Urotensin II Receptor Deletion Mitigates Kidney Injury and Renal Lipid Remodeling in Mice Fed a Long-Term High-Fat Diet. [PDF]
Urotensin II receptor deletion mitigates high‐fat diet‐induced kidney injury and renal lipid remodeling. Male wild‐type (WT) and urotensin II receptor–knockout (UT KO) mice were fed a high‐fat diet (HFD; 60% kcal from fat) for 33 weeks. In cultured mouse podocytes, urotensin II (UII)–UT signaling enhanced transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6)

TRPC6 mediates goblet cell differentiation in COPD [PDF]
Background Goblet cell metaplasia is a pathological feature of airway remodelling in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Basal cell clones with goblet cell metaplasia demonstrate high transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C ...

TRPC6-Mediated Ca2+ Influx Activates MAPK and NFκB Signaling and Elicits Pro-Inflammatory and Catabolic Responses in Human Intervertebral Disc Cells [PDF]
Intervertebral disc degeneration is characterized by inflammation, extracellular matrix breakdown, and neurovascular ingrowth, processes that contribute to discogenic, chronic back pain.

Effects of TRPC6 Inactivation on Glomerulosclerosis and Renal Fibrosis in Aging Rats
Canonical transient receptor potential 6 (TRPC6) channels have been implicated in familial and acquired forms of focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in patients and animal models, as well as in renal fibrosis following ureteral obstruction in ...

TRPC6 governs brown adipose thermogenesis via a BMPR2-p38 MAPK signaling axis [PDF]
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis combats obesity, but mechanisms linking calcium dynamics to thermogenic programming remain incompletely defined.

TRPC6 loss triggers mitochondrial dysfunction that drives white adipose tissue vulnerability to obesity and insulin resistance [PDF]
Calcium signaling is essential for adipocyte function; however, the upstream Ca2+ channels coordinating adipose metabolism remain poorly defined. Here, we identify TRPC6 as a Ca2+ channel enriched in early adipocyte progenitors that orchestrate white ...

Inhibition of TRPC6 channel suppresses bladder cancer proliferation by disrupting store-operated calcium entry [PDF]
Despite its prevalence, bladder cancer (BC) remains an unsolved pathogenesis. It is believed that TRPC6 channels have unique electrophysiological properties that contribute to intracellular Ca2+ signalling and tumorigenesis in cells.

TRPC6 effects on albumin permeation, nephrin shedding, and apoptosis in podocytes: Role of calcineurin and metalloproteases [PDF]
The effects of TRPC6 activation for various periods of time on three classes of functional outputs were examined in cultured podocytes: albumin permeation across a confluent layer; changes in nephrin dynamics; and cell death.

Mutations in TRPC6 are a cause of autosomal dominant focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in humans. Many of these mutations are known to have a gain-of-function effect on the non-specific cation channel function of TRPC6.
