Mechanosensitive cation currents through TRPC6 and Piezo1 channels in human pulmonary arterial endothelial cells. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 2022; 323:C959-C973. [PMID: 35968892 PMCID: PMC9485000 DOI: 10.1152/ajpcell.00313.2022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Mechanosensitive cation channels and Ca2+ influx through these channels play an important role in the regulation of endothelial cell functions. Transient receptor potential canonical channel 6 (TRPC6) is a diacylglycerol-sensitive nonselective cation channel that forms receptor-operated Ca2+ channels in a variety of cell types. Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive cation channel activated by membrane stretch and shear stress in lung endothelial cells. In this study, we report that TRPC6 and Piezo1 channels both contribute to membrane stretch-mediated cation currents and Ca2+ influx or increase in cytosolic-free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) in human pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAECs). The membrane stretch-mediated cation currents and increase in [Ca2+]cyt in human PAECs were significantly decreased by GsMTX4, a blocker of Piezo1 channels, and by BI-749327, a selective blocker of TRPC6 channels. Extracellular application of 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG), a membrane permeable analog of diacylglycerol, rapidly induced whole cell cation currents and increased [Ca2+]cyt in human PAECs and human embryonic kidney (HEK)-cells transiently transfected with the human TRPC6 gene. Furthermore, membrane stretch with hypo-osmotic or hypotonic solution enhances the cation currents in TRPC6-transfected HEK cells. In HEK cells transfected with the Piezo1 gene, however, OAG had little effect on the cation currents, but membrane stretch significantly enhanced the cation currents. These data indicate that, while both TRPC6 and Piezo1 are involved in generating mechanosensitive cation currents and increases in [Ca2+]cyt in human PAECs undergoing mechanical stimulation, only TRPC6 (but not Piezo1) is sensitive to the second messenger diacylglycerol. Selective blockers of these channels may help develop novel therapies for mechanotransduction-associated pulmonary vascular remodeling in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

New Insights into TRP Ion Channels in Stem Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23147766.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels are cationic permeable proteins located on the plasma membrane. TRPs are cellular sensors for perceiving diverse physical and/or chemical stimuli; thus, serving various critical physiological functions, including chemo-sensation, hearing, homeostasis, mechano-sensation, pain, taste, thermoregulation, vision, and even carcinogenesis. Dysregulated TRPs are found to be linked to many human hereditary diseases. Recent studies indicate that TRP ion channels are not only involved in sensory functions but are also implicated in regulating the biological characteristics of stem cells. In the present review, we summarize the expressions and functions of TRP ion channels in stem cells, including cancer stem cells. It offers an overview of the current understanding of TRP ion channels in stem cells.

Abstract
Concentric pulmonary vascular wall thickening due partially to increased pulmonary artery (PA) smooth muscle cell (PASMC) proliferation contributes to elevating pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Although pulmonary vasoconstriction may be an early contributor to increasing PVR, the transition of contractile PASMCs to proliferative PASMCs may play an important role in the development and progression of pulmonary vascular remodeling in PH. A rise in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) is a trigger for PASMC contraction and proliferation. Here, we report that upregulation of Piezo1, a mechanosensitive cation channel, is involved in the contractile-to-proliferative phenotypic transition of PASMCs and potential development of pulmonary vascular remodeling. By comparing freshly isolated PA (contractile PASMCs) and primary cultured PASMCs (from the same rat) in a growth medium (proliferative PASMCs), we found that Piezo1, Notch2/3, and CaSR protein levels were significantly higher in proliferative PASMCs than in contractile PASMCs. Upregulated Piezo1 was associated with an increase in expression of PCNA, a marker for cell proliferation, whereas downregulation (with siRNA) or inhibition (with GsMTx4) of Piezo1 attenuated PASMC proliferation. Furthermore, Piezo1 in the remodeled PA from rats with experimental PH was upregulated compared with PA from control rats. These data indicate that PASMC contractile-to-proliferative phenotypic transition is associated with the transition or adaptation of membrane channels and receptors. Upregulated Piezo1 may play a critical role in PASMC phenotypic transition and PASMC proliferation. Upregulation of Piezo1 in proliferative PASMCs may likely be required to provide sufficient Ca2+ to assure nuclear/cell division and PASMC proliferation, contributing to the development and progression of pulmonary vascular remodeling in PH.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a fatal and progressive disease. Sustained vasoconstriction due to pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell (PASMC) contraction and concentric arterial remodeling due partially to PASMC proliferation are the major causes for increased pulmonary vascular resistance and increased pulmonary arterial pressure in patients with precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) including PAH and PH due to respiratory diseases or hypoxemia. We and others observed upregulation of TRPC6 channels in PASMCs from patients with PAH. A rise in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) in PASMC triggers PASMC contraction and vasoconstriction, while Ca2+-dependent activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is a pivotal signaling cascade for cell proliferation and gene expression. Despite evidence supporting a pathological role of TRPC6, no selective and orally bioavailable TRPC6 antagonist has yet been developed and tested for treatment of PAH or PH. In this study, we sought to investigate whether block of receptor-operated Ca2+ channels using a nonselective blocker of cation channels, 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate (2-APB, administered intraperitoneally) and a selective blocker of TRPC6, BI-749327 (administered orally) can reverse established PH in mice. The results from the study show that intrapulmonary application of 2-APB (40 µM) or BI-749327 (3-10 µM) significantly and reversibly inhibited acute alveolar hypoxia-induced pulmonary vasoconstriction. Intraperitoneal injection of 2-APB (1 mg/kg per day) significantly attenuated the development of PH and partially reversed established PH in mice. Oral gavage of BI-749327 (30 mg/kg, every day, for 2 wk) reversed established PH by ∼50% via regression of pulmonary vascular remodeling. Furthermore, 2-APB and BI-749327 both significantly inhibited PDGF- and serum-mediated phosphorylation of AKT and mTOR in PASMC. In summary, the receptor-operated and mechanosensitive TRPC6 channel is a good target for developing novel treatment for PAH/PH. BI-749327, a selective TRPC6 blocker, is potentially a novel and effective drug for treating PAH and PH due to respiratory diseases or hypoxemia.

Sevoflurane preconditioning promotes mesenchymal stem cells to relieve myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury via TRPC6-induced angiogenesis. Stem Cell Res Ther 2021; 12:584. [PMID: 34809715 PMCID: PMC8607627 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-021-02649-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2021] [Accepted: 11/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Ischemic heart diseases is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Although revascularization timely is an effective therapeutic intervention to salvage the ischemic myocardium, reperfusion itself causes additional myocardial injury called ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is one of the promising cells to alleviate ischemic myocardial injury. However, this cell therapy is limited by poor MSCs survival after transplantation. Here, we investigated whether sevoflurane preconditioning could promote MSCs to attenuate myocardial I/R injury via transient receptor potential canonical channel 6 (TRPC6)-induced angiogenesis. Methods The anti-apoptotic effect of sevoflurane preconditioning on MSCs was determined by Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide staining. TRPC6, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), Chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) protein expressions and VEGF release from MSCs were determined after hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R). Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to knock down TRPC6 gene expression in MSCs. The angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) co-cultured with MSCs was determined by Matrigel tube formation. Myocardial I/R mouse model was induced by occluding left anterior descending coronary artery for 30 min and then reperfusion. MSCs or sevoflurane preconditioned MSCs were injected around the ligature border zone 5 min before reperfusion. Left ventricle systolic function, infarction size, serum LDH, cTnI and inflammatory cytokines were determined after reperfusion. Results Sevoflurane preconditioning up-regulated TRPC6, HIF-1α, CXCR4 and VEGF expressions in MSCs and VEGF release from MSCs under H/R, which were reversed by knockdown of TRPC6 gene using siRNA in MSCs. Furthermore, sevoflurane preconditioning promoted the angiogenic and anti-inflammatory effect of HUVECs co-cultured with MSCs. Sevoflurane preconditioned MSCs improved left ventricle systolic function and alleviated myocardial infarction and inflammation in mice subjected to I/R insult. Conclusion The current findings reveal that sevoflurane preconditioned MSCs boost angiogenesis in HUVECs subjected to H/R insult and attenuate myocardial I/R injury, which may be mediated by TRPC6 up-regulated HIF-1α, CXCR4 and VEGF.

Abstract
Chondroitin sulfate (CS)-calcium complex (CSCa) was fabricated, and the structural characteristics of CSCa and its proliferative bioactivity to the chondrocyte were investigated in vitro. Results suggested calcium ions could bind CS chains forming polysaccharide-metal complex, and the maximum calcium holding capacity of CSCa reached 4.23 %. Characterization of CSCa was performed by EDS, AFM, FTIR, UV, XRD and 1H-NMR. It was found that calcium ions were integrated with CS by binding the sulfate or carboxyl groups. The thermal properties analysis indicated CSCa had a good thermal stability by TGA and DSC. CSCa could interact the calcium-sensing receptor increasing the intracellular calcium ions and influence the cell cycle. The TGF-β1 secretion induced by CSCa could activate the TGF-β/Smads pathway and change the genes associated proliferation expression ultimately leading to the chondrocyte proliferation. This research probably has an important implication for understanding the effect of CSCa on bone care as food supplements.

Abstract
Ion channels are transmembrane proteins whose canonical function is the transport of ions across the plasma membrane to regulate cell membrane potential and play an essential role in neural communication, nerve conduction, and muscle contraction. However, over the last few years, non-canonical functions have been identified for many channels, having active roles in phagocytosis, invasiveness, proliferation, among others. The participation of some channels in cell proliferation has raised the question of whether they may play an active role in mitosis. There are several reports showing the participation of channels during interphase, however, the direct participation of ion channels in mitosis has received less attention. In this article, we summarize the current evidence on the participation of ion channels in mitosis. We also summarize some tools that would allow the study of ion channels and cell cycle regulatory molecules in individual cells during mitosis.

Abstract
In amphibians, the inhibition of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) in the dorsal ectoderm has been proposed to be responsible for the first step of neural specification, called neural induction. We previously demonstrated that in Xenopus laevis embryos, the BMP signalling antagonist, noggin, triggers an influx of Ca2+ through voltage-dependent L-type Ca2+ channels (LTCCs), mainly via CaV1.2, and we showed that this influx constitutes a necessary and sufficient signal for triggering the expression of neural genes. However, the mechanism linking the inhibition of BMP signalling with the activation of LTCCs remained unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the transient receptor potential canonical subfamily member 1, (Trpc1), is an intermediate between BMP receptor type II (BMPRII) and the CaV1.2 channel. We show that noggin induces a physical interaction between BMPRII and Trpc1 channels. This interaction leads to the activation of Trpc1 channels and to an influx of cations, which depolarizes the plasma membrane up to a threshold sufficient to activate Cav1.2. Together, our results demonstrate for the first time that during neural induction, Ca2+ entry through the CaV1.2 channel results from the noggin-induced interaction between Trpc1 and BMPRII.

Abstract
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play critical roles in the stability and tonic regulation of vascular homeostasis. VSMCs can switch back and forth between highly proliferative synthetic and fully differentiated contractile phenotypes in response to changes in the vessel environment. Although abnormal phenotypic switching of VSMCs is a hallmark of vascular disorders such as atherosclerosis and restenosis after angioplasty, how control of VSMC phenotypic switching is dysregulated in pathologic conditions remains obscure. We found that inhibition of canonical transient receptor potential 6 (TRPC6) channels facilitated contractile differentiation of VSMCs through plasma membrane hyperpolarization. TRPC6-deficient VSMCs exhibited more polarized resting membrane potentials and higher protein kinase B (Akt) activity than wild-type VSMCs in response to TGF-β1 stimulation. Ischemic stress elicited by oxygen-glucose deprivation suppressed TGF-β1-induced hyperpolarization and VSMC differentiation, but this effect was abolished by TRPC6 deletion. TRPC6-mediated Ca2+ influx and depolarization coordinately promoted the interaction of TRPC6 with lipid phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted from chromosome 10 (PTEN), a negative regulator of Akt activation. Given the marked up-regulation of TRPC6 observed in vascular disorders, our findings suggest that attenuation of TRPC6 channel activity in pathologic VSMCs could be a rational strategy to maintain vascular quality control by fine-tuning of VSMC phenotypic switching.-Numaga-Tomita, T., Shimauchi, T., Oda, S., Tanaka, T., Nishiyama, K., Nishimura, A., Birnbaumer, L., Mori, Y., Nishida, M. TRPC6 regulates phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells through plasma membrane potential-dependent coupling with PTEN.

Abstract
Genomic instability is a primary cause and fundamental feature of human cancer. However, all cancer cell genotypes generally translate into several common pathophysiological features, often referred to as cancer hallmarks. Although nowadays the catalog of cancer hallmarks is quite broad, the most common and obvious of them are 1) uncontrolled proliferation, 2) resistance to programmed cell death (apoptosis), 3) tissue invasion and metastasis, and 4) sustained angiogenesis. Among the genes affected by cancer, those encoding ion channels are present. Membrane proteins responsible for signaling within cell and among cells, for coupling of extracellular events with intracellular responses, and for maintaining intracellular ionic homeostasis ion channels contribute to various extents to pathophysiological features of each cancer hallmark. Moreover, tight association of these hallmarks with ion channel dysfunction gives a good reason to classify them as special type of channelopathies, namely oncochannelopathies. Although the relation of cancer hallmarks to ion channel dysfunction differs from classical definition of channelopathies, as disease states causally linked with inherited mutations of ion channel genes that alter channel's biophysical properties, in a broader context of the disease state, to which pathogenesis ion channels essentially contribute, such classification seems absolutely appropriate. In this review the authors provide arguments to substantiate such point of view.

Abstract
Airway remodeling with progressive epithelial alterations in the respiratory tract is a severe consequence of asthma. Although dysfunctional signaling transduction is attributed to airway inflammation, the exact mechanism of airway remodeling remains largely unknown. TRPC1, a member of the transient receptor potential canonical Ca2+ channel family, possesses versatile functions but its role in airway remodeling remains undefined. Here, we show that ablation of TRPC1 in mice alleviates airway remodeling following house dust mite (HDM) challenge with decreases in mucus production, cytokine secretion, and collagen deposition. HDM challenge induces Ca2+ influx via the TRPC1 channel, resulting in increased levels of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and proinflammatory cytokines. In contrast, STAT3 expression was significantly decreased in TRPC1-/- mouse lungs compared with wild-type controls after HDM challenge. Mechanistically, STAT3 promotes epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and increases mucin 5AC expression. Collectively, these findings identify TRPC1 as a modulator of HDM-induced airway remodeling via STAT3-mediated increase in mucus production, which provide new insight in our understanding of the molecular basis of airway remodeling, and identify novel therapeutic targets for intervention of severe chronic asthma.-Pu, Q., Zhao, Y., Sun, Y., Huang, T., Lin, P., Zhou, C., Qin, S., Singh, B.

Abstract
PURPOSE Prolonged bed rest and microgravity in space cause intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not completely understood. Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels are implicated in mechanosensing of several tissues, but are poorly explored in IVDs. METHODS Primary human IVD cells from surgical biopsies composed of both annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus (passage 1-2) were exposed to simulated microgravity and to the TRPC channel inhibitor SKF-96365 (SKF) for up to 5 days. Proliferative capacity, cell cycle distribution, senescence and TRPC channel expression were analyzed. RESULTS Both simulated microgravity and TRPC channel antagonism reduced the proliferative capacity of IVD cells and induced senescence. While significant changes in cell cycle distributions (reduction in G1 and accumulation in G2/M) were observed upon SKF treatment, the effect was small upon 3 days of simulated microgravity. Finally, downregulation of TRPC6 was shown under simulated microgravity. CONCLUSIONS Simulated microgravity and TRPC channel inhibition both led to reduced proliferation and increased senescence. Furthermore, simulated microgravity reduced TRPC6 expression. IVD cell senescence and mechanotransduction may hence potentially be regulated by TRPC6 expression. This study thus reveals promising targets for future studies. These slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.

Abstract
The vascular endothelium is exposed to three types of mechanical forces: blood flow-mediated shear stress, vessel-diameter dependent wall tension and hydrostatic pressure. Despite considerable variations of blood pressure in normal and pathological physiology, little is known about the acute molecular and cellular effects of hydrostatic pressure on endothelial cells. Here, we used a combination of quantitative fluorescence microscopy, atomic force microscopy and molecular perturbations to characterize the specific response of endothelial cells to pressure application. We identified a two-phase response of endothelial cells to acute (1 h) vs. chronic (24 h) pressure application (100 mmHg). While both regimes induce cortical stiffening, the acute response is linked to calcium-mediated myosin activation, whereas the chronic cell response is dominated by increased cortical actin density and a loss in endothelial barrier function. GsMTx-4 and amiloride inhibit the acute pressure response, which suggest the sodium channel ENaC as key player in endothelial pressure sensing. The described two-phase pressure response may participate in the differential effects of transient changes in blood pressure and hypertension.

Abstract
receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels are presently an emerging target for airway disorders. Recent evidence has indicated that TRPC6 as a member of the TRPC family plays an important role in airway inflammation, but its precise function in bronchial epithelial cells remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of TRPC6 in Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated inflammation in human bronchial epithelial cells stimulated by endotoxin [lipopolysaccharide (LPS)]. Hyp9 is a simplified phloroglucinol derivative of hyperforin that highly selectively activates TRPC6 channels. The results show that the activation of TRPC6 by Hyp9 induced the production of interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-6. LPS was also able to induce the release of IL-8 and IL-6, which was significantly aggravated by Hyp9 and reduced by knockdown of TRPC6. Treatment with LPS not only chronically induced the expression of TRPC6 mRNA and protein in a TLR4-dependent manner but also acutely increased Ca2+ influx through TRPC6 channels. In addition, LPS-induced overexpression of TRPC6 and Ca2+ influx were associated with the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and Akt. Importantly, TRPC6 was required for the activation of ERK1/2, p38, and NF-κB. In conclusion, these data reveal that LPS induced the overexpression of TRPC6 and TRPC6-dependent Ca2+ influx via the TLR4/PI3K/Akt pathway resulting in Ca2+ mobilization, which subsequently promoted the activation of ERK1/2, p38, and NF-κB and the inflammatory response in bronchial epithelial cells.

Abstract
Pulp capping is a restorative technique employed in an attempt to maintain pulpal vitality and generate reparative dentin. Ca2+ released from capping materials is suggested to promote reparative dentin formation. Transient receptor potential channel 6 (TRPC6) is a receptor-operated Ca2+ channel that serves an important role in Ca2+ influx in the majority of non-excitable cells, and influences the calcium signaling and cell respond. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to gain an insight into the role of TRPC6 in the odontoblastic differentiation of human dental pulp cells (HDPCs). Human dental pulp tissues and HDPCs were obtained from healthy third molars. By immunohistochemical staining, TRPC6 was observed to be highly expressed in the dental pulp tissue, particularly in the odontoblast layer. In addition, the protein level of TRPC6 was increased in a time-dependent manner during odontogenic differentiation of HDPCs. Downregulation of TRPC6 by a lentivirus vector containing TRPC6 shRNA inhibited the process of odontogenic differentiation in HDPCs. In conclusion, the current data demonstrated that TRPC6 served a significant role in the odontogenic differentiation of HDPCs, suggesting it may be a promising therapeutic target in regenerative endodontics.

Abstract
Cell cycle regulation through the manipulation of endogenous membrane potentials offers tremendous opportunities to control cellular processes during tissue repair and cancer formation. However, the molecular mechanisms by which biophysical signals modulate the cell cycle remain underappreciated and poorly understood. Cells in complex organisms generate and maintain a constant voltage gradient across the plasma membrane known as the transmembrane potential. This potential, generated through the combined efforts of various ion transporters, pumps and channels, is known to drive a wide range of cellular processes such as cellular proliferation, migration and tissue regeneration while its deregulation can lead to tumorigenesis. These cellular regulatory events, coordinated by ionic flow, correspond to a new and exciting field termed molecular bioelectricity. We aim to present a brief discussion on the biophysical machinery involving membrane potential and the mechanisms mediating cell cycle progression and cancer transformation. Furthermore, we present the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea as a tractable model system for understanding principles behind molecular bioelectricity at both the cellular and organismal level. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Membrane channels and transporters in cancers.
