ATP-induced mitogenesis is mediated by cyclic AMP response element-binding protein-enhanced TRPC4 expression and activity in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells

ATP-induced mitogenesis is mediated by cyclic AMP response element-binding protein-enhanced TRPC4... Extracellular ATP and intracellular cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB, a transcription factor) promote cell proliferation in many cell types. The canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels, which putatively participate in forming store- and receptor-operated Ca2+ channels, have been implicated in the pulmonary vascular remodeling processes. A link between extracellular ATP, CREB activation, and TRPC4 channel expression and activity has not been shown in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC). Long-term (24–48 h) treatment of human PASMC with a low dose (100 μM) of ATP, which did not trigger a transient rise in free cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) when applied acutely to the cells, caused marked increases in CREB phosphorylation and TRPC4 protein expression. The time course indicated that the ATP-mediated CREB phosphorylation preceded TRPC4 upregulation, whereas transfection of a nonphosphorylatable CREB mutant abolished ATP-mediated TRPC4 expression. Furthermore, treatment of human PASMC with ATP also enhanced the amplitude of capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE) induced by passive store depletion, whereas the small interfering RNA specifically targeting TRPC4 attenuated ATP-mediated increases in TRPC4 expression and CCE amplitude and inhibited ATP-induced PASMC proliferation. These data suggest that low-dose ATP exerts part of its mitogenic effect in human PASMC via CREB-mediated upregulation of TRPC4 channel expression and activity and the subsequent increase in CCE and [Ca2+]i. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png AJP Cell Physiology The American Physiological Society

Abstract

Extracellular ATP and intracellular cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB, a transcription factor) promote cell proliferation in many cell types. The canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels, which putatively participate in forming store- and receptor-operated Ca2+ channels, have been implicated in the pulmonary vascular remodeling processes. A link between extracellular ATP, CREB activation, and TRPC4 channel expression and activity has not been shown in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC). Long-term (24–48 h) treatment of human PASMC with a low dose (100 μM) of ATP, which did not trigger a transient rise in free cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) when applied acutely to the cells, caused marked increases in CREB phosphorylation and TRPC4 protein expression. The time course indicated that the ATP-mediated CREB phosphorylation preceded TRPC4 upregulation, whereas transfection of a nonphosphorylatable CREB mutant abolished ATP-mediated TRPC4 expression. Furthermore, treatment of human PASMC with ATP also enhanced the amplitude of capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE) induced by passive store depletion, whereas the small interfering RNA specifically targeting TRPC4 attenuated ATP-mediated increases in TRPC4 expression and CCE amplitude and inhibited ATP-induced PASMC proliferation. These data suggest that low-dose ATP exerts part of its mitogenic effect in human PASMC via CREB-mediated upregulation of TRPC4 channel expression and activity and the subsequent increase in CCE and [Ca2+]i.
