Zhang J, Yuan H, Yao X, Chen S. Endogenous ion channels expressed in human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells. Pflugers Arch 2022; 474:665-680. [PMID: 35567642 DOI: 10.1007/s00424-022-02700-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2022] [Revised: 04/25/2022] [Accepted: 04/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Mammalian expression systems, particularly the human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells, combined with electrophysiological studies, have greatly benefited our understanding of the function, characteristic, and regulation of various ion channels. It was previously assumed that the existence of endogenous ion channels in native HEK-293 cells could be negligible. Still, more and more ion channels are gradually reported in native HEK-293 cells, which should draw our attention. In this regard, we summarize the different ion channels that are endogenously expressed in HEK-293 cells, including voltage-gated Na+ channels, Ca2+ channels, K+ channels, Cl- channels, nonselective cation channels, TRP channels, acid-sensitive ion channels, and Piezo channels, which may complicate the recording of the heterogeneously expressed ion channels to a certain degree. We noted that the expression patterns and channel profiles varied with different studies, which may be due to the distinct originality of the cells, cell culture conditions, passage numbers, and different recording protocols. Therefore, a better knowledge of endogenous ion channels may help minimize potential problems in characterizing heterologously expressed ion channels. Based on this, it is recommended that HEK-293 cells from unknown sources should be examined before transfection for the characterization of their functional profile, especially when the expression level of exogenous ion channels does not overwhelm the endogenous ion channels largely, or the current amplitude is not significantly higher than the native currents.

Abstract
Human acid-sensing ion channels (ASIC) are ligand-gated ionotropic receptors expressed widely in peripheral tissues as well as sensory and central neurons and implicated in detection of inflammation, tissue injury, and hypoxia-induced acidosis. This makes ASIC channels promising targets for drug discovery in oncology, pain and ischemia, and several modulators have progressed into clinical trials. We describe the use of hASIC1a as a case study for the development and validation of low, medium and high throughput automated patch clamp (APC) assays suitable for the screening and mechanistic profiling of new ligands for this important class of ligand-gated ion channel. Initial efforts to expand on previous manual patch work describing an endogenous hASIC1a response in HEK cells were thwarted by low current expression and unusual pharmacology, so subsequent work utilized stable hASIC1a CHO cell lines. Ligand-gated application protocols and screening assays on the Patchliner, QPatch 48, and SyncroPatch 384 were optimized and validated based on pH activation and nM-μM potency of reference antagonists (e.g., Amiloride, Benzamil, Memantine, Mambalgin-3, A-317567, PcTx1). By optimizing single and stacked pipette tip applications available on each APC platform, stable pH-evoked currents during multiple ligand applications enabled cumulative EC50 and IC50 determinations with minimized receptor desensitization. Finally, we successfully demonstrated for the first time on an APC platform the ability to use current clamp to implement the historical technique of input resistance tracking to measure ligand-gated changes in membrane conductance on the Patchliner platform.

Abstract
In recent decades cancer emerged as one of the leading causes of death in the developed countries, with some types of cancer contributing to the top 10 causes of death on the list of the World Health Organization. Carcinogenesis, a malignant transformation causing formation of tumors in normal tissues, is associated with changes in the cell cycle caused by suppression of signaling pathways leading to cell death and facilitation of those enhancing proliferation. Further progression of cancer, during which benign tumors acquire more aggressive phenotypes, is characterized by metastatic dissemination through the body driven by augmented motility and invasiveness of cancer cells. All these processes are associated with alterations in calcium homeostasis in cancer cells, which promote their proliferation, motility and invasion, and dissuade cell death or cell cycle arrest. Remodeling of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), one of the major pathways regulating intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), manifests a key event in many of these processes. This review systematizes current knowledge on the mechanisms recruiting SOCE-related proteins in carcinogenesis and cancer progression.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ sensor stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) interacts with ORAI Ca2+ channels at the plasma membrane to regulate immune and muscle cell function. The conformational changes underlying STIM1 activation, translocation, and ORAI1 trapping and gating, are stringently regulated by post-translational modifications and accessory proteins. Here, we review the recent progress in the identification and characterization of ER and cytosolic proteins interacting with STIM1 to control its activation and deactivation during store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE).

Abstract
In airway smooth muscle, the intracellular basal Ca2+ concentration [b(Ca2+)i] must be tightly regulated by several mechanisms in order to maintain a proper airway patency. The b[Ca2+]i is efficiently regulated by sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2b, plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase 1 or 4 and by the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. Membranal Ca2+ channels, including the L-type voltage dependent Ca2+ channel (L-VDCC), T-type voltage dependent Ca2+ channel (T-VDCC) and transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3), appear to be constitutively active under basal conditions via the action of different signaling pathways, and are responsible for Ca2+ influx to maintain b[Ca2+]i. The two types of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (L- and T-type) are modulated by phosphorylation processes mediated by mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) and extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2). The MEK/ERK signaling pathway can be activated by G-protein-coupled receptors through the αq subunit when the endogenous ligand (i.e., acetylcholine, histamine, leukotrienes, etc.) is present under basal conditions. It may also be stimulated when receptor tyrosine kinases are occupied by the appropriate ligand (cytokines, growth factors, etc.). ERK1/2 phosphorylates L-VDCC on Ser496 of the β2 subunit and Ser1928 of the α1 subunit, decreasing or increasing the channel activity, respectively, and enabling it to switch between an open and closed state. T-VDCC is also probably phosphorylated by ERK1/2, although further research is required to identify the phosphorylation sites. TRPC3 is directly activated by diacylglycerol produced by phospholipase C (PLCβ or γ). Constitutive inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate production induces the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum through inositol triphosphate receptor 1. This ion induces Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release through the ryanodine receptor 2 (designated as Ca2+ ‘sparks’). Therefore, several Ca2+ handling mechanisms are finely tuned to regulate basal intracellular Ca2+ concentrations. It is conceivable that alterations in any of these processes may render airway smooth muscle susceptible to develop hyperresponsiveness that is observed in ailments such as asthma.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential-6 channels are widely expressed cation channels that play a role in regulating Ca2+ dynamics, especially during G protein-coupled receptor signaling. The permeation of cations through TRPC6 is complex and the relative permeability to Ca2+ relative to monovalent cations appears to be highly voltage-dependent and is reduced upon membrane depolarization. Many investigators have observed complex current-voltage (I-V) relationships in recordings of TRPC6 channels, which often manifest as flattening of I-V curves between 0 and +40 mV and negative to -60 mV. These features are especially common in recordings from TRPC6 channels expressed in heterologous expression systems. Indeed, it is sometimes argued that marked rectification at both negative and positive membrane potentials is a defining feature of TRPC6, and that recordings in which these features are reduced or absent cannot reflect activity of TRPC6. Here we present a review of the literature to show that complex rectification is not seen in every cell type expressing TRPC6, even when comparing recordings made from the same groups of investigators, or in recordings from what is nominally the same heterologous expression system. Therefore other criteria, such as gene knockout or knockdown, or the use of newly emerging selective blockers, must be used to ascertain that a given current reflects activity of endogenously expressed TRPC6 channels. We also discuss the possibility that complex rectification may not be an intrinsic property of TRPC6 in cells where it is observed, and may instead reflect presence of endogenous substances that cause voltage-dependent inhibition of the channels.

Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction in chronic hypoxia (CH)-induced pulmonary hypertension is characterized by reduced store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) and diminished Ca2+-dependent production of endothelium-derived vasodilators. We recently reported that SOCE in pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAECs) is tightly regulated by membrane cholesterol and that decreased membrane cholesterol is responsible for impaired SOCE after CH. However, the ion channels involved in cholesterol-sensitive SOCE are unknown. We hypothesized that cholesterol facilitates SOCE in PAECs through the interaction of Orai1 and stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1). The role of cholesterol in Orai1-mediated SOCE was initially assessed using CH exposure in rats (4 wk, 380 mmHg) as a physiological stimulus to decrease PAEC cholesterol. The effects of Orai1 inhibition with AnCoA4 on SOCE were examined in isolated PAEC sheets from control and CH rats after cholesterol supplementation, substitution of endogenous cholesterol with epicholesterol (Epichol), or vehicle treatment. Whereas cholesterol restored endothelial SOCE in CH rats, both Epichol and AnCoA4 attenuated SOCE only in normoxic controls. The Orai1 inhibitor had no further effect in cells pretreated with Epichol. Using cultured pulmonary endothelial cells to allow better mechanistic analysis of the molecular components of cholesterol-regulated SOCE, we found that Epichol, AnCoA4, and Orai1 siRNA each inhibited SOCE compared with their respective controls. Epichol had no additional effect after knockdown of Orai1. Furthermore, Epichol substitution significantly reduced STIM1-Orai1 interactions as assessed by a proximity ligation assay. We conclude that membrane cholesterol is required for the STIM1-Orai1 interaction necessary to elicit endothelial SOCE. Furthermore, reduced PAEC membrane cholesterol after CH limits Orai1-mediated SOCE. NEW & NOTEWORTHY This research demonstrates a novel contribution of cholesterol to regulate the interaction of Orai1 and stromal interaction molecule 1 required for pulmonary endothelial store-operated Ca2+ entry. The results provide a mechanistic basis for impaired pulmonary endothelial Ca2+ influx after chronic hypoxia that may contribute to pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
Ca2+ acts as a universal and versatile second messenger in the regulation of a myriad of biological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis. Store‐operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) mediated by ORAI and the stromal interaction molecule (STIM) constitutes one of the major routes of calcium entry in nonexcitable cells, in which the depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores triggers activation of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)‐resident Ca2+ sensor protein STIM to gate and open the ORAI Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane (PM). Accumulating evidence indicates that SOCE plays critical roles in cancer cell proliferation, metastasis and tumor neovascularization, as well as in antitumor immunity. We summarize herein the recent advances in our understanding of the function of SOCE in various types of tumor cells, vascular endothelial cells and cells of the immune system. Finally, the therapeutic potential of SOCE inhibitors in the treatment of cancer is also discussed.

Abstract
In HEK cells expressing GFP-tagged PAC1Hop1 receptors, PACAP augments ERK phosphorylation through two parallel pathways: one through PACAP/PAC1 receptor internalization/endosome MEK/ERK signaling and the other through PLC/DAG/PKC activation. We examined whether elevation of intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)]i) was required for either of the PACAP/PAC1 receptor-mediated ERK activation mechanisms. The PACAP (25 nM)-induced elevation of [Ca(2+)]i was greater with cells maintained in Ca(2+)-containing than in Ca(2+)-deficient solution, suggesting that both calcium release from internal stores and calcium influx contributed to the rise in [Ca(2+)]i. A thapsigargin-induced increase in [Ca(2+)]i also was greater with calcium in the external solution. OAG, the cell permeable analogue of DAG, increased [Ca(2+)]i, but only in Ca(2+)-containing solution. Decreasing external calcium or depleting internal calcium stores did not block PACAP-induced PAC1 receptor internalization. Omission of calcium from the external solution, but not thapsigargin pretreatment, significantly blunted PACAP-stimulated ERK phosphorylation. The PKC inhibitor BimI decreased PACAP-mediated ERK activation in both Ca(2+)-containing or Ca(2+)-deficient solutions. In contrast, following Pitstop 2 pretreatment to block endocytic mechanisms, PACAP activated ERK only when calcium was present in the external solution. We conclude that the endosome signaling pathway is largely calcium-independent whereas calcium influx appears necessary for the PLC/DAG/PKC component of PACAP-induced ERK activation.

Abstract
Many cells express both P2X cation channels and P2Y G-protein-coupled receptors that are costimulated by nucleotides released during physiologic or pathophysiologic responses. For example, during hemostasis and thrombosis, ATP-gated P2X1 channels and ADP-stimulated P2Y1 and P2Y12 G-protein coupled receptors play important roles in platelet activation. It has previously been reported that P2X1 receptors amplify P2Y1-evoked Ca(2+) responses in platelets, but the underlying mechanism and influence on function is unknown. In human platelets, we show that maximally activated P2X1 receptors failed to stimulate significant aggregation but could amplify the aggregation response to a submaximal concentration of ADP. Costimulation of P2X1 and P2Y1 receptors generated a superadditive Ca(2+) increase in both human platelets and human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells via a mechanism dependent on Ca(2+) influx rather than Na(+) influx or membrane depolarization. The potentiation, due to an enhanced P2Y1 response, was observed if ADP was added up to 60 seconds after P2X1 activation. P2X1 receptors also enhanced Ca(2+) responses when costimulated with type 1 protease activated and M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. The P2X1-dependent amplification of Gq-coupled [Ca(2+)]i increase was mimicked by ionomycin and was not affected by inhibition of protein kinase C, Rho-kinase, or extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2, which suggests that it results from potentiation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors and/or phospholipase C. We conclude that Ca(2+) influx through P2X1 receptors amplifies Ca(2+) signaling through P2Y1 and other Gq-coupled receptors. This represents a general form of co-incidence detection of ATP and coreleased agonists, such as ADP at sites of vascular injury or synaptic transmitters acting at metabotropic Gq-coupled receptors.

Abstract
Calcium entry from the extracellular space into cells is an important signaling mechanism in both physiological and pathophysiological functions. In non-excitable cells, store-operated calcium (SOC) entry represents a principal mode of calcium entry. Activation of SOC entry in pulmonary artery endothelial cells leads to the formation of inter-endothelial cell gaps and subsequent endothelial barrier disruption. Regulation of endothelial SOC entry is poorly understood. In this work, we identify two large molecular weight immunophilins, FKBP51 and FKBP52, as novel regulators of SOC entry in endothelial cells. Using cell fractionation studies and immunocytochemistry we determined that a fraction of these largely cytosolic proteins localize to the plasma membrane where SOC entry channels are found. That FKBP51 and FKBP52 associate with SOC entry channel protein complexes was supported by co-precipitation of the immunophilins with TRPC4, a subunit of the calcium-selective, SOC entry channel ISOC. Dexamethasone-induced upregulation of FKBP51 expression in pulmonary artery endothelial cells reduced global SOC entry as well as ISOC. Similar results were observed when FKBP51 was over-expressed in an inducible HEK293 cell line. On the other hand, when FKBP52 was over-expressed SOC entry was enhanced. When expression of FKBP52 was inhibited, SOC entry was decreased. Collectively, our observations support regulatory roles for these large molecular weight immunophilins in which FKBP51 inhibits, whereas FKBP52 enhances, SOC entry in endothelial cells.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential channels (TRPs) form a large family of ubiquitous non-selective cation channels that function as cellular sensors and in many cases regulate intracellular calcium. Identification of the endogenous ligands that activate these TRP receptors is still under intense investigation with the majority of these channels still remaining "orphans." That these channels respond to a variety of external stimuli (e.g. plant-derived lipids, changes in temperature, and changes in pH) provides a framework for their abilities as cellular sensors, however, the mechanism of direct activation is still under much debate and research. In the cases where endogenous ligands (predominately lipids) have shown direct activation of a channel, multiple ligands have been shown to activate the same channel suggesting that these receptors are "promiscuous" in nature. Lipidomics of a growing class of endogenous lipids, N-acyl amides, the most famous of which is N-arachidonoyl ethanolamine (the endogenous cannabinoid, Anandamide) is providing a novel set of ligands that have been shown to activate some members of the TRP family and have the potential to deorphanize many more. Here it is argued that activation of TRPV receptors, a subset of the larger family of TRPs, by multiple endogenous lipids that are structurally analogous is a model system to drive our understanding that many TRP receptors are not promiscuous, but are more characteristically "opportunistic" in nature; exploiting the structural similarity and biosynthesis of a narrow range of analogous endogenous lipids. In addition, this manuscript will compare the activation properties of TRPC5 to the activity profile of an "orphan" lipid, N-palmitoyl glycine; further demonstrating that lipidomics aimed at expanding our knowledge of the family of N-acyl amides has the potential to provide novel avenues of research for TRP receptors.

Abstract
The endothelium is a highly dynamic structure lining the inside of blood vessels that exhibits physical and chemical properties that are critical determinants of overall vascular function. Physically, the endothelium constitutes a semipermeable barrier. Chemically, the endothelium synthesizes numerous factors such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can act as autocrine and paracrine signaling molecules. Oxidative stress results when ROS levels increase to levels that cause cellular injury, and, in the endothelium oxidative stress leads to barrier disruption. Endothelial barrier disruption also results from increased cytosolic calcium through store-operated calcium (SOC) entry channels. Although it is known that ROS can interact with and regulate some ion channels, relatively little is known about the interaction of these species with components of endothelial SOC entry channels, the canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) proteins. Here we review our current understanding of ROS-mediated TRPC channel function and how it affects SOC entry and endothelial barrier disruption.

Abstract
Ca(2+) entering cells through store-operated channels (SOCs) affects most cell functions, and excess SOC is associated with pathologies. The molecular makeup of SOCs and their mechanisms of gating were clarified with the discovery of the Orais and STIM1. Another form of SOCs are the TRPCs. STIM1 gates both Orai and TRPC channels but does so by different mechanisms. Although the STIM1 SOAR domain mediates the binding of STIM1 to both channel types, SOAR is sufficient to open the Orais but the STIM1 polylysine domain mediates opening of the TRPC channels. This short review discusses recent findings on how STIM1 gates and regulates the Orais and TRPCs, and how the STIM1/Orai1/TRPCs complexes may function in vivo to mediate SOC activity.

Abstract
The present study was designed to analyze the molecular basis of the intracellular pH-dependent capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE) of human platelets and megakaryocytic cells, specifically to test the hypothesis that members of the classical transient receptor potential (TRPC) protein family are involved in the CCE pathway that is promoted by intracellular alkalosis. Human platelets as well as the tested megakaryocytic cell lines (CMK cells, MEG-01 cells) and HEK293 cells displayed thapsigargin-induced CCE and responded to monensin with comparable elevation in intracellular pH. Promotion of CCE by monensin-induced intracellular alkalosis, however, was profound in mature platelets, moderate in CMK cells and lacking in MEG-01 cells as well as in HEK293 cells. Analysis of the TRPC expression pattern by immunoblotting revealed that mature platelets and CMK cells express TRPC4 along with TRPC1 and TRPC3, while TRPC4 is lacking in MEG-01 cells. HEK293 cells displayed CCE characteristics as well as lack of TRPC4 expression similar to MEG-01 cells. Over-expression of TRPC4 in HEK293 cells was found to result in a gain of pH-sensitivity of CCE with clearly detectable promotion of CCE in response to monensin. These results suggest that platelet CCE channel complexes contain TRPC4 as a molecular component that determines sensitivity of CCE to intracellular alkalosis.

Abstract
Oscillations of intracellular Ca2+ provide a novel mechanism for sustained activation of cellular processes. Receptor-activated oscillations are mainly thought to occur through rhythmic IP3-dependent store discharge. However, as shown here in HEK293 cells 1 nM orexin-A (Ox-A) acting at OX1 receptors (OX1R) triggered oscillatory Ca2+ responses, requiring external Ca2+. These responses were attenuated by interference with TRPC3 channel (but not TRPC1/4) function using dominant negative constructs, elevated Mg2+ (a blocker of many TRP channels) or inhibition of phospholipase A2. These treatments did not affect Ca2+ oscillations elicited by high concentrations of Ox-A (100 nM) in the absence of external Ca2+. OX1R are thus able to activate TRPC(3)-channel-dependent oscillatory responses independently of store discharge.

Abstract
Glial and glia-derived cells express a variety of receptors for neurotransmitters and hormones, the majority of which evoke both Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores and Ca(2+) entry across the plasma membrane. We investigated the links between histamine H(1) receptor activation, Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores and Ca(2+) influx in human astrocytoma U373 MG cells. Histamine, through a H(1) receptor-mediated effect, evoked an increase in cytoplasmic free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) that occurred in two phases: an initial, transient, increase owing to Ca(2+) mobilization from intracellular pools, and a second, sustained increase dependent on both Ca(2+) influx and continuous receptor occupancy. The characteristics of histamine-induced increases in [Ca(2+)](i) were similar to the capacitative entry evoked by emptying of the Ca(2+) stores with thapsigargine, and different from that observed when Ca(2+) influx was activated with OAG (1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol), a diacylglycerol (DAG) analog. OAG application or increased endogenous DAG, resulting from DAG kinase inhibition, reduced the histamine-induced response. Furthermore, activation of the DAG target, protein kinase C (PKC), by TPA (12-O-tetradecanoyl 4beta-phorbol 13alpha-acetate) resulted in inhibition of the histamine-induced Ca(2+) response, an action prevented by PKC inhibitors. By using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis, mRNAs for transient receptor potential channels (TRPCs) 1, 4, and 6 as well as for STIM1 (stromal-interacting molecule) and Orai1 were found to be expressed in the U373 MG cells, and confocal microscopy using specific antibodies revealed the presence of the corresponding proteins. Therefore, TRPCs may be candidate proteins forming store-operated channels in the U373 MG cell line. Further, our results confirm the involvement of PKC in the regulation of H(1) receptor-induced responses and point out to the existence of a feedback mechanism acting via PKC to limit the increase in [Ca(2+)](i).

Abstract
Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is a major mechanism for Ca(2+) influx. Since SOCE was first proposed two decades ago many techniques have been used in attempting to identify the nature of store-operated Ca(2+) (SOC) channels. The first identified and best-characterised store-operated current is I(CRAC), but a number of other currents activated by Ca(2+) store depletion have also been described. TRPC proteins have long been proposed as SOC channel candidates; however, whether any of the TRPCs function as SOC channels remains controversial. This review attempts to provide an overview of the arguments in favour and against the role of TRPC proteins in the store-operated mechanisms of agonist-activated Ca(2+) entry.

Abstract
Degranulation of mast cells in response to Ag or the calcium mobilizing agent, thapsigargin, is dependent on emptying of intracellular stores of Ca(2+) and the ensuing influx of external Ca(2+), also referred to as store-operated calcium entry. However, it is unlikely that the calcium release-activated calcium channel is the sole mechanism for the entry of Ca(2+) because Sr(2+) and other divalent cations also permeate and support degranulation in stimulated mast cells. In this study we show that influx of Ca(2+) and Sr(2+) as well as degranulation are dependent on the presence of the canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channel protein TRPC5, in addition to STIM1 and Orai1, as demonstrated by knock down of each of these proteins by inhibitory RNAs in a rat mast cell (RBL-2H3) line. Overexpression of STIM1 and Orai1, which are known to be essential components of calcium release-activated calcium channel, allows entry of Ca(2+) but not Sr(2+), whereas overexpression of STIM1 and TRPC5 allows entry of both Ca(2+) and Sr(2+). These and other observations suggest that the Sr(2+)-permeable TRPC5 associates with STIM1 and Orai1 in a stoichiometric manner to enhance entry of Ca(2+) to generate a signal for degranulation.

Abstract
We identified human TRPC3 protein by yeast two-hybrid screening of a human brain cDNA library with human TRPM4b as a bait. Immunoprecipitation and confocal microscopic analyses confirmed the protein-protein interaction between TRPM4b and TRPC3, and these two TRPs were found to be highly colocalized at the plasma membrane of HEK293T cells. Overexpression of TRPM4b suppressed TRPC3-mediated whole cell currents by more than 90% compared to those in TRPC3-expressed HEK293T cells. Furthermore, HEK293T cells stably overexpressing red fluorescent protein (RFP)-TRPM4b exhibited an almost complete abolition of UTP-induced store-operated Ca(2+) entry, which is known to take place via endogenous TRPC channels in HEK293T cells. This study is believed to provide the first clear evidence that TRPM4b interacts physically with TRPC3, a member of a different TRP subfamily, and regulates negatively the channel activity, in turn suppressing store-operated Ca(2+) entry through the TRPC3 channel.

Abstract
In most non-excitable cells, calcium (Ca(2+)) release from the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3))-sensitive intracellular Ca(2+) stores is coupled to Ca(2+) influx through the plasma membrane Ca(2+) channels whose molecular composition is poorly understood. Several members of mammalian TRP-related protein family have been implicated to both receptor- and store-operated Ca(2+) influx. Here we investigated the role of the native transient receptor potential 3 (TRPC3) homologue in mediating the store- and receptor-operated calcium entry in A431 cells. We show that suppression of TRPC3 protein levels by small interfering RNA (siRNA) leads to a significant reduction in store-operated calcium influx without affecting the receptor-operated calcium influx. With single-channel analysis, we further demonstrate that reduction of TRPC3 levels results in suppression of specific subtype of store-operated calcium channels and activation of store-independent channels. Our data suggest that TRPC3 is required for the formation of functional store-operated channels in A431 cells.

Abstract
Although store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) was identified more that two decades ago, understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate and mediate this process continue to pose a major challenge to investigators in this field. Thus, there has been major focus on determining which of the models proposed for this mechanism is valid and conclusively establishing the components of the store-operated calcium (SOC) channel(s). The transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) proteins have been suggested as candidate components of the elusive store-operated Ca(2+) entry channel. While all TRPCs are activated in response to agonist-stimulated phosphatidylinositol 4,5, bisphosphate (PIP(2)) hydrolysis, only some display store-dependent regulation. TRPC1 is currently the strongest candidate component of SOC and is shown to contribute to SOCE in many cell types. Heteromeric interactions of TRPC1 with other TRPCs generate diverse SOC channels. Recent studies have revealed novel components of SOCE, namely the stromal interacting molecule (STIM) and Orai proteins. While STIM1 has been suggested to be the ER-Ca(2+) sensor protein relaying the signal to the plasma membrane for activation of SOCE, Orai1 is reported to be the pore-forming component of CRAC channel that mediates SOCE in T-lymphocytes and other hematopoetic cells. Several studies now demonstrate that TRPC1 also associates with STIM1 suggesting that SOC and CRAC channels are regulated by similar molecular components. Interestingly, TRPC1 is also associated with Orai1 and a TRPC1-Orai1-STIM1 ternary complex contributes to SOC channel function. This review will focus on the diverse SOC channels formed by TRPC1 and the suggestion that TRPC1 might serve as a molecular link that determines their regulation by store-depletion.

Abstract
Receptor-activated Ca(2+) influx is mediated largely by store-operated channels (SOCs). TRPC channels mediate a significant portion of the receptor-activated Ca(2+) influx. However, whether any of the TRPC channels function as a SOC remains controversial. Our understanding of the regulation of TRPC channels and their function as SOCs is being reshaped with the discovery of the role of STIM1 in the regulation of Ca(2+) influx channels. The findings that STIM1 is an ER resident Ca(2+) binding protein that regulates SOCs allow an expanded and molecular definition of SOCs. SOCs can be considered as channels that are regulated by STIM1 and require the clustering of STIM1 in response to depletion of the ER Ca(2+) stores and its translocation towards the plasma membrane. TRPC1 and other TRPC channels fulfill these criteria. STIM1 binds to TRPC1, TRPC2, TRPC4 and TRPC5 but not to TRPC3, TRPC6 and TRPC7, and STIM1 regulates TRPC1 channel activity. Structure-function analysis reveals that the C-terminus of STIM1 contains the binding and gating function of STIM1. The ERM domain of STIM1 binds to TRPC channels and a lysine-rich region participates in the gating of SOCs and TRPC1. Knock-down of STIM1 by siRNA and prevention of its translocation to the plasma membrane inhibit the activity of native SOCs and TRPC1. These findings support the conclusion that TRPC1 is a SOC. Similar studies with other TRPC channels demonstrate their regulation by STIM1 and indicate that all TRPC channels, except TRPC7, function as SOCs.

Abstract
The full-length transient receptor (TRPC)1 polypeptide is composed of about 790 amino acids, and several splice variants are known. The predicted structure and topology is of an integral membrane protein composed of six transmembrane domains, and a cytoplasmic C- and N-terminal domain. The N-terminal domain includes three ankyrin repeat motifs. Antibodies which recognise TRPC1 have been developed, but it has been difficult to obtain antibodies which have high affinity and specificity for TRPC1. This has made studies of the cellular functions of TRPC1 somewhat difficult. The TRPC1 protein is widely expressed in different types of animal cells, and within a given cell is found at the plasma membrane and at intracellular sites. TRPC1 interacts with calmodulin, caveolin-1, the InsP3 receptor, Homer, phospholipase C and several other proteins. Investigations of the biological roles and mechanisms of action of TRPC1 have employed ectopic (over-expression or heterologous expression) of the polypeptide in addition to studies of endogenous TRPC1. Both approaches have encountered difficulties. TRPC1 forms heterotetramers with other TRPC polypeptides resulting in cation channels which are non-selective. TRPC1 may be: a component of the pore of store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOCs); a subsidiary protein in the pathway of activation of SOCs; activated by interaction with InsP3R; and/or activated by stretch. Further experiments are required to resolve the exact roles and mechanisms of activation of TRPC1. Cation entry through the TRPC1 channel is feed-back inhibited by Ca2+ through interaction with calmodulin, and is inhibited by Gd3+, La3+, SKF96365 and 2-APB, and by antibodies targeted to the external mouth of the TRPC1 pore. Activation of TRPC1 leads to the entry to the cytoplasmic space of substantial amounts of Na+ as well as Ca2+. A requirement for TRPC1 is implicated in numerous downstream cellular pathways. The most clearly described roles are in the regulation of growth cone turning in neurons. It is concluded that TRPC1 is a most interesting protein because of the apparent wide variety of its roles and functions and the challenges posed to those attempting to elucidate its primary intracellular functions and mechanisms of action.

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
The canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) cation channels are mammalian homologs of the photoreceptor channel TRP in Drosophila melanogaster. All seven TRPCs (TRPC1 through TRPC7) can be activated through Gq/11 receptors or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) by mechanisms downstream of phospholipase C. The last decade saw a rapidly growing interest in understanding the role of TRPC channels in calcium entry pathways as well as in understanding the signal(s) responsible for TRPC activation. TRPC channels have been proposed to be activated by a variety of signals including store depletion, membrane lipids, and vesicular insertion into the plasma membrane. Here we discuss recent developments in the mode of activation as well as the pharmacological and electrophysiological properties of this important and ubiquitous family of cation channels.

Abstract
Pulmonary vascular remodeling due to overgrowth of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) is a major cause for the elevated vascular resistance in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). Increased cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration, resulting from enhanced capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE) and upregulated transient receptor potential (TRP) channel expression, is involved in stimulating PASMC proliferation. The current study was designed to determine the impact of cAMP, a second messenger that we hypothesized would blunt aspects of PASMC activity, as a possible contributor to IPAH pathophysiology. Short-term (30 min) pretreatment with forskolin (FSK; 10 muM), a direct activator of adenylyl cyclase, in combination with the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase inhibitor isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX; 200 muM), attenuated CCE in PASMC from normal subjects, patients without pulmonary hypertension (NPH), and patients with IPAH. The FSK-mediated CCE inhibition was independent of protein kinase A (PKA), because the PKA inhibitor H89 negligibly affected the decrease in CCE produced by cAMP. By contrast, longer (4 h) treatment with FSK (with IBMX) attenuated CCE in normal and NPH PASMC but enhanced CCE in IPAH PASMC. This enhancement of CCE was abolished by PKA inhibition and associated with an upregulation of TRPC3. In addition, cAMP increased TRPC1 mRNA expression in IPAH (but not in normal or NPH) PASMC, an effect blunted by H89. Furthermore, iloprost, a prostacyclin analog that increases cAMP, downregulated TRPC3 expression in IPAH PASMC and FSK-mediated cAMP increase inhibited IPAH PASMC proliferation. Although a rapid rise in cellular cAMP decreases CCE by a PKA-independent mechanism, sustained cAMP increase inhibits CCE in normal and NPH PASMC but increases CCE via a PKA-dependent pathway in IPAH PASMC. The divergent effect of cAMP on CCE parallels effects on TRPC expression. The results suggest that the combined use of a PKA inhibitor and cAMP-elevating drugs may provide a novel approach for treatment of IPAH.

Abstract
Depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores induces Ca2+ influx across the plasma membrane through store-operated channels (SOCs). This store-operated Ca2+ influx is important for the replenishment of the Ca2+ stores, and is also involved in many signaling processes by virtue of the ability of intracellular Ca2+ to act as a second messenger. For many years, the molecular identities of particular SOCs, as well as the signaling mechanisms by which these channels are activated, have been elusive. Recently, however, the mammalian proteins STIM1 and Orai1 were shown to be necessary for the activation of store-operated Ca2+ entry in a variety of mammalian cells. Here we present molecular, pharmacological, and electrophysiological properties of SOCs, with particular focus on the roles that STIM1 and Orai1 may play in the signaling processes that regulate various pathways of store-operated entry.

Abstract
Ca(2+) signaling regulates many important physiological events within a diverse set of living organisms. In particular, sustained Ca(2+) signals play an important role in controlling cell proliferation, cell differentiation and the activation of immune cells. Two key elements for the generation of sustained Ca(2+) signals are store-operated and receptor-operated Ca(2+) channels that are activated downstream of phospholipase C (PLC) stimulation, in response to G-protein-coupled receptor or growth factor receptor stimulation. One goal of this review is to help clarify the role of canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) proteins in the formation of native store-operated and native receptor-operated channels. Toward that end, data from studies of endogenous TRPC proteins will be reviewed in detail to highlight the strong case for the involvement of certain TRPC proteins in the formation of one subtype of store-operated channel, which exhibits a low Ca(2+)-selectivity, in contrast to the high Ca(2+)-selectivity exhibited by the CRAC subtype of store-operated channel. A second goal of this review is to highlight the growing body of evidence indicating that native store-operated and native receptor-operated channels are formed by the heteromultimerization of TRPC subunits. Furthermore, evidence will be provided to argue that some TRPC proteins are able to form multiple channel types.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca(2+) channels (SOCs) mediate receptor-stimulated Ca(2+) influx. Accumulating evidence indicates that members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel family are components of SOCs in mammalian cells. Agonist stimulation activates SOCs and TRP channels directly and by inducing translocation of channels in intracellular vesicles to the plasma membrane (PM). The mechanism of TRP channel translocation in response to store depletion and agonist stimulation is not known. Here we use TRPC3 as a model to show that IP(3) and the scaffold Homer 1 (H1) regulate the rate of translocation and retrieval of TRPC3 from the PM. In resting cells, TRPC3 exists in TRPC3-H1b/c-IP(3)Rs complexes that are located in part at the PM and in part in intracellular vesicles. Binding of IP(3) to the IP(3)Rs dissociates the interaction between IP(3)Rs and H1 but not between H1 and TRPC3 to form IP(3)Rs-TRPC3-H1b/c. TIRFM and biotinylation assays show robust receptor- and store-dependent translocation of the TRPC3 to the PM and their retrieval upon termination of cell stimulation. The translocation requires depletion of stored Ca(2+) and is prevented by inhibition of the IP(3)Rs. In HEK293, dissociating the H1b/c-IP(3)R complex with H1a results in TRPC3 translocation to the PM, where it is spontaneously active. The TRPC3-H1b/c-IP(3)Rs complex is reconstituted by infusing H1c into these cells. Reconstitution is inhibited by IP(3). Deletion of H1 in mice markedly reduces the rates of translocation and retrieval of TRPC3. Conversely, infusion of H1c into H1(-/-) cells eliminates spontaneous channel activity and increases the rate of channel activation by agonist stimulation. The effects of H1c are inhibited by IP(3). These findings together with our earlier studies demonstrating gating of TRPC3 by IP(3)Rs were used to develop a model in which assembly of the TRPC3-H1b/c-IP(3)Rs complexes by H1b/c mediates both the translocation of TRPC3-containing vesicles to the PM and gating of TRPC3 by IP(3)Rs.

Abstract
In skeletal muscle, Ca(2+) is implicated in contraction, and in regulation of gene expression. An alteration of [Ca(2+)](i) homeostasis is responsible, at least partially, for the muscle degeneration that occurs after eccentric contractions in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a disease characterized by the loss of the cytoskeletal protein dystrophin. Using patch clamp in the cell-attached configuration, we characterized the store-operated channels (SOCs) and the stretch-activated channels (SACs) present in isolated mouse skeletal muscle. SOCs were voltage independent, had a unitary conductance between 7 and 8 pS (110 mm Ca(2+) in the pipette), and their open probability increased when the sarcoplasmic reticulum was depleted by thapsigargin. These SOCs were identical to those previously described in the pathophysiology of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Under the same experimental conditions, we detected a channel activity that was increased by applying a negative pressure to the patch electrode. The SACs responsible for this current had the same unitary conductance and current-voltage relationship as those observed for SOCs. SOCs and SACs had a similar sensitivity to pharmacological agents such as Gd(3+), SKF-96365, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate and GsMTx4 toxin. Moreover, stimulation with IGF-1 increased the occurrence of the activity of both channel types. Together, these observations suggest that SOCs and SACs might belong to the same population or share common constituents. From a functional point of view, treatment of soleus muscle with SKF-96365 or GsMTx4 toxin increased its sensitivity to a fatigue protocol, suggesting that the influx of Ca(2+) that occurs through these channels during contraction is also involved in force maintaining during repeated stimulations.

Abstract
TRPC calcium channels are emerging as a ubiquitous feature of vertebrate cells, but understanding of them is hampered by limited knowledge of the mechanisms of activation and identity of endogenous regulators. We have revealed that one of the TRPC channels, TRPC5, is strongly activated by common endogenous lysophospholipids including lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) but, by contrast, not arachidonic acid. Although TRPC5 was stimulated by agonists at G-protein-coupled receptors, TRPC5 activation by LPC occurred downstream and independently of G-protein signaling. The effect was not due to the generation of reactive oxygen species or because of a detergent effect of LPC. LPC activated TRPC5 when applied to excised membrane patches and thus has a relatively direct action on the channel structure, either because of a phospholipid binding site on the channel or because of sensitivity of the channel to perturbation of the bilayer by certain lipids. Activation showed dependence on side-chain length and the chemical head-group. The data revealed a previously unrecognized lysophospholipid-sensing capability of TRPC5 that confers the property of a lipid ionotropic receptor.

Abstract
A major pathway for Ca(2+) entry in non-excitable cells is activated following depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores. A de novo conformational coupling between elements in the plasma membrane (PM) and Ca(2+) stores has been proposed as the most likely mechanism to activate this capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE) in several cell types, including platelets. Here we report that a cytochrome P450 metabolite, 5,6-EET, might be a component of the de novo conformational coupling in human platelets. In these cells, 5,6-EET induces divalent cation entry without having any detectable effect on Ca(2+) store depletion. 5,6-EET-induced Ca(2+) entry was sensitive to the CCE blockers 2-APB, lanthanum, SKF-96365 and nickel and impaired by incubation with anti-hTRPC1 antibody. Ca(2+) entry stimulated by low concentrations of thapsigargin, which selectively depletes the dense tubular system and induces EET production, was impaired by the cytochrome P450 inhibitor 17-ODYA, which has no effect on CCE mediated by depletion of the acidic stores using 2,5-di-(tert-butyl)-1,4-hydroquinone. We have found that 5,6-EET-induced Ca(2+) entry requires basal levels of H(2)O(2), which might maintain a redox state favourable for this event. Finally, our results indicate that 5,6-EET induces the activation of tyrosine kinase proteins and the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, which might provide a support for the transport of portions of the Ca(2+) store towards the PM to facilitate de novo coupling between IP(3)R type II and hTRPC1 detected by coimmunoprecipitation. We propose that the involvement of 5,6-EET in TG-induced coupling between IP(3)R type II and hTRPC1 and subsequently CCE is compatible with the de novo conformational coupling in human platelets.

Abstract
We have reported previously that Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta9-THC) treatment of resting human and murine splenic T cells robustly elevated intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i). The objective of the present investigation was to examine the putative role of [Ca2+]i store depletion and store-operated calcium (SOC) and receptor-operated cation (ROC) channels in the mechanism by which Delta9-THC increases [Ca2+]i in the cannabinoid-2 receptor-expressing human peripheral blood-acute lymphoid leukemia (HPB-ALL) human T cell line. By using the smooth endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase pump inhibitor, thapsigargin, and the ryanodine receptor antagonist, 8-bromo-cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose, we demonstrate that the Delta9-THC-mediated elevation in [Ca2+]i occurs independently of [Ca2+]i store depletion. Furthermore, the ROC channel inhibitor, SK&F 96365 was more efficacious at attenuating the Delta9-THC-mediated elevation in [Ca2+]i than SOC channel inhibitors, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate and La3+. Recently, several members of the transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channel subfamily have been suggested to operate as SOC or ROC channels. In the present studies, treatment of HPB-ALL cells with 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG), a cell-permeant analog of diacylglycerol (DAG), which gates several members of the TRPC channel subfamily, rapidly elevated [Ca2+]i, as well as prevented a subsequent, additive elevation in [Ca2+]i by Delta9-THC, independent of protein kinase C. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis for TRPC1-7 showed that HPB-ALL cells express detectable mRNA levels of only TRPC1. Finally, small interference RNA knockdown of TRPC1 attenuated the Delta9-THC-mediated elevation of [Ca2+]i. Collectively, these results suggest that Delta9-THC-induced elevation in [Ca2+]i is attributable entirely to extracellular calcium influx, which is independent of [Ca2+]i store depletion, and is mediated, at least partially, through the DAG-sensitive TRPC1 channels.

Abstract
We have previously suggested that the human homologue of the Drosophila transient receptor potential protein, TRPC1, is involved in conducting store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) in human platelets since an antibody raised against the pore-forming region of TRPC1 inhibited SOCE. Here we have investigated plasma membrane expression of TRPC1 in human platelets and have probed for the presence of other TRPC proteins in these cells. Biotinylation revealed the presence of TRPC1 in the plasma membrane of resting platelets. Surface expression was not detectibly changed following Ca2+ store depletion or stimulation with thrombin. Western blotting demonstrated the presence of TRPC1, TRPC3, TRPC4, TRPC5 and TRPC6 in platelet lysates. TRPC1, TRPC4 and TRPC5 coimmunoprecipitated, as did TRPC3 and TRPC6. TRPC1, TRPC4 and TRPC5 were associated with detergent-resistant platelet membranes, from which they were partially released when the cells were cholesterol-depleted using methyl-beta-cyclodextrin. The distributions of TRPC3 and TRPC6 between soluble and membrane fractions were not affected by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin treatment. These results suggest that TRPC1, TRPC4 and TRPC5 form a heteromultimer associated with platelet lipid raft domains, whereas TRPC3 and TRPC6 associate independently of lipid rafts.

Abstract
Endogenously expressed canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) homologs were investigated for their role in forming store-operated, 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol-stimulated, or carbachol (CCh)-stimulated calcium entry pathways in HEK-293 cells. Measurement of thapsigargin-stimulated Ba(2+) entry indicated that the individual suppression of TRPC1, TRPC3, or TRPC7 protein levels, by small interfering RNA (siRNA) techniques, dramatically inhibited (52-68%) store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), whereas suppression of TRPC4 or TRPC6 had no effect. Combined suppression of TRPC1-TRPC3, TRPC1-TRPC7, TRPC3-TRPC7, or TRPC1-TRPC3-TRPC7 gave only slightly more inhibition of SOCE (74-78%) than seen with suppression of TRPC1 alone (68%), suggesting that these three TRPC homologs work in tandem to mediate a large component of SOCE. Evidence from co-immunoprecipitation experiments indicates that a TRPC1-TRPC3-TRPC7 complex, predicted from siRNA results, does exist. The suppression of either TRPC3 or TRPC7, but not TRPC1, induced a high Ba(2+) leak flux that was inhibited by 2-APB and SKF96365, suggesting that the influx is via leaky store-operated channels. The high Ba(2+) leak flux is eliminated by co-suppression of TRPC1-TRPC3 or TRPC1-TRPC7. For 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol-stimulated cells, siRNA data indicate that TRPC1 plays no role in mediating Ba(2+) entry, which appears to be mediated by the participation of TRPC3, TRPC4, TRPC6, and TRPC7. CCh-stimulated Ba(2+) entry, on the other hand, could be inhibited by suppression of any of the five endogenously expressed TRPC homologs, with the degree of inhibition being consistent with CCh stimulation of both store-operated and receptor-operated channels. In summary, endogenous TRPC1, TRPC3, and TRPC7 participate in forming heteromeric store-operated channels, whereas TRPC3 and TRPC7 can also participate in forming heteromeric receptor-operated channels.

Abstract
RATIONALE In chronic heart failure, the lung endothelial permeability response to angiotensin II or thapsigargin-induced store depletion is ablated, although the mechanisms are not understood. OBJECTIVES To determine whether the ablated permeability response to store depletion during heart failure was due to impaired expression of store operated Ca2+ channels in lung endothelium. METHODS Heart failure was induced by aortocaval fistula in rats. Permeability was measured in isolated lungs using the filtration coefficient and a low Ca2+/Ca2+ add-back strategy to identify the component of the permeability response dependent on Ca2+ entry. MAIN RESULTS In fistulas, right ventricular mass and left ventricular end diastolic pressure were increased and left ventricular shortening fraction decreased compared with shams. Thapsigargin-induced store depletion increased lung endothelial permeability in shams, but not in fistulas. Permeability increased in both groups after the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 or 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid, independent of store depletion. A diacylglycerol analog had no impact on permeability. Increased distance between the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasmalemmal membrane was ruled out as a mechanism for the loss of the permeability response to store depletion. Endothelial expression of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase was not altered in fistulas compared with shams, whereas the store-operated canonical transient receptor potential channels 1, 3, and 4 were downregulated in extraalveolar vessel endothelium. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that the adaptive mechanism limiting store depletion-induced endothelial lung injury in the aortocaval model of heart failure involves downregulation of store-operated Ca2+ channels.

Abstract
Prostate smooth muscle cells predominantly express alpha1-adrenoceptors (alpha1-AR). alpha1-AR antagonists induce prostate smooth muscle relaxation and therefore they are useful therapeutic compounds for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms. However, the Ca(2+) entry pathways associated with the activation of alpha1-AR in the prostate have yet to be elucidated. In many cell types, mammalian homologues of transient receptor potential (TRP) genes, first identified in Drosophila, encode TRPC (canonical TRP) proteins. They function as receptor-operated channels (ROCs) which are involved in various physiological processes such as contraction, proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. To date, the expression and function of TRPC channels have not been studied in prostate smooth muscle. In fura-2 loaded PS1 (a prostate smooth muscle cell line) which express endogenous alpha1A-ARs, alpha-agonists epinephrine (EPI), and phenylephrine (PHE) induced Ca(2+) influx which depended on the extracellular Ca(2+) and PLC activation but was independent of PKC activation. Thus, we have tested two membrane-permeable analogues of diacylglycerol (DAG), oleoyl-acyl-sn-glycerol (OAG) and 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (DOG). They initiated Ca(2+) influx whose properties were similar to those induced by the alpha-agonists. Sensitivity to 2-aminoethyl diphenylborate (2-APB), SKF-96365 and flufenamate implies that Ca(2+)-permeable channels mediated both alpha-agonist- and OAG-evoked Ca(2+) influx. Following the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) store depletion by thapsigargin (Tg), a SERCA inhibitor, OAG and PHE were both still able to activate Ca(2+) influx. However, OAG failed to enhance Ca(2+) influx when added in the presence of an alpha-agonist. RT-PCR and Western blotting performed on PS1 cells revealed the presence of mRNAs and the corresponding TRPC3 and TRPC6 proteins. Experiments using an antisense strategy showed that both alpha-agonist- and OAG-induced Ca(2+) influx required TRPC3 and TRPC6, whereas the Tg-activated ("capacitative") Ca(2+) entry involved only TRPC3 encoded protein. It may be thus concluded that PS1 cells express TRPC3 and TRPC6 proteins which function as receptor- and store-operated Ca(2+) entry pathways.

Abstract
Since their identification in the concluding years of the last century, the mammalian transient receptor potential (canonical) (TRPC) channels have remained in the limelight as the primary candidates for the Ca(2+) entry pathway activated by the hormones, growth factors, and neurotransmitters that exert their effect through activation of PLC. Although TRPC channels have been shown clearly to mediate, at least in part, receptor-activated Ca(2+) entry in literally all cell types, several of their central characteristics, as recorded in expression systems using recombinant channels, differ from those of the native receptor-dependent Ca(2+) influx channels. The present review attempts to highlight the interaction of TRPC channels with other proteins, which may explain the variability of TRPC channel activation and regulatory mechanisms observed with the native and recombinant channels. These include the homologous and heterotopous interactions of TRPC channel isoforms, the interaction of TRPC channels with calmodulin, PLCgamma, IP(3) receptors, and with scaffolding proteins like InaD, EBP50/NEHRF, caveolin, Janctate and Homers.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential canonical 1 (TRPC1) is a transmembrane protein expressed in a range of vertebrate cells including smooth muscle, endothelium, neurones and salivary gland cells. It functions as an element of a mixed cationic Ca(2+)-permeable channel, probably commonly as part of a heterotetrameric assembly involving other related proteins such as TRPC5. Wide-ranging biological roles of TRPC1 are suggested, including regulation of smooth muscle and stem cell proliferation, endothelin-evoked arterial contraction, salivary gland secretion, endothelial permeability, glutamatergic neurotransmission, growth cone turning, neuroprotection, neuronal differentiation, lipid raft integrity and the nuclear factor of activated T-cell transcription factor. The mechanisms by which TRPC1 serves these functions are starting to emerge. At one level, it is apparent that TRPC1 is subcellularly compartmentalised, at least in part in cholesterol-rich caveolae closely associated with sub-plasmalemmal endoplasmic reticulum. At another level, TRPC1 is embedded in a protein complex that can include inositol trisphosphate receptor, homer, calmodulin, caveolin-1, FKBP25, I-mfa, MxA, GluR1alpha, bFGFR-1, G(q/11) protein, phospholipase C-beta/gamma, protein kinase C-alpha and RhoA. It is also apparent that TRPC1 responds to general stimuli-not only depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores, but also receptor activation, and membrane stretch. We are at the early stages of understanding of how these various signals and components integrate to form a functional channel, and this article provides a brief overview of current progress.

Abstract
Ion channels formed by canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) proteins are considered to be key players in cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis. As permeation of Ca(2+) through TRPC homo- and/or heteromeric channels has been repeatedly demonstrated, analysis of the physiological role of TRPC proteins was so far based on the concept that these proteins form regulated Ca(2+) entry channels. The well-recognized lack of cation selectivity of TRPC channels and the ability to generate substantial monovalent conductances that govern membrane potential and cation gradients were barely appreciated as a physiologically relevant issue. Nonetheless, recent studies suggest monovalent, specifically Na(+) permeation through TRPC cation channels as an important event in TRPC signaling. TRPC-mediated Na(+) entry may be converted into a distinct pattern of cellular Ca(2+) signals by interaction with Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger proteins. This review discusses current concepts regarding the link between Na(+) entry through TRPC channels and cellular Ca(2+) signaling.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential channels (TRP) have emerged as cellular sensors of various internal and external cues. Generally, the activation of TRP canonical (TRPC) channels is triggered by the stimulation of phospholipase C; however, multiple factors are involved in the regulation of these channels. Among them, Ca(2+)-mediated feedback channel modulations are often mediated by calmodulin (CaM) and other Ca(2+)-binding proteins. In vitro binding studies have revealed multiple CaM-binding sites on TRPC proteins. Among them, a common CaM/inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor-binding site is found at the carboxyl terminus of every TRPC isoform. Additional non-conserved CaM-binding sites are present at the amino and carboxyl termini of several TRPC proteins. Likewise, multiple CaM-binding sites were found in other TRP proteins. These, together with the presence in close vicinity of the interaction sites for the related neuronal Ca(2+)-binding proteins, such as CaBP1, suggest a multitude of diverse intracellular Ca(2+)-dependent regulations of TRP channels. Functional studies have begun to reveal the unique roles of CaM and CaBP1 binding to several TRP channels. This review will focus on the CaM- and CaBP1-mediated regulations of TRPC channels. Related studies on TRPM and TRPV channels will also be highlighted.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins have been recognized as sensors for a wide variety of external and internal signals involved in maintenance of cellular homeostasis and control of physiological functions. Evidence of a striking versatility in terms of signal integration and transduction has been reported for members of the canonical (or classical) TRP subfamily (TRPCs). TRPC species are cation channel subunits and emerge as multifunctional signal transduction molecules that are able to function as components of divergent signalplexes. Results obtained in heterologous expression systems suggest TRPC3 as a paradigm of multifunctional signal transduction by a cation channel protein. TRPC3 serves cellular Ca(2+) signaling by multiple mechanisms and may control a variety of distinct physiological functions. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the properties and possible signaling partners of TRPC3, and discuss the role of TRPC3 channel proteins in cellular signaling networks.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ (SOC) channels regulate many cellular processes, but the underlying molecular components are not well defined. Using an RNA interference (RNAi)-based screen to identify genes that alter thapsigargin (TG)-dependent Ca2+ entry, we discovered a required and conserved role of Stim in SOC influx. RNAi-mediated knockdown of Stim in Drosophila S2 cells significantly reduced TG-dependent Ca2+ entry. Patch-clamp recording revealed nearly complete suppression of the Drosophila Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) current that has biophysical characteristics similar to CRAC current in human T cells. Similarly, knockdown of the human homologue STIM1 significantly reduced CRAC channel activity in Jurkat T cells. RNAi-mediated knockdown of STIM1 inhibited TG- or agonist-dependent Ca2+ entry in HEK293 or SH-SY5Y cells. Conversely, overexpression of STIM1 in HEK293 cells modestly enhanced TG-induced Ca2+ entry. We propose that STIM1, a ubiquitously expressed protein that is conserved from Drosophila to mammalian cells, plays an essential role in SOC influx and may be a common component of SOC and CRAC channels.

Abstract
Regardless of the triggering stimulus in asthma, contraction of the airway smooth muscle (ASM) is considered to be an important pathway leading to the manifestation of asthmatic symptoms. Therefore, the various ion channels that modulate ASM contraction and relaxation are particularly attractive targets for therapy. Although voltage-operated Ca2+ channels (VOCC) are the most extensively characterised Ca(2+)-permeable channels in ASM cells and are obvious pharmacological targets, blockers of VOCC have not been successful in alleviating ASM contraction in asthma. Similarly, although the Cl- and K+ channels also modulate ASM contraction and relaxation by regulating plasma membrane potential, pharmacological interventions directed against these channels have failed to abrogate ASM contraction in asthma. A large body of evidence suggests that store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOCC) and Ca(2+)-permeable second messenger-activated non-selective cation channels (NSCC) predominantly mediate ASM contraction. However, development of pharmacological interventions involving these channels has been hampered by the paucity of information regarding their molecular identity. Members of the mammalian transient receptor potential (TRP) protein family, which form voltage-independent channels with variable Ca2+ selectivity that are activated by store depletion and/or by intracellular messengers, are potential molecular candidates for SOCC and NSCC in ASM cells. While the function of TRP channels in ASM cells remains to be elucidated and there are, at present, essentially no good TRP channel antagonists, this group of proteins is a potentially valuable pharmaceutical target for the treatment of asthma.

Abstract
Transient Receptor Potential-Canonical (TRPC) channels are mammalian homologs of Transient Receptor Potential (TRP), a Ca(2+)-permeable channel involved in the phospholipase C-regulated photoreceptor activation mechanism in Drosophila. The seven mammalian TRPCs constitute a family of channels which have been proposed to function as store-operated as well as second messenger-operated channels in a variety of cell types. TRPC channels, together with other more distantly related channel families, make up the larger TRP channel superfamily. This review summarizes recent findings on the structure, regulation and function of the apparently ubiquitous TRPC cation channels.

Abstract
The mechanism(s) involved in agonist-stimulation of TRPC3 channels is not yet known. Here we demonstrate that TRPC3-N terminus interacts with VAMP2 and alphaSNAP. Further, endogenous and exogenously expressed TRPC3 colocalized and coimmunoprecipitated with SNARE proteins in neuronal and epithelial cells. Imaging of GFP-TRPC3 revealed its localization in the plasma membrane region and in mobile intracellular vesicles. Recovery of TRPC3-GFP fluorescence after photobleaching of the plasma membrane region was decreased by brefeldin-A or BAPTA-AM. Cleavage of VAMP2 with tetanus toxin (TeNT) did not prevent delivery of TRPC3 to the plasma membrane region but reduced its surface expression. TeNT also decreased carbachol and OAG, but not thapsigargin, stimulated Ca2+ influx. Importantly, carbachol, not thapsigargin, increased surface expression of TRPC3 that was attenuated by TeNT and not by BAPTA. In aggregate, these data suggest that VAMP2-dependent exocytosis regulates plasma membrane insertion of TRPC3 channels and contributes to carbachol-stimulation of Ca2+ influx.
