Zhang Y, Catalán MA, Melvin JE. TRPV4 activation in mouse submandibular gland modulates Ca influx and salivation. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 303: G1365–G1372, 2012. First published October 18, 2012; doi:10.1152/ajpgi.00366.2012.—Transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 4 (TRPV4) is a ligand-gated nonselective cation channel that participates in the transduction of mechanical and osmotic stimuli in different tissues. TRPV4 is activated by endogenous arachidonic acid metabolites, 4 -phorbol-12,13 didecanoate, GSK1016790A, moderate heat, and mechanical stress. TRPV4 is expressed in the salivary glands, but its expression pattern and function are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional role of TRPV4 channels in the mouse submandibular gland. Using RT-PCR and Western blot analysis, we detected expression of TRPV4 message and protein, respectively, in the submandibular gland. Immunolocalization studies showed that TRPV4 targeted to the basolateral membrane of mouse submandibular gland acinar cells. Pharmacological TRPV4 activation using the selective agonist GSK1016790A caused Ca influx in isolated acinar cells in a basal-to-apical wave. Consistent with these observations, GSK1016790A elicited salivation in the perfused submandibular gland that was dependent on extracellular Ca . In summary, we report that activation of TRPV4 channels induced Ca influx and salivation and, thus, may contribute a novel nonadrenergic, noncholinergic secretion pathway in the mouse submandibular gland.

متن کاملHydrogen peroxide-induced calcium influx in lung microvascular endothelial cells involves TRPV4.
In acute respiratory distress syndrome, both reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increased intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)]i) are thought to play important roles in promoting endothelial paracellular permeability, but the mechanisms linking ROS and [Ca(2+)]i in microvascular endothelial cells are not known. In this study, we assessed the effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on [Ca(2+)]i in mouse and...
متن کاملLocal control of TRPV4 channels by AKAP150-targeted PKC in arterial smooth muscle
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channels are Ca(2+)-permeable, nonselective cation channels expressed in multiple tissues, including smooth muscle. Although TRPV4 channels play a key role in regulating vascular tone, the mechanisms controlling Ca(2+) influx through these channels in arterial myocytes are poorly understood. Here, we tested the hypothesis that in arterial myocyte...
متن کاملCannabinoid receptors in submandibular acinar cells: functional coupling between saliva fluid and electrolytes secretion and Ca2+ signalling.
Cannabinoid receptors (CBRs) belong to the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily, and activation of CBRs in salivary cells inhibits agonist-stimulated salivation and modifies saliva content. However, the role of different CBR subtypes in acinar cell physiology and in intracellular signalling remains unclear. Here, we uncover functional CB(1)Rs and CB(2)Rs in acinar cells of rat submandibular g...
