Temperature-sensitive transient receptor potential channels in corneal tissue layers and cells.
We here provide a brief summary of the characteristics of transient receptor potential channels (TRPs) identified in corneal tissue layers and cells. In general, TRPs are nonselective cation channels which are Ca(2+) permeable. Most TRPs serve as thermosensitive molecular sensors (thermo-TRPs). Based on their functional importance, the possibilities are described for drug-targeting TRP activity...
متن کاملCalcium regulation by temperature-sensitive transient receptor potential channels in human uveal melanoma cells.
Uveal melanoma (UM) is both the most common and fatal intraocular cancer among adults worldwide. As with all types of neoplasia, changes in Ca(2+) channel regulation can contribute to the onset and progression of this pathological condition. Transient receptor potential channels (TRPs) and cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) are two different types of Ca(2+) permeation pathways that can be dysreg...
متن کامل[Pathophysiological roles of transient receptor potential channels in glial cells].
Glial cells are abundant in the CNS and play diverse roles in the regulation of neuronal activity, vascular function, and gliotransmitter release, whereas pathologically activated glial cells have been reported to disturb brain function in conjunction with Ca(2+) signaling, however there is no enough explanation for a unique Ca(2+) entry. Transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily comprises...
متن کاملTransient receptor potential channels and vascular function.
TRP (transient receptor potential) channels play important roles in the regulation of normal and pathological cellular function. In the vasculature, TRP channels are present both in ECs (endothelial cells) and vascular SMCs (smooth muscle cells) and contribute to vasomotor control mechanisms in most vascular beds. Vascular TRP channels are activated by various stimuli, such as mechanical pertur...
متن کاملTransient receptor potential channels in the vasculature.
The mammalian genome encodes 28 distinct members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of cation channels, which exhibit varying degrees of selectivity for different ionic species. Multiple TRP channels are present in all cells and are involved in diverse aspects of cellular function, including sensory perception and signal transduction. Notably, TRP channels are involved in reg...
