[PMID: 38868032 PMCID: PMC11167295 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) affects immune responses by regulating calcium homeostasis, but its role in calcific aortic valve inflammation remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the expression and function of TRPM4 in patients with or without calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). Methods The mRNA and protein expression levels of TRPM4 and related factors in calcified and noncalcified tissues were measured using qRT-PCR and Western blot. The proteins interacting with TRPM4 were confirmed by RNA pull-down and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay was performed to confirm the m6A site of TRPM4. Results The mRNA expression levels of TRPM4, TLR4, IL-6, MCP-1, TNF-α, and NF-κB p65 were significantly higher in calcified aortic valve tissues than in noncalcified tissues, and TRPM4 was significantly positively correlated with inflammation-related factors. The protein expression level of TRPM4, TLR4 and NF-κB p65 were significantly higher in calcified aortic valve tissues than in noncalcified tissues. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of TRPM4 mRNA by METTL3-YTHDF1 up-regulated its expression in CAVD. And TRPM4 promoted the level of inflammation via activation of the JNK-MAPK signaling pathway, after knockdown TRPM4, the production of proinflammatory cytokines was significantly suppressed. Conclusion The results indicate the pivotal role of TRPM4 in CAVD and highlight METTL3-mediated m6A modification of TRPM4 in promoting inflammation through JNK-MAPK signaling pathway. This work provides potential therapeutic strategy to impede inflammation in CAVD.

[PMID: 38547769 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.111931] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
Peficitinib is a selective Janus kinase (JAK3) inhibitor recently developed and approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in Japan. Glycolysis in macrophages could induce NOD-like receptor (NLR) family and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation, thus resulting in pyroptosis and acute lung injury (ALI). The aim of our study was to investigate whether Peficitinib could alleviate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Wild type C57BL/6J mice were intraperitoneally injected with Peficitinib (5 or 10 mg·kg-1·day-1) for 7 consecutive days before LPS injection. The results showed that Peficitinib pretreatment significantly relieved LPS-induced pulmonary edema, inflammation, and apoptosis. NLRP3 inflammasome and glycolysis in murine lung tissues challenged with LPS were also blocked by Peficitinib. Furthermore, we found that the activation of JAK3/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) was also suppressed by Peficitinib in mice with ALI. However, in Jak3 knockout mice, Peficitinib did not show obvious protective effects after LPS injection. In vitro experiments further showed that Jak3 overexpression completely abolished Peficitinib-elicited inhibitory effects on pyroptosis and glycolysis in LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophages. Finally, we unveiled that LPS-induced activation of JAK3/STAT3 was mediated by toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in RAW264.7 macrophages. Collectively, our study proved that Peficitinib could protect against ALI by blocking JAK3-mediated glycolysis and pyroptosis in macrophages, which may serve as a promising candidate against ALI in the future.

Abstract
To date, several members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels which provide a wide array of roles have been found in the gastrointestinal tract (GI). The goal of earlier research was to comprehend the intricate signaling cascades that contribute to TRP channel activation as well as how these receptors' activity affects other systems. Moreover, there is a large volume of published studies describing the role of TRP channels in a number of pathological disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and sepsis. Nevertheless, the generalizability of these results is subject to certain limitations. For instance, the study of IBD relies on various animal models and experimental methods, which are unable to precisely imitate the multifactorial chronic disease. The diverse pathophysiological mechanisms and unique susceptibility of animals may account for the inconsistency of the experimental data collected. The main purpose of this study was to conduct a comprehensive review and analysis of existing studies on transient receptor potential (TRP) channels implicating specific models of colitis and sepsis, with particular emphasis on their involvement in pathological disorders such as IBD and sepsis. Furthermore, the text endeavors to evaluate the generalizability of experimental findings, taking into consideration the limitations posed by animal models and experimental methodologies. Finally, we also provide an updated schematic of the most important and possible molecular signaling pathways associated with TRP channels in IBD and sepsis.

Abstract
Cardiac arrhythmias pose a major threat to a patient's health, yet prove to be often difficult to predict, prevent and treat. A key mechanism in the occurrence of arrhythmias is disturbed Ca2+ homeostasis in cardiac muscle cells. As a Ca2+-activated non-selective cation channel, TRPM4 has been linked to Ca2+-induced arrhythmias, potentially contributing to translating an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration into membrane depolarisation and an increase in cellular excitability. Indeed, evidence from genetically modified mice, analysis of mutations in human patients and the identification of a TRPM4 blocking compound that can be applied in vivo further underscore this hypothesis. Here, we provide an overview of these data in the context of our current understanding of Ca2+-dependent arrhythmias.

Abstract
Disease progression is usually accompanied by changes in the biochemical composition of cells and tissues and their biophysical properties. For instance, hallmarks of cancer include the stiffening of tissues caused by extracellular matrix remodelling and the softening of individual cancer cells. In this context, accumulating evidence has shown that immune cells sense and respond to mechanical signals from the environment. However, the mechanisms regulating these mechanical aspects of immune surveillance remain partially understood. The growing appreciation for the 'mechano-immunology' field has urged researchers to investigate how immune cells sense and respond to mechanical cues in various disease settings, paving the way for the development of novel engineering strategies that aim at mechanically modulating and potentiating immune cells for enhanced immunotherapies. Recent pioneer developments in this direction have laid the foundations for leveraging 'mechanical immunoengineering' strategies to treat various diseases. This Review first outlines the mechanical changes occurring during pathological progression in several diseases, including cancer, fibrosis and infection. We next highlight the mechanosensitive nature of immune cells and how mechanical forces govern the immune responses in different diseases. Finally, we discuss how targeting the biomechanical features of the disease milieu and immune cells is a promising strategy for manipulating therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels act as cellular sensors and mediate a plethora of physiological processes, including somatosensation, proliferation, apoptosis, and metabolism. Under specific conditions, certain TRP channels are involved in inflammation and immune responses. Thus, focusing on the role of TRPs in immune system cells may contribute to resolving inflammation. In this review, we discuss the distribution of five subfamilies of mammalian TRP ion channels in immune system cells and how these ion channels function in inflammatory mechanisms. This review provides an overview of the current understanding of TRP ion channels in mediating inflammation and may offer potential avenues for therapeutic intervention.

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
Ischemic stroke is a devastating disease that affects millions of patients worldwide. Unfortunately, there are no effective medications for mitigating brain injury after ischemic stroke. TRP channels are evolutionally ancient biosensors that detect external stimuli as well as tissue or cellular injury. To date, many members of the TRP superfamily have been reported to contribute to ischemic brain injury, including the TRPC subfamily (1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), TRPV subfamily (1, 2, 3, 4) and TRPM subfamily (2, 4, 7). These TRP channels share structural similarities but have distinct channel functions and properties. Their activation during ischemic stroke can be beneficial, detrimental, or even both. In this review, we focus on discussing the interesting features of stroke-related TRP channels and summarizing the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for their involvement in ischemic brain injury.

Abstract
Background The immune system, composed of organs, tissues, cells, and proteins, is the key to protecting the body from external biological attacks and inflammation. The latter occurs in several pathologies, such as cancers, type 1 diabetes, and human immunodeficiency virus infection. Immunophenotyping by flow cytometry is the method of choice for diagnosing these pathologies. Under inflammatory conditions, the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are partially activated and generate intracellular pathways involving Ca2+-dependent signaling cascades leading to transcription factor expression. Ca2+ signaling is typically studied by microscopy in cell lines but can present some limitations to explore human PBMCs, where flow cytometry can be a good alternative. Objective In this review, we dived into the research field of inflammation and Ca2+ signaling in PBMCs. We aimed to investigate the structure and evolution of this field in a physio-pathological context, and then we focused our review on flow cytometry analysis of Ca2+ fluxes in PBMCs. Methods From 1984 to 2022, 3865 articles on inflammation and Ca2+ signaling in PBMCs were published, according to The Clarivate Web of Science (WOS) database used in this review. A bibliometric study was designed for this collection and consisted of a co-citation and bibliographic coupling analysis. Results The co-citation analysis was performed on 133 articles: 4 clusters highlighted the global context of Ca2+ homeostasis, including chemical probe development, identification of the leading players in Ca2+ signaling, and the link with chemokine production in immune cell function. Next, the bibliographic coupling analysis combined 998 articles in 8 clusters. This analysis outlined the mechanisms of PBMC activation, from signal integration to cellular response. Further explorations of the bibliographic coupling network, focusing on flow cytometry, revealed 21 articles measuring cytosolic Ca2+ in PBMCs, with only 5 since 2016. This final query showed that Ca2+ signaling analysis in human PBMCs using flow cytometry is still underdeveloped and investigates mainly the cytosolic Ca2+ compartment. Conclusion Our review uncovers remaining knowledge gaps of intracellular players involved in Ca2+ signaling in PBMCs, such as reticulum and mitochondria, and presents flow cytometry as a solid option to supplement gold-standard microscopy studies.

Abstract
Purpose Intra-abdominal infection is a complex pathophysiological process involving multiple systems and organs of the body. Abdominal infections complicated by severe sepsis or septic shock have a high mortality rate of 30-50%. Therefore, novel strategies to treat sepsis are urgently needed. Methods Andrographolide (AD), the main active ingredient of Andrographis paniculata, reportedly exerts beneficial effects on mice with sepsis. However, its exact mechanism of action in attenuating inflammation due to intra-abdominal sepsis remains unclear to date. Hence, this study aimed to examine the therapeutic effects of AD on cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Results Results showed that AD therapy could significantly improve the 7-day survival rate and alleviate pathological organ injury in mice with CLP. In addition, AD treatment decreased the levels of proinflammatory factors, such as tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin (IL)-6 in the peritoneal cavity fluid and blood and increased the level of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 in the peritoneal cavity fluid of mice with CLP. Moreover, bacterial counts in the blood and peritoneal lavage fluid were lower in the mice treated with AD than in those untreated. Mechanistically, AD treatment increased the percentage and phagocytic activity of macrophages in the peritoneal cavity. Conclusion These data showed that AD can improve the survival of mice with intra-abdominal sepsis by enhancing bacterial clearance, as evidenced by the increased percentages and phagocytic activity of macrophages in the peritoneal cavity. This study is the first to demonstrate the protective effects of AD against intra-abdominal sepsis.

Abstract
The current Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is highly contagious infection that breaks the healthcare systems of several countries worldwide. Till to date, no effective antiviral drugs against COVID-19 infection have reached the market, and some repurposed drugs and vaccines are prescribed for the treatment and prevention of this disease. The currently prescribed COVID-19 vaccines are less effective against the newly emergent variants of concern of SARS-CoV-2 due to several mutations in viral spike protein and obviously there is an urgency to develop new antiviral drugs against this disease. In this review article, we systematically discussed the anti-SARS-CoV-2 and anti-inflammatory efficacy of two flavonoids, baicalein and its 7-O-glucuronide, baicalin, isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis, Oroxylum indicum, and other plants as well as their pharmacokinetics and oral bioavailability, for development of safe and effective drugs for COVID-19 treatment. Both baicalein and baicalin target the activities of viral S-, 3CL-, PL-, RdRp- and nsp13-proteins, and host mitochondrial OXPHOS for suppression of viral infection. Moreover, these compounds prevent sepsis-related inflammation and organ injury by modulation of host innate immune responses. Several nanoformulated and inclusion complexes of baicalein and baicalin have been reported to increase oral bioavailability, but their safety and efficacy in SARS-CoV-2-infected transgenic animals are not yet evaluated. Future studies on these compounds are required for use in clinical trials of COVID-19 patients.

Zhang M, Ma Y, Ye X, Zhang N, Pan L, Wang B. TRP (transient receptor potential) ion channel family: structures, biological functions and therapeutic interventions for diseases. Signal Transduct Target Ther 2023; 8:261. [PMID: 37402746 DOI: 10.1038/s41392-023-01464-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 36.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 03/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 07/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are sensors for a variety of cellular and environmental signals. Mammals express a total of 28 different TRP channel proteins, which can be divided into seven subfamilies based on amino acid sequence homology: TRPA (Ankyrin), TRPC (Canonical), TRPM (Melastatin), TRPML (Mucolipin), TRPN (NO-mechano-potential, NOMP), TRPP (Polycystin), TRPV (Vanilloid). They are a class of ion channels found in numerous tissues and cell types and are permeable to a wide range of cations such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, and others. TRP channels are responsible for various sensory responses including heat, cold, pain, stress, vision and taste and can be activated by a number of stimuli. Their predominantly location on the cell surface, their interaction with numerous physiological signaling pathways, and the unique crystal structure of TRP channels make TRPs attractive drug targets and implicate them in the treatment of a wide range of diseases. Here, we review the history of TRP channel discovery, summarize the structures and functions of the TRP ion channel family, and highlight the current understanding of the role of TRP channels in the pathogenesis of human disease. Most importantly, we describe TRP channel-related drug discovery, therapeutic interventions for diseases and the limitations of targeting TRP channels in potential clinical applications.

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.

Roles of TRPM4 in immune responses in keratinocytes and identification of a novel TRPM4-activating agent. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2023; 654:1-9.

Abstract
The skin is a protective interface between the internal organs and environment and functions not only as a physical barrier but also as an immune organ. However, the immune system in the skin is not fully understood. A member of the thermo-sensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) channel family, TRPM4, which acts as a regulatory receptor in immune cells, was recently reported to be expressed in human skin and keratinocytes. However, the function of TRPM4 in immune responses in keratinocytes has not been investigated. In this study, we found that treatment with BTP2, a known TRPM4 agonist, reduced cytokine production induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α in normal human epidermal keratinocytes and in immortalized human epidermal keratinocytes (HaCaT cells). This cytokine-reducing effect was not observed in TRPM4-deficient HaCaT cells, indicating that TRPM4 contributed to the control of cytokine production in keratinocytes. Furthermore, we identified aluminum potassium sulfate, as a new TRPM4 activating agent. Aluminum potassium sulfate reduced Ca2+ influx by store-operated Ca2+ entry in human TRPM4-expressing HEK293T cells. We further confirmed that aluminum potassium sulfate evoked TRPM4-mediated currents, showing direct evidence for TRPM4 activation. Moreover, treatment with aluminum potassium sulfate reduced cytokine expression induced by TNFα in HaCaT cells. Taken together, our data suggested that TRPM4 may serve as a new target for the treatment of skin inflammatory reactions by suppressing the cytokine production in keratinocytes, and aluminum potassium sulfate is a useful ingredient to prevent undesirable skin inflammation through TRPM4 activation.

Abstract
Upon myocardial infarction (MI), ischemia-induced cell death triggers an inflammatory response responsible for removing necrotic material and inducing tissue repair. TRPM4 is a Ca2+-activated ion channel permeable to monovalent cations. Although its role in cardiomyocyte-driven hypertrophy and arrhythmia post-MI has been established, no study has yet investigated its role in the inflammatory process orchestrated by endothelial cells, immune cells, and fibroblasts. This study aims to assess the role of TRPM4 in 1) survival and cardiac function, 2) inflammation, and 3) healing post-MI. We performed ligation of the left coronary artery or sham intervention on 154 Trpm4 WT or KO mice under isoflurane anesthesia. Survival and echocardiographic functions were monitored up to 5 wk. We collected serum during the acute post-MI phase to analyze proteomes and performed single-cell RNA sequencing on nonmyocytic cells of hearts after 24 and 72 h. Lastly, we assessed chronic fibrosis and angiogenesis. We observed no significant differences in survival or cardiac function, even though our proteomics data showed significantly decreased tissue injury markers (i.e., creatine kinase M and VE-cadherin) in KO serum after 12 h. On the other hand, inflammation, characterized by serum amyloid P component in the serum, higher number of recruited granulocytes, inflammatory monocytes, and macrophages, as well as expression of proinflammatory genes, was significantly higher in KO. This correlated with increased chronic cardiac fibrosis and angiogenesis. Since inflammation and fibrosis are closely linked to adverse remodeling, future therapeutic attempts at inhibiting TRPM4 will need to assess these parameters carefully before proceeding with translational studies.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Deletion of Trpm4 increases markers of cardiac and systemic inflammation within the first 24 h after MI, while inducing an earlier fibrotic transition at 72 h and more overall chronic fibrosis and angiogenesis at 5 wk. The descriptive, robust, and methodologically broad approach of this study sheds light on an important caveat that will need to be taken into account in all future therapeutic attempts to inhibit TRPM4 post-MI.

Abstract
The role of ion channels is extensively described in the context of the electrical activity of excitable cells and in excitation-contraction coupling. They are, through this phenomenon, a key element for cardiac activity and its dysfunction. They also participate in cardiac morphological remodeling, in particular in situations of hypertrophy. Alongside this, a new field of exploration concerns the role of ion channels in valve development and remodeling. Cardiac valves are important components in the coordinated functioning of the heart by ensuring unidirectional circulation essential to the good efficiency of the cardiac pump. In this review, we will focus on the ion channels involved in both the development and/or the pathological remodeling of the aortic valve. Regarding valve development, mutations in genes encoding for several ion channels have been observed in patients suffering from malformation, including the bicuspid aortic valve. Ion channels were also reported to be involved in the morphological remodeling of the valve, characterized by the development of fibrosis and calcification of the leaflets leading to aortic stenosis. The final stage of aortic stenosis requires, until now, the replacement of the valve. Thus, understanding the role of ion channels in the progression of aortic stenosis is an essential step in designing new therapeutic approaches in order to avoid valve replacement.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) is a Ca2+-activated, monovalent cation channel that is expressed in a wide range of cells. We previously reported two gain-of-function (GoF) mutations of TRPM4 as the cause of progressive symmetric erythrokeratodermia (PSEK), which shares similar clinical and histopathological features with psoriasis. Using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, we generated TRPM4I1029M mice that have the equivalent mutation to one of the two genetic mutations found in human PSEK (equivalent to human TRPM4I1033M). Using this mutant mice, we examined the effects of TRPM4 GoF at the cellular and phenotypic levels to elucidate the pathological mechanisms underlying PSEK. In the absence of experimental stimulation, TRPM4I1029M mice did not show a phenotype. When treated with imiquimod (IMQ), however, TRPM4I1029M mice were predisposed to more severe psoriasiform dermatitis (PsD) than wild-type (WT), which was characterized by greater accumulation of CCR6-expressing γδ T cells and higher mRNA levels of Il17a. In TRPM4I1029M mice, dendritic cells showed enhanced migration and keratinocytes exhibited increased proliferation. Moreover, a TRPM4 inhibitor, glibenclamide, ameliorated PsD in WT and TRPM4I1029M mice. Our results indicate elevated TRPM4 activities boosted susceptibility to cutaneous stimuli, likely through elevation of membrane potential and alteration of downstream cellular signaling, resulting in enhanced inflammation. Our results further suggest a possible therapeutic application of TRPM4 inhibitors in psoriasis.

Abstract
The expanding roles of macrophages in physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms now include normal tissue homeostasis, tissue repair and regeneration, including neuronal tissue; initiation, progression, and resolution of the inflammatory response and a diverse array of anti-microbial activities. Two hallmarks of macrophage activity which appear to be fundamental to their diverse cellular functionalities are cellular plasticity and phenotypic heterogeneity. Macrophage plasticity allows these cells to take on a broad spectrum of differing cellular phenotypes in response to local and possibly previous encountered environmental signals. Cellular plasticity also contributes to tissue- and stimulus-dependent macrophage heterogeneity, which manifests itself as different macrophage phenotypes being found at different tissue locations and/or after different cell stimuli. Together, plasticity and heterogeneity align macrophage phenotypes to their required local cellular functions and prevent inappropriate activation of the cell, which could lead to pathology. To execute the appropriate function, which must be regulated at the qualitative, quantitative, spatial and temporal levels, macrophages constantly monitor intracellular and extracellular parameters to initiate and control the appropriate cell signaling cascades. The sensors and signaling mechanisms which control macrophages are the focus of a considerable amount of research. Ion channels regulate the flow of ions between cellular membranes and are critical to cell signaling mechanisms in a variety of cellular functions. It is therefore surprising that the role of ion channels in the macrophage biology has been relatively overlooked. In this review we provide a summary of ion channel research in macrophages. We begin by giving a narrative-based explanation of the membrane potential and its importance in cell biology. We then report on research implicating different ion channel families in macrophage functions. Finally, we highlight some areas of ion channel research in macrophages which need to be addressed, future possible developments in this field and therapeutic potential.

Pharmacol Res Perspect 2022; 10:e00982.

Abstract
Non-selective cation channels in urinary bladder smooth muscle (UBSM) are thought to mediate increases in cellular excitability and contractility. For transient receptor potential melastatin type-4 (TRPM4) channels, the evidence primarily relies on the inhibitor 9-phenanthrol, which exhibits pharmacological limitations. Recently, 4-chloro-2-[2-(2-chloro-phenoxy)-acetylamino]-benzoic acid (CBA) has been discovered as a novel TRPM4 channel blocker. We examined how, in comparison to 9-phenanthrol, CBA affects the excitability of freshly isolated guinea pig UBSM cells and the contractility of UBSM strips. Additionally, non-selective TRPM4 channel inhibitor flufenamic acid (FFA) and potentiator BTP2 (also known as YM-58483) were studied in UBSM cells. Unlike robust inhibition for 9-phenanthrol already known, CBA (up to 100 μM) displayed either no or a very weak reduction (<20%) in spontaneous phasic, 20 mM KCl-induced, and electrical field stimulated contractions. For 300 μM CBA, reductions were higher except for an increase in the frequency of KCl-induced contractions. In UBSM cells, examined under amphotericin B-perforated patch-clamp, CBA (30 μM) did not affect the membrane potential (I = 0) or voltage step-induced whole-cell cation currents, sensitive to 9-phenanthrol. The currents were not inhibited by FFA (100 μM), increased by BTP2 (10 μM), nor enhanced under a strongly depolarizing holding voltage of -16 or + 6 mV (vs. -74 mV). None of the three compounds affected the cell capacitance, unlike 9-phenanthrol. In summary, the novel inhibitor CBA and nonselective FFA did not mimic the inhibitory properties of 9-phenanthrol on UBSM function. These results suggest that TRPM4 channels, although expressed in UBSM, play a distinct role rather than direct regulation of excitability and contractility.

Abstract
Macrophage polarization plays a key role in inflammatory response. Various ion channels expressed in macrophages has been documented, but very little is known about their roles in macrophage polarization. We find that knockdown or blockade of Kir2.1 channel significantly inhibits M1 polarization, but promotes M2 polarization. LPS induced M1 polarization is also remarkably suppressed in high extracellular K+ solutions (70 mM K+), and this inhibition is partially abolished by adding Ca2+ in the culture medium. Calcium imaging shows that Ca2+ influx is dependent on the hyperpolarized membrane potential generated by Kir2.1 channel. The upregulation of p-CaMK II, p-ERK1/2, and p-NF-κB proteins in RAW264.7 macrophages stimulated with LPS are significantly reversed by blocking Kir2.1 channel or culturing the cells with 70 mM K+ medium. Furthermore, in vivo study shows that mice treated with Kir2.1 channel blocker are protected from LPS-induced peritonitis. In summary, our data reveal the essential role of Kir2.1 channel in regulating macrophage polarization via Ca2+ / CaMK II / ERK1/2 / NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
Trabecular meshwork (TM) cells are phagocytic cells that employ mechanotransduction to actively regulate intraocular pressure. Similar to macrophages, they express scavenger receptors and participate in antigen presentation within the immunosuppressive milieu of the anterior eye. Changes in pressure deform and compress the TM, altering their control of aqueous humor outflow but it is not known whether transducer activation shapes temporal signaling. The present study combines electrophysiology, histochemistry and functional imaging with gene silencing and heterologous expression to gain insight into Ca2+ signaling downstream from TRPV4 (Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4), a stretch-activated polymodal cation channel. Human TM cells respond to the TRPV4 agonist GSK1016790A with fluctuations in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and an increase in [Na+]i. [Ca2+]i oscillations coincided with monovalent cation current that was suppressed by BAPTA, Ruthenium Red and the TRPM4 (Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 4) channel inhibitor 9-phenanthrol. TM cells expressed TRPM4 mRNA, protein at the expected 130-150 kDa and showed punctate TRPM4 immunoreactivity at the membrane surface. Genetic silencing of TRPM4 antagonized TRPV4-evoked oscillatory signaling whereas TRPV4 and TRPM4 co-expression in HEK-293 cells reconstituted the oscillations. Membrane potential recordings suggested that TRPM4-dependent oscillations require release of Ca2+ from internal stores. 9-phenanthrol did not affect the outflow facility in mouse eyes and eyes from animals lacking TRPM4 had normal intraocular pressure. Collectively, our results show that TRPV4 activity initiates dynamic calcium signaling in TM cells by stimulating TRPM4 channels and intracellular Ca2+ release. It is possible that TRPV4-TRPM4 interactions downstream from the tensile and compressive impact of intraocular pressure contribute to homeostatic regulation and pathological remodeling within the conventional outflow pathway.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) is a unique member of the TRPM protein family and, similarly to TRPM5, is Ca2+ sensitive and permeable for monovalent but not divalent cations. It is widely expressed in many organs and is involved in several functions; it regulates membrane potential and Ca2+ homeostasis in both excitable and non-excitable cells. This part of the review discusses the currently available knowledge about the physiological and pathophysiological roles of TRPM4 in various tissues. These include the physiological functions of TRPM4 in the cells of the Langerhans islets of the pancreas, in various immune functions, in the regulation of vascular tone, in respiratory and other neuronal activities, in chemosensation, and in renal and cardiac physiology. TRPM4 contributes to pathological conditions such as overactive bladder, endothelial dysfunction, various types of malignant diseases and central nervous system conditions including stroke and injuries as well as in cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, hypertrophy, and ischemia-reperfusion injuries. TRPM4 claims more and more attention and is likely to be the topic of research in the future.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential (TRP) melastatin 4 (TRPM4) is a widely expressed Ca2+ -impermeable cation channel involved in modulating inflammatory and immune responses in mammals. However, the role of TRPM4 channel in fish immunity remains unclear. In this report, from a comparative immunological point of view, we identified and characterized a Trpm4 gene from Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) and analysed its potential role in regulating the fish inflammatory response. The Japanese flounder Trpm4 gene is expressed in a wide range of tissues and encodes a 1264-amino acid protein which expresses on the cell surface and shares several conserved domains with its mammalian counterparts. In vitro inflammatory challenge and in vivo bacterial infection experiments revealed that Japanese flounder Trpm4 expression was significantly modulated following different immune challenges, indicating the implication of Trpm4 in the fish immune response. Overexpression of TRPM4 significantly attenuated LPS- and poly(I:C)-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in Japanese flounder FG-9307 cells. In contrast, pharmacological inhibition of the endogenous TRPM4 channel activity in Japanese flounder head kidney macrophages resulted in increased pro-inflammatory cytokine expression following LPS and poly(I:C) stimulations. Taken together, these findings indicate that TRPM4 channels may play a conserved role in regulating inflammatory response(s) in fish.

Diazepam Impairs Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses and Ameliorates Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis. Front Immunol 2021; 12:682612.

Abstract
Currently there is increasing attention on the modulatory effects of benzodiazepines on the immune system. Here, we evaluate how Diazepam (DZ) affects both innate and adaptive immunity. We observed that treatment with DZ and Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on macrophages or dendritic cells (DCs) induced a defective secretion of IL-12, TNF-α, IL-6 and a lesser expression of classical activation markers as NO production and CD40 in comparison with LPS condition. More importantly, mice pre-treated with DZ and then challenged to LPS induced-septic shock showed reduced death. The DZ treatment shifted the LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine production of peritoneal cells (PCs) to an anti-inflammatory profile commanded by IL-10. In agreement with this, DZ treatment prevented LPS-induced DC ability to initiate allogeneic Th1 and Th17 responses in vitro when compared with LPS-matured DC. Since these inflammatory responses are the key in the development of the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), we treated EAE mice preventively with DZ. Mice that received DZ showed amelioration of clinical signs and immunological parameters of the disease. Additionally, DZ reduced the release of IFN-γ and IL-17 by splenocytes from untreated sick mice in vitro. For this reason, we decided to treat diseased mice therapeutically with DZ when they reached the clinical score of 1. Most importantly, this treatment ameliorated clinical signs, reduced the MOG-specific inflammatory cytokine production and prevented axonal damage. Altogether, these results indicate that DZ is a potent immunomodulator capable of controlling undesired innate and adaptive immune responses, both at the beginning of these responses and also once they have started.

Abstract
Piplartine (or Piperlongumine) is a natural alkaloid isolated from Piper longum L., which has been proposed to exhibit various biological properties such as anti-inflammatory effects; however, the effect of piplartine on sepsis has not been examined. This study was performed to examine the anti-inflammatory activities of piplartine in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo using murine J774A.1 macrophage cell line, peritoneal macrophages, bone marrow-derived macrophages and an animal sepsis model. The results demonstrated that piplartine suppresses iNOS and COX-2 expression, reduces PGE2, TNF-α and IL-6 production, decreases the phosphorylation of MAPKs and NF-κB and attenuates NF-κB activity by LPS-activated macrophages. Piplartine also inhibits IL-1β production and suppresses NLRP3 inflammasome activation by LPS/ATP- and LPS/nigericin-activated macrophages. Moreover, piplartine reduces the production of nitric oxide (NO) and TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β, decreases LPS-induced tissue damage, attenuates infiltration of inflammatory cells and enhances the survival rate. Collectively, these results demonstrate piplartine exhibits anti-inflammatory activities in LPS-induced inflammation and sepsis and suggest that piplartine might have benefits for sepsis treatment.

Abstract
Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction initiated by a dysregulated response to infection, with imbalanced inflammation and immune homeostasis. Macrophages play a pivotal role in sepsis. N-[1-(1-oxopropyl)-4-piperidinyl]-N’-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)-urea (TPPU) is an inhibitor of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), which can rapidly hydrolyze epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) to the bio-inactive dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids. TPPU was linked with the regulation of macrophages and inflammation. Here, we hypothesized that sEH inhibitor TPPU ameliorates cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis by regulating macrophage functions. Methods: A polymicrobial sepsis model induced by CLP was used in our study. C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups: sham+ phosphate buffer saline (PBS), sham+TPPU, CLP+PBS, CLP+TPPU. Mice were observed 48 h after surgery to assess the survival rate. For other histological examinations, mice were sacrificed 6 h after surgery. Macrophage cell line RAW264.7 was used for in vitro studies. Results: TPPU treatment, accompanied with increased EETs levels, markedly improved the survival of septic mice induced by CLP surgery, which was associated with alleviated organ damage and dysfunction triggered by systemic inflammatory response. Moreover, TPPU treatment significantly inhibited systemic inflammatory response via EETs-induced inactivation of mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling due to enhanced macrophage phagocytic ability and subsequently reduced bacterial proliferation and dissemination, and decreased inflammatory factors release. Conclusion: sEH inhibitor TPPU ameliorates cecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis by regulating macrophage functions, including improved phagocytosis and reduced inflammatory response. Our data indicate that sEH inhibition has potential therapeutic effects on polymicrobial-induced sepsis.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the changes in abomasum transcriptome and the associated microbial community structure in young calves with artificially dosed, adult rumen contents. Eight young bull calves were randomly dosed with freshly extracted rumen contents from an adult cow (high efficiency (HE), n = 4), or sterilized rumen content (Con, n = 4). The dosing was administered within 3 days of birth, then at 2, 4, and 6 weeks following the initial dosing. Abomasum tissues were collected immediately after sacrifice at 8 weeks of age. Five genera (Tannerella, Desulfovibrio, Deinococcus, Leptotrichia, and Eubacterium; p < 0.05) showed significant difference in abundance between the treatments. A total of 975 differentially expressed genes were identified (p < 0.05, fold-change > 1.5, mean read-counts > 5). Pathway analysis indicated that up-regulated genes were involved in immune system process and defense response to virus, while the down-regulated genes involved in ion transport, ATP biosynthetic process, and mitochondrial electron transport. Positive correlation (r > 0.7, p < 0.05) was observed between TRPM4 gene and Desulfovibrio, which was significantly higher in the HE group. TRPM4 had a reported role in the immune system process. In conclusion, the dosing of adult rumen contents to calves can alter not only the composition of active microorganisms in the abomasum but also the molecular mechanisms in the abomasum tissue, including reduced protease secretion and decreased hydrochloric acid secretion.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) is a Ca2+-activated nonselective monovalent cation channel belonging to the TRP channel superfamily. TRPM4 is widely expressed in various tissues and most abundantly expressed in the heart. TRPM4 plays a critical role in cardiac conduction. Patients carrying a gain-of-function or loss-of-function mutation of TRPM4 display impaired cardiac conduction. Knockout or over-expression of TRPM4 in mice recapitulates conduction defects in patients. Moreover, recent studies have indicated that TRPM4 plays a role in hypertrophy and heart failure. Whereas the role of TRPM4 mediated by cardiac myocytes has been well investigated, little is known about TRPM4 and its role in cardiac fibroblasts. Here we show that in human left ventricular fibroblasts, TRPM4 exhibits typical Ca2+-activation characteristics, linear current-voltage (I-V) relation, and monovalent permeability. TRPM4 currents recorded in fibroblasts from heart failure patients (HF) are more than 2-fold bigger than those from control individuals (CTL). The enhanced functional TRPM4 in HF is not resulted from changed channel properties, as TRPM4 currents from both HF and CTL fibroblasts demonstrate similar sensitivity to intracellular calcium activation and extracellular 9-phenanthrol (9-phen) blockade. Consistent with enhanced TRPM4 activity, the protein level of TRPM4 is about 2-fold higher in HF than that of CTL hearts. Moreover, TRPM4 current in CTL fibroblasts is increased after 24 hours of TGFβ1 treatment, implying that TRPM4 in vivo may be upregulated by fibrogenesis promotor TGFβ1. The upregulated TRPM4 in HF fibroblasts suggests that TRPM4 may play a role in cardiac fibrogenesis under various pathological conditions.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) is widely expressed in various organs and associated with cardiovascular and immune diseases. Lately, the interest in studies on TRPM4 in cancer has increased. Thus far, TRPM4 has been investigated in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, prostate, colorectal, liver, breast, urinary bladder, cervical, and endometrial cancer. In several types of cancer TRPM4 is overexpressed and contributes to cancer hallmark functions such as increased proliferation and migration and cell cycle shift. Hence, TRPM4 is a potential prognostic cancer marker and a promising anticancer drug target candidate. Currently, the underlying mechanism by which TRPM4 contributes to cancer hallmark functions is under investigation. TRPM4 is a Ca2+-activated monovalent cation channel, and its ion conductivity can decrease intracellular Ca2+ signaling. Furthermore, TRPM4 can interact with different partner proteins. However, the lack of potent and specific TRPM4 inhibitors has delayed the investigations of TRPM4. In this review, we summarize the potential mechanisms of action and discuss new small molecule TRPM4 inhibitors, as well as the TRPM4 antibody, M4P. Additionally, we provide an overview of TRPM4 in human cancer and discuss TRPM4 as a diagnostic marker and anticancer drug target.

Phagocytic activity of splenic macrophages is enhanced and accompanied by cytosolic alkalinization in TRPM7 kinase-dead mice. FEBS J 2021; 288:3585-3601.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) is a unique protein functioning as a cation channel as well as a serine/threonine kinase and is highly expressed in immune cells such as lymphocytes and macrophages. TRPM7 kinase-dead (KD) mouse model has been used to investigate the role of this protein in immune cells; these animals display moderate splenomegaly and ectopic hemopoiesis. The basal TRPM7 current magnitudes in peritoneal macrophages isolated from KD mice were higher; however, the maximum currents, achieved after cytoplasmic Mg2+ washout, were not different. In the present study, we investigated the consequences of TRPM7 kinase inactivation in splenic and peritoneal macrophages. We measured the basal phagocytic activity of splenic macrophages using fluorescent latex beads, pHrodo zymosan bioparticles, and opsonized red blood cells. KD macrophages phagocytized more efficiently and had slightly higher baseline calcium levels compared to WT cells. We found no obvious differences in store-operated Ca2+ entry between WT and KD macrophages. By contrast, the resting cytosolic pH in KD macrophages was significantly more alkaline than in WT. Pharmacological blockade of sodium hydrogen exchanger 1 (NHE1) reversed the cytosolic alkalinization and reduced phagocytosis in KD macrophages. Basal TRPM7 channel activity in KD macrophages was also reduced after NHE1 blockade. Cytosolic Mg2+ sensitivity of TRPM7 channels measured in peritoneal macrophages was similar in WT and KD mice. The higher basal TRPM7 channel activity in KD macrophages is likely due to alkalinization. Our results identify a novel role for TRPM7 kinase as a suppressor of basal phagocytosis and a regulator of cellular pH.

Abstract
Aging is an unstoppable process and begins shortly after birth. Each cell of the organism is affected by the irreversible process, not only with equal density but also at varying ages and with different speed. Therefore, aging can also be understood as an adaptation to a continually changing cellular environment. One of these very prominent changes in age affects Ca2+ signaling. Especially immune cells highly rely on Ca2+-dependent processes and a strictly regulated Ca2+ homeostasis. The intricate patterns of impaired immune cell function may represent a deficit or compensatory mechanisms. Besides, altered immune function through Ca2+ signaling can profoundly affect the development of age-related disease. This review attempts to summarize changes in Ca2+ signaling due to channels and receptors in T cells and beyond in the context of aging.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM) subfamily belongs to the TRP cation channels family. Since the first cloning of TRPM1 in 1989, tremendous progress has been made in identifying novel members of the TRPM subfamily and their functions. The TRPM subfamily is composed of eight members consisting of four six-transmembrane domain subunits, resulting in homomeric or heteromeric channels. From a structural point of view, based on the homology sequence of the coiled-coil in the C-terminus, the eight TRPM members are clustered into four groups: TRPM1/M3, M2/M8, M4/M5 and M6/M7. TRPM subfamily members have been involved in several physiological functions. However, they are also linked to diverse pathophysiological human processes. Alterations in the expression and function of TRPM subfamily ion channels might generate several human diseases including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative alterations, organ dysfunction, cancer and many other channelopathies. These effects position them as remarkable putative targets for novel diagnostic strategies, drug design and therapeutic approaches. Here, we review the current knowledge about the main characteristics of all members of the TRPM family, focusing on their actions in human diseases.

Abstract
We examined the expression profile of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). PBMCs were obtained from 41 ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, 34 Crohn's disease (CD) patients, and 30 normal subjects. mRNA levels of TRP channels were measured using the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and correlation tests with disease ranking, as well as laboratory parameters, were performed. Compared with controls, TRPV2 and TRPC1 mRNA expression was lower, while that of TRPM2, was higher in PBMCs of UC and CD patients. Moreover, TRPV3 mRNA expression was lower, while that of TRPV4 was higher in CD patients. TRPC6 mRNA expression was higher in patients with CD than in patients with UC. There was also a tendency for the expression of TRPV2 mRNA to be negatively correlated with disease activity in patients with UC and CD, while that of TRPM4 mRNA was negatively correlated with disease activity only in patients with UC. PBMCs from patients with IBD exhibited varying mRNA expression levels of TRP channel members, which may play an important role in the progression of IBD.

Abstract
The cornea is a valuable tissue for studying peripheral sensory nerve structure and regeneration due to its avascularity, transparency, and dense innervation. Somatosensory innervation of the cornea serves to identify changes in environmental stimuli at the ocular surface, thereby promoting barrier function to protect the eye against injury or infection. Due to regulatory demands to screen ocular safety of potential chemical exposure, a need remains to develop functional human tissue models to predict ocular damage and pain using in vitro-based systems to increase throughput and minimize animal use. In this review, we summarize the anatomical and functional roles of corneal innervation in propagation of sensory input, corneal neuropathies associated with pain, and the status of current in vivo and in vitro models. Emphasis is placed on tissue engineering approaches to study the human corneal pain response in vitro with integration of proper cell types, controlled microenvironment, and high-throughput readouts to predict pain induction. Further developments in this field will aid in defining molecular signatures to distinguish acute and chronic pain triggers based on the immune response and epithelial, stromal, and neuronal interactions that occur at the ocular surface that lead to functional outcomes in the brain depending on severity and persistence of the stimulus.

Abstract
We previously identified a nuclear variant of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), named nBMP2, that is translated from an alternative start codon. Decreased nuclear localization of nBMP2 in the nBmp2NLStm mouse model leads to muscular, neurological, and immune phenotypes-all of which are consistent with aberrant intracellular calcium (Ca2+) response. Ca2+ response in these mice, however, has yet to be measured directly. Because a prior study suggested impairment of macrophage function in nBmp2NLStm mutant mice, bone marrow derived (BMD) macrophages and splenic macrophages were isolated from wild type and nBmp2NLStm mutant mice. Immunocytochemistry revealed that nuclei of both BMD and splenic macrophages from wild type mice contain nBMP2, while the protein is decreased in nuclei of nBmp2NLStm mutant macrophages. Live-cell Ca2+ imaging and engulfment assays revealed that Ca2+ response and phagocytosis in response to bacterial supernatant are similar in BMD macrophages isolated from naïve (uninfected) nBmp2NLStm mutant mice and wild type mice, but are deficient in splenic macrophages isolated from mutant mice after secondary systemic infection with Staphylococcus aureus, suggesting progressive impairment as macrophages respond to infection. This direct evidence of impaired Ca2+ handling in nBMP2 mutant macrophages supports the hypothesis that nBMP2 plays a role in Ca2+ response.

Abstract
The recruitment of neutrophils to sites of inflammation, their battle against invading microorganisms through phagocytosis and the release of antimicrobial agents is a highly coordinated and tightly regulated process that involves the interplay of many different receptors, ion channels and signalling pathways. Changes in intracellular calcium levels, caused by cytosolic Ca2+ store depletion and the influx of extracellular Ca2+ via ion channels, play a critical role in synchronizing neutrophil activation and function. In this review, we provide an overview of how Ca2+ signalling is initiated in neutrophils and how changes in intracellular Ca2+ levels modulate neutrophil function.

Abstract
Macrophage plasticity is essential for innate immunity, but in-depth signaling mechanism(s) regulating their functional phenotypes are ill-defined. Here we report that interferon (IFN) γ priming of naive macrophages induces store-mediated Ca2+ entry and inhibition of Ca2+ entry impairs polarization to M1 inflammatory phenotype. In vitro and in vivo functional analyses revealed ORAI1 to be a primary contributor to basal Ca2+ influx in macrophages, whereas IFNγ-induced Ca2+ influx was mediated by TRPC1. Deficiency of TRPC1 displayed abrogated IFNγ-induced M1 inflammatory mediators in macrophages. In a preclinical model of peritonitis by Klebsiella pneumoniae infection, macrophages showed increased Ca2+ influx, which was TRPC1 dependent. Macrophages from infected TRPC1−/− mice showed inhibited expression of M1-associated signature molecules. Furthermore, in human patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome, the level of TRPC1 expression in circulating macrophages directly correlated with M1 inflammatory mediators. Overall, TRPC1-mediated Ca2+ influx is essential for the induction/shaping of macrophage polarization to M1 inflammatory phenotype. TRPC1 mediates sterile or infection-induced Ca2+ influx and M1 phenotype in macrophages ORAI1 mediates the basal Ca2+ influx in macrophages In patients with SIRS, the TRPC1 level correlates with M1 inflammatory mediators in macrophages

Abstract
Allergy and autoimmune diseases are characterised by a multifactorial pathogenic background. Several genes involved in the control of innate and adaptive immunity have been associated with diseases and variably combine with each other as well as with environmental factors and epigenetic processes to shape the characteristics of individual manifestations. Systemic or local perturbations in salt/water balance and in ion exchanges between the intra- and extracellular spaces or among tissues play a role. In this field, usually referred to as elementary immunology, novel evidence has been recently acquired on the role of members of the transient potential receptor (TRP) channel family in several cellular mechanisms of potential significance for the pathophysiology of the immune response. TRP canonical channel 6 (TRPC6) is emerging as a functional element for the control of calcium currents in immune-committed cells and target tissues. In fact, TRPC6 influences leukocytes’ tasks such as transendothelial migration, chemotaxis, phagocytosis and cytokine release. TRPC6 also modulates the sensitivity of immune cells to apoptosis and influences tissue susceptibility to ischemia-reperfusion injury and excitotoxicity. Here, we provide a view of the interactions between ion exchanges and inflammation with a focus on the pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases and potential future therapeutic implications.

"Immuno-Transient Receptor Potential Ion Channels": The Role in Monocyte- and Macrophage-Mediated Inflammatory Responses. Front Immunol 2018; 9:1273. [PMID: 29928281 PMCID: PMC5997787 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2018.01273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2018] [Accepted: 05/22/2018] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Monocytes and macrophages play important roles in health and disease. They have a central role in protecting the host, as they clear pathogens and modulate other immune cell functions through the production of regulatory molecules. Their functions include immune surveillance, bacterial killing, tissue remodeling and repair, clearance of cell debris and more. Macrophages can have beneficial and detrimental effects on the outcome of several diseases depending on the microenvironment and the activation state of cells. Over the past few years, there has been an increasing interest in the expression and functions of ion channels, in particular of transient receptor potential (TRP) channel family in immune cells. The 30 members of mammalian TRP channels are subdivided into TRPC, TRPV, TRPM, TRPML, TRPP, and TRPA superfamily, and several members of TRP subfamily have been found to be functionally expressed in monocytes and macrophages. TRP are cation-selective channels that are weakly voltage-sensitive and diversely gated by temperature, mechanical force, electrophiles, ligands, and internal cues, such as membrane composition and pH, contributing to immune and inflammatory responses. The TRP channels play major roles in controlling several monocyte and macrophage functions such as phagocytosis, production of chemokines and cytokines, cell survival, polarization and so forth. In addition, they can also be potential therapeutic targets in a variety of inflammatory diseases. Thus, the goal of this review is to describe the role of TRP channels in the control of monocyte–macrophage functions in inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases.

Abstract
Ion channels and transporters move ions across membrane barriers and are essential for a host of cell functions in many organs. They conduct K+, Na+ and Cl-, which are essential for regulating the membrane potential, H+ to control intracellular and extracellular pH and divalent cations such as Ca2+, Mg2+ and Zn2+, which function as second messengers and cofactors for many proteins. Inherited channelopathies due to mutations in ion channels or their accessory proteins cause a variety of diseases in the nervous, cardiovascular and other tissues, but channelopathies that affect immune function are not as well studied. Mutations in ORAI1 and STIM1 genes that encode the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel in immune cells, the Mg2+ transporter MAGT1 and the Cl- channel LRRC8A all cause immunodeficiency with increased susceptibility to infection. Mutations in the Zn2+ transporters SLC39A4 (ZIP4) and SLC30A2 (ZnT2) result in nutritional Zn2+ deficiency and immune dysfunction. These channels, however, only represent a fraction of ion channels that regulate immunity as demonstrated by immune dysregulation in channel knockout mice. The immune system itself can cause acquired channelopathies that are associated with a variety of diseases of nervous, cardiovascular and endocrine systems resulting from autoantibodies binding to ion channels. These autoantibodies highlight the therapeutic potential of functional anti-ion channel antibodies that are being developed for the treatment of autoimmune, inflammatory and other diseases.

Neutrophil extracellular traps promote macrophage pyroptosis in sepsis. Cell Death Dis 2018; 9:597.

Abstract
In response to infection, polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) are recruited in the infectious sites, and employ three major strategies to fight against the microbes including phagocytosis, degranulation, and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). NETs are a meshwork of chromatin fibers mixed with granule-derived antimicrobial peptides and enzymes, which trap and kill the bacteria extracellularly. In this study, by using a mouse sepsis model, we identified a novel mechanism by which NETs induce macrophage (Mϕ) pyroptosis, a caspase-1-dependent regulated cell death. We show that NET-derived HMGB1, acting through RAGE and dynamin-dependent signaling, triggers an intra-Mϕ cascade of molecular events including cathepsin B (CatB) release from the ruptured lysosomes, followed by pyroptosome formation and caspase-1 activation, and subsequent Mϕ pyroptosis. The study further demonstrates that Mϕ pyroptosis augments inflammatory responses following sepsis. These findings shed light on the proinflammatory role of NETs in mediating PMN–Mϕ interaction, which therefore influences the progress of inflammation following infection.

Abstract
Baicalein (3,3′,4′,5,6-pentahydroxyflavone) is a well-known antioxidant found in many plants, such as in the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis. In this study, we evaluate the inhibitory effect of baicalein on the inflammatory cascade in RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages induced by viral-like material. Experimental assays used in this study included Griess reagent assay for nitric oxide (NO) production, Fluo-4 assay for intracellular calcium release, multiplex cytokine assay, and quantitative real time RT-PCR assay. To induce inflammation, RAW 264.7 cells were treated with polyinosinic–polycytidylic acid (poly I:C), a synthetic analog of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). Baicalein at concentrations up to 100 μM significantly inhibited the production of NO, IL-1α, IL-6, G-CSF, GM-CSF, VEGF, MCP-1, IP-10, LIX, and RANTES as well as calcium release in RAW 264.7 cells induced by poly I:C (50 µg/mL) (all p < 0.05). Baicalein at concentrations up to 50 μM also significantly inhibited mRNA expression of STAT1, STAT3, CHOP, and Fas in poly I:C-induced RAW 264.7 cells (p < 0.05). In conclusion, baicalein has anti-inflammatory effect in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-induced macrophages by inhibiting NO, cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors via the endoplasmic reticulum stress–CHOP/STAT pathway.

Abstract
Proteinase 3 (PR3) is a myeloid serine protease expressed in neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages. PR3 has a number of well-characterized proinflammatory functions, including cleaving and activating chemokines and controlling cell survival and proliferation. When presented on the surface of apoptotic neutrophils, PR3 can disrupt the normal anti-inflammatory reprogramming of macrophages following the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. To better understand the function of PR3 in vivo, we generated a human PR3 transgenic mouse (hPR3Tg). During zymosan-induced peritonitis, hPR3Tg displayed an increased accumulation of neutrophils within the peritoneal cavity compared with wild-type control mice, with no difference in the recruitment of macrophages or B or T lymphocytes. Mice were also subjected to cecum ligation and puncture, a model used to induce peritoneal inflammation through infection. hPR3Tg displayed decreased survival rates in acute sepsis, associated with increased neutrophil extravasation. The decreased survival and increased neutrophil accumulation were associated with the cleavage of annexin A1, a powerful anti-inflammatory protein known to facilitate the resolution of inflammation. Additionally, neutrophils from hPR3Tg displayed enhanced survival during apoptosis compared with controls, and this may also contribute to the increased accumulation observed during the later stages of inflammation. Taken together, our data suggest that human PR3 plays a proinflammatory role during acute inflammatory responses by affecting neutrophil accumulation, survival, and the resolution of inflammation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Investigate the role of the transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) channel in rat dental pulp stem cell (DPSC) proliferation and survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS Immunofluorescence and FACS analysis were used to detect the stem cell marker CD90. Alizarin Red S and Oil Red O staining were used to identify osteoblast and adipocyte differentiation, respectively. To characterize TRPM4, patch-clamp recordings were obtained from single cells in the whole-cell configuration mode. The significance of TRPM4 for proliferation and survival was examined with 9-phenanthrol, a TRPM4 inhibitor during a 96-hour period of culture. Real-time Ca2+ imaging analysis with Fura-2AM was used to investigate the impact of TRPM4 on intracellular Ca2+ signals. RESULTS DPSCs were CD90-positive and differentiated into osteoblasts. Patch-clamp recordings revealed currents typical of TRPM4 that were Ca2+ -activated, voltage-dependent and Na+ -conducting. Inhibition of TRPM4 resulted in a significant reduction in the cell population after a 96-hr period of culture and transformed the biphasic pattern of intracellular Ca2+ signalling into sustained oscillations. CONCLUSIONS Rat DPSCs have stem cell characteristics and functional TRPM4 channels that are required for proliferation and survival. These data suggest that the shape and frequency of intracellular Ca2+ signals may mediate stem cell proliferation and survival.

Abstract
The adaptive immune response is orchestrated by T helper cells and their function is dependent upon interactions between the T cell receptor (TCR), peptide MHC (pMHC) and co-receptors. TCR-pMHC interactions initiate calcium signaling cascades which determine T cell activation, survival, proliferation and differentiation. CD5 is a co-receptor that plays an important role in regulating T cell signaling and fate during thymocyte education. CD5 surface expression on mature single positive thymocytes correlates with the TCR signal strength for positive selecting self-ligands. CD5 also plays a role in T cell function after thymic development is complete. Peripheral T cells with higher CD5 expression respond better to foreign antigen than those with lower CD5 expression and CD5-high T cells are enriched in memory populations. In our study, we examined the role of CD5 expression and calcium signaling in the primary response of T cells using two Listeria monocytogenes specific T helper cells (LLO118 and LLO56). These T cells recognize the same immunodominant epitope (LLO190-205) of L. monocytogenes and have divergent primary and secondary responses and different levels of CD5 expression. We found that each T cell has unique calcium mobilization in response to in vitro stimulation with LLO190-205 and that CD5 expression levels in these cells changed over time following stimulation. LLO56 naïve T helper cells, which expresses higher levels of CD5, have higher calcium mobilization than naïve LLO118 T cells. Three days after in vitro stimulation, LLO118 T cells had more robust calcium mobilization than LLO56 and there were no differences in calcium mobilization 8 days after in vitro stimulation. To further evaluate the role of CD5, we measured calcium signaling in CD5 knockout LLO118 and LLO56 T cells at these three time points and found that CD5 plays a significant role in promoting the calcium signaling of naïve CD5-high LLO56 T cells.

Abstract
The immune system protects our body against foreign pathogens. However, if it overshoots or turns against itself, pro-inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, or diabetes develop. Ions, the most basic signaling molecules, shape intracellular signaling cascades resulting in immune cell activation and subsequent immune responses. Mutations in ion channels required for calcium signaling result in human immunodeficiencies and highlight those ion channels as valued targets for therapies against pro-inflammatory diseases. Signaling pathways regulated by melastatin-like transient receptor potential (TRPM) cation channels also play crucial roles in calcium signaling and leukocyte physiology, affecting phagocytosis, degranulation, chemokine and cytokine expression, chemotaxis and invasion, as well as lymphocyte development and proliferation. Therefore, this review discusses their regulation, possible interactions and whether they can be exploited as targets for therapeutic approaches to pro-inflammatory diseases.
