Abstract
The transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels are a group of highly homologous nonselective cation channels from the larger TRP channel family. They have the ability to form homo- and heteromers with varying degrees of calcium (Ca2+) permeability and signalling properties. TRPC5 is the one coldsensitive among them and likewise facilitates the influx of extracellular Ca2+ into cells to modulate neuronal depolarization and integrate various intracellular signalling pathways. Recent research with cryo-electron microscopy revealed its structure, along with clear insight into downstream signalling and protein-protein interaction sites. Investigations using global and conditional deficient mice revealed the involvement of TRPC5 in metabolic diseases, energy balance, thermosensation and conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory pain including opioid-induced hyperalgesia and hyperalgesia following tooth decay and pulpitis. This review provides an update on recent advances in our understanding of the role of TRPC5 with focus on metabolic diseases and pain.

Abstract
GPCR-Gi protein pathways are involved in the regulation of vagus muscarinic pathway under physiological conditions and are closely associated with the regulation of internal visceral organs. The muscarinic receptor-operated cationic channel is important in GPCR-Gi protein signal transduction as it decreases heart rate and increases GI rhythm frequency. In the SA node of the heart, acetylcholine binds to the M2 receptor and the released Gβγ activates GIRK (I(K,ACh)) channel, inducing a negative chronotropic action. In gastric smooth muscle, there are two muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) subtypes, M2 and M3. M2 receptor activates the muscarinic receptor-operated nonselective cationic current (mIcat, NSCC(ACh)) and induces positive chronotropic effect. Meanwhile, M3 receptor induces hydrolysis of PIP2 and releases DAG and IP3. This IP3 increases intracellular Ca2+ and then leads to contraction of GI smooth muscles. The activation of mIcat is inhibited by anti-Gi/o protein antibodies in GI smooth muscle, indicating the involvement of Gαi/o protein in the activation of mIcat. TRPC4 channel is a molecular candidate for mIcat and can be directly activated by constitutively active Gαi QL proteins. TRPC4 and TRPC5 belong to the same subfamily and both are activated by Gi/o proteins. Initial studies suggested that the binding sites for G protein exist at the rib helix or the CIRB domain of TRPC4/5 channels. However, recent cryo-EM structure showed that IYY58-60 amino acids at ARD of TRPC5 binds with Gi3 protein. Considering the expression of TRPC4/5 in the brain, the direct G protein activation on TRPC4/5 is important in terms of neurophysiology. TRPC4/5 channels are also suggested as a coincidence detector for Gi and Gq pathway as Gq pathway increases intracellular Ca2+ and the increased Ca2+ facilitates the activation of TRPC4/5 channels. More complicated situation would occur when GIRK, KCNQ2/3 (IM) and TRPC4/5 channels are co-activated by stimulation of muscarinic receptors at the acetylcholine-releasing nerve terminals. This review highlights the effects of GPCR-Gi protein pathway, including dopamine, μ-opioid, serotonin, glutamate, GABA, on various oragns, and it emphasizes the importance of considering TRPC4/5 channels as crucial players in the field of neuroscience.

Abstract
The effect of phenylephrine (PE) on right ventricle papillary muscle (PM) and aortic segment (AS) contractile activity was studied in long-tailed ground squirrels Urocitellus undulatus during summer activity, torpor and interbout active (IBA) periods in comparison to rat. We found that PE (10 μM) exerts positive inotropic effect on ground squirrel PM that was blocked by α1-AR inhibitor-prazosin. PE differently affected frequency dependence of PM contraction in ground squirrels and rats. PE significantly increased the force of PM contraction in summer and hibernating ground squirrels including both torpor and IBA predominantly at the range of low stimulation frequencies (0.003-0.1 Hz), while in rat PM it was evident only at high stimulation frequency range (0.2-1.0 Hz). Further, it was found that PE vasoconstrictor effect on AS contractility is significantly higher in ground squirrels of torpid state compared to IBA and summer periods. Overall vasoconstrictor effect of PE was significantly higher in AS of ground squirrels of all periods compared to rats. Positive inotropic effect of PE on PM along with its vasoconstrictor effect on AS of ground squirrels was not affected by pretreatment with inhibitors of L-type Ca2+ channels, or Na+/Ca2+ exchanger or Ca2+-ATPase but was completely blocked by an inhibitor of store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE)-2-APB, suggesting the involvement of SOCE in the mechanisms underlying PE action on ground squirrel cardiovascular system. Obtained results support an idea about the significant role of alpha1-AR in adaptive mechanisms critical for the maintaining of cardiovascular contractile function in long-tailed ground squirrel Urocitellus undulatus.

Abstract
TRPC5 channels are nonselective cation channels activated by G-protein-coupled receptors. It was previously found that recombinant TRPC5 currents are inhibited by intracellular ATP, when studied by whole-cell patch-clamp recording. In the present study, we investigated the mechanism of ATP inhibition at the single-channel level using patches from HEK-293 cells transiently transfected with TRPC5 and the M1 muscarinic receptor. In inside-out patches, application of ATP to the intracellular face of the membrane reduced TRPC5 channel activity at both positive and negative potentials without affecting the unitary current amplitude or open dwell time of the channel. The effect of ATP was rapidly reversible. These results suggest that ATP may bind to the channel protein and affect the ability of the channel to open or to remain in an open, nondesensitized state. The activity of TRPC5 channels may be influenced by cellular metabolism via changes in ATP levels.

Abstract
Lipid oxidation products, including lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC), activate canonical transient receptor potential 6 (TRPC6) channels, and the subsequent increase in intracellular Ca2+ leads to TRPC5 activation. The goal of this study is to elucidate the steps in the pathway between TRPC6 activation and TRPC5 externalization. Following TRPC6 activation by lysoPC, extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) is phosphorylated. This leads to phosphorylation of p47phox and subsequent NADPH oxidase activation with increased production of reactive oxygen species. ERK activation requires TRPC6 opening and influx of Ca2+ as evidenced by the failure of lysoPC to induce ERK phosphorylation in TRPC6-/- endothelial cells. ERK siRNA blocks the lysoPC-induced activation of NADPH oxidase, demonstrating that ERK activation is upstream of NADPH oxidase. The reactive oxygen species produced by NADPH oxidase promote myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) activation with phosphorylation of MLC and TRPC5 externalization. Downregulation of ERK, NADPH oxidase, or MLCK with the relevant siRNA prevents TRPC5 externalization. Blocking MLCK activation prevents the prolonged rise in intracellular calcium levels and preserves endothelial migration in the presence of lysoPC.

Abstract
Conflicting evidence has been obtained regarding whether transient receptor potential cation channels (TRPC) are store-operated channels (SOCs) or receptor-operated channels (ROCs). Moreover, the Ca/Na permeability ratio differs depending on whether the current-voltage (I-V) curve has a doubly rectifying shape or inward rectifying shape. To investigate the calcium permeability of TRPC4 channels, we attached GCaMP6s to TRPC4 and simultaneously measured the current and calcium signals. A TRPC4 specific activator, (–)-englerin A, induced both current and calcium fluorescence with the similar time course. Muscarinic receptor stimulator, carbachol, also induced both current and calcium fluorescence with the similar time course. By forming heteromers with TRPC4, TRPC1 significantly reduced the inward current with outward rectifying I-V curve, which also caused the decrease of calcium fluorescence intensity. These results suggest that GCaMP6s attached to TRPC4 can detect slight calcium changes near TRPC4 channels. Consequently, TRPC4-GCaMP6s can be a useful tool for testing the calcium permeability of TRPC4 channels.

Abstract
Smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) plays a crucial role in artery contraction, which regulates blood pressure and blood flow distribution. In addition to this role, MLCK contributes to Ca(2+) flux regulation in vascular smooth muscle (VSM) and in non-muscle cells, where cytoskeleton has been suggested to help Ca(2+) channels trafficking. This conclusion is based on the use of pharmacological inhibitors of MLCK and molecular and cellular techniques developed to down-regulate the enzyme. Dissimilarities have been observed between cells and whole tissues, as well as between large conductance and small resistance arteries. A differential expression in MLCK and ion channels (either voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels or non-selective cationic channels) could account for these observations, and is in line with the functional properties of the arteries. A potential involvement of MLCK in the pathways modulating Ca(2+) entry in VSM is described in the present review.

Abstract
TPRC channels are Ca(2+)-permeable, nonselective cation channels that are activated by a wide variety of stimuli, including G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). TRPC4 is commonly assumed to be activated by Gq/phospholipase C-coupled receptors. However, the other molecular mechanisms by which Gα proteins regulate TRPC4 remain unclear. Here, we found that Gαi2 regulates TRPC4 activation by direct binding. To investigate this mechanism, we used whole patch clamp and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). We tagged an isoform of mTRPC4 and G protein with CFP and YFP, respectively, and transiently transfected cells with the FRET pair. The FRET efficiency between TRPC4β-CFP and the constitutively active mutant form of Gαi2 was nearly 15% and was greater than that observed with wild-type Gαi2 (nearly 5%). Gβγ and the TRPC4 channel showed a FRET efficiency lower than 6%. In HEK293 cells transfected with the M2 muscarinic receptor, the application of carbachol increased the FRET efficiency between TRPC4β-CFP and Gαi2(WT)-YFP from 4.7 ± 0.4% (n = 7) to 12.6 ± 1.4% (n = 7). We also found that the TRPC4 channel directly interacts with Gαi2, but not with Gαq, when the channel is open. We analyzed the calcium levels in HEK293 cells expressing the channels and Gαi2 or Gαq using the calcium indicator YC6.1 (Yellow Cameleon 6.1). In response to the muscarinic agonist carbachol, M2-, Gαi2-, and TRPC4-expressing cells showed a prolonged Ca(2+) influx compared with cells expressing only M2. Together, these data suggest that Gαi2 activates the TRPC4 channel by direct binding, which then induces Ca(2+) entry.

Abstract
Canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels are Ca(2+)-permeable nonselective cation channels that are activated by a wide variety of stimuli, including G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The TRPC4 channel is expressed in a punctate distribution in the membrane. To identify the regulating region of the channel trafficking to the membrane, we generated deletion mutants of the TRPC4 channel. We determined that when either region that was downstream of the 20 amino acids of the N terminus or the 700-730 amino acids was deleted, the mutants were retained in the endoplasmic reticulum. By coexpression of the wild-type TRPC4 with deletion mutants, we found that the 23-29 amino acids of the N terminus regulate a membrane trafficking. Additionally, by the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) method, we found that the regions downstream of the 99 amino acid region of the N terminus and upstream of the 730 amino acid region in the C terminus produce assembly of the TRPC4 tetramers. We inferred the candidate proteins that regulate or interact with the 23-29 domain of TRPC4.

Abstract
Human canonical transient receptor potential channel 5 (TRPC5) has been cloned from the Xq23 region on chromosome X as a suspect in nonsyndromic mental retardation. TRPC5 is a Ca(2+)-permeable cation channel predominantly expressed in the CNS, including the hippocampus, cerebellum, amygdala, sensory neurons, and retina. It also shows more restricted expression in the periphery, notably in the kidney and cardiovascular system. Homotetrameric TRPC5 channels are primarily activated by receptors coupled to Gq and phospholipase C and/or Gi proteins, but TRPC5 channels may also gate in a store-dependent manner, which requires other partner proteins such TRPC1, STIM1, and Orai1. There is an impressive array of other activators of TRPC5 channels, such as nitric oxide, lysophospholipids, sphingosine-1-phosphate, reduced thioredoxin, protons, lanthanides, and calcium, and many can cause its direct activation. Moreover, TRPC5 shows constitutive activity, and it is responsive to membrane stretch and cold. Thus, TRPC5 channels have significant potential for synergistic activation and may serve as an important focal point in Ca(2+) signalling and electrogenesis. Moreover, TRPC5 functions in partnership with about 60 proteins, including TRPC1, TRPC4, calmodulin, IP3 receptors, NHERF, NCS-1, junctate, stathmin 2, Ca(2+)-binding protein 1, caveolin, and SESTD1, while its desensitisation is mediated by both protein kinases A and C. TRPC5 has a distinct voltage dependence shared only with its closest relative, TRPC4. Its unique N-shaped activation curve underlined by intracellular Mg(2+) block seems to be perfectly "shaped" to trigger action potential discharge, but not to grossly interfere with the action potential shape. The range of biological functions of TRPC5 channels is also impressive, from neurotransmission to control of axon guidance and vascular smooth muscle cell migration and contractility. Recent studies of Trpc5 gene knockouts begin to uncover its roles in fear, anxiety, seizures, and cold sensing.

Abstract
The TRP-canonical (TRPC) subfamily, which consists of seven members (TRPC1-TRPC7), are Ca(2+)-permeable cation channels that are activated in response to receptor-mediated PIP2 hydrolysis via store-dependent and store-independent mechanisms. These channels are involved in a variety of physiological functions in different cell types and tissues. Of these, TRPC6 has been linked to a channelopathy resulting in human disease. Two key players of the store-dependent regulatory pathway, STIM1 and Orai1, interact with some TRPC channels to gate and regulate channel activity. The Ca(2+) influx mediated by TRPC channels generates distinct intracellular Ca(2+) signals that regulate downstream signaling events and consequent cell functions. This requires localization of TRPC channels in specific plasma membrane microdomains and precise regulation of channel function which is coordinated by various scaffolding, trafficking, and regulatory proteins.

Abstract
In previous studies, blockade or gene deletion of either myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) or the mechanogated transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channel attenuated mechanical lung injury. To determine their effects on calcium entry, rat pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (RPMVEC) were labeled with fluo-4 and calcium entry initiated with the TRPV4 agonist, 4α-phorbol 12, 13-didecanoate (4αPDD). Mean calcium transients peaked at ∼25 sec and persisted ∼500 sec. The 4αPDD response was essentially abolished in calcium-free media, or after pretreatment with the MLCK inhibitor, ML-7. ML-7 also attenuated the 4αPDD-induced inward calcium current measured directly using whole-cell patch clamp. Pretreatment with dynasore, an inhibitor of dynamin produced an initial calcium transient followed by a 4αPDD transient of unchanged peak intensity. Automated averaging of areas under the curve (AUC) of calcium transients in individual cells indicated total calcium activity with a relationship between treatment groups of ML-7 + 4αPDD < 4αPDD only < dynasore + 4αPDD. Measurement of biotinylated surface TRPV4 protein indicated a significant reduction after ML-7 pretreatment, but no significant change with dynasore treatment. RPMVEC monolayer electrical resistances were decreased by only 3% with 10 μmol/L 4αPDD and the response was dose-related. Dynasore alone produced a 29% decrease in resistance, but neither ML-7 nor dynasore affected the subsequent 4αPDD resistance response. These studies suggest that MLCK may inhibit mechanogated calcium responses through reduced surface expression of stretch activated TRPV4 channels in the plasma membrane.

Abstract
The Ca(2+)-dependent kinase myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) is the activator of smooth muscle contraction. In addition, it has been reported to be involved in Ca(2+) channel regulation in cultured cells, and we previously showed that the MLCK inhibitor ML-7 decreases arginine vasopressin (AVP)-induced Ca(2+) influx in rat aorta. This study was designed to investigate whether MLCK is involved in Ca(2+) regulation in resistance artery smooth muscle cell, which plays a major role in the control of blood pressure. As ML compounds were shown to have off-target effects, MLCK was downregulated by transfection with a small interfering RNA targeting MLCK (MLCK-siRNA) in rat small resistance mesenteric artery (RMA) and in the rat embryonic aortic cell line A7r5. Noradrenaline-induced contraction and Ca(2+) signal were significantly depressed in MLCK-siRNA compared to scramble-siRNA-transfected RMA. Contraction and Ca(2+) signal induced by high KCl and voltage-activated Ca(2+) current were also significantly decreased in MLCK-siRNA-transfected RMA, suggesting that MLCK depletion modifies voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels. KCl- and AVP-induced Ca(2+) signals and voltage-activated Ca(2+) current were decreased in MLCK-depleted A7r5 cells. Eventually, real-time quantitative PCR analysis indicated that in A7r5, MLCK controlled mRNA expression of CaV1.2 (L-type) and CaV3.1 (T-type) voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels. Our results suggest that MLCK controls the transcription of voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels in vascular smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential canonical 4 (TRPC4) channel is a Ca(2+)-permeable nonselective cation channel in mammalian cells and mediates a number of cellular functions. Many studies show that TRPC channels are activated by stimulation of Gαq-phospholipase C (PLC)-coupled receptors. However, our previous study showed that the TRPC4 current was inhibited by co-expression of a constitutively active form of Gαq (Gαq (Q209L)). A shortage of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] in Gαq (Q209L) may be responsible for reduced TRPC4 activity. Here, we tested this hypothesis by using a rapamycin-inducible system that regulates PI(4,5)P2 acutely and specifically. Our results showed that the TRPC4β current was reduced by inducible Gαq (Q209L), but not by the mutants with impaired binding ability to PLCβ. Depletion of PI(4,5)P2 by inducing the inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase to HEK293 cells that express TRPC4β led to an irreversible inhibition of TRPC4β currents. In contrast, inducing phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase or intracellular PI(4,5)P2 application did not activate the TRPC4β current. Finally, we revealed that PI(4,5)P2 is important in delaying the desensitization of TRPC4β. Taken together, we suggest that PI(4,5)P2 is not the activator of TRPC4β activation, but it is still necessary for regulating TRPC4β activation.

Abstract
In addition to its role in the regulation of artery contraction, Rho kinase (ROCK) was reported to be involved in the cytosolic calcium response to vasoconstrictor agonists in rat aorta and superior mesenteric artery (SMA). However, it remains to be determined whether ROCK also contributes to calcium signaling in resistance arteries, which play a major role in blood pressure regulation. The investigation of the effect of ROCK inhibition on the calcium and contractile responses of rat resistance mesenteric artery (RMA), in comparison with aorta and SMA, indicated that the calcium response to noradrenaline was inhibited by the ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 in aorta and SMA but not in RMA. The effect of Y-27632 on the calcium signal was unaffected by cytochalasin-D. ROCK activation in noradrenaline-stimulated arteries was confirmed by the inhibition of myosin light chain phosphorylation by Y-27632. Moreover, noradrenaline-induced calcium signaling was similarly inhibited by nimodipine in aorta, SMA and RMA, but nimodipine sensitivity of the contraction increased from the aorta to the RMA, suggesting that the contraction was controlled by different sources of calcium. In pressurized RMA, Y-27632 and H-1152 depressed pressure-induced calcium responses and abolished myogenic contraction. These results stress the important differences in calcium signaling between conductance and resistance arteries.

Abstract
TRPC4 and TRPC5 channels are important regulators of electrical excitability in both gastrointestinal myocytes and neurons. Much is known regarding the assembly and function of these channels including TRPC1 as a homotetramer or a heteromultimer and the roles that their interacting proteins play in controlling these events. Further, they are one of the best-studied targets of G protein-coupled receptors and growth factors in general and Gαq protein coupled receptor or epidermal growth factor in particular. However, our understanding of the roles of Gαi/o proteins on TRPC4/5 channels is still rudimentary. We discuss potential roles for Gαi/o proteins in channel activation in addition to their known role in cellular signaling.

Abstract
In addition to its role in artery contraction, Rho kinase (ROCK) is reported to be involved in the Ca(2+) response to vasoconstrictor agonist in rat aorta. However the signaling pathway mediated by ROCK had not been investigated so far and it was not known whether ROCK also contributed to Ca(2+) signaling in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), which undergo profound phenotypic changes. Our results showed that in VSMC, ROCK inhibition by Y-27632 or H-1152 had no effect on the Ca(2+) response to vasopressin, while in aorta the vasopressin-induced Ca(2+) entry was significantly decreased. The inhibition of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) by ML-7 depressed the vasopressin-induced Ca(2+) signal in aorta but not in VSMC. The difference in ROCK sensitivity of vasopressin-induced Ca(2+) entry between aorta and VSMC was not related to an alteration of the RhoA/ROCK pathway. However, MLCK expression and activity were depressed in cultured cells compared to aorta. We concluded that the regulation of vasopressin-induced Ca(2+) entry by ROCK in aorta could involve the myosin cytoskeleton and could be prevented by the downregulation of MLCK in VSMC. These results underline the important differences in Ca(2+) regulation between whole tissue and cultured cells.

Abstract
The nonselective cation channel transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC)5 is found predominantly in the brain and has been proposed to regulate neuronal processes and growth cones. Here, we demonstrate that semaphorin 3A-mediated growth cone collapse is reduced in hippocampal neurons from TRPC5 null mice. This reduction is reproduced by inhibition of the calcium-sensitive protease calpain in wild-type neurons but not in TRPC5(-/-) neurons. We show that calpain-1 and calpain-2 cleave and functionally activate TRPC5. Mutation of a critical threonine at position 857 inhibits calpain-2 cleavage of the channel. Finally, we show that the truncated TRPC5 predicted to result from calpain cleavage is functionally active. These results indicate that semaphorin 3A initiates growth cone collapse via activation of calpain that in turn potentiates TRPC5 activity. Thus, TRPC5 acts downstream of semaphorin signaling to cause changes in neuronal growth cone morphology and nervous system development.

Abstract
The ubiquitous transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels function as non-selective, Ca(2+)-permeable channels and mediate numerous cellular functions. It is commonly assumed that TRPC channels are activated by stimulation of Gα(q)-PLC-coupled receptors. However, whether the Gα(q)-PLC pathway is the main regulator of TRPC4/5 channels and how other Gα proteins may regulate these channels are poorly understood. We previously reported that TRPC4/TRPC5 can be activated by Gα(i). In the current work, we found that Gα(i) subunits, rather than Gα(q), are the primary and direct activators of TRPC4 and TRPC5. We report a novel molecular mechanism in which TRPC4 is activated by several Gα(i) subunits, most prominently by Gα(i2), and TRPC5 is activated primarily by Gα(i3). Activation of Gα(i) by the muscarinic M2 receptors or expression of the constitutively active Gα(i) mutants equally and fully activates the channels. Moreover, both TRPC4 and TRPC5 are activated by direct interaction of their conserved C-terminal SESTD (SEC14-like and spectrin-type domains) with the Gα(i) subunits. Two amino acids (lysine 715 and arginine 716) of the TRPC4 C terminus were identified by structural modeling as mediating the interaction with Gα(i2). These findings indicate an essential role of Gα(i) proteins as novel activators for TRPC4/5 and reveal the molecular mechanism by which G-proteins activate the channels.

Abstract
Mammals contain 28 genes encoding Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) proteins. The proteins assemble into cationic channels, often with calcium permeability. Important roles in physiology and disease have emerged and so there is interest in whether the channels might be suitable therapeutic drug targets. Here we review selected members of three subfamilies of mammalian TRP channel (TRPC5, TRPM2 and TRPA1) that show relevance to sensing of adversity by cells and biological systems. Summarized are the cellular and tissue distributions, general properties, endogenous modulators, protein partners, cellular and tissue functions, therapeutic potential, and pharmacology. TRPC5 is stimulated by receptor agonists and other factors that include lipids and metal ions; it heteromultimerises with other TRPC proteins and is involved in cell movement and anxiety control. TRPM2 is activated by hydrogen peroxide; it is implicated in stress-related inflammatory, vascular and neurodegenerative conditions. TRPA1 is stimulated by a wide range of irritants including mustard oil and nicotine but also, controversially, noxious cold and mechanical pressure; it is implicated in pain and inflammatory responses, including in the airways. The channels have in common that they show polymodal stimulation, have activities that are enhanced by redox factors, are permeable to calcium, and are facilitated by elevations of intracellular calcium. Developing inhibitors of the channels could lead to new agents for a variety of conditions: for example, suppressing unwanted tissue remodeling, inflammation, pain and anxiety, and addressing problems relating to asthma and stroke.

Abstract
Canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels are Ca(2+)-permeable, nonselective cation channels that are widely expressed in numerous cell types. Here, we demonstrate a new mechanism of TPRC isofom 5 (TRPC5) regulation, via cAMP signaling via Gα(s). Monovalent cation currents in human embryonic kidney-293 cells transfected with TRPC5 were induced by G protein activation with intracellular perfusion of GTPγS or by muscarinic stimulation. This current could be inhibited by a membrane-permeable analog of cAMP, 8-bromo-cAMP, by isoproterenol, by a constitutively active form of Gα(s) [Gα(s) (Q227L)], and by forskolin. These inhibitory effects were blocked by the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitors, KT-5720 and H-89, as well as by two point mutations at consensus PKA phosphorylation sites on TRPC5 (S794A and S796A). Surface expression of several mutated versions of TRPC5, quantified using surface biotinylation, were not affected by Gα(s) (Q227L), suggesting that trafficking of this channel does not underlie the regulation we report. This mechanism of inhibition was also found to be important for the closely related channel, TRPC4, in particular for TRPC4α, although TRPC4β was also affected. However, this form of regulation was not found to be involved in TRPC6 and transient receptor potential vanilloid 6 function. In murine intestinal smooth muscle cells, muscarinic stimulation-induced cation currents were mediated by TRPC4 (>80%) and TRPC6. In murine intestinal smooth muscle cells, 8-bromo-cAMP, adrenaline, and isoproterenol decreased nonselective cation currents activated by muscarinic stimulation or GTPγS. Together, these results suggest that TRPC5 is directly phosphorylated by G(s)/cAMP/PKA at positions S794 and S796. This mechanism may be physiologically important in visceral tissues, where muscarinic receptor and β(2)-adrenergic receptor are involved in the relaxation and contraction of smooth muscles.

Abstract
TRPC5 is a calcium (Ca(2+))-permeable nonselective cation channel expressed in several brain regions, including the hippocampus, cerebellum, and amygdala. Although TRPC5 is activated by receptors coupled to phospholipase C, the precise signaling pathway and modulatory signals remain poorly defined. We find that during continuous agonist activation, heterologously expressed TRPC5 currents are potentiated in a voltage-dependent manner ( approximately 5-fold at positive potentials and approximately 25-fold at negative potentials). The reversal potential, doubly rectifying current-voltage relation, and permeability to large cations such as N-methyl-d-glucamine remain unchanged during this potentiation. The TRPC5 current potentiation depends on extracellular Ca(2+): replacement by Ba(2+) or Mg(2+) abolishes it, whereas the addition of 10 mM Ca(2+) accelerates it. The site of action for Ca(2+) is intracellular, as simultaneous fura-2 imaging and patch clamp recordings indicate that potentiation is triggered at approximately 1 microM [Ca(2+)]. This potentiation is prevented when intracellular Ca(2+) is tightly buffered, but it is promoted when recording with internal solutions containing elevated [Ca(2+)]. In cell-attached and excised inside-out single-channel recordings, increases in internal [Ca(2+)] led to an approximately 10-20-fold increase in channel open probability, whereas single-channel conductance was unchanged. Ca(2+)-dependent potentiation should result in TRPC5 channel activation preferentially during periods of repetitive firing or coincident neurotransmitter receptor activation.

Abstract
The classical type of transient receptor potential (TRPC) channel is a molecular candidate for Ca(2+)-permeable cation channels in mammalian cells. Because TRPC4 and TRPC5 belong to the same subfamily of TRPC, they have been assumed to have the same physiological properties. However, we found that TRPC4 had its own functional characteristics different from those of TRPC5. TRPC4 channels had no constitutive activity and were activated by muscarinic stimulation only when a muscarinic receptor was co-expressed with TRPC4 in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells. Endogenous muscarinic receptor appeared not to interact with TRPC4. TPRC4 activation by GTPgammaS was not desensitized. TPRC4 activation by GTPgammaS was not inhibited by either Rho kinase inhibitor or MLCK inhibitor. TRPC4 was sensitive to external pH with pK (a) of 7.3. Finally, TPRC4 activation by GTPgammaS was inhibited by the calmodulin inhibitor W-7. We conclude that TRPC4 and TRPC5 have different properties and their own physiological roles.

Abstract
The classical type of transient receptor potential channel (TRPC) is a molecular candidate for Ca(2+)-permeable cation channels in mammalian cells. Especially, TRPC4 has the similar properties to Ca(2+)-permeable nonselective cation channels (NSCCs) activated by muscarinic stimulation in visceral smooth muscles. In visceral smooth muscles, NSCCs activated by muscarinic stimulation were blocked by anti-Galphai/o antibodies. However, there is still no report which Galpha proteins are involved in the activation process of TRPC4. Among Galpha proteins, only Galphai protein can activate TRPC4 channel. The activation effect of Galphai was specific for TRPC4 because Galphai has no activation effect on TRPC5, TRPC6 and TRPV6. Coexpression with muscarinic receptor M2 induced TRPC4 current activation by muscarinic stimulation with carbachol, which was inhibited by pertussis toxin. These results suggest that Galphai is involved specifically in the activation of TRPC4.

Abstract
The classic transient receptor potential channel (TRPC) is a candidate for Ca(2+)-permeable cation channel in mammalian cells. TRPC5 is desensitized rapidly after activation by G protein-coupled receptor. Here we investigate the mechanisms of desensitization of TRPC5 using patch-clamp recording. TRPC5 was initially activated by muscarinic stimulation using 50 microM carbachol (CCh) and decayed rapidly in the presence of CCh (desensitization). Intracellularly-applied phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) slowed the rate of desensitization. In contrast, several other phosphoinositides, including PI(3,4)P(2), PI(3,5)P(2), PI(3,4,5)P(3) and PI(4)P, had no effect on the desensitization of the TRPC5 current. This indicates that PIP(2) attenuates the desensitization of the TRPC5 current in a highly selective manner. Neither wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase, or poly-L-lysine (PLL), a scavenger of PIP(2), had any effect on desensitization of the TRPC5 current. PIP(2) breakdown appears to be a required step in the desensitization of TRPC5 current, but PIP(2) depletion alone was insufficient for channel desensitization. TRPC5 was inhibited by cytochalasin D treatment. In mouse ileal myocytes, the desensitization of CCh-activated inward current (I(CCh)) also slowed in the presence of PIP(2) in recording pipettes. These results indicate that PIP(2) is involved in the desensitization of TRPC5 currents.

Abstract
This paper supplements former studies on elasmobranch species with an immunohistochemical investigation into glutamine synthetase and S-100 protein, in addition to GFAP, and extends its scope to the representatives of almost every group of Elasmobranchii: squalomorph sharks, galeomorph sharks, skates (Rajiformes) and rays (Torpediniformes and Myliobatifomes). More glial elements were labeled by S-100 protein, and even more so by using glutamine synthetase immunostaining than by GFAP: more astrocytes (mainly non-perivascular ones) were detected in the telencephalon of sharks, skates and rays. Only the markers S-100 and glutamine synthetase, but not GFAP, characterized the Bergmann-glia of skates and rays and astrocyte-like non-ependymal cells in Squalus acanthias. Another squalomorph shark species, Pristiophorus cirratus, however, had GFAP immunopositive astrocytes. Of all the species studied, the greatest number of GFAP positive astrocytes could be observed in Mobula japanica (order Myliobatiformes), in each major brain part. According to anatomical location, perivascular glia comprised varied types, including even a location in Mobula, which can also be found in mammals. Remnants of radial glia were found in confined areas of skates, less so in rays. In the rhombencephalon and in the spinal cord modified ependymoglia predominated in every group. In conclusion, there was no meaningful difference between the astroglial architectures of squalomorph and galeomorph sharks. The difference in the astroglial structure between sharks and batoids, however, was confined to the telencephalon and mesencephalon, and did not take place in the rhombencephalon, the latter structure being quite similar in all the species studied. The appearance of astrocytes in the relatively thin-walled shark telencephalon, however, indicates that the brain thickening promoted the preponderance of astrocytes rather than their appearance itself. Although the evolutionary changes of astroglia had some similarities in Elasmobranchii and Amniota, there was one meaningful difference: in Elasmobranchii astrocytes did not prevail in conservative brain regions as they did in the progressive brain regions.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of calmodulin (CaM) and myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) on murine ileal myocytes using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Under the voltage clamp, at the holding potential of -60 mV, 50 micromol/L carbachol (CCh) induced inward currents (I CCh), and spontaneous decay of I CCh occurred. The peak inward currents induced by the repetitive application of CCh (50 micromol/L) tended to decrease in amplitude. Intracellular application of 0.2 mmol/L guanosine 5'-O-(gamma-thio)triphosphate (GTP gammaS) from the patch electrode induced an inward current at a holding potential of -60m V, and the peak inward currents induced by the repetitive application of Cs tended to decrease slightly in amplitude. The amplitude of I CCh was reduced by pretreatment either with W-7, trifluoroperazine, W-5, and melittin (CaM inhibitors) or with ML-7 and ML-9 (selective MLCK inhibitors), and the inhibitory effects were reversible. However, when we pretreated with 50 micromol/L W-7 or 5 micromol/L ML-7 on GTP gammaS-induced inward currents, almost no inhibition was observed in the inward currents. Application of both Rho kinase inhibitor and MLCK inhibitor inhibited GTP gammaS-induced currents. We conclude that CaM and MLCK modulate the activation process of I CCh in murine ileal myocytes and suggest that the classical type transient receptor potential (TRPC) channel 5 might be a candidate for nonselective cationic currents (NSCC) activated by muscarinic stimulation in gastrointestinal smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
Store-operated channels (SOCs) are plasma membrane Ca2+-permeable cation channels which are activated by agents that deplete intracellular Ca2+ stores. In smooth muscle SOCs are involved in contraction, gene expression, cell growth and proliferation. Single channel recording has demonstrated that SOCs with different biophysical properties are expressed in smooth muscle indicating diverse molecular identities. Moreover it is apparent that several gating mechanisms including calmodulin, protein kinase C and lysophospholipids are involved in SOC activation. Evidence is accumulating that TRPC proteins are important components of SOCs in smooth muscle. More recently Orai and STIM proteins have been proposed to underlie the well-described calcium-release-activated current (ICRAC) in non-excitable cells but at present there is little information on the role of Orai and STIM proteins in smooth muscle. In addition it is likely that different TRPC subunits coassemble as heterotetrameric structures to form smooth muscle SOCs. In this brief review we summarize the diverse properties and gating mechanisms of SOCs in smooth muscle. We propose that the heterogeneity of the properties of these conductances in smooth muscle results from the formation of heterotetrameric TRPC structures in different smooth muscle preparations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) plays a pivotal role in regulation of cellular functions, the evidence often relying on the effects of extracelluarly administered drugs such as ML-9. Here we report that this compound exerts non-specific inhibitory actions on the TRPC6 channel, a transient receptor potential (TRP) protein. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Macroscopic and single channel currents were recorded from transfected HEK293 cells by patch-clamp techniques. KEY RESULTS Cationic currents elicited by carbachol (CCh; 100 microM) in HEK293 cells overexpressing murine TRPC6 (I(TRPC6)) were dose-dependently inhibited by externally applied ML-9 (IC(50)=7.8 microM). This inhibition was voltage-dependent and occurred as fast as external Na(+) removal. Another MLCK inhibitor, wortmannin (3 microM), and MLCK inhibitory peptides MLCK-IP(11-19) (10 microM) and -IP(480-501) (1 microM) showed little effects on I(TRPC6) density and the inhibitory efficacy of ML-9. The extent of the inhibition also unchanged with co-expression of wild-type or a dominant negative mutant of MLCK. Inhibitory effects of ML-9 on I(TRPC6) remained unaffected whether TRPC6 was activated constitutively or by a diacylglycerol analogue OAG (100 microM). Similar rapid inhibition was also observed with a ML-9 relative, ML-7. Intracellular perfusion of ML-9 via patch pipette, dose-dependently suppressed I(TRPC6). In inside-out patch configuration, bath application of ML-9 (and ML-7) rapidly diminished approximately 35pS single TRPC6 channel activities. Contrarily, currents due to TRPC7 expression were rapidly enhanced by externally applied ML-9 and ML-7, which was not prevented by MLCK inhibitory peptides. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS These results strongly suggest that ML compounds inhibit TRPC6 channels via a mechanism independent of inhibition of MLCK activity.

Abstract
TRP channels, in particular the TRPC and TRPV subfamilies, have emerged as important constituents of the receptor-activated Ca2+ influx mechanism triggered by hormones, growth factors, and neurotransmitters through activation ofphospholipase C (PLC). Several TRPC channels are also activated by passive depletion of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+. Although in several studies the native TRP channels faithfully reproduce the respective recombinant channels, more often the properties of Ca2+ entry and/or the store-operated current are strikingly different from that of the TRP channels expressed in the same cells. The present review aims to discuss this disparity in the context of interaction of TRPC channels with auxiliary proteins that may alter the permeation and regulation of TRPC channels.

Abstract
Canonical transient receptor potential 5 TRPC5 (also TrpC5, trp-5 or trp5) is one of the seven mammalian TRPC proteins. Its known functional property is that of a mixed cationic plasma membrane channel with calcium permeability. It is active alone or as a heteromultimeric assembly with TRPC1; TRPC4 and TRPC3 may also be involved. Multiple activators of TRPC5 are emerging, including various G protein-coupled receptor agonists, lysophospholipids, lanthanide ions and, in some contexts, calcium store depletion. Intracellular calcium has complex impact on TRPC5, including a permissive role for other activators, as well as inhibition at high concentrations. Protein kinase C is inhibitory and mediates desensitisation following receptor activation. Tonic TRPC5 activity is detected and may reflect the presence of constitutive activation signals. The channel has voltage dependence but the biological significance of this is unknown; it is partially due to intracellular magnesium blockade at aspartic acid residue 633. Protein partners include calmodulin, CaBP1, enkurin, Na(+)-H+ exchange regulatory factor (NHERF) and stathmin. TRPC5 is included in local vesicular trafficking regulated by growth factors through phosphatidylinositol (PI)-3-kinase, Rac1 and PIP-5-kinase. Inhibition of myosin light chain kinase suppresses TRPC5, possibly via an effect on trafficking. Biological roles of TRPC5 are emerging but more reports on this aspect are needed. One proposed role is as a mediator of calcium entry and excitation in smooth muscle, another as an inhibitor of neuronal growth cone extension. The latter is intriguing in view of the original cloning of the human TRPC5 gene from a region of the X chromosome linked to mental retardation. TRPC5 is a broadly expressed calcium channel with capability to act as an integrator of extracellular and intracellular signals at the level of calcium entry.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are members of a relatively newly described family of cation channels that display a wide range of properties and mechanisms of activation. The exact physiological function and regulation of most of these channels have not yet been conclusively determined. Studies over the past decade have revealed important features of the channels that contribute to their function. These include homomeric interactions between TRP monomers, selective heteromeric interactions within members of the same subfamily, interactions of TRPs with accessory proteins and assembly into macromolecular signaling complexes, and regulation within functionally distinct cellular microdomains. Further, distinct constitutive and regulated vesicular trafficking mechanisms have a critical role not only in controlling the surface expression of TRP channels but also their activation in response to stimuli. A number of cellular components such as cytoskeletal and scaffolding proteins also contribute to TRP channel trafficking. Thus, mechanisms involved in the assembly and trafficking of TRP channels control their plasma membrane expression and critically impact their function and regulation.

Abstract
The calcium- and sodium-permeable transient receptor potential channel TRPC5 has an inhibitory role in neuronal outgrowth but the mechanisms governing its activity are poorly understood. Here we propose a mechanism involving the neuronal calcium sensor-1 (NCS-1) protein. Inhibitory mutants of TRPC5 and NCS-1 enhance neurite outgrowth similarly. Mutant NCS-1 does not inhibit surface-expression of TRPC5 but generally suppresses channel activity, irrespective of whether it is evoked by carbachol, store depletion, lanthanides or elevated intracellular calcium. NCS-1 and TRPC5 are in the same protein complex in rat brain and NCS-1 directly binds to the TRPC5 C-terminus. The data suggest protein-protein interaction between NCS-1 and TRPC5, and involvement of this protein complex in retardation of neurite outgrowth.
