TRPC Channels and Glioma

2017
Glioma is the most common type of brain tumors and malignant glioma is extremely lethal, with patients' 5-year survival rate less than 10%. Treatment of gliomas poses remarkable clinical challenges, not only because of their particular localization but also because glioma cells possess several malignant biological features, including highly ...

TRPC channels as signal transducers

Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2005
The study of the TRPC cation channels as signal transducers in sensory neurons is in its infancy. Mechanoreceptors that monitor arterial pressure are prime candidates for the involvement of TRPC channels as either primary mechanical transducers or as modulators of the transduction process. Their activity patterns can be regulated by growth factors such

Functional role of TRPC proteins in vivo: lessons from TRPC-deficient mouse models

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2004
In order to elucidate the functional role of TRPC genes, in vivo, the targeted inactivation of these genes in mice is an invaluable technique. In this review, we summarize the currently available results on the phenotype of TRPC-deficient mouse lines.

RNF24, a new TRPC interacting protein, causes the intracellular retention of TRPC

Cell Calcium, 2008
TRPCs function as cation channels in non-excitable cells. The N-terminal tails of all TRPCs contain an ankyrin-like repeat domain, one of the most common protein-protein interaction motifs. Using a yeast two-hybrid screening approach, we found that RNF24, a new membrane RING-H2 protein, interacted with the ankyrin-like repeat domain of TRPC6.

TRPC Channels and Cell Proliferation

2017
TRPCs have been demonstrated to be widely expressed in different cancers. In recent years, a number of studies closely investigated the roles of TRPCs in cancer cells. Most of the results show that both mRNA and protein levels of TRPCs significantly increase in cancer tissues compared with healthy controls.

Trafficking mechanisms and regulation of TRPC channels

Cell Calcium, 2014
TRPC channels are Ca(2+)-permeable cation channels which are regulated downstream from receptor-coupled PIP2 hydrolysis. These channels contribute to a wide variety of cellular functions. Loss or gain of channel function has been associated with dysfunction and aberrant physiology.

The structure of TRPC ion channels

Cell Calcium, 2019
Briefly review the recent structural work of transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) ion channels by using electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM). The high resolution structures of TRPC3, TRPC4, TRPC5 and TRPC6 are discussed.

TRPC Channels: Interacting Proteins

2007
TRP channels, in particular the TRPC and TRPV subfamilies, have emerged as important constituents of the receptor-activated Ca2+ influx mechanism triggered by hormones, growth factors, and neurotransmitters through activation ofphospholipase C (PLC).

TRPC Channels in Pheromone Sensing

2010
Pheromone recognition relies on an amplification cascade that is triggered by pheromone binding to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). The first step in translation of GPCR activation by pheromones in the vomeronasal organ and main olfactory epithelium (MOE) into a cellular response is the activation of a transient receptor potential (TRP) family ...

TRPC Channels and Stroke

2017
TRPC channels play important roles in neuronal death/survival in ischemic stroke, vasospasm in hemorrhagic stroke, thrombin-induced astrocyte pathological changes, and also in the initiation of stroke by affecting blood pressure and atherogenesis. TRPCs' unique channel characters and downstream pathways make them possible new targets for stroke therapy.
