TRPV3 IS A POLYMODAL RECEPTOR DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Craig K. Colton, B.S. The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Michael X Zhu, Adviser Dr. Tsonwin Hai Adviser Dr. John Oberdick Ohio State Biochemistry Graduate Program Dr. Chien-liang Glenn Lin Dr. Thomas Kasulis ABSTRACT The vanilloid family of transient receptor potential (TRPV) channels contains four thermosensitive members (TRPV1-4), each having a distinguishable temperature threshold (Th). In addition to thermal stimuli, TRPV1, or capsaicin receptor, has been shown to respond to acidic pH, exogenous ligands (capsaicin and resiniferatoxin), and endogenous substances such as anandamide and lipooxygenase products. Furthermore, TRPV1 channel activity is modulated by G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) such as bradykinin (Bk) and purinergic (P2Y) receptors. The polymodal nature of TRPV1 has resulted in the identification of its role in thermal sensation, pain, asthma, urinary incontinence, muscle cramps, and migraine headaches. TRPV3 is the newest member of the thermosensitive TRPV channels. Although TRPV3 has been shown to respond to warm temperatures, it was reported to be unresponsive to low pH and chemical activators of other TRPV family members. Our data shows that TRPV3 is activated by the boron containing compound, 2APB. In addition, we report here that TRPV3 responds to pH 5.6 when overexpressed in HEK293 cells, and that this response is sensitive to PKA. Also, TRPV3 channel activity is modulated by GPCRs such as bradykinin (B2R), histamine (H1R), and purinergic receptors. We also show that the activation of TRPV3 by the B2R is dependant on phospholipase C, arachidonic acid (AA), and depletion of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate from the plasma membrane. Interestingly, we ii show that several other lipid, or lipid-like compounds, modulate TRPV3 channel activity. We also present evidence that TRPV3 is capable of forming heterotetramers with TRPV1. The similarities in the properties of TRPV3 and TRPV1, as well as the ability of TRPV3 to form heterotetramers with TRPV1, suggests that TRPV3 may be involved in many of the same physiological processes as TRPV1. We therefore conclude that TRPV3 is a polymodal receptor, capable of responding to thermal stimuli, GPCRs, acidic pH, as well as lipid or lipid-like agonists, and may be involved in physiological processes similar to TRPV1. iii Dedicated to my parents and sister iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am greatly indebted to my adviser, Mike X.
