  • 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.

  • Preclinical Model Systems of Ryanodine Receptor 1-Related Myopathies and Malignant Hyperthermia
    Lawal et al. Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases (2020) 15:113 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13023-020-01384-x REVIEW Open Access Preclinical model systems of ryanodine receptor 1-related myopathies and malignant hyperthermia: a comprehensive scoping review of works published 1990– 2019 Tokunbor A. Lawal1, Emily S. Wires2, Nancy L. Terry3, James J. Dowling4 and Joshua J. Todd1* Abstract Background: Pathogenic variations in the gene encoding the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (RyR1) are associated with malignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptibility, a life-threatening hypermetabolic condition and RYR1- related myopathies (RYR1-RM), a spectrum of rare neuromuscular disorders. In RYR1-RM, intracellular calcium dysregulation, post-translational modifications, and decreased protein expression lead to a heterogenous clinical presentation including proximal muscle weakness, contractures, scoliosis, respiratory insufficiency, and ophthalmoplegia. Preclinical model systems of RYR1-RM and MH have been developed to better understand underlying pathomechanisms and test potential therapeutics. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive scoping review of scientific literature pertaining to RYR1-RM and MH preclinical model systems in accordance with the PRISMA Scoping Reviews Checklist and the framework proposed by Arksey and O’Malley. Two major electronic databases (PubMed and EMBASE) were searched without language restriction for articles and abstracts published between January 1, 1990 and July 3, 2019. Results: Our search yielded 5049 publications from which 262 were included in this review. A majority of variants tested in RYR1 preclinical models were localized to established MH/central core disease (MH/CCD) hot spots. A total of 250 unique RYR1 variations were reported in human/rodent/porcine models with 95% being missense substitutions.

  • RYR1 Gene Ryanodine Receptor 1
    RYR1 gene ryanodine receptor 1 Normal Function The RYR1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called ryanodine receptor 1 ( also called the RYR1 channel). This protein is part of a group of related proteins called ryanodine receptors, which form channels that, when turned on (activated), release positively charged calcium atoms (ions) from storage within cells. RYR1 channels play a critical role in muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles). For the body to move normally, skeletal muscles must tense (contract) and relax in a coordinated way. Muscle contractions are triggered by an increase in the concentration of calcium ions inside muscle cells. RYR1 channels are located in the membrane surrounding a structure in muscle cells called the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This structure stores calcium ions when muscles are at rest. In response to certain signals, the RYR1 channel releases calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the cell fluid. The resulting increase in calcium ion concentration in muscle cells stimulates muscles to contract, allowing the body to move. The process by which electrical signals trigger muscle contraction is called excitation- contraction (E-C) coupling. Health Conditions Related to Genetic Changes Malignant hyperthermia RYR1 gene mutations are the most common genetic risk factor for malignant hyperthermia. Malignant hyperthermia is a severe reaction to particular anesthetic drugs that are often used during surgery and other invasive procedures. The reaction involves a high fever (hyperthermia), a rapid heart rate (tachycardia), muscle rigidity, breakdown of muscle fibers (rhabdomyolysis), and increased acid levels in the blood and other tissues (acidosis). Complications can be life-threatening without prompt treatment.

Academic Editor: Jacopo Sgrignani and Giovanni Grazioso Received: 31 July 2020; Accepted: 30 August 2020; Published: 4 September 2020 Abstract: Cardiac arrhythmias are serious, life-threatening diseases associated with the dysregulation of Ca2+ influx into the cytoplasm of cardiomyocytes. This dysregulation often arises from dysfunction of ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2), the principal Ca2+ release channel. Dysfunction of RyR1, the skeletal muscle isoform, also results in less severe, but also potentially life-threatening syndromes. The RYR2 and RYR1 genes have been found to harbor three main mutation “hot spots”, where mutations change the channel structure, its interdomain interface properties, its interactions with its binding partners, or its dynamics. In all cases, the result is a defective release of Ca2+ ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the myocyte cytoplasm. Here, we provide an overview of the most frequent diseases resulting from mutations to RyR1 and RyR2, briefly review some of the recent experimental structural work on these two molecules, detail some of the computational work describing their dynamics, and summarize the known changes to the structure and function of these receptors with particular emphasis on their N-terminal, central, and channel domains.

  • Chapter One: Introduction
    Identification of Ryanodine Receptor 1 (RyR1) Interacting Protein Partners Using Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry by Timothy Ryan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science Department of Physiology University of Toronto © Copyright by Timothy Ryan 2010 Identification of Ryanodine Receptor 1 (RyR1) Interacting Protein Partners Using Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry Timothy Ryan Master of Science Department of Physiology University of Toronto 2010 Abstract Ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1) is a homotetrameric calcium channel located in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of skeletal muscle. We employed metal affinity chromatography followed by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry from HEK-293 cells to purify affinity tagged cytosolic RyR1, with interacting proteins. In total, we identified 703 proteins with high confidence (>99%). Of the putative RyR1 interacting proteins, five candidates [calcium homeostasis endoplasmic reticulum protein (CHERP), ER-golgi intermediate compartment 53kDa protein (LMAN1), T-complex protein (TCP), phosphorylase b kinase (PHBK) and four and half LIM domains protein 1 (FHL1)], were selected for interaction studies. Immunofluorescence analysis showed that CHERP co- localizes with RyR1 in the SR of rat soleus muscle. Calcium transient assays in HEK293 cells over-expressing RyR1 with siRNA suppressed CHERP or FHL1, showed reduced calcium release via RyR1. In conclusion, we have identified RyR1 interacting proteins in CHERP and FHL1 which may represent novel regulatory mechanisms involved in excitation-contraction coupling. ii Acknowledgments Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Anthony Gramolini. Since I began my work as a Master’s student, Tony has shown me a great deal of support and provided me with all of the resources necessary to succeed in the lab.

  • Ryanodine Receptor 1-Related Myopathies: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches
    Neurotherapeutics (2018) 15:885–899 https://doi.org/10.1007/s13311-018-00677-1 REVIEW Ryanodine Receptor 1-Related Myopathies: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches Tokunbor A. Lawal1 & Joshua J. Todd1 & Katherine G. Meilleur1 Published online: 7 November 2018 # The Author(s) 2018 Abstract Ryanodine receptor type 1-related myopathies (RYR1-RM) are the most common class of congenital myopathies. Historically, RYR1-RM classification and diagnosis have been guided by histopathologic findings on muscle biopsy. Main histological subtypes of RYR1-RM include central core disease, multiminicore disease, core–rod myopathy, centronuclear myopathy, and congenital fiber-type disproportion. A range of RYR1-RM clinical phenotypes has also emerged more recently and includes King Denborough syndrome, RYR1 rhabdomyolysis-myalgia syndrome, atypical periodic paralysis, congenital neuromuscular disease with uniform type 1 fibers, and late-onset axial myopathy. This expansion of the RYR1-RM disease spectrum is due, in part, to implementation of next-generation sequencing methods, which include the entire RYR1 coding sequence rather than being restricted to hotspot regions. These methods enhance diagnostic capabilities, especially given historic limitations of histopath- ologic and clinical overlap across RYR1-RM. Both dominant and recessive modes of inheritance have been documented, with the latter typically associated with a more severe clinical phenotype. As with all congenital myopathies, no FDA-approved treatments exist to date. Here, we review histopathologic, clinical, imaging, and genetic diagnostic features of the main RYR1-RM subtypes. We also discuss the current state of treatments and focus on disease-modulating (nongenetic) therapeutic strategies under development for RYR1-RM. Finally, perspectives for future approaches to treatment development are broached.

  • Transcriptomic Insight Into the Translational Value of Two Murine

Mouse transcriptome data were obtained via RNA‑sequencing of dorsal skin tissues of CBA/J mice afected with contact hypersensitivity (induced by treatment with 1‑chloro‑2,4‑dinitrobenzene) or brush stimulation‑ induced AD‑like skin condition. Human transcriptome data were collected from German, Swedish, and American cohorts of AD patients from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. edgeR and SAM algorithms were used to analyze diferentially expressed murine and human genes, respectively. The FAIME algorithm was then employed to assign pathway scores based on KEGG pathway database annotations. Numerous genes and pathways demonstrated similar dysregulation patterns in both the murine models and human AD. Upon integrating transcriptome information from both murine and human data, we identifed 36 commonly dysregulated diferentially expressed genes, which were designated as a 36‑gene signature. A severity score (AD index) was applied to each human sample to assess the predictive power of the 36‑gene AD signature. The diagnostic power and predictive accuracy of this signature were demonstrated for both AD severity and treatment outcomes in patients with AD. This genetic signature is expected to improve both AD diagnosis and targeted preclinical research. Patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) ofen exhibit an itchy rash, xerosis, skin barrier defects, chronic relapses, and emotional distress, which reduces their quality of life1.
