Benítez-Angeles M, Juárez-González E, Vergara-Jaque A, Llorente I, Rangel-Yescas G, Thébault SC, Hiriart M, Islas LD, Rosenbaum T. Unconventional interactions of the TRPV4 ion channel with beta-adrenergic receptor ligands. Life Sci Alliance 2023; 6:6/3/e202201704. [PMID: 36549871 PMCID: PMC9780703 DOI: 10.26508/lsa.202201704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) ion channel is present in different tissues including those of the airways. This channel is activated in response to stimuli such as changes in temperature, hypoosmotic conditions, mechanical stress, and chemicals from plants, lipids, and others. TRPV4's overactivity and/or dysfunction has been associated with several diseases, such as skeletal dysplasias, neuromuscular disorders, and lung pathologies such as asthma and cardiogenic lung edema and COVID-19-related respiratory malfunction. TRPV4 antagonists and blockers have been described; nonetheless, the mechanisms involved in achieving inhibition of the channel remain scarce, and the search for safe use of these molecules in humans continues. Here, we show that the widely used bronchodilator salbutamol and other ligands of β-adrenergic receptors inhibit TRPV4's activation. We also demonstrate that inhibition of TRPV4 by salbutamol is achieved through interaction with two residues located in the outer region of the pore and that salbutamol leads to channel closing, consistent with an allosteric mechanism. Our study provides molecular insights into the mechanisms that regulate the activity of this physiopathologically important ion channel.

Laryngoscope 2021; 131:E2573-E2582. [PMID: 33956344 PMCID: PMC8453712 DOI: 10.1002/lary.29610] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2020] [Revised: 04/09/2021] [Accepted: 04/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Objectives/Hypothesis Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a key component of bacterial endotoxins, activates macrophages and triggers the release of inflammatory cytokines in mammalian tissues. Recent studies have shown that intratympanic injection of LPS simulates acute otitis media (AOM) and results in morphological and functional changes in the inner ear. Here we established an AOM mouse model with LPS to investigate the uptake of ototoxic gentamicin in the inner ear, and elucidated the underlying mechanism by focusing on cochlear inflammation as a result of AOM. Study Design Preclinical rodent animal model. Methods Fluorescently tagged gentamicin (GTTR) was systemically administered to mice with AOM. Iba1‐positive macrophage morphology and inner ear cytokine profile were evaluated by immunofluorescence technique and a mouse cytokine array kit, respectively. Results We observed characteristic symptoms of AOM in the LPS‐treated ears with elevated hearing thresholds indicating a conductive hearing loss. More importantly, the LPS‐induced AOM activated cochlear inflammatory responses, manifested by macrophage infiltration, particularly in the organ of Corti and the spiral ligament, in addition to the up‐regulation of proinflammatory cytokines. Meanwhile, GTTR uptake in the stria vascularis and sensory hair cells from all the LPS‐treated ears was significantly enhanced at 24, 48, and 72‐hour post‐treatment, as the most prominent enhancement was observed in the 48‐hour group. Conclusion In summary, this study suggests that the pathological cochlea is more susceptible to ototoxic drugs, including aminoglycosides, and justified the clinical concern of aminoglycoside ototoxicity in the AOM treatment.

Activation of TRPV4 by mechanical, osmotic or pharmaceutical stimulation is anti-inflammatory blocking IL-1β mediated articular cartilage matrix destruction. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2021; 29:89-99. [PMID: 33395574 PMCID: PMC7799379 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2020.08.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2020] [Revised: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 08/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cartilage health is maintained in response to a range of mechanical stimuli including compressive, shear and tensile strains and associated alterations in osmolality. The osmotic-sensitive ion channel Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is required for mechanotransduction. Mechanical stimuli inhibit interleukin-1β (IL-1β) mediated inflammatory signalling, however the mechanism is unclear. This study aims to clarify the role of TRPV4 in this response. DESIGN TRPV4 activity was modulated glycogen synthase kinase (GSK205 antagonist or GSK1016790 A (GSK101) agonist) in articular chondrocytes and cartilage explants in the presence or absence of IL-1β, mechanical (10% cyclic tensile strain (CTS), 0.33 Hz, 24hrs) or osmotic loading (200mOsm, 24hrs). Nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and sulphated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) release and cartilage biomechanics were analysed. Alterations in post-translational tubulin modifications and primary cilia length regulation were examined. RESULTS In isolated chondrocytes, mechanical loading inhibited IL-1β mediated NO and PGE2 release. This response was inhibited by GSK205. Similarly, osmotic loading was anti-inflammatory in cells and explants, this response was abrogated by TRPV4 inhibition. In explants, GSK101 inhibited IL-1β mediated NO release and prevented cartilage degradation and loss of mechanical properties. Upon activation, TRPV4 cilia localisation was increased resulting in histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6)-dependent modulation of soluble tubulin and altered cilia length regulation. CONCLUSION Mechanical, osmotic or pharmaceutical activation of TRPV4 regulates HDAC6-dependent modulation of ciliary tubulin and is anti-inflammatory. This study reveals for the first time, the potential of TRPV4 manipulation as a novel therapeutic mechanism to supress pro-inflammatory signalling and cartilage degradation.

Abstract
Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels are a family of ion channels whose members are distributed among all kinds of animals, from invertebrates to vertebrates. The importance of these molecules is exemplified by the variety of physiological roles they play. Perhaps, the most extensively studied member of this family is the TRPV1 ion channel; nonetheless, the activity of TRPV4 has been associated to several physio and pathophysiological processes, and its dysfunction can lead to severe consequences. Several lines of evidence derived from animal models and even clinical trials in humans highlight TRPV4 as a therapeutic target and as a protein that will receive even more attention in the near future, as will be reviewed here.

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

Abstract
Transient receptor potential ion channels (TRP) are a superfamily of non-selective ion channels which are opened in response to a diverse range of stimuli. The TRP vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) ion channel is opened in response to heat, mechanical stimuli, hypo-osmolarity and arachidonic acid metabolites. However, recently TRPV4 has been identified as an ion channel that is modulated by, and opened by intracellular signalling cascades from other receptors and signalling pathways. Although TRPV4 knockout mice show relatively mild phenotypes, some mutations in TRPV4 cause severe developmental abnormalities, such as the skeletal dyplasia and arthropathy. Regulated TRPV4 function is also essential for healthy cardiovascular system function as a potent agonist compromises endothelial cell function, leading to vascular collapse. A better understanding of the signalling mechanisms that modulate TRPV4 function is necessary to understand its physiological roles. Post translational modification of TRPV4 by kinases and other signalling molecules can modulate TRPV4 opening in response to stimuli such as mechanical and hyposmolarity and there is an emerging area of research implicating TRPV4 as a transducer of these signals as opposed to a direct sensor of the stimuli. Due to its wide expression profile, TRPV4 is implicated in multiple pathophysiological states. TRPV4 contributes to the sensation of pain due to hypo-osmotic stimuli and inflammatory mechanical hyperalsgesia, where TRPV4 sensitizaton by intracellular signalling leads to pain behaviors in mice. In the vasculature, TRPV4 is a regulator of vessel tone and is implicated in hypertension and diabetes due to endothelial dysfunction. TRPV4 is a key regulator of epithelial and endothelial barrier function and signalling to and opening of TRPV4 can disrupt these critical protective barriers. In respiratory function, TRPV4 is involved in cystic fibrosis, cilary beat frequency, bronchoconstriction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary hypertension, acute lung injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome and cough.In this review we highlight how modulation of TRPV4 opening is a vital signalling component in a range of tissues and why understanding of TRPV4 regulation in the body may lead to novel therapeutic approaches to treating a range of disease states.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most serious public health issues facing humans since the discovery of antimicrobial agents. The frequent, prolonged, and uncontrolled use of antimicrobial agents are major factors in the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacterial strains, including multidrug-resistant variants. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of nosocomial infections. The abundant data on the increased resistance to antipseudomonal agents support the need for global action. There is a paucity of new classes of antibiotics active against P. aeruginosa. Here, we discuss recent antibacterial resistance profiles and mechanisms of resistance by P. aeruginosa. We also review future potential methods for controlling antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as phage therapy, nanotechnology and antipseudomonal vaccines.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Recent studies implicate TRPV4 receptors in visceral pain signaling and intestinal inflammation. Our aim was to evaluate the role of TRPV4 in the control of gastrointestinal (GI) motility and to establish the underlying mechanisms. We used immunohistochemistry and PCR to study TRPV4 expression in the GI tract. The effect of TRPV4 activation on GI motility was characterized using in vitro and in vivo motility assays. Calcium and nitric oxide (NO) imaging were performed to study the intracellular signaling pathways. Finally, TRPV4 expression was examined in the colon of healthy human subjects. We demonstrated that TRPV4 can be found on myenteric neurons of the colon and is co-localized with NO synthase (NOS-1). In vitro, the TRPV4 agonist GSK1016790A reduced colonic contractility and increased inhibitory neurotransmission. In vivo, TRPV4 activation slowed GI motility and reduced stool production in mouse models mimicking pathophysiological conditions. We also showed that TRPV4 activation inhibited GI motility by reducing NO-dependent Ca(2+) release from enteric neurons. In conclusion, TRPV4 is involved in the regulation of GI motility in health and disease. KEY MESSAGES • Recent studies implicate TRPV4 in pain signaling and intestinal inflammation. • Our aim was to characterize the role of TRPV4 in the control of GI motility. • We found that TRPV4 activation reduced colonic contractility. • Our studies also showed altered TRPV4 mRNA expression in IBS-C patients. • TRPV4 may be a novel pharmacological target in functional GI diseases.

Sodium-glucose transporter-2 (SGLT2; SLC5A2) enhances cellular uptake of aminoglycosides. PLoS One 2014; 9:e108941. [PMID: 25268124 PMCID: PMC4182564 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0108941] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2014] [Accepted: 08/26/2014] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Aminoglycoside antibiotics, like gentamicin, continue to be clinically essential worldwide to treat life-threatening bacterial infections. Yet, the ototoxic and nephrotoxic side-effects of these drugs remain serious complications. A major site of gentamicin uptake and toxicity resides within kidney proximal tubules that also heavily express electrogenic sodium-glucose transporter-2 (SGLT2; SLC5A2) in vivo. We hypothesized that SGLT2 traffics gentamicin, and promotes cellular toxicity. We confirmed in vitro expression of SGLT2 in proximal tubule-derived KPT2 cells, and absence in distal tubule-derived KDT3 cells. D-glucose competitively decreased the uptake of 2-(N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino)-2-deoxyglucose (2-NBDG), a fluorescent analog of glucose, and fluorescently-tagged gentamicin (GTTR) by KPT2 cells. Phlorizin, an SGLT2 antagonist, strongly inhibited uptake of 2-NBDG and GTTR by KPT2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. GTTR uptake was elevated in KDT3 cells transfected with SGLT2 (compared to controls); and this enhanced uptake was attenuated by phlorizin. Knock-down of SGLT2 expression by siRNA reduced gentamicin-induced cytotoxicity. In vivo, SGLT2 was robustly expressed in kidney proximal tubule cells of heterozygous, but not null, mice. Phlorizin decreased GTTR uptake by kidney proximal tubule cells in Sglt2+/− mice, but not in Sglt2−/− mice. However, serum GTTR levels were elevated in Sglt2−/− mice compared to Sglt2+/− mice, and in phlorizin-treated Sglt2+/− mice compared to vehicle-treated Sglt2+/− mice. Loss of SGLT2 function by antagonism or by gene deletion did not affect gentamicin cochlear loading or auditory function. Phlorizin did not protect wild-type mice from kanamycin-induced ototoxicity. We conclude that SGLT2 can traffic gentamicin and contribute to gentamicin-induced cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential channels, of the vanilloid subtype (TRPV), act as sensory mediators, being activated by endogenous ligands, heat, mechanical and osmotic stress. Within the vasculature, TRPV channels are expressed in smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, as well as in peri-vascular nerves. Their varied distribution and polymodal activation properties make them ideally suited to a role in modulating vascular function, perceiving and responding to local environmental changes. In endothelial cells, TRPV1 is activated by endocannabinoids, TRPV3 by dietary agonists and TRPV4 by shear stress, epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and downstream of Gq-coupled receptor activation. Upon activation, these channels contribute to vasodilation via nitric oxide, prostacyclin and intermediate/small conductance potassium channel-dependent pathways. In smooth muscle, TRPV4 is activated by endothelial-derived EETs, leading to large conductance potassium channel activation and smooth muscle hyperpolarization. Conversely, smooth muscle TRPV2 channels contribute to global calcium entry and may aid constriction. TRPV1 and TRPV4 are expressed in sensory nerves and can cause vasodilation through calcitonin gene-related peptide and substance P release as well as mediating vascular function via the baroreceptor reflex (TRPV1) or via increasing sympathetic outflow during osmotic stress (TRPV4). Thus, TRPV channels play important roles in the regulation of normal and pathological cellular function in the vasculature.

Abstract
TRP (transient receptor potential) channels play important roles in the regulation of normal and pathological cellular function. In the vasculature, TRP channels are present both in ECs (endothelial cells) and vascular SMCs (smooth muscle cells) and contribute to vasomotor control mechanisms in most vascular beds. Vascular TRP channels are activated by various stimuli, such as mechanical perturbation, receptor activation and dietary molecules. Some of the specific roles of these channels in normal and impaired vascular function have emerged in recent years and include participation in vascular signalling processes, such as neurotransmission, hormonal signalling, NO production, myogenic tone and autoregulation of blood flow, thermoregulation, responses to oxidative stress and cellular proliferative activity. Current research is aimed at understanding the interactions of TRP channels with other vascular proteins and signalling mechanisms. These studies should reveal new targets for pharmacological therapy of vascular diseases, such as hypertension, ischaemia and vasospasm, and vascular proliferative states.

Abstract
The Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 channel, TRPV4, is a Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) permeable non-selective cation channel involved in many different cellular functions. It is activated by a variety of physical and chemical stimuli, including heat, mechano-stimuli, endogenous substances such as arachidonic acid and its cytochrome P450-derived metabolites (epoxyeicosatrienoic acids), endocannabinoids (anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol), as well as synthetic alpha-phorbol derivatives. Recently, TRPV4 has been characterized as an important player modulating osteoclast differentiation in bone remodelling and as a urothelial mechanosensor that controls normal voiding. Several TRPV4 gain-of-function mutations are shown to cause autosomal-dominant bone dysplasias such as brachyolmia and Koszlowski disease. In this review we comprehensively describe the structural, biophysical and (patho)physiological properties of the TRPV4 channel and we summarize the current knowledge about the role of TRPV4 in the pathogenesis of several diseases.

Abstract
The activation of a vanilloid type 4 transient receptor potential channel (TRPV4) has an obligatory role in regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) (Ca(2+)(i)) in several types of cells including vascular and sensory organs. In this study, we provide evidence that TRPV4 is a functional regulator of Ca(2+)(i) in human synoviocytes. Although significant expression of TRPV4 in synoviocytes from patients with (RA) and without (CTR) rheumatoid arthritis was detected at mRNA and protein level, those in the human fibroblast-like synoviocyte line MH7A were rather lower. Consistently, the selective TRPV4 agonist 4alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (4alphaPDD) effectively elevated Ca(2+)(i) in the RA and CTR cells, which was abolished by the removal of external Ca(2+). Moreover, the elevation was inhibited by ruthenium red, a blocker of TRPVs. In MH7A cells transfected with human TRPV4 (MH7A-V4), 4alphaPDD elevated the Ca(2+)(i) in a similar manner to those in the RA and CTR cells. Electrophysiological analysis also revealed that 4alphaPDD activated nonselective cationic currents in RA cells. Application of 227 mosM solution to the RA and MH7A-V4 cells elevated their Ca(2+)(i), but this does not occur when it was applied to MH7A cells. Treatment of RA but not MH7A cells with 4alphaPDD for 24 h reduced their production of IL-8. These results suggest that an environmental sensor, TRPV4, is a novel regulator of intracellular Ca(2+) in human synoviocytes.

Abstract
Agonist-induced Ca2+ entry is important for the synthesis and release of vasoactive factors in endothelial cells. The transient receptor potential vanilloid type 4 (TRPV4) channel, a Ca2+-permeant cation channel, is expressed in endothelial cells and involved in the regulation of vascular tone. Here we investigated the role of TRPV4 channels in acetylcholine-induced vasodilation in vitro and in vivo using the TRPV4 knockout mouse model. The expression of TRPV4 mRNA and protein was detected in both conduit and resistance arteries from wild-type mice. In small mesenteric arteries from wild-type mice, the TRPV4 activator 4alpha-phorbol-12,13-didecanoate increased endothelial [Ca2+]i in situ, which was reversed by the TRPV4 blocker ruthenium red. In wild-type animals, acetylcholine dilated small mesenteric arteries that involved both NO and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors. In TRPV4-deficient mice, the NO component of the relaxation was attenuated and the endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor component was largely eliminated. Compared with their wild-type littermates, TRPV4-deficient mice demonstrated a blunted endothelial Ca2+ response to acetylcholine in mesenteric arteries and reduced NO release in carotid arteries. Acetylcholine (5 mg/kg, IV) decreased blood pressure by 37.0+/-6.2 mm Hg in wild-type animals but only 16.6+/-2.7 mm Hg in knockout mice. We conclude that acetylcholine-induced endothelium-dependent vasodilation is reduced both in vitro and in vivo in TRPV4 knockout mice. These findings may provide novel insight into mechanisms of Ca2+ entry evoked by chemical agonists in endothelial cells.
