TRPC5 is abundantly expressed in the central nervous system where it has important neuronal functions. In the chick retina, TRPC5 expression was shown to be restricted to amacrine cells (ACs) and Müller glial cells, although its expression was also observed in the ganglion cell layer (GCL) in displaced ACs, as determined by their characteristic cell morphology. However, it is possible that this expression analysis alone might be insufficient to fully understand the expression of TRPC5 in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Hence, we analyzed TRPC5 expression by in situ hybridization and immunostaining in the developing mouse retina, and for the first time identified that 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: developing and mature RGCs strongly express TRPC5. The expression begins at E14.5, and is restricted to ACs and RGCs. It was reported that TRPC5 negatively regulates axonal outgrowth in hippocampal neurons. We thus hypothesized that TRPC5 might have similar functions in RGCs since they extend very long axons toward the brain, and this characteristic significantly differs from other retinal cell types.

To investigate the functional role of TRPC1 in these neurons and in channel function, we compared current responses to group I metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR I) activation and looked +/+ / for major differences in dendritic morphology in neurons from TRPC1 and TRPC1− − mice. mGluR I stimulation resulted in the activation of a voltage-dependent nonselective cation current in both genotypes. Deletion of TRPC1 resulted in a modification of the shape of the current-voltage relationship, leading to an inward current increase. In current clamp recordings, the percentage of neurons that responded to depolarization in the presence of an mGluR I agonist with a plateau / potential was increased in TRPC1− − mice.

While synaptic and intrinsic cellular mechanisms of persistent firing have been proposed, underlying cellular mechanisms are not yet fully understood. In vitro experiments have shown that individual neurons in the hippocampus and other working memory related areas support persistent firing through intrinsic cellular mechanisms that involve the transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels. Recent behavioral studies demonstrating the involvement of TRPC channels on working memory make the hypothesis that TRPC driven persistent firing supports working memory a very attractive one. However, this view has been challenged by recent findings that persistent firing in vitro is unchanged in TRPC knock out (KO) mice. To assess the involvement of TRPC channels further, we tested novel and highly specific TRPC channel blockers in cholinergically induced persistent firing in mice CA1 pyramidal cells for the first time.

Interestingly, TRP channel subunits can build heterotetramers, whereas heteromeric TRPC1/4, TRPC3/6 and TRPV1/4 are expressed in the lung endothelium and could be targeted as a protec- tive strategy to reduce endothelial permeability in pulmonary inflammation.

Hydrogen sulfde ­(H2S) is involved in diabetes-induced hyperalgesia and allodynia. However, the molecular target through which ­H2S induces hyperalgesia in diabetic animals is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the possible involvement of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in ­H2S-induced hyperalgesia in diabetic rats. Results: Streptozotocin (STZ) injection produced hyperglycemia in rats. Intraplantar injection of NaHS (an exog‑ enous donor of ­H2S, 3–100 µg/paw) induced hyperalgesia, in a time-dependent manner, in formalin-treated diabetic rats. NaHS-induced hyperalgesia was partially prevented by local intraplantar injection of capsazepine (0.3–3 µg/ paw), HC-030031 (100–316 µg/paw) and SKF-96365 (10–30 µg/paw) blockers, at 21 days post-STZ injection. At the doses used, these blockers did not modify formalin-induced nociception. Moreover, capsazepine (0.3–30 µg/paw), HC-030031 (100–1000 µg/paw) and SKF-96365 (10–100 µg/paw) reduced formalin-induced nociception in diabetic rats. Contralateral injection of the highest doses used did not modify formalin-induced finching behavior.

The high resolution structures of TRPC3, TRPC4, TRPC5 and TRPC6 are Cryo-EM discussed. 1. Introduction cryo-EM method does not need protein to be crystallized and only use a few micron liter samples, and has thus greatly facilitate the structure Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) ion channels are determination of membrane proteins, especially the various ion chan- calcium-permeable, nonselective cation (Na+,K+,Ca2+) channels be- nels. Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels, important longing to the TRP superfamily [1–3]. They are expressed in many cell to the cell calcium homeostasis, are among them. Here we summarize types and tissues, including brain, placenta, adrenal gland, retina en- the recent development of the high resolution structure work of TRPC dothelia, testis, and kidney [4], and crucially involved in both the re- ion channels.

  • TRPC6-Dependent Ca2+ Signaling Mediates Airway Inflammation In
    Chen et al. Cell Death and Disease (2020) 11:170 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41419-020-2360-0 Cell Death & Disease ARTICLE Open Access TRPC6-dependent Ca2+ signaling mediates airway inflammation in response to oxidative stress via ERK pathway Qingzi Chen 1,YuboZhou1, Lifen Zhou1, Zhaodi Fu1, Chuntao Yang1, Lei Zhao1,ShuniLi1, Yan Chen1,YousenWu1, Zhenwei Ling2,YufengWang1, Jianrong Huang3 and Jianhua Li1 Abstract Ozone (O3) plays an extremely important role in airway inflammation by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) including hydrogen peroxide, then promoting redox actions and causing oxidative stress. Evidences indicate that TRPC6 (canonical transient receptor potential channel 6) is a redox-regulated Ca2+ permeable nonselective cation channel, but its role in the setting of oxidative stress-related airway inflammation remains unknown. Here, we found that both TRPC6−/− mice and mice pretreated with SAR7334, a potent TRPC6 inhibitor, were protected from O3-induced airway inflammatory responses. In vitro, both knockdown of TRPC6 expression with shRNA and TRPC6 blockage markedly attenuated the release of cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 induced by O3 or H2O2 in 16HBE cells (human bronchial epithelial cell line). Treatment with O3 or H2O2 enhanced TRPC6 protein expression in vivo and vitro. We also 2+ 2+ observed that TRPC6-dependent increase of intracellular Ca concentration ([Ca ]i) was triggered by H2O2, which consisted of the release from intracellular calcium store and the influx of extracellular Ca2+ and could be further strengthened by 6-h O3 exposure in both 16HBE cells and HBEpiCs (primary human bronchial epithelial cells). fi fl 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; Moreover, we con rmed that the activation of MAPK signals (ERK1/2, p38, JNK) was required for the in ammatory response induced by O3 or H2O2 while only the phosphorylation of ERK pathway was diminished in the TRPC6- knockdown situation.
