TRPC1/5-CaV3 Complex Mediates Leptin-Induced Excitability in Hypothalamic Neurons
Leptin regulates hypothalamic POMC+ (pro-opiomelanocortin) neurons by inducing TRPC (Transient Receptor Potential Cation) channel-mediate membrane depolarization.

Corticolimbic expression of TRPC4 and TRPC5 channels in the rodent brain. [PDF]
The canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels are a family of non-selective cation channels that are activated by increases in intracellular Ca(2+) and G(q)/phospholipase C-coupled receptors.

The photoswitchable cannabinoid azo-HU308 enables optical control of Ca<sup>2+</sup> dynamics in INS-1 β-cells via off-target effects on TRPC channels. [PDF]
Light activation of the photoswitchable cannabinoid ligand azo‐HU308 triggers Ca2+ influx in pancreatic β‐cells through TRPC channels, independent of CB2 cannabinoid receptors. This reveals a non‐GPCR pathway for cannabinoid modulation of β‐cell Ca2+ dynamics and establishes azo‐HU308 as an optical tool to study cannabinoid signaling through TRP ...

Activation of TRPC Cationic Channels by Mercurial Compounds Confers the Cytotoxicity of Mercury Exposure [PDF]
Mercury is an established worldwide environmental pollutant with well-known toxicity affecting neurodevelopment in humans, but the molecular basis of cytotoxicity and the detoxification procedure are still unclear. Here we examined the involvement of the canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channel in the mercury-induced cytotoxicity and the ...

Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome is the most common glomerulopathy in children, with a prevalence of approximately 16 per 100,000 of child population worldwide. Any chronic glomerular disease has the same type of development mechanism. Regardless of the damaging factor, after the death of a significant part of the nephrons, there occurs a steady decrease ...

Kisspeptin Depolarizes Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Neurons through Activation of TRPC-Like Cationic Channels [PDF]
Kisspeptin and its cognate receptor, GPR54, are critical for reproductive development and for the regulation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion. Although kisspeptin has been found to depolarize GnRH neurons, the underlying ionic mechanism has not been elucidated.

Role of phospholipase D and diacylglycerol in activating constitutive TRPC‐like cation channels in rabbit ear artery myocytes [PDF]
Previously we have described a constitutively active Ca2+‐permeable non‐selective cation channel in freshly dispersed rabbit ear artery myocytes that has similar properties to canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channel proteins. In the present study we have investigated the transduction pathways responsible for stimulating constitutive ...

The Role of Canonical Transient Receptor Potential Channels in Seizure and Excitotoxicity
Canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels are a family of polymodal cation channels with some degree of Ca2+ permeability. Although initially thought to be channels mediating store-operated Ca2+ influx, TRPC channels can be activated by ...

BDNF Induces Calcium Elevations Associated WithIBDNF, a Nonselective Cationic Current Mediated by TRPC Channels [PDF]
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has potent actions on hippocampal neurons, but the mechanisms that initiate its effects are poorly understood. We report here that localized BDNF application to apical dendrites of CA1 pyramidal neurons evoked transient elevations in intracellular Ca2+concentration, which are independent of membrane ...

Emerging Roles of Diacylglycerol-Sensitive TRPC4/5 Channels
Transient receptor potential classical or canonical 4 (TRPC4) and TRPC5 channels are members of the classical or canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channel family of non-selective cation channels.
