Ca(2+) influx has been shown to be essential for NADPH oxidase activity which is involved in the inflammatory process. Ca(2+) conditions underlying the oxidative response are clearly delineated. Here, we show that store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) is required at the beginning of NADPH oxidase activation in response to fMLF (N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine) in neutrophil-like HL-60 cells. When extracellular Ca(2+) is initially removed, early addition of Ca(2+) after stimulation causes a complete restoration of Ca(2+) entry and H(2)O(2) production. Both Ca(2+) entry and H(2)O(2) production are decreased by purported SOCE blockers, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borane (2-APB) and SK&F 96365. Endogenously expressed TRPC (transient receptor potential canonical) homologues and Orai1 were investigated for their role in supporting store-operated Ca(2+) channels activity. TRPC1, TRPC6 and Orai1 knock-out by siRNA resulted in the inhibition of Ca(2+) influx and H(2)O(2) production in response to fMLF and thapsigargin while suppression of TRPC3 had no effect on thapsigargin induced-SOCE. 2-APB and SK&F 96365 were able to amplify the reduction of fMLF-stimulated Ca(2+) entry and H(2)O(2) production observed in cells transfected by TRPC3 siRNA. In summary, Ca(2+) influx in HL-60 cells relies on different membrane TRPC channels and Orai1 for allowing NADPH oxidase activation. TRPC3 primarily mediates SOCE-independent pathways and TRPC1, TRPC6 and Orai1 exclusively contribute to SOCE.  相似文献

In most non-excitable cells, calcium (Ca(2+)) release from the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3))-sensitive intracellular Ca(2+) stores is coupled to Ca(2+) influx through the plasma membrane Ca(2+) channels whose molecular composition is poorly understood. Several members of mammalian TRP-related protein family have been implicated to both receptor- and store-operated Ca(2+) influx. Here we investigated the role of the native transient receptor potential 3 (TRPC3) homologue in mediating the store- and receptor-operated calcium entry in A431 cells. We show that suppression of TRPC3 protein levels by small interfering RNA (siRNA) leads to a significant reduction in store-operated calcium influx without affecting the receptor-operated calcium influx. With single-channel analysis, we further demonstrate that reduction of TRPC3 levels results in suppression of specific subtype of store-operated calcium channels and activation of store-independent channels. Our data suggest that TRPC3 is required for the formation of functional store-operated channels in A431 cells.  相似文献

Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) and TRPC protein expression were investigated in the rat-derived hippocampal H19-7 cell line. Thapsigargin-stimulated Ba2+ entry and the expression of TRPC1, TRPC3, TRPC4, TRPC5, TRPC6, and TRPC7 mRNA and protein were observed in proliferating H19-7 cells. When cells were placed under differentiating conditions, a change in TRPC homolog expression profile occurred. The expression of TRPC1 and TRPC3 mRNA and protein dramatically increased, while the expression of TRPC4 and TRPC7 mRNA and protein dramatically decreased; in parallel a 3.4-fold increase in the level of thapsigargin-stimulated Ba2+ entry was observed and found to be inhibited by 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborane. The selective suppression of TRPC protein levels by small interfering RNA (siRNA) approaches indicated that TRPC1 and TRPC3 are involved in mediating SOCE in proliferating H19-7 cells. Although TRPC4 and TRPC7 are expressed at much higher levels than TRPC1 and TRPC3 in proliferating cells, they do not appear to mediate SOCE. The co-expression of siRNA specific for TRPC1 and TRPC3 in proliferating cells inhibited approximately the same amount of SOCE as observed with expression of either siRNA alone, suggesting that TRPC1 and TRPC3 work in tandem to mediate SOCE. Under differentiating conditions, co-expression of siRNA for TRPC1 and TRPC3 blocked the normal 3.4-fold increase in SOCE and in turn blocked the differentiation of H19-7 cells. This study suggests that placing H19-7 cells under differentiating conditions significantly alters TRPC gene expression and increases the level of SOCE and that this increase in SOCE is necessary for cell differentiation.  相似文献

Functional requirement for Orai1 in store-operated TRPC1-STIM1 channels   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Orai1 and TRPC1 have been proposed as core components of store-operated calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) and store-operated calcium (SOC) channels, respectively. STIM1, a Ca(2+) sensor protein in the endoplasmic reticulum, interacts with and mediates store-dependent regulation of both channels. We have previously reported that dynamic association of Orai1, TRPC1, and STIM1 is involved in activation of store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) in salivary gland cells. In this study, we have assessed the molecular basis of TRPC1-SOC channels in HEK293 cells. We report that TRPC1+STIM1-dependent SOCE requires functional Orai1. Thapsigargin stimulation of cells expressing Orai1+STIM1 increased Ca(2+) entry and activated typical I(CRAC) current. STIM1 alone did not affect SOCE, whereas expression of Orai1 induced a decrease. Expression of TRPC1 induced a small increase in SOCE, which was greatly enhanced by co-expression of STIM1. Thapsigargin stimulation of cells expressing TRPC1+STIM1 activated a non-selective cation current, I(SOC), that was blocked by 1 microm Gd(3+) and 2-APB. Knockdown of Orai1 decreased endogenous SOCE as well as SOCE with TRPC1 alone. siOrai1 also significantly reduced SOCE and I(SOC) in cells expressing TRPC1+STIM1. Expression of R91WOrai1 or E106QOrai1 induced similar attenuation of TRPC1+STIM1-dependent SOCE and I(SOC), whereas expression of Orai1 with TRPC1+STIM1 resulted in SOCE that was larger than that with Orai1+STIM1 or TRPC1+STIM1 but not additive. Additionally, Orai1, E106QOrai1, and R91WOrai1 co-immunoprecipitated with similar levels of TRPC1 and STIM1 from HEK293 cells, and endogenous TRPC1, STIM1, and Orai1 were co-immunoprecipitated from salivary glands. Together, these data demonstrate a functional requirement for Orai1 in TRPC1+STIM1-dependent SOCE.  相似文献

We have reported that internal Ca2+ store depletion in HSY cells stimulates a nonselective cation current which is distinct from I(CRAC) in RBL cells and TRPC1-dependent I(SOC) in HSG cells (Liu, X., Groschner, K., and Ambudkar, I. S. (2004) J. Membr. Biol. 200, 93-104). Here we have analyzed the molecular composition of this channel. Both thapsigargin (Tg) and 2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG) stimulated similar non-selective cation currents and Ca2+ entry in HSY cells. The effects of Tg and OAG were not additive. HSY cells endogenously expressed TRPC1, TRPC3, and TRPC4 but not TRPC5 or TRPC6. Immunoprecipitation of TRPC1 pulled down TRPC3 but not TRPC4. Conversely, TRPC1 co-immunoprecipitated with TRPC3. Expression of antisense TRPC1 decreased (i) Tg- and OAG-stimulated currents and Ca2+ entry and (ii) the level of endogenous TRPC1 but not TRPC4. Antisense TRPC3 similarly reduced Ca2+ entry and endogenous TRPC3. Yeast two-hybrid analysis revealed an interaction between NTRPC1 and NTRPC3 (CTRPC1-CTRPC3, CTRPC3-CTRPC1, or CTRPC1-NTRPC3 did not interact), which was confirmed by glutathione S-transferase (GST) pull-down assays (GST-NTRPC3 pulled down TRPC1 and vice versa). Expression of NTRPC1 or NTRPC3 induced similar dominant suppression of Tg- and OAG-stimulated Ca2+ entry. NTRPC3 did not alter surface expression of TRPC1 or TRPC3 but disrupted TRPC1-TRPC3 association. In aggregate, our data demonstrate that TRPC1 and TRPC3 co-assemble, via N-terminal interactions, to form a heteromeric store-operated non-selective cation channel in HSY cells. Thus selective association between TRPCs generate distinct store-operated channels. Diversity of store-operated channels might be related to the physiology of the different cell types.  相似文献

Although store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) was identified more that two decades ago, understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate and mediate this process continue to pose a major challenge to investigators in this field. Thus, there has been major focus on determining which of the models proposed for this mechanism is valid and conclusively establishing the components of the store-operated calcium (SOC) channel(s). The transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) proteins have been suggested as candidate components of the elusive store-operated Ca(2+) entry channel. While all TRPCs are activated in response to agonist-stimulated phosphatidylinositol 4,5, bisphosphate (PIP(2)) hydrolysis, only some display store-dependent regulation. TRPC1 is currently the strongest candidate component of SOC and is shown to contribute to SOCE in many cell types. Heteromeric interactions of TRPC1 with other TRPCs generate diverse SOC channels. Recent studies have revealed novel components of SOCE, namely the stromal interacting molecule (STIM) and Orai proteins. While STIM1 has been suggested to be the ER-Ca(2+) sensor protein relaying the signal to the plasma membrane for activation of SOCE, Orai1 is reported to be the pore-forming component of CRAC channel that mediates SOCE in T-lymphocytes and other hematopoetic cells. Several studies now demonstrate that TRPC1 also associates with STIM1 suggesting that SOC and CRAC channels are regulated by similar molecular components. Interestingly, TRPC1 is also associated with Orai1 and a TRPC1-Orai1-STIM1 ternary complex contributes to SOC channel function. This review will focus on the diverse SOC channels formed by TRPC1 and the suggestion that TRPC1 might serve as a molecular link that determines their regulation by store-depletion.  相似文献

Mammalian transient receptor potential channels (TRPCs) form a family of Ca(2+)-permeable cation channels currently consisting of seven members, TRPC1-TRPC7. These channels have been proposed to be molecular correlates for capacitative Ca(2+) entry channels. There are only a few studies on the regulation and properties of the subfamily consisting of TRPC4 and TRPC5, and there are contradictory reports concerning the possible role of intracellular Ca(2+) store depletion in channel activation. We therefore investigated the regulatory and biophysical properties of murine TRPC4 and TRPC5 (mTRPC4/5) heterologously expressed in human embryonic kidney cells. Activation of G(q/11)-coupled receptors or receptor tyrosine kinases induced Mn(2+) entry in fura-2-loaded mTRPC4/5-expressing cells. Accordingly, in whole-cell recordings, stimulation of G(q/11)-coupled receptors evoked large, nonselective cation currents, an effect mimicked by infusion of guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate (GTPgammaS). However, depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores failed to activate mTRPC4/5. In inside-out patches, single channels with conductances of 42 and 66 picosiemens at -60 mV for mTRPC4 and mTRPC5, respectively, were stimulated by GTPgammaS in a membrane-confined manner. Thus, mTRPC4 and mTRPC5 form nonselective cation channels that integrate signaling pathways from G-protein-coupled receptors and receptor tyrosine kinases independently of store depletion. Furthermore, the biophysical properties of mTRPC4/5 are inconsistent with those of I(CRAC), the most extensively characterized store-operated current.  相似文献

Ca(2+) signaling regulates many important physiological events within a diverse set of living organisms. In particular, sustained Ca(2+) signals play an important role in controlling cell proliferation, cell differentiation and the activation of immune cells. Two key elements for the generation of sustained Ca(2+) signals are store-operated and receptor-operated Ca(2+) channels that are activated downstream of phospholipase C (PLC) stimulation, in response to G-protein-coupled receptor or growth factor receptor stimulation. One goal of this review is to help clarify the role of canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) proteins in the formation of native store-operated and native receptor-operated channels. Toward that end, data from studies of endogenous TRPC proteins will be reviewed in detail to highlight the strong case for the involvement of certain TRPC proteins in the formation of one subtype of store-operated channel, which exhibits a low Ca(2+)-selectivity, in contrast to the high Ca(2+)-selectivity exhibited by the CRAC subtype of store-operated channel. A second goal of this review is to highlight the growing body of evidence indicating that native store-operated and native receptor-operated channels are formed by the heteromultimerization of TRPC subunits. Furthermore, evidence will be provided to argue that some TRPC proteins are able to form multiple channel types.  相似文献

Adult hippocampal neurogenesis plays an important role in brain function and neurological diseases. Adult neural progenitor cell (aNPC) proliferation is a critical first step in hippocampal neurogenesis. However, the mechanisms that modulate aNPC proliferation have not been fully identified. Ample evidence has demonstrated that cell proliferation is dependent on the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. We hypothesized that store-operated Ca(2+) channels (SOCs), which are ubiquitously expressed in all cell types, participate in aNPC proliferation. We found that store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) was involved in the proliferation of aNPCs and that 2-APB, Gd(3+) and SKF96365, antagonists of SOCE and canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC), respectively, inhibited the increase in SOCE and aNPC proliferation. We therefore analyzed the expression of TRPCs in aNPCs and showed that TRPC1 is the most significantly upregulated member under proliferative conditions. Interestingly, knockdown of TRPC1 and using an antibody against TRPC1 markedly reduced the degree of SOCE and aNPC proliferation. In parallel, we observed the suppression of aNPC proliferation was found to be associated with cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase. Furthermore, gene expression microarray analysis revealed a selective up- or downregulation of 10 genes in aNPCs following TRPC1 silencing. Knockdown of Orai1 or STIM1 also induced a significant inhibition of SOCE and proliferation in aNPCs, and all three proteins were colocalized in the plasma membrane region of cells. Together, these results indicate that SOCE represents a principal mechanism regulating the proliferation of aNPCs and that TRPC1 is an essential component of this pathway. This discovery may be important in improving adult hippocampal neurogenesis and treating cognitive deficits.  相似文献

While the role of members from the TRPC family of channels as receptor-operated channels (ROC) is well established and supported by numerous studies, the role of this family of channels as store-operated channels (SOC) has been the focus of a heated controversy over the last few years. In the present study, we have explored the modulation of STIM1 on human TRPC1 channel. We show that the association of STIM1 to TRPC1 favors the insertion of TRPC1 into lipid rafts, where TRPC1 functions as a SOC. In the absence of STIM1, TRPC1 associates to other members from the TRPC family of channels to form ROCs. A novel TIRFM-FRET method illustrates the relevance of the dynamic association between STIM1 and TRPC1 for the activation of SOC and the lipid raft localization of the STIM1-TRPC1 complex. This study provides new evidence about the dual activity of TRPC1 (forming ROC or SOC) and the partners needed to determine TRPC1 functional fate. It highlights also the role of plasma membrane microdomains and ER-PM junctions in modulating TRPC1 channel function and its association to STIM1.  相似文献

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) requires Ca(2+) influx through store-operated Ca(2+) channels (SOCC) in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMC) and is greater in distal than proximal pulmonary arteries (PA). SOCC may be composed of canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) proteins and activated by stromal interacting molecule 1 (STIM1). To assess the possibility that HPV is greater in distal PA because store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) is greater in distal PASMC, we measured intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and SOCE in primary cultures of PASMC using fluorescent microscopy and the Ca(2+)-sensitive dye fura 2. Both hypoxia (4% O(2)) and KCl (60 mM) increased [Ca(2+)](i). Responses to hypoxia, but not KCl, were greater in distal cells. We measured SOCE in PASMC perfused with Ca(2+)-free solutions containing cyclopiazonic acid to deplete Ca(2+) stores in sarcoplasmic reticulum and nifedipine to prevent Ca(2+) entry through L-type voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels. Under these conditions, the increase in [Ca(2+)](i) caused by restoration of extracellular Ca(2+) and the decrease in fura 2 fluorescence caused by Mn(2+) were greater in distal PASMC, indicating greater SOCE. Moreover, the increase in SOCE caused by hypoxia was also greater in distal cells. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of PASMC and freshly isolated deendothelialized PA tissue demonstrated expression of STIM1 and five of seven known TRPC isoforms (TRPC1 > TRPC6 > TRPC4 > TRPC3 approximately TRPC5). For both protein, as measured by Western blotting, and mRNA, expression of STIM1, TRPC1, TRPC6, and TRPC4 was greater in distal than proximal PASMC and PA. These results provide further support for the importance of SOCE in HPV and suggest that HPV is greater in distal than proximal PA because greater numbers and activation of SOCC in distal PASMC generate bigger increases in [Ca(2+)](i).  相似文献

Activation of phospholipase C (PLC)-linked signaling cascades in nonexcitable cells stimulates Ca2+ release from inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ stores and activation of Ca2+ entry via plasma membrane Ca2+ channels. The attention of investigators is currently focused on the properties and molecular basis of channels involved in Ca2+ entry into nonexcitable cells. According to current views, mammalian TRP proteins are involved in receptor-and store-dependent influx of Ca2+; however, little is known about the linkage between specific TRP proteins and endogenous channels responsible for Ca2+ entry. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the role of TRPC3 in the formation of store-dependent or receptor-operated pathways of Ca2+ entry into A431 cells. Registration of Ca2+ influx based on fluorescence measurements of intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and analysis of integral membrane currents revealed that partial inhibition of TRPC3 expression by small interfering RNA (siRNA) results in suppression of store-dependent Ca2+ entry without any effect on receptor-operated Ca2+ influx. In-depth studies of single channels revealed that TRPC3 suppression in A431 cells results in the disappearance of one type of store-operated channels and formation of a novel type of store-independent Ca2+-permeable channels. This, in turn, testifies to the crucial role of TRPC3 in normal functioning of store-operated Ca2+ channels in A431 cells.  相似文献

TRP family of proteins are components of unique cation channels that are activated in response to diverse stimuli ranging from growth factor and neurotransmitter stimulation of plasma membrane receptors to a variety of chemical and sensory signals. This review will focus on members of the TRPC sub-family (TRPC1-TRPC7) which currently appear to be the strongest candidates for the enigmatic Ca(2+) influx channels that are activated in response to stimulation of plasma membrane receptors which result in phosphatidyl inositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) hydrolysis, generation of IP(3) and DAG, and IP(3)-induced Ca(2+) release from the intracellular Ca(2+) store via inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R). Homomeric or selective heteromeric interactions between TRPC monomers generate distinct channels that contribute to store-operated as well as store-independent Ca(2+) entry mechanisms. The former is regulated by the emptying/refilling of internal Ca(2+) store(s) while the latter depends on PIP(2) hydrolysis (due to changes in PIP(2) per se or an increase in diacylglycerol, DAG). Although the exact physiological function of TRPC channels and how they are regulated has not yet been conclusively established, it is clear that a variety of cellular functions are controlled by Ca(2+) entry via these channels. Thus, it is critical to understand how cells coordinate the regulation of diverse TRPC channels to elicit specific physiological functions. It is now well established that segregation of TRPC channels mediated by interactions with signaling and scaffolding proteins, determines their localization and regulation in functionally distinct cellular domains. Furthermore, both protein and lipid components of intracellular and plasma membranes contribute to the organization of these microdomains. Such organization serves as a platform for the generation of spatially and temporally dictated [Ca(2+)](i) signals which are critical for precise control of downstream cellular functions.  相似文献

TRPC channels as STIM1-regulated store-operated channels   总被引:6,自引:3,他引:3  
Receptor-activated Ca(2+) influx is mediated largely by store-operated channels (SOCs). TRPC channels mediate a significant portion of the receptor-activated Ca(2+) influx. However, whether any of the TRPC channels function as a SOC remains controversial. Our understanding of the regulation of TRPC channels and their function as SOCs is being reshaped with the discovery of the role of STIM1 in the regulation of Ca(2+) influx channels. The findings that STIM1 is an ER resident Ca(2+) binding protein that regulates SOCs allow an expanded and molecular definition of SOCs. SOCs can be considered as channels that are regulated by STIM1 and require the clustering of STIM1 in response to depletion of the ER Ca(2+) stores and its translocation towards the plasma membrane. TRPC1 and other TRPC channels fulfill these criteria. STIM1 binds to TRPC1, TRPC2, TRPC4 and TRPC5 but not to TRPC3, TRPC6 and TRPC7, and STIM1 regulates TRPC1 channel activity. Structure-function analysis reveals that the C-terminus of STIM1 contains the binding and gating function of STIM1. The ERM domain of STIM1 binds to TRPC channels and a lysine-rich region participates in the gating of SOCs and TRPC1. Knock-down of STIM1 by siRNA and prevention of its translocation to the plasma membrane inhibit the activity of native SOCs and TRPC1. These findings support the conclusion that TRPC1 is a SOC. Similar studies with other TRPC channels demonstrate their regulation by STIM1 and indicate that all TRPC channels, except TRPC7, function as SOCs.  相似文献

There is controversy as to whether TRP channels participate in mediating store-operated current (ISOC) and store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). Our recent study has demonstrated that TRPC1 forms heteromeric channels with TRPV4 in vascular endothelial cells and that Ca2+ store depletion enhances the vesicle trafficking of heteromeric TRPV4-C1 channels, causing insertion of more channels into the plasma membrane in vascular endothelial cells. In the present study, we determined whether the enhanced TRPV4-C1 insertion to the plasma membrane could contribute to SOCE and ISOC. We found that thapsigargin-induced SOCE was much lower in aortic endothelial cells derived from trpv4−/− or trpc1−/− knockout mice when compared to that of wild-type mice. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), thapsigargin-induced SOCE was markedly reduced by knocking down the expression of TRPC1 and/or TRPV4 with respective siRNAs. Brefeldin A, a blocker of vesicular translocation, inhibited the SOCE. These results suggest that an enhanced vesicular trafficking of heteromeric TRPV4-C1 channels contributes to SOCE in vascular endothelial cells. Vascular tension studies suggest that such an enhanced trafficking of TRPV4-C1 channels may play a role in thapsigargin-induced vascular relaxation in rat small mesenteric arteries.  相似文献

TRPC1 and TRPC5 form a novel cation channel in mammalian brain   总被引:43,自引:0,他引:43  
TRP proteins are cation channels responding to receptor-dependent activation of phospholipase C. Mammalian (TRPC) channels can form hetero-oligomeric channels in vitro, but native TRPC channel complexes have not been identified to date. We demonstrate here that TRPC1 and TRPC5 are subunits of a heteromeric neuronal channel. Both TRPC proteins have overlapping distributions in the hippocampus. Coexpression of TRPC1 and TRPC5 in HEK293 cells resulted in a novel nonselective cation channel with a voltage dependence similar to NMDA receptor channels, but unlike that of any reported TRPC channel. TRPC1/TRPC5 heteromers were activated by G(q)-coupled receptors but not by depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores. In contrast to the more common view of the TRP family as comprising store-operated channels, we propose that many TRPC heteromers form diverse receptor-regulated nonselective cation channels in the mammalian brain.  相似文献

Prostate smooth muscle cells predominantly express alpha1-adrenoceptors (alpha1-AR). alpha1-AR antagonists induce prostate smooth muscle relaxation and therefore they are useful therapeutic compounds for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms. However, the Ca(2+) entry pathways associated with the activation of alpha1-AR in the prostate have yet to be elucidated. In many cell types, mammalian homologues of transient receptor potential (TRP) genes, first identified in Drosophila, encode TRPC (canonical TRP) proteins. They function as receptor-operated channels (ROCs) which are involved in various physiological processes such as contraction, proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. To date, the expression and function of TRPC channels have not been studied in prostate smooth muscle. In fura-2 loaded PS1 (a prostate smooth muscle cell line) which express endogenous alpha1A-ARs, alpha-agonists epinephrine (EPI), and phenylephrine (PHE) induced Ca(2+) influx which depended on the extracellular Ca(2+) and PLC activation but was independent of PKC activation. Thus, we have tested two membrane-permeable analogues of diacylglycerol (DAG), oleoyl-acyl-sn-glycerol (OAG) and 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (DOG). They initiated Ca(2+) influx whose properties were similar to those induced by the alpha-agonists. Sensitivity to 2-aminoethyl diphenylborate (2-APB), SKF-96365 and flufenamate implies that Ca(2+)-permeable channels mediated both alpha-agonist- and OAG-evoked Ca(2+) influx. Following the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) store depletion by thapsigargin (Tg), a SERCA inhibitor, OAG and PHE were both still able to activate Ca(2+) influx. However, OAG failed to enhance Ca(2+) influx when added in the presence of an alpha-agonist. RT-PCR and Western blotting performed on PS1 cells revealed the presence of mRNAs and the corresponding TRPC3 and TRPC6 proteins. Experiments using an antisense strategy showed that both alpha-agonist- and OAG-induced Ca(2+) influx required TRPC3 and TRPC6, whereas the Tg-activated ("capacitative") Ca(2+) entry involved only TRPC3 encoded protein. It may be thus concluded that PS1 cells express TRPC3 and TRPC6 proteins which function as receptor- and store-operated Ca(2+) entry pathways.  相似文献

The seven mammalian channels from the classical (TRPC) subfamily of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are thought to be receptor-operated cation channels activated in a phospholipase C (PLC)-dependent manner. Based on sequence similarity, TRPC channels can be divided into four subgroups. Group 4 comprises TRPC4 and TRPC5, and is most closely related to group 1 (TRPC1). The functional properties observed following heterologous expression of TRPC4 or TRPC5 in mammalian cells are contradictory and, therefore, controversial. In our hands, and in several independent studies, both channels, probably as homotetramers, form receptor-operated, Ca2+-permeable, nonselective cation channels activated independently of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) receptor activation or Ca2+ store-depletion. As heteromultimers with TRPC1, TRPC4 and TRPC5 form receptor-operated, Ca2+-permeable, nonselective cation channels with biophysical properties distinct from homomeric TRPC4 or TRPC5. In other studies, TRPC4 and TRPC5 have been shown to be store-operated channels, with moderate to high Ca2+ permeabilities. At present there is no clear explanation for these major differences in functional properties. To date, little is known as to which native cation channels are formed by TRPC4 and TRPC5. Endothelial cells from TRPC4(-/-) mice lack a highly Ca2+-permeable, store-dependent current, and data support a role for TRPC4 in endothelium-mediated vasorelaxation. A similar current in adrenal cortical cells is reduced by TRPC4 antisense. From similarities in the properties of the currents and expression of appropriate isoforms in the tissues, it is likely that heteromultimers of TRPC1 and TRPC4 or TRPC5 form receptor-operated nonselective cation channels in central neurones, and that TRPC4 contributes to nonselective cation channels in intestinal smooth muscle.  相似文献
