Activation of TRPC6 channels is essential for lung ischaemia–reperfusion induced oedema in mice

چکیده
Lung ischaemia-reperfusion-induced oedema (LIRE) is a life-threatening condition that causes pulmonary oedema induced by endothelial dysfunction. Here we show that lungs from mice lacking nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase (Nox2(y/-)) or the classical transient receptor potential channel 6 (TRPC6(-/-)) are protected from LIR-induced oedema (LIRE). Generation of chimeric mice by bone marrow cell transplantation and endothelial-specific Nox2 deletion showed that endothelial Nox2, but not leukocytic Nox2 or TRPC6, are responsible for LIRE. Lung endothelial cells from Nox2- or TRPC6-deficient mice showed attenuated ischaemia-induced Ca(2+) influx, cellular shape changes and impaired barrier function. Production of reactive oxygen species was completely abolished in Nox2(y/-) cells. A novel mechanistic model comprising endothelial Nox2-derived production of superoxide, activation of phospholipase C-γ, inhibition of diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase, DAG-mediated activation of TRPC6 and ensuing LIRE is supported by pharmacological and molecular evidence. This mechanism highlights novel pharmacological targets for the treatment of LIRE.

TLR4 activation of TRPC6-dependent calcium signaling mediates endotoxin-induced lung vascular permeability and inflammation
Lung vascular endothelial barrier disruption and the accompanying inflammation are primary pathogenic features of acute lung injury (ALI); however, the basis for the development of both remains unclear. Studies have shown that activation of transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels induces Ca(2+) entry, which is essential for increased endothelial permeability. Here, we addressed t...
متن کاملThe Role of Transient Receptor Potential Channel 6 Channels in the Pulmonary Vasculature
Canonical or classical transient receptor potential channel 6 (TRPC6) is a Ca2+-permeable non-selective cation channel that is widely expressed in the heart, lung, and vascular tissues. The use of TRPC6-deficient ("knockout") mice has provided important insights into the role of TRPC6 in normal physiology and disease states of the pulmonary vasculature. Evidence indicates that TRPC6 is a key re...

The present study aimed to investigate potential effects of curcumin (CUR) and dexamethasone (DXM) on ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) induced lung injury in rats. Experimental rats were pre-treated with a single i.p. dose of vehicle, CUR (50 mg.kg(-1) or 200 mg.kg(-1)) or DXM (5 mg.kg(-1)), 2 h before anaesthesia and subjected to left lung hilus clamping with 90-min ischaemia followed by 4 h of rep...
متن کاملDiacylglycerol regulates acute hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction via TRPC6
BACKGROUND Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is an essential mechanism of the lung that matches blood perfusion to alveolar ventilation to optimize gas exchange. Recently we have demonstrated that acute but not sustained HPV is critically dependent on the classical transient receptor potential 6 (TRPC6) channel. However, the mechanism of TRPC6 activation during acute HPV remains elusive....
متن کاملAerosolized PGE1, PGI2 and nitroprusside protect against vascular leakage in lung ischaemia-reperfusion.
High permeability oedema is an important feature in lung injury secondary to ischaemia-reperfusion. This study investigated the influence of aerosolized prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), prostaglandin I2 (PCI2) and the nitric oxide (NO)-donor, sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on microvascular barrier function in pulmonary ischaemia-reperfusion. Buffer-perfused rabbit lungs were exposed to 180 or 210 min of wa...
