TNF-α-NF-κB signaling plays a central role in inflammation, apoptosis, and neoplasia. One major consequence of this signaling in the gut is increased production of prostaglandin E2(PGE2) via cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) induction in myofibroblasts, which has been reported to be dependent on Ca2+. In this study, we explored a potential role of canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) proteins in this Ca2+-mediated signaling using a human colonic myofibroblast cell line CCD-18Co. In CCD-18Co cell, treatment with TNF-α greatly enhanced Ca2+influx induced by store depletion along with increased cell-surface expression of TRPC1 protein (but not of the other TRPC isoforms) and induction of a Gd3+-sensitive nonselective cationic conductance. Selective inhibition of TRPC1 expression by small interfering RNA (siRNA) or functionally effective TRPC1 antibody targeting the near-pore region of TRPC1 (T1E3) antagonized the enhancement of store-dependent Ca2+influx by TNF-α, whereas potentiated TNF-α induced PGE2production. Overexpression of TRPC1 in CCD-18Co produced opposite consequences. Inhibitors of NF-κB (curcumin, SN-50) attenuated TNF-α-induced enhancement of TRPC1 expression, store-dependent Ca2+influx, and COX-2-dependent PGE2production. In contrast, inhibition of calcineurin-nuclear factor of activated T-cell proteins (NFAT) signaling by FK506 or NFAT Activation Inhibitor III enhanced the PGE2production without affecting TRPC1 expression and the Ca2+influx. Finally, the suppression of store-dependent Ca2+influx by T1E3 antibody or siRNA knockdown significantly facilitated TNF-α-induced NF-κB nuclear translocation. In aggregate, these results strongly suggest that, in colonic myofibroblasts, NF-κB and NFAT serve as important positive and negative transcriptional regulators of TNF-α-induced COX-2-dependent PGE2production, respectively, at the downstream of TRPC1-associated Ca2+influx.

ABSTRACT TRPV5 and TRPV6 are the most Ca2+-selective members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of cation channels and play a pivotal role in the maintenance of Ca2+ balance in the body. However, little is known about the mechanisms controlling the plasma membrane abundance of these channels to regulate epithelial Ca2+ transport. In this study, we demonstrated the direct and specific interaction of GDP-bound Rab11a with TRPV5 and TRPV6. Rab11a colocalized with TRPV5 and TRPV6 in vesicular structures underlying the apical plasma membrane of Ca2+-transporting epithelial cells. This GTPase recognized a conserved stretch in the carboxyl terminus of TRPV5 that is essential for channel trafficking. Furthermore, coexpression of GDP-locked Rab11a with TRPV5 or TRPV6 resulted in significantly decreased Ca2+ uptake, caused by diminished channel cell surface expression. Together, our data demonstrated the important role of Rab11a in the trafficking of TRPV5 and TRPV6. Rab11a exerts this function in a novel fashion, since it operates via direct cargo interaction while in the GDP-bound configuration.

Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) has been reported to influence neuroinflammation and lymphocyte function. We analysed the immune phenotype and activation characteristics of TRPA1-deficient mice (knockout—KO) generated by targeted deletion of the pore-loop domain of the ion channel. We compared TRPA1 mRNA and protein expression in monocyte and lymphocyte subpopulations isolated from primary and secondary lymphatic organs of wild type (WT) and KO mice. qRT-PCR and flow cytometric studies indicated a higher level of TRPA1 in monocytes than in lymphocytes, but both were orders of magnitude lower than in sensory neurons. We found lower CD4+/CD8+ thymocyte ratios, diminished CD4/CD8 rates, and B cell numbers in the KO mice. Early activation marker CD69 was lower in CD4+ T cells of KO, while the level of CD8+/CD25+ cells was higher. In vitro TcR-mediated activation did not result in significant differences in CD69 level between WT and KO splenocytes, but lower cytokine (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-17A, IL-22, and RANTES) secretion was observed in KO splenocytes. Basal intracellular Ca2+ level and TcR-induced Ca2+ signal in T lymphocytes did not differ significantly, but interestingly, imiquimod-induced Ca2+ level in KO thymocytes was higher. Our results support the role of TRPA1 in the regulation of activation, cytokine production, and T and B lymphocytes composition in mice.

Mechanical trauma, such as that induced by motor vehicle crashes, represents a major medical and economic problem in the world. Identifying the mechanisms responsible for post-traumatic secondary myocardial injury is critical in order to reduce overall mortality and improve quality of life after trauma. We have previously demonstrated that mechanical trauma-induced overproduction of TNF-α plays a causative role in cardiomyocyte apoptosis via oxidative/nitrative stress. Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is a Ca 2+ permeable non-selective cation channel activated by oxidative stress, expressed in the cardiomyocytes. The present study attempted to identify whether TRPM2 is involved in TNF-α-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Cardiomyocytes were isolated from adult male Sprague Dawley rats and cultured with TNF-α (10 ng/ml) for 12h. RT-PCR and semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry were used to quantify TRPM2 mRNA and protein levels respectively. Significant increases in TRPM2 mRNA and protein expression were observed in TNF-α-treated cardiomyocytes, suggesting that TRPM2 may contribute to TNF-α-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. To identify the effect of TRPM2 on TNF-α-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis, cardiomyocytes were cultured with TNF-α or TNF-α + TRPM2 inhibitor (flufenamic acid (FFA) 100uM or clotrimazole 30uM), respectively. Exposure of cardiomyocytes to TNF-α for 12h induced significant apoptosis as determined by caspase-3 activation (1.7-fold increase vs. control, P < 0.01). In contrast, TNF-α-induced caspase-3 activity increases were significantly depressed by FFA and clotrimazole, respectively (P < 0.05). To further confirm the effect of TRPM2 on TNF-α-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis, we tested the effects of TRPM2-specific small interfering RNA (siRNA). As a result, impressively, TNF-α-induced increases of caspase-3 activity and lysate nucleosomes were significantly reduced in TRPM2-specific siRNA-treated cardiomyocytes (P < 0.01). These results indicate that TRPM2 plays an important role in TNF-α-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. We propose functional inhibition of TRPM2 channels as a new therapeutic strategy for treating mechanical trauma-induced secondary myocardial injury.

Canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels were identified as key players in maladaptive remodeling, with nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) transcription factors serving as downstream targets of TRPC-triggered Ca2+ entry in these pathological processes. Strikingly, the reconstitution of TRPC-NFAT signaling by heterologous expression yielded controversial results. Specifically, nuclear translocation of NFAT1 was found barely responsive to recombinant TRPC3, presumably based on the requirement of certain spatiotemporal signaling features. Here, we report efficient control of NFAT1 nuclear translocation in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells by light, using a new photochromic TRPC benzimidazole activator (OptoBI-1) and a TRPC3 mutant with modified activator sensitivity. NFAT1 nuclear translocation was measured along with an all-optical protocol to record local and global Ca2+ pattern generated during light-mediated activation/deactivation cycling of TRPC3. Our results unveil the ability of wild-type TRPC3 to produce constitutive NFAT nuclear translocation. Moreover, we demonstrate that TRPC3 mutant that lacks basal activity enables spatiotemporally precise control over NFAT1 activity by photopharmacology. Our results suggest tight linkage between TRPC3 activity and NFAT1 nuclear translocation based on global cellular Ca2+ signals.

The effect of emodin on complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA)-induced inflammatory pain in rats and its potential molecular mechanism was investigated. For this, a rat model of inflammatory pain induced by CFA was established and rats were treated with emodin by intraperitoneal injection. The pain threshold was evaluated by the von Frey, thermo hyperalgesia, and cold plate tests. The mRNA expression of transient receptor potential channel ankyrin type-1 ( Trpa1) and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 ( Trpv1) was detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and the level of inflammatory cytokines was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The mechanical and thermal pain thresholds of CFA-treated rats were significantly lower than those of the control rats, while the paw withdrawal responses in response to cold stimulation were higher than that of the control group. Emodin treatment significantly improved CFA-induced hyperalgesia. Further results showed that emodin inhibits the upregulation of Trpa1 and Trpv1 mRNA expression in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) of rats with inflammatory pain compared with the control group. Emodin also significantly reduced the levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in the serum of rats with inflammatory pain. Thus, emodin may inhibit hyperalgesia induced by inflammatory stimulation by downregulating the mRNA expression of Trpa1 and Trpv1 in DRG neurons and reducing the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6.

Canonical transient receptor potential-6 (TRPC6) channels have been implicated in the pathophysiology of glomerular diseases. TRPC6 channels are typically activated by diacylglycerol (DAG) during PLC-dependent transduction cascades. TRPC6 channels can also be activated by reactive oxygen species (ROS). We previously showed that podocin is required for DAG analogs to produce robust activation of TRPC6 channels in podocytes. Here we show that endogenous TRPC6 channels in immortalized podocytes reciprocally coimmunoprecipitate with the catalytic subunit of the NADPH oxidase NOX2 (gp91phox). The NOX2-TRPC6 interaction was not detected in cells stably expressing a short hairpin RNA targeting podocin, although NOX2 and TRPC6 were present at normal levels. Application of a membrane-permeable DAG analog [1-oleoyl-2-acetyl- sn-glycerol (OAG)] increased generation of ROS in podocytes, but this effect was not detected in podocin knockdown cells. OAG also increased steady-state surface expression of the NOX2 regulatory subunit p47phox. In whole cell recordings, TRPC6 activation by OAG was reduced in podocytes pretreated with the NOX2 inhibitor apocynin, by the pan-NOX inhibitor diphenylene iodonium, and by tempol, a ROS quencher. Cholesterol depletion and disruption of lipid rafts by methyl-β-cyclodextrin reduced activation of podocyte TRPC6 channels by OAG and also eliminated the NOX2-TRPC6 interaction as assessed by coimmunoprecipitation. These data suggest that active NOX2 assembles with TRPC6 at podocin-organized sterol-rich raft domains and becomes catalytically active in response to DAG. The localized production of ROS contributes to TRPC6 activation by chemical stimuli such as DAG. Podocin appears to be necessary for assembly of the NOX2-TRPC6 complex in lipid rafts.

The plasmas of diabetic or uremic patients and of those receiving peritoneal dialysis treatment have increased levels of the glucose-derived dicarbonyl metabolites like methylglyoxal (MGO), glyoxal (GO), and 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG). The elevated dicarbonyl levels can contribute to the development of painful neuropathies. Here, we used stimulated immunoreactive Calcitonin Gene–Related Peptide (iCGRP) release as a measure of nociceptor activation, and we found that each dicarbonyl metabolite induces a concentration-, TRPA1-, and Ca2+-dependent iCGRP release. MGO, GO, and 3-DG were about equally potent in the millimolar range. We hypothesized that another dicarbonyl, 3,4-dideoxyglucosone-3-ene (3,4-DGE), which is present in peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions after heat sterilization, activates nociceptors. We also showed that at body temperatures 3,4-DGE is formed from 3-DG and that concentrations of 3,4-DGE in the micromolar range effectively induced iCGRP release from isolated murine skin. In a novel preparation of the isolated parietal peritoneum PD fluid or 3,4-DGE alone, at concentrations found in PD solutions, stimulated iCGRP release. We also tested whether inflammatory tissue conditions synergize with dicarbonyls to induce iCGRP release from isolated skin. Application of MGO together with bradykinin or prostaglandin E2 resulted in an overadditive effect on iCGRP release, whereas MGO applied at a pH of 5.2 resulted in reduced release, probably due to an MGO-mediated inhibition of transient receptor potential (TRP) V1 receptors. These results indicate that several reactive dicarbonyls activate nociceptors and potentiate inflammatory mediators. Our findings underline the roles of dicarbonyls and TRPA1 receptors in causing pain during diabetes or renal disease.

Insulin receptors in podocytes are essential for normal kidney function. Here, we show that insulin evokes a rapid increase in the surface expression of canonical transient receptor potential-6 channel (TRPC6) channels in cultured podocytes, but caused a decrease in surface expression of TRPC5. These effects are accompanied by a marked increase in outwardly rectifying cationic currents that can be blocked by 10 μM SKF96365 or 100 μM La3+. Application of oleoyl-2-acetyl- sn-glycerol (OAG) also increased SKF96365- and La3+-sensitive cationic currents in podocytes. Importantly, current responses to a combination of OAG and insulin were the same amplitude as those evoked by either agent applied alone. This occlusion effect suggests that OAG and insulin are targeting the same population of channels. In addition, shRNA knockdown of TRPC6 markedly reduced cationic currents stimulated by insulin. The effects of insulin on TRPC6 were mimicked by treating podocytes with H2O2. Insulin treatment rapidly increased the generation of H2O2 in podocytes, and it increased the surface expression of the NADPH oxidase NOX4 in cultured podocytes. Basal and insulin-stimulated surface expression of TRPC6 were reduced by pretreatment with diphenylene iodonium, an inhibitor of NADPH oxidases and other flavin-dependent enzymes, by siRNA knockdown of NOX4, and by manganese (III) tetrakis (4-benzoic acid) porphyrin chloride, a membrane-permeable mimetic of superoxide dismutase and catalase. These observations suggest that insulin increases generation of ROS in part through activation of NADPH oxidases, and that this step contributes to modulation of podocyte TRPC6 channels.
