Plumbagin, a novel TRPV2 inhibitor, ameliorates microglia activation and brain injury in a middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion mouse model. Br J Pharmacol 2024. [PMID: 39363399 DOI: 10.1111/bph.17343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 08/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/19/2024] [Indexed: 10/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) is a Ca2+-permeable non-selective cation channel. Despite the significant roles of TRPV2 in immunological response, cancer progression and cardiac development, pharmacological probes of TRPV2 remain to be identified. We aimed to discover TRPV2 inhibitors and to elucidate their molecular mechanism of action. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Fluorescence-based Ca2+ assay in HEK-293 cells expressing murine TRPV2 was used to identify plumbagin as a novel TRPV2 inhibitor. Patch-clamp, in silico docking and site-directed mutagenesis were applied to investigate the molecular mechanisms critical for plumbagin interaction. ELISA and qPCR were used to assess nitric oxide release and mRNA levels of inflammatory mediators, respectively. si-RNA interference was used to knock down TRPV2 expression, which was validated by western blotting. Neurological and histological analyses were used to examine brain injury of mice following middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R). KEY RESULTS Plumbagin is a potent TRPV2 negative allosteric modulator with an IC50 value of 0.85 μM, exhibiting >14-fold selectivity over TRPV1, TRPV3 and TRPV4. Plumbagin suppresses TRPV2 activity by decreasing the channel open probability without affecting the unitary conductance. Moreover, plumbagin binds to an extracellular pocket formed by the pore helix and flexible loop between transmembrane helices S5 and S6 of TRPV2. Plumbagin effectively suppresses LPS-induced inflammation of BV-2 microglia and ameliorates brain injury of MCAO/R mice. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Plumbagin is a novel pharmacological probe to study TRPV2 pathophysiology. TRPV2 is a novel molecular target for the treatment of neuroinflammation and ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Targeting the transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 channels (TRPV2) in order to alleviate or reverse the course of several diseases including multiple cancers, cardiovascular, immunological, or neurological disorders have been a matter of focus for several years now. SET2, a selective TRPV2 inhibitor, represents an innovative molecule which came into recognition in 2019 and seems to be a promising therapeutic modality in cancer and cardiac diseases. Drug discovery and bioanalysis in clinical environment demands simple, excellent, highly reliable, fast, sensitive, and selective analytical approaches which enable unambiguous identification and quantification of demanded molecule. Here, a targeted ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization was developed for the quantification of SET2 in plasma samples. The developed method enabled analysis of approx. 15 samples within one hour. Simplicity of the whole analytical procedure can be emphasized by a very simple sample pretreatment based only on the protein precipitation with organic acid (here, 2 M tricholoroacetic acid). The validation procedure was characterized by promising validation parameters and excellent sensitivity what was documented by the limit of detection value at pg.mL-1 concentration level. Analytical validation reported intra- and interday accuracy < 15 % for all quality control samples concentration levels. Similarly, excellent level of intra- (0.1 - 4.8 %) and interday (0.5 - 3.3 %) precision for the tested quality control samples was obtained. The applicability of the developed method was proven by quantifying SET2 concentration levels in plasma samples obtained from Wistar rats that were administered this drug intraperitoneally at a dose of 25 mg/kg. We expect that our new analytical method represents a very attractive tool that could be easily implemented in pharmacokinetics studies and/or therapeutic drug monitoring. Moreover, its applicability was confirmed by the new practicability evaluation metric tool.

Abstract
When host cells are exposed to foreign particles, dead cells, or cell hazards, a sophisticated process called phagocytosis begins. During this process, macrophages, dendritic cells, and neutrophils engulf the target by expanding their membranes. Phagocytosis of apoptotic cells is called efferocytosis. This process is of significant importance as billions of cells are eliminated daily without provoking inflammation. Both phagocytosis and efferocytosis depend on Ca2+ signaling. A big family of Ca2+ permeable channels is transient receptor potentials (TRPs) divided into nine subfamilies. We aimed to review their roles in phagocytosis. The present review article shows that various TRP channels such as TRPV1, 2, 3, 4, TRPM2, 4, 7, 8, TRPML1, TRPA1, TRPC1, 3, 5, 6 have roles at various stages of phagocytosis. They are involved in the phagocytosis of amyloid β, α-synuclein, myelin debris, bacteria, and apoptotic cells. In particular, TRPC3 and TRPM7 contribute to efferocytosis. These effects are mediated by changing Ca2+ signaling or targeting intracellular enzymes such as Akt. In addition, they contribute to the chemotaxis of phagocytic cells towards targets. Although a limited number of studies have assessed the role of TRP channels in phagocytosis and efferocytosis, their findings indicate that they have critical roles in these processes. In some cases, their ablation completely abolished the phagocytic function of the cells. As a result, TRP channels are potential targets for developing new therapeutics that modulate phagocytosis.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in women around the world. Accumulating evidence suggests that transient receptor potential (TRP) channels play a significant role in tumor progression and immune cell infiltration. Hence, we conducted the study to investigate the correlation between TRP-associated lncRNAs and the prognosis of breast carcinoma. In the current study, 33 TRP-associated genes were selected from a review published by Amrita Samanta et al, and the TRP-related lncRNAs were identified by Pearson analysis. Based on the sum of the expression levels of 12 lncRNAs provided by the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), a TRP-associated lncRNA signature was established by using Cox regression analysis. According to the median value of the risk score in the training set, BC patients were separated into high- and low-risk groups. Subsequently, functional enrichment analysis was conducted on the differential expression genes (DEGs) between different risk groups. The Estimation of Stromal and Immune Cells in Malignant Tumor Tissues Using Expression (ESTIMATE) Score was calculated by ESTIMATE, and the immune cell infiltration was evaluated by ssGSEA. Finally, the immune checkpoint gene expression levels, microsatellite instability (MSI), and immunophenoscore (IPS) were further assessed. The high-risk groups exhibited lower survival rates, while the low-risk groups showed higher survival rates. As a result, the DEGs between different risk groups were highly enriched in immune cell activation and immunoregulation. Besides, the ESTIMATE scores of patients in low-risk groups were higher than those in high-risk groups. The infiltration levels of several immune cells were remarkably elevated in low-risk groups, and various immune signatures were activated with a decreased risk score. Eventually, the TRP-associated lncRNA signature was confirmed with a highly potential ability to evaluate the immunotherapy response in breast carcinoma patients. The outcomes of the current study indicated that the 12-TRP-associated-lncRNA risk model was an independent prognostic risk factor for BC patients. This risk model could be closely related to the tumor immune microenvironment in BC. Our findings will provide new insights for future immunotherapy for BC treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal injury induces major changes in plasma and cardiac metabolites. Using a small- animal in vivo model, we sought to identify a key metabolite whose levels are significantly modified following an acute kidney injury (AKI) and to analyze whether this agent could offer cardiac protection once an ischemic event has occurred. METHODS AND RESULTS Metabolomics profiling of cardiac lysates and plasma samples derived from rats that underwent AKI 1 or 7 days earlier by 5/6 nephrectomy versus sham-operated controls was performed. We detected 26 differential metabolites in both heart and plasma samples at the two selected time points, relative to sham. Out of which, kynurenic acid (kynurenate, KYNA) seemed most relevant. Interestingly, KYNA given at 10 mM concentration significantly rescued the viability of H9C2 cardiac myoblast cells grown under anoxic conditions and largely increased their mitochondrial content and activity as determined by flow cytometry and cell staining with MitoTracker dyes. Moreover, KYNA diluted in the drinking water of animals induced with an acute myocardial infarction, highly enhanced their cardiac recovery according to echocardiography and histopathology. CONCLUSION KYNA may represent a key metabolite absorbed by the heart following AKI as part of a compensatory mechanism aiming at preserving the cardiac function. KYNA preserves the in vitro myocyte viability following exposure to anoxia in a mechanism that is mediated, at least in part, by protection of the cardiac mitochondria. A short-term administration of KYNA may be highly beneficial in the treatment of the acute phase of kidney disease in order to attenuate progression to reno-cardiac syndrom and to reduce the ischemic myocardial damage following an ischemic event.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential channel (TRP channel) family is a kind of non- specific cation channel widely distributed in various tissues and organs of the human body, including the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, immune system, etc. It has been reported that various TRP channels are expressed in mammalian macrophages. TRP channels may be involved in various signaling pathways in the development of various systemic diseases through changes in intracellular concentrations of cations such as calcium and magnesium. These TRP channels may also intermingle with macrophage activation signals to jointly regulate the occurrence and development of diseases. Here, we summarize recent findings on the expression and function of TRP channels in macrophages and discuss their role as modulators of macrophage activation and function. As research on TRP channels in health and disease progresses, it is anticipated that positive or negative modulators of TRP channels for treating specific diseases may be promising therapeutic options for the prevention and/or treatment of disease.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the cardiovascular diseases with high morbidity and mortality. MI causes large amounts of apoptotic and necrotic cells that need to be efficiently and instantly engulfed by macrophage to avoid second necrosis. Phagocytic macrophages can dampen or resolve inflammation to protect infarcted heart. Phagocytosis of macrophages is modulated by various factors including proteins, receptors, lncRNA and cytokines. A better understanding of mechanisms in phagocytosis will be beneficial to regulate macrophage phagocytosis capability towards a desired direction in cardioprotection after MI. In this review, we describe the phagocytosis effect of macrophages and summarize the latest reported signals regulating phagocytosis after MI, which will provide a new thinking about phagocytosis-dependent cardiac protection after MI.

Abstract
Metastasis is the hallmark of failed tumor treatment and is typically associated with death due to cancer. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels affect changes in intracellular calcium concentrations and participate at every stage of metastasis. Further, they increase the migratory ability of tumor cells, promote angiogenesis, regulate immune function, and promote the growth of tumor cells through changes in gene expression and function. In this review, we explore the potential mechanisms of action of TRP channels, summarize their role in tumor metastasis, compile inhibitors of TRP channels relevant in tumors, and discuss current challenges in research on TRP channels involved in tumor metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent study has shown that the transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) channel was exclusively upregulated in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), and that this overexpression might be detrimental for occurrence and maintenance of AF. We aimed to characterize the expression levels of TRPV2 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with/without early recurrence of atrial fibrillation (ERAF) after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA), and to find a reliable predictor for ERAF. METHODS 65 patients of AF, who underwent RFCA successfully, then divided into two groups according to ERAF during following 3 months. PBMCs were isolated from whole blood by Ficoll gradient centrifugation before and after RFCA. Gene set enrichment analysis was performed to evaluate TRPV channels expression levels and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) mapping was used for pathway enrichment analysis. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the TRPV2 mRNA expression level between the two groups before RFCA, while without ERAF group of TRPV2 expression was markedly reduced compared to ERAF group after RFCA. Moreover, the number of TRPV2 expression was confirmed as an independent predictor for the first time through receiver operating characteristic and Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis. It should be pointed out that the above results were only used to predict ERAF, and have no predictive significance for late recurrence of atrial fibrillation according to the current data. Additionally, ERAF was inversely correlated with P wave dispersion. KEGG mapping further clustered 41 pathways, revealing that ''cyclic guanosine monophosphate-protein kinase G signaling pathway'' was significantly enriched. CONCLUSIONS We firstly assume that downregulated expression of peripheral TRPV2 appear in patients without ERAF after RFCA. TRPV2 may thus represent a novel predictor of early phase after successful radiofrequency ablation.

Abstract
Cannabinoids, used for centuries for recreational and medical purposes, have potential therapeutic value in stroke treatment. Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive compound and partial agonist of TRPV2 channels, is efficacious in many neurological disorders. We investigated the effects of CBD or Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in rat organotypic hippocampal slices exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), an in vitro model of ischemia. Neuronal TRPV2 expression decreased after OGD, but it increased in activated, phagocytic microglia. CBD increased TRPV2 expression, decreased microglia phagocytosis, and increased rod microglia after OGD. THC had effects contrary to those of CBD. Our results show that cannabinoids have different effects in ischemia. CBD showed neuroprotective effects, mediated, at least in part, by TRPV2 channels, since the TRPV2 antagonist tranilast blocked them, while THC worsened the neurodegeneration caused by ischemia. In conclusion, our results suggest that different cannabinoid molecules play different roles in the mechanisms of post-ischemic neuronal death. These different effects of cannabinoid observed in our experiments caution against the indiscriminate use of cannabis or cannabinoid preparations for recreational or therapeutic use. It was observed that the positive effects of CBD may be counteracted by the negative effects caused by high levels of THC.

Abstract
Cardiac fibroblasts make up a major proportion of non-excitable cells in the heart and contribute to the cardiac structural integrity and maintenance of the extracellular matrix. During myocardial injury, fibroblasts can be activated to trans-differentiate into myofibroblasts, which secrete extracellular matrix components as part of healing, but may also induce cardiac fibrosis and pathological cardiac structural and electrical remodeling. The mechanisms regulating such cellular processes still require clarification, but the identification of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in cardiac fibroblasts could provide further insights into the fibroblast-related pathophysiology. TRP proteins belong to a diverse superfamily, with subgroups such as the canonical (TRPC), vanilloid (TRPV), melastatin (TRPM), ankyrin (TRPA), polycystin (TRPP), and mucolipin (TRPML). Several TRP proteins form non-selective channels that are permeable to cations like Na+ and Ca2+ and are activated by various chemical and physical stimuli. This review highlights the role of TRP channels in cardiac fibroblasts and the possible underlying signaling mechanisms. Changes in the expression or activity of TRPs such as TRPCs, TRPVs, TRPMs, and TRPA channels modulate cardiac fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, especially under pathological conditions. Such TRPs contribute to cardiac fibroblast proliferation and differentiation as well as to disease conditions such as cardiac fibrosis, atrial fibrillation, and fibroblast metal toxicity. Thus, TRP channels in fibroblasts represent potential drug targets in cardiac disease.

Abstract
The heart contains a population of resident macrophages that markedly expands following injury through recruitment of monocytes and through proliferation of macrophages. In myocardial infarction, macrophages have been implicated in both injurious and reparative responses. In coronary atherosclerotic lesions, macrophages have been implicated in disease progression and in the pathogenesis of plaque rupture. Following myocardial infarction, resident macrophages contribute to initiation and regulation of the inflammatory response. Phagocytosis and efferocytosis are major functions of macrophages during the inflammatory phase of infarct healing, and mediate phenotypic changes, leading to acquisition of an anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype. Infarct macrophages respond to changes in the cytokine content and extracellular matrix composition of their environment and secrete fibrogenic and angiogenic mediators, playing a central role in repair of the infarcted heart. Macrophages may also play a role in scar maturation and may contribute to chronic adverse remodeling of noninfarcted segments. Single cell studies have revealed a remarkable heterogeneity of macrophage populations in infarcted hearts; however, the relations between transcriptomic profiles and functional properties remain poorly defined. This review manuscript discusses the fate, mechanisms of expansion and activation, and role of macrophages in the infarcted heart. Considering their critical role in injury, repair, and remodeling, macrophages are important, but challenging, targets for therapeutic interventions in myocardial infarction.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential (TRP) channels have been described in almost every mammalian cell type. Several members of the Vanilloid (TRPV) subtype have been found to play important roles in modulating cardiac structure and function through Ca2+ handling in response to systemic and local mechanobiological cues. In this review, we will consider the most studied TRPV channels in the cardiovascular field; transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 as a modulator of cardiac hypertrophy; transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 as a structural and functional protein; transient receptor potential vanilloid 3 in the development of hypertrophy and myocardial fibrosis; and transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 in its roles modulating the fibrotic and functional responses of the heart to pressure overload. Lastly, we will also review the potential overlapping roles of these channels with other TRP proteins as well as the advances in translational and clinical arenas associated with TRPV channels.

Abstract
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body and is central to many physiological processes, including immune system activation and maintenance. Studies continue to reveal the intricacies of calcium signalling within the immune system. Perhaps the most well-understood mechanism of calcium influx into cells is store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), which occurs via calcium release-activated channels (CRACs). SOCE is central to the activation of immune system cells; however, more recent studies have demonstrated the crucial role of other calcium channels, including transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. In this review, we describe the expression and function of TRP channels within the immune system and outline associations with murine models of disease and human conditions. Therefore, highlighting the importance of TRP channels in disease and reviewing potential. The TRP channel family is significant, and its members have a continually growing number of cellular processes. Within the immune system, TRP channels are involved in a diverse range of functions including T and B cell receptor signalling and activation, antigen presentation by dendritic cells, neutrophil and macrophage bactericidal activity, and mast cell degranulation. Not surprisingly, these channels have been linked to many pathological conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, chronic fatigue syndrome and myalgic encephalomyelitis, atherosclerosis, hypertension and atopy.

Production of TRPV2-targeting functional antibody ameliorating dilated cardiomyopathy and muscular dystrophy in animal models. J Transl Med 2020; 100:324-337.

Abstract
Abnormal Ca2+ handling is essential in the pathophysiology of degenerative muscle disorders, such as dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and muscular dystrophy (MD). Transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 2 (TRPV2) is a candidate for Ca2+ entry and a potential therapeutic target for degenerative muscle disorders, there are few specific inhibitors for TRPV2. In this study, we produced a monoclonal antibody (designated mAb88-2) and two polyclonal antibodies (pAb591 and pAb592) that selectively recognize TRPV2 from the outside of cells and interact with the turret region of the pore-forming outer gate. These antibodies inhibited Ca2+ influx via TRPV2 in cultured cells and substantially reduced TRPV2 in the plasma membrane via cellular internalization. We evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of the functional antibody in δ-sarcoglycan-deficient hamster (J2N-k) models of DCM and MD and in the 4C30 DCM model of murine heart failure. The intraperitoneal administration of the functional antibody (0.5 mg/kg) for 2 weeks (once a week) prevented the progression of cardiac dysfunction, as evaluated by echocardiography and histological staining, and improved the abnormal Ca2+ handling (high diastolic Ca2+ level and small Ca2+ transient peak) in cardiomyocytes isolated from J2N-k hamsters and prevented skeletal muscle damage. Further, the antibody effectively prevented heart failure in the 4C30 mouse model with end-stage DCM. Interestingly, endogenous TRPV2 that accumulated in the cardiac and skeletal muscle sarcolemma disappeared upon antibody administration. Thus, the newly produced antibodies are capable of ameliorating DCM and MD by promoting the cellular internalization of TRPV2; antibodies specific to human TRPV2 may substantially improve the treatment of patients with degenerative muscle diseases.

Abstract
Heart transplantation is currently the only viable option available for the treatment of severe heart failure conditions such as dilated cardiomyopathy. Hence, novel drugs for treating such conditions need to be developed urgently. Recent studies suggest that Ca2+ overload is involved in the onset and progression of dilated cardiomyopathy, and thus heart failure. The expression and activation of the Ca2+ permeable channel, transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) channel have been found to play an essential role in sustained intracellular Ca2+ concentration increase, leading to heart failure. However, since there have been no TRPV2-specific inhibitors available until recently, the effect of TRPV2 inhibition on the pathology has not been clearly elucidated. Recent reports show that inhibiting TRPV2 activity effectively improves cardiac function, suppressing myocardial fibrosis and ameliorating the prognosis in animal models of cardiomyopathy with heart failure. In addition to that, inflammation is reported to be involved in the development of heart failure. Here, we review the recent findings on TRPV2 in cardiomyocytes and immune cells involved in the development of heart failure and discuss the current progress of drug development for the treatment of heart failure via targeting TRPV2.

Abstract
TRPV2 is a well-conserved channel protein expressed in almost all tissues. Cardiomyocyte TRPV2 is expressed in the intercalated disks of the cardiac sarcomeres, where it is involved in maintaining the proper mechanoelectric coupling and structure. It is also abundantly expressed in the intracellular pools, mainly the endoplasmic reticulum. Under pathological conditions, TRPV2 is translocated to the sarcolemma, where it mediates an abnormal [Ca]2+ entry that may contribute to disease progression. In addition, an intracellularly diffused TRPV2 expression is present in resident cardiac macrophages. Upon infection or inflammation, TRPV2 is engaged in early phagosomes and is, therefore, potentially involved in protecting the cardiac tissue. Following acute myocardial infarction, a profound elevated expression of TRPV2 is observed on the cell membrane of the peri-infarct macrophages. The macrophage TRPV2 may harbor a detrimental effect in cardiac recovery by increasing unfavorable migration and phagocytosis processes in the injured heart. Most reports suggest that while cardiac TRPV2 activation may be beneficial under specific physiological conditions, both cardiac- and macrophage-related TRPV2 blocking can significantly ameliorate disease progression in various pathological states. To verify this possibility, the time frame of TRPV2 overexpression and its mediated signaling need to be fully characterized in both cardiomyocyte and cardiac macrophage populations.

Abstract
Muscular dystrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy are intractable diseases and their treatment options are very limited. Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V, member 2 (TRPV2), is a stretch-sensitive Ca2+-permeable channel that causes sustained intracellular Ca2+ increase in muscular cells, which is a pathophysiological feature of degenerative muscular disease. Recent reports have clarified that TRPV2 is concentrated and activated in the sarcolemma of cardiomyocytes/myocytes during cardiomyopathy/heart failure and muscular dystrophy. Furthermore, these reports showed that inactivation of TRPV2 ameliorates muscle dysgenesis to improve cardiac function and survival prognosis. Although TRPV2 is a potential therapeutic target for cardiomyopathy, there were no TRPV2 inhibitors available until recently. In this review, we introduce our recent findings and discuss the current progress in the development of TRPV2 inhibitors and their therapeutic applications for cardiomyopathy associated with muscular dystrophy.

Abstract
Calcium is an important second messenger required not only for the excitation-contraction coupling of the heart but also critical for the activation of cell signaling pathways involved in the adverse cardiac remodeling and consequently for the heart failure. Sustained neurohumoral activation, pressure-overload, or myocardial injury can cause pathologic hypertrophic growth of the heart followed by interstitial fibrosis. The consequent heart’s structural and molecular adaptation might elevate the risk of developing heart failure and malignant arrhythmia. Compelling evidences have demonstrated that Ca2+ entry through TRP channels might play pivotal roles in cardiac function and pathology. TRP proteins are classified into six subfamilies: TRPC (canonical), TRPV (vanilloid), TRPM (melastatin), TRPA (ankyrin), TRPML (mucolipin), and TRPP (polycystin), which are activated by numerous physical and/or chemical stimuli. TRP channels participate to the handling of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration in cardiac myocytes and are mediators of different cardiovascular alterations. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge of TRP proteins implication in the pathologic process of some frequent cardiac diseases associated with the adverse cardiac remodeling such as cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and conduction alteration.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid channel 2 (TRPV2) is required for normal cardiac contractility. The stimulation of TRPV1 in isolated cardiomyocytes can aggravate the effect of hypoxia/ reoxygenation (H/R) on H9C2 cells. The knockout of the TRPV1 gene promotes increased tolerance of the isolated perfused heart to the impact of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). However, activation of TRPV1 increases the resistance of the heart to I/R due to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) release from afferent nerve endings. It has been established that TRPV1 and TRPV2 are involved in the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction and, in all likelihood, ensure the cardiac tolerance to the ischemia/reperfusion. It has also been documented that the activation of TRPV4 negatively affects the stability of cardiomyocytes to the H/R. The blockade of TRPV4 can be considered as a new approach to the prevention of I/R injury of the heart. Studies also indicate that TRPV1 is involved in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy and that TRPV2 channels participate in the pathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy. Excessive expression of TRPV2 leads to chronic Ca2+- overload of cardiomyocytes, which may contribute to the development of cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
A rapidly growing area of interest in biomedical science involves the reciprocal crosstalk between the sensory nervous and immune systems. Both of these systems are highly integrated, detecting potential environmental harms and restoring homeostasis. Many different cytokines, receptors, neuropeptides, and other proteins are involved in this bidirectional communication that are common to both systems. One such family of proteins includes the transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) proteins. Though much progress has been made in understanding TRPV proteins in the nervous system, their functions in the immune system are not well elucidated. Hence, further understanding their role in the peripheral immune system and as regulators of neuroimmunity is critical for evaluating their potential as therapeutic targets for numerous inflammatory disorders, cancers, and other disease states. Here, we focus on the latest advancements in understanding TRPV1 and TRPV2's roles in the immune system, TRPV1 in neuroimmunity, and TRPV1's potential involvement in anti-tumor therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitochondria hold crucial importance in organs with high energy demand especially the heart. We investigated whether chronic kidney disease (CKD), which eventually culminates in cardiorenal syndrome, could affect cardiac mitochondria and assessed the potential involvement of angiotensin II (AngII) in the process. METHODS Male Lewis rats underwent 5/6 nephrectomy allowing CKD development for eight months or for eleven weeks. Short-term CKD rats were administered with AngII receptor blocker (ARB). Cardiac function was assessed by echocardiography and cardiac sections were evaluated for interstitial fibrosis and cardiomyocytes' hypertrophy. Electron microscopy was used to explore the spatial organization of the cardiomyocytes. Expression levels of mitochondrial content and activity markers were tested in order to delineate the underlying mechanisms for mitochondrial pathology in the CKD setting with or without ARB administration. RESULTS CKD per-se resulted in induced cardiac interstitial fibrosis and cardiomyocytes' hypertrophy combined with a marked disruption of the mitochondrial structure. Moreover, CKD led to enhanced cytochrome C leakage to the cytosol and to enhanced PARP-1 cleavage which are associated with cellular apoptosis. ARB treatment did not improve kidney function but markedly reduced left ventricular mass, cardiomyocytes' hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis. Interestingly, ARB administration improved the spatial organization of cardiac mitochondria and reduced their increased volume compared to untreated CKD animals. Nevertheless, ARB did not improve mitochondrial content, mitochondrial biogenesis or the respiratory enzyme activity. ARB mildly upregulated protein levels of mitochondrial fusion-related proteins. CONCLUSIONS CKD results in cardiac pathological changes combined with mitochondrial damage and elevated apoptotic markers. We anticipate that the increased mitochondrial volume mainly represents mitochondrial swelling that occurs during the pathological process of cardiac hypertrophy. Chronic administration of ARB may improve the pathological appearance of the heart. Further recognition of the molecular pathways leading to mitochondrial insult and appropriate intervention is of crucial importance.

Abstract
Transmembrane cation channels include those for calcium, copper and iron ion transport. Each channel has physiological significance, and all have been associated with disease. However, the comparative study of transcriptional‑translational levels in canine organs has not been previously reported. In the present study, organ‑specific expression of calcium channels, including sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger 3 (NCKX3) and transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 2 (TRPV2), copper channels, including high affinity copper uptake protein 1 (CTR1) and copper‑transporting ATPase 1 (ATP7A), and iron channels, including iron‑regulated transporter 1 (IREG1) and hephaestin (HEPH) proteins and their mRNAs were examined in the canine duodenum, kidney, spleen and liver. NCKX3 protein expression was highest in the kidney, moderate in the duodenum, and lowest in the spleen and liver, whereas TRPV2 protein was highly expressed in the kidney, duodenum and liver, and was low in the spleen. The CTR1 protein expression level was highest in the liver, followed (in descending order) by the duodenum, kidney and spleen. The ATP7A protein expression level was highest in the duodenum and lowest in the spleen. The IREG1 protein expression level was highest in the liver, followed (in descending order) by the kidney, duodenum and spleen. The HEPH protein level was high in liver, moderate in the duodenum and kidney, and low in the spleen. The results of the immunohistochemistry analysis demonstrated ion channel protein localizations. These results suggested that cation channel proteins are differentially expressed among canine organs, and they may be involved in organ‑specific functions associated with the maintenance of physiological homeostasis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We have recently shown that the transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) channel is exclusively upregulated in rat/murine peri-infarct monocytes/macrophages following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and that this overexpression might be detrimental for cardiac recovery. We aimed to characterize the expression levels of TRPV2 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of AMI patients relative to individuals with normal coronaries, and to analyze potential associations with inflammatory and cardiac ischemic markers. METHODS Patients who underwent coronary angiography due to AMI or chest pain were prospectively included. PBMCs were isolated from whole blood by Ficoll gradient centrifugation. TRPV2 expression was analyzed by real-time PCR. C-reactive protein (CRP) and troponin I (TpI) levels were determined at the central chemistry laboratory; interleukin 6 and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 levels were tested by ELISA. RESULTS Following AMI, the number of TRPV2-expressing PBMCs was reduced when compared to in patients with normal coronaries. An inverse correlation was documented between the numbers of circulating macrophages and TRPV2 expression. Additionally, TRPV2 expression was inversely correlated with CRP and TpI and directly correlated with serum IGF-1. CONCLUSIONS We assume that peripheral TRPV2 downregulation occurs concomitantly with the accumulation of TRPV2-white blood cells in the peri-infarct zone. TRPV2 may thus represent a novel target for treatment in the acute phase after MI.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial transient potential (TRP) channels, located mostly on the plasma membrane of cells, are critical in regulatory and pathophysiological circumstances. The objective of this chapter is to describe several well-established approaches, ranging from function to molecular assays, to investigate the mechanistic role of TRP channels in vascular endothelial cells. We show experimental procedures and representative figures on the following methods: (1) Isolation and culture of vascular endothelial cells, (2) examination of electrophysiological activity of TRP channel by patch-clamping with whole-cell configuration and its function in vascular tone and blood flow by isometric tension and isobaric diameter measurements, and Laser Doppler flowmetry, (3) detection of TRP channel-mediated intracellular Ca2+ imaging by using fluorescent microscopy, and (4) determination of TRP channel interaction by coimmunoprecipitation, double immunofluorescence staining and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) detection.

Abstract
Inter-organ crosstalk plays an essential role in the physiological homeostasis of the heart and other organs, and requires a complex interaction between a host of cellular, molecular, and neural factors. Derangements in these interactions can initiate multi-organ dysfunction. This is the case, for instance, in the heart or kidneys where a pathological alteration in one organ can unfavorably affect function in another distant organ; attention is currently being paid to understanding the physiopathological consequences of kidney dysfunction on cardiac performance that lead to cardiorenal syndrome. Different cardiorenal connectors (renin-angiotensin or sympathetic nervous system activation, inflammation, uremia, etc.) and non-traditional risk factors potentially contribute to multi-organ failure. Of these, inflammation may be crucial as inflammatory cells contribute to over-production of eicosanoids and lipid second messengers that activate intracellular signaling pathways involved in pathogenesis. Indeed, inflammation biomarkers are often elevated in patients with cardiac or renal dysfunction. Epigenetics, a dynamic process that regulates gene expression and function, is also recognized as an important player in single-organ disease. Principal epigenetic modifications occur at the level of DNA (i.e., methylation) and histone proteins; aberrant DNA methylation is associated with pathogenesis of organ dysfunction through a number of mechanisms (inflammation, nitric oxide bioavailability, endothelin, etc.). Herein, we focus on the potential contribution of inflammation in pathogenesis of cardiorenal syndrome.

Abstract
Background We have recently shown that the expression of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 channel, TRPV2, is upregulated in the peri-infarct zone 3–5 days following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Further analysis has demonstrated that invading monocytes maturing to macrophages merely harbor the documented elevated expression of this channel. Purpose Assess cardiac function in TRPV2-KO mice compared to TRPV2-WT following AMI and analyze the potential involvement of TRPV2-expressing macrophages in the recovery process. Methods TRPV2-KO or WT mice were induced with AMI by ligation of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). In another set of experiments, TRPV2-KO mice induced with AMI, were intravenously (IV) injected with WT or TRPV2-KO peritoneal macrophages in order to directly assess the potential contribution of TRPV2-expressing macrophages to cardiac healing. Cardiac parameters were obtained by echocardiography 1 day and 30 days post infarction. The relative changes in the ejection fraction (EF) and additional cardiac parameters between baseline (day 1) and day 30 were calculated and statistical significance was determined (SPSS). Results The in vivo study showed that while EF was significantly decreased in the WT animals between baseline and day 30, EF was only slightly and insignificantly reduced in the KO animals. Likewise LVESD and LVESA were significantly modified exclusively in the WT animals. Moreover, intravenous administration of peritoneal WT macrophages, but not KO macrophages, significantly reduced survival of post-MI TRPV2-KO mice. Conclusion The data suggest that knockout of the TRPV2 channel may attenuate macrophage-dependent pro-inflammatory processes and result in better cardiac recovery. TRPV2 may thus represent a novel therapeutic target for treatment of patients undergoing an acute MI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) exposes the systemic vasculature to increased mechanical forces. Endothelial adaptation to mechanical stimuli is associated with angiogenic activation through various growth factors. We studied the potential angiogenic shift evoked by TAVR. METHODS From a cohort of 69 consecutive patients undergoing TAVR, we excluded patients with conditions known to affect angiogenic factors, and serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietin (Ang)-1 and Ang-2 were assessed by ELISA. We assessed in vitro the properties of endothelial cells after exposure to serum collected from patients undergoing TAVR using adhesion, migration, and Matrigel angiogenesis assays. The correlation between changes in angiogenic factors and cardiac functions was evaluated on 30- day echocardiograms. RESULTS The study population consisted of 46 patients (82 ± 5 years). Two days after TAVR the post/pre TAVR ratio of VEGF, Ang-1, and Ang-2 was 5.38 ± 4 (P < 0.001), 1.05 ± 0.49 (P = 0.27), and 4.65 ± 2.01 (P < 0.001), respectively. The increase in VEGF and Ang-2 showed a significant correlation (r = 0.609; P < 0.001), but no correlation was found with hemolysis or tissue injury markers. Patients with relatively low levels of VEGF or an Ang-2 rise had more severe aortic stenosis and coronary disease at baseline. Exposure of endothelial cells to post-TAVR serum induced adhesion, migration, and tube formation compared with pre-TAVR serum. An increase in VEGF levels correlated with improvement in pulmonary systolic pressure and a right ventricular fractional area change at 30 days, (r = 0.54 and r = 0.48, respectively; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Sustained elevation of VEGF and Ang-2 levels occur after TAVR, reflecting a systemic angiogenic shift. A rise in VEGF levels is associated with a decrease in pulmonary blood pressure in patients undergoing TAVR.

Abstract
A complex network of many interacting mechanisms orchestrates immune and inflammatory responses. Among these, the cation channels of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family expressed by resident tissue cells, inflammatory and immune cells and distinct subsets of primary sensory neurons, have emerged as a novel and interrelated system to detect and respond to harmful agents. TRP channels, by means of their direct effect on the intracellular levels of cations and/or through the indirect modulation of a large series of intracellular pathways, orchestrate a range of cellular processes, such as cytokine production, cell differentiation and cytotoxicity. The contribution of TRP channels to the transition of inflammation and immune responses from a defensive early response to a chronic and pathological condition is also emerging as a possible underlying mechanism in various diseases. This review discusses the roles of TRP channels in inflammatory and immune cell function and provides an overview of the effects of inflammatory and immune TRP channels on the pathogenesis of human diseases.

Abstract
ThermoTRPs are unique channels that mediate Na(+) and Ca(2+) currents in response to changes in ambient temperature. In combination with their activation by other physical and chemical stimuli, they are considered key integrators of environmental cues into neuronal excitability. Furthermore, roles of thermoTRPs in non-neuronal tissues are currently emerging such as insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells, and links to cancer. Calcium permeability through thermoTRPs appears a central hallmark for their physiological and pathological activities. Moreover, it is currently being proposed that beyond working as a second messenger, Ca(2+) can function locally by acting on protein complexes near the membrane. Interestingly, thermoTRPs can enhance and expand the inherent plasticity of signalplexes by conferring them temperature, pH and lipid regulation through Ca(2+) signalling. Thus, unveiling the local role of Ca(2+) fluxes induced by thermoTRPs on the dynamics of membrane-attached signalling complexes as well as their significance in cellular processes, are central issues that will expand the opportunities for therapeutic intervention in disorders involving dysfunction of thermoTRP channels.

[PMID: 26482920 PMCID: PMC4851701 DOI: 10.1007/s00281-015-0536-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2015] [Accepted: 10/08/2015] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Despite considerable advances in the research and treatment, the precise relationship between inflammation and cardiovascular (CV) disease remains incompletely understood. Therefore, understanding the immunoinflammatory processes underlying the initiation, progression, and exacerbation of many cardiovascular diseases is of prime importance. The innate immune system has an ancient origin and is well conserved across species. Its activation occurs in response to pathogens or tissue injury. Recent studies suggest that altered ionic balance, and production of noxious gaseous mediators link to immune and inflammatory responses with altered ion channel expression and function. Among plausible candidates for this are transient receptor potential (TRP) channels that function as polymodal sensors and scaffolding proteins involved in many physiological and pathological processes. In this review, we will first focus on the relevance of TRP channel to both exogenous and endogenous factors related to innate immune response and transcription factors related to sustained inflammatory status. The emerging role of inflammasome to regulate innate immunity and its possible connection to TRP channels will also be discussed. Secondly, we will discuss about the linkage of TRP channels to inflammatory CV diseases, from a viewpoint of inflammation in a general sense which is not restricted to the innate immunity. These knowledge may serve to provide new insights into the pathogenesis of various inflammatory CV diseases and their novel therapeutic strategies.
