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

The coupling between receptor-mediated Ca2+ store release and the activation of "store-operated" Ca2+ entry channels is an important but so far poorly understood mechanism. The transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of channels contains several members that may serve the function of store-operated channels (SOCs). The 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)pyrazole derivative, BTP2, is a recently described inhibitor of SOC activity in T-lymphocytes. We compared its action on SOC activation in a number of cell types and evaluated its modification of three specific TRP channels, canonical transient receptor potential 3 (TRPC3), TRPC5, and TRPV6, to throw light on any link between SOC and TRP channel function. Using HEK293 cells, DT40 B cells, and A7r5 smooth muscle cells, BTP2 blocked store-operated Ca2+ entry within 10 min with an IC50 of 0.1-0.3 microM. Store-operated Ca2+ entry induced by Ca2+ pump blockade or in response to muscarinic or B cell receptor activation was similarly sensitive to BTP2. Using the T3-65 clonal HEK293 cell line stably expressing TRPC3 channels, TRPC3-mediated Sr2+ entry activated by muscarinic receptors was also blocked by BTP2 with an IC50 of <0.3 microM. Importantly, direct activation of TRPC3 channels by diacylglycerol was also blocked by BTP2 (IC50 approximately 0.3 microM). BTP2 still blocked TRPC3 in medium with N-methyl-D-glucamine-chloride replacing Na+, indicating BTP2 did not block divalent cation entry by depolarization induced by activating monovalent cation entry channels. Whereas whole-cell carbachol-induced TRPC3 current was blocked by 3 microM BTP2, single TRPC3 channel recordings revealed persistent short openings suggesting BTP2 reduces the open probability of the channel rather than its pore properties. TRPC5 channels transiently expressed in HEK293 cells were blocked by BTP2 in the same range as TRPC3. However, function of the highly Ca(2+)-selective TRPV6 channel, with many channel properties akin to SOCs, was entirely unaffected by BTP2. The results indicate a strong functional link between the operation of expressed TRPC channels and endogenous SOC activity.  相似文献

TRPV4 is a widely expressed member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family that facilitates Ca(2+) entry into nonexcitable cells. TRPV4 is activated by several stimuli, but it is largely unknown how the activity of this channel is terminated. Here, we show that ubiquitination represents an important mechanism to control the presence of TRPV4 at the plasma membrane. Ubiquitination of TRPV4 is dramatically increased by the HECT (homologous to E6-AP carboxyl terminus)-family ubiquitin ligase AIP4 without inducing degradation of this channel. Instead, AIP4 promotes the endocytosis of TRPV4 and decreases its amount at the plasma membrane. Consequently, the basal activity of TRPV4 is reduced despite an overall increase in TRPV4 levels. This mode of regulation is not limited to TRPV4. TRPC4, another member of the TRP channel family, is also strongly ubiquitinated in the presence of AIP4, leading to the increased intracellular localization of TRPC4 and the reduction of its basal activity. However, ubiquitination of several other TRP channels is not affected by AIP4, demonstrating that AIP4-mediated regulation is a unique property of select TRP channels.  相似文献

Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchangers (NCXs) and members of the canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels play an important role in Ca(2+) homeostasis in heart and brain. With respect to their overlapping expression and their role as physiological Ca(2+) influx pathways a functional discrimination of both mechanisms seems to be necessary. Here, the effect of the reverse-mode NCX inhibitor KB-R7943 was investigated on different TRPC channels heterologously expressed in HEK293 cells. In patch-clamp recordings KB-R7943 potently blocked currents through TRPC3 (IC(50)=0.46 microM), TRPC6 (IC(50)=0.71 microM), and TRPC5 (IC(50)=1.38 microM). 1-Oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol-induced Ca(2+) entry was nearly completely suppressed by 10 microM KB-R7943 in TRPC6-transfected cells. Thus, KB-R7943 is able to block receptor-operated TRP channels at concentrations which are equal or below those required to inhibit reverse-mode NCX activity. These data further suggest that the protective effects of KB-R7943 in ischemic tissue may, at least partly, be due to inhibition of TRPC channels.  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

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

Cognitive impairment and emotional disturbances in Alzheimer's disease (AD) result from the degeneration of synapses and neuronal death in the limbic system and associated regions of the cerebral cortex. An alteration in the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) results in increased production and accumulation of amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) in the brain. Abeta can render neurons vulnerable to excitotoxicity and apoptosis by disruption of cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis and neurotoxic factors including reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO), and cytokines. Many lines of evidence have suggested that transient receptor potential (TRP) channels consisting of six main subfamilies termed the TRPC (canonical), TRPV (vanilloid), TRPM (melastatin), TRPP (polycystin), TRPML (mucolipin), and TRPA (ankyrin) are involved in Ca(2+) homeostasis disruption. Thus, emerging evidence of the pathophysiological role of TRP channels has yielded promising candidates for molecular entities mediating Ca(2+) homeostasis disruption in AD. In this review, we focus on the TRP channels in AD and highlight some TRP "suspects" for which a role in AD can be anticipated. An understanding of the involvement of TRP channels in AD may lead to the development of new target therapies.  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

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels of the TRPV, TRPA, and TRPM subfamilies play important roles in somatosensation including nociception. While particularly the Thermo TRPs have been extensively investigated in sensory neurons, the relevance of the subclass of "canonical" TRPC channels in primary afferents is yet elusive. In the present study, we investigated the presence and contribution to Ca(2+) transients of TRPC channels in dorsal root ganglion neurons. We found that six of the seven known TRPC subtypes were expressed in lumbar DRG, with TRPC1, C3, and C6 being the most abundant. Microfluorimetric calcium measurements showed Ca(2+) influx induced by oleylacylglycerol (OAG), an activator of the TRPC3/C6/C7 subgroup. Furthermore, OAG induced rises in [Ca(2+)](i) were inhibited by SKF96365, an inhibitor of receptor and store operated calcium channel. OAG induced calcium transients were also inhibited by blockers of diacylglycerol (DAG) lipase, lipoxygenase or cyclooxygenase and, intriguingly, by inhibitors of the capsaicin receptor TRPV1. Notably, SKF96365 did not affect capsaicin-induced calcium transients. Taken together, our findings suggest that TRPC are functionally expressed in subpopulations of DRG neurons. These channels, along with TRPV1, contribute to calcium homeostasis in rat sensory neurons.  相似文献

Odontoblasts are involved in the transduction of stimuli applied to exposed dentin. Although expression of thermo/mechano/osmo-sensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) channels has been demonstrated, the properties of TRP vanilloid 1 (TRPV1)-mediated signaling remain to be clarified. We investigated physiological and pharmacological properties of TRPV1 and its functional coupling with cannabinoid (CB) receptors and Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchangers (NCXs) in odontoblasts. Anandamide (AEA), capsaicin (CAP), resiniferatoxin (RF) or low-pH evoked Ca(2+) influx. This influx was inhibited by capsazepine (CPZ). Delay in time-to-activation of TRPV1 channels was observed between application of AEA or CAP and increase in [Ca(2+)](i). In the absence of extracellular Ca(2+), however, an immediate increase in [Ca(2+)](i) was observed on administration of extracellular Ca(2+), followed by activation of TRPV1 channels. Intracellular application of CAP elicited inward current via opening of TRPV1 channels faster than extracellular application. With extracellular RF application, no time delay was observed in either increase in [Ca(2+)](i) or inward current, indicating that agonist binding sites are located on both extra- and intracellular domains. KB-R7943, an NCX inhibitor, yielded an increase in the decay time constant during TRPV1-mediated Ca(2+) entry. Increase in [Ca(2+)](i) by CB receptor agonist, 2-arachidonylglycerol, was inhibited by CB1 receptor antagonist or CPZ, as well as by adenylyl cyclase inhibitor. These results showed that TRPV1-mediated Ca(2+) entry functionally couples with CB1 receptor activation via cAMP signaling. Increased [Ca(2+)](i) by TRPV1 activation was extruded by NCXs. Taken together, this suggests that cAMP-mediated CB1-TRPV1 crosstalk and TRPV1-NCX coupling play an important role in driving cellular functions following transduction of external stimuli to odontoblasts.  相似文献

Extracellular pH has long been known to affect the rate and magnitude of ion transport processes among others via regulation of ion channel activity. The Ca(2+)-selective transient receptor potential vanilloid 5 (TRPV5) channel constitutes the apical entry gate in Ca(2+)-transporting cells, contributing significantly to the overall Ca(2+) balance. Here, we demonstrate that extracellular pH determines the cell surface expression of TRPV5 via a unique mechanism. By a comprehensive approach using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, cell surface protein labeling, electrophysiology, (45)Ca(2+) uptake assays, and functional channel recovery after chemobleaching, this study shows that upon extracellular alkalinization, a pool of TRPV5-containing vesicles is rapidly recruited to the cell surface without collapsing into the plasma membrane. These vesicles contain functional TRPV5 channels since extracellular alkalinization is accompanied by increased TRPV5 activity. Conversely, upon subsequent extracellular acidification, vesicles are retrieved from the plasma membrane, simultaneously resulting in decreased TRPV5 activity. Thus, TRPV5 accesses the extracellular compartment via transient openings of vesicles, suggesting that rapid responses of constitutive active TRP channels to physiological stimuli rely on vesicular "kiss and linger" interactions with the plasma membrane.  相似文献

The transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) cation channel, a member of the TRP vanilloid subfamily, is expressed in a broad range of tissues. Nitric oxide (NO) as a gaseous signal mediator shows a variety of important biological effects. In many instances, NO has been shown to exhibit its activities via a protein S-nitrosylation mechanism in order to regulate its protein functions. With functional assays via site-directed mutagenesis, we demonstrate herein that NO induces the S-nitrosylation of TRPV4 Ca(2+) channel on the Cys(853) residue, and the S-nitrosylation of Cys(853) reduced its channel sensitivity to 4-α phorbol 12,13-didecanoate and the interaction between TRPV4 and calmodulin. A patch clamp experiment and Ca(2+) image analysis show that the S-nitrosylation of Cys(853) modulates the TRPV4 channel as an inhibitor. Thus, our data suggest a novel regulatory mechanism of TRPV4 via NO-mediated S-nitrosylation on its Cys(853) residue.  相似文献

Role and regulation of TRP channels in neutrophil granulocytes   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
Heiner I  Eisfeld J  Lückhoff A 《Cell calcium》2003,33(5-6):533-540
Members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family for which mRNA can be demonstrated in neutrophil granulocytes with RT-PCR include TRPC6 (as only "short" TRP), TRPM2, TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV5 and TRPV6. When these are analyzed in heterologous overexpression experiments, TRPM2 is the only cation channel with characteristic properties that can be used as fingerprint to provide functional evidence for its expression in neutrophil granulocytes. As cells transfected with TRPM2, neutrophil granulocytes display non-selective cation currents and typical channel activity evoked by intracellular ADP-ribose and NAD. Thus, stimulation of TRPM2 is likely to occur after activation of CD38 (producing ADP-ribose) and during the oxidative burst (enhancing the NAD concentration). This novel mode of cation entry regulation may be of particular importance for the response of granulocytes to chemoattractants. TRPV6 is a likely but not exclusive candidate as subunit of the channels mediating store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). Evidence for SOCE in granulocytes has been presented with the fura-2 technique but not with electrophysiological methods although Ca2+-selective store-operated currents can be demonstrated in HL-60 cells, a cell culture model of neutrophil granulocytes.  相似文献

The mechanism for coupling between Ca(2+) stores and store-operated channels (SOCs) is an important but unresolved question. Although SOCs have not been molecularly identified, transient receptor potential (TRP) channels share a number of operational parameters with SOCs. The question of whether activation of SOCs and TRP channels is mediated by the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) was examined using the permeant InsP(3)R antagonist, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) in both mammalian and invertebrate systems. In HEK293 cells stably transfected with human TRPC3 channels, the actions of 2-APB to block carbachol-induced InsP(3)R-mediated store release and carbachol-induced Sr(2+) entry through TRPC3 channels were both reversed at high agonist levels, suggesting InsP(3)Rs mediate TRPC3 activation. However, electroretinogram recordings of the light-induced current in Drosophila revealed that the TRP channel-mediated responses in wild-type as well as trp and trpl mutant flies were all inhibited by 2-APB. This action of 2-APB is likely InsP(3)R-independent since InsP(3)Rs are dispensable for the light response. We used triple InsP(3)R knockout DT40 chicken B-cells to further assess the role of InsP(3)Rs in SOC activation. (45)Ca(2+) flux analysis revealed that although DT40 wild-type cells retained normal InsP(3)Rs mediating 2-APB-sensitive Ca(2+) release, the DT40InsP(3)R-k/o cells were devoid of functional InsP(3)Rs. Using intact cells, all parameters of Ca(2+) store function and SOC activation were identical in DT40wt and DT40InsP(3)R-k/o cells. Moreover, in both cell lines SOC activation was completely blocked by 2-APB, and the kinetics of action of 2-APB on SOCs (time dependence and IC(50)) were identical. The results indicate that (a) the action of 2-APB on Ca(2+) entry is not mediated by the InsP(3)R and (b) the effects of 2-APB provide evidence for an important similarity in the function of invertebrate TRP channels, mammalian TRP channels, and mammalian store-operated channels.  相似文献

Rapid vesicular translocation and insertion of TRP channels   总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17  
The broadly expressed transient receptor potential (TRP) family of ion channels are permeant to cations, most resulting in increased intracellular calcium. However, their regulation and gating is not well understood. Here, we report that growth factor stimulation initiates the rapid translocation of the transient receptor potential ion channel, TRPC5, from vesicles held in reserve just under the plasma membrane. This process, which we term 'rapid vesicular insertion of TRP' (RiVIT), dramatically increases membrane-associated TRPC5 channels and functional TRPC5 current, resulting in tight spatial-temporal control of these Ca(2+)-permeant nonselective channels. Epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced incorporation of functional TRP channels requires phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI(3)K), the Rho GTPase Rac1 and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP(5)K alpha). The increase in TRPC5 availability affects neurite extension rates in cultured hippocampal neurons, and may be a general mechanism for initiating Ca(2+) influx and cell morphological changes in response to stimuli.  相似文献

Mammalian TRP channel proteins form six-transmembrane cation-permeable channels that may be grouped into six subfamilies on the basis of amino acid sequence homology (TRPC, TRPV, TRPM, TRPA, TRPP, and TRPML). Recent studies of TRP channels indicate that they are involved in numerous fundamental cell functions and are considered to play an important role in the pathophysiology of many diseases. Many TRPs are expressed in kidney along different parts of the nephron and growing evidence suggest that these channels are involved in hereditary, as well as acquired kidney disorders. TRPC6, TRPM6, and TRPP2 have been implicated in hereditary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia (HSH), and polycystic kidney disease (PKD), respectively. In addition, the highly Ca(2+)-selective channel, TRPV5, contributes to several acquired mineral (dys)regulation, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), acid-base disorders, diuretics, immunosuppressant agents, and vitamin D analogues-associated Ca(2+) imbalance whereas TRPV4 may function as an osmoreceptor in kidney and participate in the regulation of sodium and water balance. This review presents an overview of the current knowledge concerning the distribution of TRP channels in kidney and their possible roles in renal physiology and kidney diseases.  相似文献

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels form a large family of plasma membrane cation channels. Mammalian members of the "short" TRP family (TRP channel (TRPC) 1-7 are Ca(2+)-permeant, non-selective cation channels that are widely expressed in various cell types, including neurons. TRPC activity is linked through unknown mechanisms to G-protein-coupled receptors or receptor tyrosine kinases that activate phospholipase C. To investigate the properties and function of TRPC4 in neuronally derived cells, we transiently expressed mouse TRPC4 and histamine H(1) receptor in mouse adrenal chromaffin cells and PC12 cells. Histamine, but not thapsigargin, stimulated Mn(2+) influx in transfected cells. In the whole-cell patch clamp mode, histamine triggered a transient current in TRPC4-expressing cells. No current was evoked by perfusion with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. When exocytosis was monitored with the capacitance detection technique, the magnitude of the membrane capacitance increase (Delta C(m)) on application of histamine in H(1) receptor/TRPC4-expressing chromaffin cells was comparable with that triggered by a train of depolarizing pulses. Our results indicate that TRPC4 channels behave as receptor, but not store-operated, channels in neuronally derived cells. TRPC4 channels can provide sufficient Ca(2+) influx to trigger a robust secretory response in voltage-clamped neurosecretory cells. Similar mechanisms may modulate exocytosis in other neuronal systems.  相似文献

Endothelial cells produce various factors that regulate vascular tone, vascular permeability, angiogenesis, and inflammatory responses. The dysfunction of endothelial cells is believed to be the major culprit in various cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart and renal failure, coronary syndrome, thrombosis, and diabetes. Endothelial cells express multiple transient receptor potential (TRP) channel isoforms, the activity of which serves to modulate cytosolic Ca(2+) levels ([Ca(2+)](i)) and regulate membrane potential, both of which affect various physiological processes. The malfunction and dysregulation of TRP channels is associated with endothelial dysfunction, which is reflected by decreased nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, inappropriate regulation of vascular smooth muscle tonicity, endothelial barrier dysfunction, increased oxidative damage, impaired anti-thrombogenic properties, and perturbed angiogenic competence. Evidence suggests that dysregulation of TRPC4 and -C1 results in vascular endothelial barrier dysfunction; malfunction of TRPP1 and -P2 impairs endothelial NO synthase; the reduced expression or activity of TRPC4 and -V1 impairs agonist-induced vascular relaxation; the decreased activity of TRPV4 reduces flow-induced vascular responses; and the activity of TRPC3 and -C4 is associated with oxidative stress-induced endothelial damage. In this review, we present a comprehensive summary of the literature on the role of TRP channels in endothelial cells, with an emphasis on endothelial dysfunction.  相似文献
