Abstract
ABSTRACT Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) plays important roles in arterial functions and the fate of cells. To further understand its function in vascular remodeling, we examined whether CFTR directly regulates platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB)-stimulated vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation and migration, as well as the balloon injury-induced neointimal formation. The CFTR adenoviral gene delivery was used to evaluate the effects of CFTR on neointimal formation in a rat model of carotid artery balloon injury. The roles of CFTR in PDGF-BB-stimulated VSMC proliferation and migration were detected by mitochondrial tetrazolium assay, wound healing assay, transwell chamber method, western blot, and qPCR. We found that CFTR expression was declined in injured rat carotid arteries, while adenoviral overexpression of CFTR in vivo attenuated neointimal formation in carotid arteries. CFTR overexpression inhibited PDGF-BB-induced VSMC proliferation and migration, whereas CFTR silencing caused the opposite results. Mechanistically, CFTR suppressed the phosphorylation of PDGF receptor β, serum and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 1, JNK, p38 and ERK induced by PDGF-BB, and the increased mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and MMP2 induced by PDGF-BB. In conclusion, our results indicated that CFTR may attenuate neointimal formation by suppressing PDGF-BB-induced activation of serum and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 1 and the JNK/p38/ERK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is leading cause of deaths in DM patients. However, there are limited effective medical therapies for diabetic CVD. Vascular endothelial injury caused by DM is a critical risk factor for diabetic CVD. Previous study has indicated that Angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)) may prevent diabetic CVD, whereas it is not clear that Ang-(1-7) whether attenuates diabetic CVD through suppressing vascular endothelial injury. In this study, we found that Ang-(1-7) alleviated high glucose (HG)-induced endothelial injury in bEnd3 cells. Moreover, Ang-(1-7) ameliorated HG-induced endothelial injury through downregulating chloride channel 3 (CIC-3) via Mas receptor. Furthermore, HG-induced CIC-3 enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cytokine production and reduced the level of nitric oxide (NO), while Ang-(1-7) preserved the impact of HG-induced CIC-3 on productions of ROS, cytokine and NO through inhibiting CIC-3 via Mas receptor. Summarily, the present study revealed that Ang-(1-7) alleviated HG-induced vascular endothelial injury through the inhibition of CIC-3, suggested that Ang-(1-7) may preserve diabetic CVD through suppressing HG-induced vascular endothelial injury.

Abstract
The present review will focus on the role of chloride anion in cardiovascular disease, with special emphasis in the development of hypertensive disease and vascular inflammation. It is known that acute and chronic overload of sodium chloride increase blood pressure and have pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic effects on different target organs, but it is unknown how chloride may influence these processes. Chloride anion is the predominant anion in the extracellular fluid and its intracellular concentration is dynamically regulated. As the queen of the electrolytes, it is of crucial importance to understand the physiological mechanisms that regulate the cellular handling of this anion including the different transporters and cellular chloride channels, which exert a variety of functions, such as regulation of cellular proliferation, differentiation, migration, apoptosis, intracellular pH and cellular redox state. In this article, we will also review the relationship between dietary, serum and intracellular chloride and how these different sources of chloride in the organism are affected in hypertension and their impact on cardiovascular disease. Additionally, we will discuss the approach of potential strategies that affect chloride handling and its potential effect on cardiovascular system, including pharmacological blockade of chloride channels and non-pharmacological interventions by replacing chloride by another anion.

Abstract
Chloride channel 3 (ClC-3), a Cl-/H+ antiporter, has been well established as a member of volume-regulated chloride channels (VRCCs). ClC-3 may be a crucial mediator for activating inflammation-associated signaling pathways by regulating protein phosphorylation. A growing number of studies have indicated that ClC-3 overexpression plays a crucial role in mediating increased plasma low-density lipoprotein levels, vascular endothelium dysfunction, pro-inflammatory activation of macrophages, hyper-proliferation and hyper-migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), as well as oxidative stress and foam cell formation, which are the main factors responsible for atherosclerotic plaque formation in the arterial wall. In the present review, we summarize the molecular structures and classical functions of ClC-3. We further discuss its emerging role in the atherosclerotic process. In conclusion, we explore the potential role of ClC-3 as a therapeutic target for atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Sex determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2) is a transcription factor that serves a role in numerous different types of malignant cancer. Altered expression of chloride channel proteins has been described in a variety of malignancies. However, the association between SOX2 and chloride channel proteins is not yet fully understood. The present study investigated the association between SOX2 and chloride voltage-gated channel 3 (CLC-3) in prostate cancer. Flow cytometry demonstrated that the inactivation of CLC-3 or SOX2 arrested cell cycle progression in the G0/G1 phase. Furthermore, CLC-3 was observed to bind to SOX2, and vice versa, by co-immunoprecipitation. SOX2 appears to initiate and maintain prostate cancer tumorigenesis, in part, by modulating the cell cycle. These findings indicate the potential of SOX2 and CLC-3 as targets for the development of multi-targeted therapeutics.

Abstract
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play a pivotal role in the stability and tonic regulation of vascular homeostasis. VSMCs can switch back and forth between highly proliferative (synthetic) and fully differentiated (contractile) phenotypes in response to changes in the vessel environment. Abnormal phenotypic switching of VSMCs is a distinctive characteristic of vascular disorders, including atherosclerosis, pulmonary hypertension, stroke, and peripheral artery disease; however, how the control of VSMC phenotypic switching is dysregulated under pathological conditions remains obscure. Canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels have attracted attention as a key regulator of pathological phenotype switching in VSMCs. Several TRPC subfamily member proteins—especially TRPC1 and TRPC6—are upregulated in pathological VSMCs, and pharmacological inhibition of TRPC channel activity has been reported to improve hypertensive vascular remodeling in rodents. This review summarizes the current understanding of the role of TRPC channels in cardiovascular plasticity, including our recent finding that TRPC6 participates in aberrant VSMC phenotype switching under ischemic conditions, and discusses the therapeutic potential of TRPC channels.

MicroRNA-205-5p inhibits three-dimensional spheroid proliferation of ErbB2-overexpressing breast epithelial cells through direct targeting of CLCN3. PeerJ 2019; 7:e7799.

Abstract
We previously reported that microRNA-205-5p (miR-205-5p) is significantly decreased in the ErbB2-overexpressing breast epithelial cell line MCF10A-ErbB2 compared with control cells. In this study, we identified a direct target of miR-205-5p, chloride voltage-gated channel 3 (CLCN3). CLCN3 expression was induced by ErbB2 overexpression; this induced expression was then reduced to control levels by the transfection of the miR-205-5p precursor. In RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation with Ago1/2/3 antibody, CLCN3 was significantly enriched in 293T embryonic kidney cells with miR-205-5p mimic transfection compared with negative control mimic transfection. In luciferase reporter assays using CLCN3 3'-UTR constructs, the miR-205-5p mimic significantly decreased reporter activity of both wild-type and partial mutant constructs in MCF10A-ErbB2 cells. In contrast, no inhibitory effects of the miR-205-5p mimic were detected using the complete mutant constructs. Since miR-205-5p expression in exosomes derived from MCF10A-neo cells was substantially higher than in exosomes derived from MCF10A-ErbB2 cells, we next investigated whether an exosome-mediated miR-205-5p transfer could control CLCN3 expression. To this end, exosomal miR-205-5p derived from MCF10A-neo cells was functionally transferred to MCF10A-ErbB2 cells, which served to decrease the expression of CLCN3. To assess the roles of CLCN3 in breast cancer, we next performed three-dimensional (3D) spheroid proliferation analyses using MCF10A-ErbB2 cells treated with MCF10A-neo-derived exosomes or CLCN3 shRNA stably expressing SKBR3 and MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cells. Our results showed that both treatment with MCF10A-neo-derived exosome and CLCN3 shRNA expression suppressed 3D spheroid proliferation. Collectively, these novel findings suggest that CLCN3 may be a novel direct target of miR-205-5p and this CLCN3/miR-205-5p interaction may serve a pivotal role in regulating breast cancer cellular proliferation under physiological conditions.

Abstract
Kv channels are present in virtually all VSMCs and strongly influence contractile responses. However, they are also instrumental in the proliferative, migratory, and secretory functions of synthetic, dedifferentiated VSMCs upon PM. In fact, Kv channels not only contribute to all these processes but also are active players in the phenotypic switch itself. This review is focused on the role(s) of Kv channels in VSMC proliferation, which is one of the best characterized functions of dedifferentiated VSMCs. VSMC proliferation is a complex process requiring specific Kv channels at specific time and locations. Their identification is further complicated by their large diversity and the differences in expression across vascular beds. Of interest, both conserved changes in some Kv channels and vascular bed-specific regulation of others seem to coexist and participate in VSMC proliferation through complementary mechanisms. Such a system will add flexibility to the process while providing the required robustness to preserve this fundamental cellular response.

Abstract
Membrane potential (Vmem) is a key bioelectric property of non-excitable cells that plays important roles in regulating cell proliferation. However, the regulation of Vmem itself remains largely unexplored. We found that, under nutrient starvation, during which cell division is inhibited, MKN45 gastric cancer cells were in a hyperpolarized state associated with a high intracellular chloride concentration. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity increased, and expression of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) decreased, in nutrient-starved cells. Furthermore, the increase in intracellular chloride concentration level and Vmem hyperpolarization in nutrient-starved cells was suppressed by inhibition of AMPK activity. Intracellular chloride concentrations and hyperpolarization increased after over-activation of AMPK using the specific activator AICAR or suppression of CFTR activity using specific inhibitor GlyH-101. Under these conditions, proliferation of MKN45 cells was inhibited. These results reveal that AMPK controls the dynamic change in Vmem by regulating CFTR and influencing the intracellular chloride concentration, which in turn influences cell-cycle progression. These findings offer new insights into the mechanisms underlying cell-cycle arrest regulated by AMPK and CFTR.

Abstract
Resistance to bortezomib (BZ) is the major problem that largely limits its clinical application in multiple myeloma treatment. In the current study, we investigated whether ClC5, a member of the chloride channel family, is involved in this process. The MTT assay showed that BZ treatment decreased cell viability in three multiple myeloma cell lines (ARH77, U266, and SKO-007), with IC50 values of 2.83, 4.37, and 1.91 nM, respectively. Moreover, BZ increased the conversion of LC3B-I to LC3B-II and expressions of beclin-1 and ATG5, concomitantly with a decreased p62 expression. Pharmacological inhibition of autophagy with 3-MA facilitated cell death in response to BZ treatment. Additionally, BZ increased ClC5 protein expression in ARH77, U266, and SKO-007 cells. Knockdown of ClC5 with small interfering RNA sensitized cells to BZ treatment, and upregulation of ClC5 induced chemoresistance to BZ. Furthermore, ClC5 downregulation promoted BZ-induced LC3B-I to LC3B-II conversion and beclin-1 expression, whereas overexpression of ClC5 showed the opposite results in ARH77 cells. Finally, BZ induced dephosphorylation of AKT and mTOR, which was significantly attenuated by ClC5 inhibition. However, ClC5 upregulation further enhanced AKT and mTOR dephosphorylation induced by BZ. Our study demonstrates that ClC5 induces chemoresistance of multiple myeloma cells to BZ via increasing prosurvival autophagy by inhibiting the AKT–mTOR pathway. These data suggest that ClC5 may play a critical role in future multiple myeloma treatment strategies.

Abstract
Chloride intracellular channels (CLIC) are non-classical ion channels lacking a signal sequence for membrane targeting. In eukaryotes, they are implicated in cell volume regulation, acidification, and cell cycle. CLICs resemble the omega class of Glutathione S-transferases (GST), yet differ from them in their ability to form ion channels. They are ubiquitously found in eukaryotes but no prokaryotic homolog has been characterized. We found that indanyloxyacetic acid-94 (IAA-94), a blocker of CLICs, delays the growth of Escherichia coli. In silico analysis showed that the E. coli stringent starvation protein A (SspA) shares sequence and structural homology with CLICs. Similar to CLICs, SspA lacks a signal sequence but contains an omega GST fold. Electrophysiological analysis revealed that SspA auto-inserts into lipid bilayers and forms IAA-94-sensitive ion channels. Substituting the ubiquitously conserved residue leucine 29 to alanine in the pore-forming region increased its single-channel conductance. SspA is essential for cell survival during acid-induced stress, and we found that acidic pH increases the open probability of SspA. Further, IAA-94 delayed the growth of wild-type but not sspA null mutant E. coli. Our results for the first time show that CLIC-like proteins exist in bacteria in the form of SspA, forming functional ion channels.

Abstract
Little is known about the potential for ion channels to regulate cellular behaviors during tissue regeneration. Here, we utilized an amphibian tail regeneration assay coupled with a chemical genetic screen to identify ion channel antagonists that altered critical cellular processes during regeneration. Inhibition of multiple ion channels either partially (anoctamin1/Tmem16a, anoctamin2/Tmem16b, KV2.1, KV2.2, L-type CaV channels and H/K ATPases) or completely (GlyR, GABAAR, KV1.5 and SERCA pumps) inhibited tail regeneration. Partial inhibition of tail regeneration by blocking the calcium activated chloride channels, anoctamin1&2, was associated with a reduction of cellular proliferation in tail muscle and mesenchymal regions. Inhibition of anoctamin 1/2 also altered the post-amputation transcriptional response of p44/42 MAPK signaling pathway genes, including decreased expression of erk1/erk2. We also found that complete inhibition via voltage gated K+ channel blockade was associated with diminished phagocyte recruitment to the amputation site. The identification of H+ pumps as required for axolotl tail regeneration supports findings in Xenopus and Planaria models, and more generally, the conservation of ion channels as regulators of tissue regeneration. This study provides a preliminary framework for an in-depth investigation of the mechanistic role of ion channels and their potential involvement in regulating cellular proliferation and other processes essential to wound healing, appendage regeneration, and tissue repair.

Endophilin-A2-mediated increase in scavenger receptor expression contributes to macrophage-derived foam cell formation. Atherosclerosis 2016; 254:133-141. [PMID: 27741419 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2016.10.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2016] [Revised: 09/08/2016] [Accepted: 10/05/2016] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Macrophage-derived foam cell formation (MFCF) is a crucial step in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) by scavenger receptors is indispensable for MFCF. Endophilin-A2 has been reported to regulate clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME). In this study, we tested the hypothesis that endophilin-A2 regulates oxLDL uptake and MFCF by mediating CME of oxLDL-scavenger receptor complexes. METHODS In vitro MFCF was induced by oxLDL treatment. Involvement of endophilin-A2 in oxLDL cytomembrane binding, cellular uptake, and MFCF was evaluated by manipulation of endophilin-A2. RESULTS Endophilin-A2 was involved in MFCF via scavenger receptor CD36 and scavenger receptor-A (SR-A)-mediated positive feedback pathways. We observed that oxLDL triggered interaction of endophilin-A2 with CD36 or SR-A, and induced an endophilin-A2-dependent activation of the apoptosis signal-regulating kinase-1 (ASK1)/Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/p38 signaling pathway. The activation of ASK1-JNK/p38 signal increased expression of both CD36 and SR-A, which promoted oxLDL cytomembrane binding, cellular uptake, and MFCF. In the absence of oxLDL, endophilin-A2 up-regulated the expression of receptors and Dil-oxLDL binding and uptake, but not the intracellular accumulation of lipids. In the presence of oxLDL, the CME inhibitors pitstop2 and ikarugamycin mimicked the inhibiting effect of endophilin-A2 knockdown and eliminated the elevating effect of endophilin-A2 overexpression on oxLDL uptake and MFCF. CONCLUSIONS Endophilin-A2 was identified as a novel molecule regulating MFCF by mechanisms attributable to CME and beyond CME.

Abstract
Cl− and HCO3− are the most prevalent membrane-permeable anions in the intra- and extracellular spaces of the vascular wall. Outwardly directed electrochemical gradients for Cl− and HCO3− permit anion channel opening to depolarize vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells. Transporters and channels for Cl− and HCO3− also modify vascular contractility and structure independently of membrane potential. Transport of HCO3− regulates intracellular pH and thereby modifies the activity of enzymes, ion channels, and receptors. There is also evidence that Cl− and HCO3− transport proteins affect gene expression and protein trafficking. Considering the extensive implications of Cl− and HCO3− in the vascular wall, it is critical to understand how these ions are transported under physiological conditions and how disturbances in their transport can contribute to disease development. Recently, sensing mechanisms for Cl− and HCO3− have been identified in the vascular wall where they modify ion transport and vasomotor function, for instance, during metabolic disturbances. This review discusses current evidence that transport (e.g., via NKCC1, NBCn1, Ca2+-activated Cl− channels, volume-regulated anion channels, and CFTR) and sensing (e.g., via WNK and RPTPγ) of Cl− and HCO3− influence cardiovascular health and disease.

Abstract
This study investigated the function of a chloride channel blocker, DIDS. Both in vitro and in vivo studies found that DIDS significantly inhibits lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced release of proin flammatory cytokines. Here, we show that DIDS inhibits LPS-induced inflammation, as shown by downregulation of inflammatory cytokines via inhibition of the TLR4/NF-κB pathway. Furthermore, we show that ClC-3siRNA transfection reduces LPS-induced pro-inflammation in Raw264.7 cells, indicating that ClC-3 is involved in the inhibitory effect of DIDS during LPS-induced cytokines release. In vivo, DIDS reduced LPS-induced mortality, decreased LPS-induced organic damage, and down-regulated LPS-induced expression of inflammatory cytokines. In sum, we demonstrate that ClC-3 is a pro-inflammatory factor and that inhibition of ClC-3 inhibits inflammatory induction both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that ClC-3 is a potential anti-inflammatory target.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Angiotensin II (AngII) induces migration and growth of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC), which is responsible for vascular remodelling in some cardiovascular diseases. Ang II also activates a Cl(-) current, but the underlying mechanism is not clear. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH The A10 cell line and primary cultures of VSMC from control, ClC-3 channel null mice and WT mice made hypertensive with AngII infusions were used. Techniques employed included whole-cell patch clamp, co-immunoprecipitation, site-specific mutagenesis and Western blotting, KEY RESULTS In VSMC, AngII induced Cl(-) currents was carried by the chloride ion channel ClC-3. This current was absent in VSMC from ClC-3 channel null mice. The AngII-induced Cl(-) current involved interactions between ClC-3 channels and Rho-kinase 2 (ROCK2), shown by N- or C-terminal truncation of ClC-3 protein, ROCK2 siRNA and co-immunoprecipitation assays. Phosphorylation of ClC-3 channels at Thr(532) by ROCK2 was critical for AngII-induced Cl(-) current and VSMC migration. The ClC-3 T532D mutant (mutation of Thr(532) to aspartate), mimicking phosphorylated ClC-3 protein, significantly potentiated AngII-induced Cl(-) current and VSMC migration, while ClC-3 T532A (mutation of Thr(532) to alanine) had the opposite effects. AngII-induced cell migration was markedly decreased in VSMC from ClC-3 channel null mice that was insensitive to Y27632, an inhibitor of ROCK2. In addition, AngII-induced cerebrovascular remodelling was decreased in ClC-3 null mice, possibly by the ROCK2 pathway. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS ClC-3 protein phosphorylation at Thr(532) by ROCK2 is required for AngII-induced Cl(-) current and VSMC migration that are involved in AngII-induced vascular remodelling in hypertension.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) acts as a cAMP-dependent chloride channel, has been studied in various types of cells. CFTR is abundantly expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells and closely linked to vascular tone regulation. However, the functional significance of CFTR in basilar vascular smooth muscle cells (BASMCs) remains elusive. Accumulating evidence has shown the direct role of CFTR in cell apoptosis that contributes to several main pathological events in CF, such as inflammation, lung injury and pancreatic insufficiency. We therefore investigated the role of CFTR in BASMC apoptotic process induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). We found that H2O2-induced cell apoptosis was parallel to a significant decrease in endogenous CFTR protein expression. Silencing CFTR with adenovirus-mediated CFTR specific siRNA further enhanced H2O2-induced BASMC injury, mitochondrial cytochrome c release into cytoplasm, cleaved caspase-3 and -9 protein expression and oxidized glutathione levels; while decreased cell viability, the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, mitochondrial membrane potential, total glutathione levels, activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase. The pharmacological activation of CFTR with forskolin produced the opposite effects. These results strongly suggest that CFTR may modulate oxidative stress-related BASMC apoptosis through the cAMP- and mitochondria-dependent pathway and regulating endogenous antioxidant defense system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebrovascular remodelling is one of the important risk factors of stroke. The underlying mechanisms are unclear. Integrin β3 and volume-regulated ClC-3 Cl(-) channels have recently been implicated as important contributors to vascular cell proliferation. Therefore, we investigated the role of integrin β3 in cerebrovascular remodelling and related Cl(-) signalling pathway. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Cl(-) currents were recorded using a patch clamp technique. The expression of integrin β3 in hypertensive animals was examined by Western blot and immunohistochemisty. Immunoprecipitation, cDNA and siRNA transfection were employed to investigate the integrin β3/Src/ClC-3 signalling. KEY RESULTS Integrin β3 expression was up-regulated in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats, 2-kidney 2-clip hypertensive rats and angiotensin II-infused hypertensive mice. Integrin β3 expression was positively correlated with medial cross-sectional area and ClC-3 expression in the basilar artery of 2-kidney 2-clip hypertensive rats. Knockdown of integrin β3 inhibited the proliferation of rat basilar vascular smooth muscle cells induced by angiotensin II. Co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence experiments revealed a physical interaction between integrin β3, Src and ClC-3 protein. The integrin β3/Src/ClC-3 signalling pathway was shown to be involved in the activation of volume-regulated chloride channels induced by both hypo-osmotic stress and angiotensin II. Tyrosine 284 within a concensus Src phosphorylation site was the key point for ClC-3 channel activation. ClC-3 knockout significantly attenuated angiotensin II-induced cerebrovascular remodelling. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Integrin β3 mediates cerebrovascular remodelling during hypertension via Src/ClC-3 signalling pathway.

Abstract
In smooth muscle cells (SMCs), the intracellular chloride ion (Cl−) concentration is high due to accumulation by Cl−/HCO3− exchange and Na+–K+–Cl− cotransportation. The equilibrium potential for Cl− (ECl) is more positive than physiological membrane potentials (Em), with Cl− efflux inducing membrane depolarization. Early studies used electrophysiology and nonspecific antagonists to study the physiological relevance of Cl− channels in SMCs. More recent reports have incorporated molecular biological approaches to identify and determine the functional significance of several different Cl− channels. Both "classic" and cGMP-dependent calcium (Ca2+)-activated (ClCa) channels and volume-sensitive Cl− channels are present, with TMEM16A/ANO1, bestrophins, and ClC-3, respectively, proposed as molecular candidates for these channels. The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) has also been described in SMCs. This review will focus on discussing recent progress made in identifying each of these Cl− channels in SMCs, their physiological functions, and contribution to diseases that modify contraction, apoptosis, and cell proliferation.

Abstract
Ion channels are involved in regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis (programed cell death). Since increased cellular proliferation and inhibition of apoptosis are characteristic features of tumorigenesis, targeting ion channels is a promising strategy for treating cancer. CLC-3 is a member of the voltage-gated chloride channel superfamily and is expressed in many cancer cells. In the plasma membrane, CLC-3 functions as a chloride channel and is associated with cell proliferation and apoptosis. CLC-3 is also located in intracellular compartments, contributing to their acidity, which increases sequestration of drugs and leads to chemotherapy drug resistance. In this review, we summarize the recent findings concerning the involvement of CLC-3 in cancer and explore its potential in cancer therapy.

Abstract
The molecular mechanisms of multiple myeloma are not well defined. EEN is an endocytosis-regulating molecule. Here we report that EEN regulates the proliferation and survival of multiple myeloma cells, by regulating IGF-1 secretion. In the present study, we observed that EEN expression paralleled with cell proliferation, EEN accelerated cell proliferation, facilitated cell cycle transition from G1 to S phase by regulating cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) pathway, and delayed cell apoptosis via Bcl2/Bax-mitochondrial pathway. Mechanistically, we found that EEN was indispensable for insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) secretion and the activation of protein kinase B-mammalian target of rapamycin (Akt-mTOR) pathway. Exogenous IGF-1 overcame the phenotype of EEN depletion, while IGF-1 neutralization overcame that of EEN over-expression. Collectively, these data suggest that EEN may play a pivotal role in excessive cell proliferation and insufficient cell apoptosis of bone marrow plasma cells in multiple myeloma. Therefore, EEN may represent a potential diagnostic marker or therapeutic target for multiple myeloma.

Abstract
Vascular remodeling of cerebral arterioles, including proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), is the major cause of changes in the cross-sectional area and diameter of the arteries and sudden interruption of blood flow or hemorrhage in the brain, ie, stroke. Accumulating evidence strongly supports an important role for chloride (Cl(-)) channels in vascular remodeling and stroke. At least three Cl(-) channel genes are expressed in VSMCs: 1) the TMEM16A (or Ano1), which may encode the calcium-activated Cl(-) channels (CACCs); 2) the CLC-3 Cl(-) channel and Cl(-)/H(+) antiporter, which is closely related to the volume-regulated Cl(-) channels (VRCCs); and 3) the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), which encodes the PKA- and PKC-activated Cl(-) channels. Activation of the CACCs by agonist-induced increase in intracellular Ca(2+) causes membrane depolarization, vasoconstriction, and inhibition of VSMC proliferation. Activation of VRCCs by cell volume increase or membrane stretch promotes the production of reactive oxygen species, induces proliferation and inhibits apoptosis of VSMCs. Activation of CFTR inhibits oxidative stress and may prevent the development of hypertension. In addition, Cl(-) current mediated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor has also been implicated a role in ischemic neuron death. This review focuses on the functional roles of Cl(-) channels in the development of stroke and provides a perspective on the future directions for research and the potential to develop Cl(-) channels as new targets for the prevention and treatment of stroke.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to compare the differences between the role of volume-regulated Cl⁻ channels (VRCCs) in veins and arteries. We used the whole cell patch clamp and fluorescence imaging techniques to evaluate swelling-induced Cl⁻ current (I(Cl,vol)) and changes in the intracellular concentrations of Cl⁻ ([Cl⁻](i)) induced by hypotonic solutions in rat femoral artery cells (FASMCs) and vein smooth muscle cells (FVSMCs). I(Cl,vol) and [Cl⁻](i) decline induced by hypotonic solution were more prominent in FASMCs than in FVSMCs. I(Cl,vol) and the alterations in [Cl⁻](i) were gradually increased as the number of cell passages increased. However, the regulatory function of tyrosine protein phosphorylation in volume-regulated chloride movement is prominent in veins. The expression of ClC-3 was higher in FASMCs than in FVSMCs. VRCC activity is more pronounced in rat femoral arteries than in veins. VRCC activity and tyrosine protein phosphorylation regulative function increase gradually as vascular cells switch from contractile to proliferative phenotypes.

Abstract
The successful generation of a high yield of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) may represent an unlimited cell source with superior therapeutic benefits for tissue regeneration to bone marrow (BM)-derived MSCs. We investigated whether the differential expression of ion channels in iPSC-MSCs was responsible for their higher proliferation capacity than BM-MSCs. The expression of ion channels for K+, Na+, Ca2+, and Cl− was examined by RT-PCR. The electrophysiological properties of iPSC-MSCs and BM-MSCs were then compared by patch-clamp experiments to verify their functional roles. Significant mRNA expression of ion channel genes including KCa1.1, KCa3.1, KCNH1, Kir2.1, SCN9A, CACNA1C, and Clcn3 was observed in both human iPSC-MSCs and BM-MSCs, whereas Kir2.2 and Kir2.3 were only detected in human iPSC-MSCs. Five types of currents [big-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ current (BKCa), delayed rectifier K+ current ( IKDR), inwardly rectifying K+ current ( IKir), Ca2+-activated K+ current ( IKCa), and chloride current ( ICl)] were found in iPSC-MSCs (83%, 47%, 11%, 5%, and 4%, respectively) but only four of them (BKCa, IKDR, IKir, and IKCa) were identified in BM-MSCs (76%, 25%, 22%, and 11%, respectively). Cell proliferation was examined with MTT or bromodeoxyuridine assay, and doubling times were 2.66 and 3.72 days for iPSC-MSCs and BM-MSCs, respectively, showing a 1.4-fold discrepancy. Blockade of IKDR with short hairpin RNA or human ether-à-go-go 1 (hEAG1) channel blockers, 4-AP and astemizole, significantly reduced the rate of proliferation of human iPSC-MSCs. These treatments also decreased the rate of proliferation of human BM-MSCs albeit to a lesser extent. These findings demonstrate that the hEAG1 channel plays a crucial role in controlling the proliferation rate of human iPSC-MSCs and to a lesser extent in BM-MSCs.

Abstract
AIM Bone marrow endothelial progenitor cells (BMEPCs) are believed to be a promising cell source for regenerative medicine; however, their electrophysiology properties have not been fully clarified, which is important to the clinical application of BMEPCs. The current study was designed to determine the transmembrane ion currents and mRNA expression levels of related ion channel subunits in rat BMEPCs. METHODS Bone marrow mononuclear cells were isolated by density gradient separation and cultured in EPC medium. The transmembrane ion currents were determined using whole-cell patch-voltage clamp technique, and the levels of mRNA and protein expressions of functional ionic channels were measured using RT-PCR and western immunoblot analysis. RESULTS We observed two types of ionic currents in undifferentiated rat BMEPCs. One was Ca(2+) -activated potassium current (I(kca) ), which was seen in approx. 90% of cells when 1 μm Ca(2+) was employed in pipette solution, and it was predominantly inhibited by intermediate-conductance I(kca) inhibitor clotrimazole. The other one was volume-sensitive chloride current (I(cl) ), which was detected in 85.7% of cells when BMEPCs were subjected to K(+) -free hypotonic extracellular solution, whose currents could be inhibited by 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid (NPPB). The corresponding ion channel genes and proteins, KCNN4 for I(kca) and Clcn3 for I(cl) , were confirmed by RT-PCR and western immunoblot analysis of BMEPCs. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated for the first time that rat BMEPCs expressed intermediate-conductance Ca(2+) -activated potassium currents and volume-sensitive chloride currents, and corresponding genes and proteins of these two channels are KCNN4 and Clcn3 respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Ca(2+)-activated chloride channel (CaCC) plays an important role in a variety of physiological functions. In vascular smooth muscle cells, CaCC is involved in the regulation of agonist-stimulated contraction and myogenic tone. The physiological functions of CaCC in blood vessels are not fully revealed because of the lack of specific channel blockers and the uncertainty concerning its molecular identity. METHODS AND RESULTS Whole-cell patch-clamp studies showed that knockdown of TMEM16A but not bestrophin-3 attenuated CaCC currents in rat basilar smooth muscle cells. The activity of CaCC in basilar smooth muscle cells isolated from 2-kidney, 2-clip renohypertensive rats was decreased, and CaCC activity was negatively correlated with blood pressure (n=25; P<0.0001) and medial cross-sectional area (n=24; P<0.0001) in basilar artery during hypertension. Both upregulation of CaMKII activity and downregulation of TMEM16A expression contributed to the reduction of CaCC in the hypertensive basilar artery. Western blot results demonstrated that angiotensin II repressed TMEM16A expression in basilar smooth muscle cells (n=6; P<0.01). Knockdown of TMEM16A facilitated and overexpression of TMEM16A inhibited angiotensin II-induced cell cycle transition and cell proliferation determined by flow cytometry and BrdU incorporation (n=6 in each group; P<0.05). TMEM16A affected cell cycle progression mainly through regulating the expression of cyclin D1 and cyclin E. CONCLUSIONS TMEM16A CaCC is a negative regulator of cell proliferation. Downregulation of CaCC may play an important role in hypertension-induced cerebrovascular remodeling, suggesting that modification of the activity of CaCC may be a novel therapeutic strategy for hypertension-associated cardiovascular diseases such as stroke.

Abstract
ClC-3 is a member of the ClC voltage-gated chloride (Cl(-)) channel superfamily. Recent studies have demonstrated the abundant expression and pleiotropy of ClC-3 in cardiac atrial and ventricular myocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, and endothelial cells. ClC-3 Cl(-) channels can be activated by increase in cell volume, direct stretch of β1-integrin through focal adhesion kinase and many active molecules or growth factors including angiotensin II and endothelin-1-mediated signaling pathways, Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and reactive oxygen species. ClC-3 may function as a key component of the volume-regulated Cl(-) channels, a superoxide anion transport and/or NADPH oxidase interaction partner, and a regulator of many other transporters. ClC-3 has been implicated in the regulation of electrical activity, cell volume, proliferation, differentiation, migration, apoptosis and intracellular pH. This review will highlight the major findings and recent advances in the study of ClC-3 Cl(-) channels in the cardiovascular system and discuss their important roles in cardiac and vascular remodeling during hypertension, myocardial hypertrophy, ischemia/reperfusion, and heart failure.

Abstract
Chloride channels are expressed ubiquitously in different cells. However, the activation and roles of volume-activated chloride channels under normal isotonic conditions are not clarified, especially in lymphatic cells. In this study, the activation of basal and volume-activated chloride currents and their roles in maintenance of basal cell volume under isotonic conditions were investigated in human acute lymphoblastic leukemia Molt4 cells. The patch-clamp technique and time-lapse image analysis were employed to record whole-cell currents and cell volume changes. Under isotonic conditions, a basal chloride current was recorded. The current was weakly outward-rectified and volume-sensitive and was not inactivated obviously in the observation period. A 47% hypertonic bath solution and the chloride channel blockers NPPB and tamoxifen suppressed the current. Exposure of cells to 47% hypotonic bath solution activated further the basal current. The hypotonicity-activated current possessed properties similar to those of the basal current and was inhibited by NPPB, tamoxifen, ATP and hypertonic bath solution. Furthermore, extracellular hypotonic challenges swelled the cells and induced a regulatory volume decrease (RVD). Extracellular applications of NPPB, tamoxifen and ATP swelled the cells under isotonic conditions and inhibited the RVD induced by hypotonic cell swelling. The results suggest that some volume-activated chloride channels are activated under isotonic conditions, resulting in the appearance of the basal chloride current, which plays an important role in the maintenance of basal cell volume in lymphoblastic leukemia cells. Chloride channels can be activated further to induce a regulatory volume recovery when cells are swollen.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
We have previously found that volume-regulated chloride current (VRCC) is involved in cell cycle progression and cell proliferation. This study was to examine the effect of Tween 80, a nonionic surfactant, on VRCC and cell proliferation in rat basilar artery smooth muscle cells (BASMCs).
Methods
VRCC was recorded using a whole-cell patch clamp. Cell proliferation and cell cycle were determined by CCK-8, cell count and flow cytometry.
Key findings
The results showed that endothelin-1 promotes cell cycle transition from the G0/G1 phase to the S phase and significantly increases VRCC in BASMCs. The effect of Tween 80 on VRCC is reversible and concentration dependent. However, this chemical has no effect on the calcium-activated chloride channel. Tween 80 also concentration-dependently inhibits BASMCs proliferation and arrests cells in the G1/S checkpoint. The antiproliferative effect is paralleled with the inhibitory effect on VRCC.
Conclutision
Our study demonstrates that the inhibitory effect of Tween 80 on VRCC contributes importantly to arrest of the cell cycle and prevention of cell proliferation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We have shown that the chloride-proton antiporter chloride channel-3 (ClC-3) is required for endosome-dependent signaling by the Nox1 NADPH oxidase in SMCs. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that ClC-3 is necessary for proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and contributes to neointimal hyperplasia following vascular injury. METHODS AND RESULTS Studies were performed in SMCs isolated from the aorta of ClC-3-null and littermate control (wild-type [WT]) mice. Thrombin and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) each caused activation of both mitogen activated protein kinase extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 and the matrix-degrading enzyme matrix metalloproteinase-9 and cell proliferation of WT SMCs. Whereas responses to thrombin were preserved in ClC-3-null SMCs, the responses to TNF-α were markedly impaired. These defects normalized following gene transfer of ClC-3. Carotid injury increased vascular ClC-3 expression, and compared with WT mice, ClC-3-null mice exhibited a reduction in neointimal area of the carotid artery 28 days after injury. CONCLUSIONS ClC-3 is necessary for the activation of SMCs by TNF-α but not thrombin. Deficiency of ClC-3 markedly reduces neointimal hyperplasia following vascular injury. In view of our previous findings, this observation is consistent with a role for ClC-3 in endosomal Nox1-dependent signaling. These findings identify ClC-3 as a novel target for the prevention of inflammatory and proliferative vascular diseases.
