or the synthetic diacylglycerol, 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol, despite activation of TRPC3 by these agents. We did, however, observe a TIRFM response to epidermal growth factor (EGF). This TIRFM response to EGF was accompanied by increased Ba2+ entry and TRPC3 currents. However, 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol-induced TRPC3 activity was not increased. TIRFM also increased in response to Gd3+, a competitive inhibitor of TRPC3 channels. This may be indicative of constitutive trafficking of TRPC3, with Gd3+ acting to "trap" cycling TRPC3 molecules in the plasma membrane. Consistent with this interpretation, TRPC3-expressing cells exhibited large variance in membrane capacitance, and this variance was decreased by both Gd3+ and EGF. These results indicate the following: (i) trafficking of TRPC3 may play a role in regulating the concentration of channels in the plasma membrane but is not involved in activation through the phospholipase C pathway; (ii) TRPC3 undergoes constitutive cyclical trafficking in the plasma membrane, and the mechanism by which growth factors increase the number of plasma membrane channels may involve stabilizing them in the plasma membrane.

Abstract
We have shown that TRPC3 (transient receptor potential channel canonical type 3) is sharply up-regulated during the early part of myotube differentiation and remains elevated in mature myotubes compared with myoblasts. To examine its functional roles in muscle, TRPC3 was "knocked down" in mouse primary skeletal myoblasts using retroviral-delivered small interference RNAs and single cell cloning. TRPC3 knockdown myoblasts (97.6 +/- 1.9% reduction in mRNA) were differentiated into myotubes (TRPC3 KD) and subjected to functional and biochemical assays. By measuring rates of Mn(2+) influx with Fura-2 and Ca(2+) transients with Fluo-4, we found that neither excitation-coupled Ca(2+) entry nor thapsigargin-induced store-operated Ca(2+) entry was significantly altered in TRPC3 KD, indicating that expression of TRPC3 is not required for engaging either Ca(2+) entry mechanism. In Ca(2+) imaging experiments, the gain of excitation-contraction coupling and the amplitude of the Ca(2+) release seen after direct RyR1 activation with caffeine was significantly reduced in TRPC3 KD. The decreased gain appears to be due to a decrease in RyR1 Ca(2+) release channel activity, because sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) content was not different between TRPC3 KD and wild-type myotubes. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that TRPC1, calsequestrin, triadin, and junctophilin 1 were up-regulated (1.46 +/- 1.91-, 1.42 +/- 0.08-, 2.99 +/- 0.32-, and 1.91 +/- 0.26-fold, respectively) in TRPC3 KD. Based on these data, we conclude that expression of TRPC3 is tightly regulated during muscle cell differentiation and propose that functional interaction between TRPC3 and RyR1 may regulate the gain of SR Ca(2+) release independent of SR Ca(2+) load.

Abstract
Receptor-operated Ca2+ entry (ROCE) and store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) are known to be inhibited by tyrosine kinase inhibitors and activation of C-type transient receptor potential channel (TRPC) isoform 3 (TRPC3), a cation channel thought to be involved in SOCE and/or ROCE, was recently shown to depend on src tyrosine kinase activity. What is not known is the step at which src acts on TRPC3 and whether the role for tyrosine kinases in ROCE or SOCE is a general phenomenon. Using in vitro and in cell protein-protein interaction assays we now report that src phosphorylates TRPC3 at Y226 and that formation of phospho-Y226 is essential for TRPC3 activation. This requirement is unique for TRPC3 because (i) mutation of the cognate tyrosines of the closely related TRPC6 and TRPC7 had no effect; (ii) TRPC6 and TRPC7 were activated in src-, yes-, and fyn-deficient cells; and (iii) src, but not yes or fyn, rescued TRPC3 activation in src-, yes-, and fyn-deficient cells. The Src homology 2 domain of src was found to interact with either the N or the C termini of all TRPCs, suggesting that other tyrosine kinases may play a role in ion fluxes mediated by TRPCs other than TRPC3. A side-by-side comparison of the effects of genistein (a general tyrosine kinase inhibitor) on endogenous ROCE and SOCE in mouse fibroblasts, HEK and COS-7 cells, and ROCE in HEK cells mediated by TRPC3, TRPC6, TRPC7, and TRPC5 showed differences that argue for ROCE and SOCE channels to be heterogeneous.

Abstract
It is well established that transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are activated following stimulation of G protein-coupled membrane receptors linked to PLC, but their differential expression in various cells of the renal nephron has not been described. In the present study, immunoprecipitations from rat kidney lysates followed by Western blot analysis using TRPC-specific, affinity-purified antibodies revealed the presence of TRPC1, -C3, and -C6. TRPC4, -C5, and -C7 were nondetectable. TRPC1 immunofluorescence was detected in glomeruli and specific tubular cells of the cortex and outer medulla. TRPC1 colocalized with aquaporin-1, a marker for proximal tubule and thin descending limb, but not with aquaporin-2, a marker for connecting tubule and collecting duct cells. TRPC3 and -C6 immunolabeling was predominantly confined to glomeruli and specific tubular cells of the cortex and both the outer and inner medulla. TRPC3 and -C6 colocalized with aquaporin-2, but not with the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger or peanut lectin. Thus TRPC3 and -C6 proteins are expressed in principle cells of the collecting duct. In polarized cultures of M1 and IMCD-3 collecting duct cells, TRPC3 was localized exclusively to the apical domain, whereas TRPC6 was found in both the basolateral and apical membranes. TRPC3 and TRPC6 were also detected in primary podocyte cultures, whereas TRPC1 was exclusively expressed in mesangial cell cultures. Specific immunopositive labeling for TRPC4, -C5, or -C7 was not observed in kidney sections or cell lines. These results suggest that TRPC1, -C3, and -C6 may play a functional role in PLC-dependent signaling in specific regions of the nephron.

Abstract
TRPC3 plays important roles in neuronal differentiation and immune cell maturation by mediating the cationic current in response to phospholipase C activation, Ca2+ depletion, and diacylglycerol stimulation. Here, we purified the TRPC3 channel using a glycosylated tetramer and observed the structure using electron microscopy. Negatively stained specimens demonstrate homogeneous protein particles containing an internal cavity-like structure. These particle images were picked up by automated pick-up programs, aligned, and classified by the growing neural gas network method. Similarly oriented projections were averaged to decrease the signal-to-noise ratio. The averaged images progress from the top view to the side views, which are representative of their raw images. The top view confirmed the hypothesis of a four-domain structure, and the side view demonstrates a large cytoplasmic domain with a capped structure at the bottom, which is near a predicted locus of ion release. The total image of the protein is a blunt-edged trapezoid of 200 x 200 x 235 A. This large dimension of TRPC3 is also supported by the Stokes radius (92 A) obtained from gel filtration chromatography.

Abstract
The mammalian transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of cation channels can be divided into six major families. Among them, the "classical" or "canonical" TRPC family is most closely related to Drosophila TRP, the founding member of the superfamily. All seven channels of this family designated TRPC1-7 share the common property of activation through phospholipase C (PLC)-coupled receptors, but their gating by receptor- or store-operated mechanisms is still controversial. The TRPC3, 6, and 7 channels are 75% identical and are also gated by direct exposure to diacylglycerols (DAG). TRPC3, 6, and 7 interact physically and, upon coexpression, coassemble to form functional tetrameric channels. This review will focus on the TRPC3/6/7 subfamily and describe their functional properties and regulation as homomers obtained from overexpression studies in cell lines. It will also summarize their heteromultimerization potential in vitro and in vivo and will present preliminary data concerning their physiological functions analyzed in isolated tissues with downregulated channel activity and gene-deficient mouse models.
