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
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are implicated in a wide array of mechanotransduction processes. However, a question remains whether TRP channels directly sense mechanical force, thus acting as primary mechanotransducers. We use several recent examples to demonstrate the difficulty in definitively ascribing mechanosensitivity to TRP channel subfamilies. Ultimately, despite being implicated in an ever-growing list of mechanosignalling events in most cases limited robust or reproducible evidence supports the contention that TRP channels act as primary transducers of mechanical forces. They either (i) possess unique and as yet unspecified structural or local requirements for mechanosensitivity; or (ii) act as mechanoamplifiers responding downstream of the activation of a primary mechanotransducer that could include Ca2+-permeable mechanosensitive (MS) channels or other potentially unidentified mechanosensors.

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.

Abstract
Methylglyoxal (MGO) is an endogenous, highly reactive dicarbonyl metabolite generated under hyperglycaemic conditions. MGO plays a role in developing pathophysiological conditions, including diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, the mechanisms involved and the molecular targets of MGO in the heart have not been elucidated. In this work, we studied the exposure-related effects of MGO on cardiac function in an isolated perfused rat heart ex vivo model. The effect of MGO on calcium homeostasis in cardiomyocytes was studied in vitro by the fluorescence indicator of intracellular calcium Fluo-4. We demonstrated that MGO induced cardiac dysfunction, both in contractility and diastolic function. In rat heart, the effects of MGO treatment were significantly limited by aminoguanidine, a scavenger of MGO, ruthenium red, a general cation channel blocker, and verapamil, an L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel blocker, demonstrating that this dysfunction involved alteration of calcium regulation. MGO induced a significant concentration-dependent increase of intracellular calcium in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, which was limited by aminoguanidine and verapamil. These results suggest that the functionality of various calcium channels is altered by MGO, particularly the L-type calcium channel, thus explaining its cardiac toxicity. Therefore, MGO could participate in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy through its impact on calcium homeostasis in cardiac cells.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a common malignant tumor, whose morbidity and mortality keep the top three in the male-related tumors in developed countries. Abnormal ion channels, such as transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6), are reported to be involved in the carcinogenesis and progress of prostate cancer and have become potential drug targets against prostate cancer. Here, we report a novel small molecule inhibitor of TRPC6, designated as PCC0208057, which can suppress the proliferation and migration of prostate cancer cells in vitro, and inhibit the formation of Human umbilical vein endothelial cells cell lumen. PCC0208057 can effectively inhibit the growth of xenograft tumor in vivo. Molecular mechanism studies revealed that PCC0208057 could directly bind and inhibit the activity of TRPC6, which then induces the prostate cancer cells arrested in G2/M phase via enhancing the phosphorylation of Nuclear Factor of Activated T Cells (NFAT) and Cdc2. Taken together, our study describes for the first time that PCC0208057, a novel TRPC6 inhibitor, might be a promising lead compound for treatment of prostate cancer.

Abstract
TRPV4 channels, which respond to mechanical activation by permeating Ca2+ into the cell, may play a pivotal role in cardiac remodeling during cardiac overload. Our study aimed to investigate TRPV4 involvement in pathological and physiological remodeling through Ca2+-dependent signaling. TRPV4 expression was assessed in heart failure (HF) models, induced by isoproterenol infusion or transverse aortic constriction, and in exercise-induced adaptive remodeling models. The impact of genetic TRPV4 inhibition on HF was studied by echocardiography, histology, gene and protein analysis, arrhythmia inducibility, Ca2+ dynamics, calcineurin (CN) activity, and NFAT nuclear translocation. TRPV4 expression exclusively increased in HF models, strongly correlating with fibrosis. Isoproterenol-administered transgenic TRPV4-/- mice did not exhibit HF features. Cardiac fibroblasts (CFb) from TRPV4+/+ animals, compared to TRPV4-/-, displayed significant TRPV4 overexpression, elevated Ca2+ influx, and enhanced CN/NFATc3 pathway activation. TRPC6 expression paralleled that of TRPV4 in all models, with no increase in TRPV4-/- mice. In cultured CFb, the activation of TRPV4 by GSK1016790A increased TRPC6 expression, which led to enhanced CN/NFATc3 activation through synergistic action of both channels. In conclusion, TRPV4 channels contribute to pathological remodeling by promoting fibrosis and inducing TRPC6 upregulation through the activation of Ca2+-dependent CN/NFATc3 signaling. These results pose TRPV4 as a primary mediator of the pathological response.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death, medical complications, and healthcare costs. Although recent advances have been in treating cardiovascular disorders linked with a reduced ejection fraction, acutely decompensate cardiac failure remains a significant medical problem. The transient receptor potential cation channel (TRPC6) family responds to neurohormonal and mechanical stress, playing critical roles in cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, TRP C6 channels have great promise as therapeutic targets. Numerous studies have investigated the roles of TRP C6 channels in pain neurons, highlighting their significance in cardiovascular research. The TRPC6 protein exhibits a broad distribution in various organs and tissues, including the brain, nerves, heart, blood vessels, lungs, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, and other bodily structures. Its activation can be triggered by alterations in osmotic pressure, mechanical stimulation, and diacylglycerol. Consequently, TRPC6 plays a significant role in the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying diverse diseases within living organisms. A recent study has indicated a strong correlation between the disorder known as TRPC6 and the development of cardiovascular diseases. Consequently, investigations into the association between TRPC6 and cardiovascular diseases have gained significant attention in the scientific community. This review explores the most recent developments in the recognition and characterization of TRPC6. Additionally, it considers the field's prospects while examining how TRPC6 might be altered and its clinical applications.

Abstract
Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) in cardiomyocytes may be involved in cardiac remodeling, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. We hypothesized that SOCE may increase nuclear calcium, which alters gene expression via calcium/calmodulin-dependent enzyme signaling, and elucidated the underlying cellular mechanisms. An experimental protocol was established in isolated adult rat cardiomyocytes to elicit SOCE by re-addition of calcium following complete depletion of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium and to quantify SOCE in relation to the electrically stimulated calcium transient (CaT) measured in the same cell before SR depletion. Using confocal imaging, calcium changes were recorded simultaneously in the cytosol and in the nucleus of the cell. In ventricular myocytes, SOCE was observed in the cytosol and nucleus amounting to ≈15% and ≈25% of the respective CaT. There was a linear correlation between the SOCE-mediated calcium increase in the cytosol and nucleus. Inhibitors of TRPC or Orai channels reduced SOCE by ≈33-67%, whereas detubulation did not. In atrial myocytes, SOCE with similar characteristics was observed in the cytosol and nucleus. However, the SOCE amplitudes in atrial myocytes were ≈two-fold larger than in ventricular myocytes, and this was associated with ≈1.4- to 3.6-fold larger expression of putative SOCE proteins (TRPC1, 3, 6, and STIM1) in atrial tissue. The results indicated that SOCE in atrial and ventricular myocytes is able to cause robust calcium increases in the nucleus and that both TRPC and Orai channels may contribute to SOCE in adult cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Pregnancy and exercise are systemic stressors that promote physiological growth of the heart in response to repetitive volume overload and maintenance of cardiac output. This type of remodeling is distinct from pathological hypertrophy and involves different metabolic mechanisms that facilitate growth; however, it remains unclear how metabolic changes in the heart facilitate growth and if these processes are similar in both pregnancy- and exercise-induced cardiac growth. RECENT FINDINGS The ability of the heart to metabolize a myriad of substrates balances cardiac demands for energy provision and anabolism. During pregnancy, coordination of hormonal status with cardiac reductions in glucose oxidation appears important for physiological growth. During exercise, a reduction in cardiac glucose oxidation also appears important for physiological growth, which could facilitate shuttling of glucose-derived carbons into biosynthetic pathways for growth. Understanding the metabolic underpinnings of physiological cardiac growth could provide insight to optimize cardiovascular health and prevent deleterious remodeling, such as that which occurs from postpartum cardiomyopathy and heart failure. This short review highlights the metabolic mechanisms known to facilitate pregnancy-induced and exercise-induced cardiac growth, both of which require changes in cardiac glucose metabolism for the promotion of growth. In addition, we mention important similarities and differences of physiological cardiac growth in these models as well as discuss current limitations in our understanding of metabolic changes that facilitate growth.

Park DY, Heo W, Kang M, Ahn T, Kim D, Choi A, Birnbaumer L, Cho HJ, Kim JY. Role of TRPC3 in Right Ventricular Dilatation under Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia in 129/SvEv Mice. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:11284. [PMID: 37511045 PMCID: PMC10379021 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241411284] [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: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) exhibit a high prevalence of pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy. However, the exact molecule responsible for the pathogenesis remains unknown. Given the resistance to RV dilation observed in transient receptor potential canonical 3(Trpc3)-/- mice during a pulmonary hypertension model induced by phenylephrine (PE), we hypothesized that TRPC3 also plays a role in chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) conditions, which lead to RV dilation and dysfunction. To test this, we established an OSA mouse model using 8- to 12-week-old 129/SvEv wild-type and Trpc3-/- mice in a customized breeding chamber that simulated sleep and oxygen cycles. Functional parameters of the RV were evaluated through analysis of cardiac cine magnetic resonance images, while histopathological examinations were conducted on cardiomyocytes and pulmonary vessels. Following exposure to 4 weeks of CIH, Trpc3-/- mice exhibited significant RV dysfunction, characterized by decreased ejection fraction, increased end-diastole RV wall thickness, and elevated expression of pathological cardiac markers. In addition, reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling and the endothelin system were markedly increased solely in the hearts of CIH-exposed Trpc3-/- mice. Notably, no significant differences in pulmonary vessel thickness or the endothelin system were observed in the lungs of wild-type (WT) and Trpc3-/- mice subjected to 4 weeks of CIH. In conclusion, our findings suggest that TRPC3 serves as a regulator of RV resistance in response to pressure from the pulmonary vasculature, as evidenced by the high susceptibility to RV dilation in Trpc3-/- mice without notable changes in pulmonary vasculature under CIH conditions.

TRPC channels blockade abolishes endotoxemic cardiac dysfunction by hampering intracellular inflammation and Ca 2+ leakage. Nat Commun 2022; 13:7455.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca2+ dysregulation is a key marker in septic cardiac dysfunction; however, regulation of the classic Ca2+ regulatory modules cannot successfully abolish this symptom. Here we show that the knockout of transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channel isoforms TRPC1 and TRPC6 can ameliorate LPS-challenged heart failure and prolong survival in mice. The LPS-triggered Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum both in cardiomyocytes and macrophages is significantly inhibited by Trpc1 or Trpc6 knockout. Meanwhile, TRPC's molecular partner - calmodulin - is uncoupled during Trpc1 or Trpc6 deficiency and binds to TLR4's Pococurante site and atypical isoleucine-glutamine-like motif to block the inflammation cascade. Blocking the C-terminal CaM/IP3R binding domain in TRPC with chemical inhibitor could obstruct the Ca2+ leak and TLR4-mediated inflammation burst, demonstrating a cardioprotective effect in endotoxemia and polymicrobial sepsis. Our findings provide insight into the pathogenesis of endotoxemic cardiac dysfunction and suggest a novel approach for its treatment.

Cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of syndecan-4 in mice results in activation of calcineurin-NFAT signalling and exacerbated cardiac hypertrophy. Mol Biol Rep 2022; 49:11795-11809.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is a hallmark of cardiac dysfunction in patients with aortic stenosis (AS), and can be triggered by left ventricular (LV) pressure overload in mice by aortic banding (AB). Syndecan-4 is a transmembrane heparan sulphate proteoglycan which is found increased in the myocardium of AS patients and AB mice. The role of syndecan-4 in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is not well understood. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY We developed mice with cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of syndecan-4 (Sdc4-Tg) and subjected these to AB to examine the role of syndecan-4 in hypertrophy and activation of the pro-hypertrophic calcineurin-NFAT signalling pathway. METHODS AND RESULTS Sdc4-Tg mice showed exacerbated cardiac remodelling upon AB compared to wild type (WT). At 2-6 weeks post-AB, Sdc4-Tg and WT mice showed similar hypertrophic growth, while at 20 weeks post-AB, exacerbated hypertrophy and dysfunction were evident in Sdc4-Tg mice. After cross-breeding of Sdc4-Tg mice with NFAT-luciferase reporter mice, we found increased NFAT activation in Sdc4-Tg hearts after AB. Immunoprecipitation showed that calcineurin bound to syndecan-4 in Sdc4-Tg hearts. Isolated cardiomyocytes from Sdc4-Tg mice showed alterations in Ca2+ fluxes, suggesting that syndecan-4 regulated Ca2+ levels, and thereby, activating the syndecan-4-calcineurin complex resulting in NFAT activation and hypertrophic growth. Similarly, primary cardiomyocyte cultures from neonatal rats showed increased calcineurin-NFAT-dependent hypertrophic growth upon viral Sdc4 overexpression. CONCLUSION Our study of mice with cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of Sdc4 have revealed that syndecan-4 is important for activation of the Ca2+-dependent calcineurin-NFAT signalling pathway, hypertrophic remodelling and dysfunction in cardiomyocytes in response to pressure overload.

Abstract
Orai1, the first identified member of the Orai protein family, is ubiquitously expressed in the animal kingdom. Orai1 was initially characterized as the channel responsible for the store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), a major mechanism that allows cytosolic calcium concentration increments upon receptor-mediated IP3 generation, which results in intracellular Ca2+ store depletion. Furthermore, current evidence supports that abnormal Orai1 expression or function underlies several disorders. Orai1 is, together with STIM1, the key element of SOCE, conducting the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) current and, in association with TRPC1, the store-operated Ca2+ (SOC) current. Additionally, Orai1 is involved in non-capacitative pathways, as the arachidonate-regulated or LTC4-regulated Ca2+ channel (ARC/LRC), store-independent Ca2+ influx activated by the secretory pathway Ca2+-ATPase (SPCA2) and the small conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel 3 (SK3). Furthermore, Orai1 possesses two variants, Orai1α and Orai1β, the latter lacking 63 amino acids in the N-terminus as compared to the full-length Orai1α form, which confers distinct features to each variant. Here, we review the current knowledge about the differences between Orai1α and Orai1β, the implications of the Ca2+ signals triggered by each variant, and their downstream modulatory effect within the cell.

Abstract
The canonical transient receptor potential 6 gene, TRPC6, has been implicated as a putative risk gene for chemotherapy-induced congestive heart failure, but knowledge of specific risk variants is lacking. Following our genome-wide association study and subsequent fine-mapping, a rare missense mutant of TRPC6 N338S, was identified in a breast cancer patient who received anthracycline-containing chemotherapy regiments and developed congestive heart failure. However, the function of N338S mutant has not been examined. Using intracellular Ca2+ imaging, patch clamp recording and molecular docking techniques, we assessed the function of N338S mutant heterologously expressed in HEK293 cells and HL-1 cardiac cells. We found that expression of TRPC6 N338S significantly increased intracellular Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) and current densities in response to 50 μM 1-oleoyl 2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG), an activator of TRPC6 channels, compared to those of TRPC6 WT. A 24-h pretreatment with 0.5 μM doxorubicin (DOX) further potentiated the OAG effects on TRPC6 N338S current densities and [Ca2+]i, and these effects were abolished by 1 μM BI-749327, a highly selective TRPC6 inhibitor. Moreover, DOX treatment significantly upregulated the mRNA and protein expressions of TRPC6 N338S, compared to those of TRPC6 WT. Molecular docking and dynamics simulation showed that OAG binds to the pocket constituted by the pore-helix, S5 and S6 domains of TRPC6. However, the N338S mutation strengthened the interaction with OAG, therefore stabilizing the OAG-TRPC6 N338S complex and enhancing OAG binding affinity. Our results indicate that TRPC6 N338S is a gain-of-function mutant that may contribute to DOX-induced cardiotoxicity by increasing Ca2+ influx and [Ca2+]i in cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Right ventricular failure (RVF) is the most important prognostic factor for morbidity and mortality in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or pulmonary hypertension (PH) caused by left heart diseases. However, right ventricle (RV) remodeling is understudied and not targeted by specific therapies. This can be partly explained by the lack of basic knowledge of RV remodeling. Since the physiology and hemodynamic function of the RV differ from those of the left ventricle (LV), the mechanisms of LV dysfunction cannot be generalized to that of the RV, albeit a knowledge of these being helpful to understanding RV remodeling and dysfunction. Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) has recently emerged to participate in the LV cardiomyocyte Ca2+ homeostasis and as a critical player in Ca2+ mishandling in a pathological context. In this paper, we highlight the current knowledge on the SOCE contribution to the LV and RV dysfunctions, as SOCE molecules are present in both compartments. he relative lack of studies on RV dysfunction indicates the necessity of further investigations, a significant challenge over the coming years.

Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy develops in response to increased workload to reduce ventricular wall stress and maintain function and efficiency. Pathological hypertrophy can be adaptive at the beginning. However, if the stimulus persists, it may progress to ventricular chamber dilatation, contractile dysfunction, and heart failure, resulting in poorer outcome and increased social burden. The main pathophysiological mechanisms of pathological hypertrophy are cell death, fibrosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, dysregulation of Ca 2 + -handling proteins, metabolic changes, fetal gene expression reactivation, impaired protein and mitochondrial quality control, altered sarcomere structure, and inadequate angiogenesis. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a condition in which cardiac pathological hypertrophy mainly develop due to insulin resistance and subsequent hyperglycaemia, associated with altered fatty acid metabolism, altered calcium homeostasis and inflammation. In this review, we summarize the underlying molecular mechanisms of pathological hypertrophy development and progression, which can be applied in the development of future novel therapeutic strategies in both reversal and prevention.

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
AIMS Cardiomyocyte Ca2+ homoeostasis is altered with ageing and predisposes the heart to Ca2+ intolerance and arrhythmia. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is an osmotically activated cation channel with expression in cardiomyocytes of the aged heart. The objective of this study was to examine the role of TRPV4 in Ca2+ handling and arrhythmogenesis following ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R), a pathological scenario associated with osmotic stress. METHODS AND RESULTS Cardiomyocyte membrane potential was monitored prior to and following I/R in Langendorff-perfused hearts of Aged (19-28 months) male and female C57BL/6 mice ± TRPV4 inhibition (1 μM HC067047, HC). Diastolic resting membrane potential was similar between Aged and Aged HC at baseline, but following I/R Aged exhibited depolarized diastolic membrane potential vs. Aged HC. The effects of TRPV4 on cardiomyocyte Ca2+ signalling following I/R were examined in isolated hearts of Aged cardiac-specific GCaMP6f mice (±HC) using high-speed confocal fluorescence microscopy, with cardiomyocytes of Aged exhibiting an increased incidence of pro-arrhythmic Ca2+ signalling vs. Aged HC. In the isolated cell environment, cardiomyocytes of Aged responded to sustained hypoosmotic stress (250mOsm) with an increase in Ca2+ transient amplitude (fluo-4) and higher incidence of pro-arrhythmic diastolic Ca2+ signals vs. Aged HC. Intracardiac electrocardiogram measurements in isolated hearts following I/R revealed an increased arrhythmia incidence, an accelerated time to ventricular arrhythmia, and increased arrhythmia score in Aged vs. Aged HC. Aged exhibited depolarized resting membrane potential, increased pro-arrhythmic diastolic Ca2+ signalling, and greater incidence of arrhythmia when compared with Young (3-5 months). CONCLUSION TRPV4 contributes to pro-arrhythmic cardiomyocyte Ca2+ signalling, electrophysiological abnormalities, and ventricular arrhythmia in the aged mouse heart.

Abstract
Transient receptor ion potential (TRP) channels are a cluster of non-selective cation channels present on cell membranes. They are important mediators of sensory signals to regulate cellular functions and signaling pathways. Alterations and dysfunction of these channels could disrupt physiological processes, thus leading to a broad array of disorders, such as cardiovascular, renal and nervous system diseases. These effects position them as potential targets for drug design and treatment. Because TRP channels can mediate processes such as mechanical conduction, osmotic pressure, and oxidative stress, they have been studied in the context of glaucoma. Glaucoma is an irreversible blinding eye disease caused by an intermittent or sustained increase in intraocular pressure (IOP), which results in the apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), optic nerve atrophy and eventually visual field defects. An increasing number of studies have documented that various TRP subfamilies are abundantly expressed in ocular structures, including the cornea, lens, ciliary body (CB), trabecular meshwork (TM) and retina. In alignment with these findings, there is also mounting evidence supporting the potential role of the TRP family in glaucoma progression. Therefore, it is of great interest and clinical significance to gain an increased understanding of these channels, which in turn could shed more light on the identification of new therapeutic targets for glaucoma. Moreover, this role is not understood completely to date, and whether the activation of TRP channels contributes to glaucoma, or instead aggravates progression, needs to be explored. In this manuscript, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of recent research on TRP channels in glaucoma and to suggest novel targets for future therapeutic interventions in glaucoma.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) proteins assemble to form homo- or heterotetrameric, nonselective cation channels permeable to K+, Na+, and Ca2+. TRPC channels are thought to act as complex integrators of physical and chemical environmental stimuli. Although the understanding of essential physiological roles of TRPC channels is incomplete, their implication in various pathological mechanisms and conditions of the nervous system, kidneys, and cardiovascular system in combination with the lack of major adverse effects of TRPC knockout or TRPC channel inhibition is driving the search of TRPC channel modulators as potential therapeutics. Here, we review the most promising small-molecule TRPC channel modulators, the understanding of their mode of action, and their potential in the study and treatment of cardiovascular and metabolic disease.

Abstract
This review presents and analyzes recent scientific findings on the structure, physiology, and neurotransmission mechanisms of transient receptor potential (TRP) and their function in the thermoregulation of mammals. The aim is to better understand the functionality of these receptors and their role in maintaining the temperature of animals, or those susceptible to thermal stress. The majority of peripheral receptors are TRP cation channels formed from transmembrane proteins that function as transductors through changes in the membrane potential. TRP are classified into seven families and two groups. The data gathered for this review include controversial aspects because we do not fully know the mechanisms that operate the opening and closing of the TRP gates. Deductions, however, suggest the intervention of mechanisms related to G protein-coupled receptors, dephosphorylation, and ligands. Several questions emerge from the review as well. For example, the future uses of these data for controlling thermoregulatory disorders and the invitation to researchers to conduct more extensive studies to broaden our understanding of these mechanisms and achieve substantial advances in controlling fever, hyperthermia, and hypothermia.

Abstract
Hyperthyroidism influences the development of cardiac hypertrophy. Transient receptor potential canonical channels (TRPCs) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress are regarded as critical pathways in cardiac hypertrophy. Hence, we aimed to identify the TRPCs associated with ER stress in hyperthyroidism-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Twenty adult Wistar albino male rats were used in the study. The control group was fed with standard food and tap water. The group with hyperthyroidism was also fed with standard rat food, along with tap water that contained 12 mg/L of thyroxine (T4) for 4 weeks. At the end of the fourth week, the serum-free triiodothyronine (T3), T4, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels of the groups were measured. The left ventricle of each rat was used for histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, Western blot, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and total oxidant status (TOS) analysis. As per our results, activating transcription factor 6 (ATF-6), inositol-requiring kinase 1 (IRE-1), and TRPC1, which play a significant role in cardiac hypertrophy caused by hyperthyroidism, showed increased activation. Moreover, TOS and serum-free T3 levels increased, while TAC and TSH levels decreased. With the help of the literature review in our study, we could, for the first time, indicate that the increased activation of ATF-6, IRE-1, and TRPC1-induced deterioration of the Ca2+ ion balance leads to hypertrophy in hyperthyroidism due to heart failure.

Abstract
Calcineurin, also known as PP2B or PPP3, is a member of the PPP family of protein phosphatases that also includes PP1 and PP2A. Together these three phosphatases carryout the majority of dephosphorylation events in the heart. Calcineurin is distinct in that it is activated by the binding of calcium/calmodulin (Ca2+/CaM) and therefore acts as a node for integrating Ca2+ signals with changes in phosphorylation, two fundamental intracellular signaling cascades. In the heart, calcineurin is primarily thought of in the context of pathological cardiac remodeling, acting through the Nuclear Factor of Activated T-cell (NFAT) family of transcription factors. However, calcineurin activity is also essential for normal heart development and homeostasis in the adult heart. Furthermore, it is clear that NFAT-driven changes in transcription are not the only relevant processes initiated by calcineurin in the setting of pathological remodeling. There is a growing appreciation for the diversity of calcineurin substrates that can impact cardiac function as well as the diversity of mechanisms for targeting calcineurin to specific sub-cellular domains in cardiomyocytes and other cardiac cell types. Here, we will review the basics of calcineurin structure, regulation, and function in the context of cardiac biology. Particular attention will be given to: the development of improved tools to identify and validate new calcineurin substrates; recent studies identifying new calcineurin isoforms with unique properties and targeting mechanisms; and the role of calcineurin in cardiac development and regeneration.

Abstract
Store‐operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) machinery, including Orai channels, TRPCs, and STIM1, is key to cellular calcium homeostasis. The following characteristics of mitochondria are involved in the physiological and pathological regulation of cells: mitochondria mediate calcium uptake through calcium uniporters; mitochondria are regulated by mitochondrial dynamic related proteins (OPA1, MFN1/2, and DRP1) and form mitochondrial networks through continuous fission and fusion; mitochondria supply NADH to the electron transport chain through the Krebs cycle to produce ATP; under stress, mitochondria will produce excessive reactive oxygen species to regulate mitochondria‐endoplasmic reticulum interactions and the related signalling pathways. Both SOCE and mitochondria play critical roles in mediating cardiac hypertrophy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and cardiac ischaemia‐reperfusion injury. All the mitochondrial characteristics mentioned above are determinants of SOCE activity, and vice versa. Ca2+ signalling dictates the reciprocal regulation between mitochondria and SOCE under the specific pathological conditions of cardiomyocytes. The coupling of mitochondria and SOCE is essential for various pathophysiological processes in the heart. Herein, we review the research focussing on the reciprocal regulation between mitochondria and SOCE and provide potential interplay patterns in cardiac diseases.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential (TRP) channel superfamily consists of a large group of non-selective cation channels that serve as cellular sensors for a wide spectrum of physical and environmental stimuli. The 28 mammalian TRPs, categorized into six subfamilies, including TRPC (canonical), TRPV (vanilloid), TRPM (melastatin), TRPA (ankyrin), TRPML (mucolipin) and TRPP (polycystin), are widely expressed in different cells and tissues. TRPs exhibit a variety of unique features that not only distinguish them from other superfamilies of ion channels, but also confer diverse physiological functions. Located at the plasma membrane or in the membranes of intracellular organelles, TRPs are the cellular safeguards that sense various cell stresses and environmental stimuli and translate this information into responses at the organismal level. Loss- or gain-of-function mutations of TRPs cause inherited diseases and pathologies in different physiological systems, whereas up- or down-regulation of TRPs is associated with acquired human disorders. In this Cell Science at a Glance article and the accompanying poster, we briefly summarize the history of the discovery of TRPs, their unique features, recent advances in the understanding of TRP activation mechanisms, the structural basis of TRP Ca2+ selectivity and ligand binding, as well as potential roles in mammalian physiology and pathology.

Abstract
Klotho protein affects a number of metabolic pathways essential for pathogenesis of cardio-vascular diseases and their prevention. It inhibits lipid peroxidation and inflammation, as well as prevents endothelial injury and calcification of blood vessels. Klotho decreases rigidity of blood vessels and suppresses development of the heart fibrosis. Low level of its expression is associated with a number of diseases. Cardioprotective effect of klotho is based on its ability to interact with multiple receptors and ion channels. Being a pleiotropic protein, klotho could be a useful target for therapeutic intervention in the treatment of cardio-vascular diseases. In this review we present data on pharmaceuticals that stimulate klotho expression and suggest some promising research directions.

Ca2+ mishandling is a common feature in several cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure (HF). In many cases, impairment of key players in intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis has been identified as the underlying mechanism of cardiac dysfunction and cardiac arrhythmias associated with HF. In this review, we summarize primary novel findings related to Ca2+ mishandling in HF progression. HF research has increasingly focused on the identification of new targets and the contribution of their role in Ca2+ handling to the progression of the disease. Recent research studies have identified potential targets in three major emerging areas implicated in regulation of Ca2+ handling: the innate immune system, bone metabolism factors and post-translational modification of key proteins involved in regulation of Ca2+ handling. Here, we describe their possible contributions to the progression of HF.

Abstract
Pathological left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) occurs in response to pressure overload and remains the single most important clinical predictor of cardiac mortality. The molecular pathways in the induction of pressure overload LVH are potential targets for therapeutic intervention. Current treatments aim to remove the pressure overload stimulus for LVH, but do not completely reverse adverse cardiac remodelling. Although numerous molecular signalling steps in the induction of LVH have been identified, the initial step by which mechanical stretch associated with cardiac pressure overload is converted into a chemical signal that initiates hypertrophic signalling remains unresolved. In this study, we show that selective deletion of transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) channels in mouse cardiomyocytes results in an approximately 50% reduction in the LVH induced by transverse aortic constriction. Our results suggest that TRPM4 channel is an important component of the mechanosensory signalling pathway that induces LVH in response to pressure overload and represents a potential novel therapeutic target for the prevention of pathological LVH.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical channel 6 (TRPC6) has been implicated in many kinds of malignant tumors, but very few potent TRPC6 antagonists are available. In this study, a benzothiazole amide derivative 1a was discovered as a TRPC6 activator in a cell-based high-throughput screening. A series of benzothiazole amide derivatives were designed and synthesized. The docking analyses indicated that the conformations of the compounds bound to TRPC6 determined the agonistic or antagonistic activity of the compounds against TRPC6, and compound 1s with the tetrahydronaphthalene group in R1 position fit well into the binding pocket of the antagonist-bound conformation of TRPC6. Compound 1s showed an inhibitory potency order of TRPC3 (IC50 3.3 ± 0.13 μM) ≈ C6 (IC50 4.2 ± 0.1 μM) > C7 with good anti-gastric cancer activity in a micromolecular range against AGS and MKN-45, respectively. In addition, 1s inhibited the invasion and migration of MKN-45 cells in vitro.

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
Although well documented drug therapies are available for the management of ventricular hypertrophy (VH) and heart failure (HF), most patients nonetheless experience a downhill course, and further therapeutic measures are needed. Nutraceutical, dietary, and lifestyle measures may have particular merit in this regard, as they are currently available, relatively safe and inexpensive, and can lend themselves to primary prevention as well. A consideration of the pathogenic mechanisms underlying the VH/HF syndrome suggests that measures which control oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, that support effective nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide bioactivity, that prevent a reduction in cardiomyocyte pH, and that boost the production of protective hormones, such as fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), while suppressing fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and marinobufagenin, may have utility for preventing and controlling this syndrome. Agents considered in this essay include phycocyanobilin, N-acetylcysteine, lipoic acid, ferulic acid, zinc, selenium, ubiquinol, astaxanthin, melatonin, tauroursodeoxycholic acid, berberine, citrulline, high-dose folate, cocoa flavanols, hawthorn extract, dietary nitrate, high-dose biotin, soy isoflavones, taurine, carnitine, magnesium orotate, EPA-rich fish oil, glycine, and copper. The potential advantages of whole-food plant-based diets, moderation in salt intake, avoidance of phosphate additives, and regular exercise training and sauna sessions are also discussed. There should be considerable scope for the development of functional foods and supplements which make it more convenient and affordable for patients to consume complementary combinations of the agents discussed here. Research Strategy: Key word searching of PubMed was employed to locate the research papers whose findings are cited in this essay.

Abstract
Genetic modification at the molecular level in somatic cells, germline, and animal models requires for different purposes, such as introducing desired mutation, deletion of alleles, and insertion of novel genes in the genome. Various genome-editing tools are available to accomplish these alterations, such as zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR associated (Cas) system. CRISPR-Cas system is an emerging technology, which is being used in biological and medical sciences, including in the cardiovascular field. It assists to identify the mechanism of various cardiovascular disease occurrence, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM). Furthermore, it has been advantages to edit various genes simultaneously and can also be used to treat and prevent several human diseases. This chapter explores the use of the scientific and therapeutic potential of a CRISPR-Cas system to edit the various cardiovascular disease-associated genes to understand the pathways involved in disease progression and treatment.

Cardiac Gq Receptors and Calcineurin Activation Are Not Required for the Hypertrophic Response to Mechanical Left Ventricular Pressure Overload. Front Cell Dev Biol 2021; 9:639509. [PMID: 33659256 PMCID: PMC7917224 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2021.639509] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2020] [Accepted: 01/26/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Rationale Gq-coupled receptors are thought to play a critical role in the induction of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) secondary to pressure overload, although mechano-sensitive channel activation by a variety of mechanisms has also been proposed, and the relative importance of calcineurin- and calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII)-dependent hypertrophic pathways remains controversial. Objective To determine the mechanisms regulating the induction of LVH in response to mechanical pressure overload. Methods and Results Transgenic mice with cardiac-targeted inhibition of Gq-coupled receptors (GqI mice) and their non-transgenic littermates (NTL) were subjected to neurohumoral stimulation (continuous, subcutaneous angiotensin II (AngII) infusion for 14 days) or mechanical pressure overload (transverse aortic arch constriction (TAC) for 21 days) to induce LVH. Candidate signaling pathway activation was examined. As expected, LVH observed in NTL mice with AngII infusion was attenuated in heterozygous (GqI+/-) mice and absent in homozygous (GqI-/-) mice. In contrast, LVH due to TAC was unaltered by either heterozygous or homozygous Gq inhibition. Gene expression of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and α-skeletal actin (α-SA) was increased 48 h after AngII infusion or TAC in NTL mice; in GqI mice, the increases in ANP, BNP and α-SA in response to AngII were completely absent, as expected, but all three increased after TAC. Increased nuclear translocation of nuclear factor of activated T-cells c4 (NFATc4), indicating calcineurin pathway activation, occurred in NTL mice with AngII infusion but not TAC, and was prevented in GqI mice infused with AngII. Nuclear and cytoplasmic CaMKIIδ levels increased in both NTL and GqI mice after TAC but not AngII infusion, with increased cytoplasmic phospho- and total histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) and increased nuclear myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) levels. Conclusion Cardiac Gq receptors and calcineurin activation are required for neurohumorally mediated LVH but not for LVH induced by mechanical pressure overload (TAC). Rather, TAC-induced LVH is associated with activation of the CaMKII-HDAC4-MEF2 pathway.

Abstract
The 3',5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase type I (cGKI aka PKGI) is a major cardiac effector acting downstream of nitric oxide (NO)-sensitive soluble guanylyl cyclase and natriuretic peptides (NPs), which signal through transmembrane guanylyl cyclases. Consistent with the wide distribution of the cGMP-generating guanylyl cyclases, cGKI, which usually elicits its cellular effects by direct phosphorylation of its targets, is present in multiple cardiac cell types including cardiomyocytes (CMs). Although numerous targets of cGMP/cGKI in heart were identified in the past, neither their exact patho-/physiological functions nor cell-type specific roles are clear. Herein, we inform about the current knowledge on the signal transduction downstream of CM cGKI. We believe that better insights into the specific actions of cGMP and cGKI in these cells will help to guide future studies in the search for predictive biomarkers for the response to pharmacological cGMP pathway modulation. In addition, targets downstream of cGMP/cGKI may be exploited for refined and optimized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in different types of heart disease and their causes. Importantly, key functions of these proteins and particularly sites of regulatory phosphorylation by cGKI should, at least in principle, remain intact, although upstream signaling through the second messenger cGMP is impaired or dysregulated in a stressed or diseased heart state.

Abstract
Contraction of the striated muscle is fundamental for human existence. The action of voluntary skeletal muscle enables activities such as breathing, establishing body posture, and diverse body movements. Additionally, highly precise motion empowers communication, artistic expression, and other activities that define everyday human life. The involuntary contraction of striated muscle is the core function of the heart and is essential for blood flow. Several ion channels are important in the transduction of action potentials to cytosolic Ca2+ signals that enable muscle contraction; however, other ion channels are involved in the progression of muscle pathologies that can impair normal life or threaten it. This chapter describes types of selective and nonselective Ca2+ permeable ion channels expressed in the striated muscle, their participation in different aspects of muscle excitation and contraction, and their relevance to the progression of some pathological states.

Abstract
Canonical transient receptor potential channels (TRPC) are involved in receptor-operated and/or store-operated Ca2+ signaling. Inhibition of TRPCs by small molecules was shown to be promising in treating renal diseases. In cells, the channels are regulated by calmodulin (CaM). Molecular details of both CaM and drug binding have remained elusive so far. Here, we report structures of TRPC4 in complex with three pyridazinone-based inhibitors and CaM. The structures reveal that all the inhibitors bind to the same cavity of the voltage-sensing-like domain and allow us to describe how structural changes from the ligand-binding site can be transmitted to the central ion-conducting pore of TRPC4. CaM binds to the rib helix of TRPC4, which results in the ordering of a previously disordered region, fixing the channel in its closed conformation. This represents a novel CaM-induced regulatory mechanism of canonical TRP channels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Local anesthetics, particularly potent long acting ones such as bupivacaine, can cause cardiotoxicity by inhibiting sodium ion channels; however, the impact of left ventricular hypertrophy on the cardiotoxicity and the underlying mechanisms remain undetermined. Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels are upregulated in left ventricular hypertrophy. Some transient receptor potential channel subtypes have been reported to pass relatively large cations, including protonated local anesthetics; this is known as the "pore phenomenon." The authors hypothesized that bupivacaine-induced cardiotoxicity is more severe in left ventricular hypertrophy due to upregulated TRPC channels. METHODS The authors used a modified transverse aortic constriction model as a left ventricular hypertrophy. Cardiotoxicity caused by bupivacaine was compared between sham and aortic constriction male rats, and the underlying mechanisms were investigated by recording sodium ion channel currents and immunocytochemistry of TRPC protein in cardiomyocytes. RESULTS The time to cardiac arrest by bupivacaine was shorter in aortic constriction rats (n =11) than in sham rats (n = 12) (mean ± SD, 1,302 ± 324 s vs. 1,034 ± 211 s; P = 0.030), regardless of its lower plasma concentration. The half-maximal inhibitory concentrations of bupivacaine toward sodium ion currents were 4.5 and 4.3 μM, which decreased to 3.9 and 2.6 μM in sham and aortic constriction rats, respectively, upon coapplication of 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol, a TRPC3 channel activator. In both groups, sodium ion currents were unaffected by QX-314, a positively charged lidocaine derivative, that hardly permeates the cell membrane, but was significantly decreased with QX-314 and 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol coapplication (sham: 79 ± 10% of control; P = 0.004; aortic constriction: 47± 27% of control; P = 0.020; n = 5 cells per group). Effects of 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol were antagonized by a specific TRPC3 channel inhibitor. CONCLUSIONS Left ventricular hypertrophy exacerbated bupivacaine-induced cardiotoxicity, which could be a consequence of the "pore phenomenon" of TRPC3 channels upregulated in left ventricular hypertrophy.

Modelling diastolic dysfunction in induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients. Eur Heart J 2020; 40:3685-3695. [PMID: 31219556 DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehz326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 80] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2018] [Revised: 12/07/2018] [Accepted: 05/14/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is common among hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients, causing major morbidity and mortality. However, its cellular mechanisms are not fully understood, and presently there is no effective treatment. Patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) hold great potential for investigating the mechanisms underlying DD in HCM and as a platform for drug discovery. METHODS AND RESULTS In the present study, beating iPSC-CMs were generated from healthy controls and HCM patients with DD. Micropatterned iPSC-CMs from HCM patients showed impaired diastolic function, as evidenced by prolonged relaxation time, decreased relaxation rate, and shortened diastolic sarcomere length. Ratiometric Ca2+ imaging indicated elevated diastolic [Ca2+]i and abnormal Ca2+ handling in HCM iPSC-CMs, which were exacerbated by β-adrenergic challenge. Combining Ca2+ imaging and traction force microscopy, we observed enhanced myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity (measured as dF/Δ[Ca2+]i) in HCM iPSC-CMs. These results were confirmed with genome-edited isogenic iPSC lines that carry HCM mutations, indicating that cytosolic diastolic Ca2+ overload, slowed [Ca2+]i recycling, and increased myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity, collectively impairing the relaxation of HCM iPSC-CMs. Treatment with partial blockade of Ca2+ or late Na+ current reset diastolic Ca2+ homeostasis, restored diastolic function, and improved long-term survival, suggesting that disturbed Ca2+ signalling is an important cellular pathological mechanism of DD. Further investigation showed increased expression of L-type Ca2+channel (LTCC) and transient receptor potential cation channels (TRPC) in HCM iPSC-CMs compared with control iPSC-CMs, which likely contributed to diastolic [Ca2+]i overload. CONCLUSION In summary, this study recapitulated DD in HCM at the single-cell level, and revealed novel cellular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets of DD using iPSC-CMs.

Abstract
CaV1.2 and transient receptor potential canonical channel 3 (TRPC3) are two proteins known to have important roles in pathological cardiac hypertrophy; however, such roles still remain unclear. A better understanding of these roles is important for furthering the clinical understanding of heart failure. We previously reported that Trpc3-knockout (KO) mice are resistant to pathologic hypertrophy and that their CaV1.2 protein expression is reduced. In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship between these two proteins and characterize their role in neonatal cardiomyocytes. We measured CaV1.2 expression in the hearts of wild-type (WT) and Trpc3-/- mice, and examined the effects of Trpc3 knockdown and overexpression in the rat cell line H9c2. We also compared the hypertrophic responses of neonatal cardiomyocytes cultured from Trpc3-/- mice to a representative hypertrophy-causing drug, isoproterenol (ISO), and measured the activity of nuclear factor of activated T cells 3 (NFAT3) in neonatal cardiomyocytes (NCMCs). We inhibited the L-type current with nifedipine, and measured the intracellular calcium concentration using Fura-2 with 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG)-induced Ba2+ influx. When using the Trpc3-mediated Ca2+ influx, both intracellular calcium concentration and calcium influx were reduced in Trpc3-KO myocytes. Not only was the expression of CaV1.2 greatly reduced in Trpc3-KO cardiac lysate, but the size of the CaV1.2 currents in NCMCs was also greatly reduced. When NCMCs were treated with Trpc3 siRNA, it was confirmed that the expression of CaV1.2 and the intracellular nuclear transfer activity of NFAT decreased. In H9c2 cells, the ISO activated- and verapamil inhibited- Ca2+ influxes were dramatically attenuated by Trpc3 siRNA treatment. In addition, it was confirmed that both the expression of CaV1.2 and the size of H9c2 cells were regulated according to the expression and activation level of TRPC3. We found that after stimulation with ISO, cell hypertrophy occurred in WT myocytes, while the increase in size of Trpc3-KO myocytes was greatly reduced. These results suggest that not only the cell hypertrophy process in neonatal cardiac myocytes and H9c2 cells were regulated according to the expression level of CaV1.2, but also that the expression level of CaV1.2 was regulated by TRPC3 through the activation of NFAT.

Abstract
Increased blood pressure variability (BPV) has been proved to be associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is of great significance to elucidate the mechanism of BPV increase. The cation channel transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6) is involved in a series of cardiovascular disease. Our experiment aimed to explore the role of TRPC6 in the development of BPV increase. Sino-aortic denervation (SAD) operation was applied to establish the model of BPV increase in rats. The BPV was presented as the standard deviation to the mean of systolic or diastolic blood pressure every 1 h during 12 h of the light period. SAD was performed in male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats at the age of 10 weeks. At 8 weeks after SAD operation, the hemodynamic parameters were determined non-invasively via a Rodent Blood Pressure Analysis System. The TRPC6 expressions in myocardial and thoracic aortic tissue was determined utilizing Western Blot, immunofluorescence and quantitative RT-PCR. The expression of TRPC3 was detected as well. To investigate whether TRPC6 was a causative factor of BPV increase in SAD rats, TRPC6 activator and inhibitor with three progressively increasing doses were intraperitoneally injected to the SAD rats. We found that SAD rats presented significant augmentation of systolic and diastolic BPV with no change of BP level and heart rate. The mRNA and protein expression levels of TRPC6 in myocardial and thoracic aortic tissue in SAD rats were substantially increased, but there was no obvious change in TRPC3 expression. The systolic and diastolic BPV increase were dose-dependently exacerbated after TRPC6 activation with GSK1702934A but were dose-dependently attenuated after TRPC6 inhibition with SAR7334. In Conclusion, the TRPC6 (but not TRPC3) expressions in myocardial and thoracic aortic tissue were substantially increased in SAD rats, and TRPC6 probably played an important role in the development of BPV elevation.

Transcriptional signatures regulated by TRPC1/C4-mediated Background Ca 2+ entry after pressure-overload induced cardiac remodelling. PROGRESS IN BIOPHYSICS AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2020; 159:86-104.

Abstract
AIMS After summarizing current concepts for the role of TRPC cation channels in cardiac cells and in processes triggered by mechanical stimuli arising e.g. during pressure overload, we analysed the role of TRPC1 and TRPC4 for background Ca2+ entry (BGCE) and for cardiac pressure overload induced transcriptional remodelling. METHODS AND RESULTS Mn2+-quench analysis in cardiomyocytes from several Trpc-deficient mice revealed that both TRPC1 and TRPC4 are required for BGCE. Electrically-evoked cell shortening of cardiomyocytes from TRPC1/C4-DKO mice was reduced, whereas parameters of cardiac contractility and relaxation assessed in vivo were unaltered. As pathological cardiac remodelling in mice depends on their genetic background, and the development of cardiac remodelling was found to be reduced in TRPC1/C4-DKO mice on a mixed genetic background, we studied TRPC1/C4-DKO mice on a C57BL6/N genetic background. Cardiac hypertrophy was reduced in those mice after chronic isoproterenol infusion (-51.4%) or after one week of transverse aortic constriction (TAC; -73.0%). This last manoeuvre was preceded by changes in the pressure overload induced transcriptional program as analysed by RNA sequencing. Genes encoding specific collagens, the Mef2 target myomaxin and the gene encoding the mechanosensitive channel Piezo2 were up-regulated after TAC in wild type but not in TRPC1/C4-DKO hearts. CONCLUSIONS Deletion of the TRPC1 and TRPC4 channel proteins protects against development of pathological cardiac hypertrophy independently of the genetic background. To determine if the TRPC1/C4-dependent changes in the pressure overload induced alterations in the transcriptional program causally contribute to cardio-protection needs to be elaborated in future studies.

Abstract
The seven-member transient receptor potential canonical genes (TRPC1-7) encode cation channels linked to several human diseases. There is little understanding of the participation of each TRPC in each pathology, considering functional redundancy. Also, most of the inhibitors available are not specific. Thus, we developed mice that lack all of the TRPCs and performed a transcriptome analysis in eight tissues. The aim of this research was to address the impact of the absence of all TRPC channels on gene expression. We obtained a total of 4305 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in at least one tissue where spleen showed the highest number of DEGs (1371). Just 21 genes were modified in all the tissues. Performing a pathway enrichment analysis, we found that many important signaling pathways were modified in more than one tissue, including PI3K (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase-B) signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, extracellular matrix (ECM)-receptor interaction and circadian rhythms. We describe for the first time the changes at the transcriptome level due to the lack of all TRPC proteins in a mouse model and provide a starting point to understand the function of TRPC channels and their possible roles in pathologies.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) proteins form nonselective cation channels that play physiological roles in a wide variety of cells. Despite growing evidence supporting the therapeutic potential of TRPC6 inhibition in treating pathological cardiac and renal conditions, mechanistic understanding of TRPC6 function and modulation remains obscure. Here we report cryo-EM structures of TRPC6 in both antagonist-bound and agonist-bound states. The structures reveal two novel recognition sites for the small-molecule modulators corroborated by mutagenesis data. The antagonist binds to a cytoplasm-facing pocket formed by S1-S4 and the TRP helix, whereas the agonist wedges at the subunit interface between S6 and the pore helix. Conformational changes upon ligand binding illuminate a mechanistic rationale for understanding TRPC6 modulation. Furthermore, structural and mutagenesis analyses suggest several disease-related mutations enhance channel activity by disrupting interfacial interactions. Our results provide principles of drug action that may facilitate future design of small molecules to ameliorate TRPC6-mediated diseases.

Abstract
α-Klotho is a type 1 transmembrane protein that exhibits aging suppression function. The large amino-terminal extracellular domain of α-klotho is shed as soluble klotho (sKlotho) and functions as a circulating cardioprotective hormone. Diacylglycerol (DAG)-activated calcium-permeable TRPC6 channel plays a critical role in stress-induced cardiac remodeling. DAG activates TRPC6 by acting directly on the channel to increase its activity and by stimulation of channel exocytosis. sKlotho protects the heart by inhibiting DAG stimulation of TRPC6 exocytosis. How DAG stimulates TRPC6 exocytosis and thereby inhibition by sKlotho are unknown. Using a compound that directly activates TRPC6 without affecting channel exocytosis, we validate that sKlotho selectively blocks DAG stimulation of channel exocytosis. We further show that DAG stimulates exocytosis of TRPC6-containing vesicles pre-docked to the plasma membrane. Mnuc13 family proteins play important roles in the proper assembly of SNARE proteins and priming the vesicle competent for fusion. We show that DAG stimulates TRPC6 exocytosis by targeting to the C1 domain of Munc13-2. The results provide fresh insights into the molecular mechanism by which DAG regulates vesicle fusion and how sKlotho protects the heart against injury.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6) channels are non-selective cation channels that are thought to underlie mechano-modulation of calcium signaling in cardiomyocytes. TRPC6 channels are involved in development of cardiac hypertrophy and related calcineurin-nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) signaling. However, the exact location and roles of TRPC6 channels remain ill-defined in cardiomyocytes. We used an expression system based on neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) to investigate the location of TRPC6 channels and their role in calcium signaling. NRVMs isolated from 1- to 2-day-old animals were cultured and infected with an adenoviral vector to express enhanced-green fluorescent protein (eGFP) or TRPC6-eGFP. After 3 days, NRVMs were fixed, immunolabeled, and imaged with confocal and super-resolution microscopy to determine TRPC6 localization. Cytosolic calcium transients at 0.5 and 1 Hz pacing rates were recorded in NRVMs using indo-1, a ratio-metric calcium dye. Confocal and super-resolution microscopy suggested that TRPC6-eGFP localized to the sarcolemma. NRVMs infected with TRPC6-eGFP exhibited higher diastolic and systolic cytosolic calcium concentration as well as increased sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium load compared to eGFP infected cells. We applied a computer model comprising sarcolemmal TRPC6 current to explain our experimental findings. Altogether, our studies indicate that TRPC6 channels play a role in sarcolemmal and intracellular calcium signaling in cardiomyocytes. Our findings support the hypothesis that upregulation or activation of TRPC6 channels, e.g., in disease, leads to sustained elevation of the cytosolic calcium concentration, which is thought to activate calcineurin-NFAT signaling and cardiac hypertrophic remodeling. Also, our findings support the hypothesis that mechanosensitivity of TRPC6 channels modulates cytosolic calcium transients and SR calcium load.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels are involved in the regulation of cardiac function under (patho)physiological conditions and are closely associated with the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy, arrhythmias, and myocardial infarction. Understanding the molecular mechanisms and the regulatory pathway/locus of TRPC channels in related heart diseases will provide potential new concepts for designing novel drugs targeting TRPC channels. We will present the properties and regulation of TRPC channels and their roles in the development of various forms of heart disease. This article provides a brief review on the role of TRPC channels in the regulation of myocardial function as well as how TRPC channels may serve as a therapeutic target in heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation.

Exp Eye Res 2020; 193:107980. [PMID: 32088241 DOI: 10.1016/j.exer.2020.107980] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2019] [Revised: 01/13/2020] [Accepted: 02/17/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
The lamina cribrosa (LC) in glaucoma is with augmented production of extracellular matrix proteins (ECM) and connective tissue fibrosis. Fundamental pathological mechanisms for this fibrosis comprise fibrotic growth factors and oxidative stress. Transient receptor potential canonical channels (TRPC) channels play a key role in ECM fibrosis. Here, we study TRPC expression in glaucomatous LC cells, and investigate the role of TRPC in oxidative stress induced-profibrotic ECM gene transcription and cell proliferation in normal LC cells. Age-matched human LC cells (normal, n = 3 donors; glaucoma, n = 3 donors) were used. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, 100 μM), was used to induce oxidative stress in LC cells in the presence or absence of the pan TRPC inhibitor SKF96365 (10 μM) or knockdown of TRPC1/6 with siRNA. After treatments, ECM gene transcription, LC cell viability and proliferation and the phosphorylation of the transcription factor NFATc3, were measured using real time RT-PCR, colorimetric cell counting with the methyl-thiazolyl tetrazolium salt (MTS) assay, and Western immunoblotting, respectively. Results showed that TRPC1/C6 transcript and protein expression levels were significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced in glaucoma LC cells. Both SKF96365 and siRNA-TRPC1/C6 treatments significantly reduced the oxidative stress induced-ECM gene expression (transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ1), alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and collagen type 1A1 (Col1A1)), and cell proliferation in normal and glaucoma LC cells. Also, SKF96365 treatment inhibited the H2O2-induced NFATc3 protein dephosphorylation in LC cells. In conclusion, TRPC1/C6 expression is enhanced in glaucoma LC cells. These channels may contribute to oxidative stress-induced ECM gene transcription and cell proliferation in normal and glaucoma LC cells through Ca2+-NFATc3 signaling pathway mechanism. TRPC1 and TRPC6 channels could be important therapeutic targets to prevent ECM remodeling and fibrosis development in glaucoma optic neuropathy.

Abstract
The heart flexibly changes its structure in response to changing environments and oxygen/nutrition demands of the body. Increased and decreased mechanical loading induces hypertrophy and atrophy of cardiomyocytes, respectively. In physiological conditions, these structural changes of the heart are reversible. However, chronic stresses such as hypertension or cancer cachexia cause irreversible remodeling of the heart, leading to heart failure. Accumulating evidence indicates that calcium dyshomeostasis and aberrant reactive oxygen species production cause pathological heart remodeling. Canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) is a nonselective cation channel subfamily whose multimodal activation or modulation of channel activity play important roles in a plethora of cellular physiology. Roles of TRPC channels in cardiac physiology have been reported in pathological cardiac remodeling. In this review, we summarize recent findings regarding the importance of TRPC channels in flexible cardiac remodeling (i.e., cardiac plasticity) in response to environmental stresses and discuss questions that should be addressed in the near future.
