Abstract
Low levels of oxygen have harmful effects on cells especially in neurons because of their vulnerable status for oxygen consumption. Intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) is accumulated by several kinds of calcium-permeable channels including the Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels. The TRPM7 cation channels are calcium ion (Ca2+) permeable non-selective cation channels belonging to TRP superfamily. The TRPM7 is expressed in different organs of the human body including nervous system components especially in the brain. Some of the TRP channel subtypes are related to oxidative stress and increased oxidative stress triggers channel activity. Recently, TRPM7 cation channels involved in hypoxia. Hence, alterations of [Ca2+]i may be a key factor inTRPM7activity in hypoxia and preventing hypoxic injury of neurons TRPM7 could be a therapeutic target. Therefore, it has been investigated effects of downregulation of TRPM7 cation channels by siRNA applications to induce getting TRPM7 activity down. The role of silencing of TRPM7 cation channels on apoptosis and cell morphology, production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (iROS), mitochondrial membrane depolarization (MMD) levels, enzymatic activity values of caspase 3, 8 and 9 in SH-SY5Y neuronal cells investigated in this study. It has been shown that the downregulation of TRPM7 cation channels may prevent cell death and protect cellular morphology and viability in neuronal cells after chemical hypoxia induction. Decreasing TRPM7 channel activity may also decrease calcium overload and it is a key regulatory function of TRPM7 channels in hypoxic conditions. In conclusion, TRPM7 cation channel antagonists or suppression of the channel expression by genetic manipulations can be a useful and potential therapeutic approach against neuronal hypoxia-related cell death.
期刊介绍:
Started in 1964, this journal publishes original research articles in the following areas: structure-function relationships of biomolecules; biomolecular recognition, protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions; gene-cloning, genetic engineering, genome analysis, gene targeting, gene expression, vectors, gene therapy; drug targeting, drug design; molecular basis of genetic diseases; conformational studies, computer simulation, novel DNA structures and their biological implications, protein folding; enzymes structure, catalytic mechanisms, regulation; membrane biochemistry, transport, ion channels, signal transduction, cell-cell communication, glycobiology; receptors, antigen-antibody binding, neurochemistry, ageing, apoptosis, cell cycle control; hormones, growth factors; oncogenes, host-virus interactions, viral assembly and structure; intermediary metabolism, molecular basis of disease processes, vitamins, coenzymes, carrier proteins, toxicology; plant and microbial biochemistry; surface forces, micelles and microemulsions, colloids, electrical phenomena, etc. in biological systems. Solicited peer reviewed articles on contemporary Themes and Methods in Biochemistry and Biophysics form an important feature of IJBB.
Review articles on a current topic in the above fields are also considered. They must dwell more on research work done during the last couple of years in the field and authors should integrate their own work with that of others with acumen and authenticity, mere compilation of references by a third party is discouraged. While IJBB strongly promotes innovative novel research works for publication as full length papers, it also considers research data emanating from limited objectives, and extension of ongoing experimental works as ‘Notes’. IJBB follows “Double Blind Review process” where author names, affiliations and other correspondence details are removed to ensure fare evaluation. At the same time, reviewer names are not disclosed to authors.
