Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders. Neuroinflammation involving the activation of microglia and astrocytes constitutes an important and common mechanism in epileptogenesis.

TRPM2 ion channels steer neutrophils towards a source of hydrogen peroxide
Neutrophils must navigate accurately towards pathogens in order to destroy invaders and thus defend our bodies against infection. Here we show that hydrogen peroxide, a potent neutrophil chemoattractant, guides chemotaxis by activating calcium-permeable ...

The TRP ion channel TRPM2 has an essential function in cell survival and protects the viability of a number of cell types after oxidative stress. It is highly expressed in many cancers including breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancer, melanoma, leukemia, and neuroblastoma, suggesting it promotes cancer cell survival.

Atherosclerosis is the major cause of ischemic heart disease and stroke, the leading causes of mortality worldwide. The central pathological features of atherosclerosis include macrophage infiltration and foam cell formation. However, the detailed mechanisms regulating these two processes remain unclear. Here we show that oxidative stress-activated Ca2+

TRPM2 deficiency protects against atherosclerosis by inhibiting TRPM2-CD36 inflammatory axis in macrophages [PDF]
ABSTRACT Atherosclerosis is the major cause of ischemic heart diseases and ischemic brain stroke, which are the leading causes of mortality worldwide. The central pathological features of atherosclerosis include macrophage infiltration and foam cell formation.

TRPM2 Channel-Mediated Signalling Mechanisms for Neuronal Cell Death [PDF]
Transient receptor potential melastatin-related 2 (TRPM2) channel is gated by ADP-ribose (ADPR) and potently activated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) through stimulating ADPR-generating mechanisms. Recent studies provide evidence to show a crucial role

Role of TRPM2 in H(2)O(2)-induced cell apoptosis in endothelial cells. [PDF]
Melastatin-like transient receptor potential channel 2 (TRPM2) is an oxidant-sensitive and cationic non-selective channel that is expressed in mammalian vascular endothelium. Here we investigated the functional role of TRPM2 channels in hydrogen peroxide
