Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of our study is to evaluate the involvement of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) in the alteration of lymphatic pumping in response to flow and determine the signaling pathways involved. METHODS We used immunofluorescence imaging and western blotting to assess TRPV4 expression in rat mesenteric lymphatic vessels. We examined inhibition of TRPV4 with HC067047, nitric oxide synthase (NOS) with L-NNA and cyclooxygenases (COXs) with indomethacin on the contractile response of pressurized lymphatic vessels to flow changes induced by a stepwise increase in pressure gradients, and the functionality of endothelial TRPV4 channels by measuring the intracellular Ca2+ response of primary lymphatic endothelial cell cultures to the selective agonist GSK1016790A. RESULTS TRPV4 protein was expressed in both the endothelial and the smooth muscle layer of rat mesenteric lymphatics with high endothelial expression around the valve sites. When maintained under constant transmural pressure, most lymphatic vessels displayed a decrease in contraction frequency under conditions of flow and this effect was ablated through inhibition of NOS, COX or TRPV4. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate a critical role for TRPV4 in the decrease in contraction frequency induced in lymphatic vessels by increases in flow rate via the production and action of nitric oxide and dilatory prostanoids.

[PMID: 37802278 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2023.176104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2023] [Revised: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/08/2023]
Abstract
Vascular tone regulation is a key event in controlling blood flow in the body. Endothelial cells (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) help regulate the vascular tone. Abnormal vascular responsiveness to various stimuli, including constrictors and dilators, has been observed in pathophysiological states although EC and VSMC coordinate to maintain the exquisite balance between contraction and relaxation in vasculatures. Thus, investigating the mechanisms underlying vascular tone abnormality is very important in maintaining vascular health and treating vasculopathy. Increased intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) is one of the major triggers initiating each EC and VSMC response. Transient receptor potential vanilloid family member 4 (TRPV4) is a Ca2+-permeable non-selective ion channel, which is activated by several stimuli, and is presented in both ECs and VSMCs. Therefore, TRPV4 plays an important role in vascular responses. Emerging evidence indicates the role of TRPV4 on the functions of ECs and VSMCs in various pathophysiological states, including hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. This review focused on the link between TRPV4 and the functions of ECs/VSMCs, particularly its role in vascular tone and responsiveness to vasoactive substances.

Abstract
The study examined the effect of intrathecal injection of dopamine (serotonin) and/or lidocaine. Intrathecal injections of dopamine (serotonin or epinephrine), lidocaine, or their combination were carried out in male Sprague Dawley rats. Neurobehavioral examinations (motor and nociceptive reactions) were performed before and after spinal injection. Intrathecal serotonin (1.5 μmol), dopamine (2.5 μmol), epinephrine (1:40000), and lidocaine (0.75 μmol) produced 29%, 33%, 29%, and 54% nociceptive blockade, whereas serotonin (1.5 μmol), dopamine (2.5 μmol), or epinephrine (1:40000) produced a longer duration of nociceptive blockade than lidocaine (0.75 μmol) (P < 0.05). Serotonin (1.5 μmol), dopamine (1.25 and 2.5 μmol), or epinephrine (1:40000 and 1:80000) prolonged the duration and increased the potency of spinal motor and nociceptive blockades of lidocaine (50% effective dose, ED50) (P < 0.05). The motor and nociceptive blockades caused by lidocaine (ED50) plus dopamine (2.5 μmol) or lidocaine (ED50) plus epinephrine (1:40000) were more outstanding than lidocaine (ED50) plus serotonin (0.75 μmol) (P < 0.05). Our study provides evidence that intrathecal dopamine or serotonin produces spinal nociceptive blockade dose-dependently. Dopamine and serotonin are less potent than lidocaine in inducing spinal nociceptive blockade. When mixed with lidocaine solution, dopamine or serotonin improves spinal motor and nociceptive blockades. The motor and nociceptive blockade caused by lidocaine (ED50) plus dopamine (2.5 μmol) is similar to that caused by lidocaine (ED50) plus epinephrine (1:40000).

Activation of renal vascular smooth muscle TRPV4 channels by 5-hydroxytryptamine impairs kidney function in neonatal pigs. Microvasc Res 2023; 148:104516. [PMID: 36889668 PMCID: PMC10258165 DOI: 10.1016/j.mvr.2023.104516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
Control of microvascular reactivity by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; serotonin) is complex and may depend on vascular bed type and 5-HT receptors. 5-HT receptors consist of seven families (5-HT1-5-HT7), with 5-HT2 predominantly mediating renal vasoconstriction. Cyclooxygenase (COX) and smooth muscle intracellular Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) have been implicated in 5-HT-induced vascular reactivity. Although 5-HT receptor expression and circulating 5-HT levels are known to be dependent on postnatal age, control of neonatal renal microvascular function by 5-HT is unclear. In the present study, we demonstrate that 5-HT stimulated human TRPV4 transiently expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. 5-HT2A is the predominant 5-HT2 receptor subtype in freshly isolated neonatal pig renal microvascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). HC-067047 (HC), a selective TRPV4 blocker, attenuated cation currents induced by 5-HT in the SMCs. HC also inhibited the 5-HT-induced increase in renal microvascular [Ca2+]i and constriction. Intrarenal artery infusion of 5-HT had minimal effects on systemic hemodynamics but reduced renal blood flow (RBF) and increased renal vascular resistance (RVR) in the pigs. Transdermal measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) indicated that kidney infusion of 5-HT reduced GFR. HC and 5-HT2 receptor antagonist ritanserin attenuated 5-HT effects on RBF, RVR, and GFR. Moreover, the serum and urinary COX-1 and COX-2 levels in 5-HT-treated piglets were unchanged compared with the control. These data suggest that activation of renal microvascular SMC TRPV4 channels by 5-HT impairs kidney function in neonatal pigs independently of COX production.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channel is a non-selective cation channel that is mostly permeable to calcium (Ca2+), which participates in intracellular Ca2+ handling in cardiac cells. It is widely expressed through the body and is activated by a large spectrum of physicochemical stimuli, conferring it a role in a variety of sensorial and physiological functions. Within the cardiovascular system, TRPV4 expression is reported in cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs), where it modulates mitochondrial activity, Ca2+ homeostasis, cardiomyocytes electrical activity and contractility, cardiac embryonic development and fibroblast proliferation, as well as vascular permeability, dilatation and constriction. On the other hand, TRPV4 channels participate in several cardiac pathological processes such as the development of cardiac fibrosis, hypertrophy, ischemia-reperfusion injuries, heart failure, myocardial infarction and arrhythmia. In this manuscript, we provide an overview of TRPV4 channel implications in cardiac physiology and discuss the potential of the TRPV4 channel as a therapeutic target against cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
TRP channels are expressed both in vascular myocytes and endothelial cells, but knowledge of their operational mechanisms in vascular tissue is particularly limited. Here, we show for the first time the biphasic contractile reaction with relaxation followed by a contraction in response to TRPV4 agonist, GSK1016790A, in a rat pulmonary artery preconstricted with phenylephrine. Similar responses were observed both with and without endothelium, and these were abolished by the TRPV4 selective blocker, HC067047, confirming the specific role of TRPV4 in vascular myocytes. Using selective blockers of BKCa and L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (CaL), we found that the relaxation phase was inducted by BKCa activation generating STOCs, while subsequent slowly developing TRPV4-mediated depolarisation activated CaL, producing the second contraction phase. These results are compared to TRPM8 activation using menthol in rat tail artery. Activation of both types of TRP channels produces highly similar changes in membrane potential, namely slow depolarisation with concurrent brief hyperpolarisations due to STOCs. We thus propose a general concept of bidirectional TRP-CaL-RyR-BKCa molecular and functional signaloplex in vascular smooth muscles. Accordingly, both TRPV4 and TRPM8 channels enhance local Ca2+ signals producing STOCs via TRP-RyR-BKCa coupling while simultaneously globally engaging BKCa and CaL channels by altering membrane potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ca2+ signals in smooth muscle cells (SMCs) contribute to vascular resistance and control blood pressure. Increased vascular resistance in hypertension has been attributed to impaired SMC Ca2+ signaling mechanisms. In this regard, transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4SMC) ion channels are a crucial Ca2+ entry pathway in SMCs. However, their role in blood pressure regulation has not been identified. METHODS We used SMC-specific TRPV4-/- (TRPV4SMC-/-) mice to assess the role of TRPV4SMC channels in blood pressure regulation. We determined the contribution of TRPV4SMC channels to the constrictor effect of α1 adrenergic receptor (α1AR) stimulation and elevated intraluminal pressure: 2 main physiologic stimuli that constrict resistance-sized arteries. The contribution of spatially separated TRPV4SMC channel subpopulations to elevated blood pressure in hypertension was evaluated in angiotensin II-infused mice and patients with hypertension. RESULTS We provide first evidence that TRPV4SMC channel activity elevates resting blood pressure in normal mice. α1AR stimulation activated TRPV4SMC channels through PKCα (protein kinase Cα) signaling, which contributed significantly to vasoconstriction and blood pressure elevation. Intraluminal pressure-induced TRPV4SMC channel activity opposed vasoconstriction through activation of Ca2+-sensitive K+ (BK) channels, indicating functionally opposite pools of TRPV4SMC channels. Superresolution imaging of SMCs revealed spatially separated α1AR:TRPV4 and TRPV4:BK nanodomains in SMCs. These data suggest that spatially separated α1AR-TRPV4SMC and intraluminal pressure-TRPV4SMC-BK channel signaling have opposite effects on blood pressure, with α1AR-TRPV4SMC signaling dominating under resting conditions. Furthermore, in patients with hypertension and a mouse model of hypertension, constrictor α1AR-PKCα-TRPV4 signaling was upregulated, whereas dilator pressure-TRPV4-BK channel signaling was disrupted, thereby increasing vasoconstriction and elevating blood pressure. CONCLUSIONS Our data identify novel smooth muscle Ca2+-signaling nanodomains that regulate blood pressure and demonstrate their impairment in hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ca2+ influx via TRPV4 channels triggers Ca2+ release from the IP3 -sensitive internal store to generate repetitive oscillations. Although mitochondria are acknowledged regulators of IP3 -mediated Ca2+ release, how TRPV4-mediated Ca2+ signals are regulated by mitochondria is unknown. We show that depolarised mitochondria switch TRPV4 signalling from relying on Ca2+ -induced Ca2+ release at IP3 receptors to being independent of Ca2+ influx and instead mediated by ATP release via pannexins. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH TRPV4-evoked Ca2+ signals were individually examined in hundreds of cells in the endothelium of rat mesenteric resistance arteries using the indicator Cal520. KEY RESULTS TRPV4 activation with GSK1016790A (GSK) generated repetitive Ca2+ oscillations that required Ca2+ influx. However, when the mitochondrial membrane potential was depolarised, by the uncoupler CCCP or complex I inhibitor rotenone, TRPV4 activation generated large propagating, multicellular, Ca2+ waves in the absence of external Ca2+ . The ATP synthase inhibitor oligomycin did not potentiate TRPV4-mediated Ca2+ signals. GSK-evoked Ca2+ waves, when mitochondria were depolarised, were blocked by the TRPV4 channel blocker HC067047, the SERCA inhibitor cyclopiazonic acid, the PLC blocker U73122 and the inositol trisphosphate receptor blocker caffeine. The Ca2+ waves were also inhibited by the extracellular ATP blockers suramin and apyrase and the pannexin blocker probenecid. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS These results highlight a previously unknown role of mitochondria in shaping TRPV4-mediated Ca2+ signalling by facilitating ATP release. When mitochondria are depolarised, TRPV4-mediated release of ATP via pannexin channels activates plasma membrane purinergic receptors to trigger IP3 -evoked Ca2+ release.

Abstract
The alveolo-capillary barrier is relatively impermeable, and facilitates gas exchange via the large alveolar surface in the lung. Disruption of alveolo-capillary barrier leads to accumulation of edema fluid in lung injury. Studies in animal models of various forms of lung injury provide evidence that TRPV4 channels play a critical role in disruption of the alveolo-capillary barrier and pathogenesis of lung injury. TRPV4 channels from capillary endothelial cells, alveolar epithelial cells, and immune cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of lung injury. Recent studies in endothelium-specific TRPV4 knockout mice point to a central role for endothelial TRPV4 channels in lung injury. In this chapter, we review the findings on the pathological roles of endothelial TRPV4 channels in different forms of lung injury and future directions for further investigation.

Abstract
A variety of cell types in pulmonary arteries (endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and smooth muscle cells) are continuously exposed to mechanical stimulations such as shear stress and pulsatile blood pressure, which are altered under conditions of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Most functions of such vascular cells (e.g., contraction, migration, proliferation, production of extracellular matrix proteins, etc.) depend on a key event, i.e., the increase in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) which results from an influx of extracellular Ca2+ and/or a release of intracellular stored Ca2+. Calcium entry from the extracellular space is a major step in the elevation of [Ca2+]i, involving a variety of plasmalemmal Ca2+ channels including the superfamily of stretch-activated channels (SAC). A common characteristic of SAC is that their gating depends on membrane stretch. In general, SAC are non-selective Ca2+-permeable cation channels, including proteins of the TRP (Transient Receptor Potential) and Piezo channel superfamily. As membrane mechano-transducers, SAC convert physical forces into biological signals and hence into a cell response. Consequently, SAC play a major role in pulmonary arterial calcium homeostasis and, thus, appear as potential novel drug targets for a better management of PH.

Abstract
Pannexin 1 (Panx1), an ATP-efflux pathway, has been linked with inflammation in pulmonary capillaries. However, the physiological roles of endothelial Panx1 in the pulmonary vasculature are unknown. Endothelial transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channels lower pulmonary artery (PA) contractility and exogenous ATP activates endothelial TRPV4 channels. We hypothesized that endothelial Panx1–ATP–TRPV4 channel signaling promotes vasodilation and lowers pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP). Endothelial, but not smooth muscle, knockout of Panx1 increased PA contractility and raised PAP in mice. Flow/shear stress increased ATP efflux through endothelial Panx1 in PAs. Panx1-effluxed extracellular ATP signaled through purinergic P2Y2 receptor (P2Y2R) to activate protein kinase Cα (PKCα), which in turn activated endothelial TRPV4 channels. Finally, caveolin-1 provided a signaling scaffold for endothelial Panx1, P2Y2R, PKCα, and TRPV4 channels in PAs, promoting their spatial proximity and enabling signaling interactions. These results indicate that endothelial Panx1–P2Y2R–TRPV4 channel signaling, facilitated by caveolin-1, reduces PA contractility and lowers PAP in mice.

Halofuginone, a promising drug for treatment of pulmonary hypertension. Br J Pharmacol 2021; 178:3373-3394.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Halofuginone is a febrifugine derivative originally isolated from Chinese traditional herb Chang Shan that exhibits anti-hypertrophic, anti-fibrotic and anti-proliferative effects. We sought to investigate whether halofuginone induced pulmonary vasodilation and attenuates chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (HPH). EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Patch-clamp experiments were conducted to examine the activity of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDCCs) in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). Digital fluorescence microscopy was used to measure intracellular Ca2+ concentration in PASMCs. Isolated perfused and ventilated mouse lungs were used to measure pulmonary artery pressure (PAP). Mice exposed to hypoxia (10% O2 ) for 4 weeks were used as model of HPH for in vivo experiments. KEY RESULTS Halofuginone increased voltage-gated K+ (Kv ) currents in PASMCs and K+ currents through KCNA5 channels in HEK cells transfected with KCNA5 gene. HF (0.03-1 μM) inhibited receptor-operated Ca2+ entry in HEK cells transfected with calcium-sensing receptor gene and attenuated store-operated Ca2+ entry in PASMCs. Acute (3-5 min) intrapulmonary application of halofuginone significantly and reversibly inhibited alveolar hypoxia-induced pulmonary vasoconstriction dose-dependently (0.1-10 μM). Intraperitoneal administration of halofuginone (0.3 mg·kg-1 , for 2 weeks) partly reversed established PH in mice. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Halofuginone is a potent pulmonary vasodilator by activating Kv channels and blocking VDCC and receptor-operated and store-operated Ca2+ channels in PASMCs. The therapeutic effect of halofuginone on experimental PH is probably due to combination of its vasodilator effects, via inhibition of excitation-contraction coupling and anti-proliferative effects, via inhibition of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling pathway.

Abstract
As little is known about the role of calcium (Ca2+) signaling mediating the small intestinal epithelial anion secretion, we aimed to study its regulatory role in secretagogue-stimulated duodenal anion secretion and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Therefore, intestinal anion secretion from native mouse duodenal epithelia was examined with Ussing chambers to monitor PGE2-, 5-HT-, and CCh-induced short-circuit currents (Isc). PGE2 (10 μM) and 5-HT (10 μM) induced mouse duodenal Isc, markedly attenuated by serosal Ca2+-free solution and selective blockers of store-operated Ca2+ channels on the serosal side of the duodenum. Furthermore, PGE2- and 5-HT-induced duodenal Isc was also inhibited by ER Ca2+ chelator TPEN. However, dantrolene, a selective blocker of ryanodine receptors, inhibited PGE2-induced duodenal Isc, while LiCl, an inhibitor of IP3 production, inhibited 5-HT-induced Isc. Moreover, duodenal Isc response to the serosal applications of both PGE2 and 5-HT was significantly attenuated in transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) knockout mice. Finally, mucosal application of carbachol (100 μM) also induced duodenal Isc via selective activation of muscarinic receptors, which was significantly inhibited in serosal Ca2+-free solution but neither in mucosal Ca2+-free solution nor by nifedipine. Therefore, the serosal TRPV4-constituted SOCE mechanism is likely universal for the most common and important secretagogues-induced and Ca2+-dependent intestinal anion secretion. These findings will enhance our knowledge about gastrointestinal (G.I.) epithelial physiology and the associated G.I. diseases, such as diarrhea and constipation.

[PMID: 33859334 PMCID: PMC8047529 DOI: 10.1038/s41374-021-00593-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2020] [Revised: 03/12/2021] [Accepted: 03/14/2021] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Endothelial and epithelial cells form physical barriers that modulate the exchange of fluid and molecules. The integrity of these barriers can be influenced by signaling through G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and ion channels. Serotonin (5-HT) is an important vasoactive mediator of tissue edema and inflammation. However, the mechanisms that drive 5-HT-induced plasma extravasation are poorly defined. The Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) ion channel is an established enhancer of signaling by GPCRs that promote inflammation and endothelial barrier disruption. Here, we investigated the role of TRPV4 in 5-HT-induced plasma extravasation using pharmacological and genetic approaches. Activation of either TRPV4 or 5-HT receptors promoted significant plasma extravasation in the airway and upper gastrointestinal tract of mice. 5-HT-mediated extravasation was significantly reduced by pharmacological inhibition of the 5-HT2A receptor subtype, or with antagonism or deletion of TRPV4, consistent with functional interaction between 5-HT receptors and TRPV4. Inhibition of receptors for the neuropeptides substance P (SP) or calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) diminished 5-HT-induced plasma extravasation. Supporting studies assessing treatment of HUVEC with 5-HT, CGRP, or SP was associated with ERK phosphorylation. Exposure to the TRPV4 activator GSK1016790A, but not 5-HT, increased intracellular Ca2+ in these cells. However, 5-HT pre-treatment enhanced GSK1016790A-mediated Ca2+ signaling, consistent with sensitization of TRPV4. The functional interaction was further characterized in HEK293 cells expressing 5-HT2A to reveal that TRPV4 enhances the duration of 5-HT-evoked Ca2+ signaling through a PLA2 and PKC-dependent mechanism. In summary, this study demonstrates that TRPV4 contributes to 5-HT2A-induced plasma extravasation in the airways and upper GI tract, with evidence supporting a mechanism of action involving SP and CGRP release.

Abstract
Recent studies have focused on the contribution of capillary endothelial TRPV4 channels to pulmonary pathologies, including lung edema and lung injury. However, in pulmonary hypertension (PH), small pulmonary arteries are the focus of the pathology, and endothelial TRPV4 channels in this crucial anatomy remain unexplored in PH. Here, we provide evidence that TRPV4 channels in endothelial cell caveolae maintain a low pulmonary arterial pressure under normal conditions. Moreover, the activity of caveolar TRPV4 channels is impaired in pulmonary arteries from mouse models of PH and PH patients. In PH, up-regulation of iNOS and NOX1 enzymes at endothelial cell caveolae results in the formation of the oxidant molecule peroxynitrite. Peroxynitrite, in turn, targets the structural protein caveolin-1 to reduce the activity of TRPV4 channels. These results suggest that endothelial caveolin-1-TRPV4 channel signaling lowers pulmonary arterial pressure, and impairment of endothelial caveolin-1-TRPV4 channel signaling contributes to elevated pulmonary arterial pressure in PH. Thus, inhibiting NOX1 or iNOS activity, or lowering endothelial peroxynitrite levels, may represent strategies for restoring vasodilation and pulmonary arterial pressure in PH.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channels are widely expressed in systemic tissues and can be activated by many stimuli. TRPV4, a Ca2+-permeable cation channel, plays an important role in the vasculature and is implicated in the regulation of cardiovascular homeostasis processes such as blood pressure, vascular remodeling, and pulmonary hypertension and edema. Within the vasculature, TRPV4 channels are expressed in smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, and perivascular nerves. The activation of endothelial TRPV4 contributes to vasodilation involving nitric oxide, prostacyclin, and endothelial-derived hyperpolarizing factor pathways. TRPV4 activation also can directly cause vascular smooth muscle cell hyperpolarization and vasodilation. In addition, TRPV4 activation can evoke constriction in some specific vascular beds or under some pathological conditions. TRPV4 participates in the control of vascular permeability and vascular damage, particularly in the lung capillary endothelial barrier and lung injury. It also participates in vascular remodeling regulation mainly by controlling vasculogenesis and arteriogenesis. This review examines the role of TRPV4 in vascular function, particularly in vascular dilation and constriction, vascular permeability, vascular remodeling, and vascular damage, along with possible mechanisms, and discusses the possibility of targeting TRPV4 for therapy.

Abstract
The contractile state of resistance arteries and arterioles is a crucial determinant of blood pressure and blood flow. Physiological regulation of arterial contractility requires constant communication between endothelial and smooth muscle cells. Various Ca2+ signals and Ca2+ -sensitive targets ensure dynamic control of intercellular communications in the vascular wall. The functional effect of a Ca2+ signal on arterial contractility depends on the type of Ca2+ -sensitive target engaged by that signal. Recent studies using advanced imaging methods have identified the spatiotemporal signatures of individual Ca2+ signals that control arterial and arteriolar contractility. Broadly speaking, intracellular Ca2+ is increased by ion channels and transporters on the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticular membrane. Physiological roles for many vascular Ca2+ signals have already been confirmed, while further investigation is needed for other Ca2+ signals. This article focuses on endothelial and smooth muscle Ca2+ signaling mechanisms in resistance arteries and arterioles. We discuss the Ca2+ entry pathways at the plasma membrane, Ca2+ release signals from the intracellular stores, the functional and physiological relevance of Ca2+ signals, and their regulatory mechanisms. Finally, we describe the contribution of abnormal endothelial and smooth muscle Ca2+ signals to the pathogenesis of vascular disorders. © 2021 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels that are expressed in the kidney have gained prominence in recent years following discoveries of their role in maintaining the integrity of the filtration barrier, regulating tubular reabsorption of Ca2+ and Mg2+, and sensing osmotic stimuli. Furthermore, evidence has linked mutations in TRP channels to kidney disease pathophysiological mechanisms, including focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, disturbances in Mg2+ homeostasis, and polycystic kidney disease. Several subtypes of TRP channels are expressed in the renal vasculature, from preglomerular arteries and arterioles to the descending vasa recta. Although investigations on the physiological and pathological significance of renal vascular TRP channels are sparse, studies on isolated vessels and cells have suggested their involvement in renal vasoregulation. Renal blood flow (RBF) is an essential determinant of kidney function, including glomerular filtration, water and solute reabsorption, and waste product excretion. Functional alterations in ion channels that are expressed in the endothelium and smooth muscle of renal vessels can modulate renal vascular resistance, arterial pressure, and RBF. Hence, renal vascular TRP channels are potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of kidney disease. This review summarizes the current knowledge of TRP channel expression in renal vasculature and their role in controlling kidney function in health and disease. TRP channels are widely distributed in mammalian kidneys in glomerular, tubular, and vascular cells. TRPC and TRPV channels are functionally expressed in afferent arterioles. TRPC4 may regulate Ca2+ signaling in the descending vasa recta. Smooth muscle, endothelial, and pericyte TRP channels may participate in signal transduction mechanisms. TRP channels underlie renal autoregulation and regional kidney perfusion in health and disease.

Abstract
KEY POINTS Trabecular meshwork (TM) is a highly mechanosensitive tissue in the eye that regulates intraocular pressure through the control of aqueous humour drainage. Its dysfunction underlies the progression of glaucoma but neither the mechanisms through which TM cells sense pressure nor their role in aqueous humour outflow are understood at the molecular level. We identified the Piezo1 channel as a key TM transducer of tensile stretch, shear flow and pressure. Its activation resulted in intracellular signals that altered organization of the cytoskeleton and cell-extracellular matrix contacts and modulated the trabecular component of aqueous outflow whereas another channel, TRPV4, mediated a delayed mechanoresponse. This study helps elucidate basic mechanotransduction properties that may contribute to intraocular pressure regulation in the vertebrate eye. ABSTRACT Chronic elevations in intraocular pressure (IOP) can cause blindness by compromising the function of trabecular meshwork (TM) cells in the anterior eye, but how these cells sense and transduce pressure stimuli is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate functional expression of two mechanically activated channels in human TM cells. Pressure-induced cell stretch evoked a rapid increase in transmembrane current that was inhibited by antagonists of the mechanogated channel Piezo1, Ruthenium Red and GsMTx4, and attenuated in Piezo1-deficient cells. The majority of TM cells exhibited a delayed stretch-activated current that was mediated independently of Piezo1 by TRPV4 (transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 4) channels. Piezo1 functions as the principal TM transducer of physiological levels of shear stress, with both shear and the Piezo1 agonist Yoda1 increasing the number of focal cell-matrix contacts. Analysis of TM-dependent fluid drainage from the anterior eye showed significant inhibition by GsMTx4. Collectively, these results suggest that TM mechanosensitivity utilizes kinetically, regulatory and functionally distinct pressure transducers to inform the cells about force-sensing contexts. Piezo1-dependent control of shear flow sensing, calcium homeostasis, cytoskeletal dynamics and pressure-dependent outflow suggests potential for a novel therapeutic target in treating glaucoma.

Abstract
Elevated resistance of pulmonary circulation after chronic hypoxia exposure leads to pulmonary hypertension. Contributing to this pathological process is enhanced pulmonary vasoconstriction through both calcium-dependent and calcium sensitization mechanisms. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), as a result of increased enzymatic production and/or decreased scavenging, participate in augmentation of pulmonary arterial constriction by potentiating calcium influx as well as activation of myofilament sensitization, therefore mediating the development of pulmonary hypertension. Here, we review the effects of chronic hypoxia on sources of ROS within the pulmonary vasculature including NADPH oxidases, mitochondria, uncoupled endothelial nitric oxide synthase, xanthine oxidase, monoamine oxidases and dysfunctional superoxide dismutases. We also summarize the ROS-induced functional alterations of various Ca2+ and K+ channels involved in regulating Ca2+ influx, and of Rho kinase that is responsible for myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity. A variety of antioxidants have been shown to have beneficial therapeutic effects in animal models of pulmonary hypertension, supporting the role of ROS in the development of pulmonary hypertension. A better understanding of the mechanisms by which ROS enhance vasoconstriction will be useful in evaluating the efficacy of antioxidants for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion-induced edema (IRE), one of the most significant causes of mortality after lung transplantation, can be mimicked ex vivo in isolated perfused mouse lungs (IPL). Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is a nonselective cation channel studied in endothelium; however, its role in the lung epithelium remains elusive. Here, we show enhanced IRE in TRPV4-deficient (TRPV4–/–) IPL compared with that of WT controls, indicating a protective role of TRPV4 in maintenance of the alveolar epithelial barrier. By immunohistochemistry, mRNA profiling, and electrophysiological characterization, we detected TRPV4 in bronchial epithelium, alveolar epithelial type I (ATI), and alveolar epithelial type II (ATII) cells. Genetic ablation of TRPV4 resulted in reduced expression of the water-conducting aquaporin-5 (AQP-5) channel in ATI cells. Migration of TRPV4–/– ATI cells was reduced, and cell barrier function was impaired. Analysis of isolated primary TRPV4–/– ATII cells revealed a reduced expression of surfactant protein C, and the TRPV4 activator GSK1016790A induced increases in current densities only in WT ATII cells. Moreover, TRPV4–/– lungs of adult mice developed significantly larger mean chord lengths and altered lung function compared with WT lungs. Therefore, our data illustrate essential functions of TRPV4 channels in alveolar epithelial cells and in protection from edema formation. TRPV4, a non-selective cation channel, is essential for alveolar epithelial function and protects from ischemia-reperfusion-induced lung edema.

Abstract
TRPV4 is a nonselective cationic channel responsive to several physical and chemical stimuli. Defects in TRPV4 channel function result in human diseases, such as skeletal dysplasias, arthropathies, and peripheral neuropathies. Nonetheless, little is known about the role of TRPV4 in other cellular functions, such as nuclear Ca2+ homeostasis or Ca2+ -regulated transcription. Here, we confirmed the presence of the full-length TRPV4 channel in the nuclei of nonpolarized Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. Confocal Ca2+ imaging showed that activation of the channel increases cytoplasmic and nuclear Ca2+ leading to translocation of TRPV4 out of the nucleus together with β-catenin, a transcriptional regulator in the Wnt signaling pathway fundamental in embryogenesis, organogenesis, and cellular homeostasis. TRPV4 inhibits β-catenin transcriptional activity through a direct interaction dependent upon channel activity. This interaction also occurs in undifferentiated osteoblastoma and neuroblastoma cell models. Our results suggest a mechanism in which TRPV4 may regulate differentiation in several cellular contexts.

Abstract
Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction (HPV) is an important physiological mechanism of the lungs that matches perfusion to ventilation thus maximizing O2 saturation of the venous blood within the lungs. This study emphasizes on principal pathways in the initiation and modulation of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction with a primary focus on the role of Ca2+ signaling and Ca2+ influx pathways in hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. We used an ex vivo model, isolated perfused/ventilated mouse lung to evaluate hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. Alveolar hypoxia (utilizing a mini ventilator) rapidly and reversibly increased pulmonary arterial pressure due to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in the isolated perfused/ventilated lung. By applying specific inhibitors for different membrane receptors and ion channels through intrapulmonary perfusion solution in isolated lung, we were able to define the targeted receptors and channels that regulate hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. We show that extracellular Ca2+ or Ca2+ influx through various Ca2+-permeable channels in the plasma membrane is required for hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ abolished hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, while blockade of L-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (with nifedipine), non-selective cation channels (with 30 µM SKF-96365), and TRPC6/TRPV1 channels (with 1 µM SAR-7334 and 30 µM capsazepine, respectively) significantly and reversibly inhibited hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. Furthermore, blockers of Ca2+-sensing receptors (by 30 µM NPS2143, an allosteric Ca2+-sensing receptors inhibitor) and Notch (by 30 µM DAPT, a γ-secretase inhibitor) also attenuated hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. These data indicate that Ca2+ influx in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells through voltage-dependent, receptor-operated, and store-operated Ca2+ entry pathways all contribute to initiation of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. The extracellular Ca2+-mediated activation of Ca2+-sensing receptors and the cell-cell interaction via Notch ligands and receptors contribute to the regulation of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation is a hallmark of obesity-induced hypertension. The recognition that Ca2+ signaling in endothelial cells promotes vasodilation has led to the hypothesis that endothelial Ca2+ signaling is compromised during obesity, but the underlying abnormality is unknown. In this regard, transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) ion channels are a major Ca2+ influx pathway in endothelial cells, and regulatory protein AKAP150 (A-kinase anchoring protein 150) enhances the activity of TRPV4 channels. METHODS We used endothelium-specific knockout mice and high-fat diet-fed mice to assess the role of endothelial AKAP150-TRPV4 signaling in blood pressure regulation under normal and obese conditions. We further determined the role of peroxynitrite, an oxidant molecule generated from the reaction between nitric oxide and superoxide radicals, in impairing endothelial AKAP150-TRPV4 signaling in obesity and assessed the effectiveness of peroxynitrite inhibition in rescuing endothelial AKAP150-TRPV4 signaling in obesity. The clinical relevance of our findings was evaluated in arteries from nonobese and obese individuals. RESULTS We show that Ca2+ influx through TRPV4 channels at myoendothelial projections to smooth muscle cells decreases resting blood pressure in nonobese mice, a response that is diminished in obese mice. Counterintuitively, release of the vasodilator molecule nitric oxide attenuated endothelial TRPV4 channel activity and vasodilation in obese animals. Increased activities of inducible nitric oxide synthase and NADPH oxidase 1 enzymes at myoendothelial projections in obese mice generated higher levels of nitric oxide and superoxide radicals, resulting in increased local peroxynitrite formation and subsequent oxidation of the regulatory protein AKAP150 at cysteine 36, to impair AKAP150-TRPV4 channel signaling at myoendothelial projections. Strategies that lowered peroxynitrite levels prevented cysteine 36 oxidation of AKAP150 and rescued endothelial AKAP150-TRPV4 signaling, vasodilation, and blood pressure in obesity. Peroxynitrite-dependent impairment of endothelial TRPV4 channel activity and vasodilation was also observed in the arteries from obese patients. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that a spatially restricted impairment of endothelial TRPV4 channels contributes to obesity-induced hypertension and imply that inhibiting peroxynitrite might represent a strategy for normalizing endothelial TRPV4 channel activity, vasodilation, and blood pressure in obesity.

Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is a multi-functional non-selective channel expressed in pulmonary vasculatures. TRPV4 contributes to serotonin- (5-HT-) induced pulmonary vasoconstriction and is responsible in part for the enhanced 5-HT response in pulmonary arteries (PAs) of chronic hypoxia mice. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) is an endogenous agonist of TRPV4 and is known to regulate vasoreactivity. The levels of EETs, the expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenase for EET production, and epoxide hydrolase for EET degradation are altered by chronic hypoxia. Here, we examined the role of EET-dependent TRPV4 activation in the 5-HT-mediated PA contraction. In PAs of normoxic mice, inhibition of TRPV4 with a specific inhibitor HC-067047 caused a decrease in the sensitivity of 5-HT-induced PA contraction without affecting the maximal contractile response. Application of the cytochrome P450 epoxygenase inhibitor MS-PPOH had no effect on the vasoreactivity to 5-HT. In contrast, inhibition of CYP epoxygenase or TRPV4 both attenuated the 5-HT-elicited maximal contraction to a comparable level in PAs of chronic hypoxic mice. Moreover, the inhibitory effect of MS-PPOH on the 5-HT-induced contraction was obliterated in PAs of chronic hypoxic trpv4−/− mice. These results suggest that TRPV4 contributes to the enhanced 5-HT-induced vasoconstriction in chronic hypoxic PAs, in part via the CYP-EET-TRPV4 pathway. Our results further support the notion that manipulation of TRPV4 function may offer a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of hypoxia-related pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
Unlike the pulmonary artery (PA), the pathophysiological changes of the pulmonary vein (PV) in the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH) remain largely unknown. In this study, we comprehensively investigated the structural and functional changes in the PV isolated from the chronic hypoxia (CH; 10% O2, 21 days)-induced PH rat model (CHPH). Results showed that CH caused an increase in right ventricular pressure but did not affect the mean pulmonary venous pressure and the left atrial pressure. Similar to the PA, vascular lumen stenosis and medial thickening were also observed in the intrapulmonary veins isolated from the CHPH rats. Notably, CH induced more severe loss in the endothelium of intrapulmonary veins than the arteries. Then, the contractile response to 5-HT and U46619 was significantly greater in the intrapulmonary small veins (ISPV) and arteries (ISPA) isolated from CHPH rats than those from normoxic rats but not in the extrapulmonary and intrapulmonary large veins. Treatment with nifedipine (Nif), SKF96365 (SKF), or ryanodine and caffeine either partially attenuated (Nif) or dramatically abolished (SKF or ryanodine and caffeine) 5-HT-induced maximal contraction in ISPV from both normoxic and CHPH rats. Because of the severe loss of endothelium in the PV of CHPH rats, the decrease in acetylcholine (ACh)-induced endothelium-dependent relaxation was significantly larger in ISPV than ISPA, whereas the sodium nitroprusside-induced endothelium-independent relaxation was not altered in both ISPA and ISPV. In conclusion, our results provide fundamental data to comprehensively define the PV system in CHPH rat model.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial adventitial fibroblasts (PAF), the most abundant cellular constituent of adventitia, act as a key regulator of pulmonary vascular wall structure and function from the outside-in. Previous studies indicate that transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channel plays an important role in the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH), but no attention has been given so far to its role in adventitial remodeling. In this study, we thus investigated TRPV4 implication in PAF activation occurring in PH. First, we isolated and cultured PAF from rat adventitial intrapulmonary artery. RT-PCR, Western blot, immunostaining, and calcium imaging (fluo-4/AM) showed that PAF express functional TRPV4 channels. In extension of these results, using pharmacological and siRNA approaches, we demonstrated TRPV4 involvement in PAF proliferation (BrdU incorporation) and migration (wound-healing assay). Then, Western blot experiments revealed that TRPV4 activation upregulates the expression of extracellular matrix protein synthesis (collagen type I and fibronectin). Finally, we explored the role of TRPV4 in the adventitial remodeling occurring in PH. By means of Western blot, we determined that TRPV4 protein expression was upregulated in adventitia from chronically hypoxic and monocrotaline rats, two animal models of PH. Furthermore, morphometric analysis indicated that adventitial remodeling is attenuated in PH-induced trpv4-/- mice. These data support the concept that PAF play an essential role in hypertensive pulmonary vascular remodeling and point out the participation of TRPV4 channel activity in PAF activation leading to excessive adventitial remodeling.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a morbid disease characterized by progressive right ventricle (RV) failure due to elevated pulmonary artery pressures (PAP). In PAH, histologically complex vaso-occlusive lesions in the pulmonary vasculature contribute to elevated PAP. However, the mechanisms underlying dysfunction of the microvascular endothelial cells (MVECs) that comprise a significant portion of these lesions are not well understood. We recently showed that MVECs isolated from the Sugen/hypoxia (SuHx) rat experimental model of PAH (SuHx-MVECs) exhibit increases in migration/proliferation, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS; mtROS) production, intracellular calcium levels ([Ca2+]i), and mitochondrial fragmentation. Furthermore, quenching mtROS with the targeted antioxidant MitoQ attenuated basal [Ca2+]i, migration and proliferation; however, whether increased mtROS-induced [Ca2+]i entry affected mitochondrial morphology was not clear. In this study, we sought to better understand the relationship between increased ROS, [Ca2+]i, and mitochondrial morphology in SuHx-MVECs. We measured changes in mitochondrial morphology at baseline and following inhibition of mtROS, with the targeted antioxidant MitoQ, or transient receptor potential vanilloid-4 (TRPV4) channels, which we previously showed were responsible for mtROS-induced increases in [Ca2+]i in SuHx-MVECs. Quenching mtROS or inhibiting TRPV4 attenuated fragmentation in SuHx-MVECs. Conversely, inducing mtROS production in MVECs from normoxic rats (N-MVECs) increased fragmentation. Ca2+ entry induced by the TRPV4 agonist GSK1017920A was significantly increased in SuHx-MVECs and was attenuated with MitoQ treatment, indicating that mtROS contributes to increased TRPV4 activity in SuHx-MVECs. Basal and maximal respiration were depressed in SuHx-MVECs, and inhibiting mtROS, but not TRPV4, improved respiration in these cells. Collectively, our data show that, in SuHx-MVECs, mtROS production promotes TRPV4-mediated increases in [Ca2+]i, mitochondrial fission, and decreased mitochondrial respiration. These results suggest an important role for mtROS in driving MVEC dysfunction in PAH.

Abstract
Significance: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is characterized by elevated vascular resistance due to vasoconstriction and remodeling of the normally low-pressure pulmonary vasculature. Redox stress contributes to the pathophysiology of this disease by altering the regulation and activity of membrane receptors, K+ channels, and intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis. Recent Advances: Antioxidant therapies have had limited success in treating PH, leading to a growing appreciation that reductive stress, in addition to oxidative stress, plays a role in metabolic and cell signaling dysfunction in pulmonary vascular cells. Reactive oxygen species generation from mitochondria and NADPH oxidases has substantial effects on K+ conductance and membrane potential, and both receptor-operated and store-operated Ca2+ entry. Critical Issues: Some specific redox changes resulting from oxidation, S-nitrosylation, and S-glutathionylation are known to modulate membrane receptor and ion channel activity in PH. However, many sites of regulation that have been elucidated in nonpulmonary cell types have not been tested in the pulmonary vasculature, and context-specific molecular mechanisms are lacking. Future Directions: Here, we review what is known about redox regulation of membrane receptors and ion channels in PH. Further investigation of the mechanisms involved is needed to better understand the etiology of PH and develop better targeted treatment strategies.

Abstract
Small arteries in the body control vascular resistance, and therefore, blood pressure and blood flow. Endothelial and smooth muscle cells in the arterial walls respond to various stimuli by altering the vascular resistance on a moment to moment basis. Smooth muscle cells can directly influence arterial diameter by contracting or relaxing, whereas endothelial cells that line the inner walls of the arteries modulate the contractile state of surrounding smooth muscle cells. Cytosolic calcium is a key driver of endothelial and smooth muscle cell functions. Cytosolic calcium can be increased either by calcium release from intracellular stores through IP3 or ryanodine receptors, or the influx of extracellular calcium through ion channels at the cell membrane. Depending on the cell type, spatial localization, source of a calcium signal, and the calcium-sensitive target activated, a particular calcium signal can dilate or constrict the arteries. Calcium signals in the vasculature can be classified into several types based on their source, kinetics, and spatial and temporal properties. The calcium signaling mechanisms in smooth muscle and endothelial cells have been extensively studied in the native or freshly isolated cells, therefore, this review is limited to the discussions of studies in native or freshly isolated cells. This article is categorized under: Biological Mechanisms > Cell Signaling Laboratory Methods and Technologies > Imaging Models of Systems Properties and Processes > Mechanistic Models.

Abstract
Renal vasoconstriction, an early manifestation of ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI), results in renal hypoperfusion and a rapid decline in kidney function. The pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie ischemia-reperfusion (IR)-induced renal insufficiency are poorly understood, but possibilities include alterations in ion channel-dependent renal vasoregulation. In the present study, we show that pharmacological activation of TRPV4 channels constricted preglomerular microvessels and elicited renal hypoperfusion in neonatal pigs. Bilateral renal ischemia followed by short-term reperfusion increased TRPV4 protein expression in resistance size renal vessels and TRPV4-dependent cation currents in renal vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Selective TRPV4 channel blockers attenuated IR-induced reduction in total renal blood flow (RBF), cortical perfusion, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). TRPV4 inhibition also diminished renal IR-induced increase in AKI biomarkers. Furthermore, the level of angiotensin II (Ang II) was higher in the urine of IR- compared with sham-operated neonatal pigs. IR did not alter renal vascular expression of Ang II type 1 (AT1) receptors. However, losartan, a selective AT1 receptor antagonist, ameliorated IR-induced renal insufficiency in the pigs. Blockade of TRPV4 channels attenuated Ang II-evoked receptor-operated Ca2+ entry and constriction in preglomerular microvessels. TRPV4 inhibition also blunted Ang II-induced increase in renal vascular resistance (RVR) and hypoperfusion in the pigs. Together, our data suggest that SMC TRPV4-mediated renal vasoconstriction and the ensuing increase in RVR contribute to early hypoperfusion and renal insufficiency elicited by renal IR in neonatal pigs. We propose that multimodal signaling by renal vascular SMC TRPV4 channels controls neonatal renal microcirculation in health and disease.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the analgesic effects of adding serotonin to oxybuprocaine or proxymetacaine preparations. We employed a rat model of the cutaneous trunci muscle reflex (CTMR) to conduct the dose-response curves and duration of drugs (oxybuprocaine, proxymetacaine, or serotonin) as an infiltrative anesthetic. The use of isobolographic methods to analyze the drug-drug interactions. We showed that oxybuprocaine and proxymetacaine, as well as serotonin produced dose-dependent skin antinociception. On the basis of 50% effective dose (ED50), the rank order of drug potency was serotonin [7.22 (6.45-8.09) μmol/kg] < oxybuprocaine [1.03 (0.93-1.15) μmol/kg] < proxymetacaine [0.59 (0.53-0.66) μmol/kg] (P < 0.01 for each comparison). The sensory block duration of serotonin was longer (P < 0.01) than that of oxybuprocaine or proxymetacaine at the equipotent doses (ED25, ED50, and ED75). The mixture of serotonin with oxybuprocaine or proxymetacaine produced a better analgesic effect than the drug itself. We have concluded that oxybuprocaine, proxymetacaine, or serotonin displays dose-related cutaneous analgesia. Oxybuprocaine or proxymetacaine is more potent and has a shorter duration of cutaneous analgesia than serotonin. Serotonin produces a synergistic antinociceptive interaction with oxybuprocaine or proxymetacaine.

Abstract
The lungs are essential for gas exchange and serve as the gateways of our body to the external environment. They are easily accessible for drugs from both sides, the airways and the vasculature. Recent literature provides evidence for a role of Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels as chemosensors and essential members of signal transduction cascades in stress-induced cellular responses. This review will focus on TRP channels (TRPA1, TRPC6, TRPV1, and TRPV4), predominantly expressed in non-neuronal lung tissues and their involvement in pathways associated with diseases like asthma, cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung fibrosis, and edema formation. Recently identified specific modulators of these channels and their potential as new therapeutic options as well as strategies for a causal treatment based on the mechanistic understanding of molecular events will also be evaluated.

PURPOSE Previous reports have shown that hyperglycemia-induced inhibition of transient receptor potential vanilloid sub type 4 (TRPV4), a transient receptor potential ion channel, affects the severity of hearing impairment (HI). In this study, we explored the role of TRPV4 in HI using HEI-OC1 cells exposed to high glucose (HG). MATERIALS AND METHODS HEI-OC1 cells were cultured in a HG environment (25 mM D-glucose) for 48 hours, and qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to analyze the expression of TRPV4 at the mRNA and protein level. TRPV4 agonist (GSK1016790A) or antagonist (HC-067047) in cultured HEI-OC1 cells was used to obtain abnormal TRPV4 expression. Functional TRPV4 activity was assessed in cultured HEI-OC1 cells using the MTT assay and a cell death detection ELISA. RESULTS TRPV4 agonists exerted protective effects against HG-induced HI, as evidenced by increased MTT levels and inhibition of apoptosis in HEI-OC1 cells. TRPV4 overexpression significantly increased protein levels of phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-p38 MAPK), while TRPV4 antagonists had the opposite effect. Our results indicated that TRPV4 is a hyperglycemia-related factor that can inhibit cell proliferation and promote cell apoptosis by activating the MAPK signaling pathway in HEI-OC1 cells. CONCLUSION Our results show that the overexpression of TRPV4 can attenuate cell death in HEI-OC1 cells exposed to HG.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a multifactorial and severe disease without curative therapies. PAH pathobiology involves altered pulmonary arterial tone, endothelial dysfunction, distal pulmonary vessel remodeling, and inflammation, which could all depend on ion channel activities (K⁺, Ca2+, Na⁺ and Cl-). This review focuses on ion channels in the pulmonary vasculature and discusses their pathophysiological contribution to PAH as well as their therapeutic potential in PAH.

Abstract
Aims Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) redistributes blood flow from poorly ventilated to better aerated areas in the lung, thereby optimizing ventilation-perfusion ratio (V/Q). Pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) contraction in response to hypoxia is triggered by Ca2+ influx via transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6) cation channels that have translocated to caveolae in the plasma membrane. Since phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) was suggested to regulate TRPC6 in endothelial cells, we aimed to define its role in the hypoxic response of PASMCs and as a putative mediator of HPV. Methods and results In isolated perfused mouse lungs, smooth muscle specific PTEN deficiency attenuated pulmonary vasoconstriction in response to hypoxia but not to angiotensin II (Ang II). Analogously, siRNA-mediated knock down of PTEN in human PASMC inhibited the hypoxia-induced increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). Co-immunoprecipitation and proximity ligation assays revealed increased interaction of PTEN with TRPC6 in human PASMC and murine lungs in response to hypoxia. In hypoxic PASMC, both PTEN and TRPC6 translocated to caveolae, and this response was blocked by pharmacological inhibition of Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) which in parallel prevented PTEN-TRPC6 interaction, hypoxia-induced [Ca2+]i increase, and HPV in PASMC and murine lungs, respectively. Conclusion Our data indicate a novel interplay between ROCK and [Ca2+]i signalling in HPV via PTEN, in that ROCK mediates interaction of PTEN and TRPC6 which then conjointly translocate to caveolae allowing for Ca2+ influx into and subsequent contraction of PASMC.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to better understand the role of TRPV4 in the regulation of blood vessel dilatation by blood flow and activation of GPCRs. Using pressure myography, the dilator responses to the TRPV4 agonist GSK1016790A and to acetylcholine, were examined in rat cremaster arterioles exposed to either no shear stress or to 200 μl/min flow for 6 min. In control vessels GSK1016709A caused vasodilatation (pEC50 7.73 ± 0.12 M, ΔDmax 97 ± 3%) which was significantly attenuated by the TRPV4 antagonists GSK2193874 (100 nM) (pEC50 6.19 ± 0.11 M, p < 0.05) and HC067047 (300 nM) (pEC50 6.44 ± 0.12 M) and abolished by removal of the endothelium. Shear conditioned arterioles were significantly more sensitive to GSK1016790A (pEC50 8.34 ± 0.11, p < 0.05). Acetylcholine-induced vasodilatation (pEC50 7.02 ± 0.07 M, ΔDmax 93 ± 2%) was not affected by shear forces (pEC50 7.08 ± 0.07 M, ΔDmax 95 ± 1%). The dilator response to acetylcholine was unaffected by the TRPV4 antagonist GSK2193874 in control arterioles (pEC50 7.24 ± 0.07 M, ΔDmax 97 ± 2%). However, in shear treated arterioles, the acetylcholine-response was significantly attenuated by GSK2193874 (pEC50 6.25 ± 0.12 M, p < 0.05) indicating an induced interaction between TRPV4 and muscarinic receptors. TRPV4 antibodies localized TRPV4 to the endothelium and shear stress had no effect on its localisation. Finally, agonist activation of the M3 muscarinic receptor opened TRPV4 in HEK293 cells. We concluded that shear stress increases endothelial TRPV4 agonist sensitivity and links TRPV4 activation to muscarinic receptor mediated endothelium-dependent vasodilatation, providing strong evidence that blood flow modulates downstream signalling from at least one but not all GPCRs expressed in the endothelium.

Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin-8 Activation Induces Relaxation of Pulmonary Artery by Inhibition of Store-Operated Calcium Entry in Normoxic and Chronic Hypoxic Pulmonary Hypertensive Rats.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is characterized by enhanced vasoconstriction and vascular remodeling, which are attributable to the alteration of Ca2+ homeostasis in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). It is well established that store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is augmented in PASMCs during PH and that it plays a crucial role in PH development. Our previous studies showed that the melastatin-related transient receptor potential 8 (TRPM8) is down-regulated in PASMCs of PH animal models, and activation of TRPM8 causes relaxation of pulmonary arteries (PAs). However, the mechanism of TRPM8-induced PA relaxation is unclear. Here we examined the interaction of TRPM8 and SOCE in PAs and PASMCs of normoxic and chronic hypoxic pulmonary hypertensive (CHPH) rats, a model of human group 3 PH. We found that TRPM8 was down-regulated and TRPM8-mediated cation entry was reduced in CHPH-PASMCs. Activation of TRPM8 with icilin caused concentration-dependent relaxation of cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) and endothelin-1 contracted endothelium-denuded PAs, and the effect was abolished by the SOCE antagonist Gd3+ Application of icilin to PASMCs suppressed CPA-induced Mn2+ quenching and Ca2+ entry, which was reversed by the TRPM8 antagonist N-(3-aminopropyl)-2-([(3-methylphenyl)methyl])-oxy-N-(2-thienylmethyl)benzamide hydrochloride salt (AMTB). Moreover, the inhibitory effects of icilin on SOCE in PA and PASMCs of CHPH rats were significantly augmented due to enhanced SOCE activity in PH. Our results, therefore, demonstrated a novel mechanism of TRPM8-mediated inhibition of SOCE in pulmonary vasculature. Because SOCE is important for vascular remodeling and enhanced vasoconstriction, down-regulation of TRPM8 in PASMCs of CHPH rats may minimize its inhibitory influence to allow unimpeded SOCE activity for PH development.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to investigate the role of mechanosensitive TRPV4 channels in the regulation of rat pulmonary artery smooth muscle (PASM) contractile activity induced by the activation of α-adrenoceptors and the possibility of their use as novel pharmacological targets in pulmonary hypertension. TRPV4 selective agonist, GSK1016790A, in the presence of the agonist of α-adrenoceptors phenylephrine (PhE) evoked biphasic contractile reaction with initial relaxation (63,5% ± 7,1) followed by significant vasoconstriction (142% ± 17,9). GSK1016790A evoked similar effects in PASM rings with and without endothelium, indicating that its main site of action was TRPV4 expressed in smooth muscle cells. TRPV4 selective blocker, HC-067047, completely inhibited the effects of GSK1016790A confirming the specific role of TRPV4 in these vascular responses. Application of Ca2+-free external solution reduced the relaxation phase and completely abolished the sustained contractile response to GSK1016790A (from 43,9 % to 0,3 %). The biphasic reaction could be explained as an initial calcium store depletion by PhE and further calciuminduced calcium release activated by TRPV4 that causes BKCa activation, membrane hyperpolarisation and vasorelaxation, followed by Ca2+ entry via TRPV4 and contraction. We conclude that TRPV4 channels play an important role in the regulation of the adrenergic vascular tone of PASM cells, but TRPV4 activation mechanism(s) and signaling pathways remain unclear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this experiment was to investigate a long-lasting local anesthetic bupivacaine combined with serotonin at inducing cutaneous antinociception. METHODS The skin antinociception, characterized by an inhibition of the cutaneous trunci muscle reflex (CTMR) following the pinprick on the dorsal skin of rats, was evaluated. The cutaneous antinociceptive effects of bupivacaine alone, serotonin alone, or bupivacaine co-injected with serotonin in a dose-dependent fashion were constructed, while the drug-drug interactions were evaluated by isobologram. RESULTS Subcutaneous serotonin, as well as the local anesthetic bupivacaine provoked dose-related cutaneous antinociception. On an equipotent basis (50% effective dose [ED50]), the relative potency was bupivacaine (0.43 [0.37-0.50] μmol)>serotonin (1.27 [1.15-1.40] μmol) (p<0.01). At the equi-anesthetic doses (ED75, ED50 and ED25), the duration of bupivacaine was similar to that of serotonin at producing cutaneous antinociceptive effects. Co-administration of bupivacaine and serotonin displayed a synergistic antinociception. CONCLUSIONS The preclinical data demonstrated that serotonin is less potent in eliciting cutaneous antinociceptive effects but has the similar duration of action, compared with bupivacaine. We also found a more significant depth of the sensory block with bupivacaine+serotonin than bupivacaine alone.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is highly expressed in heart and vessels and can be activated during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Recently, we found that treatment with a selective TRPV4 antagonist HC-067047 significantly reduced infarct size, decreased troponin T levels and improved cardiac function in murine model myocardial I/R. This study was undertaken to investigate the mechanism underlying TRPV4-mediated myocardial I/R injury. To mimic myocardial I/R injury, we established a hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model in H9C2 cells and neonatal rat ventricle myocytes (NRVMs) in vitro. TRPV4 mRNA and protein expression was confirmed in the H9C2 and NRVM, whereas functional TRPV4 activity was assessed from Ca2+ influx response to a TRPV4 agonist GSK1016790A. TRPV4 functional expression was significantly enhanced during H/R. Furthermore, H/R increased the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and induced cell injury, which were reversed by HC-067047 but was further aggravated by GSK1016790A. Moreover, HC-067047 treatment significantly alleviated the increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, the depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) and the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) during H/R. On the contrary, GSK1016790A exacerbated those effects. Meanwhile, increase in [Ca2+]i and ROS induced by activation of TRPV4 was almost abolished when cells were cultured in Ca2+-free medium. In addition, ROS scavenger NAC obviously reversed activation of TRPV4-induced changes of Δψm and mPTP opening. Finally, we confirmed the direct roles of TRPV4 on cardiac injury and ROS generation in murine model myocardial I/R in vivo. In conclusion, activation of TRPV4 induces Ca2+ influx in cardiomyocytes, with subsequent ROS release, depolarizing of Δψm, opening mPTP, inducing injury and TRPV4 has key roles during I/R via these pathways.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 4 (TRPV4) is a calcium-permeable nonselective cation channel, originally described in 2000 by research teams led by Schultz (Nat Cell Biol 2: 695-702, 2000) and Liedtke (Cell 103: 525-535, 2000). TRPV4 is now recognized as being a polymodal ionotropic receptor that is activated by a disparate array of stimuli, ranging from hypotonicity to heat and acidic pH. Importantly, this ion channel is constitutively expressed and capable of spontaneous activity in the absence of agonist stimulation, which suggests that it serves important physiological functions, as does its widespread dissemination throughout the body and its capacity to interact with other proteins. Not surprisingly, therefore, it has emerged more recently that TRPV4 fulfills a great number of important physiological roles and that various disease states are attributable to the absence, or abnormal functioning, of this ion channel. Here, we review the known characteristics of this ion channel's structure, localization and function, including its activators, and examine its functional importance in health and disease.

Abstract
The lungs as the gateways of our body to the external environment are essential for gas exchange. They are also exposed to toxicants from two sides, the airways and the vasculature. Apart from naturally produced toxic agents, millions of human made chemicals were produced since the beginning of the industrial revolution whose toxicity still needs to be determined. While the knowledge about toxic substances is increasing only slowly, a paradigm shift regarding the proposed mechanisms of toxicity at the plasma membrane emerged. According to their broad-range chemical reactivity, the mechanism of lung injury evoked by these agents has long been described as rather unspecific. Consequently, therapeutic options are still restricted to symptomatic treatment. The identification of molecular down-stream effectors in cells was a major step forward in the mechanistic understanding of the action of toxic chemicals and will pave the way for more causal and specific toxicity testing as well as therapeutic options. In this context, the involvement of Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels as chemosensors involved in the detection and effectors of toxicant action is an attractive concept intensively discussed in the scientific community. In this review we will summarize recent evidence for an involvement of TRP channels (TRPA1, TRPC4, TRPC6, TRPV1, TRPV4, TRPM2 and TRPM8) expressed in the lung in pathways of toxin sensing and as mediators of lung inflammation and associated diseases like asthma, COPD, lung fibrosis and edema formation. Specific modulators of these channels may offer new therapeutic options in the future and will endorse strategies for a causal, specifically tailored treatment based on the mechanistic understanding of molecular events induced by lung-toxic agents.

Abstract
Vascular tone of resistance arteries and arterioles determines peripheral vascular resistance, contributing to the regulation of blood pressure and blood flow to, and within the body's tissues and organs. Ion channels in the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in these blood vessels importantly contribute to the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration, the primary determinant of SMC contractile activity and vascular tone. Ion channels provide the main source of activator Ca2+ that determines vascular tone, and strongly contribute to setting and regulating membrane potential, which, in turn, regulates the open-state-probability of voltage gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs), the primary source of Ca2+ in resistance artery and arteriolar SMCs. Ion channel function is also modulated by vasoconstrictors and vasodilators, contributing to all aspects of the regulation of vascular tone. This review will focus on the physiology of VGCCs, voltage-gated K+ (KV) channels, large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels, strong-inward-rectifier K+ (KIR) channels, ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels, ryanodine receptors (RyRs), inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs), and a variety of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels that contribute to pressure-induced myogenic tone in resistance arteries and arterioles, the modulation of the function of these ion channels by vasoconstrictors and vasodilators, their role in the functional regulation of tissue blood flow and their dysfunction in diseases such as hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. © 2017 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
A novel series of (6-aminopyridin-3-yl)(4-(pyridin-2-yl)piperazin-1-yl) methanone derivatives were identified as selective transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channel antagonist and showed analgesic effect in Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA) induced mechanical hyperalgesia model in guinea pig and rat. Modification of right part based on the compound 16d which was disclosed in our previous communication led to the identification of compound 26i as a flagship compound. In this paper, we described the details about design, synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis at right and left part of these derivatives (Fig. 1).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the interactions of the local anesthetic lidocaine combined with an agent (serotonin or dopamine) as infiltrative anesthetics. METHODS Cutaneous analgesia was characterized by the blockade of the cutaneous trunci muscle reflex following 6 skin pinpricks on the rat back. Serotonin or dopamine at producing cutaneous analgesia in a dosage-dependent fashion was compared with lidocaine. Drug-drug interactions were calculated using the isobolographic analysis. RESULTS We revealed that serotonin, dopamine, and lidocaine provoked dose-related cutaneous analgesic effects. On the 50% effective dose basis, the rank of drugs' potency was found to be serotonin (1.70 [1.56-1.85] μmol) > lidocaine (5.18 [4.67-5.75] μmol) > dopamine (43.0 [40.9-45.2] μmol) (P < 0.01). At doses equivalent to their 25%, 50%, and 75% effective doses, serotonin or dopamine elicited a longer duration of action than lidocaine (P < 0.01) on producing cutaneous analgesia. Coadministration of serotonin or dopamine with lidocaine produced a synergistic effect. CONCLUSIONS The preclinical data showed that serotonin and dopamine produce dose-related cutaneous analgesic effects as an infiltrative anesthetic. Serotonin has a better potency with a much longer duration of action compared with lidocaine at provoking cutaneous analgesia. Serotonin or dopamine as an adjuvant increases the quality of lidocaine in cutaneous analgesia.

Abstract
It has been suggested that the transient receptor potential cation (TRP) channel subfamily V (vanilloid) type 4 (TRPV4) and intermediate conductance calcium-activated potassium (KCa3.1) channels contribute to endothelium-dependent vasodilation. Here, we summarize very recent evidence for a synergistic interplay of TRPV4 and KCa3.1 channels in lung disease. Among the endothelial Ca2+ -permeable TRPs, TRPV4 is best characterized and produces arterial dilation by stimulating Ca2+ -dependent nitric oxide synthesis and endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization. Besides these roles, some TRP channels control endothelial/epithelial barrier functions and vascular integrity, while KCa3.1 channels provide the driving force required for Cl- and water transport in some cells and most secretory epithelia. The three conditions, increased pulmonary venous pressure caused by left heart disease, high inflation pressure and chemically induced lung injury, may lead to activation of TRPV4 channels followed by Ca2+ influx leading to activation of KCa3.1 channels in endothelial cells ultimately leading to acute lung injury. We find that a deficiency in KCa3.1 channels protects against TRPV4-induced pulmonary arterial relaxation, fluid extravasation, haemorrhage, pulmonary circulatory collapse and cardiac arrest in vivo. These data identify KCa3.1 channels as crucial molecular components in downstream TRPV4 signal transduction and as a potential target for the prevention of undesired fluid extravasation, vasodilatation and pulmonary circulatory collapse.
