Holderby KG, Kozak JA. Use of tetraethylammonium (TEA) and Tris loading for blocking TRPM7 channels in intact cells. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1341799. [PMID: 38659572 PMCID: PMC11039802 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1341799] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Tetraethylammonium (TEA), a quaternary ammonium compound, is a well-known blocker of potassium channels belonging to various subfamilies, such as KV1-3, KCa1, 2 and prokaryotic KcsA. In many cases, TEA acts from the extracellular side by open pore blockade. TEA can also block transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channels, such as TRPM7, in a voltage-dependent manner. In human T lymphocytes, intracellular (cytosolic) TEA and its analog TMA (tetramethylammonium) inhibit TRPM7 channel currents in the outward but not inward direction. By contrast, intracellular Mg2+, protons and polyamines inhibit both outward and inward current components equally. Likewise, the majority of available pharmacological tools inhibit TRPM7 channels in a voltage-independent manner. Since TRPM7 is a steeply outwardly rectifying conductance, voltage-dependent blockers can be useful for studying the cellular functions of this channel. TRPM7 protein is endogenously expressed in diverse cell lines, including HEK, HeLa, CHO, RBL and Jurkat. Using patch-clamp electrophysiology, we found that incubating HEK293 and Jurkat T cells overnight in the presence of 20 mM TEA-Cl, resulted in the nearly complete blockade of whole-cell TRPM7 outward current, measured at break-in. By contrast, the inward current was unchanged in TEA-loaded cells. The blockade was fully reversible after washout of intracellular solution in whole-cell but not in perforated-patch recording configurations. Overnight incubation with 20 mM TMA-Cl resulted in a more modest blockade of the outward TRPM7 current. Internal 129 mM TMA and TEA eliminated most of the outward current. TEA uptake in transfected HEK293 cells led to blockade of recombinant murine TRPM7 and the Mg2+ and pH insensitive Ser1107Arg variant. Unexpectedly, Tris-HCl, a widely used pH buffer, could similarly be loaded into Jurkat and HEK cells, and preferentially blocked outward TRPM7 currents. 20 mM and 129 mM Tris in the internal solution blocked TRPM7 current in outward but not inward direction. Voltage-dependent channel blockade by TEA, TMA and Tris loading will be useful for studying the properties and functions of TRPM7-mediated ion transport in intact cells.

Abstract
After spinal cord injury (SCI), secondary injuries including blood cells infiltration followed by the production of inflammatory mediators are led by blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) breakdown. Therefore, preventing BSCB damage could alleviate the secondary injury progresses after SCI. Recently, we reported that transient receptor potential melastatin 7 channel (TRPM7) expression is increased in vascular endothelial cells after injury and thereby mediates BSCB disruption. However, the mechanism by which TRPM7 regulates BSCB disruption has not been examined yet. In current research, we show that TRPM7 mediates BSCB disruption via mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway after SCI in rats. After contusion injury at T9 level of spinal cord, mTOR pathway was activated in the endothelial cells of blood vessels and TRPM7 was involved in the activation of mTOR pathway. BSCB disruption, MMP-2/9 activation, and blood cell infiltration after injury were alleviated by rapamycin, a mTOR signaling inhibitor. Rapamycin also conserved the level of tight junction proteins, which were decreased after SCI. Furthermore, mTOR pathway regulated the expression and activation of histone H3K27 demethylase JMJD3, known as a key epigenetic regulator mediating BSCB damage after SCI. In addition, rapamycin inhibited JMJD3 expression, the loss of tight junction molecules, and MMP-2/9 expression in bEnd.3, a brain endothelial cell line, after oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation. Thus, our results suggest that TRPM7 contributes to the BSCB disruption by regulating JMJD3 expression through the mTOR pathway after SCI.

Abstract
This review summarizes the current understanding of the role of transient receptor potential melastatin-subfamily member 7 (TRPM7) channels in the pathophysiology of neoplastic diseases. The TRPM family represents the largest and most diverse group in the TRP superfamily. Its subtypes are expressed in virtually all human organs playing a central role in (patho)physiological events. The TRPM7 protein (along with TRPM2 and TRPM6) is unique in that it has kinase activity in addition to the channel function. Numerous studies demonstrate the role of TRPM7 chanzyme in tumorigenesis and in other tumor hallmarks such as proliferation, migration, invasion and metastasis. Here we provide an up-to-date overview about the possible role of TRMP7 in a broad range of malignancies such as tumors of the nervous system, head and neck cancers, malignant neoplasms of the upper gastrointestinal tract, colorectal carcinoma, lung cancer, neoplasms of the urinary system, breast cancer, malignant tumors of the female reproductive organs, prostate cancer and other neoplastic pathologies. Experimental data show that the increased expression and/or function of TRPM7 are observed in most malignant tumor types. Thus, TRPM7 chanzyme may be a promising target in tumor therapy.

Abstract
An altered thrombo-hemorrhagic profile has long been observed in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). We hypothesized that this observed clinical phenotype may result from altered expression of genes known to harbor genetic variants in bleeding, thrombotic, or platelet disorders. Here, we identify 32 genes from a clinically validated gene panel that were also significantly differentially expressed in platelets from MPN patients as opposed to healthy donors. This work begins to unravel previously unclear mechanisms underlying an important clinical reality in MPNs. Knowledge of altered platelet gene expression in MPN thrombosis/bleeding diathesis opens opportunities to advance clinical care by: (1) enabling risk stratification, in particular, for patients undergoing invasive procedures, and (2) facilitating tailoring of treatment strategies for those at highest risk, for example, in the form of antifibrinolytics, desmopressin or platelet transfusions (not current routine practice). Marker genes identified in this work may also enable prioritization of candidates in future MPN mechanistic as well as outcome studies.

Abstract
Ethanol (EtOH) exerts its effects through various protein targets, including transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) channels, which play an essential role in cellular homeostasis. We demonstrated that TRPM7 is expressed in rat brain microvascular endothelial cells (rBMVECs), the major cellular component of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Heavy alcohol drinking is often associated with HIV infection, however mechanisms underlying alcohol-induced BBB damage and HIV proteins, are not fully understood. We utilized the HIV-1 transgenic (HIV-1Tg) rat to mimic HIV-1 patients on combination anti-retroviral therapy (cART) and demonstrated TRPM7 expression in rBMVECs wass lower in adolescent HIV-1Tg rats compared to control animals, however control and HIV-1Tg rats expressed similar levels at 9 weeks, indicating persistent presence of HIV-1 proteins delayed TRPM7 expression. Binge exposure to EtOH (binge EtOH) decreased TRPM7 expression in control rBMVECs in a concentration-dependent manner, and abolished TRPM7 expression in HIV-1Tg rats. In human BMVECs (hBMVECs), TRPM7 expression was downregulated after treatment with EtOH, HIV-1 proteins, and in combination. Next, we constructed in vitro BBB models using BMVECs and found TRPM7 antagonists enhanced EtOH-mediated BBB integrity changes. Our study demonstrated alcohol decreased TRPM7 expression, whereby TRPM7 could be involved in the mechanisms underlying BBB alcohol-induced damage in HIV-1 patients on cART.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common female tumors arising worldwide, and genetic and epigenetic events are constantly accumulated in breast tumorigenesis. The melastatin-related transient receptor potential 7 channel (TRPM7) is a nonselective cation channel, mainly maintaining Zn2+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ homeostasis. It is also involved in regulating proliferation and migration in various cancers including breast cancer. However, epigenetic alterations (such as promoter methylation) of TRPM7 and their correlation with clinical outcomes in breast cancer patients remain largely unclear. In this study, we found that TRPM7 was highly expressed in the luminal A subtype of breast cancers but no other subtypes compared with GTEx (Genotype-Tissue Expression Rad) or normal samples by analyzing the TCGA database. Correspondingly, TRPM7 was methylated in 42.7% (93 of 219) of breast cancers. Further studies found that promoter methylation of TRPM7 were significantly associated with better clinical outcomes in breast cancer patients, especially in the Luminal A subtype. Besides, methylated TRPM7 was correlated with less number of metastatic lymph nodes and longer local failure free survival time in this subtype. In summary, our data indicate that promoter methylation of TRPM7 may predict poor prognosis in patients with luminal A breast cancer.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is an intractable vascular disease characterized by
a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance caused by pulmonary vascular
remodeling, which ultimately leads to right-sided heart failure. PAH remains incurable,
despite the development of PAH-targeted therapeutics centered on pulmonary artery
relaxants. It is necessary to identify the target molecules that contribute to pulmonary
artery remodeling. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels have been suggested to
modulate pulmonary artery remodeling. Our study focused on the transient receptor
potential ion channel subfamily M, member 7, or the TRPM7 channel, which modulates
endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition and smooth muscle proliferation in the pulmonary
artery. In this review, we summarize the role and expression profile of TRPM7 channels in
PAH progression and discuss TRPM7 channels as possible therapeutic targets. In addition,
we discuss the therapeutic effect of a Chinese herbal medicine, Ophiocordyceps
sinensis (OCS), on PAH progression, which partly involves TRPM7 inhibition.

Abstract
When the blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) is disrupted after a spinal cord injury (SCI), several pathophysiological cascades occur, including inflammation and apoptotic cell death of neurons and oligodendrocytes, resulting in permanent neurological deficits. Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) is involved in the pathological processes in many neuronal diseases, including traumatic brain injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, parkinsonism dementia, and Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, carvacrol (CAR), a TRPM7 inhibitor, is known to protect against SCI by reducing oxidative stress and inhibiting the endothelial nitric oxide synthase pathway. However, the functions of TRPM7 in the regulation of BSCB homeostasis after SCI have not been examined. Here, we demonstrated that TRPM7, a calcium-mediated non-selective divalent cation channel, plays a critical role after SCI in rats. Rats were contused at T9 and given CAR (50 mg/kg) via intraperitoneally immediately and 12 hours after SCI, and then given the same dose once a day for 7 days. TRPM7 was found to be up-regulated after SCI in both in vitro and in vivo studies, and it was expressed in blood vessels alongside neurons and oligodendrocytes. Additionally, CAR treatment suppressed BSCB disruption by inhibiting the loss of TJ proteins and preserved TJ integrity. CAR also reduced apoptotic cell death and improved functional recovery after SCI by preventing BSCB disruption caused by blood infiltration and inflammatory responses. Based on these findings, we propose that blocking the TRPM7 channel can inhibit the destruction of the BSCB and it is a potential target in therapeutic drug development for use in SCI.

Abstract
This study was conducted to examine if modulating transporters like transient receptor potential cation channels, subfamily M, member 7 (TRPM7) underlies the hippocampal neuroprotection afforded by melatonin (Mel) in rats exposed to cerebral hypoperfusion (CHP). Experimental groups included control, Mel-treated (1.87 g/kg), CHP, and CHP + Mel (1.87 g/kg)-treated rats. CHP was induced by the permanent bilateral occlusion of the common carotid arteries (2VO) method and treatments were conducted for 7 days, orally. Mel prevented the damage of the dental gyrus and memory loss in CHP rats and inhibited the hippocampal reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukine-6 (IL-6), interleukine-1 beta (IL-1β), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). It also reduced the hippocampal transcription of the TRPM7 channels and lowered levels of calcium (Ca2+) and zinc (Zn2+). Mel Also enhanced the levels of total glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the hippocampus of the control and CHP-treated rats. In conclusion, downregulation of TRPM7 seems to be one mechanism underlying the neuroprotective effect of Mel against global ischemia and is triggered by its antioxidant potential.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) is a ubiquitously expressed chanzyme comprised of a divalent cation channel permeable to calcium and magnesium and a cytosolic serine-threonine α-kinase domain. TRPM7 has a crucial role in magnesium ion homeostasis and anoxic neuronal death, which was identified as a potential non-glutamate target for hypoxic-ischemic neuronal injury. TRPM7 is implicated in ischemic stroke and hypomagnesemia in many studies, but it has not been associated with disease in the OMIM database. No clinical cases between TRPM7 gene variants and hypomagnesemia have been reported, so far. One patient with recurrent hemiplegic migraine attacks accompanied by intractable hypomagnesemia was followed up at Tianjin Children's Hospital from 2018 to 2021. We systematically summarized and analyzed the clinical manifestations, imaging features, and serum magnesium changes of the patient. Genetic analysis was performed by whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing to infer the etiology of hemiplegic migraine attacks and hypomagnesemia in this patient. Gene sequencing revealed a novel heterozygous variant of the TRPM7 gene (c.2998A>G, p. Met1000Val), which has not been reported previously; this is also a de novo variant that is not inherited from his parents. We described a novel variant p. Met1000Val (c.2998A>G) located in the transmembrane region of TRPM7 protein, which is possibly crucial for the normal function of the ion channel. Our study expands the variation spectrum of the TRPM7 gene, highlights the importance of molecular genetic evaluation in patients with TRPM7 gene deficiency, and demonstrates the causal relationship between TRPM7 gene variants and disease manifestations.

TRPM7 Ion Channel: Oncogenic Roles and Therapeutic Potential in Breast Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13246322. [PMID: 34944940 PMCID: PMC8699295 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13246322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2021] [Revised: 12/13/2021] [Accepted: 12/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignant tumor and the second leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. The risk of developing breast cancer is 12.8%, i.e., 1 in 8 people, and a woman’s risk of dying is approximately 1 in 39. Calcium signals play an important role in various cancers and transport calcium ions may have altered expression in breast cancer, such as the TRPM7 calcium permeant ion channel, where overexpression may be associated with a poor prognosis. This review focuses on the TRPM7 channel, and the oncogenic roles studied so far in breast cancer. The TRPM7 ion channel is suggested as a potential and prospective target in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Abstract The transient receptor potential melastatin-subfamily member 7 (TRPM7) is a divalent cations permeant channel but also has intrinsic serine/threonine kinase activity. It is ubiquitously expressed in normal tissues and studies have indicated that it participates in important physiological and pharmacological processes through its channel-kinase activity, such as calcium/magnesium homeostasis, phosphorylation of proteins involved in embryogenesis or the cellular process. Accumulating evidence has shown that TRPM7 is overexpressed in human pathologies including breast cancer. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women with an incidence rate increase of around 0.5% per year since 2004. The overexpression of TRPM7 may be associated with a poor prognosis in breast cancer patients, so more efforts are needed to research a new therapeutic target. TRPM7 regulates the levels of Ca2+, which can alter the signaling pathways involved in survival, cell cycle progression, proliferation, growth, migration, invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and thus determines cell behavior, promoting tumor development. This work provides a complete overview of the TRPM7 ion channel and its main involvements in breast cancer. Special consideration is given to the modulation of the channel as a potential target in breast cancer treatment by inhibition of proliferation, migration and invasion. Taken together, these data suggest the potential exploitation of TRPM7 channel-kinase as a therapeutic target and a diagnostic biomarker.

A novel intronic variant in PIGB in Acrofrontofacionasal dysostosis type 1 patients expands the spectrum of phenotypes associated with GPI biosynthesis defects. Bone 2021; 153:116152. [PMID: 34400385 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2021.116152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2021] [Revised: 08/09/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
Acrofrontofacionasal dysostosis type 1 (AFFND1) is an extremely rare disorder characterized by several dysmorphic features, skeletal abnormalities and intellectual disability, and described only in seven patients in the literature. A biallelic variant in the Neuroblastoma Amplified Sequence (NBAS) gene was recently identified in two Indian patients with AFFND1. Here we report genetic investigation of AFFND1 in the originally described Brazilian families and the identification of an extremely rare, recessively-inherited, intronic variant in the Phosphatidylinositol Glycan class B (PIGB) gene NC_000015.10 (NM_004855.4): c.795-19T > G) in the affected individuals. The PIGB gene encodes an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor, which is required for the post-translational modification of a large variety of proteins, enabling their correct cellular localization and function. Recessive variants in PIGB have previously been reported in individuals with a neurodevelopmental syndrome having partial overlap with AFFND1. In vitro assays demonstrated that the intronic variant leads to exon skipping, suggesting the Brazilian AFFND1 patients may be null for PIGB, in agreement with their severe clinical phenotype. These data increase the number of pathogenic variants in the PIGB gene, place AFFND1 among GPI deficiencies and extend the spectrum of phenotypes associated with GPI biosynthesis defects.

Abstract
An autoimmune disease is an inappropriate response to one's tissues due to a break in immune tolerance and exposure to self-antigens. It often leads to structural and functional damage to organs and systemic disorders. To date, there are no effective interventions to prevent the progression of autoimmune diseases. Hence, there is an urgent need for new treatment targets. TRPM7 is an enzyme-coupled, transient receptor ion channel of the subfamily M that plays a vital role in pathologic and physiologic conditions. While TRPM7 is constitutively activated under certain conditions, it can regulate cell migration, polarization, proliferation and cytokine secretion. However, a growing body of evidence highlights the critical role of TRPM7 in autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and diabetes. Herein, we present (a) a review of the channel kinase properties of TRPM7 and its pharmacological properties, (b) discuss the role of TRPM7 in immune cells (neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes and mast cells) and its upstream immunoreactive substances, and (c) highlight TRPM7 as a potential therapeutic target for autoimmune diseases.

Distinct calcium regulation of TRPM7 mechanosensitive channels at plasma membrane microdomains visualized by FRET-based single cell imaging. Sci Rep 2021; 11:17893.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential subfamily M member 7 (TRPM7), a mechanosensitive Ca2+ channel, plays a crucial role in intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis. However, it is currently unclear how cell mechanical cues control TRPM7 activity and its associated Ca2+ influx at plasma membrane microdomains. Using two different types of Ca2+ biosensors (Lyn-D3cpv and Kras-D3cpv) based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer, we investigate how Ca2+ influx generated by the TRPM7-specific agonist naltriben is mediated at the detergent-resistant membrane (DRM) and non-DRM regions. This study reveals that TRPM7-induced Ca2+ influx mainly occurs at the DRM, and chemically induced mechanical perturbations in the cell mechanosensitive apparatus substantially reduce Ca2+ influx through TRPM7, preferably located at the DRM. Such perturbations include the disintegration of lipid rafts, microtubules, or actomyosin filaments; the alteration of actomyosin contractility; and the inhibition of focal adhesion and Src kinases. These results suggest that the mechanical membrane environment contributes to the TRPM7 function and activity. Thus, this study provides a fundamental understanding of how the mechanical aspects of the cell membrane regulate the function of mechanosensitive channels.

Abstract
For pharmaceutical research focused on identifying novel drug target candidate molecules, it is essential to explore unknown biological phenomena, elucidate underlying molecular mechanisms and regulate biological processes based on these findings. Proteins expressed on the plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane play important roles in linking extracellular environmental information to intracellular processes. Stimulating membranous proteins induces various kinds of changes in cells, such as alterations in gene expression levels and enzymatic activities. However, the physiological functions and endogenous ligands of many G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have not been determined, although GPCRs already constitute a large class of drug-target membrane proteins. Furthermore, the precise physiological roles played by many ER membrane proteins have not been elucidated to date. In this review article, I summarize the results of our recent studies, including the observations that the lipid sensor FFAR4/GPR120 controlled systemic energy homeostasis and that the ER membrane monovalent cation channel trimeric intracellular cation (TRIC)-B and the plasma membrane divalent cation channel transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) regulated bone formation. I further describe the therapeutic significance of these membranous protein-related biological processes.

Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and accounted for an estimated 9.6 million deaths, or 1 in 6 deaths, in 2018. Despite recent advances in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies, the burden of this disease continues to grow with each year, with dire physical, emotional, and economic consequences for all levels of society. Classic characteristics of cancer include rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation and spread of cancerous cells to other parts of the body, a process known as metastasis. Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7), a Ca2+- and Mg2+-permeable nonselective divalent cation channel defined by the atypical presence of an α-kinase within its C-terminal domain, has been implicated, due to its modulation of Ca2+ and Mg2+ influx, in a wide variety of physiological and pathological processes, including cancer. TRPM7 is overexpressed in several cancer types and has been shown to variably increase cellular proliferation, migration, and invasion of tumour cells. However, the relative contribution of TRPM7 kinase domain activity to cancer as opposed to ion flux through its channel pore remains an area of active discovery. In this review, we describe the specific role of the TRPM7 kinase domain in cancer processes as well as mechanisms of regulation and inhibition of the kinase domain.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is an important mechanism of autonomous tumor suppression, while its consequence such as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) may drive tumorigenesis and age-related diseases. Therefore, controlling the cell fate optimally when encountering senescence stress is helpful for anti-cancer or anti-aging treatments. To identify genes essential for senescence establishment or maintenance, we carried out a CRISPR-based screen with a deliberately designed single-guide RNA (sgRNA) library. The library comprised of about 12,000 kinds of sgRNAs targeting 1378 senescence-associated genes selected by integrating the information of literature mining, protein-protein interaction network, and differential gene expression. We successfully detected a dozen gene deficiencies potentially causing senescence bypass, and their phenotypes were further validated with a high true positive rate. RNA-seq analysis showed distinct transcriptome patterns of these bypass cells. Interestingly, in the bypass cells, the expression of SASP genes was maintained or elevated with CHEK2, HAS1, or MDK deficiency; but neutralized with MTOR, CRISPLD2, or MORF4L1 deficiency. Pathways of some age-related neurodegenerative disorders were also downregulated with MTOR, CRISPLD2, or MORF4L1 deficiency. The results demonstrated that disturbing these genes could lead to distinct cell fates as a consequence of senescence bypass, suggesting that they may play essential roles in cellular senescence.

Abstract
Metastasis is a complicated, multistep process that is responsible for over 90% of cancer-related death. Metastatic disease or the movement of cancer cells from one site to another requires dramatic remodeling of the cytoskeleton. The regulation of cancer cell migration is determined not only by biochemical factors in the microenvironment but also by the biomechanical contextual information provided by the extracellular matrix (ECM). The responses of the cytoskeleton to chemical signals are well characterized and understood. However, the mechanisms of response to mechanical signals in the form of externally applied force and forces generated by the ECM are still poorly understood. Furthermore, understanding the way cellular mechanosensors interact with the physical properties of the microenvironment and transmit the signals to activate the cytoskeletal movements may help identify an effective strategy for the treatment of cancer. Here, we will discuss the role of tumor microenvironment during cancer metastasis and how physical forces remodel the cytoskeleton through mechanosensing and transduction.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Cardiac fibrosis is a common characteristic of many cardiac diseases. Our previous results showed that TRPM7 channel played an important role in the fibrosis process. MicroRNA-135a was reported to get involved in the fibrotic process. Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bunge was widely used in Chinese traditional medicine and showed cardiac protective effects in previous researches. Astragaloside IV(ASG), which is regarded as the most important ingredient of Astragalus, has been showed the effect of cardiac protection via various mechanisms, while no data suggested its action related to miRNAs regulation. AIM OF THE STUDY The objective of this article is to investigate the inhibition effect of ASG on cardiac fibrosis through the miR-135a-TRPM7-TGF-β/Smads pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS We extracted the active components from herb according to the paper and measured the content of ASG from the mixture via HPLC. The inhibition potency of cardiac hypertrophy between total extract of Astragalus and ASG was compared. SD rats were treated with ISO (5 mg/kg/day) subcutaneously (s.c.) for 14 days, ASG (10 mg/kg/d) and Astragalus extract (AE) (4.35 g/kg/d, which contained about ASG 10 mg) were given p.o. from the 6th day of the modeling. Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) of neonatal rats were incubated with ISO (10 μM) and treated with ASG (10 μM) simultaneously for 24 h. RESULTS The results showed that both AE and ASG treatment reduced the TRPM7 expression from the gene level and inhibited cardiac fibrosis. ASG group showed similar potency as the AE mixture. ASG treatment significantly decreased the current, mRNA and protein expression of TRPM7 which was one of targets of miR-135a. The activation of TGF-β/Smads pathway was suppressed and the expression of α-SMA and Collagen I were also decreased obviously. In addition, our results showed that there was a positive feedback between the activation of TGF-β/Smads pathway and the elevation of TRPM7, both of which could promote the development of myocardial fibrosis. CONCLUSIONS AE had the effect of cardiac fibrosis inhibition and decreased the mRNA expression of TRPM7. ASG, as one of the effective ingredients of AE, showed the same potency when given the same dose. ASG inhibited cardiac fibrosis by targeting the miR-135a-TRPM7-TGF-β/Smads pathway.

Abstract
Aging is a crucial cause of cognitive decline and a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, AD's underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Recently, tetraspanins have emerged as important modulators of synaptic function and memory. We demonstrate that the level of tetraspanin CD82 is upregulated in the brains of AD patients and middle-aged mice. In young adult mice, injection of AAV-CD82 to the hippocampus induced AD-like cognitive deficits and impairments in neuronal spine density. CD82 overexpression increased TRPM7 α-kinase cleavage via caspase-3 activation and induced Numb phosphorylation at Thr346 and Ser348 residues. CD82 overexpression promoted beta-amyloid peptide (Aβ) secretion which could be reversed by Numb T346S348 mutants. Importantly, hippocampus-related memory functions were improved in Cd82-/- mice. Taken together, our findings provide the evidence that links the elevated CD82-TRPM7-Numb signaling to age-related cognitive impairment.

Fracture healing and bone regeneration, particularly in the elderly, remains a challenge. There is an ongoing search for methods to activate osteoblasts, and the application of electrical fields is an attractive approach in this context. Although it is known that such electromagnetic fields lead to osteoblast migration and foster mesenchymal osteogenic differentiation, so far the mechanisms of osteoblast activation remain unclear. Possible mechanisms could rely on changes in Ca2+-influx via ion channels, as these are known to modulate osteoblast activity, e.g., via voltage-sensitive, stretch-sensitive, transient-receptor-potential (TRP) channels, or store-operated release. In the present in vitro study, we explored whether electrical fields are able to modulate the expression of voltage-sensitive calcium channels as well as TRP channels in primary human osteoblast cell lines. We show migration speed is significantly increased in stimulated osteoblasts (6.4 ± 2.1 μm/h stimulated, 3.6 ± 1.1 μm/h control), and directed toward the anode. However, within a range of 154–445 V/m, field strength did not correlate with migration velocity. Neither was there a correlation between electric field and voltage-gated calcium channel (Cav3.2 and Cav1.4) expression. However, the expression of TRPM7 significantly correlated positively to electric field strength. TRPM7 channel blockade using NS8593, in turn, did not significantly alter migration speed, nor did blockade of Cav3.2 and Cav1.4 channels using Ni+ or verapamil, respectively, while a general Ca2+-influx block using Mg2+ accelerated migration. Stimulating store-operated Ca2+-release significantly reduced migration speed, while blocking IP3 had only a minor effect (at low and high concentrations of 2-APB, respectively). We conclude that (i) store operated channels negatively modulate migration speed and that (ii) the upregulation of TRPM7 might constitute a compensatory mechanism-which might explain how increasing expression levels at increasing field strengths result in constant migration speeds.

Abstract
RATIONALE Obesity leads to resistant hypertension and mechanisms are poorly understood, but high plasma levels of leptin have been implicated. Leptin increases blood pressure acting both centrally in the dorsomedial hypothalamus and peripherally. Sites of the peripheral hypertensive effect of leptin have not been identified. We previously reported that leptin enhanced activity of the carotid sinus nerve, which transmits chemosensory input from the carotid bodies (CBs) to the medullary centers, and this effect was abolished by nonselective blockers of Trp (transient receptor potential) channels. We searched our mouse CB transcriptome database and found that the Trpm7 (transient receptor potential melastatin 7) channel was the most abundant Trp channel. OBJECTIVE To examine if leptin induces hypertension acting on the CB Trpm7. METHODS AND RESULTS C57BL/6J (n=79), leptin receptor (LepRb) deficient db/db mice (n=22), and LepRb-EGFP (n=4) mice were used. CB Trpm7 and LepRb gene expression was determined and immunohistochemistry was performed; CB glomus cells were isolated and Trpm7-like current was recorded. Blood pressure was recorded continuously in (1) leptin-treated C57BL/6J mice with intact and denervated CB; (2) leptin-treated C57BL/6J mice, which also received a nonselective Trpm7 blocker FTY720 administered systemically or topically to the CB area; (3) leptin-treated C57BL/6J mice transfected with Trpm7 small hairpin RNA to the CB, and (4) Leprb deficient obese db/db mice before and after Leprb expression in CB. Leptin receptor and Trpm7 colocalized in the CB glomus cells. Leptin induced a nonselective cation current in these cells, which was inhibited by Trpm7 blockers. Leptin induced hypertension in C57BL/6J mice, which was abolished by CB denervation, Trpm 7 blockers, and Trpm7 small hairpin RNA applied to CBs. Leprb overexpression in CB of Leprb-deficient db/db mice demethylated the Trpm7 promoter, increased Trpm7 gene expression, and induced hypertension. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that leptin induces hypertension acting on Trmp7 in CB, which opens horizons for new therapy.

Abstract
The channel kinase (chanzyme) transient receptor potential melastatin-like 7 (TRPM7) has a unique dual protein structure composed of an ion channel with an α-kinase domain on its C-terminus. In the nervous system, under physiological conditions, TRPM7 contributes to critical neurobiological processes ranging from synaptic transmission to cognitive functions. Following certain pathological triggers, TRPM7 mediates neurotoxicity, neuro-injuries, and neuronal death. Here, we summarize the current knowledge of TRPM7 functions in neuronal systems in health and disease. The molecular mechanisms by which this chanzyme might regulate synaptic and cognitive functions are discussed. We also discuss the lack of knowledge regarding the molecular mechanisms responsible for turning TRPM7 into "a vicious tool" that mediates neuronal death following certain pathological triggers. Some synthetic and natural pharmacological modulators of the TRPM7 channel and its α-kinase are reviewed. We suggest that based on current knowledge, we should reshape our thinking regarding the implications of TRPM7 in neurological and neurodegenerative disorders. Moreover, we propose a paradigm shift concerning the targeting of TRPM7 as a therapeutic approach for treating certain neurological diseases. We agree that TRPM7 overexpression or overactivation may mediate neurodegenerative processes following certain triggers. However, TRPM7 dysfunction and/or downregulation might also be among the pathological changes leading to neurodegeneration. Consequently, further investigations are required before we decide whether blocking or activating the chanzyme is the correct therapeutic approach to treat certain neurological and/or neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
The study of membrane proteins, and in particular ion channels, is crucial to understanding cellular function. Mass spectrometry-based approaches including bottom-up strategies to study membrane proteins have been successful yet still can remain challenging. In this study, we sought to evaluate the phosphorylation patterns of the ion channel TRPM7 which is involved in a range of critical physiological functions. To overcome extraction obstacles associated with analyzing membrane proteins, we incorporated the use of 5% SDS solubilization coupled with SCAD and S-Trap digestion methods to eliminate detergent interference in downstream LC-MS/MS analysis. We found that the SCAD method was more efficient, yielding 84% of the overall identified proteins; however, the variability was greater than the S-Trap method. Using both methods together with TiO2 and Fe-NTA phospho-enrichment protocols, we successfully observed the phosphorylation pattern of TRPM7 in a transfected cell line. An average of 22 ± 6% of the TRPM7 amino acid sequence was observed. In addition to several previously reported phosphorylation sites, we identified six new phosphosites (S5, S233, S554, S824, T1265, and S1401), providing new targets for further functional analyses of TRPM7.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) is the second most abundant cation in mammalian cells, and it is essential for numerous cellular processes including enzymatic reactions, ion channel functions, metabolic cycles, cellular signaling, and DNA/RNA stabilities. Because of the versatile and universal nature of Mg2+, the homeostasis of intracellular Mg2+ is physiologically linked to growth, proliferation, differentiation, energy metabolism, and death of cells. On the cellular and tissue levels, maintaining Mg2+ within optimal levels according to the biological context, such as cell types, developmental stages, extracellular environments, and pathophysiological conditions, is crucial for development, normal functions, and diseases. Hence, Mg2+ is pathologically involved in cancers, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and demyelination. In the research field regarding the roles and mechanisms of Mg2+ regulation, numerous controversies caused by its versatility and complexity still exist. As Mg2+, at least, plays critical roles in neuronal development, healthy normal functions, and diseases, appropriate Mg2+ supplementation exhibits neurotrophic effects in a majority of cases. Hence, the control of Mg2+ homeostasis can be a candidate for therapeutic targets in neuronal diseases. In this review, recent results regarding the roles of intracellular Mg2+ and its regulatory system in determining the cell phenotype, fate, and diseases in the nervous system are summarized, and an overview of the comprehensive roles of Mg2+ is provided.

Abstract
Cell migration is a key process in cancer metastasis, allowing malignant cells to spread from the primary tumor to distant organs. At the molecular level, migration is the result of several coordinated events involving mechanical forces and cellular signaling, where the second messenger Ca2+ plays a pivotal role. Therefore, elucidating the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ levels is key for a complete understanding of the mechanisms controlling cellular migration. In this regard, understanding the function of Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels, which are fundamental determinants of Ca2+ signaling, is critical to uncovering mechanisms of mechanotransduction during cell migration and, consequently, in pathologies closely linked to it, such as cancer. Here, we review recent studies on the association between TRP channels and migration-related mechanotransduction events, as well as in the involvement of TRP channels in the migration-dependent pathophysiological process of metastasis.

Abstract
During endochondral ossification of long bones, the proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes cause them to be arranged into layered structures constituting the epiphyseal growth plate, where they secrete the cartilage matrix that is subsequently converted into trabecular bone. Ca2+ signaling has been implicated in chondrogenesis in vitro. Through fluorometric imaging of bone slices from embryonic mice, we demonstrated that live growth plate chondrocytes generated small, cell-autonomous Ca2+ fluctuations that were associated with weak and intermittent Ca2+ influx. Several genes encoding Ca2+-permeable channels were expressed in growth plate chondrocytes, but only pharmacological inhibitors of transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 7 (TRPM7) reduced the spontaneous Ca2+ fluctuations. The TRPM7-mediated Ca2+ influx was likely activated downstream of basal phospholipase C activity and was potentiated upon cell hyperpolarization induced by big-conductance Ca2+-dependent K+ channels. Bones from embryos in which Trpm7 was conditionally knocked out during ex vivo culture exhibited reduced outgrowth and displayed histological abnormalities accompanied by insufficient autophosphorylation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in the growth plate. The link between TRPM7-mediated Ca2+ fluctuations and CaMKII-dependent chondrogenesis was further supported by experiments with chondrocyte-specific Trpm7 knockout mice. Thus, growth plate chondrocytes generate spontaneous, TRPM7-mediated Ca2+ fluctuations that promote self-maturation and bone development.

Abstract
Dysregulation of miR-543 has been implicated to play crucial roles in various human cancers. However, the function of miR-543 involved in cervical cancer (CC) progress remains largely unknown. Thus, this study aimed to explore the potential role of miR-543 and the underlying mechanisms in human CC. In this study, we found that miR-543 was significantly downregulated in 69 CC tissue samples and cell lines when compared to adjacent normal tissues and cell line. Decreased miR-543 was closely correlated with poor clinicopathological parameters including larger tumor size, late FIGO stage and lymph node metastasis. Overexpression of miR-543 in CC cell lines remarkably inhibited cell proliferation, invasion and migration, caused cell cycle arrest, promoted apoptosis in vitro, and suppressed tumor growth in vivo, whereas miR-543 inhibitor showed the opposite effect. Dual-luciferase assay validated that 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) was a direct binding site of miR-543. Rescue experiments showed that restoration of TRPM7 expression partially reversed the miR-543-mediated inhibition of proliferation and invasion in CC cells. Further studies confirmed that P13K/AKT and p38/MAPK signaling was involved in miR-543/TRPM7 axis mediated CC progression. Thus, these findings demonstrated the tumor suppressor role of miR-543 on CC progression, which might serve as a potential biomarker for CC diagnosis and therapy.

The nonspecific divalent cation channel TRPM7 (transient receptor potential-melastatin-like 7) is involved in many Ca2+ and Mg2+-dependent cellular processes, including survival, proliferation and migration. TRPM7 expression predicts metastasis and recurrence in breast cancer and several other cancers. In cultured cells, it can induce an invasive phenotype by promoting Ca2+-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition. We previously showed that in neuroblastoma cells that overexpress TRPM7 moderately, stimulation with Ca2+-mobilizing agonists leads to a characteristic sustained influx of Ca2+. Here we report that sustained influx through TRPM7 is abruptly abrogated by elevating intracellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Using pharmacological inhibitors and overexpression studies we show that this blockage is mediated by the cAMP effector Protein Kinase A (PKA). Mutational analysis demonstrates that the Serine residue S1269, which is present proximal to the coiled-coil domain within the protein c-terminus, is responsible for sensitivity to cAMP.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) has been known to play vital roles in regulating growth and various metabolic processes. In recent years, the association between Mg and tumorigenesis has raised more and more attention. However, the effects of Mg on the progression of head and neck carcinoma (HNC), as well as the mechanism behind it, remain undefined. In this study, the roles of Mg in tumorigenic activities were tested in CAL27 and FaDu cells as well as in a xenograft tumor model in nude mice. We demonstrated that a moderate increase in extracellular Mg contributed to the proliferation, migration, and invasion of 2 HNC cell lines, while the addition of Mg in drinking water promoted the growth of xenograft tumors in mice without altering their serum Mg levels. Moreover, TRPM7, a major Mg transporter, was shown to be essential for the tumorigenic activities of HNC and the Mg-induced promotive effects on HNC cells and was further shown to be associated with the activation of AKT/mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling. In a preliminary clinical study, we determined the Mg ion concentrations in the stimulated saliva from 72 patients with nasopharynx carcinoma and 12 healthy individuals. Our data revealed that the salivary Mg levels of subjects with nasopharynx carcinoma were significantly higher than those of the healthy controls. This is correlated with our finding showing TRPM7 to be overexpressed in tumor tissues harvested from 9 patients with HNC. Therefore, we can conclude that salivary Mg level, within a certain range, could act as a risk factor for the progression of HNC, which involves the activation of AKT/mTOR signaling pathways through the TRPM7 channel. The control of salivary Mg level and the intervention of TRPM7 should not be ignored during the study of HNC.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system (CNS), characterized by inflammation‐mediated demyelination, axonal injury and neurodegeneration. The mechanisms underlying impaired neuronal function are not fully understood, but evidence is accumulating that the presence of the gliotic scar produced by reactive astrocytes play a critical role in these detrimental processes. Here, we identified astrocytic Transient Receptor Potential cation channel, subfamily M, member 7 (TRPM7), a Ca2+‐permeable nonselective cation channel, as a novel player in the formation of a gliotic scar. TRPM7 was found to be highly expressed in reactive astrocytes within well‐characterized MS lesions and upregulated in primary astrocytes under chronic inflammatory conditions. TRPM7 overexpressing astrocytes impaired neuronal outgrowth in vitro by increasing the production of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, a key component of the gliotic scar. These findings indicate that astrocytic TRPM7 is a critical regulator of the formation of a gliotic scar and provide a novel mechanism by which reactive astrocytes affect neuronal outgrowth.

Abstract
It is now widely accepted that advanced fibrosis underlies many chronic inflammatory disorders and is the main cause of morbidity and mortality of the modern world. The pathogenic mechanism of advanced fibrosis involves diverse and intricate interplays between numerous extracellular and intracellular signaling molecules, among which the non-trivial roles of a stress-responsive Ca2+/Na+-permeable cation channel superfamily, the transient receptor potential (TRP) protein, are receiving growing attention. Available evidence suggests that several TRP channels such as TRPC3, TRPC6, TRPV1, TRPV3, TRPV4, TRPA1, TRPM6 and TRPM7 may play central roles in the progression and/or prevention of fibroproliferative disorders in vital visceral organs such as lung, heart, liver, kidney, and bowel as well as brain, blood vessels and skin, and may contribute to both acute and chronic inflammatory processes involved therein. This short paper overviews the current knowledge accumulated in this rapidly growing field, with particular focus on cardiac and intestinal fibrosis, which are tightly associated with the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation and inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease.

Abstract
Genomic instability is a primary cause and fundamental feature of human cancer. However, all cancer cell genotypes generally translate into several common pathophysiological features, often referred to as cancer hallmarks. Although nowadays the catalog of cancer hallmarks is quite broad, the most common and obvious of them are 1) uncontrolled proliferation, 2) resistance to programmed cell death (apoptosis), 3) tissue invasion and metastasis, and 4) sustained angiogenesis. Among the genes affected by cancer, those encoding ion channels are present. Membrane proteins responsible for signaling within cell and among cells, for coupling of extracellular events with intracellular responses, and for maintaining intracellular ionic homeostasis ion channels contribute to various extents to pathophysiological features of each cancer hallmark. Moreover, tight association of these hallmarks with ion channel dysfunction gives a good reason to classify them as special type of channelopathies, namely oncochannelopathies. Although the relation of cancer hallmarks to ion channel dysfunction differs from classical definition of channelopathies, as disease states causally linked with inherited mutations of ion channel genes that alter channel's biophysical properties, in a broader context of the disease state, to which pathogenesis ion channels essentially contribute, such classification seems absolutely appropriate. In this review the authors provide arguments to substantiate such point of view.

Abstract
Recent studies showed that both prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) play important roles in migration and proliferation of human glioblastoma cells. In this study, we tested the association between PGE2 and TRPM7. We found that PGE2 increased TRPM7 currents in HEK293 and human glioblastoma A172 cells. The PGE2 EP3 receptor antagonist L‐798106 abrogated the PGE2 stimulatory effect, while EP3 agonist 17‐phenyl trinor prostaglandin E2 (17‐pt‐PGE2) mimicked the effect of PEG2 on TRPM7. The TRPM7 phosphotransferase activity‐deficient mutation, K1646R had no effect on PGE2 induced increase of TRPM7 currents. Inhibition of protein kinase A (PKA) activity by Rp‐cAMP increased TRPM7 currents. TRPM7 PKA phosphorylation site mutation S1269A abolished the PGE2 effect on TRPM7 currents. PGE2 increased both mRNA and membrane protein expression of TRPM7 in A172 cells. Knockdown of TRPM7 by shRNA abrogated the PGE2 stimulated migration and proliferation of A172 cells. Blockage of TRPM7 with 2‐aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2‐APB) or NS8593 had a similar effect as TRPM7‐shRNA. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that PGE2 activates TRPM7 via EP3/PKA signalling pathway, and that PGE2 enhances migration and proliferation of human glioblastoma cells by up‐regulation of the TRPM7 channel.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 7 (TRPM7) is an ion channel/protein kinase belonging to the TRP melastatin and eEF2 kinase families. Under physiological conditions, most native TRPM7 channels are inhibited by cytoplasmic Mg2+, protons, and polyamines. Currents through these channels (ITRPM7) are robustly potentiated when the cell interior is exchanged with low Mg2+-containing buffers. ITRPM7 is also potentiated by phosphatidyl inositol bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) and suppressed by its hydrolysis. Here we characterized internal Mg2+- and pH-mediated inhibition of TRPM7 channels in HEK293 cells overexpressing WT voltage-sensing phospholipid phosphatase (VSP) or its catalytically inactive variant VSP-C363S. VSP-mediated depletion of membrane phosphoinositides significantly increased channel sensitivity to Mg2+ and pH. Proton concentrations that were too low to inhibit ITRPM7 when the VSP-C363S variant was expressed (pH 8.2) became inhibitory in WT VSP-expressing cells. At pH 6.5, protons inhibited ITRPM7 both in WT and VSP C363S-expressing cells but with a faster time course in the WT VSP-expressing cells. Inhibition by 150 μm Mg2+ was also significantly faster in the WT VSP-expressing cells. Cellular PI(4,5)P2 depletion increased the sensitivity of TRPM7 channels to the inhibitor 2-aminoethyl diphenyl borinate, which acidifies the cytosol. Single substitutions at Ser-1107 of TRPM7, reducing its sensitivity to Mg2+, also decreased its inhibition by spermine and acidic pH. Furthermore, these channel variants were markedly less sensitive to VSP-mediated PI(4,5)P2 depletion than the WT. We conclude that the internal Mg2+-, polyamine-, and pH-mediated inhibition of TRPM7 channels is not direct but, rather, reflects electrostatic screening and resultant disruption of PI(4,5)P2-channel interactions.

Abstract
Continuous Ca2+ influx is essential to maintain intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis and its dysregulation leads to a variety of cellular dysfunctions. In this study, we explored the functional roles of spontaneous Ca2+ influx for the proliferation and differentiation of a human erythromyeloid leukemia cell line K562. mRNA/protein expressions were assessed by the real-time RT-PCR, western blotting, and immunocytochemical staining. Intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+ ]i ) and ionic currents were measured by fluorescent imaging and patch clamping techniques, respectively. Cell counting/viability and colorimetric assays were applied to assess proliferation rate and hemoglobin synthesis, respectively. Elimination of extracellular Ca2+ decreased basal [Ca2+ ]i in proliferating K562 cells. Cation channel blockers such as SK&F96365, 2-APB, Gd3+ , and FTY720 dose dependently decreased basal [Ca2+ ]i . A spontaneously active inward current (Ispont ) contributive to basal [Ca2+ ]i was identified by the nystatin-perforated whole-cell recording. Ispont permeated Ca2+ comparably to Na+ , and was greatly eliminated by siRNA targeting TRPM7, a melastatin member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily. Consistent with these findings, TRPM7 immune reactivity was detected by western blotting, and immunofluorescence representing TRPM7 was found localized to the K562 cell membrane. Strikingly, all these procedures, that is, Ca2+ removal, TRPM7 blockers and siRNA-mediated TRPM7 knockdown significantly retarded the growth and suppressed hemin-induced γ-globin and hemoglobin syntheses in K562 cells, respectively, both of which appeared associated with the inhibition of ERK activation. These results collectively suggest that spontaneous Ca2+ influx through constitutively active TRPM7 channels may critically regulate both proliferative and erythroid differentiation potentials of K562 cells.

Abstract
Magnesium is the most abundant intracellular divalent cation and essential for maintaining normal cellular physiology and metabolism, acting as a cofactor of numerous enzymes, regulating ion channels and energy generation. In the heart, magnesium plays a key role in modulating neuronal excitation, intracardiac conduction, and myocardial contraction by regulating a number of ion transporters, including potassium and calcium channels. Magnesium also has a role in regulating vascular tone, atherogenesis and thrombosis, vascular calcification, and proliferation and migration of endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells. As such, magnesium potentially has a major influence on the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. As the kidney is a major regulator of magnesium homeostasis, kidney disorders can potentially lead to both magnesium depletion and overload, and as such increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Observational data have shown an association between low serum magnesium concentrations or magnesium intake and increased atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, and heart failure. However, major trials of supplementation with magnesium have reported inconsistent benefits and also raised potential adverse effects of magnesium overload. As such, there is currently no firm recommendation for routine magnesium supplementation except when hypomagnesemia has been proven or suspected as a cause for cardiac arrhythmias.

Abstract
T lymphocytes enlarge (blast) and proliferate in response to antigens in a multistep program that involves obligatory cytosolic calcium elevations. Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) pathway is the primary source of Ca2+ in these cells. Here, we describe a novel modulator of blastogenesis, proliferation and SOCE: the TRPM7 channel kinase. TRPM7 kinase-dead (KD) K1646R knock-in mice exhibited splenomegaly and impaired blastogenic responses elicited by PMA/ionomycin or anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies. Splenic T-cell proliferation in vitro was weaker in the mutant compared to wildtype littermates. TRPM7 current magnitudes in WT and KD mouse T cells were, however, similar. We tested the dependence of T-cell proliferation on external Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations. At a fixed [Mg2+o] of ~0.4 mM, Ca2+o stimulated proliferation with a steep concentration dependence and vice versa, at a fixed [Ca2+o] of ~0.4 mM, Mg2+o positively regulated proliferation but with a shallower dependence. Proliferation was significantly lower in KD mouse than in wildtype at all Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations. Ca2+ elevations elicited by anti-CD3 antibody were diminished in KD mutant T cells and SOCE measured in activated KD splenocytes was reduced. These results demonstrate that a functional TRPM7 kinase supports robust SOCE, blastogenesis and proliferation, whereas its inactivation suppresses these cellular events.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg2+) is a mineral with the ability to influence cell proliferation and to modulate inflammatory/immune responses, due to its anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) modulate the function of all major immune cell populations. Knowing that, the current work aimed to investigate the effects of Mg2+ enrichment, and its influence on the immunomodulatory capacity of MSCs. Murine C3H/10T1/2 MSCs were cultivated in media with different concentrations of Mg2+ (0, 1, 3 and 5 mM), in order to evaluate the effects of Mg2+ on MSC immunomodulatory properties, cell proliferation rates, expression of NFκB and STAT-3, production of IL-1β, IL-6, TGF-β, IL-10, PGE2 and NO, and TRPM7 expression. The results showed that TRPM7 is expressed in MSCs, but Mg2+, in the way that cells were cultivated, did not affect TRPM7 expression. Additionally, there was no difference in the intracellular concentration of Mg2+. Mg2+, especially at 5 mM, raised proliferation rates of MSCs, and modulated immune responses by decreasing levels of IL-1β and IL-6, and by increasing levels of IL-10 and PGE2 in cells stimulated with LPS or TNF-α. In addition, MSCs cultured in 5 mM Mg2+ expressed lower levels of pNFκB/NFκB and higher levels of pSTAT-3/STAT-3. Furthermore, conditioned media from MSCs reduced lymphocyte and macrophage proliferation, but Mg2+ did not affect this parameter. In addition, conditioned media from MSCs cultured at 5 mM of Mg2+ modulated the production profile of cytokines, especially of IL-1β and IL-6 in macrophages. In conclusion, Mg2+ is able to modulate some immunoregulatory properties of MSCs.

Abstract
Autophagy is a cellular process in which the cell degrades and recycles its own constituents. Given the crucial role of autophagy in physiology, deregulation of autophagic machinery is associated with various diseases. Hence, a thorough understanding of autophagy regulatory mechanisms is crucially important for the elaboration of efficient treatments for different diseases. Recently, ion channels, mediating ion fluxes across cellular membranes, have emerged as important regulators of both basal and induced autophagy. However, the mechanisms by which specific ion channels regulate autophagy are still poorly understood, thus underscoring the need for further research in this field. Here we discuss the involvement of major types of ion channels in autophagy regulation.

Abstract
The human TRP protein family comprises a family of 27 cation channels with diverse permeation and gating properties. The common theme is that they are very important regulators of intracellular Ca2+ signaling in diverse cell types, either by providing a Ca2+ influx pathway, or by depolarising the membrane potential, which on one hand triggers the activation of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, and on the other limits the driving force for Ca2+ entry. Here we focus on the role of these TRP channels in vascular smooth muscle and cardiac striated muscle. We give an overview of highlights from the recent literature, and highlight the important and diverse roles of TRP channels in the pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system. The discovery of the superfamily of Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels has significantly enhanced our knowledge of multiple signal transduction mechanisms in cardiac muscle and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). In recent years, multiple studies have provided evidence for the involvement of these channels, not only in the regulation of contraction, but also in cell proliferation and remodeling in pathological conditions. The mammalian family of TRP cation channels is composed by 28 genes which can be divided into 6 subfamilies groups based on sequence similarity: TRPC (Canonical), TRPM (Melastatin), TRPML (Mucolipins), TRPV (Vanilloid), TRPP (Policystin) and TRPA (Ankyrin-rich protein). Functional TRP channels are believed to form four-unit complexes in the plasma, each of them expressed with six transmembrane domain and intracellular N and C termini. Here we review the current knowledge on the expression of TRP channels in both muscle types, and discuss their functional properties and role in physiological and pathophysiological processes.

Abstract
Cell surface proteoglycans comprise a transmembrane or membrane-associated core protein to which one or more glycosaminoglycan chains are covalently attached. They are ubiquitous receptors on nearly all animal cell surfaces. In mammals, the cell surface proteoglycans include the six glypicans, CD44, NG2 (CSPG4), neuropilin-1 and four syndecans. A single syndecan is present in invertebrates such as nematodes and insects. Uniquely, syndecans are receptors for many classes of proteins that can bind to the heparan sulphate chains present on syndecan core proteins. These range from cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and morphogens to enzymes and extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoproteins and collagens. Extracellular interactions with other receptors, such as some integrins, are mediated by the core protein. This places syndecans at the nexus of many cellular responses to extracellular cues in development, maintenance, repair and disease. The cytoplasmic domains of syndecans, while having no intrinsic kinase activity, can nevertheless signal through binding proteins. All syndecans appear to be connected to the actin cytoskeleton and can therefore contribute to cell adhesion, notably to the ECM and migration. Recent data now suggest that syndecans can regulate stretch-activated ion channels. The structure and function of the syndecans and the ion channels are reviewed here, along with an analysis of ion channel functions in cell-matrix adhesion. This area sheds new light on the syndecans, not least since evidence suggests that this is an evolutionarily conserved relationship that is also potentially important in the progression of some common diseases where syndecans are implicated.

Abstract
Intracellular calcium (Ca2+ ) signals are key regulators of multiple cellular functions, both healthy and physiopathological. It is therefore unsurprising that several cancers present a strong Ca2+ homeostasis deregulation. Among the various hallmarks of cancer disease, a particular role is played by metastasis, which has a critical impact on cancer patients' outcome. Importantly, Ca2+ signalling has been reported to control multiple aspects of the adaptive metastatic cancer cell behaviour, including epithelial-mesenchymal transition, cell migration, local invasion and induction of angiogenesis (see Abstract Figure). In this context Ca2+ signalling is considered to be a substantial intracellular tool that regulates the dynamicity and complexity of the metastatic cascade. In the present study we review the spatial and temporal organization of Ca2+ fluxes, as well as the molecular mechanisms involved in metastasis, analysing the key steps which regulate initial tumour spread.
