TRPV5 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 5) is a unique calcium-selective TRP channel essential for calcium homeostasis. Unlike other TRPV channels, TRPV5 and its close homolog, TRPV6, do not exhibit thermosensitivity or ligand-dependent activation but are constitutively open at physiological membrane potentials and modulated by calmodulin (CaM) in a calcium-dependent manner. Here we report high-resolution electron cryomicroscopy structures of truncated and full-length TRPV5 in lipid nanodiscs, as well as of a TRPV5 W583A mutant and TRPV5 in complex with CaM. These structures highlight the mechanism of calcium regulation and reveal a flexible stoichiometry of CaM binding to TRPV5.

AbstractTRPV5 (transient receptor potential vanilloid) is a unique calcium-selective TRP channel that is essential for calcium homeostasis. TRPV5 and its close homologue TRPV6 do not exhibit thermosensitivity or ligand-dependent activation, unlike other TRPV channels, but are constitutively opened at physiological membrane potentials. Here, we report high resolution electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of truncated and full length TRPV5 in lipid nanodisc, as well as a TRPV5 W583A mutant structure and a complex structure of TRPV5 with calmodulin (CaM). These structures highlight and explain functional differences between the thermosensitive and calcium-selective TRPV channels. An extended S1-S2 linker folds on top of the channel that might shield it from modulation by extracellular factors. Resident lipid densities in the homologous vanilloid pocket are different from those previously found in TRPV1, supporting a comparatively more rigid architecture of TRPV5. A ring of tryptophan residues (W583) at the bottom of the pore coordinates a density and mutation of W583 resultes in opening of the lower gate. Moreover, we provide structural insight into the calcium-dependent channel inactivation and propose a flexible stoichiometry for TRPV5 and CaM binding.

Presbyopia is characterized by a decline in the ability to accommodate the lens. The most commonly accepted theory for the onset of presbyopia is an age-related increase in the stiffness of the lens. However, the cause of lens sclerosis remains unclear. With age, water microcirculation in the lens could change because of an increase in intracellular pressure. In the lens, the intracellular pressure is controlled by the Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid (TRPV) 1 and TRPV4 feedback pathways. In this study, we tried to elucidate that administration of α-glucosyl-hesperidin (G-Hsd), previously reported to prevent nuclear cataract formation, affects lens elasticity and the distribution of TRPV channels and Aquaporin (AQP) channels to meet the requirement of intracellular pressure. As a result, the mouse control lens was significantly toughened compared to both the 1% and 2% G-Hsd mouse lens treatments. The anti-oxidant levels in the lens and plasma decreased with age; however, this decrease could be nullified with either 1% or 2% G-Hsd treatment in a concentration- and exposure time-dependent manner. Moreover, G-Hsd treatment affected the TRPV4 distribution, but not TRPV1, AQP0, and AQP5, in the peripheral area and could maintain intracellular pressure. These findings suggest that G-Hsd has great potential as a compound to prevent presbyopia and/or cataract formation.

The Brain

The gliovascular unit (GVU) is composed of the brain microvascular endothelial cells forming blood–brain barrier and the neighboring surrounding “mural” cells (e.g., pericytes) and astrocytes. Modulation of the GVU/BBB features could be observed in a variety of vascular, immunologic, neuro-psychiatric diseases, and cancers, which can disrupt the brain homeostasis. Ca2+ dynamics have been regarded as a major factor in determining BBB/GVU properties, and previous studies have demonstrated the role of transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) channels in modulating Ca2+ and BBB/GVU properties. The physiological role of thermosensitive TRPV channels in the BBB/GVU, as well as their possible therapeutic potential as targets in treating brain diseases via preserving the BBB are reviewed. TRPV2 and TRPV4 are the most abundant isoforms in the human BBB, and TRPV2 was evidenced to play a main role in regulating human BBB integrity. Interspecies differences in TRPV2 and TRPV4 BBB expression complicate further preclinical validation. More studies are still needed to better establish the physiopathological TRPV roles such as in astrocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, and pericytes. The effect of the chronic TRPV modulation should also deserve further studies to evaluate their benefit and innocuity in vivo.

We previously demonstrated that endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF)-mediated dilations in cerebral arteries are significantly reduced by inhibitors of PLA2. In this study we examined possible mechanisms by which PLA2 regulates endothelium-dependent dilation, specifically whether PLA2 is involved in endothelial Ca2+ regulation through stimulation of TRPV4 channels. Studies were carried out with middle cerebral arteries (MCA) or freshly isolated MCA endothelial cells (EC) of male Long-Evans rats. Nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) and indomethacin were present throughout. In pressurized MCA, luminally delivered UTP produced increased EC intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and MCA dilation. Incubation with PACOCF3, a PLA2 inhibitor, significantly reduced both EC [Ca2+]i and dilation responses to UTP. EC [Ca2+]i was also partially reduced by a transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) channel blocker, ruthenium red. Manganese quenching experiments demonstrated Ca2+ influx across the luminal and abluminal face of the endothelium in response to UTP. Interestingly, PLA2-sensitive Ca2+ influx occurred primarily across the abluminal face. Luminal application of arachidonic acid, the primary product of PLA2 and a demonstrated activator of certain TRPV channels, increased both EC [Ca2+]i and MCA diameter. TRPV4 mRNA and protein was demonstrated in the endothelium by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence, respectively. Finally, application of 4α-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (4αPDD), a TRPV4 channel activator, produced an increase in EC [Ca2+]i that was significantly reduced in the presence of ruthenium red. We conclude that PLA2 is involved in EC Ca2+ regulation through its regulation of TRPV4 channels. Furthermore, the PLA2-sensitive component of Ca2+ influx may be polarized to the abluminal face of the endothelium.

G-protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a ubiquitously expressed family of receptor proteins that regulate many physiological functions and other proteins. They act through two dissociable signaling pathways: the exchange of GDP to GTP by linked G-proteins and the recruitment of β-arrestins. GPCRs modulate several members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel family of nonselective cation channels. How TRP channels reciprocally regulate GPCR signaling is less well-explored. Here, using an array of biochemical approaches, including immunoprecipitation and fluorescence, calcium imaging, phosphate radiolabeling, and a β-arrestin–dependent luciferase assay, we characterize a GPCR–TRP channel pair, angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1R), and transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4), in primary murine choroid plexus epithelial cells and immortalized cell lines. We found that AT1R and TRPV4 are binding partners and that activation of AT1R by angiotensin II (ANGII) elicits β-arrestin–dependent inhibition and internalization of TRPV4. Activating TRPV4 with endogenous and synthetic agonists inhibited angiotensin II–mediated G-protein–associated second messenger accumulation, AT1R receptor phosphorylation, and β-arrestin recruitment. We also noted that TRPV4 inhibits AT1R phosphorylation by activating the calcium-activated phosphatase calcineurin in a Ca2+/calmodulin–dependent manner, preventing β-arrestin recruitment and receptor internalization. These findings suggest that when TRP channels and GPCRs are co-expressed in the same tissues, many of these channels can inhibit GPCR desensitization.

Transient receptor potential (TRP) melastatin 4 (TRPM4) is a widely expressed cation channel associated with a variety of cardiovascular disorders. TRPM4 is activated by increased intracellular calcium in a voltage-dependent manner but, unlike many other TRP channels, is permeable to monovalent cations only. Here we present two structures of full-length human TRPM4 embedded in lipid nanodiscs at ~3-angstrom resolution, as determined by single-particle cryo–electron microscopy. These structures, with and without calcium bound, reveal a general architecture for this major subfamily of TRP channels and a well-defined calcium-binding site within the intracellular side of the S1-S4 domain. The structures correspond to two distinct closed states. Calcium binding induces conformational changes that likely prime the channel for voltage-dependent opening.

TRPV2 is a member of transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) family. As a Ca 2+ channel, it can detect various stimuli such as noxious heat (>52°C), membrane stretching, as well as a number of exogenous chemicals, including probenecid, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate, and lysophospholipids. TRPV2 has been found in many tissue types, including neuron and kidney, but the function of TRPV2 in the heart is poorly understood. Here we show TRPV2 is involved in the Ca 2+ cycling process and then regulates the function of the cardiomyocyte. We identified the mRNA expression of TRPV2 in the cardiac tissues of mice using real-time PCR. By performing echocardiography we found that administration of probenecid, a selective TRPV2 agonist, increased cardiac ejection fraction in mice. This positive inotropic effect of probenecid was also shown in Langendorff perfused mice hearts as increased peak +dP/dt. In isolated ventricular myocytes, we found that probenecid significantly increased myocyte fractional shortening in a dose-dependent manner, which was fully blocked by ruthenium red, a non-selective TRPV2 blocker. We also performed fluorescent studies to examine myocyte Ca 2+ cycling. We found that probenecid significantly increased Ca 2+ transient and resting-state Ca 2+ sparks and this effect was eliminated by ruthenium red. When Ca 2+ storage in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was depleted with caffeine, and SR Ca 2+ reuptake was blocked by thapsigargin at the same time, probenecid did not show any effects in either Ca 2+ transient or Ca 2+ sparks. Our patch clamp experiments indicate that probenecid treatment does not trigger any significant transmembrane Ca 2+ influx. These results point to the important role of TRPV2 in regulating SR Ca 2+ release. In conclusion, TRPV2 activation may contribute to increased SR Ca 2+ release, leading to the enhancement of myocyte contractility. Thus, TRPV2 plays a potentially important role in controlling the cellular function of heart.

Transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) 4 is a nonselective cation channel expressed in sensory neurons such as those in the dorsal root and trigeminal ganglia, kidney, and inner ear. TRPV4 is activated by mechanical stress, heat, low osmotic pressure, low pH, and phorbol derivatives such as 4α-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (4α-PDD). We investigated the expression of TRPV4 in rat vestibular ganglion (VG) neurons. The TRPV4 gene was successfully amplified from VG neuron mRNA using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Furthermore, immunoblotting showed positive expression of TRPV4 protein in VG neurons. Immunohistochemistry indicated that TRPV4 was localized predominantly on the plasma membrane of VG neurons. Calcium (Ca2+) imaging of VG neurons showed that 4α-PDD and/or hypotonic stimuli caused an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) that was almost completely inhibited by ruthenium red, a selective antagonist of TRPV channels. Interestingly, a [Ca2+]i increase was evoked by both hypotonic stimuli and 4α-PDD in approximately 38% of VG neurons. These data indicate that TRPV4 is functionally expressed in VG neurons as an ion channel and that TRPV4 likely participates in VG neurons for vestibular neurotransmission as an osmoreceptor and/or mechanoreceptor.
