Rise and Fall of Kir2.2 Current by TLR4 Signaling in Human Monocytes: PKC-Dependent Trafficking and PI3K-Mediated PIP2 Decrease. THE JOURNAL OF IMMUNOLOGY 2015; 195:3345-54.

Abstract
LPSs are widely used to stimulate TLR4, but their effects on ion channels in immune cells are poorly known. In THP-1 cells and human blood monocytes treated with LPS, inwardly rectifying K(+) channel current (IKir,LPS) newly emerged at 1 h, peaked at 4 h (-119 ± 8.6 pA/pF), and decayed afterward (-32 ± 6.7 pA/pF at 24 h). Whereas both the Kir2.1 and Kir2.2 mRNAs and proteins were observed, single-channel conductance (38 pS) of IKir,LPS and small interfering RNA-induced knockdown commonly indicated Kir2.2 than Kir2.1. LPS-induced cytokine release and store-operated Ca(2+) entry were commonly decreased by ML-133, a Kir2 inhibitor. Immunoblot, confocal microscopy, and the effects of vesicular trafficking inhibitors commonly suggested plasma membrane translocation of Kir2.2 by LPS. Both IKir,LPS and membrane translocation of Kir2.2 were inhibited by GF109203X (protein kinase C [PKC] inhibitor) or by transfection with small interfering RNA-specific PKCε. Interestingly, pharmacological activation of PKC by PMA induced both Kir2.1 and Kir2.2 currents. The spontaneously decayed IKir,LPS at 24 h was recovered by PI3K inhibitors but further suppressed by an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol(3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PIP3) phosphatase (phosphatase and tensin homolog). However, IKir,LPS at 24 h was not affected by Akt inhibitors, suggesting that the decreased phosphatidylinositol(4,5)-bisphosphate availability, that is, conversion into PIP3 by PI3K, per se accounts for the decay of IKir,LPS. Taken together, to our knowledge these data are the first demonstrations that IKir is newly induced by TLR4 stimulation via PKC-dependent membrane trafficking of Kir2.2, and that conversion of phosphatidylinositol(4,5)-bisphosphate to PIP3 modulates Kir2.2. The augmentation of Ca(2+) influx and cytokine release suggests a physiological role for Kir2.2 in TLR4-stimulated monocytes.

Abstract
Background The differentiation resp. death of human monocytic THP-1 cells induced by polysaccharide extracts of the medicinal mushrooms Phellinus linteus, Agaricus bisporus and Agaricus brasiliensis have been studied. This study aims to identify leads for the causal effects of these mushroom components on cell differentiation and death. Methods THP-1 cells were treated with different polysaccharide extracts of mushrooms and controls. Morphological effects were observed by light microscopy. Flow cytometry was applied to follow the cell differentiation by cell cycle shifts after staining with propidium iodide, changes of mitochondrial membrane potential after incubation with JC-1, and occurrence of intracellular reactive oxygen species after incubation with hydroethidine. Principal component analysis of the data was performed to evaluate the cellular effects of the different treatments. Results P. linteus polysaccharide extracts induced dose-dependent apoptosis of THP-1 cells within 24 h, while A. bisporus and A. brasiliensis polysaccharide extracts caused differentiation into macrophages. A pure P. linteus polysaccharide had no effect. Apoptosis was inhibited by preincubating THP-1 cells with human serum. The principal component analysis revealed that P. linteus, A. bisporus and A. brasiliensis polysaccharide extracts increased reactive oxygen species production. Both A. bisporus and A. brasiliensis polysaccharide extracts decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential, while this was increased by P. linteus polysaccharide extracts. Conclusions P. linteus polysaccharide extracts caused apoptosis of THP-1 monocytes while A. bisporus and A. brasiliensis polysaccharide extracts caused these cells to differentiate into macrophages. The protective effects of human serum suggested that P. linteus polysaccharide extract induced apoptosis by extrinsic pathway, i.e. by binding to the TRAIL receptor. The mitochondrial membrane potential together with reactive oxygen species seems to play an important role in cell differentiation and cell death.

Abstract
Extracellular acidic pH-activated chloride channels (ICl,acid) have been found in a variety of mammalian cells. In the present study, the expression and regulation of ICl,acid were investigated in THP-1 cells. Patch clamp recordings demonstrated that an extracellular acidic solution induced an outward rectified current, which could be blocked by the Cl(-) channel blocker. The currents exhibited time-dependent facilitation and inactivation. The relative anion permeability of this current followed the sequence Cl(-)>Br(-)>I(-)>gluconate. NADPH oxidase inhibitors did not decrease pH 4.4-induced currents. However, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers and mitochondrial inhibitors inhibited pH 4.4-induced currents. Fluorescence imaging of intracellular ROS and mitochondrial activity confirmed these findings. We conclude that ICl,acid occurs in human THP-1 cells and that ICl,acid may be regulated by intracellular ROS mainly originating from mitochondria.

Abstract
Certain forms of heart disease involve gross morphological changes to the myocardium that alter its hemodynamic loading conditions. These changes can ultimately lead to the increased deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, such as collagen and fibronectin, which together work to pathologically alter the myocardium's bulk tissue mechanics. In addition to changing the mechanical properties of the heart, this maladaptive remodeling gives rise to changes in myocardium electrical conductivity and synchrony since the tissue's mechanical properties are intimately tied to its electrical characteristics. This phenomenon, called mechanoelectrical coupling (MEC), can render individuals affected by heart disease arrhythmogenic and susceptible to Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD). The underlying mechanisms of MEC have been attributed to various processes, including the action of stretch activated channels and changes in troponin C-Ca(2+) binding affinity. However, changes in the heart post infarction or due to congenital myopathies are also accompanied by shifts in the expression of various molecular components of cardiomyocytes, including the mechanosensitive family of integrin proteins. As transmembrane proteins, integrins mechanically couple the ECM with the intracellular cytoskeleton and have been implicated in mediating ion homeostasis in various cell types, including neurons and smooth muscle. Given evidence of altered integrin expression in the setting of heart disease coupled with the associated increased risk for arrhythmia, we argue in this review that integrin signaling contributes to MEC. In light of the significant mortality associated with arrhythmia and SCD, close examination of all culpable mechanisms, including integrin-mediated MEC, is necessary.

Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 regulates voltage-gated K+ channels and macrophage transmigration. J Neuroimmune Pharmacol 2008; 4:47-59.

Abstract
Progressive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection and virus-induced neuroinflammatory responses effectuate monocyte-macrophage transmigration across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). A key factor in mediating these events is monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1). Upregulated glial-derived MCP-1 in HIV-1-infected brain tissues generates a gradient for monocyte recruitment into the nervous system. We posit that the inter-relationships between MCP-1, voltage-gated ion channels, cell shape and volume, and cell mobility underlie monocyte transmigration across the BBB. In this regard, MCP-1 serves both as a chemoattractant and an inducer of monocyte-macrophage ion flux affecting cell shape and mobility. To address this hypothesis, MCP-1-treated bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) were analyzed for gene and protein expression, electrophysiology, and capacity to migrate across a laboratory constructed BBB. MCP-1 enhanced K+ channel gene (KCNA3) and channel protein expression. Electrophysiological studies revealed that MCP-1 increased outward K+ currents in a dose-dependent manner. In vitro studies demonstrated that MCP-1 increased BMM migration across an artificial BBB, and the MCP-1-induced BMM migration was blocked by tetraethylammonium, a voltage-gated K+ channel blocker. Together these data demonstrated that MCP-1 affects macrophage migratory movement through regulation of voltage-gated K+ channels and, as such, provides a novel therapeutic strategy for neuroAIDS.

Abstract
The expression in microglia of two K+ channel populations, inwardly- and delayed outwardly rectifying channels (Kir, Kdr), is under the control of a variety of signals among which inflammatory and immunomodulatory agents. This makes K+ channels good candidates for the control of cell activities and for their adaptation to the changes of the functional state of the cell. Here we investigated on the role played by Kir channels in the control of cytoplasmic Ca2+ movements. In particular, we focused on those linked to nucleotide receptors, which are known to regulate a variety of functions in microglia. By a Fura-2-based video-imaging approach we recorded Ca2+ transients induced by P2 activation. These were composed of an initial peak, mainly due to release from endoplasmic reticulum, and of a long lasting plateau linked to Ca2+ influx through cation non-selective and capacitative channels. In patch-clamp experiments, we observed that Ba2+ (1-100 microM) could inhibit Kir current, but was not effective on Kdr and ATP-induced K+ current. By using Ba2+ as a specific blocker of Kir channels, we found that their inhibition caused a decrease of the Ca2+ level, especially at the end of the 20s long agonist application period. The effect of Ba2+ was mimicked by high K(+)-induced depolarization. We conclude that Kir channels contribute to modulate the amplitude and time course of the ATP-induced Ca2+ transient through the control of membrane potential. We suggest that microglial cells adapt signal transduction mechanisms to the changes of their functional state also by varying the expression and modulating the activity of inwardly rectifying K+ channels.

Abstract
Endothelial cell vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) activates adherent monocytes by clustering their very late antigen-4 (VLA-4) receptors, resulting in the modulation of the inwardly rectifying (I(ir)) and delayed rectifying (I(dr)) K(+) currents, hyperpolarization of the cells, and enhanced Ca(2+) influx (Colden-Stanfield M and Gallin EK. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 275: C267-C277, 1998; Colden-Stanfield M and Scanlon M. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 279: C488-C494, 2000). The present study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against VLA-4 (MAbVLA-4) mimic VCAM-1 to cluster VLA-4 integrins, which play a key role in signaling an increase in the secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-8 (IL-8). Whole cell ionic currents and IL-8 secretion from THP-1 monocytes that were incubated on polystyrene, VCAM-1-immobilized MAbVLA-4 or an isotype-matched MAb against CD45 (MAbCD45) were measured. Clustering of VLA-4 integrins with a cross-linked MAbVLA-4, but not a monovalent MAbVLA-4, modulated the K(+) currents in an identical manner to incubation of cells on VCAM-1. Similarly, cross-linked MAbVLA-4 or VCAM-1 augmented Ca(2+)-mediated IL-8 secretion from THP-1 monocytes and was completely abolished by exposure to CsCl, an I(ir) blocker. Thus VLA-4 integrin clustering by cross-linked MAbVLA-4 mimics VCAM-1/VLA-4 interactions sufficiently to be associated with events leading to monocyte differentiation, enhanced Ca(2+)-mediated macrophage function, and possibly atherosclerotic plaque formation.
