Our previous study indicated an important protective role of transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) in controlling bacterial clearance in macrophages during polymicrobial sepsis by regulating heme oxygenase-1. Autophagy is necessary for macrophages to kill invasive bacteria. In the present study, TRPM2 knockout (KO) mice show decreased heme oxygenase-1 and autophagy in peritoneal macrophages after caecal ligation and puncture surgery. Caecal ligation and puncture-induced autophagy in peritoneal macrophages is dependent on heme oxygenase-1. TRPM2 KO mice treated with heme oxygenase-1 inducer before caecal ligation and puncture significantly increase autophagy of peritoneal macrophages, bacterial clearance rate and survival rate. In addition, TRPM2 KO mice treated with heme oxygenase-1 inducer before caecal ligation and puncture significantly attenuate organ injury and systemic inflammation. These improvements are reversed by autophagy inhibitor. Therefore, our findings suggest that TRPM2-mediated heme oxygenase-1 has a role for bacterial clearance possibly by regulating autophagy in peritoneal macrophages during polymicrobial sepsis.

Abstract Background Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 is a Ca2+-permeable cation channel abundantly expressed in macrophages. Trpm2−/− mice showed exacerbated infection and mortality during polymicrobial sepsis, which is associated with inefficient bacterial killing in macrophages. However, the mechanism of transient receptor potential melastatin 2 regulating bacterial killing remains unknown. Methods Trpm2 −/− mice were intraperitoneally injected with Escherichia coli. The survival rate (n = 21) and bacterial burden (n = 5) were assessed. The processes of phagosome maturation and phagosome–lysosome fusion in peritoneal macrophages were extensively studied. The impact of increasing intracellular Ca2+ concentration on bacterial clearance in macrophages (n = 3) and on survival rate of Trpm2−/− mice infected with E. coli (n = 21) was investigated. Results Trpm2 −/− mice exhibited increased mortality (85% vs. 54%; P < 0.01) and aggravated bacterial burden during E. coli sepsis. Trpm2−/− peritoneal macrophages infected with E. coli showed dampened recruitment of lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 and impaired phagosome maturation evidenced by a decrease in the accumulation of early endosome antigen 1, whereas a normal acquisition of Ras-related protein in brain 5. Increasing the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in Trpm2−/− peritoneal macrophages via ionomycin treatment facilitated early endosome antigen 1 recruitment to Ras-related protein in brain 5 and phagosomal localization of lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 and consequently enhanced bactericidal activity. Adoptive transfer of ionomycin-treated Trpm2−/− peritoneal macrophages improved bacterial clearance and survival (67% vs. 29%; P < 0.01) in Trpm2−/− mice challenged with E. coli. Conclusions Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 plays a critical role in host defense against invading bacteria via promoting phagosome maturation through facilitation of early endosome antigen 1 recruitment.

Abstract Background: Recent studies suggest that the transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) channel plays an important role in inflammation and immune response. However, the role and mechanism of TRPM2 in polymicrobial sepsis remain unclear. Methods: The authors explored the effects of genetic disruption of TRPM2 on mortality (n = 15), bacterial clearance (n = 6), organ injury, and systemic inflammation during cecal ligation and puncture–induced sepsis. Electrophysiology, immunoblot, bacterial clearance experiment, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were used to explore the role and mechanism of TRPM2 in sepsis. Results: After cecal ligation and puncture, Trpm2-knockout mice had increased mortality compared with wild-type mice (73.3 vs. 40%, P = 0.0289). The increased mortality was associated with increased bacterial burden, organ injury, and systemic inflammation. TRPM2-mediated Ca2+ influx plays an important role in lipopolysaccharide or cecal ligation and puncture–induced heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression in macrophage. HO-1 up-regulation decreased bacterial burden both in wild-type bone marrow–derived macrophages and in cecal ligation and puncture–induced septic wild-type mice. Disruption of TRPM2 decreased HO-1 expression and increased bacterial burden in bone marrow–derived macrophages. Pretreatment of Trpm2-knockout bone marrow–derived macrophages with HO-1 inducer markedly increased HO-1 expression and decreased bacterial burden. Pretreatment of Trpm2-knockout mice with HO-1 inducer reversed the susceptibility of Trpm2-knockout mice to sepsis by enhancing the bacterial clearance. In addition, septic patients with lower monocytic TRPM2 and HO-1 messenger RNA levels had a worse outcome compared with septic patients with normal monocytic TRPM2 and HO-1 messenger RNA levels. TRPM2 levels correlated with HO-1 levels in septic patients (r = 0.675, P = 0.001). Conclusion: The study data demonstrate a protective role of TRPM2 in controlling bacterial clearance during polymicrobial sepsis possibly by regulating HO-1 expression.

Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, has been reported to mediate antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-angiogenic effects in endothelial cells. This study investigated the influence of CBD on the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and its functional role in regulating metabolic, autophagic, and apoptotic processes of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Concentrations up to 10 µM CBD showed a concentration-dependent increase of HO-1 mRNA and protein and an increase of the HO-1-regulating transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). CBD-induced HO-1 expression was not decreased by antagonists of cannabinoid-activated receptors (CB1, CB2, transient receptor potential vanilloid 1), but by the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC). The incubation of HUVEC with 6 µM CBD resulted in increased metabolic activity, while 10 µM CBD caused decreased metabolic activity and an induction of apoptosis, as demonstrated by enhanced caspase-3 cleavage. In addition, CBD triggered a concentration-dependent increase of the autophagy marker LC3A/B-II. Both CBD-induced LC3A/B-II levels and caspase-3 cleavage were reduced by NAC. The inhibition of autophagy by bafilomycin A1 led to apoptosis induction by 6 µM CBD and a further increase of the proapoptotic effect of 10 µM CBD. On the other hand, the inhibition of HO-1 activity with tin protoporphyrin IX (SnPPIX) or knockdown of HO-1 expression by Nrf2 siRNA was associated with a decrease in CBD-mediated autophagy and apoptosis. In summary, our data show for the first time ROS-mediated HO-1 expression in endothelial cells as a mechanism by which CBD mediates protective autophagy, which at higher CBD concentrations, however, can no longer prevent cell death inducing apoptosis.

In this study, we investigated the role of transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2), a nonselective cation channel abundantly expressed in inflammatory cells such as macrophages, in the development of postoperative ileus, a complication of abdominal surgery characterized by gastrointestinal dysmotility. In wild-type mice, we found that intestinal manipulation, a maneuver that elicits symptoms typical of postoperative ileus, delays the transit of fluorescein-labeled dextran, promotes the infiltration of CD68+ macrophages, Ly6B.2+ neutrophils, and MPO+ cells into intestinal muscles, boosts expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, iNOS, and CXCL2 in intestinal muscles and peritoneal macrophages, enhances phosphorylation of ERK and p38 MAPK in intestinal muscles, and amplifies IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, iNOS, and CXCL2 expression in resident and thioglycolate-elicited peritoneal macrophages following exposure to lipopolysaccharide. Remarkably, TRPM2 deficiency completely blocks or diminishes these effects. Indeed, intestinal manipulation appears to activate TRPM2 in resident muscularis macrophages and elicits release of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which, in turn, promote infiltration of macrophages and neutrophils into the muscle, ultimately resulting in dysmotility. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Activation of transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) releases inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which, in turn, promote the infiltration of inflammatory cells and macrophages into intestinal muscles, ultimately resulting in dysmotility. Thus TRPM2 is a promising target in treating dysmotility due to postoperative ileus, a complication of abdominal surgery.

Dual Operations

: Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7), along with the closely related TRPM6, are unique channels that have dual operations: cation permeability and kinase activity. In contrast to the limited tissue distribution of TRPM6, TRPM7 is widely expressed among tissues and is therefore implicated in a variety of cellular functions physiologically and pathophysiologically. The discovery of TRPM7’s unique structure imparting dual ion channel and kinase activities shed light onto novel and peculiar biological functions, such as Mg2+ homeostasis, cellular Ca2+ flickering, and even intranuclear transcriptional regulation by a cleaved kinase domain translocated to nuclei. Interestingly, at a higher level, TRPM7 participates in several biological processes in the nervous and cardiovascular systems, in which excitatory responses in neurons and cardiomyocytes are critical for their function. Here, we review the roles of TRPM7 in cells involved in the nervous and cardiovascular systems and discuss its potential as a future therapeutic target.

Background: Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder affecting the central nervous system. A growing body of evidence has depicted that high glucose level leads to the activation of the transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) channels. However, there are no studies targeting TRPM2 channels in diabetes-induced cognitive decline using a pharmacological approach. Objective: The present study intended to investigate the effects of 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB), a TRPM2 inhibitor, in diabetes-induced cognitive impairment. Methods: Streptozotocin (STZ, 50 mg/kg, i.p.) was used to induce diabetes in rats. Animals were randomly divided into the treatment group, model group and age-matched control and pre se group. 2-APB treatment was given for three weeks to the animals. After 10 days of behavioural treatment, parameters were performed. Animals were sacrificed at 10th week of diabetic induction and the hippocampus and cortex were isolated. After that, protein and mRNA expression study was performed in the hippocampus. Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity was done in the cortex. Results: : Our study showed the 10th week diabetic animals developed cognitive impairment, which was evident from the behavioural parameters. Diabetic animals depicted an increase in the TRPM2 mRNA and protein expression in the hippocampus as well as increased AchE activity in the cortex. However, memory associated proteins were down-regulated, namely Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII-Thr286), glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3β-Ser9), cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB-Ser133), and postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95). Gene expression of parvalbumin, calsequestrin and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) were down-regulated while mRNA level of calcineurin A/ protein phosphatase 3 catalytic subunit alpha (PPP3CA) was upregulated in the hippocampus of diabetic animals. A three-week treatment with 2-APB significantly ameliorated the alteration in behavioural cognitive parameters in diabetic rats. Moreover, 2-APB also down-regulated the expression of TRPM2 mRNA and protein in the hippocampus as well as AchE activity in the cortex of diabetic animals as compared to diabetic animals. Moreover, the 2-APB treatment also upregulated the CaMKII (Thr-286), GSK-3β (Ser9), CREB (Ser133), and PSD-95 expression and mRNA levels of parvalbumin, calsequestrin, and BDNF while mRNA level of calcineurin A was down-regulated in the hippocampus of diabetic animals. Conclusion: : This study confirms the ameliorative effect of TRPM2 channel inhibitor in the diabetes- induced cognitive deficits. Inhibition of TRPM2 channels reduced the calcium associated downstream signaling and showed a neuroprotective effect of TRPM2 channels in diabetesinduced cognitive impairment.

Abstract Background To investigate the function of transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) in vascular reactivity induced by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the aorta during development of atherosclerosis in mice. Methods Forty mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: C57BL/6J on normal diet (C57 + ND), C57BL/6J on high-fat diet (C57 + HFD), apolipoprotein E gene knockout mice (ApoE−/−) on ND (ApoE−/− + ND), and ApoE−/− on HFD (ApoE−/− + HFD). They were fed with a ND or HFD for 16 weeks. Aortic TRPM2 expression and isometric contractions were analyzed. Results In the ApoE−/− + HFD group, body weight, blood glucose, and blood lipid concentrations were increased, and aortic plaques were developed. Compared with the other 3 groups, aortic TRPM2 mRNA and protein levels were significantly increased in the ApoE−/− + HFD group (P < 0.01). Aortic reactivity to 5-HT was enhanced in ApoE−/− + HFD mice with lower EC50 values. The enhanced reactivity to 5-HT was significantly inhibited by TRPM2 inhibitors, N-p-amylcinnamoyl anthranilic acid (1 µmol/l) and 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate (10 µmol/l). Conclusions Aortic TRPM2 expression is upregulated in ApoE knockout mice fed with a HFD. Upregulation of TRPM2 enhances 5-HT vascular reactivity during development of atherosclerosis.
