TRPV1 activation and internalization is part of the LPS-induced inflammation in human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes.

ABSTRACT: The non-selective cation channel transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is expressed throughout the cardiovascular system. Recent evidence shows a role for TRPV1 in inflammatory processes. The role of TRPV1 for myocardial inflammation has not been established yet. Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM) from 4 healthy donors were incubated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS, 6 h), TRPV1 agonist capsaicin (CAP, 20 min) or the antagonist capsazepine (CPZ, 20 min). TRPV1 expression was studied by PCR and western blotting. TRPV1 internalization was analyzed by immunofluorescence. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion and phosphorylation of JNK, p38 and ERK were determined by ELISA. TRPV1-associated ion channel current was measured by patch clamp. TRPV1-mRNA and -protein were expressed in hiPSC-CM. TRPV1 was localized in the plasma membrane. LPS significantly increased secretion of IL-6 by 2.3-fold, which was prevented by pre-incubation with CPZ. LPS induced TRPV1 internalization. Phosphorylation levels of ERK, p38 or JNK were not altered by TRPV1 stimulation or inhibition. LPS and IL-6 significantly lowered TRPV1-mediated ion channel current. TRPV1 mediates the LPS-induced inflammation in cardiomyocytes, associated with changes of cellular electrophysiology. LPS-induced inflammation results in TRPV1 internalization. Further studies have to examine the underlying pathways and the clinical relevance of these findings.

Project description:Acute inflammation (INF) and apoptosis are induced in monocytes by the generation of several factors, including the products of cytosolic oxygen free radicals (cROS) and the excessive influx of Ca2+ via the stimulation of TRPV1. These are main factors in the etiology of monocyte activation-induced inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Importantly, the protective action of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) treatment via the inhibition of TRPV1 on the levels of inflammatory factors, cROS, and apoptosis in acute INF (lipopolysaccharide, LPS)-exposed neuronal cells was recently reported. However, the relationships between acute INF via TRPV1 activation and HCQ in monocytes have not been fully clarified yet. The cell membrane of U937 human monocytes contains natural TRPV1. In the study plan, we used U937 cells in four main groups, namely control, HCQ (60 μM for 48 h), INF (1 μg/mL LPS for 16 h), and HCQ + INF. The current data indicate that LPS-induced acute INF caused the upregulation of excessive cytosolic Ca2+ accumulation via the stimulation of TRPV1 in the cells. The treatment of INF additionally upregulated the levels of apoptosis and cytokines (IL6, IL1β, and TNFα), due to upregulated cROS and lipid peroxidation levels as well as upregulated generation of caspase -3 (CAS3) and -9 (CAS9) but a decrease in glutathione and glutathione peroxidase. The expression levels of TRPV1, Bax, CAS3, and CAS9 were also upregulated by the treatment of LPS. However, treatment with HCQ and TRPV1 blocker (capsazepine) modulated the levels of cytokines, caspases, cROS, Ca2+ influx, and apoptosis through the modulation of TRPV1 in the U937 that were stimulated with LPS. In summary, the present data suggest TRPV1 activation through the acute INF (LPS)-induced inflammatory, oxidant, and apoptotic adverse actions in monocyte cells, whereas HCQ prevented adverse actions via the modulation of TRPV1. The results may be significant in the modulation of monocyte activation-caused inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.
