[PMID: 39007141 PMCID: PMC11239348 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1391355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is a non-selective cation channel that exhibits Ca2+ permeability. The TRPM2 channel is expressed in various tissues and cells and can be activated by multiple factors, including endogenous ligands, Ca2+, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and temperature. This article reviews the multiple roles of the TRPM2 channel in physiological and pathological processes, particularly on oxidative stress, inflammation and ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. In oxidative stress, the excessive influx of Ca2+ caused by the activation of the TRPM2 channel may exacerbate cellular damage. However, under specific conditions, activating the TRPM2 channel can have a protective effect on cells. In inflammation, the activation of the TRPM2 channel may not only promote inflammatory response but also inhibit inflammation by regulating ROS production and bactericidal ability of macrophages and neutrophils. In I/R, the activation of the TRPM2 channel may worsen I/R injury to various organs, including the brain, heart, kidney and liver. However, activating the TRPM2 channel may protect the myocardium from I/R injury by regulating calcium influx and phosphorylating proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2). A thorough investigation of the bidirectional role and regulatory mechanism of the TRPM2 channel in these physiological and pathological processes will aid in identifying new targets and strategies for treatment of related diseases.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is a calcium-permeable, nonselective cation channel with a widespread distribution throughout the body. It is involved in many pathological and physiological processes, making it a potential therapeutic target for various diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and cancers. New analytical techniques are beneficial for gaining a deeper understanding of its involvement in disease pathogenesis and for advancing the drug discovery for TRPM2-related diseases. In this work, we present the application of collision-induced affinity selection mass spectrometry (CIAS-MS) for the direct identification of ligands binding to TRPM2. CIAS-MS circumvents the need for high mass detection typically associated with mass spectrometry of large membrane proteins. Instead, it focuses on the detection of small molecules dissociated from the ligand-protein-detergent complexes. This affinity selection approach consolidates all affinity selection steps within the mass spectrometer, resulting in a streamlined process. We showed the direct identification of a known TRPM2 ligand dissociated from the protein-ligand complex. We demonstrated that CIAS-MS can identify binding ligands from complex mixtures of compounds and screened a compound library against TRPM2. We investigated the impact of voltage increments and ligand concentrations on the dissociation behavior of the binding ligand, revealing a dose-dependent relationship.

Abstract
Ion channels play a crucial role in cellular signaling, homeostasis, and generation of electrical and chemical signals. Aberrant expression and dysregulation of ion channels have been associated with cancer development and resistance to conventional cancer treatment such as chemotherapy. Several molecular mechanisms have been proposed to explain this phenomenon. Including evasion of apoptosis, decreased drug accumulation in cancer cells, detoxifying and activation of alternative escape pathways such as autophagy. Each of these mechanisms leads to a reduction of the therapeutic efficacy of administered drugs, causing more difficulty in cancer treatment. This review highlights the linkages between ion channels and resistance to chemotherapy. Furthermore, it elaborates their molecular mechanisms and the potential of being therapeutic targets in clinical management.

Abstract
Ion channels play a crucial role in a wide range of biological processes, including cell cycle regulation and cancer progression. In particular, the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of channels has emerged as a promising therapeutic target due to its involvement in several stages of cancer development and dissemination. TRP channels are expressed in a large variety of cells and tissues, and by increasing cation intracellular concentration, they monitor mechanical, thermal, and chemical stimuli under physiological and pathological conditions. Some members of the TRP superfamily, namely vanilloid (TRPV), canonical (TRPC), melastatin (TRPM), and ankyrin (TRPA), have been investigated in different types of cancer, including breast, prostate, lung, and colorectal cancer. TRP channels are involved in processes such as cell proliferation, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, and drug resistance, all related to cancer progression. Some TRP channels have been mechanistically associated with the signaling of cancer pain. Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which TRP channels influence cancer provides new opportunities for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies. Selective inhibitors of TRP channels are under initial scrutiny in experimental animals as potential anti-cancer agents. In-depth knowledge of these channels and their regulatory mechanisms may lead to new therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment, providing new perspectives for the development of effective targeted therapies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most common gynecologic malignant cancers with the current survival rate remaining low. TRPM2 has been reported as a survival predictor in various cancers but not in OC. The aim of this study is to explore the role and its underlying mechanism of TRPM2 in OC. METHODS The transcriptome data and clinical data were obtained from TCGA, GTEx, and GEO (GSE17260). DriverDBv3 and PrognoScan were used to analyze survival correlations. GSEA analysis was performed to uncover the underlying mechanism. The correlations between TRPM2 and immune score, immune cell infiltration were analyzed by TIMER2.0. RESULTS TRPM2 was highly expressed in OC and high TRPM2 expression was related to the poor prognosis based on the Kaplan-Meier curves, univariate and multivariate analysis. The enrichment analysis suggested that TRPM2 was involved in immune-related pathways. Positive correlations were also observed between TRPM2 expression and immune score and immune cells covering B cells, T cells, macrophage, neutrophil, and myeloid dendritic cells. We also found that TRPM2 was positively related to immune checkpoints including ICOSLG, CD40, CD86, etc. TRPM2 expression had a positive correlation with M2 macrophage, but not with M1 macrophage. Besides, TRPM2 showed a strong positive correlation with pyroptosis-related genes including NLRP3, NLRC4, NOD2, NOD1, IL1B, GSDMD. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that TRPM2 is a poor prognostic prediction factor in ovarian cancer and is correlated to the immune microenvironment and pyroptosis. TRPM2 may act as a new immunotherapy target, which promoted the survival rate of OC patients.

Abstract
TRPM2 is a versatile and essential signaling molecule that plays diverse roles in Ca2+ homeostasis and oxidative stress signaling, with implications in various diseases. Research evidence has shown that TRPM2 is a promising therapeutic target. However, the decision of whether to activate or inhibit TRPM2 function depends on the context and specific disease. A deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing TRPM2 activation and regulation could pave the way for the development of innovative therapeutics targeting TRPM2 to treat a broad range of diseases. In this review, we examine the structural and biophysical details of TRPM2, its involvement in neurological and cardiovascular diseases, and its role in inflammation and immune system function. In addition, we provide a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge of TRPM2 signaling pathways in cancer, including its functions in bioenergetics, oxidant defense, autophagy, and response to anticancer drugs.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential melastatin subfamily member 2 (TRPM2), a thermo and reactive oxygen species (ROS) sensitive Ca2+-permeable cation channel has a vital role in surviving the cell as well as defending the adaptability of various cell groups during and after oxidative stress. It shows higher expression in several cancers involving breast, pancreatic, prostate, melanoma, leukemia, and neuroblastoma, indicating it raises the survivability of cancerous cells. In various cancers including gastric cancers, and neuroblastoma, TRPM2 is known to conserve viability, and several underlying mechanisms of action have been proposed. Transcription factors are thought to activate TRPM2 channels, which is essential for cell proliferation and survival. In normal physiological conditions with an optimal expression of TRPM2, mitochondrial ROS is produced in optimal amounts while regulation of antioxidant expression is carried on. Depletion of TRPM2 overexpression or activity has been shown to improve ischemia-reperfusion injury in organ levels, reduce tumor growth and/or viability of various malignant cancers like breast, gastric, pancreatic, prostate, head and neck cancers, melanoma, neuroblastoma, T-cell and acute myelogenous leukemia. This updated and comprehensive review also analyzes the mechanisms by which TRPM2-mediated Ca2+ signaling can regulate the growth and survival of different types of cancer cells. Based on the discussion of the available data, it can be concluded that TRPM2 may be a unique therapeutic target in the treatment of several types of cancer. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Mitochondria are closely related to oxidative stress and play an important role in maintaining cell functional homeostasis and meeting cell energy demand. The transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) channel affects the occurrence and progression of diseases by regulating mitochondrial function. TRPM2 channel promotes Ca2+ influx to affect 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), reactive oxygen species (ROS), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, and mitochondrial autophagy. The mechanism of Ca2+ influx into the mitochondria by TRPM2 is abundant. Interestingly, the TRPM2 channel inhibits the production of mitochondrial ROS in cancer cells and promotes the production of mitochondrial ROS in normal cells, which induces cell death in normal cells but proliferation in cancer cells. TRPM2 can be a potential target for the treatment of various diseases due to its role as a molecular link between mitochondria and Ca2+ signals.

Abstract
The transient melastatin receptor potential (TRPM) ion channel subfamily functions as cellular sensors and transducers of critical biological signal pathways by regulating ion homeostasis. Some members of TRPM have been cloned from cancerous tissues, and their abnormal expressions in various solid malignancies have been correlated with cancer cell growth, survival, or death. Recent evidence also highlights the mechanisms underlying the role of TRPMs in tumor epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), autophagy, and cancer metabolic reprogramming. These implications support TRPM channels as potential molecular targets and their modulation as an innovative therapeutic approach against cancer. Here, we discuss the general characteristics of the different TRPMs, focusing on current knowledge about the connection between TRPM channels and critical features of cancer. We also cover TRPM modulators used as pharmaceutical tools in biological trials and an indication of the only clinical trial with a TRPM modulator about cancer. To conclude, the authors describe the prospects for TRPM channels in oncology.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential channel TRPM2 is highly expressed in many cancers and involved in regulation of key physiological processes including mitochondrial function, bioenergetics, and oxidative stress. In Stage 4 non-MYCN amplified neuroblastoma patients, high TRPM2 expression is associated with worse outcome. Here, neuroblastoma cells with high TRPM2 expression demonstrated increased migration and invasion capability. RNA sequencing, RT-qPCR, and Western blotting demonstrated that the mechanism involved significantly greater expression of integrins α1, αv, β1, and β5 in cells with high TRPM2 expression. Transcription factors HIF-1α, E2F1, and FOXM1, which bind promoter/enhancer regions of these integrins, were increased in cells with high TRPM2 expression. Subcellular fractionation confirmed high levels of α1, αv, and β1 membrane localization and co-immunoprecipitation confirmed the presence of α1β1, αvβ1, and αvβ5 complexes. Inhibitors of α1β1, αvβ1, and αvβ5 complexes significantly reduced migration and invasion in cells highly expressing TRPM2, confirming their functional role. Increased pAktSer473 and pERKThr202/Tyr204, which promote migration through mechanisms including integrin activation, were found in cells highly expressing TRPM2. TRPM2 promotes migration and invasion in neuroblastoma cells with high TRPM2 expression through modulation of integrins together with enhancing cell survival, negatively affecting patient outcome and providing rationale for TRPM2 inhibition in anti-neoplastic therapy.

Abstract
The CRISPR/Cas9 system enables a versatile set of genomes editing and genetic-based disease modeling tools due to its high specificity, efficiency, and accessible design and implementation. In cancer, the CRISPR/Cas9 system has been used to characterize genes and explore different mechanisms implicated in tumorigenesis. Different experimental strategies have been proposed in recent years, showing dependency on various intrinsic factors such as cancer type, gene function, mutation type, and technical approaches such as cell line, Cas9 expression, and transfection options. However, the successful methodological approaches, genes, and other experimental factors have not been analyzed. We, therefore, initially considered more than 1,300 research articles related to CRISPR/Cas9 in cancer to finally examine more than 400 full-text research publications. We summarize findings regarding target genes, RNA guide designs, cloning, Cas9 delivery systems, cell enrichment, and experimental validations. This analysis provides valuable information and guidance for future cancer gene validation experiments.

Paclitaxel Promotes Oxidative Stress-Mediated Human Laryngeal Squamous Tumor Cell Death through the Stimulation of Calcium and Zinc Signaling Pathways: No Synergic Action of Melatonin. Biol Trace Elem Res 2022; 200:2084-2098.

Abstract
The paclitaxel (PAX) and melatonin (MLT)-mediated mitochondria reactive free oxygen radical (miROS) generations via the influx of excessive Ca2+ and Zn2+ induce tumor cell death and apoptosis. However, a presence of resistance was demonstrated against the PAX treatment in the tumor cells. The stimulation of TRPM2 may increase the anticancer action of PAX after the treatment of MLT. We investigated the stimulating role of PAX with/without MLT on the excessive Ca2+ influx and miROS generation-mediated human laryngeal squamous cancer (Hep2) cell death through the stimulation of TRPM2. The Hep2 cells were divided into four groups as control, MLT (1 mM for 2 h), PAX (50 μM for 24 h), and PAX + MLT. In some experiments, we induced additional subgroups such as PAX+ACA and PAX+2APB. The stimulation of TRPM2 induced the increase of TRPM2 current densities, lipid peroxidation, cytosolic ROS, miROS, cytosolic Ca2+, and Zn2+ values in the Hep2 cells after the treatment of PAX, although their values were decreased by the treatment of MLT and TRPM2 antagonists (ACA and 2APB). In addition, the PAX induced apoptosis and cell death via upregulation of caspases and downregulation of antioxidant glutathione peroxidase and glutathione in the cells. The treatment of PAX increased protein band expression values of TRPM2, PARP-1, and caspase 3 and 9 in the Hep2. The increased expression, apoptotic, and cell death values were not affected by the treatment of MLT. In conclusion, PAX induced the increase of Hep2 cell death via upregulations of TRPM2 and Zn2+, although its downregulation via the treatment of MLT did not change the antitumor action of PAX.

The human ion channel TRPM2 modulates cell survival in neuroblastoma through E2F1 and FOXM1. Sci Rep 2022; 12:6311. [PMID: 35428820 PMCID: PMC9012789 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-10385-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 04/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Transient receptor potential channel melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is highly expressed in cancer and has an essential function in preserving viability through maintenance of mitochondrial function and antioxidant response. Here, the role of TRPM2 in cell survival was examined in neuroblastoma cells with TRPM2 deletion with CRISPR technology. Viability was significantly decreased in TRPM2 knockout after doxorubicin treatment. RNA sequence analysis and RT-qPCR revealed reduced RNAs encoding master transcription regulators FOXM1 and E2F1/2 and downstream cell cycle targets including Cyclin B1, CDK1, PLK1, and CKS1. CHIP analysis demonstrated decreased FOXM1 binding to their promoters. Western blotting confirmed decreased expression, and increased expression of CDK inhibitor p21, a CKS1 target. In cells with TRPM2 deletion, cell cycle progression to S and G2/M phases was reduced after treatment with doxorubicin. RNA sequencing also identified decreased DNA repair proteins in cells with TRPM2 deletion after doxorubicin treatment, and DNA damage was increased. Wild type TRPM2, but not Ca2+-impermeable mutant E960D, restored live cell number and reconstituted expression of E2F1, FOXM1, and cell cycle/DNA repair proteins. FOXM1 expression alone restored viability. TRPM2 is a potential therapeutic target to reduce tumor proliferation and increase doxorubicin sensitivity through modulation of FOXM1, E2F1, and cell cycle/DNA repair proteins.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are one primary type of calcium (Ca2+) permeable channels, and those relevant transmembrane and intracellular TRP channels were previously thought to be mainly associated with the regulation of cardiovascular and neuronal systems. Nowadays, however, accumulating evidence shows that those TRP channels are also responsible for tumorigenesis and progression, inducing tumor invasion and metastasis. However, the overall underlying mechanisms and possible signaling transduction pathways that TRP channels in malignant tumors might still remain elusive. Therefore, in this review, we focus on the linkage between TRP channels and the significant characteristics of tumors such as multi-drug resistance (MDR), metastasis, apoptosis, proliferation, immune surveillance evasion, and the alterations of relevant tumor micro-environment. Moreover, we also have discussed the expression of relevant TRP channels in various forms of cancer and the relevant inhibitors' efficacy. The chemo-sensitivity of the anti-cancer drugs of various acting mechanisms and the potential clinical applications are also presented. Furthermore, it would be enlightening to provide possible novel therapeutic approaches to counteract malignant tumors regarding the intervention of calcium channels of this type.

Abstract
The overload cytosolic free Ca2+ (cCa2+) influx-mediated excessive generation of oxidative stress in the pathophysiological conditions induces neuronal and cellular injury via the activation of cation channels. TRPM2 and TRPV4 channels are activated by oxidative stress, and their specific antagonists have not been discovered yet. The antioxidant and anti-Covid-19 properties of carvacrol (CARV) were recently reported. Hence, I suspected possible antagonist properties of CARV against oxidative stress (OS)/ADP-ribose (ADPR)-induced TRPM2 and GSK1016790A (GSK)-mediated TRPV4 activations in neuronal and kidney cells. I investigated the antagonist role of CARV on the activations of TRPM2 and TRPV4 in SH-SY5Y neuronal, BV-2 microglial, and HEK293 cells. The OS/ADPR and GSK in the cells caused to increase of TRPM2/TRPV4 current densities and overload cytosolic free Ca2+ (cCa2+) influx with an increase of mitochondrial membrane potential, cytosolic (cROS), and mitochondrial (mROS) ROS. The changes were not observed in the absence of TRPM2 and TRPV4 or the presence of Ca2+ free extracellular buffer and PARP-1 inhibitors (PJ34 and DPQ). When OS-induced TRPM2 and GSK-induced TRPV4 activations were inhibited by the treatment of CARV, the increase of cROS, mROS, lipid peroxidation, apoptosis, cell death, cCa2+ concentration, caspase -3, and caspase -9 levels were restored via upregulation of glutathione and glutathione peroxidase. In conclusion, the treatment of CARV modulated the TRPM2 and TRPV4-mediated overload Ca2+ influx and may provide an avenue for protecting TRPM2 and TRPV4-mediated neurodegenerative diseases associated with the increase of mROS and cCa2+. The possible TRPM2 and TRPV4 blocker action of carvacrol (CARV) via the modulation oxidative stress and apoptosis in the SH-SY5Y neuronal cells. TRPM2 is activated by DNA damage-induced (via PARP-1 activation) ADP-ribose (ADPR) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) (H2O2), although it is inhibited by nonspecific inhibitors (ACA and 2-APB). TRPV4 is activated by the treatments of GSK1016790A (GSK), although it is inhibited by a nonspecific inhibitor (ruthenium red, RuRe). The treatment of GSK induces excessive generation of ROS. The accumulation of free cytosolic Ca2+ (cCa2+) via the activations of TRPM2 and TRPV4 in the mitochondria causes the increase of mitochondrial membrane depolarization (ΔΨm). In turn, the increase of ΔΨm causes the excessive generation of ROS. The TRPM2 and TRPV4-induced the excessive generations of ROS result in the increase of apoptosis and cell death via the activations of caspase -3 (Casp-3) and caspase -9 (Casp-9) in the neuronal cells, although their oxidant actions decrease the glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) levels. The oxidant and apoptotic adverse actions of TRPM2 and TRPV4 are modulated by the treatment of CARV.

Abstract
Over 90% of deaths in cancer patients are attributed to tumor drug resistance. Resistance to therapeutic agents can be due to an innate property of cancer cells or can be acquired during chemotherapy. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that regulation of membrane ion channels is an important mechanism in the development of chemoresistance. Here, we review the contribution of ion channels in drug resistance of various types of cancers, evaluating their potential in clinical management. Several molecular mechanisms have been proposed, including evasion of apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, decreased drug accumulation in cancer cells, and activation of alternative escape pathways such as autophagy. Each of these mechanisms leads to a reduction of the therapeutic efficacy of administered drugs, causing more difficulty in cancer treatment. Thus, targeting ion channels might represent a good option for adjuvant therapies in order to counteract chemoresistance development.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) channel is associated with ischemia/reperfusion injury, inflammation, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the lack of specific inhibitors impedes the development of TRPM2 targeted therapeutic agents. To develop a selective TRPM2 inhibitor, three-dimensional similarity-based screening strategy was employed using the energy-minimized conformation of non-selective TRPM2 inhibitor 2-APB as the query structure, which resulted in the discovery of a novel tricyclic TRPM2 inhibitor Z-4 with benzo[d]imidazo[1,2-a]imidazole skeleton. A series of Z-4 derivatives were subsequently synthesized and evaluated using calcium imaging and electrophysiology approaches. Among them, preferred compounds ZA10 and ZA18 inhibited the TRPM2 channel with micromolar half-maximal inhibitory concentration values and exhibited TRPM2 selectivity over the TRPM8 channel, TRPV1 channel, InsP3 receptor and Orai channel. The analysis of structure-activity relationship provides valuable insights for further development of selective TRPM2 inhibitors. Neuroprotection assay showed that ZA10 and ZA18 could effectively reduce the mortality of SH-SY5Y cells induced by H2O2. These findings enrich the structure types of existing TRPM2 inhibitors and might provide a new tool for the study of TRPM2 function in Reactive oxygen species (ROS) -related diseases.

Abstract
The hypoxia (HYPX)-mediated excessive generation of mitochondrial free reactive oxygen species (mROS) and the overload Ca2+ influx via the inhibition of TRPV4 are controlled by the treatment of antioxidants. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying melatonin (MLT)'s neuroprotection remains elusive. We investigated the role of MLT via modulation of TRPV4 on oxidative neurodegeneration and death in SH-SY5Y neuronal cells. The SH-SY5Y cells were divided into five groups as follows: control, MLT (1 mM for 2 h), HYPX (200 μM CoCl2 for 24 h), HYPX + MLT, and HYPX + TRPV4 blockers (ruthenium red-1 μM for 30 min). The HYPX caused to the increase of TRPV4 current density and overload Ca2+ influx with an increase of mitochondrial membrane potential and mROS generation. The changes were not observed in the absence of TRPV4. When HYPX exposure and TRPV4 agonist (GSK1016790A)-induced TRPV4 activity were inhibited by the treatment of ruthenium red or MLT, the increase of mROS, lipid peroxidation, apoptosis, Zn2+ concentrations, TRPV4, caspase -3, caspase -9, Bax, and Bcl-2 expressions were restored via upregulation of reduced glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, and total antioxidant status. The levels of apoptosis and cell death in the cells were enriched with increases of caspase -3 and -9 activations, although they were decreased by MLT treatment. In conclusion, the treatment of MLT modulates HYPX-mediated mROS, apoptosis, and TRPV4-mediated overload Ca2+ influx and may provide an avenue for protecting HYPX-mediated neurological diseases associated with the increase of mROS, Ca2+, and Zn2+ concentration.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM) channels are members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, a family of evolutionarily conserved integral membrane proteins. TRPM channels are nonselective cation channels, mediating the influx of various ions including Ca2+, Na+ and Zn2+. The function of TRPM channels is vital for cell proliferation, cell development and cell death. Cell death is a key procedure during embryonic development, organism homeostasis, aging and disease. The category of cell death modalities, beyond the traditionally defined concepts of necrosis, autophagy, and apoptosis, were extended with the discovery of pyroptosis, necroptosis and ferroptosis. As upstream signaling regulators of cell death, TRPM channels have been involved inrelevant pathologies. In this review, we introduced several cell death modalities, then summarized the contribution of TRPM channels (especially TRPM2 and TRPM7) to different cell death modalities and discussed the underlying regulatory mechanisms. Our work highlighted the possibility of TRPM channels as potential therapeutic targets in cell death-related diseases.

Abstract
Host defenses in the brain are modulated by the activation of several factors such as oxygen free radical species (ROS), Ca2+ influx, and TRPM2 activation, and they are well-known adverse factors in neurotoxicity and neurodegenerative diseases. Importantly, recent data indicated a protective action of curcumin (CRC) via inhibition of TRPM2 on the inflammation factors, ROS, and apoptosis in hypoxia-induced SH-SY5Y neuronal cells. However, the relationship between interferon gamma (IFNg) exposure and TRPM2 activation in the SH-SY5Y cells are not fully identified. The SH-SY5Y cells as a neuronal cell line model were used in several neuroinflammation studies. Hence, we used the SH-SY5Y cells in the current study, and they were divided into four main groups as control, CRC, IFNg, and IFNg+CRC. The data presented here indicate that IFNg induced excessive Ca2+ influx via activation of TRPM2. The IFNg treatment further increased cell death, cell debris amount, apoptosis, and cytokine generations (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) which were due to increased cytosolic and mitochondrial ROS generations as well as increased activations of caspase-3 and caspase-9. The expression levels of TRPM2, PARP-1, Bax, caspase-3, and caspase-9 were increased in the cells by the IFNg treatment. However, CRC treatment reduced the increase of expression levels, cytokine generations, caspase activations, ROS release, Ca2+ influx, cell death, and apoptosis levels via inhibition of TRPM2 in the SH-SY5Y cells that were treated with IFNg. Moreover, the treatment of TRPM2 blockers (ACA and 2-APB) potentiated the modulator effects of CRC. In conclusion, these results suggest that neuroinflammation via IFNg lead to the TRPM2 activation in the SH-SY5Y cells, whereas CRC prevents IFNg-mediated TRPM2 activation, cell death, and cytokine generations.

Abstract
The microtubule-associated protein (MAP) TAU is mainly sorted into the axon of healthy brain neurons. Somatodendritic missorting of TAU is a pathological hallmark of many neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Cause, consequence and (patho)physiological mechanisms of TAU sorting and missorting are understudied, in part also because of the lack of readily available human neuronal model systems. The human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y is widely used for studying TAU physiology and TAU-related pathology in AD and related tauopathies. SH-SY5Y cells can be differentiated into neuron-like cells (SH-SY5Y-derived neurons) using various substances. This review evaluates whether SH-SY5Y-derived neurons are a suitable model for (i) investigating intracellular TAU sorting in general, and (ii) with respect to neuron subtype-specific TAU vulnerability. (I) SH-SY5Y-derived neurons show pronounced axodendritic polarity, high levels of axonally localized TAU protein, expression of all six human brain isoforms and TAU phosphorylation similar to the human brain. As SH-SY5Y cells are highly proliferative and readily accessible for genetic engineering, stable transgene integration and leading-edge genome editing are feasible. (II) SH-SY5Y-derived neurons display features of subcortical neurons early affected in many tauopathies. This allows analyzing brain region-specific differences in TAU physiology, also in the context of differential vulnerability to TAU pathology. However, several limitations should be considered when using SH-SY5Y-derived neurons, e.g., the lack of clearly defined neuronal subtypes, or the difficulty of mimicking age-related tauopathy risk factors in vitro. In brief, this review discusses the suitability of SH-SY5Y-derived neurons for investigating TAU (mis)sorting mechanisms and neuron-specific TAU vulnerability in disease paradigms.

Abstract
Manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD2) is a key enzyme to scavenge free radical superoxide in the mitochondrion. SOD2 deficiency leads to oxidative injury in cells. Bupivacaine, a local anesthetic commonly used in clinic, could induce neurotoxic injury via oxidative stress. The role and the mechanism of SOD2 regulation in bupivacaine-induced oxidative stress remains unclear. Here, bupivacaine was used to treat Sprague-Dawley rats with intrathecal injection and culture human neuroblastoma cells for developing vivo injury model and vitro injury model. The results showed that bupivacaine caused the over-production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), the activation of C-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and the elevation of SOD2 transcription. Decrease of mtROS with N-acetyl-L-cysteine attenuated the activation of JNK and the increase of SOD2 transcription. Inhibition of JNK signaling with a small interfering RNA (siRNA) or with sp600125 down-regulated the increase of SOD2 transcription. SOD2 gene knock-down exacerbated bupivacaine-induced mtROS generation and neurotoxic injury but had no effect on JNK phosphorylation. Mito-TEMPO (a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant) could protect neuron against bupivacaine-induced toxic injury. Collectively, our results confirm that mtROS stimulates the transcription of SOD2 via activating JNK signaling in bupivacaine-induced oxidative stress. Enhancing antioxidant ability of SOD2 might be crucial in combating bupivacaine-induced neurotoxic injury.

Armağan HH, Nazıroğlu M. Curcumin Attenuates Hypoxia-Induced Oxidative Neurotoxicity, Apoptosis, Calcium, and Zinc Ion Influxes in a Neuronal Cell Line: Involvement of TRPM2 Channel. Neurotox Res 2020; 39:618-633. [PMID: 33211286 DOI: 10.1007/s12640-020-00314-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2020] [Revised: 11/08/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Apoptosis/cell death and reactive oxygen species (ROS) via overload free Ca2+ and Zn2+ uptake into mitochondria are emerging as crucial events in the etiology of hypoxia (HPX)-induced neurodegenerative diseases. The neuroprotective actions of curcumin (CURC) via modulation of oxidative stress and the PARP1-dependent activated TRPM2 cation channel on the ROS generation and cell death in several neurons have been recognized. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying CURC's neuroprotection remain elusive. We investigated the role of CURC via modulation of TRPM2 on cell death and oxidative cytotoxicity in SH-SY5Y neuronal cells. The SH-SY5Y cells were divided into five groups as follows: CURC (10 µM for 24 h), HPX (200 µM CoCl2 for 24 h), CURC + HPX, and HPX + TRPM2 blockers (2-APB-100 µM or ACA-25 µM for 30 min). In some experiments, the cells in the HPX groups were additionally incubated with PARP1 (PJ34) and Zn2+ (TPEN) inhibitors. The exposure of CoCl2 induced increases of TRPM2 current density and Ca2+ fluorescence intensity with an increase of mitochondrial membrane depolarization and ROS generation. When HPX-induced TRPM2 activity was blocked by 2-APB and ACA, or the cells were treated with CURC, the increase of ROS generation, the expression levels of TRPM2 and PARP1 were restored. The levels of apoptosis and cell death in the cells were enriched with increases of caspase-3 and -9 activations, although they were decreased by CURC treatment. HPX-induced increase of cytosolic Zn2+ was attenuated by the TPEN and CURC treatments. In conclusion, CURC attenuates HPX-induced mitochondrial ROS generation, apoptosis, cell death, and TRPM2-mediated Ca2+ signaling and may provide an avenue for treating HPX-induced neurological diseases associated with the ROS, Ca2+, and Zn2+.

Abstract
Calcium ion (Ca2+) signaling is critical to many physiological processes, and its kinetics and subcellular localization are tightly regulated in all cell types. All Ca2+ flux perturbations impact cell function and may contribute to various diseases, including cancer. Several modulators of Ca2+ signaling are attractive pharmacological targets due to their accessibility at the plasma membrane. Despite this, the number of specific inhibitors is still limited, and to date there are no anticancer drugs in the clinic that target Ca2+ signaling. Ca2+ dynamics are impacted, in part, by modifications of cellular metabolic pathways. Conversely, it is well established that Ca2+ regulates cellular bioenergetics by allosterically activating key metabolic enzymes and metabolite shuttles or indirectly by modulating signaling cascades. A coordinated interplay between Ca2+ and metabolism is essential in maintaining cellular homeostasis. In this review, we provide a snapshot of the reciprocal interaction between Ca2+ and metabolism and discuss the potential consequences of this interplay in cancer cells. We highlight the contribution of Ca2+ to the metabolic reprogramming observed in cancer. We also describe how the metabolic adaptation of cancer cells influences this crosstalk to regulate protumorigenic signaling pathways. We suggest that the dual targeting of these processes might provide unprecedented opportunities for anticancer strategies. Interestingly, promising evidence for the synergistic effects of antimetabolites and Ca2+-modulating agents is emerging.

Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential cofactor for redox enzymes, but also moonlights as a regulator for ion channels, the same as its metabolites. Ca2+ homeostasis is dysregulated in cancer cells and affects processes such as tumorigenesis, angiogenesis, autophagy, progression, and metastasis. Herein, we summarize the regulation of the most common calcium channels (TRPM2, TPCs, RyRs, and TRPML1) by NAD+ and its metabolites, with a particular focus on their roles in cancers. Although the mechanisms of NAD+ metabolites in these pathological processes are yet to be clearly elucidated, these ion channels are emerging as potential candidates of alternative targets for anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Environmental signals act primarily on physiological systems, which then influence higher-level functions such as movement patterns and population dynamics. Increases in average temperature and temperature variability associated with global climate change are likely to have strong effects on fish physiology and thereby on populations and fisheries. Here we review the principal mechanisms that transduce temperature signals and the physiological responses to those signals in fish. Temperature has a direct, thermodynamic effect on biochemical reaction rates. Nonetheless, plastic responses to longer-term thermal signals mean that fishes can modulate their acute thermal responses to compensate at least partially for thermodynamic effects. Energetics are particularly relevant for growth and movement, and therefore for fisheries, and temperature can have pronounced effects on energy metabolism. All energy (ATP) production is ultimately linked to mitochondria, and temperature has pronounced effects on mitochondrial efficiency and maximal capacities. Mitochondria are dependent on oxygen as the ultimate electron acceptor so that cardiovascular function and oxygen delivery link environmental inputs with energy metabolism. Growth efficiency, that is the conversion of food into tissue, changes with temperature, and there are indications that warmer water leads to decreased conversion efficiencies. Moreover, movement and migration of fish relies on muscle function, which is partially dependent on ATP production but also on intracellular calcium cycling within the myocyte. Neuroendocrine processes link environmental signals to regulated responses at the level of different tissues, including muscle. These physiological processes within individuals can scale up to population responses to climate change. A mechanistic understanding of thermal responses is essential to predict the vulnerability of species and populations to climate change.

Abstract
The expression and function of many ion channels and transporters in cancer cells display major differences in comparison to those from healthy cells. These differences provide the cancer cells with advantages for tumor development. Accordingly, targeting ion channels and transporters have beneficial anticancer effects including inhibition of cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion, metastasis, tumor vascularization, and chemotherapy resistance, as well as promoting apoptosis. Some of the molecular mechanisms associating ion channels and transporters with cancer include the participation of oxidative stress, immune response, metabolic pathways, drug synergism, as well as noncanonical functions of ion channels. This diversity of mechanisms offers an exciting possibility to suggest novel and more effective therapeutic approaches to fight cancer. Here, we review and discuss most of the current knowledge suggesting novel therapeutic approaches for cancer therapy targeting ion channels and transporters. The role and regulation of ion channels and transporters in cancer provide a plethora of exceptional opportunities in drug design, as well as novel and promising therapeutic approaches that may be used for the benefit of cancer patients.

Abstract
Improving the therapeutic efficacy of conventional anticancer drugs represents the best hope for cancer treatment. However, the shortage of druggable targets and the increasing development of anticancer drug resistance remain significant problems. Recently, membrane transport proteins have emerged as novel therapeutic targets for cancer treatment. These proteins are essential for a plethora of cell functions ranging from cell homeostasis to clinical drug toxicity. Furthermore, their association with carcinogenesis and chemoresistance has opened new vistas for pharmacology-based cancer research. This review provides a comprehensive update of our current knowledge on the functional expression profile of membrane transport proteins in cancer and chemoresistant tumours that may form the basis for new cancer treatment strategies.

Abstract
Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase2α (CaMK2α) is a serine/threonine protein kinase in neurons and leads to neuronal injury when it is activated abnormally. Bupivacaine, a local anesthetic commonly used in regional nerve block, could induce neurotoxicity via apoptotic injury. Whether or not CaMK2α is involved in bupivacaine-induced neurotoxicity and it is regulated remains unclear. In this study, bupivacaine was administered for intrathecal injection in C57BL/6 mice for building vivo injury model and was used to culture human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cells for building vitro injury model. The results showed that bupivacaine induced mitochondrial oxidative stress and neurons apoptotic injury, promoted phosphorylation of CaMK2α and cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB), and elevated mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter (MCU) expression. Furthermore, it induced CaMK2α phosphorylation at Thr286 which phosphorylated CREB at Ser133 and up-regulated MCU transcriptional expression. Inhibition of CaMK2α-MCU signaling with knock-down of CaMK2α and MCU or with inhibitors (KN93 and Ru360) significantly mitigated bupivacaine-induced neurotoxic injury. Over-expression of CaMK2α significantly enhanced above oxidative injury. Activated MCU with agonist (spermine) reversed protective effect of siCaMK2α on bupivacaine-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress. Our data revealed that CaMK2α-MCU-mitochondrial oxidative stress pathway is a major mechanism whereby bupivacaine induces neurotoxicity and inhibition of above signaling could be a therapeutic strategy in the treatment of bupivacaine-induced neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Hypoxia induces cell death through excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium (Ca2+) influx in cells and TRPM2 cation channel is activated by oxidative stress. Zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), and glutathione (GSH) have antioxidant properties in several cells and hypoxia-induced TRPM2 channel activity, ROS and cell death may be inhibited by the Zn, Se, and GSH treatments. We investigated effects of Zn, Se, and GSH on lipid peroxidation (LPO), cell cytotoxicity and death through inhibition of TRPM2 channel activity in transfected HEK293 cells exposed to hypoxia defined as oxygen deficiency.We induced four groups as normoxia 30 and 60 min evaluated as control groups, hypoxia 30 and 60 min in the HEK293 cells. The cells were separately pre-incubated with extracellular Zn (100 µM), Se (150 nM) and GSH (5 mM). Cytotoxicity was evaluated by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and the LDH and LPO levels were significantly higher in the hypoxia-30 and 60 min-exposed cells according to normoxia 30 and 60 min groups. Furthermore, we found that the LPO and LDH were decreased in the hypoxia-exposed cells after being treated with Zn, Se, and GSH according to the hypoxia groups. Compared to the normoxia groups, the current densities of TRPM2 channel were increased in the hypoxia-exposed cells by the hypoxia applications, while the same values were decreased in the treatment of Zn, Se, and GSH according to hypoxia group. In conclusion, hypoxia-induced TRPM2 channel activity, ROS and cell death were recovered by the Se, Zn and GSH treatments.

Transient receptor potential ion channel TRPM2 promotes AML proliferation and survival through modulation of mitochondrial function, ROS, and autophagy. Cell Death Dis 2020; 11:247.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) ion channel has an essential function in maintaining cell survival following oxidant injury. Here, we show that TRPM2 is highly expressed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The role of TRPM2 in AML was studied following depletion with CRISPR/Cas9 technology in U937 cells. In in vitro experiments and in xenografts, depletion of TRPM2 in AML inhibited leukemia proliferation, and doxorubicin sensitivity was increased. Mitochondrial function including oxygen consumption rate and ATP production was reduced, impairing cellular bioenergetics. Mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial calcium uptake were significantly decreased in depleted cells. Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) were significantly increased, and Nrf2 was decreased, reducing the antioxidant response. In TRPM2-depleted cells, ULK1, Atg7, and Atg5 protein levels were decreased, leading to autophagy inhibition. Consistently, ATF4 and CREB, two master transcription factors for autophagosome biogenesis, were reduced in TRPM2-depleted cells. In addition, Atg13 and FIP200, which are known to stabilize ULK1 protein, were decreased. Reconstitution with TRPM2 fully restored proliferation, viability, and autophagy; ATF4 and CREB fully restored proliferation and viability but only partially restored autophagy. TRPM2 expression reduced the elevated ROS found in depleted cells. These data show that TRPM2 has an important role in AML proliferation and survival through regulation of key transcription factors and target genes involved in mitochondrial function, bioenergetics, the antioxidant response, and autophagy. Targeting TRPM2 may represent a novel therapeutic approach to inhibit myeloid leukemia growth and enhance susceptibility to chemotherapeutic agents through multiple pathways.

Abstract
Hypoxia (HYPX) induced-overload Ca2+ entry results in increase of mitochondrial oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis in several neurons. Ca2+ permeable TRPM2 channel was gated by ADP-ribose (ADPR) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), although its activity was modulated in HYPX-exposed neurons by resveratrol (RSV). The aim of this study was to evaluate if a therapy of RSV can modulate the effect of HYPX in the TRPM2 expressing SH-SY5Y neuronal and HEK293 (no expression of TRPM2) cell lines. The SH-SY5Y and HEK293 cells were divided into four groups as control, RSV (50 μM and 24 hours), and HYPX and RSV + HYPX. For induction of HYPX in the cells, CoCl2 (200 μM and 24 hours) incubation was used. HYPX-induced intracellular Ca2+ responses to TRPM2 activation were increased in the SH-SY5Y cells but not in the HEK293 cells from coming H2O2 and ADPR. RSV treatment improved intracellular Ca2+ responses, mitochondrial function, suppressed the generation of cytokine (IL-1β and TNF-α), cytosolic and mitochondrial ROS in the SH-SY5Y cells. Intracellular free Zn2+, apoptosis, cell death, PARP-1, TRPM2 expression, caspase −3 and −9 levels are increased through activating TRPM2 in the SH-SY5Y cells exposed to the HYPX. However, the values were decreased in the cells by RSV and TRPM2 blockers (ACA and 2-APB). In SH-SY5Y neuronal cells exposed to HYPX conditions, the neuroprotective effects of RSV were shown to be exerted via modulation of oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis and death through modulation of TRPM2 channel. RSV could be used as an effective agent in the treatment of neurodegeneration exposure to HYPX.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin channel subfamily member 2 (TRPM2) has an essential role in protecting cell viability through modulation of oxidative stress. TRPM2 is highly expressed in cancer. When TRPM2 is inhibited, mitochondria are dysfunctional, ROS levels are increased, and cell viability is reduced. Here, the importance of NF-E2-related factor (Nrf2) in TRPM2-mediated suppression of oxidant stress was explored. In TRPM2 depleted cells, antioxidant cofactors glutathione, NADPH, and NADH were significantly reduced. Cytoplasmic and nuclear expression of Nrf2 and of IQGAP1, a modulator of Nrf2 stability regulated by intracellular calcium, were decreased. Antioxidant enzymes transcriptionally regulated by Nrf2 and involved in GSH, NADPH, and NADH generation were significantly lower including PRX1 and PRX3, GPX4, GSTP1, GCLC, and MTHFD2. The glutamine pathway leading to GSH production was suppressed, and ATP and GTP levels were impaired. Reconstitution with wild type TRPM2 or Nrf2, but not TRPM2 pore mutant E960D, rescued expression of enzymes downstream of Nrf2 and restored GSH and GTP. Cell viability, ROS, NADPH, NADH, and ATP levels were fully rescued by TRPM2 and partially by Nrf2. These data show that TRPM2 maintains cell survival following oxidative stress through modulation of antioxidant pathways and cofactors regulated by Nrf2.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins are a diverse family of ion channels present in multiple types of tissues. They function as gatekeepers for responses to sensory stimuli including temperature, vision, taste, and pain through their activities in conducting ion fluxes. The TRPM (melastatin) subfamily consists of eight members (i.e., TRPM1-8), which collectively regulate fluxes of various types of cations such as K+ , Na+ , Ca2+ , and Mg2+ . Growing evidence in the past two decades indicates that TRPM ion channels, their isoforms, or long noncoding RNAs encoded within the locus may be oncogenes involved in the regulation of cancer cell growth, proliferation, autophagy, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and their significant association with poor clinical outcomes of cancer patients. In this review, we describe and discuss recent findings implicating TRPM channels in different malignancies, their functions, mechanisms, and signaling pathways involved in cancers, as well as summarizing their normal physiological functions and the availability of ion channel pharmacological inhibitors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in regulating gene expression and are thus important for determining phenotypes. Most attempts to measure selection in lncRNAs have focused on the primary sequence. The majority of small RNAs and at least some parts of lncRNAs must fold into specific structures to perform their biological function. Comprehensive assessments of selection acting on RNAs therefore must also encompass structure. Selection pressures acting on the structure of non-coding genes can be detected within multiple sequence alignments. Approaches of this type, however, have so far focused on negative selection. Thus, a computational method for identifying ncRNAs under positive selection is needed. RESULTS We introduce the SSS-test (test for Selection on Secondary Structure) to identify positive selection and thus adaptive evolution. Benchmarks with biological as well as synthetic controls yield coherent signals for both negative and positive selection, demonstrating the functionality of the test. A survey of a lncRNA collection comprising 15,443 families resulted in 110 candidates that appear to be under positive selection in human. In 26 lncRNAs that have been associated with psychiatric disorders we identified local structures that have signs of positive selection in the human lineage. CONCLUSIONS It is feasible to assay positive selection acting on RNA secondary structures on a genome-wide scale. The detection of human-specific positive selection in lncRNAs associated with cognitive disorder provides a set of candidate genes for further experimental testing and may provide insights into the evolution of cognitive abilities in humans.

TRPM2 ion channel promotes gastric cancer migration, invasion and tumor growth through the AKT signaling pathway. Sci Rep 2019; 9:4182. [PMID: 30862883 PMCID: PMC6414629 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-40330-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2018] [Accepted: 01/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin-2 (TRPM2) ion channel is emerging as a great therapeutic target in many types of cancer, including gastric cancer - a major health threat of cancer related-death worldwide. Our previous study demonstrated the critical role of TRPM2 in gastric cancer cells bioenergetics and survival; however, its role in gastric cancer metastasis, the major cause of patient death, remains unknown. Here, using molecular and functional assays, we demonstrate that TRPM2 downregulation significantly inhibits the migration and invasion abilities of gastric cancer cells, with a significant reversion in the expression level of metastatic markers. These effects were concomitant with decreased Akt and increased PTEN activities. Finally, TRPM2 silencing resulted in deregulation of metastatic markers and abolished the tumor growth ability of AGS gastric cancer cells in NOD/SCID mice. Taken together, our results provide compelling evidence on the important function of TRPM2 in the modulation of gastric cancer cell invasion likely through controlling the PTEN/Akt pathway.

Resveratrol Enhances Apoptotic and Oxidant Effects of Paclitaxel through TRPM2 Channel Activation in DBTRG Glioblastoma Cells. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:4619865.

Abstract
Numerous studies have reported a strong association between increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the pathobiology of several diseases, and cancer in particular. Therefore, manipulation of cellular oxidative stress levels represents an important therapeutic target. Recently, resveratrol (RESV), a naturally occurring phytochemical, has been shown to sensitize several cell lines to the anticancer effects of other chemotherapeutic agents, including paclitaxel (PAX). However, the molecular mechanisms of action of RESV through oxidative sensitive TRPM2 channel activation remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of combination therapy of RESV and PAX on activation of TRPM2 in DBTRG glioblastoma cells. DBTRG cells were divided into four treatment groups: control, RESV (50 μM), PAX (50 μM), and PAX + RESV for 24 hours. Our data shows that markers for apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane depolarization and mitochondrial function, intracellular steady-state ROS levels, caspase 3 activity, TRPM2 current density, and Ca2+ florescence intensity were significantly increased in DBTRG cells following treatment with PAX and RESV, respectively, although cell viability was also decreased by these treatments. These biochemical markers were further increased to favor the anticancer effects of PAX in DBTRG cells in combination with RESV. The PAX and RESV-mediated increase in current density and Ca2+ florescence intensity was decreased with a TRPM2 blocker. This suggests that for this combination therapy to have a substantial effect on apoptosis and cell viability, the TRPM2 channel must be stimulated.

Abstract
The TRP ion channel TRPM2 has an essential function in cell survival and protects the viability of a number of cell types after oxidative stress. It is highly expressed in many cancers including breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancer, melanoma, leukemia, and neuroblastoma, suggesting it promotes cancer cell survival. TRPM2 is activated by production of ADP-ribose (ADPR) following oxidative stress, which binds to the C-terminus of TRPM2, resulting in channel opening. In a number of cancers including neuroblastoma, TRPM2 has been shown to preserve viability and mechanisms have been identified. Activation of TRPM2 results in expression of transcription factors and kinases important in cell proliferation and survival including HIF-1/2α, CREB, nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-related factor-2 (Nrf2), and Pyk2, and Src phosphorylation. Together, HIF-1/2α and CREB regulate expression of genes encoding proteins with roles in mitochondrial function including members of the electron transport complex involved in ATP production. These contribute to lower mitochondrial ROS production while expression of antioxidants regulated by HIF-1/2α, FOXO3a, CREB, and Nrf2 is maintained. CREB is also important in control of expression of key proteins involved in autophagy. When TRPM2-mediated calcium influx is inhibited, mitochondria are dysfunctional, cellular bioenergetics are reduced, production of ROS is increased, and autophagy and DNA repair are impaired, decreasing tumor growth and increasing chemotherapy sensitivity. Inhibition of TRPM2 expression or function results in decreased tumor proliferation and/or viability in many malignancies including breast, gastric, pancreatic, prostate, head and neck cancers, melanoma, neuroblastoma, and T-cell and acute myelogenous leukemia. However, in a small number of malignancies, activation of TRPM2 rather than inhibition has been reported to reduce tumor cell survival. Here, TRPM2-mediated Ca2+ signaling and mechanisms of regulation of cancer cell growth and survival are reviewed and controversies discussed. Evidence suggests that targeting TRPM2 may be a novel therapeutic approach in many cancers.

Selenium Enhances the Apoptotic Efficacy of Docetaxel Through Activation of TRPM2 Channel in DBTRG Glioblastoma Cells. Neurotox Res 2019; 35:797-808.

Abstract
The rate of mitosis of cancer cells is significantly higher than normal primary cells with increased metabolic needs, which in turn enhances the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Higher ROS production is known to increase cancer cell dependence on ROS scavenging systems to counteract the increased ROS. Therapeutic options which selectively modulate the levels of intracellular ROS in cancers are likely candidates for drug discovery. Docetaxel (DTX) has demonstrated antitumor activity in preclinical and clinical studies. It is thought that DTX induces cell death through excessive ROS production and increased Ca2+ entry. The Ca2+ permeable TRPM2 channel is activated by ROS. Selenium (Se) has been previously used to stimulate apoptosis for the treatment of glioblastoma cells resistant to DTX. However, the potential mechanism(s) of the additive effect of DTX on TRPM2 channels in cancer cells remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of combination therapy of DTX and Se on activation of TRPM2 in DBTRG glioblastoma cells. DBTRG cells were divided into four treatment groups: control, DTX (10 nM for 10 h), Se (1 μM for 10 h), and DTX+Se. Our study showed that apoptosis (Annexin V and propidium iodide), mitochondrial membrane depolarization (JC1), and ROS production levels were increased in DBTRG cells following treatment with Se and DTX respectively. Cell number and viability, and the levels of apoptosis, JC1, ROS, and [Ca2+]i, induced by DTX, were further increased following addition of Se. We also observed an additive increase in the activation of the NAD-dependent DNA repair enzyme poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) activity, which was accompanied by a decline in its essential substrate NAD+. As well, the Se- and DTX-induced increases in intracellular Ca2+ florescence intensity were decreased following treatment with the TRPM2 antagonist N-(p-amylcinnamoyl) anthranilic acid (ACA). Therefore, combination therapy with Se and DTX may represent an effective strategy for the treatment of glioblastoma cells and may be associated with TRPM2-mediated increases in oxidative stress and [Ca2+]i.

Cells 2019; 8:cells8010028. [PMID: 30625984 PMCID: PMC6356620 DOI: 10.3390/cells8010028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2018] [Revised: 12/22/2018] [Accepted: 12/30/2018] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells are a widely-used human neuronal cell model in the study of neurodegeneration. A recent study shows that, 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridine ion (MPP), which selectively causes dopaminergic neuronal death leading to Parkinson’s disease-like symptoms, can reduce SH-SY5Y cell viability by inducing H2O2 generation and subsequent TRPM2 channel activation. MPP-induced cell death is enhanced by increasing the TRPM2 expression. By contrast, increasing the TRPM2 expression has also been reported to support SH-SY5Y cell survival after exposure to H2O2, leading to the suggestion of a protective role for the TRPM2 channel. To clarify the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced TRPM2 channel activation in SH-SY5Y cells, we generated a stable SH-SY5Y cell line overexpressing the human TRPM2 channel and examined cell death and cell viability after exposure to H2O2 in the wild-type and TRPM2-overexpressing SH-SY5Y cells. Exposure to H2O2 resulted in concentration-dependent cell death and reduction in cell viability in both cell types. TRPM2 overexpression remarkably augmented H2O2-induced cell death and reduction in cell viability. Furthermore, H2O2-induced cell death in both the wild-type and TRPM2-overexpressing cells was prevented by 2-APB, a TRPM2 inhibitor, and also by PJ34 and DPQ, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. Collectively, our results show that increasing the TRPM2 expression renders SH-SY5Y cells to be more susceptible to ROS-induced cell death and reinforce the notion that the TRPM2 channel plays a critical role in conferring ROS-induced cell death. It is anticipated that SH-SY5Y cells can be useful for better understanding the molecular and signaling mechanisms for ROS-induced TRPM2-mediated neurodegeneration in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) channel activation by reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a critical role in delayed neuronal cell death, responsible for postischemia brain damage via altering intracellular Zn2+ homeostasis, but a mechanistic understanding is still lacking. Here, we showed that H2 O2 induced neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell death with a significant delay, dependently of the TRPM2 channel and increased [Zn2+ ]i , and therefore used this cell model to investigate the mechanisms underlying ROS-induced TRPM2-mediated delayed cell death. H2 O2 increased concentration-dependently the [Zn2+ ]i and caused lysosomal dysfunction and Zn2+ loss and, furthermore, mitochondrial Zn2+ accumulation, fragmentation, and ROS generation. Such effects were suppressed by preventing poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose, ADPR) polymerase-1-dependent TRPM2 channel activation with PJ34 and 3,3',5,5'-tetra-tert-butyldiphenoquinone, inhibiting the TRPM2 channel with 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) and N-(p-amylcinnamoyl)anthranilic acid, or chelating Zn2+ with N,N,N,N-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)-ethylenediamine (TPEN). Bafilomycin-induced lysosomal dysfunction also resulted in mitochondrial Zn2+ accumulation, fragmentation, and ROS generation that were inhibited by PJ34 or 2-APB, suggesting that these mitochondrial events are TRPM2 dependent and sequela of lysosomal dysfunction. Mitochondrial TRPM2 expression was detected and exposure to ADPR-induced Zn2+ uptake in isolated mitochondria, which was prevented by TPEN. H2 O2 -induced delayed cell death was inhibited by apocynin and diphenyleneiodonium, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen (NADPH) oxidase (NOX) inhibitors, GKT137831, an NOX1/4-specific inhibitor, or Gö6983, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor. Moreover, inhibition of PKC/NOX prevented H2 O2 -induced ROS generation, lysosomal dysfunction and Zn2+ release, and mitochondrial Zn2+ accumulation, fragmentation and ROS generation. Collectively, these results support a critical role for the TRPM2 channel in coupling PKC/NOX-mediated ROS generation, lysosomal Zn2+ release, and mitochondrial Zn2+ accumulation, and ROS generation to form a vicious positive feedback signaling mechanism for ROS-induced delayed cell death.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin channel subfamily member 2 (TRPM2) has an essential function in cell survival and is highly expressed in many cancers. Inhibition of TRPM2 in neuroblastoma by depletion with CRISPR technology or expression of dominant negative TRPM2-S has been shown to significantly reduce cell viability. Here, the role of proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) in TRPM2 modulation of neuroblastoma viability was explored. In TRPM2-depleted cells, phosphorylation and expression of Pyk2 and cAMP-responsive element-binding protein (CREB), a downstream target, were significantly reduced after application of the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin. Overexpression of wild-type Pyk2 rescued cell viability. Reduction of Pyk2 expression with shRNA decreased cell viability and CREB phosphorylation and expression, demonstrating Pyk2 modulates CREB activation. TRPM2 depletion impaired phosphorylation of Src, an activator of Pyk2, and this may be a mechanism to reduce Pyk2 phosphorylation. TRPM2 inhibition was previously demonstrated to decrease mitochondrial function. Here, CREB, Pyk2, and phosphorylated Src were reduced in mitochondria of TRPM2-depleted cells, consistent with their role in modulating expression and activation of mitochondrial proteins. Phosphorylated Src and phosphorylated and total CREB were reduced in TRPM2-depleted nuclei. Expression and function of mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU), a target of phosphorylated Pyk2 and CREB, were significantly reduced. Wild-type TRPM2 but not Ca2+-impermeable mutant E960D reconstituted phosphorylation and expression of Pyk2 and CREB in TRPM2-depleted cells exposed to doxorubicin. Results demonstrate that TRPM2 expression protects the viability of neuroblastoma through Src, Pyk2, CREB, and MCU activation, which play key roles in maintaining mitochondrial function and cellular bioenergetics.

Abstract
A dysregulated cellular Ca2+ homeostasis is involved in multiple pathologies including cancer. Changes in Ca2+ signaling caused by altered fluxes through ion channels and transporters (the transportome) are involved in all steps of the metastatic cascade. Cancer cells thereby "re-program" and "misuse" the cellular transportome to regulate proliferation, apoptosis, metabolism, growth factor signaling, migration and invasion. Cancer cells use their transportome to cope with diverse environmental challenges during the metastatic cascade, like hypoxic, acidic and mechanical cues. Hence, ion channels and transporters are key modulators of cancer progression. This review focuses on the role of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in the metastatic cascade. After briefly introducing the role of the transportome in cancer, we discuss TRP channel functions in cancer cell migration. We highlight the role of TRP channels in sensing and transmitting cues from the tumor microenvironment and discuss their role in cancer cell invasion. We identify open questions concerning the role of TRP channels in circulating tumor cells and in the processes of intra- and extravasation of tumor cells. We emphasize the importance of TRP channels in different steps of cancer metastasis and propose cancer-specific TRP channel blockade as a therapeutic option in cancer treatment.

TRPM2 channel-mediated regulation of autophagy maintains mitochondrial function and promotes gastric cancer cell survival via the JNK-signaling pathway. J Biol Chem 2018; 293:3637-3650.

Abstract
A lack of effective treatment is one of the main factors contributing to gastric cancer-related death. Discovering effective targets and understanding their underlying anti-cancer mechanism are key to achieving the best response to treatment and to limiting side effects. Although recent studies have shown that the cation channel transient receptor potential melastatin-2 (TRPM2) is crucial for cancer cell survival, the exact mechanism remains unclear, limiting its therapeutic potential. Here, using molecular and functional assays, we investigated the role of TRPM2 in survival of gastric cancer cells. Our results indicated that TRPM2 knockdown in AGS and MKN-45 cells decreases cell proliferation and enhances apoptosis. We also observed that the TRPM2 knockdown impairs mitochondrial metabolism, indicated by a decrease in basal and maximal mitochondrial oxygen consumption rates and ATP production. These mitochondrial defects coincided with a decrease in autophagy and mitophagy, indicated by reduced levels of autophagy- and mitophagy-associated proteins (i.e. ATGs, LC3A/B II, and BNIP3). Moreover, we found that TRPM2 modulates autophagy through a c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-dependent and mechanistic target of rapamycin-independent pathway. We conclude that in the absence of TRPM2, down-regulation of the JNK-signaling pathway impairs autophagy, ultimately causing the accumulation of damaged mitochondria and death of gastric cancer cells. Of note, by inhibiting cell proliferation and promoting apoptosis, the TRPM2 down-regulation enhanced the efficacy of paclitaxel and doxorubicin in gastric cancer cells. Collectively, we provide compelling evidence that TRPM2 inhibition may benefit therapeutic approaches for managing gastric cancer.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin-related 2 (TRPM2) channel, a molecular sensor for reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays an important role in cognitive dysfunction associated with post-ischemia brain damage thought to result from ROS-induced TRPM2-dependent neuronal death during reperfusion. Emerging evidence further suggests that an alteration in the Zn2+ homeostasis is critical in ROS-induced TRPM2-dependent neuronal death. Here we applied genetic and pharmacological interventions to define the role of TRPM2 channel in ROS-induced neuronal death and explore the mechanisms contributing in the alteration in intracellular Zn2+ homeostasis in mouse hippocampal neurons. Exposure of neurons to 30–300 μM H2O2 for 2–24 h caused concentration/duration-dependent neuronal death, which was significantly suppressed, but not completely prevented, by TRPM2-knockout (TRPM2-KO) and pharmacological inhibition of the TRPM2 channel. H2O2-induced neuronal death was also attenuated by treatment with TPEN acting as a Zn2+ selective chelator. Single cell imaging demonstrated that H2O2 evoked a prominent increase in the intracellular Zn2+ concentration, which was completely prevented by TPEN as well as TRPM2-KO and inhibition of the TRPM2 channel. Furthermore, H2O2 induced lysosomal Zn2+ release and lysosomal dysfunction, and subsequent mitochondrial Zn2+ accumulation that provokes mitochondrial dysfunction and ROS generation. These H2O2-induced lysosomal/mitochondrial effects were prevented by TRPM2-KO or TPEN. Taken together, our results provide evidence to show that a dynamic alteration in the intracellular Zn2+ homeostasis as a result of activation of the TRPM2 channel contributes to ROS-induced hippocampal neuronal death.

Abstract
Mitochondria are essential intracellular organelles that regulate energy metabolism, cell death, and signaling pathways that are important for cell proliferation and differentiation. Therefore, mitochondria are fundamentally implicated in cancer biology, including initiation, growth, metastasis, relapse, and acquired drug resistance. Based on these implications, mitochondria have been proposed as a major therapeutic target for cancer treatment. In addition to classical view of mitochondria in cancer biology, recent studies found novel pathophysiological roles of mitochondria in cancer. In this review, we introduce recent concepts of mitochondrial roles in cancer biology including mitochondrial DNA mutation and epigenetic modulation, energy metabolism reprogramming, mitochondrial channels, involvement in metastasis and drug resistance, and cancer stem cells. We also discuss the role of mitochondria in emerging cancer therapeutic strategies, especially cancer immunotherapy and CRISPR-Cas9 system gene therapy.
