Minimal pore regions bounded by the transmembrane segments M1 or S5 and M2 or S6 were aligned by Clustal X (221) and refined manually for the 143 ion channel members (Appendix); amino acid sequence positions with gaps in the alignment were omitted from the analyses. The pore regions of the fourth homolo- gous domain of NaV and CaV channels, the second domain of TPC, and the first pore regions of the K2P channels were used to assemble the alignment.

  • The Role of Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channels in Ca2þ Signaling
    Downloaded from http://cshperspectives.cshlp.org/ on October 7, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press The Role of Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channels in Ca2þ Signaling Maarten Gees, Barbara Colsoul, and Bernd Nilius KU Leuven, Department of Molecular Cell Biology, Laboratory Ion Channel Research, Campus Gasthuisberg, Herestraat 49, bus 802, Leuven, Belgium Correspondence: [email protected] The 28 mammalian members of the super-family of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are cation channels, mostly permeable to both monovalent and divalent cations, and can be subdivided into six main subfamilies: the TRPC (canonical), TRPV (vanilloid), TRPM (melastatin), TRPP (polycystin), TRPML (mucolipin), and the TRPA (ankyrin) groups. TRP channels are widely expressed in a large number of different tissues and cell types, and their biological roles appear to be equally diverse. In general, considered as poly- modal cell sensors, they play a much more diverse role than anticipated. Functionally, TRP channels, when activated, cause cell depolarization, which may trigger a plethora of voltage-dependent ion channels.

  • 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.

  • Potassium Channels in Epilepsy
    Downloaded from http://perspectivesinmedicine.cshlp.org/ on September 28, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Potassium Channels in Epilepsy Ru¨diger Ko¨hling and Jakob Wolfart Oscar Langendorff Institute of Physiology, University of Rostock, Rostock 18057, Germany Correspondence: [email protected] This review attempts to give a concise and up-to-date overview on the role of potassium channels in epilepsies. Their role can be defined from a genetic perspective, focusing on variants and de novo mutations identified in genetic studies or animal models with targeted, specific mutations in genes coding for a member of the large potassium channel family. In these genetic studies, a demonstrated functional link to hyperexcitability often remains elusive. However, their role can also be defined from a functional perspective, based on dy- namic, aggravating, or adaptive transcriptional and posttranslational alterations. In these cases, it often remains elusive whether the alteration is causal or merely incidental. With 80 potassium channel types, of which 10% are known to be associated with epilepsies (in humans) or a seizure phenotype (in animals), if genetically mutated, a comprehensive review is a challenging endeavor. This goal may seem all the more ambitious once the data on posttranslational alterations, found both in human tissue from epilepsy patients and in chronic or acute animal models, are included. We therefore summarize the literature, and expand only on key findings, particularly regarding functional alterations found in patient brain tissue and chronic animal models.

However, the overall impact of ion channels on tumorigenicity in breast cancer remains controversial. Methods: We conduct microarray meta-analysis on 280 ion channel genes. We identify candidate ion channels that are implicated in breast cancer based on gene expression profiling. We test the relationship between the expression of ion channel genes and p53 mutation status, ER status, and histological tumor grade in the discovery cohort. A molecular signature consisting of ion channel genes (IC30) is identified by Spearman’s rank correlation test conducted between tumor grade and gene expression. A risk scoring system is developed based on IC30. We test the prognostic power of IC30 in the discovery and seven validation cohorts by both Cox proportional hazard regression and log-rank test.

  • A Two-Pore Channel Protein Required for Regulating Mtorc1 Activity On
    Chang et al. BMC Biology (2020) 18:8 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-019-0735-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A two-pore channel protein required for regulating mTORC1 activity on starvation Fu-Sheng Chang1, Yuntao Wang1, Phillip Dmitriev1, Julian Gross2, Antony Galione2 and Catherine Pears1* Abstract Background: Two-pore channels (TPCs) release Ca2+ from acidic intracellular stores and are implicated in a number of diseases, but their role in development is unclear. The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum proliferates as single cells that aggregate to form a multicellular organism on starvation. Starvation is sensed by the mTORC1 complex which, like TPC proteins, is found on acidic vesicles. Here, we address the role of TPCs in development and under starvation. Results: We report that disruption of the gene encoding the single Dictyostelium TPC protein, TPC2, leads to a delay in early development and prolonged growth in culture with delayed expression of early developmental genes, although a rapid starvation-induced increase in autophagy is still apparent. Ca2+ signals induced by extracellular cAMP are delayed in developing tpc2− cells, and aggregation shows increased sensitivity to weak bases, consistent with reduced acidity of the vesicles. In mammalian cells, the mTORC1 protein kinase has been proposed to suppress TPC channel opening. Here, we show a reciprocal effect as tpc2− cells show an increased level of phosphorylation of an mTORC1 substrate, 4E-BP1. mTORC1 inhibition reverses the prolonged growth and increases the efficiency of aggregation of tpc2− cells. Conclusion: TPC2 is required for efficient growth development transition in Dictyostelium and acts through modulation of mTORC1 activity revealing a novel mode of regulation.

Expression of Cx43 in the M2C plasma membrane fraction of S286L-TG was upregulated compared with wild-type rats. Subchronic nicotine administration decreased Cx43 expression of wild-type, but did not affect that of S286L-TG; however, zonisamide (ZNS) decreased Cx43 in both wild-type and S286L-TG. Primary cultured astrocytes of wild-type were not affected by subchronic administration of nicotine but was decreased by ZNS.

Swarbrick6, Helen L. Lutgers1,7, Reginald V. Lord8, Katherine Samaras9,10, Peter L. Molloy 2 & Susan J. Clark 1,3 Adipocytes support key metabolic and endocrine functions of adipose tissue. Lipid is stored in two major classes of depots, namely visceral adipose (VA) and subcutaneous adipose (SA) depots. Increased visceral adiposity is associated with adverse health outcomes, whereas the impact of SA tissue is relatively metabolically benign. The precise molecular features associated with the functional diferences between the adipose depots are still not well understood. Here, we characterised transcriptomes and methylomes of isolated adipocytes from matched SA and VA tissues of individuals with normal BMI to identify epigenetic diferences and their contribution to cell type and depot-specifc function. We found that DNA methylomes were notably distinct between diferent adipocyte depots and were associated with diferential gene expression within pathways fundamental to adipocyte function. Most striking diferential methylation was found at transcription factor and developmental genes. Our fndings highlight the importance of developmental origins in the function of diferent fat depots.
