Interestingly, a growing body of evidence also points towards the prevalence of aberrant Nav expression in malignant tumors, potentially opening a new therapeutic window. In this study, the transcriptional consequences of channel inhibition were investigated in non-small cell lung carcinoma H460 and neuroblastoma SH-SYSY cell lines, that both express Nav1.7. Channel activity was blocked by the application of both selective, ProTx-II, and non-selective, tetrodotoxin, inhibitors. Global gene expression profiling did not point to any statistically significant inhibition-associated perturbation of the transcriptome. A small subset of genes that showed relatively consistent changes across multiple treatments were further assayed in the context of a multiplex bead expression array which failed to recapitulate the changes seen in the global array. We conclude that there is no robust transcriptional signature associated with the inhibition of two sodium channel expressing cancer cell lines and consequently sodium channel inhibition will not lend itself to therapeutic approaches such as transcription-based drug repurposing.","PeriodicalId":9750,"journal":{"name":"Channels","volume":"12 1","pages":"311 - 320"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76673024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, ion channels may also be regulated by numerous factors, including the physiochemical properties of the membrane in which they are embedded. For example, the matching of the bilayer’s hydrophobic region to the hydrophobic external surface of the ion channel is thought to minimize the energetic penalty needed to solvate hydrophobic residues or exposed lipid tails. To understand the molecular basis of such regulation by hydrophobic matching requires examining channels in the presence of the lipid membrane. Here we examine the role of hydrophobic matching in regulating the activity of the model potassium channel, KcsA. 86Rb+ influx assays and single-channel recordings indicate that the non-inactivating E71A KcsA channel is most active in thin bilayers (<diC18:1PC). Bilayer thickness affects the open probability of KcsA and not its unitary conductance. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the bilayer can sufficiently modify its dimensions to accommodate KcsA channels without major perturbations in the protein helical packing within the nanosecond timescale. Based on experimental results and MD simulations, we present a model in which bilayer thickness influences the stability of the open and closed conformations of the intracellular gate of KcsA, with minimal impact on the stability of the selectivity filter of the non-inactivating mutant, E71A.","PeriodicalId":9750,"journal":{"name":"Channels","volume":"26 1","pages":"424 - 439"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79195752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ASIC1a functions as the mediator for cells in nucleus pulposus (NP) and endplate (EP), with whose activation the apoptosis process would be accelerated. Moreover, ASIC1a’s activation could also regulate the anabolism in chondrocytes of EP, facilitating the degeneration. ASIC3 would only promote the degeneration in NP, possibly via its pro-inflammatory effect.

The GABAA β subunit is unique because the β1 and β3 subunits can assemble and traffic to the cell surface as homomers, whereas most of the other subunits, including β2, are heteromers. The intracellular domain (ICD) of the GABAA subunits has been implicated in targeting and clustering GABAA receptors at the plasma membrane. Here, we sought to test whether and how the ICD is involved in functional expression of the β3 subunit. Since θ is the most homologous to β but does not form homomers, we created two reciprocal chimeric subunits, swapping the ICD between the β3 and θ subunits, and expressed them in HEK293 cells. Surface expression was detected with immunofluorescence and functional expression was quantified using whole-cell patch-clamp recording with fast perfusion. Results indicate that, unlike β3, neither the β3/θIC nor the θ/β3IC chimera can traffic to the plasma membrane when expressed alone; however, when expressed in combination with either wild-type α3 or β3, the β3/θIC chimera was functionally expressed. This suggests that the ICD of α3 and β3 each contain essential anterograde trafficking signals that are required to overcome ER retention of assembled GABAA homo- or heteropentamers.","PeriodicalId":9750,"journal":{"name":"Channels","volume":"608 1","pages":"440 - 454"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77021088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study further investigates the role of heteromeric TRPV4/TRPC1 channels in these CaSR-induced vascular responses by comparing responses in mesenteric arteries from wild-type (WT) and TRPC1-/- mice. In WT mice, stimulation of CaSR induced endothelium-dependent relaxations of pre-contracted tone and NO generation in endothelial cells (ECs), which were inhibited by the TRPV4 channel blocker RN1734 and the TRPC1 blocking antibody T1E3. In addition, TRPV4 and TRPC1 proteins were colocalised at, or close to, the plasma membrane of endothelial cells (ECs) from WT mice. In contrast, in TRPC1-/- mice, CaSR-mediated vasorelaxations and NO generation were greatly reduced, unaffected by T1E3, but blocked by RN1734. In addition, the TRPV4 agonist GSK1016790A (GSK) induced endothelium-dependent vasorelaxations which were blocked by RN1734 and T1E3 in WT mice, but only by RN1734 in TRPC1-/- mice. Moreover, GSK activated cation channel activity with a 6pS conductance in WT ECs but with a 52 pS conductance in TRPC1-/- ECs. These results indicate that stimulation of CaSR activates heteromeric TRPV4/TRPC1 channels and NO production in ECs, which are responsible for endothelium-dependent vasorelaxations. This study also suggests that heteromeric TRPV4-TRPC1 channels may form the predominant TRPV4-containing channels in mouse mesenteric artery ECs.

By analyzing the primary amino acid sequences of V-sensor containing proteins, including Hv1, TPC channels and the voltage-sensing phosphatases, we established correlations between the local flexibility and modes of activation for different members of the VGIC superfamily. Taking advantage of the structural information available, we also assessed structural aspects to understand the role played by the flexibility of S3 during the gating of the pore. We found that S3 flexibility is mainly determined by two specific regions: (1) a short NxxD motif in the N-half portion of the helix (S3a), and (2) a short sequence at the beginning of the so-called paddle motif where the segment has a kink that, in some cases, divide S3 into two distinct helices (S3a and S3b). A good correlation between the flexibility of S3 and the reported sensitivity to temperature and mechanical stretch was found. Thus, if the channel exhibits high sensitivity to heat or membrane stretch, local S3 flexibility is low. On the other hand, high flexibility of S3 is preferentially associated to channels showing poor heat and mechanical sensitivities. In contrast, we did not find any apparent correlation between S3 flexibility and voltage or ligand dependence. Overall, our results provide valuable insights into the dynamics of channel-gating and its modulation.","PeriodicalId":9750,"journal":{"name":"Channels","volume":"17 1","pages":"455 - 476"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73507205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, the small molecule edonerpic maleate (1 -{3-[2-(1-benzothiophen-5-yl)ethoxy]propyl}azetidin-3-ol maleate), a candidate therapeutic for Alzheimer’s disease was reported to be a novel CRMP2 binding compound with the potential to decrease its phosphorylation level in cortical tissues in vivo. Here we sought to determine the mechanism of action of edonerpic maleate and test its possible effect in a rodent model of chronic pain. We observed: (i) no binding between human CRMP2 and edonerpic maleate; (ii) edonerpic maleate had no effect on CRMP2 expression and phosphorylation in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons; (iii) edonerpic maleate-decreased calcium but increased sodium current density in DRG neurons; and (iv) edonerpic maleate was ineffective in reversing post-surgical allodynia in male and female mice.

Among them, KCNE1 associates with KCNQ1 channel to confer a slow-activated IKs current, while KCNE2 functions as a dominant negative modulator to suppress the current amplitude of KCNQ1. Any anomaly in these channels will lead to serious myocardial diseases, such as the long QT syndrome (LQTS). Trafficking defects of KCNE1 have been reported to account for the pathogenesis of LQT5. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying KCNE forward trafficking remain elusive. Here, we describe an arginine/lysine-based motif ([R/K](S)[R/K][R/K]) in the proximal C-terminus regulating the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) export of KCNE1 and KCNE2 in HEK293 cells. Notably, this motif is highly conserved in the KCNE family. Our results indicate that the forward trafficking of KCNE2 controlled by the motif (KSKR) is essential for suppressing the cell surface expression and current amplitude of KCNQ1. Unlike KCNE2, the motif (RSKK) in KCNE1 plays important roles in modulating the gating of KCNQ1 in addition to mediating the ER export of KCNE1. Furthermore, truncations of the C-terminus did not reduce the apparent affinity of KCNE2 for KCNQ1, demonstrating that the rigid C-terminus of KCNE2 may not physically interact with KCNQ1. In contrast, the KCNE1 C-terminus is critical for its interaction with KCNQ1. These results contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms of KCNE1 and KCNE2 membrane targeting and how they coassemble with KCNQ1 to regulate the channels activity.","PeriodicalId":9750,"journal":{"name":"Channels","volume":"101 1","pages":"483 - 497"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80548198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
