Capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE) through store-operated Ca2+ (SOC) channels plays an important role in returning Ca2+ to the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and regulating cytosolic free Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]cyt). A rise in [Ca2+]cyt and sufficient Ca2+ in the SR are required for pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) proliferation. We tested the hypothesis that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-mediated PASMC growth involves upregulation of c-Jun and TRPC6, a transient receptor potential cation channel. In rat PASMC, PDGF (10 ng/ml for 0.5–48 h) phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT3), increased mRNA and protein levels of c-Jun, and stimulated cell proliferation. PDGF treatment also upregulated TRPC6 expression and augmented CCE, elicited by passive depletion of Ca2+ from the SR using cyclopiazonic acid. Furthermore, overexpression of c-Jun stimulated TRPC6 expression and CCE amplitude in PASMC. Downregulation of TRPC6 using an antisense oligonucleotide specifically for human TRPC6 decreased CCE and inhibited PDGF-mediated PASMC proliferation. These results suggest that PDGF-mediated PASMC proliferation is associated with c-Jun/STAT3-induced upregulation of TRPC6 expression. The resultant increase in CCE raises [Ca2+]cyt, facilitates return of Ca2+ to the SR, and enhances PASMC growth.

Abstract Objective: Transient receptor potential (TRP) melastatin 7 (TRPM7) cation channel, a dual-function ion channel/protein kinase, regulates vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) Mg2+ homeostasis and mitogenic signaling. Mechanisms regulating vascular growth effects of TRPM7 are unclear, but epidermal growth factor (EGF) may be important because it is a magnesiotropic hormone involved in cellular Mg2+ regulation and VSMC proliferation. Here we sought to determine whether TRPM7 is a downstream target of EGF in VSMCs and if EGF receptor (EGFR) through TRPM7 influences VSMC function. Approach and results: Studies were performed in primary culture VSMCs from rats and humans and vascular tissue from mice deficient in TRPM7 (TRPM7+/Δkinase and TRPM7R/R). EGF increased expression and phosphorylation of TRPM7 and stimulated Mg2+ influx in VSMCs, responses that were attenuated by gefitinib (EGFR inhibitor) and NS8593 (TRPM7 inhibitor). Co-immunoprecipitation (IP) studies, proximity ligation assay (PLA) and live-cell imaging demonstrated interaction of EGFR and TRPM7, which was enhanced by EGF. PP2 (c-Src inhibitor) decreased EGF-induced TRPM7 activation and prevented EGFR–TRPM7 association. EGF-stimulated migration and proliferation of VSMCs were inhibited by gefitinib, PP2, NS8593 and PD98059 (ERK1/2 inhibitor). Phosphorylation of EGFR and ERK1/2 was reduced in VSMCs from TRPM7+/Δkinase mice, which exhibited reduced aortic wall thickness and decreased expression of PCNA and Notch 3, findings recapitulated in TRPM7R/R mice. Conclusions: We show that EGFR directly interacts with TRPM7 through c-Src-dependent processes. Functionally these phenomena regulate [Mg2+]i homeostasis, ERK1/2 signaling and VSMC function. Our findings define a novel signaling cascade linking EGF/EGFR and TRPM7, important in vascular homeostasis.
