The Mineralocorticoid Receptor Leads to Increased Expression of EGFR
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The mineralocorticoid receptor leads to increased expression of EGFR and T‑type calcium channels that support HL‑1 cell hypertrophy Katharina Stroedecke1,2, Sandra Meinel1,2, Fritz Markwardt1, Udo Kloeckner1, Nicole Straetz1, Katja Quarch1, Barbara Schreier1, Michael Kopf1, Michael Gekle1 & Claudia Grossmann1* The EGF receptor (EGFR) has been extensively studied in tumor biology and recently a role in cardiovascular pathophysiology was suggested. The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is an important efector of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone‑system and elicits pathophysiological efects in the cardiovascular system; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Our aim was to investigate the importance of EGFR for MR‑mediated cardiovascular pathophysiology because MR is known to induce EGFR expression. We identifed a SNP within the EGFR promoter that modulates MR‑induced EGFR expression. In RNA‑sequencing and qPCR experiments in heart tissue of EGFR KO and WT mice, changes in EGFR abundance led to diferential expression of cardiac ion channels, especially of the T‑type calcium channel CACNA1H. Accordingly, CACNA1H expression was increased in WT mice after in vivo MR activation by aldosterone but not in respective EGFR KO mice. Aldosterone‑ and EGF‑responsiveness of CACNA1H expression was confrmed in HL‑1 cells by Western blot and by measuring peak current density of T‑type calcium channels. Aldosterone‑induced CACNA1H protein expression could be abrogated by the EGFR inhibitor AG1478. Furthermore, inhibition of T‑type calcium channels with mibefradil or ML218 reduced diameter, volume and BNP levels in HL‑1 cells. In conclusion the MR regulates EGFR and CACNA1H expression, which has an efect on HL‑1 cell diameter, and the extent of this regulation seems to depend on the SNP‑216 (G/T) genotype. -

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated. -

Dynamic actin-rich protrusions known as invadopodia facilitate this invasive process. Ion channels have also been linked to a pro-invasive phenotype and may contribute to facilitating invadopodia activity in cancer cells. The aim of our study was to screen ion channel-targeting drugs for their cytotoxic efficacy and potential anti-invadopodia properties in glioblastoma cells. We demonstrated that the targeting of ion channels in glioblastoma cells can lead to a reduction in invadopodia activity and protease secretion. -
Ion Channels 3 1
r r r Cell Signalling Biology Michael J. Berridge Module 3 Ion Channels 3 1 Module 3 Ion Channels Synopsis Ion channels have two main signalling functions: either they can generate second messengers or they can function as effectors by responding to such messengers. Their role in signal generation is mainly centred on the Ca2 + signalling pathway, which has a large number of Ca2+ entry channels and internal Ca2+ release channels, both of which contribute to the generation of Ca2 + signals. Ion channels are also important effectors in that they mediate the action of different intracellular signalling pathways. There are a large number of K+ channels and many of these function in different + aspects of cell signalling. The voltage-dependent K (KV) channels regulate membrane potential and + excitability. The inward rectifier K (Kir) channel family has a number of important groups of channels + + such as the G protein-gated inward rectifier K (GIRK) channels and the ATP-sensitive K (KATP) + + channels. The two-pore domain K (K2P) channels are responsible for the large background K current. Some of the actions of Ca2 + are carried out by Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels and Ca2+-sensitive Cl − channels. The latter are members of a large group of chloride channels and transporters with multiple functions. There is a large family of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters some of which have a signalling role in that they extrude signalling components from the cell. One of the ABC transporters is the cystic − − fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that conducts anions (Cl and HCO3 )and contributes to the osmotic gradient for the parallel flow of water in various transporting epithelia. -

In this review, we present an in-depth analysis of microarray-based gene expression profiles available for microdissected mouse distal nephron segments, i.e., the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and the connecting tubule (CNT), and for the cortical portion of the collecting duct (CCD) (Zuber et al., 2009). Classification of expressed transcripts in 14 major functional gene categories demonstrated that all principal proteins involved in maintaining of salt and water balance are represented by highly abundant transcripts. However, a significant number of transcripts belonging, for instance, to categories of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) or serine-threonine kinases exhibit high expression levels but remain unassigned to a specific renal function. -
