GABA B Receptors Augment TRPC3-Mediated Slow Excitatory Postsynaptic Current to Regulate
Cerebellar Purkinje Neuron Response to Type-1 Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Activation
Materials and Methods
The temperature of the recording chamber was maintained at approximately 32°C by passing perfusion solution (aCSF) through an in-line heater (Warner Instruments, Hamden, CT, USA) at 3 ml/min driven by a RabbitTM peristaltic pump (Mettler-Toledo Rainin, Oakland , CA, USA). The sEPSC amplitude was measured at the time when the inward current reached a maximum.
Results
Thus, in agreement with the previous study [5], mGluR1 agonist-induced sEPSC in cerebellar Purkinje cells is enhanced by the co-activation of GABABRs. Thus, these results suggest that the activation of GABABRs exerts a pronounced effect on shaping the TRPC3-mediated response of Purkinje cells in the cerebellum to mGluR1 activation.
Discussion
The EPSC is enhanced if GABABRs expressed on the dendrites of the same Purkinje cell are simultaneously activated. Distribution of the mRNA for a metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR1) in the central nervous system: An in situ hybridization study in adult and developing rats.
Emerging Roles of Diacylglycerol-Sensitive TRPC4/5 Channels
DAG-Mediated Activation Mechanism of TRPC4 and TRPC5 Channels
Moreover, the C-terminal NHERF interaction strongly depended on the PKC phosphorylation status of the C-terminal PDZ binding motif “VTTRL” [ 53 ]. The PIP2 cleavage induces a conformational change at the C-terminus of TRPC4 and TRPC5, leading to a dissociation of the NHERF proteins from the C-terminus, thereby eliciting a DAG-sensitive channel conformation.
Physiological and Pathophysiological Roles of NHERF Proteins
Right: receptor activation (not shown) leads to the cleavage of PIP2, resulting in the dissociation of NHERF and in DAG binding, representing the open state of the channel. In addition to the regulatory role of NHERF proteins on TRPC4 and TRPC5 channel function [53], the interaction with NHERF was found to play an important role in the proper function of the CFTR chloride channel [52].
Physiological and Pathophysiological Roles of TRPC4 and TRPC5 Channels
The novel role of the NHERF adapter proteins as dynamic regulators of TRPC4 and TRPC5 channel activity [53,120] could also be important for several other physiological or pathophysiological processes. Therefore, it can be speculated that the inhibitory effect of the NHERF interaction on TRPC4/5 channel function may contribute to various physiological or pathophysiological conditions. However, the effect of the TRPC4/5-NHERF protein complex on tumor growth has remained largely elusive until now.
In addition, the role of the NHERF proteins as dynamic regulators of TRPC4 and TRC5 channel activation sheds new light on the function of ion channels and adapter proteins in multi-protein complexes.
Ion Channels and Transporters in Inflammation
Special Focus on TRP Channels and TRPC6
Elementary Immunology: An Expanding Landscape
Ion channels and transporters influence immune responses [5] mainly by tuning endosomal pH [6–9] and intracellular calcium concentrations, Table 1, Figure 1). Besides the cell surface, ion channels and transporters can also be expressed on intracellular compartments such as phagolysosomes (φ). Immune cells alternatively utilize ion channels and transporters to regulate the unconventional release of cytokines such as IL-1β[29,56,57] or modulate their expression by modifying ion balances in the cell nucleus [58,59].
The many biochemical effects of ion channels and transporters on cell homeostasis ultimately affect the processing of immune stimuli [15].
Multiple Roles for Members of the TRP Channel Family in Inflammation
This is consistent with the evidence of long-term, rather than sudden effects of TRPM7 deletion on leukocytes, with the partial compensatory role of exogenous Mg2+[24] and with the clinical efficacy of MgSO4 in acute allergic reactions.
TRPC6 and Immune Responses
Activation of TRPC6 plays a critical role in controlling key cellular functions in various immune-committed cells, such as neutrophils (panel (A–D)), lymphocytes (panel (E–G)), macrophages (panel (H)) , platelets (panel (I–L)) and the endothelium (panel (A–D,L)). The expression of TRPC6 in T cells promotes cytokine release (F) and cell activation (G), which ultimately translates into more aggressive inflammatory or allergic responses. Platelets express large amounts of TRPC6 and can exploit its activation within ROCE (I,J) or SOCE (K) to undergo activation.
Receptor-directed stimulation of TRPC6 downstream of the thromboxane A2 (TXA2) pathway may be responsible for surface expression of crucial adhesion molecules such as GPIIb-IIIa or P-selectin (J) and for the release of platelet-tight granules (J).

As noted above, early studies have identified Ca2+ influx as the major determinant of sustained fluid secretion from acinar cells in saliva [6]. Activation of TRPV4 induced an increase in fluid secretion, ANO1 activation and a volume decrease in acinar cells by increasing [Ca2+]i.

Role of the TRPM4 Channel in Cardiovascular Physiology and Pathophysiology
Physiological Characteristics of TRPM4 1. TRP Overview
- PIP 2
Due to the structure of TRPM4, Ca2+ sensitivity of TRPM4 can be modulated by ATP, PKC phosphorylation and binding of CaM to the C-terminus [8-11]. It was also reported that TRPM4 currents are acutely eliminated when all the sites predicted to affect ATP binding of the channel carry mutations, suggesting that ATP is involved in maintaining TRPM4's Ca 2+ sensitivity [ 8]. A PKC activator, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), can reduce the half-maximal effective concentration level (EC50) of Ca2+ in TRPM4 from 15 to 4μM [8,74], suggesting that the increased activity of PKC helps enhance the Ca2+ sensitivity of TRPM4 and resist its desensitization.
This suggests that the C-terminal binding site of CaM is essential for the Ca2+ sensitivity of TRPM4 [8,75].
TRPM4 and Cardiovascular Disease 1. TRPM4 and Arrhythmia
In pathological cardiac hypertrophy, Ca2+ entry via SOCs causes activation of the calcineurin-NFAT pathway. At the onset of ischemia, ATP is progressively depleted, which then causes a malfunction of ion pumps, leading to accumulation of intracellular Ca2+, particularly in mitochondria. Ca2+ increase and ATP depletion have also been identified to be involved in TRPM4 activation, and a link between TRPM4 and myocardial IRI has been reported.
In a lipopolysaccharide-treated group, more than 40% of the endothelial cells were apoptotic, while the apoptosis in the TRPM4 inhibition group significantly decreased [139].
Conclusions
Due to research conducted by Gerzanich et al., Becerra et al., and Ding et al., TRPM4 expression can be up-regulated when the vascular endothelium is damaged under a variety of pathological conditions.

The Channel-Kinase TRPM7 as Novel Regulator of Immune System Homeostasis
The Channel-Kinase TRPM7 in Immune Cell Signalling 1. TRPM7 Kinase Regulates Mast Cell Reactivity
Authors concluded that the TRPM7 kinase activity controls murine mast cell degranulation and histamine release independently of TRPM7 channel function [ 32 ]. The role of TRPM7 kinase activity in macrophage or dendritic cell function is much less understood. The impact of TRPM7 kinase activity on T-cell proliferation efficiency, following Ca2+ signaling events, also remains controversial.
TRPM7 kinase is essential for the differentiation of T cells into the pro-inflammatory TH17 cell type and the development of graft-versus-host disease.
TRPM7-Mediated Hematologic and Inflammatory Diseases
Recently, TRPM7 kinase activity was shown to promote intestinal colonization by T cells in acute GVHD. These results reveal a fundamental role of TRPM7 kinase in T cell function and suggest a therapeutic potential of kinase inhibitors in the prevention of acute GVHD.

The final supernatant obtained was used for the pharmacokinetic assessment of menthol in both serum and adipose tissue. No significant change in the levels of metals such as calcium and magnesium was observed at both doses of menthol (Figure 3A,B). Effect of menthol treatment on: (A) Relative expression of energy expenditure genes in 3T3-L1 cells under 1 μM, 10 μM, 30 μM and 50 μM menthol treatment; (B) Relative expression of energy expenditure genes in 3T3-L1 cells treated with 1 μM menthol for 1 h.
Based on these effects, we investigated the effect of menthol on the mitochondrial activity complex genes using PCR arrays (84 gene array).
