Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) proteins form Ca(2+)-permeable, nonselective cation channels activated after stimulation of G protein-coupled membrane receptors linked to phospholipase C (PLC). Although the PLC/inositol phosphate signaling pathway is known to exist in heart, expression and subcellular distribution of TRPC channel proteins in ventricular myocardium have not been evaluated. Of the six members of the TRPC channel family examined here, only TRPC3 was found by Western blot analysis of membrane proteins from rodent or canine ventricle. Likewise, only TRPC3 was observed in immunofluorescence analysis of thin sections from rat ventricle. TRPC3 was also the only family member observed in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes in culture. In longitudinal sections of rat ventricle, TRPC3 was predominantly localized to the intercalated disk region of the myocyte. However, transverse sections through heart muscle or single isolated adult myocytes revealed TRPC3-specific labeling in a vast network of intracellular membranes, where it colocalized with the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase (NKA) pump and the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) but not with the ryanodine receptor or the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) pump. Reciprocal immunoprecipitation assays from rat or canine ventricle showed that TRPC3 associates with NKA and NCX but not with the plasmalemmal Ca(2+)-ATPase pump. Immunoprecipitations from Sf9 insect cells heterologously expressing TRPC3, NKA, and NCX in various combinations revealed that NKA and NCX interact and that TRPC3 and NCX interact, but that TRPC3 does not directly associate with NKA. Together, these results suggest that TRPC3 is localized in the ventricular myocyte to the axial component of the transverse-axial tubular system, where it exists in a signaling complex that includes NCX and NKA. 相似文献

In the brain, classical (canonical) transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels are thought to be involved in different aspects of neuronal development. We investigated the developmental expression profile of TRPC channels in rat cerebellum during the first 6 weeks after birth. TRPC3 expression is significantly up-regulated whereas TRPC4 and TRPC6 expression are significantly down-regulated over this period of time. TRPC3 expression is mainly found on Purkinje cells and their dendrites, suggesting that the increase in TRPC3 expression reflects development of the dendritic tree of Purkinje cells. TRPC4 expression was restricted to granule and their precursor cells. TRPC6 expression is found on Purkinje cell bodies, on mature granule cells in the internal granule cell layer (but not their precursors) and interneurons in the molecular layer. The decrease in TRPC4 expression suggests that it is required for proper granule cell development whereas the decrease in TRPC6 expression is presumably correlated with interneuron development. Moreover, we demonstrate the presence of functional TRPC channels on Purkinje cell dendrites that are activated following stimulation of metabotropic glutamate receptors. Our results reveal cell-specific expression patterns for different TRPC proteins and suggest that developmental changes in TRPC protein expression may be required for proper postnatal cerebellar development. 相似文献

The transient receptor potential protein homologue TRPC5 was reported as a molecular identity for the muscarinic receptor-activated nonselective cationic channel (NSCC) in the murine stomach smooth muscle. The canonical, or classical, transient receptor potential proteins, TRPC4 and TRPC5, were suggested as members of the same subfamily of TRPC channels and to be coexpressed as a heteromultimer of both TRPC as well as a homotetramer of each TRPC protein. Thus, we investigated whether the TRPC4 channel is also responsible for the NSCC activated by acetylcholine (ACh) or carbachol (CCh) using electrophysiological techniques. The TRPC channels were expressed in HEK293 cells. When murine TRPC4 channels (mTRPC4) were expressed, the current–voltage relationship of mTRPC4 was also similar to that recorded in native murine gastric myocytes or mTRPC5-expressing HEK cells. With 0.2 mM GTPγS in the pipette solution, the currents in mTRPC4-expressing cells were activated transiently like those in NSCC in the murine stomach and the expressed mTRPC5. The currents recorded in mTRPC4-expressing cells were inhibited by 1 mM La3+ and 100 μM flufenamate. The currents recorded in mTRPC4-expressing cells depended on the extracellular calcium concentration. From the above results, we suggest that mTRPC4/5 might be candidates for the NSCC activated by ACh or CCh in the murine stomach. 相似文献

Modern data concerning expression, localization, biophysical properties, involvement in calcium regulation, and physiological
functions of TRP and Orai channels in skeletal muscle cells are analyzed. In skeletal muscles TRPC1/2/3/4/5/6/7, TRPV2/4,
TRPM2/7 and Orai1/3 channels are expressed. Activities of TRPC1/3 and TRPV4 facilitate maximal muscle contraction during tetanus.
Orai1 channels provide recovery of intracellular calcium stores and are obligatory for proliferation of myoblasts and differentiation
of skeletal muscles. TRPC1 knockout results in alterations of the development of skeletal muscles. Enhanced calcium influx
via the channels is supposed to be a pathogenic factor of myodystrophy. 相似文献

This study was designed to identify the differential expression of the canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels
in the left ventricle of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Echocardiography studies were performed to compare the left
ventricular function in SHR vs. Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), and the mRNA level of the TRPC channels was determined by quantitative
real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR). Western blots were performed to examine whether the mRNA expression corresponded with the protein
expression. Compared with the WKY, the mRNA expression of TRPC4 and TRPC5 was significantly increased in the 10-week-old SHR
(P = 0.032 for TRPC4 and P = 0.043 for TRPC5), so did the TRPC4/5 protein content. The midwall fractional shortening (mFS) of SHR was lower than WKY
(P = 0.016). Furthermore, increased expression of TRPC4/5 was correlated with both increased blood pressure and decreased mFS.
These findings suggest that TRPC4 and 5 seem to be the main subtypes expressed in the heart of the SHR at the beginning period
of hypertension. Theses channels may participate in the development of left ventricular systolic dysfunction. 相似文献

Polarized Ca2+ signals in secretory epithelial cells are determined by compartmentalized localization of Ca2+ signaling proteins at the apical pole. Recently the ER Ca2+ sensor STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule 1) and the Orai channels were shown to play a critical role in store‐dependent Ca2+ influx. STIM1 also gates the transient receptor potential‐canonical (TRPC) channels. Here, we asked how cell stimulation affects the localization, recruitment and function of the native proteins in polarized cells. Inhibition of Orai1, STIM1, or deletion of TRPC1 reduces Ca2+ influx and frequency of Ca2+ oscillations. Orai1 localization is restricted to the apical pole of the lateral membrane. Surprisingly, cell stimulation does not lead to robust clustering of native Orai1, as is observed with expressed Orai1. Unexpectedly, cell stimulation causes polarized recruitment of native STIM1 to both the apical and lateral regions, thus to regions with and without Orai1. Accordingly, STIM1 and Orai1 show only 40% colocalization. Consequently, STIM1 shows higher colocalization with the basolateral membrane marker E‐cadherin than does Orai1, while Orai1 showed higher colocalization with the tight junction protein ZO1. TRPC1 is expressed in both apical and basolateral regions of the plasma membrane. Co‐IP of STIM1/Orai1/IP3 receptors (IP3Rs)/TRPCs is enhanced by cell stimulation and disrupted by 2‐aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2APB). The polarized localization and recruitment of these proteins results in preferred Ca2+ entry that is initiated at the apical pole. These findings reveal that in addition to Orai1, STIM1 likely regulates other Ca2+ permeable channels, such as the TRPCs. Both channels contribute to the frequency of [Ca2+] oscillations and thus impact critical cellular functions. 相似文献

Receptor-coupled [Ca2+]i increase is initiated in the apical region of epithelial cells and has been associated with apically localized Ca2+-signaling proteins. However, localization of Ca2+ channels that are regulated by such Ca2+-signaling events has not yet been established. This study examines the localization of TRPC channels in polarized epithelial cells and demonstrates a role for TRPC3 in apical Ca2+ uptake. Endogenously and exogenously expressed TRPC3 was localized apically in polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney cells (MDCK) and salivary gland epithelial cells. In contrast, TRPC1 was localized basolaterally, whereas TRPC6 was detected in both locations. Localization of Galpha(q/11), inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor-3, and phospholipase Cbeta1 and -beta2 was also predominantly apical. TRPC3 co-immunoprecipitated with endogenous TRPC6, phospholipase Cbetas, Galpha(q/11), inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor-3, and syntaxin 3 but not with TRPC1. Furthermore, 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG)-stimulated apical 45Ca2+ uptake was higher in TRPC3-MDCK cells compared with control (MDCK) cells. Bradykinin-stimulated apical 45Ca2+ uptake and transepithelial 45Ca2+ flux were also higher in TRPC3-expressing cells. Consistent with this, OAG induced [Ca2+]i increase in the apical, but not basal, region of TRPC3-MDCK cells that was blocked by EGTA addition to the apical medium. Most importantly, (i) TRPC3 was detected in the apical region of rat submandibular gland ducts, whereas TRPC6 was present in apical as well as basolateral regions of ducts and acini; and (ii) OAG stimulated Ca2+ influx into dispersed ductal cells. These data demonstrate functional localization of TRPC3/TRPC6 channels in the apical region of polarized epithelial cells. In salivary gland ducts this could contribute to the regulation of salivary [Ca2+] and secretion. 相似文献

The mammalian homologues of the Drosophila transient receptor potential (TRP) represent a superfamily of ion channels involved in Ca(2+) homeostasis. Several members of this family are activated either by a depletion of the internal stores of Ca(2+) or by stimulation of G protein-coupled receptors. In androgen responsive prostate cancer cell line LNCaP, TRPC1, TRPC4 and/or TRPV6 have been reported to function as store-operated channels (SOCs) while TRPC3 might be involved in the response to agonist stimulation, possibly through the induction of diacylglycerol production by phospholipase C. However, the control of expression of these TRP proteins is largely unknown. In the present study, we have investigated if the expression of the TRP proteins possibly involved in the capacitative influx of calcium is influenced by the contents of Ca(2+) in the endoplasmic reticulum. Using real-time PCR and Western blot techniques, we show that the expression of TRPC1, TRPC3 and TRPV6 proteins increases after a prolonged (24-48 h) depletion of the stores with thapsigargin. The upregulation of TRPC1 and TRPC3 depends on the store contents level and involves the activation of the Ca(2+)/calmodulin/calcineurin/NFAT pathway. Functionally, cells overexpressing TRPC1, TRPC3 and TRPV6 channels after a prolonged depletion of the stores showed an increased [Ca(2+)](i) response to alpha-adrenergic stimulation. However, the store-operated entry of calcium was unchanged. The isolated overexpression of TRPV6 (without overexpression of TRPC1 and TRPC3) did not produce this increased response to agonists, therefore suggesting that TRPC1 and/or TRPC3 proteins are responsible for the response to alpha-adrenergic stimulation but that TRPC1, TPRC3 and TRPV6 proteins, expressed alone or concomitantly, are not sufficient for SOC formation. 相似文献

Regulation of the cellular localization and function of human transient receptor potential channel 1 by other members of the TRPC family 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Members of the Canonical Transient Receptor Potential (TRPC) family of ionic channels are able to form homo- and heterotetrameric channels. Depending on the study, TRPC1 has been detected on both the surface and inside the cell, probably in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Likewise, TRPC1 has been described both as a store-operated channel and as one unable to function when forming a homotetramer. It is possible that the apparent differences in the expression and function of TRPC1 are due to its association with other proteins, possibly from the same TRPC family. In the present study we used confocal microscopy and a fluorescently tagged TRPC1 to examine the localization of this protein when co-expressed with other members of the TRPC family. Whole-cell and single channel electrophysiological recordings were conducted to study the function of TRPC1 expressed alone or co-expressed with other members of the TRPC family. A FRET-based calcium sensor fused to TRPC1 was used to assess the functionality of the intracellular TRPC1. Our results showed that TRPC4 and TRPC5 were able to increase the amount of membrane-expressed TRPC1 as evaluated by confocal microscopy and patch clamp recordings. The FRET-based calcium sensor fused to TRPC1 strongly suggests that this protein forms ER-expressed functional homotetrameric channels activated by agonists coupled to the IP(3) cascade. These results indicate that TRPC1 is a multifunctional protein able to form intracellular calcium release channels when expressed alone, and plasma membrane channels when co-expressed with TRPC4 or TRPC5, but not TRPC3 or TRPC6. Both (ER and plasma membrane) forms of the channel are activated upon addition of agonists coupled to the IP(3) cascade. 相似文献

The TRPC family of non-selective cation channels has been suggested to play a key role in the responses to alpha1-adrenoceptor stimulation of vascular smooth muscle. However, there are still very few reports of non-selective cation currents activated by alpha1-AR in resistance arteries. Here, we examine the expression of TRPC channels and the currents activated by alpha1-adrenoceptors in rat mesenteric resistance artery smooth muscle. Messenger RNA and protein for TRPC1, TRPC3 and TRPC6 were detected within the arteries by RT-PCR and immunoblotting. Endothelial and adventitial layers were found to express the TRPC1, TRPC3 and TRPC6 proteins whereas only TRPC1 and TRPC6 were detected in the arterial smooth muscle by confocal immunofluorescence microscopy. In whole-cell patch-clamp recordings from isolated mesenteric arterial myocytes, an outwardly rectifying non-selective cation current was activated by both the alpha1-adrenoceptor agonist, phenylephrine (10 microM), and the diacylglycerol analogue, 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (100 microM). Responses to 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol were not blocked, but increased, following inhibition of protein-kinase-C with either bisindolylmaleimide-I (1 microM) or chelerythrine (1 microM). The currents activated by both phenylephrine and 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol were inhibited by Gd3+ (100 microM) but potentiated by flufenamic acid (100 microM). Collectively, these findings demonstrate for the first time the expression of TRPC1 and TRPC6 in rat mesenteric artery smooth muscle and the existence in rat isolated mesenteric arterial myocytes of a TRPC-like non-selective cation current activated by alpha1-adrenoceptor stimulation and 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol. 相似文献

Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is required for polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) activation in response to G protein-coupled agonists. Some immunocytes express proteins homologous to the Drosophila transient receptor potential gene (trp) calcium channel. TRP proteins assemble into heterotetrameric ion channels and are known to support SOCE in overexpression systems, but the evidence that TRP proteins support SOCE and are functionally important in wild-type cells remains indirect. We therefore studied the expression and function of TRP proteins in primary human PMN. TRPC1, TRPC3, TRPC4, and TRPC6 were all expressed as mRNA as well as membrane proteins. Immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrated localization of TRPC1, TRPC3, and TRPC4 to the PMN cell membrane and their internalization after cytoskeletal reorganization by calyculin A (CalyA). Either TRPC internalization by CalyA or treatment with the inositol triphosphate receptor inhibitor 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borane resulted in the loss of PMN SOCE. Cytochalasin D (CytoD) disrupts actin filaments, thus preventing cytoskeletal reorganization, and pretreatment with CytoD rescued PMN SOCE from inhibition by CalyA. Comparative studies of CytoD and 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borane inhibition of PMN cationic entry after thapsigargin or platelet-activating factor suggested that SOCE occurs through both calcium-specific and nonspecific pathways. Taken together, these studies suggest that the multiple TRPC proteins expressed by human PMN participate in the formation of at least two store-operated calcium channels that have differing ionic permeabilities and regulatory characteristics. 相似文献

The TRPC3/6/7 subfamily of cation channels 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The mammalian transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins consist of a superfamily of Ca2+-permeant non-selective cation channels with structural similarities to Drosophila TRP. The TRP superfamily can be divided into three major families, among them the "canonical TRP" family (TRPC). The seven protein products of the mammalian TRPC family of genes (designated TRPC1-7) share in common the activation through PLC-coupled receptors and have been proposed to encode components of native store-operated channels in different cell types. In addition, the three members of the TRPC3/6/7 subfamily of TRPC channels can be activated by diacylglycerol analogs, providing a possible mechanism of activation of these channels by PLC-coupled receptors. This review summarizes the current knowledge about the mechanism of activation of the TRPC3/6/7 subfamily, as well as the potential role of these proteins as components of native Ca2+-permeant channels. 相似文献

Background
Background K+ channels are the principal determinants of the resting membrane potential (RMP) in cardiac myocytes and thus, influence the magnitude and time course of the action potential (AP).Methods
RT-PCR and in situ hybridization are used to study the distribution of TASK-1 and whole-cell patch clamp technique is employed to determine the functional expression of TASK-1 in embryonic chick heart.Results
Chicken TASK-1 was expressed in the early tubular heart, then substantially decreased in the ventricles by embryonic day 5 (ED5), but remained relatively high in ED5 and ED11 atria. Unlike TASK-1, TASK-3 was uniformly expressed in heart at all developmental stages. In situ hybridization studies further revealed that TASK-1 was expressed throughout myocardium at Hamilton-Hamburger stages 11 and 18 (S11 &; S18) heart. In ED11 heart, TASK-1 expression was more restricted to atria. Consistent with TASK-1 expression data, patch clamp studies indicated that there was little TASK-1 current, as measured by the difference currents between pH 8.4 and pH 7.4, in ED5 and ED11 ventricular myocytes. However, TASK-1 current was present in the early embryonic heart and ED11 atrial myocytes. TASK-1 currents were also identified as 3 μM anandamide-sensitive currents. 3 μM anandamide reduced TASK-1 currents by about 58% in ED11 atrial myocytes. Zn2+ (100 μM) which selectively inhibits TASK-3 channel at this concentration had no effect on TASK currents. In ED11 ventricle where TASK-1 expression was down-regulated, IK1 was about 5 times greater than in ED11 atrial myocytes.Conclusion
Functional TASK-1 channels are differentially expressed in the developing chick heart and TASK-1 channels contribute to background K+ conductance in the early tubular embryonic heart and in atria. TASK-1 channels act as a contributor to background K+ current to modulate the cardiac excitability in the embryonic heart that expresses little IK1. 相似文献15.

Background: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is associated with coronary artery diseases. However, its role and mechanism in myocardial infarction (MI) is not fully understood.Methods: Wistar rat and Kunming mouse model of MI were induced by the ligation of left coronary artery. Blood samples were collected from MI rats and patients. Plasma BDNF level, protein expression of BDNF, tropomyosin-related kinase B (TrkB) and its downstream transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC)3/6 channels were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot. Infarct size, cardiac function and cardiomyocyte apoptosis were measured after intra-myocardium injection with recombinant human BDNF. Protective role of BDNF against cardiomyocyte apoptosis was confirmed by BDNF scavenger TrkB-Fc. The regulation of TRPC3/6 channels by BDNF was validated by pretreating with TRPC blocker (2-Aminoethyl diphenylborinate, 2-APB) and TRPC3/6 siRNAs.Results: Circulating BDNF was significantly enhanced in MI rats and patients. Protein expression of BDNF, TrkB and TRPC3/6 channels were upregulated in MI. 3 days post-MI, BDNF treatment markedly reduced the infarct size and serum lactate dehydrogenase activity. Meanwhile, echocardiography indicated that BDNF significantly improved cardiac function of MI mice. Furthermore, BDNF markedly inhibited cardiomyocyte apoptosis by upregulating Bcl-2 expression and downregulating caspase-3 expression and activity in ischemic myocardium. In neonatal rat ventricular myocytes, cell viability was dramatically increased by BDNF in hypoxia, which was restored by TrkB-Fc. Furthermore, protective role of BDNF against hypoxia-induced apoptosis was reversed by 2-APB and TRPC3/6 siRNAs.Conclusion: BDNF/TrkB alleviated cardiac ischemic injury and inhibited cardiomyocytes apoptosis by regulating TRPC3/6 channels, which provides a novel potential therapeutic candidate for MI. 相似文献

Duchenne muscular dystrophy results from the lack of dystrophin, a cytoskeletal protein associated with the inner surface membrane, in skeletal muscle. The absence of dystrophin induces an abnormal increase of sarcolemmal calcium influx through cationic channels in adult skeletal muscle fibers from dystrophic (mdx) mice. We observed that the activity of these channels was increased after depletion of the stores of calcium with thapsigargin or caffeine. By analogy with the situation observed in nonexcitable cells, we therefore hypothesized that these store-operated channels could belong to the transient receptor potential channel (TRPC) family. We measured the expression of TRPC isoforms in normal and mdx adult skeletal muscles fibers, and among the seven known isoforms, five were detected (TRPC1, 2, 3, 4, and 6) by RT-PCR. Western blot analysis and immunocytochemistry of normal and mdx muscle fibers demonstrated the localization of TRPC1, 4, and 6 proteins at the plasma membrane. Therefore, an antisense strategy was used to repress these TRPC isoforms. In parallel with the repression of the TRPCs, we observed that the occurrence of calcium leak channels was decreased to one tenth of its control value (patch-clamp technique), showing the involvement of TRPC in the abnormal calcium influx observed in dystrophic fibers. 相似文献

The canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels are a family of non-selective cation channels that are activated by increases in intracellular Ca(2+) and G(q)/phospholipase C-coupled receptors. We used quantitative real-time PCR, in situ hybridization, immunoblots and patch-clamp recording from several brain regions to examine the expression of the predominant TRPC channels in the rodent brain. Quantitative real-time PCR of the seven TRPC channels in the rodent brain revealed that TRPC4 and TRPC5 channels were the predominant TRPC subtypes in the adult rat brain. In situ hybridization histochemistry and immunoblotting further resolved a dense corticolimbic expression of the TRPC4 and TRPC5 channels. Total protein expression of HIP TRPC4 and 5 proteins increased throughout development and peaked late in adulthood (6-9 weeks). In adults, TRPC4 expression was high throughout the frontal cortex, lateral septum (LS), pyramidal cell layer of the hippocampus (HIP), dentate gyrus (DG), and ventral subiculum (vSUB). TRPC5 was highly expressed in the frontal cortex, pyramidal cell layer of the HIP, DG, and hypothalamus. Detailed examination of frontal cortical layer mRNA expression indicated TRPC4 mRNA is distributed throughout layers 2-6 of the prefrontal cortex (PFC), motor cortex (MCx), and somatosensory cortex (SCx). TRPC5 mRNA expression was concentrated specifically in the deep layers 5/6 and superficial layers 2/3 of the PFC and anterior cingulate. Patch-clamp recording indicated a strong metabotropic glutamate-activated cation current-mediated depolarization that was dependent on intracellular Ca(2+)and inhibited by protein kinase C in brain regions associated with dense TRPC4 or 5 expression and absent in regions lacking TRPC4 and 5 expression. Overall, the dense corticolimbic expression pattern suggests that these Gq/PLC coupled nonselective cation channels may be involved in learning, memory, and goal-directed behaviors. 相似文献

In the experiments here, the developmental expression of the functional Ca(2+)-independent, depolarization-activated K+ channel currents, Ito and IK, and of the voltage-gated K+ channel (Kv) alpha subunits, Kv1.2, Kv1.4, Kv1.5, Kv2.1, and Kv4.2 in rat ventricular myocytes were examined quantitatively. Using the whole-cell patch clamp recording method, the properties and the densities of Ito and IK in ventricular myocytes isolated from postnatal day 5 (P5), 10 (P10), 15 (P15), 20 (P20), 25 (P25), 30 (P30), and adult (8-12 wk) rats were characterized and compared. These experiments revealed that mean Ito densities increase fourfold between birth and P30, whereas IK densities vary only slightly. Neither the time- nor the voltage-dependent properties of the currents vary measurably, suggesting that the subunits underlying functional Ito and IK channels are the same throughout postnatal development. In parallel experiments, the developmental expression of each of the voltage-gated K+ channel alpha subunits, Kv1.2, Kv1.4, Kv1.5, Kv2.1, and Kv4.2, was examined quantitatively at the mRNA and protein levels using subunit-specific probes. RNase protection assays revealed that Kv1.4 message levels are high at birth, increase between P0 and P10, and subsequently decrease to very low levels in adult rat ventricles. The decrease in message is accompanied by a marked reduction in Kv1.4 protein, consistent with our previous suggestion that Kv1.4 does not contribute to the formation of functional K+ channels in adult rat ventricular myocytes. In contrast to Kv1.4, the mRNA levels of Kv1.2, Kv1.5, Kv2.1, and Kv4.2 increase (three- to five- fold) between birth and adult. Western analyses, however, revealed that the expression patterns of these subunits proteins vary in distinct ways: Kv1.2 and Kv4.2, for example, increase between P5 and adult, whereas Kv1.5 remains constant and Kv2.1 decreases. Throughout development, therefore, there is a mismatch between the numbers of Kv alpha subunits expressed and the functional voltage-gated K+ channel currents distinguished electrophysiologically in rat ventricular myocytes. Alternative experimental approaches will be required to define directly the Kv alpha subunits that underlie functional voltage- gated K+ channels in these (and other) cells. In addition, the finding that Kv alpha subunit protein expression levels do not necessarily mirror mRNA levels suggests that caution should be exercised in attempting functional interpretations of observed changes in mRNA levels alone. 相似文献

Background
Electrophysiological data suggest that cardiac KATP channels consist of Kir6.2 and SUR2A subunits, but the distribution of these (and other KATP channel subunits) is poorly defined. We examined the localization of each of the KATP channel subunits in the mouse and rat heart.Results
Immunohistochemistry of cardiac cryosections demonstrate Kir6.1 protein to be expressed in ventricular myocytes, as well as in the smooth muscle and endothelial cells of coronary resistance vessels. Endothelial capillaries also stained positive for Kir6.1 protein. Kir6.2 protein expression was found predominantly in ventricular myocytes and also in endothelial cells, but not in smooth muscle cells. SUR1 subunits are strongly expressed at the sarcolemmal surface of ventricular myocytes (but not in the coronary vasculature), whereas SUR2 protein was found to be localized predominantly in cardiac myocytes and coronary vessels (mostly in smaller vessels). Immunocytochemistry of isolated ventricular myocytes shows co-localization of Kir6.2 and SUR2 proteins in a striated sarcomeric pattern, suggesting t-tubular expression of these proteins. Both Kir6.1 and SUR1 subunits were found to express strongly at the sarcolemma. The role(s) of these subunits in cardiomyocytes remain to be defined and may require a reassessment of the molecular nature of ventricular KATP channels.Conclusions
Collectively, our data demonstrate unique cellular and subcellular KATP channel subunit expression patterns in the heart. These results suggest distinct roles for KATP channel subunits in diverse cardiac structures. 相似文献20.

TRPC4 and TRPC5 channels are important regulators of electrical excitability in both gastrointestinal myocytes and neurons. Much is known regarding the assembly and function of these channels including TRPC1 as a homotetramer or a heteromultimer and the roles that their interacting proteins play in controlling these events. Further, they are one of the best-studied targets of G protein-coupled receptors and growth factors in general and Gαq protein coupled receptor or epidermal growth factor in particular. However, our understanding of the roles of Gαi/o proteins on TRPC4/5 channels is still rudimentary. We discuss potential roles for Gαi/o proteins in channel activation in addition to their known role in cellular signaling. 相似文献
