Abstract
The TMEM16A calcium-activated chloride channel is a promising therapeutic target for various diseases. Niclosamide, an anthelmintic medication, has been considered a TMEM16A inhibitor for treating asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but was recently found to possess broad-spectrum off-target effects. Here, we show that, under physiological Ca2+ (200-500 nM) and voltages, niclosamide acutely potentiates TMEM16A. Our computational and functional characterizations pinpoint a putative niclosamide binding site on the extracellular side of TMEM16A. Mutations in this site attenuate the potentiation. Moreover, niclosamide potentiates endogenous TMEM16A in vascular smooth muscle cells, triggers intracellular calcium increase, and constricts the murine mesenteric artery. Our findings advise caution when considering clinical applications of niclosamide as a TMEM16A inhibitor. The identification of the putative niclosamide binding site provides insights into the mechanism of TMEM16A pharmacological modulation and provides insights into developing specific TMEM16A modulators to treat human diseases.

[PMID: 38581527 PMCID: PMC11166825 DOI: 10.1007/s00424-024-02951-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
All animal cells control their volume through a complex set of mechanisms, both to counteract osmotic perturbations of the environment and to enable numerous vital biological processes, such as proliferation, apoptosis, and migration. The ability of cells to adjust their volume depends on the activity of ion channels and transporters which, by moving K+, Na+, and Cl- ions across the plasma membrane, generate the osmotic gradient that drives water in and out of the cell. In 2010, Patapoutian's group identified a small family of evolutionarily conserved, Ca2+-permeable mechanosensitive channels, Piezo1 and Piezo2, as essential components of the mechanically activated current that mediates mechanotransduction in vertebrates. Piezo1 is expressed in several tissues and its opening is promoted by a wide range of mechanical stimuli, including membrane stretch/deformation and osmotic stress. Piezo1-mediated Ca2+ influx is used by the cell to convert mechanical forces into cytosolic Ca2+ signals that control diverse cellular functions such as migration and cell death, both dependent on changes in cell volume and shape. The crucial role of Piezo1 in the regulation of cell volume was first demonstrated in erythrocytes, which need to reduce their volume to pass through narrow capillaries. In HEK293 cells, increased expression of Piezo1 was found to enhance the regulatory volume decrease (RVD), the process whereby the cell re-establishes its original volume after osmotic shock-induced swelling, and it does so through Ca2+-dependent modulation of the volume-regulated anion channels. More recently we reported that Piezo1 controls the RVD in glioblastoma cells via the modulation of Ca2+-activated K+ channels. To date, however, the mechanisms through which this mechanosensitive channel controls cell volume and maintains its homeostasis have been poorly investigated and are still far from being understood. The present review aims to provide a broad overview of the literature discussing the recent advances on this topic.

Abstract
Plasma membrane localized anoctamin 1, 2 and 6 (TMEM16A, B, F) have been examined in great detail with respect to structure and function, but much less is known about the other seven intracellular members of this exciting family of proteins. This is probably due to their limited accessibility in intracellular membranous compartments, such as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or endosomes. However, these so-called intracellular anoctamins are also found in the plasma membrane (PM) which adds to the confusion regarding their cellular role. Probably all intracellular anoctamins except of ANO8 operate as intracellular phospholipid (PL) scramblases, allowing for Ca2+-activated, passive transport of phospholipids like phosphatidylserine between both membrane leaflets. Probably all of them also conduct ions, which is probably part of their physiological function. In this brief overview, we summarize key findings on the biological functions of ANO3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10 (TMEM16C, D, E, G, H, J, K) that are gradually coming to light. Compartmentalized regulation of intracellular Ca2+ signals, tethering of the ER to specific PM contact sites, and control of intracellular vesicular trafficking appear to be some of the functions of intracellular anoctamins, while loss of function and abnormal expression are the cause for various diseases.

Abstract
Oviductal smooth muscle exhibits spontaneous rhythmic contraction (SRC) and controls the passage of the ova at the exact time, but its mechanistic regulation remains to be determined. In this study, female mice with Ano1SMKO (smooth muscle-specific deletion of Ano1) had reduced fertility. Deficiency of Ano1 in mice resulted in impaired oviductal SRC function and reduced calcium signaling in individual smooth muscle cells in the oviduct. The Ano1 antagonist T16Ainh-A01 dose-dependently inhibited SRCs and [Ca2+]i in the oviducts of humans and mice. A similar inhibitory effect of SRCs and [Ca2+]i was observed after treatment with nifedipine. In our study, ANO1 acted primarily as an activator or amplifier in [Ca2+]i and contraction of tubal smooth muscle cells. We found that tubal SRC was markedly attenuated in patients with ectopic pregnancy. Then, our study was designed to determine whether chloride channel Ano1-mediated smooth muscle motility is associated with tubal SRC. Our findings reveal a new mechanism for the regulation of tubal motility that may be associated with abnormal pregnancies such as ectopic pregnancies.

Abstract
Cancer draws attention owing to the high morbidity and mortality. It is urgent to develop safe and effective cancer therapeutics. The calcium-activated chloride channel TMEM16A is widely distributed in various tissues and regulates physiological functions. TMEM16A is abnormally expressed in several cancers and associate with tumorigenesis, metastasis, and prognosis. Knockdown or inhibition of TMEM16A in cancer cells significantly inhibits cancer development. Therefore, TMEM16A is considered as a biomarker and therapeutic target for some cancers. This work reviews the cancers associated with TMEM16A. Then, the molecular mechanism of TMEM16A overexpression in cancer was analyzed, and the possible signal transduction mechanism of TMEM16A regulating cancer development was summarized. Finally, TMEM16A inhibitors with anticancer effect and their anticancer mechanism were concluded. We hope to provide new ideas for pharmacological studies on TMEM16A in cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the clinicopathological features and prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) occurring synchronously with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). CASE SUMMARY We report 19 patients with concurrent GC and GIST (17 male and 2 female, median age 62 years). GC was most often located in the lower third of the stomach. GIST was diagnosed preoperatively in four patients. GIST was most often located in the gastric body (n = 8, 42%). The most common growth pattern in GIST was extraluminal (n = 12, 63%). The positive expression rates of CD117 and CD34 in GIST were 100% and 95%, respectively. Most patients with GIST (n = 17, 89%) were very low or low risk. There was no recurrence of GIST during follow-up. The 3-year cumulative survival rate was 73.9%, and the 5-year cumulative survival rate was 59.2%. The combined analysis of this study and literature reports (47 reports, 157 patients) found that GC and GIST were usually located in the lower third (42%) and middle third (51%) of the stomach. GC was usually early (stage I: 42%), poorly differentiated (42%) intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (51%). GISTs were primarily small in diameter (median: 1.2 cm) and very low or low risk (89%). CONCLUSION Synchronous GC and GIST may not be rare. They have specific clinicopathological characteristics, and may have mutual inhibition in pathogenesis and progression.

Abstract
Cellular membranes function as permeability barriers that separate cells from the external environment or partition cells into distinct compartments. These membranes are lipid bilayers composed of glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids and cholesterol, in which proteins are embedded. Glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids freely move laterally, whereas transverse movement between lipid bilayers is limited. Phospholipids are asymmetrically distributed between membrane leaflets but change their location in biological processes, serving as signalling molecules or enzyme activators. Designated proteins - flippases and scramblases - mediate this lipid movement between the bilayers. Flippases mediate the confined localization of specific phospholipids (phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) and phosphatidylethanolamine) to the cytoplasmic leaflet. Scramblases randomly scramble phospholipids between leaflets and facilitate the exposure of PtdSer on the cell surface, which serves as an important signalling molecule and as an 'eat me' signal for phagocytes. Defects in flippases and scramblases cause various human diseases. We herein review the recent research on the structure of flippases and scramblases and their physiological roles. Although still poorly understood, we address the mechanisms by which they translocate phospholipids between lipid bilayers and how defects cause human diseases.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is the most common form of high-grade glioma in adults and has a poor survival rate with very limited treatment options. There have been no significant advancements in glioblastoma treatment in over 30 years. Epidermal growth factor receptor is upregulated in most glioblastoma tumours and, therefore, has been a drug target in recent targeted therapy clinical trials. However, while many inhibitors and antibodies for epidermal growth factor receptor have demonstrated promising anti-tumour effects in preclinical models, they have failed to improve outcomes for glioblastoma patients in clinical trials. This is likely due to the highly plastic nature of glioblastoma tumours, which results in therapeutic resistance. Ion channels are instrumental in the development of many cancers and may regulate cellular plasticity in glioblastoma. This review will explore the potential involvement of a class of calcium-activated chloride channels called anoctamins in brain cancer. We will also discuss the integrated role of calcium channels and anoctamins in regulating calcium-mediated signalling pathways, such as epidermal growth factor signalling, to promote brain cancer cell growth and migration.

Abstract
DOG1 is a transmembrane protein originally discovered on gastrointestinal stromal tumors and works as a calcium-activated chloride channel protein. There are a limited number of articles on the potential utility of this antibody in the diagnosis of salivary gland tumors in routine practice. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of DOG1 as an immunohistochemical marker in patients with salivary acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) through meta-analysis. A literature search was performed of the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases for English-language studies published from January 2010 to September 2021. The literature search revealed 148 articles, of which 20 were included in the study. The overall rate of DOG1 expression in salivary acinic cell carcinoma was 55% (95% CI = 0.43–0.58). Although ACC is a challenging diagnosis, paying careful attention to the cytomorphological features in conjunction with DOG1 immunostaining can help to reach an accurate diagnosis.

TMEM16A as a potential treatment target for head and neck cancer. JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL & CLINICAL CANCER RESEARCH : CR 2022; 41:196.

Abstract
Transmembrane protein 16A (TMEM16A) forms a plasma membrane-localized Ca2+-activated Cl- channel. Its gene has been mapped to an area on chromosome 11q13, which is amplified in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In HNSCC, TMEM16A overexpression is associated with not only high tumor grade, metastasis, low survival, and poor prognosis, but also deterioration of clinical outcomes following platinum-based chemotherapy. Recent study revealed the interaction between TMEM16A and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) has an indirect crosstalk in clarifying the mechanism of TMEM16A-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Moreover, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection can modulate TMEM16A expression along with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), whose phosphorylation has been reported as a potential co-biomarker of HPV-positive cancers. Considering that EGFR forms a functional complex with TMEM16A and is a co-biomarker of HPV, there may be crosstalk between TMEM16A expression and HPV-induced HNSCC. EGFR activation can induce programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) synthesis via activation of the nuclear factor kappa B pathway and JAK/STAT3 pathway. Here, we describe an interplay among EGFR, PD-L1, and TMEM16A. Combination therapy using TMEM16A and PD-L1 inhibitors may improve the survival rate of HNSCC patients, especially those resistant to anti-EGFR inhibitor treatment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review to propose a biological validation that combines immune checkpoint inhibition with TMEM16A inhibition.

Abstract
Mammalian expression systems, particularly the human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells, combined with electrophysiological studies, have greatly benefited our understanding of the function, characteristic, and regulation of various ion channels. It was previously assumed that the existence of endogenous ion channels in native HEK-293 cells could be negligible. Still, more and more ion channels are gradually reported in native HEK-293 cells, which should draw our attention. In this regard, we summarize the different ion channels that are endogenously expressed in HEK-293 cells, including voltage-gated Na+ channels, Ca2+ channels, K+ channels, Cl- channels, nonselective cation channels, TRP channels, acid-sensitive ion channels, and Piezo channels, which may complicate the recording of the heterogeneously expressed ion channels to a certain degree. We noted that the expression patterns and channel profiles varied with different studies, which may be due to the distinct originality of the cells, cell culture conditions, passage numbers, and different recording protocols. Therefore, a better knowledge of endogenous ion channels may help minimize potential problems in characterizing heterologously expressed ion channels. Based on this, it is recommended that HEK-293 cells from unknown sources should be examined before transfection for the characterization of their functional profile, especially when the expression level of exogenous ion channels does not overwhelm the endogenous ion channels largely, or the current amplitude is not significantly higher than the native currents.

Abstract
Dysregulation of gene amplification, cell-signaling-pathway transduction, epigenetic and transcriptional regulation, and protein interactions drives tumor-cell proliferation and invasion, while ion channels also play an important role in the generation and development of tumor cells. Overexpression of Ca2+-activated Cl- channel anoctamin 1 (ANO1) is shown in numerous cancer types and correlates with poor prognosis. However, the mechanisms involved in ANO1-mediated malignant cellular transformation and the role of ANO1 in tumor immunity remain unknown. In this review, we discuss recent studies to determine the role of ANO1 in tumorigenesis and provide novel insights into the role of ANO1 in the context of tumor immunity. Furthermore, we analyze the roles and potential mechanisms of ANO1 in different types of cancers, and provide novel notions for the role of ANO1 in the tumor microenvironment and for potential use of ANO1 in clinical applications. Our review shows that ANO1 is involved in tumor immunity and microenvironment, and may, therefore, be an effective biomarker and therapeutic drug target.

Abstract
Regulatory volume decrease (RVD), a homeostatic process responsible for the re-establishment of the original cell volume upon swelling, is critical in controlling several functions, including migration. RVD is mainly sustained by the swelling-activated Cl- current (ICl,swell ), which can be modulated by cytoplasmic Ca2+ . Cell swelling also activates mechanosensitive channels, including the ubiquitously expressed Ca2+ -permeable channel Piezo1. We hypothesized that, by controlling cytoplasmic Ca2+ and in turn ICl,swell , Piezo1 is involved in the fine regulation of RVD and cell migration. We compared RVD and ICl,swell in wild-type (WT) HEK293T cells, which express endogenous levels of Piezo1, and in cells overexpressing (OVER) or knockout (KO) for Piezo1. Compared to WT, RVD was markedly increased in OVER, while virtually absent in KO cells. Consistently, ICl,swell amplitude was highest in OVER and lowest in KO cells, with WT cells displaying an intermediate level, suggesting a Ca2+ -dependent modulation of the current by Piezo1 channels. Indeed, in the absence of external Ca2+ , ICl,swell in both WT and OVER cells, as well as the RVD probed in OVER cells, were significantly lower than in the presence of Ca2+ and no longer different compared to KO cells. However, the Piezo-mediated Ca2+ influx was ineffective in enhancing ICl,swell in the absence of releasable Ca2+ from intracellular stores. The different expression levels of Piezo1 affected also cell migration which was strongly enhanced in OVER, while reduced in KO cells, as compared to WT. Taken together, our data indicate that Piezo1 controls RVD and migration in HEK293T cells by modulating ICl,swell through Ca2+ influx.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that transmembrane protein 16A (TMEM16A) in nociceptive neurons is an important molecular component contributing to peripheral pain transduction. The present study aimed to evaluate the role and mechanism of TMEM16A in chronic nociceptive responses elicited by spared nerve injury (SNI). In this study, SNI was used to induce neuropathic pain. Drugs were administered intrathecally. The expression and cellular localization of TMEM16A, the ERK pathway, and NK-1 in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) were detected by western blot and immunofluorescence. Behavioral tests were used to evaluate the role of TMEM16A and p-ERK in SNI-induced persistent pain and hypersensitivity. The role of TMEM16A in the hyperexcitability of primary nociceptor neurons was assessed by electrophysiological recording. The results show that TMEM16A, p-ERK, and NK-1 are predominantly expressed in small neurons associated with nociceptive sensation. TMEM16A is colocalized with p-ERK/NK-1 in DRG. TMEM16A, the MEK/ERK pathway, and NK-1 are activated in DRG after SNI. ERK inhibitor or TMEM16A antagonist prevents SNI-induced allodynia. ERK and NK-1 are downstream of TMEM16A activation. Electrophysiological recording showed that CaCC current increases and intrathecal application of T16Ainh-A01, a selective TMEM16A inhibitor, reverses the hyperexcitability of DRG neurons harvested from rats after SNI. We conclude that TMEM16A activation in DRG leads to a positive interaction of the ERK pathway with activation of NK-1 production and is involved in the development of neuropathic pain after SNI. Also, the blockade of TMEM16A or inhibition of the downstream ERK pathway or NK-1 upregulation may prevent the development of neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Microdomains formed by proteins of endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane play a key role in store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). Ca2+ release through inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) and subsequent Ca2+ store depletion activate STIM (stromal interaction molecules) proteins, sensors of intraluminal Ca2+, which, in turn, open the Orai channels in plasma membrane. Downstream to this process could be activated TRPC (transient receptor potential-canonical) calcium permeable channels. Using single channel patch-clamp technique we found that a local Ca2+ entry through TRPC1 channels activated endogenous Ca2+-activated chloride channels (CaCCs) with properties similar to Anoctamin6 (TMEM16F). Our data suggest that their outward rectification is based on the dependence from membrane potential of both the channel conductance and the channel activity: (1) The conductance of active CaCCs highly depends on the transmembrane potential (from 3 pS at negative potentials till 60 pS at positive potentials); (2) their activity (NPo) is enhanced with increasing Ca2+ concentration and/or transmembrane potential, conversely lowering of intracellular Ca2+ concentration reduced the open state dwell time; (3) CaCC amplitude is only slightly increased by intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Experiments with Ca2+ buffering by EGTA or BAPTA suggest close local arrangement of functional CaCCs and TRPC1 channels. It is supposed that Ca2+-activated chloride channels are involved in Ca2+ entry microdomains.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs), expressed in various cells, play an important role in cell volume regulation. Despite being physiologically defined almost half a century ago, only the molecular candidates of VRAC, TMEM16A, LRRC8A, and bestrophin-1 (BEST1), are known. Here, we aimed to explore the functional significance of VRAC in, HST-1, an oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell line. METHODS Cell proliferation assays, RT-PCR, Western blot, and flow cytometry were used to estimate changes in gene expression and cell proliferation. Ion channel activity was recorded using the patch-clamp technique. Specific genes were knocked-down by siRNA assays. RESULTS VRAC, identified as a hypotonicity-induced current, was highly functional and associated with the proliferation of HST-1 cells but not of HaCaT (a normal keratinocyte) cells. The pharmacological profile of VRAC in HST-1 was similar to that reported previously. DCPIB, a specific VRAC inhibitor, completely inhibited VRAC and proliferation of HST-1 cells, eventually leading to apoptosis. VRAC in HST-1 was attenuated by the knockdown of TMEM16A and LRRC8A, while knockdown of BEST1 affected cell proliferation. In situ proximity ligation assay showed that TMEM16A and LRRC8A co-localized under isotonic conditions (300 mOsM) but were separated under hypotonic conditions (250 mOsM) on the plasma membrane. CONCLUSIONS We have found that VRAC acts to regulate the proliferation of human metastatic OSCC cells and the composition of VRAC may involve in the interactions between TMEM16A and LRRC8A in HST-1 cells.

Abstract
The TMEM16 protein family comprises two novel classes of structurally conserved but functionally distinct membrane transporters that function as Ca2+-dependent Cl- channels (CaCCs) or dual functional Ca2+-dependent ion channels and phospholipid scramblases. Extensive functional and structural studies have advanced our understanding of TMEM16 molecular mechanisms and physiological functions. TMEM16A and TMEM16B CaCCs control transepithelial fluid transport, smooth muscle contraction, and neuronal excitability, whereas TMEM16 phospholipid scramblases mediate the flip-flop of phospholipids across the membrane to allow phosphatidylserine externalization, which is essential in a plethora of important processes such as blood coagulation, bone development, and viral and cell fusion. In this chapter, we summarize the major methods in studying TMEM16 ion channels and scramblases and then focus on the current mechanistic understanding of TMEM16 Ca2+- and voltage-dependent channel gating as well as their ion and phospholipid permeation.

Abstract
All vertebrate cells activate Cl- currents (ICl ,swell) when swollen by hypotonic bath solution. The volume-regulated anion channel VRAC has now been identified as LRRC8/SWELL1. However, apart from VRAC, the Ca2+-activated Cl- channel (CaCC) TMEM16A and the phospholipid scramblase and ion channel TMEM16F were suggested to contribute to cell swelling-activated whole-cell currents. Cell swelling was shown to induce Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum and to cause subsequent Ca2+ influx. It is suggested that TMEM16A/F support intracellular Ca2+ signaling and thus Ca2+-dependent activation of VRAC. In the present study, we tried to clarify the contribution of TMEM16A to ICl ,swell. In HEK293 cells coexpressing LRRC8A and LRRC8C, we found that activation of ICl ,swell by hypotonic bath solution (Hypo; 200 mosm/l) was Ca2+ dependent. TMEM16A augmented the activation of LRRC8A/C by enhancing swelling-induced local intracellular Ca2+ concentrations. In HT29 cells, knockdown of endogenous TMEM16A attenuated ICl ,swell and changed time-independent swelling-activated currents to VRAC-typical time-dependent currents. Activation of ICl ,swell by Hypo was attenuated by blocking receptors for inositol trisphosphate and ryanodine (IP3R; RyR), as well as by inhibiting Ca2+ influx. The data suggest that TMEM16A contributes directly to ICl ,swell as it is activated through swelling-induced Ca2+ increase. As activation of VRAC is shown to be Ca2+-dependent, TMEM16A augments VRAC currents by facilitating Hypo-induced Ca2+ increase in submembraneous signaling compartments by means of ER tethering.

Abstract
Cerebral edema is a pathological hallmark of various central nervous system (CNS) insults, including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and excitotoxic injury such as stroke. Due to the rigidity of the skull, edema-induced increase of intracranial fluid significantly complicates severe CNS injuries by raising intracranial pressure and compromising perfusion. Mortality due to cerebral edema is high. With mortality rates up to 80% in severe cases of stroke, it is the leading cause of death within the first week. Similarly, cerebral edema is devastating for patients of TBI, accounting for up to 50% mortality. Currently, the available treatments for cerebral edema include hypothermia, osmotherapy, and surgery. However, these treatments only address the symptoms and often elicit adverse side effects, potentially in part due to non-specificity. There is an urgent need to identify effective pharmacological treatments for cerebral edema. Currently, ion channels represent the third-largest target class for drug development, but their roles in cerebral edema remain ill-defined. The present review aims to provide an overview of the proposed roles of ion channels and transporters (including aquaporins, SUR1-TRPM4, chloride channels, glucose transporters, and proton-sensitive channels) in mediating cerebral edema in acute ischemic stroke and TBI. We also focus on the pharmacological inhibitors for each target and potential therapeutic strategies that may be further pursued for the treatment of cerebral edema.

[PMID: 32380794 PMCID: PMC7291285 DOI: 10.3390/cells9051138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2020] [Revised: 05/01/2020] [Accepted: 05/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Casein kinase 2 (CK2) is a highly ubiquitous and conserved serine/threonine kinase that forms a tetramer consisting of a catalytic subunit (CK2α) and a regulatory subunit (CK2β). Despite being ubiquitous, CK2 is commonly found at higher expression levels in cancer cells, where it inhibits apoptosis, and supports cell migration and proliferation. The Ca2+-activated chloride channel TMEM16A shows similar effects in cancer cells: TMEM16A increases cell proliferation and migration and is highly expressed in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) as well as other malignant tumors. A microscopy-based high-throughput screening was performed to identify proteins that regulate TMEM16A. Within this screen, CK2 was found to be required for proper membrane expression of TMEM16A. small interfering (si) RNA-knockdown of CK2 reduced plasma membrane expression of TMEM16A and inhibited TMEM16A whole cell currents in (cystic fibrosis bronchial epithelial) CFBE airway epithelial cells and in the head and neck cancer cell lines Cal33 and BHY. Inhibitors of CK2, such as TBB and the preclinical compound CX4549 (silmitasertib), also blocked membrane expression of TMEM16A and Ca2+-activated whole cell currents. siRNA-knockout of CK2 and its pharmacological inhibition, as well as knockdown or inhibition of TMEM16A by either niclosamide or Ani9, attenuated cell proliferation. Simultaneous inhibition of CK2 and TMEM16A strongly potentiated inhibition of cell proliferation. Although membrane expression of TMEM16A is reduced by inhibition of CK2, our data suggest that the antiproliferative effects by inhibition of CK2 are mostly independent of TMEM16A. Simultaneous inhibition of TMEM16A by niclosamide and inhibition of CK2 by silmitasertib was additive with respect to blocking cell proliferation, while cytotoxicity was reduced when compared to solely blockade of CK2. Therefore, parallel blockade TMEM16A by niclosamide may assist with anticancer therapy by silmitasertib.

Abstract
The widely expressed Anoctamin 6 (Ano6) supports different Ca2+ -dependent functions, but little is known about its role in salivary glands. Mouse submandibular gland (SMG) acinar cells exhibited a robust regulatory volume decrease (RVD) following cell swelling that was reduced approximately 70% in Ano6-/- mice. Ca2+ -free conditions nearly eliminated the RVD response suggesting that Ano6 is an obligatory component of the cell volume-activated, Ca2+ -dependent RVD pathway in salivary gland acinar cells. Ex vivo agonist-stimulated secretion of water and ions was unaffected by Ano6 disruption under both isotonic and hypotonic conditions suggesting that Ano6 does not play a major role in fluid and electrolyte secretion. In contrast, the total amount of β-adrenergic-dependent protein secretion by the SMG was significantly reduced in Ano6-/- mice. Closer inspection of these latter results revealed that protein secretion was affected only in the female SMG by Ano6 disruption. These results indicate that Ano6 modulates the RVD response and protein secretion by salivary gland acinar cells.

Abstract
The volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC) plays a central role in maintaining cell volume in response to osmotic stress. Leucine-rich repeat-containing 8A (LRRC8A) was recently identified as an essential component of VRAC although other Cl- channels were also suggested to contribute to VRAC. VRAC is activated when a cell is challenged with a hypotonic environment or even in isotonic conditions challenged with different stimuli. It is not clear how VRAC is activated and whether activation of VRAC in hypotonic and isotonic conditions share the same mechanism. In this present study, we investigated relative contribution of LRRC8A and anoctamin 1(ANO1) to VRAC currents activated by fetal bovine serum (FBS) in isotonic condition, and studied the role of intracellular Ca2+ in this activation. We used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing approach, electrophysiology, and pharmacology approaches to show that VRAC currents induced by FBS is mostly mediated by LRRC8A in HEK293 cells, but also with significant contribution from ANO1. FBS induces Ca2+ transients and these Ca2+ signals are required for the activation of VRAC by serum. These findings will help to further understand the mechanism in activation of VRAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increase of the Ca2+-activated chloride channel TMEM16A is contribute to tumorigenesis. However, the expression level of TMEM16A and its underlying molecular mechanism for TMEM16Apromotingliver carcinogenesis is remains unknown. METHODS In the present study, the expression of TMEM16A in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues were measured by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), Western blot and immunohistochemical. Cell proliferation was detected using CCK-8, EdU staining and colony formation methods. Flow cytometry was carried out for detecting cell cycle distribution and apoptosis rate. Migration and invasion abilities were analyzed using transwell and wound healing assay. Western blot method was performed to analyze protein expression. RESULTS Here, we found TMEM16A was significantly increased in HCC tissues, and a higher TMEM16A expression levels were detected in larger tumor size, higher tumor grade, with distant metastasis and poor differentiation. Moreover, overexpression of TMEM16A promoted HCC growth, migration and invasion, and suppressed apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. Knockdown of TMEM16A inhibited HCC growth, migration and invasion, and induced apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, TMEM16A regulated PI3K/AKT-MAKP signaling pathway. CONCLUSION Our data indicate that TMEM16A may represent a novel biomarker of HCC and may be a potential therapeutic target for diagnosis and therapy.

Losartan Rescues Inflammation-related Mucociliary Dysfunction in Relevant Models of Cystic Fibrosis. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2020; 201:313-324. [PMID: 31613648 PMCID: PMC6999107 DOI: 10.1164/rccm.201905-0990oc] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2019] [Accepted: 10/09/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Despite therapeutic progress in treating cystic fibrosis (CF) airway disease, airway inflammation with associated mucociliary dysfunction remains largely unaddressed. Inflammation reduces the activity of apically expressed large-conductance Ca2+-activated and voltage-dependent K+ (BK) channels, critical for mucociliary function in the absence of CFTR (CF transmembrane conductance regulator).Objectives: To test losartan as an antiinflammatory therapy in CF using CF human bronchial epithelial cells and an ovine model of CF-like airway disease.Methods: Losartan's antiinflammatory effectiveness to rescue BK activity and thus mucociliary function was tested in vitro using primary, fully redifferentiated human airway epithelial cells homozygous for F508del and in vivo using a previously validated, now expanded pharmacologic sheep model of CF-like, inflammation-associated mucociliary dysfunction.Measurements and Main Results: Nasal scrapings from patients with CF showed that neutrophilic inflammation correlated with reduced expression of LRRC26 (leucine rich repeat containing 26), the γ subunit mandatory for BK function in the airways. TGF-β1 (transforming growth factor β1), downstream of neutrophil elastase, decreased mucociliary parameters in vitro. These were rescued by losartan at concentrations achieved by nebulization in the airway and oral application in the bloodstream: BK dysfunction recovered acutely and over time (the latter via an increase in LRRC26 expression), ciliary beat frequency and airway surface liquid volume improved, and mucus hyperconcentration and cellular inflammation decreased. These effects did not depend on angiotensin receptor blockade. Expanding on a validated and published nongenetic, CF-like sheep model, ewes inhaled CFTRinh172 and neutrophil elastase for 3 days, which resulted in prolonged tracheal mucus velocity reduction, mucus hyperconcentration, and increased TGF-β1. Nebulized losartan rescued both mucus transport and mucus hyperconcentration and reduced TGF-β1.Conclusions: Losartan effectively reversed CF- and inflammation-associated mucociliary dysfunction, independent of its angiotensin receptor blockade.

Abstract
Cancer metastasis is the most frequent cause of death for patients with cancer. The main current treatment for cancer metastasis is chemotherapy targeting cancer cells’ ability to proliferate. However, some types of cancer cells show resistance to chemotherapy. Recently, cancer cell migration has become the subject of interest as a novel target of cancer therapy. Cell migration requires many factors, such as the cytoskeleton, cell‐matrix adhesion and cell volume regulation. Here, we focus on cell volume regulation and the role of ion/water transport systems in cell migration. Transport proteins, such as ion channels, ion carriers, and aquaporins, are indispensable for cell volume regulation under steady‐state conditions and during exposure to osmotic stress. Studies from the last ~25 years have revealed that cell volume regulation also plays an important role in the process of cell migration. Water flow in accordance with localized osmotic gradients generated by ion transport contributes to the driving force for cell migration. Moreover, it has been reported that metastatic cancer cells have higher expression of these transport proteins than nonmetastatic cancer cells. Thus, ion/water transport proteins involved in cell volume regulation and cell migration could be novel therapeutic targets for cancer metastasis. In this review, after presenting the importance of ion/water transport systems in cell volume regulation, we discuss the roles of transport proteins in a pathophysiological context, especially in the context of cancer cell migration.

Abstract
The swelling-activated chloride current (ICl,swell) is induced when a cell swells and plays a central role in maintaining cell volume in response to osmotic stress. The major contributor of ICl,swell is the volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC). Leucine-rich repeat containing 8A (LRRC8A; SWELL1) was recently identified as an essential component of VRAC, but the mechanisms of VRAC activation are still largely unknown; moreover, other Cl- channels, such as anoctamin 1 (ANO1), were also suggested to contribute to ICl,swell. In this present study, we investigated the roles of LRRC8A and ANO1 in activation of ICl,swell; we also explored the role of intracellular Ca2+ in ICl,swell activation. We used a CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing approach, electrophysiology, live fluorescent imaging, selective pharmacology, and other approaches to show that both LRRC8A and ANO1 can be activated by cell swelling in HEK293 cells. Yet, both channels contribute biophysically and pharmacologically distinct components to ICl,swell, with LRRC8A being the major component. Cell swelling induced oscillatory Ca2+ transients, and these Ca2+ signals were required to activate both the LRRC8A- and ANO1-dependent components of ICl,swell. Both ICl,swell components required localized rather than global Ca2+ for activation. Interestingly, while intracellular Ca2+ was necessary and sufficient to activate ANO1, it was necessary but not sufficient to activate LRRC8A-mediated currents. Finally, Ca2+ transients linked to the ICl,swell activation were mediated by the G protein-coupled receptor-independent PLC isoforms.

Abstract
Ca2+ activated Cl- channels (TMEM16A; ANO1) support cell proliferation and cancer growth. Expression of TMEM16A is strongly enhanced in different types of malignomas. In contrast, TMEM16F (ANO6) operates as a Ca2+ activated chloride/nonselective ion channel and scrambles membrane phospholipids to expose phosphatidylserine at the cell surface. Both phospholipid scrambling and cell swelling induced through activation of nonselective ion currents appear to destabilize the plasma membrane thereby causing cell death. There is growing evidence that activation of TMEM16F contributes to various forms of regulated cell death. In the present study, we demonstrate that ferroptotic cell death, occurring during peroxidation of plasma membrane phospholipids activates TMEM16F. Ferroptosis was induced by erastin, an inhibitor of the cystine-glutamate antiporter and RSL3, an inhibitor of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). Cell death was largely reduced in the intestinal epithelium, and in peritoneal macrophages isolated from mice with tissue-specific knockout of TMEM16F. We show that TMEM16F is activated during erastin and RSL3-induced ferroptosis. In contrast, inhibition of ferroptosis by ferrostatin-1 and by inhibitors of TMEM16F block TMEM16F currents and inhibit cell death. We conclude that activation of TMEM16F is a crucial component during ferroptotic cell death, a finding that may be useful to induce cell death in cancer cells.

Abstract
Before anoctamins (TMEM16 proteins) were identified as a family of Ca2+-activated chloride channels and phospholipid scramblases, the founding member anoctamin 1 (ANO1, TMEM16A) was known as DOG1, a marker protein for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Meanwhile, ANO1 has been examined in more detail, and the role of ANO1 in cell proliferation and the development of different types of malignomas is now well established. While ANO5, ANO7, and ANO9 may also be relevant for growth of cancers, evidence has been provided for a role of ANO6 (TMEM16F) in regulated cell death. The cellular mechanisms by which anoctamins control cell proliferation and cell death, respectively, are just emerging; however, the pronounced effects of anoctamins on intracellular Ca2+ levels are likely to play a significant role. Recent results suggest that some anoctamins control membrane exocytosis by setting Ca2+i levels near the plasma membrane, and/or by controlling the intracellular Cl- concentration. Exocytosis and increased membrane trafficking induced by ANO1 and ANO6 may enhance membrane expression of other chloride channels, such as CFTR and volume activated chloride channels (VRAC). Notably, ANO6-induced phospholipid scrambling with exposure of phosphatidylserine is pivotal for the sheddase function of disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM). This may support cell death and tumorigenic activity of IL-6 by inducing IL-6 trans-signaling. The reported anticancer effects of the anthelminthic drug niclosamide are probably related to the potent inhibitory effect on ANO1, apart from inducing cell cycle arrest through the Let-7d/CDC34 axis. On the contrary, pronounced activation of ANO6 due to a large increase in intracellular calcium, activation of phospholipase A2 or lipid peroxidation, can lead to ferroptotic death of cancer cells. It therefore appears reasonable to search for both inhibitors and potent activators of TMEM16 in order to interfere with cancer growth and metastasis.

Abstract
There are a number of mammalian anion channel types associated with cell volume changes. These channel types are classified into two groups: volume-activated anion channels (VAACs) and volume-correlated anion channels (VCACs). VAACs can be directly activated by cell swelling and include the volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying anion channel (VSOR), which is also called the volume-regulated anion channel; the maxi-anion channel (MAC or Maxi-Cl); and the voltage-gated anion channel, chloride channel (ClC)-2. VCACs can be facultatively implicated in, although not directly activated by, cell volume changes and include the cAMP-activated cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) anion channel, the Ca2+-activated Cl- channel (CaCC), and the acid-sensitive (or acid-stimulated) outwardly rectifying anion channel. This article describes the phenotypical properties and activation mechanisms of both groups of anion channels, including accumulating pieces of information on the basis of recent molecular understanding. To that end, this review also highlights the molecular identities of both anion channel groups; in addition to the molecular identities of ClC-2 and CFTR, those of CaCC, VSOR, and Maxi-Cl were recently identified by applying genome-wide approaches. In the last section of this review, the most up-to-date information on the pharmacological properties of both anion channel groups, especially their half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50 values) and voltage-dependent blocking, is summarized particularly from the standpoint of pharmacological distinctions among them. Future physiologic and pharmacological studies are definitely warranted for therapeutic targeting of dysfunction of VAACs and VCACs.

Abstract
TMEM16A (also known as anoctamin 1, ANO1) is the molecular basis of the calcium-activated chloride channels, with ten transmembrane segments. Recently, atomic structures of the transmembrane domains of mouse TMEM16A (mTMEM16A) were determined by single-particle electron cryomicroscopy. This gives us a solid ground to discuss the electrophysiological properties and functions of TMEM16A. TMEM16A is reported to be dually regulated by Ca2+ and voltage. In addition, the dysfunction of TMEM16A has been found to be involved in many diseases including cystic fibrosis, various cancers, hypertension, and gastrointestinal motility disorders. TMEM16A is overexpressed in many cancers, including gastrointestinal stromal tumors, gastric cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), colon cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and esophageal cancer. Furthermore, overexpression of TMEM16A is related to the occurrence, proliferation, and migration of tumor cells. To date, several studies have shown that many natural compounds and synthetic compounds have regulatory effects on TMEM16A. These small molecule compounds might be novel drugs for the treatment of diseases caused by TMEM16A dysfunction in the future. In addition, recent studies have shown that TMEM16A plays different roles in different diseases through different signal transduction pathways. This review discusses the topology, electrophysiological properties, modulators and functions of TMEM16A in mediates nociception, gastrointestinal dysfunction, hypertension, and cancer and focuses on multiple regulatory mechanisms regarding TMEM16A.

Abstract
An elaborate volume regulation system based on interplay of ion channels and transporters was evolved to cope with constant osmotic challenges caused by intensive metabolism, transport and other physiological/pathophysiological events. In animal cells, two types of anion channels are directly activated by cell swelling and involved in the regulatory volume decrease (RVD): volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying anion channel (VSOR), also called volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC), and Maxi-Cl which is the most major type of maxi-anion channel (MAC). These two channels have very different biophysical profiles and exhibit opposite dependence on intracellular ATP. After several decades of verifying many false-positive candidates for VSOR and Maxi-Cl, LRRC8 family proteins emerged as major VSOR components, and SLCO2A1 protein as a core of Maxi-Cl. Still, neither of these proteins alone can fully reproduce the native channel phenotypes suggesting existence of missing components. Although both VSOR and Maxi-Cl have pores wide enough to accommodate bulky ATP4- and MgATP2- anions, evidence accumulated hitherto, based on pharmacological and gene silencing experiments, suggests that Maxi-Cl, but not VSOR, serves as one of the major pathways for the release of ATP from swollen and ischemic/hypoxic cells. Relations of VSOR and Maxi-Cl with diseases and their selective pharmacology are the topics promoted by recent advance in molecular identification of the two volume-activated, volume-regulatory anion channels.

Abstract
Falzone et al. interpret the mechanisms underlying the activity of TMEM16 family members from recent structural and functional work. The TMEM16 family of membrane proteins is composed of both Ca2+-gated Cl− channels and Ca2+-dependent phospholipid scramblases. The functional diversity of TMEM16s underlies their involvement in numerous signal transduction pathways that connect changes in cytosolic Ca2+ levels to cellular signaling networks. Indeed, defects in the function of several TMEM16s cause a variety of genetic disorders, highlighting their fundamental pathophysiological importance. Here, we review how our mechanistic understanding of TMEM16 function has been shaped by recent functional and structural work. Remarkably, the recent determination of near-atomic-resolution structures of TMEM16 proteins of both functional persuasions has revealed how relatively minimal rearrangements in the substrate translocation pathway are sufficient to precipitate the dramatic functional differences that characterize the family. These structures, when interpreted in the light of extensive functional analysis, point to an unusual mechanism for Ca2+-dependent activation of TMEM16 proteins in which substrate permeation is regulated by a combination of conformational rearrangements and electrostatics. These breakthroughs pave the way to elucidate the mechanistic bases of ion and lipid transport by the TMEM16 proteins and unravel the molecular links between these transport activities and their function in human pathophysiology.

Abstract
Limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2L (LGMD2L) and Miyoshi myopathy type 3 (MMD3) are autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy caused by mutations in the gene encoding anoctamin-5 (ANO5), which belongs to the anoctamin protein family. Two independent lines of mice with complete disruption of ANO5 transcripts did not exhibit overt muscular dystrophy phenotypes; instead, one of these mice was observed to present with some abnormality in sperm motility. In contrast, a third line of ANO5-knockout (KO) mice with residual expression of truncated ANO5 expression was reported to display defective membrane repair and very mild muscle pathology. Many of the ANO5-related patients carry point mutations or small insertions/deletions (indels) in the ANO5 gene. To more closely mimic the human ANO5 mutations, we engineered mutant ANO5 rabbits via co-injection of Cas9 mRNA and sgRNA into the zygotes. CRISPR-mediated small indels in the exon 12 and/or 13 in the mutant rabbits lead to the development of typical signs of muscular dystrophy with increased serum creatine kinase (CK), muscle necrosis, regeneration, fatty replacement and fibrosis. This novel ANO5 mutant rabbit model would be useful in studying the disease pathogenesis and therapeutic treatments for ANO5-deficient muscular dystrophy.

Abstract
Calcium-activated chloride secretion in epithelial tissues has been described for many years. However, the molecular identity of the channel responsible for the Ca2+-activated Cl− secretion in epithelial tissues has remained a mystery. More recently, TMEM16A has been identified as a new putative Ca2+-activated Cl− channel (CaCC). The primary goal of this article will be to review the characterization of TMEM16A, as it relates to the physical structure of the channel, as well as important residues that confer voltage and Ca2+-sensitivity of the channel. This review will also discuss the role of TMEM16A in epithelial physiology and potential associated-pathophysiology. This will include discussion of developed knockout models that have provided much needed insight on the functional localization of TMEM16A in several epithelial tissues. Finally, this review will examine the implications of the identification of TMEM16A as it pertains to potential novel therapies in several pathologies.

Abstract
DOG1 is an established diagnostic marker for gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST), but has been reported in salivary gland tumours (SGT) as an acinar and intercalated duct marker. However, its specificity and distribution is not well established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic utility of DOG-1 expression in SGT in addition to comparing it with myoepithelial markers. Normal salivary tissue and SGT (n = 184) were examined for expression of DOG1 and a range of myoepithelial markers. SGT included: acinic cell carcinoma (ACC, n = 15), secretory carcinoma (SC, n = 9), pleomorphic adenoma (PA, n = 49), carcinoma ex-PA (Ca ex-PA, n = 11), adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC, n = 20), polymorphous adenocarcinoma (PAC, n = 6), myoepithelioma (n = 6), myoepithelial carcinoma (MC, n = 2), basal cell adenoma (BCA, n = 14), canalicular adenoma (CA, n = 19), mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC, n = 11), oncocytoma (n = 2), adenocarcinoma NOS (AdNOS, n = 4), basal cell adenocarcinoma (BCAC, n = 2), salivary duct carcinoma (SDC, n = 3) and papillary cystadenocarcinoma (PCAC, n = 1). Normal acini and ACC (14/15) showed strong luminal DOG1 staining; SC were largely negative with only focal expression in 3/9 cases. Luminal staining was seen in PA (14/49), PAC (4/6), Ca ex-PA (4/11) and AdCC (6/20). 8/11 MEC showed luminal and/or mucous cell staining. No staining was seen in myoepithelioma, MC, CA, adNOS and BCAC. BCA showed strong staining of myoepithelial cells in some cases (5/14). Variable myoepithelial DOG1 staining was seen in PA, Ca ex PA, BCA, SDC and PCAC which was not as consistent as myoepithelial markers such as calponin, p63 and αSMA. Absence of DOG1 can differentiate ACC from SC, but staining is variable in PA, PLGA and Ca ex-PA. Myoepithelial staining in some tumours but not in normal gland suggests a wider distribution in SGT than originally envisaged.

Abstract
ANO1, a calcium-activated chloride channel, has been reported to be amplified or overexpressed in tissues of several cancers. However, reports on its roles in tumor progression obtained from cancer cell lines are inconsistent, suggesting that the role of ANO1 in tumorigenesis is likely dependent on either its expression level or cell-type expressing ANO1. To investigate the biological roles of ANO1 in different tumor cells, we, in this study, selected several cancer cell lines and a normal HaCaT cell line with high expression levels of ANO1, and examined the function of ANO1 in these cells using approaches of lentiviral knockdown and pharmacological inhibition. We found that ANO1 knockdown significantly inhibited cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis in either tumor cell lines or normal HaCaT cell line. Moreover, silencing ANO1 arrested cancer cells at G1 phase of cell cycle. Treatment with ANO1 inhibitor CaCCinh-A01 reduced cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, both ANO1 inhibitors CaCCinh-A01 and T16Ainh-A01 significantly suppressed cell migration. Our findings show that ANO1 overexpression promotes cancer cell proliferation and migration; and genetic or pharmacological inhibition of ANO1 induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G1 phase in different types of epithelium-originated cancer cells.

Contribution of TMEM16F to pyroptotic cell death. Cell Death Dis 2018; 9:300.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is a highly inflammatory form of programmed cell death that is caused by infection with intracellular pathogens and activation of canonical or noncanonical inflammasomes. The purinergic receptor P2X7 is activated by the noncanonical inflammasome and contributes essentially to pyroptotic cell death. The Ca2+ activated phospholipid scramblase and ion channel TMEM16F has been shown earlier to control cellular effects downstream of purinergic P2X7 receptors that ultimately lead to cell death. As pyroptotic cell death is accompanied by an increases in intracellular Ca2+, we asked whether TMEM16F is activated during pyroptosis. The N-terminal cleavage product of gasdermin D (GD-N) is an executioner of pyroptosis by forming large plasma membrane pores. Expression of GD-N enhanced basal Ca2+ levels and induced cell death. We observed that GD-N induced cell death in HEK293 and HAP1 cells, which was depending on expression of endogenous TMEM16F. GD-N activated large whole cell currents that were suppressed by knockdown or inhibition of TMEM16F. The results suggest that whole cell currents induced by the pore forming domain of gasdermin-D, are at least in part due to activation of TMEM16F. Knockdown of other TMEM16 paralogues expressed in HAP1 cells suggest TMEM16F as a crucial element during pyroptosis and excluded a role of other TMEM16 proteins. Thus TMEM16F supports pyroptosis and other forms of inflammatory cell death such as ferroptosis. Its potent inhibition by tannic acid may be part of the anti-inflammatory effects of flavonoids.

Abstract
KEY POINTS TMEM16 proteins can operate as Ca2+ -activated Cl- channels or scramble membrane phospholipids, which are both highly relevant mechanisms during disease. Overexpression of TMEM16A and TMEM16F were found to be partially active at 37°C and at resting intracellular Ca2+ concentrations. We show that TMEM16 Cl- currents and phospholipid scrambling can be activated by modification of plasma membrane phospholipids, through reactive oxygen species and phospholipase A2. While phospholipids and Cl- ions are likely to use the same pore within TMEM16F, TMEM16A only conducts Cl- ions. Lipid regulation of TMEM16 proteins is highly relevant during inflammation and regulated cell death such as apoptosis and ferroptosis. ABSTRACT TMEM16/anoctamin (ANO) proteins form Ca2+ -activated ion channels or phospholipid scramblases. We found that both TMEM16A/ANO1 and TMEM16F/ANO6 produced Cl- currents when activated by intracellular Ca2+ , but only TMEM16F was able to expose phosphatidylserine to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane. Mutations within TMEM16F or TMEM16A/F chimeras similarly changed Cl- currents and phospholipid scrambling, suggesting the same intramolecular pathway for Cl- and phospholipids. When overexpressed, TMEM16A and TMEM16F produced spontaneous Cl- currents at 37°C even at resting intracellular Ca2+ levels, which was abolished by inhibition of phospholipase A2 (PLA2 ). Connversely, activation of PLA2 or application of active PLA2 , as well as lipid peroxidation induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) using staurosporine or tert-butyl hydroperoxide, enhanced ion currents by TMEM16A/F and in addition activated phospholipid scrambling by TMEM16F. Thus, TMEM16 proteins are activated by an increase in intracellular Ca2+ , or independent of intracellular Ca2+ , by modifications occurring in plasma and intracellular membrane phospholipids. These results may help to explain why regions distant to the TMEM16 pore and the Ca2+ binding sites control Cl- currents and phospholipid scrambling. Regulation of TMEM16 proteins through modification of membrane phospholipids occurs during regulated cell death such as apoptosis and ferroptosis. It contributes to inflammatory and nerve injury-induced hypersensitivity and generation of pain and therefore provides a regulatory mechanism that is particularly relevant during disease.

Abstract
Airway epithelial cells express both Ca2+ activated TMEM16A/ANO1 and cAMP activated CFTR anion channels. Previous work suggested a significant crosstalk of intracellular Ca2+ and cAMP signaling pathways, leading to activation of both chloride channels. We demonstrate that in airway epithelial cells, stimulation of purinergic or muscarinic G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) activates TMEM16A and CFTR. Additional expression of Gq/11 and phospholipase C coupled GPCRs strongly enhanced the crosstalk between Ca2+- and cAMP-dependent signaling. Knockdown of endogenous GRCRs attenuated crosstalk and functional coupling between TMEM16A and CFTR. The number of receptors did not affect expression or membrane localization of TMEM16A or CFTR, but controlled assembly of the local signalosome. GPCRs translocate Ca2+-sensitive adenylate cyclase type 1 (ADCY1) and exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (EPAC1) to particular plasma membrane domains containing GPCRs, CFTR and TMEM16A, thereby producing compartmentalized Ca2+ and cAMP signals and significant crosstalk. While biosynthesis and membrane trafficking of CFTR requires a functional Golgi apparatus, maturation and membrane trafficking of TMEM16A may occur independent of the Golgi. Because Ca2+ activated TMEM16A currents are only transient, continuous Cl- secretion by airway epithelial cells requires CFTR. The present data also explain why receptor-dependent activation of TMEM16A is more efficient than direct stimulation by Ca2+.

Abstract
Nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEF) are emerging as a novel modality for cell stimulation and tissue ablation. However, the downstream protein effectors responsible for nsPEF bioeffects remain to be established. Here we demonstrate that nsPEF activate TMEM16F (or Anoctamin 6), a protein functioning as a Ca2+-dependent phospholipid scramblase and Ca2+-activated chloride channel. Using confocal microscopy and patch clamp recordings, we investigated the relevance of TMEM16F activation for several bioeffects triggered by nsPEF, including phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization, nanopore-conducted currents, membrane blebbing, and cell death. In HEK 293 cells treated with a single 300-ns pulse of 25.5 kV/cm, Tmem16f expression knockdown and TMEM16F-specific inhibition decreased nsPEF-induced PS exposure by 49 and 42%, respectively. Moreover, the Tmem16f silencing significantly decreased Ca2+-dependent chloride channel currents activated in response to the nanoporation. Tmem16f expression also affected nsPEF-induced cell blebbing, with only 20% of the silenced cells developing blebs compared with 53% of the control cells. This inhibition of cellular blebbing correlated with a 25% decrease in cytosolic free Ca2+ transient at 30 s after nanoporation. Finally, in TMEM16F-overexpressing cells, a train of 120 pulses (300 ns, 20 Hz, 6 kV/cm) decreased cell survival to 34% compared with 51% in control cells (*, p < 0.01). Taken together, these results indicate that TMEM16F activation by nanoporation mediates and enhances the diverse cellular effects of nsPEF.

Abstract
Neuropathic pain is a widespread chronic pain state that results from injury to the nervous system. Spinal microglia play a causative role in the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain through secretion of growth factors and cytokines. Here, we investigated the contribution of TMEM16F, a protein that functions as a Ca2+-dependent ion channel and a phospholipid scramblase, to microglial activity during neuropathic pain. We demonstrate that mice with a conditional ablation of TMEM16F in microglia do not develop mechanical hypersensitivity upon nerve injury. In the absence of TMEM16F, microglia display deficits in process motility and phagocytosis. Moreover, loss of GABA immunoreactivity upon injury is spared in TMEM16F conditional knockout mice. Collectively, these data indicate that TMEM16F is an essential component of the microglial response to injury and suggest the importance of microglial phagocytosis in the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain. Microglial TMEM16F channels are required for neuropathic pain development in mice TMEM16F-deficient microglia display deficits in process motility and phagocytosis Deleting TMEM16F spares injury-induced loss of spinal cord GABA immunoreactivity Microglial phagocytosis may contribute to neuropathic pain development

Abstract
From bacteria to mammals, different phospholipid species are segregated between the inner and outer leaflets of the plasma membrane by ATP-dependent lipid transporters. Disruption of this asymmetry by ATP-independent phospholipid scrambling is important in cellular signaling, but its mechanism remains incompletely understood. Using MD simulations coupled with experimental assays, we show that the surface hydrophilic transmembrane cavity exposed to the lipid bilayer on the fungal scramblase nhTMEM16 serves as the pathway for both lipid translocation and ion conduction across the membrane. Ca2+ binding stimulates its open conformation by altering the structure of transmembrane helices that line the cavity. We have identified key amino acids necessary for phospholipid scrambling and validated the idea that ions permeate TMEM16 Cl- channels via a structurally homologous pathway by showing that mutation of two residues in the pore region of the TMEM16A Ca2+-activated Cl- channel convert it into a robust scramblase.

Abstract
TMEM16A (known as anoctamin 1) Ca2+-activated chloride channel is overexpressed in many tumors. TMEM16A overexpression can be caused by gene amplification in many tumors harboring 11q13 amplification. TMEM16A expression is also controlled in many cancer cells via transcriptional regulation, epigenetic regulation and microRNAs. In addition, TMEM16A activates different signaling pathways in different cancers, e.g. the EGFR and CAMKII signaling in breast cancer, the p38 and ERK1/2 signaling in hepatoma, the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK1/2 signaling in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and bladder cancer, and the NFκB signaling in glioma. Furthermore, TMEM16A overexpression has been reported to promote, inhibit, or produce no effects on cell proliferation and migration in different cancer cells. Since TMEM16A exerts different roles in different cancer cells via activation of distinct signaling pathways, we try to develop the idea that TMEM16A regulates cancer cell proliferation and migration in a cell-dependent mechanism. The cell-specific role of TMEM16A may depend on the cellular environment that is predetermined by TMEM16A overexpression mechanisms specific for a particular cancer type. TMEM16A may exert its cell-specific role via its associated protein networks, phosphorylation by different kinases, and involvement of different signaling pathways. In addition, we discuss the role of TMEM16A channel activity in cancer, and its clinical use as a prognostic and predictive marker in different cancers. This review highlights the cell-type specific mechanisms of TMEM16A in cancer, and envisions the promising use of TMEM16A inhibitors as a potential treatment for TMEM16A-overexpressing cancers.

Abstract
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) isolated from the rabbit urethra exhibit Ca2+-activated Cl- currents (I ClCa) that are important for the development of urethral tone. Here, we examined if TMEM16A (ANO1) contributed to this activity by examining the effect of "new-generation" TMEM16A inhibitors, CACCinh-A01 and T16Ainh-A01, on I ClCa recorded from freshly isolated rabbit urethral ICC (RUICC) and on contractions of intact strips of rabbit urethra smooth muscle. Real-time quantitative PCR experiments demonstrated that TMEM16A was highly expressed in rabbit urethra smooth muscle, in comparison to TMEM16B and TMEM16F. Single-cell RT-PCR experiments revealed that only TMEM16A was expressed in freshly isolated RUICC. Depolarization-evoked I ClCa in isolated RUICC, recorded using voltage clamp, were inhibited by CACCinh-A01 and T16Ainh-A01 with IC50 values of 1.2 and 3.4 μM, respectively. Similarly, spontaneous transient inward currents (STICs) recorded from RUICC voltage clamped at -60 mV and spontaneous transient depolarizations (STDs), recorded in current clamp, were also inhibited by CACCinh-A01 and T16Ainh-A01. In contrast, spontaneous Ca2+ waves in isolated RUICC were only partially reduced by CACCinh-A01 and T16Ainh-A01. Finally, neurogenic contractions of strips of rabbit urethra smooth muscle (RUSM), evoked by electric field stimulation (EFS), were also significantly reduced by CACCinh-A01 and T16Ainh-A01. These data are consistent with the idea that TMEM16A is involved with CACCs in RUICC and in contraction of rabbit urethral smooth muscle.

Abstract
Microglia cells, resident immune cells of the brain, survey brain parenchyma by dynamically extending and retracting their processes. Cl− channels, activated in the cellular response to stretch/swelling, take part in several functions deeply connected with microglia physiology, including cell shape changes, proliferation, differentiation and migration. However, the molecular identity and functional properties of these Cl− channels are largely unknown. We investigated the properties of swelling-activated currents in microglial from acute hippocampal slices of Cx3cr1+/GFP mice by whole-cell patch-clamp and imaging techniques. The exposure of cells to a mild hypotonic medium, caused an outward rectifying current, developing in 5–10 minutes and reverting upon stimulus washout. This current, required for microglia ability to extend processes towards a damage signal, was carried mainly by Cl− ions and dependent on intracellular Ca2+. Moreover, it involved swelling-induced ATP release. We identified a purine-dependent mechanism, likely constituting an amplification pathway of current activation: under hypotonic conditions, ATP release triggered the Ca2+-dependent activation of anionic channels by autocrine purine receptors stimulation. Our study on native microglia describes for the first time the functional properties of stretch/swelling-activated currents, representing a key element in microglia ability to monitor the brain parenchyma.

Abstract
The Ca2+-activated Cl- channel TMEM16A [anoctamin (ANO)1] is homologous to yeast Ist2 and has been shown to tether the cortical endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the plasma membrane. We therefore examined whether ANO1 and other members of the ANO family affect intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) signals. It is shown that expression of ANO1 augments Ca2+ store release upon stimulation of GPCRs, whereas knockdown of ANO1, or lack of Ano1 expression in Ano1-/- animals, as shown in an earlier report, inhibits Ca2+ release. ANO6, and -10 show similar effects, whereas expression of ANO4, -8, and -9 attenuate filling of the ER store. The impact of ANO1 and -4 were examined in more detail. ANO1 colocalized and interacted with IP3R, whereas ANO4 colocalized with SERCA Ca2+ pumps and interacted with ORAI-1 channels, respectively. ANO1 Cl currents were rapidly activated exclusively through Ca2+ store release, and remained untouched by influx of extracellular Ca2+ In contrast expression of ANO4 caused a delayed activation of membrane-localized ANO6 channels, solely through store-operated Ca2+ entry via ORAI. Ca2+ signals were inhibited by knocking down expression of endogenous ANO1, -5, -6, and -10 and were also reduced in epithelial cells from Ano10-/- mice. The data suggest that ANOs affect compartmentalized [Ca2+]i signals, which may explain some of the cellular defects related to ANO mutations.-Cabrita, I., Benedetto, R., Fonseca, A., Wanitchakool, P., Sirianant, L., Skryabin, B.
