Tyrosine phosphorylation tunes chemical and thermal sensitivity of TRPV2 ion channel.

ABSTRACT: Transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) is a multimodal ion channel implicated in diverse physiopathological processes. Its important involvement in immune responses has been suggested such as in the macrophages' phagocytosis process. However, the endogenous signaling cascades controlling the gating of TRPV2 remain to be understood. Here, we report that enhancing tyrosine phosphorylation remarkably alters the chemical and thermal sensitivities of TRPV2 endogenously expressed in rat bone marrow-derived macrophages and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. We identify that the protein tyrosine kinase JAK1 mediates TRPV2 phosphorylation at the molecular sites Tyr(335), Tyr(471), and Tyr(525). JAK1 phosphorylation is required for maintaining TRPV2 activity and the phagocytic ability of macrophages. We further show that TRPV2 phosphorylation is dynamically balanced by protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 1 (PTPN1). PTPN1 inhibition increases TRPV2 phosphorylation, further reducing the activation temperature threshold. Our data thus unveil an intrinsic mechanism where the phosphorylation/dephosphorylation dynamic balance sets the basal chemical and thermal sensitivity of TRPV2. Targeting this pathway will aid therapeutic interventions in physiopathological contexts.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading form of dementia, characterized by the accumulation and aggregation of amyloid in brain. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) is an ion channel involved in diverse physiopathological processes, including microglial phagocytosis. Previous studies suggested that cannabidiol (CBD), an activator of TRPV2, improves microglial amyloid-β (Aβ) phagocytosis by TRPV2 modulation. However, the molecular mechanism of TRPV2 in microglial Aβ phagocytosis remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the involvement of TRPV2 channel in microglial Aβ phagocytosis and the underlying mechanisms. Utilizing human datasets, mouse primary neuron and microglia cultures, and AD model mice, to evaluate TRPV2 expression and microglial Aβ phagocytosis in both in vivo and in vitro. TRPV2 was expressed in cortex, hippocampus, and microglia.Cannabidiol (CBD) could activate and sensitize TRPV2 channel. Short-term CBD (1 week) injection intraperitoneally (i.p.) reduced the expression of neuroinflammation and microglial phagocytic receptors, but long-term CBD (3 week) administration (i.p.) induced neuroinflammation and suppressed the expression of microglial phagocytic receptors in APP/PS1 mice. Furthermore, the hyper-sensitivity of TRPV2 channel was mediated by tyrosine phosphorylation at the molecular sites Tyr(338), Tyr(466), and Tyr(520) by protein tyrosine kinase JAK1, and these sites mutation reduced the microglial Aβ phagocytosis partially dependence on its localization. While TRPV2 was palmitoylated at Cys 277 site and blocking TRPV2 palmitoylation improved microglial Aβ phagocytosis. Moreover, it was demonstrated that TRPV2 palmitoylation was dynamically regulated by ZDHHC21. Overall, our findings elucidated the intricate interplay between TRPV2 channel regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation/dephosphorylation and cysteine palmitoylation/depalmitoylation, which had divergent effects on microglial Aβ phagocytosis. These findings provide valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms linking microglial phagocytosis and TRPV2 sensitivity, and offer potential therapeutic strategies for managing AD.

Project description:The cation channel TRPV2 is known to be expressed by murine macrophages and is crucially involved in their functionality. Macrophages are frequent cells of the mouse testis, an immune-privileged and steroid-producing organ. TRPV2 expression by testicular macrophages and possible changes associated with age or inflammation have not been investigated yet. Therefore, we studied testes of young adult and old wild-type (WT) and AROM+ mice, i.e., transgenic mice overexpressing aromatase. In these animals, inflammatory changes are described in the testis, involving active macrophages, which increase with age. This is associated with impaired spermatogenesis and therefore AROM+ mice are a model for male infertility associated with sterile inflammation. In WT animals, testicular TRPV2 expression was mapped to interstitial CD206+ and peritubular MHC II+ macrophages, with higher levels in CD206+ cells. Expression levels of TRPV2 and most macrophage markers did not increase significantly in old mice, with the exception of CD206. As the number of TRPV2+ testicular macrophages was relatively small, their possible involvement in testicular functions and in aging in WT mice remains to be further studied. In AROM+ testis, TRPV2 was readily detected and levels increased significantly with age, together with macrophage markers and TNF-α. TRPV2 co-localized with F4/80 in macrophages and further studies showed that TRPV2 is mainly expressed by unusual CD206+MHC II+ macrophages, arising in the testis of these animals. Rescue experiments (aromatase inhibitor treatment and crossing with ERαKO mice) restored the testicular phenotype and also abolished the elevated expression of TRPV2, macrophage and inflammation markers. This suggests that TRPV2+ macrophages of the testis are part of an inflammatory cascade initiated by an altered sex hormone balance in AROM+ mice. The changes in testis are distinct from the described alterations in other organs of AROM+, such as prostate and spleen. When we monitored TRPV2 levels in another immune-privileged organ, namely the brain, we found that levels of TRPV2 were not elevated in AROM+ and remained stable during aging. In the adrenal, which similar to the testis produces steroids, we found slight, albeit not significant increases in TRPV2 in both AROM+ and WT mice, which were associated with age. Thus, the changes in the testis are specific for this organ.

Project description:Background Vestibular migraine (VM) is a disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of dizziness or vertigo and is often accompanied by headache. The mechanisms underlying vestibular dysfunction and pain in VM remain unclear. Methods Chronic migraine (CM) and VM models were induced by NTG and kainic acid, respectively. Behavioral assessments were conducted to evaluate vestibular dysfunction and pain in the VM and CM models. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to examine peripheral receptor impairment. Immunofluorescence, including staining for Cellular Proto-oncogene (c-Fos), Neuronal Nuclei (NeuN), and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), identified activated brain regions such as the cortex, midbrain, and cerebellum. Multiplex immunohistochemistry and cholera toxin subunit B (CTB) tracing were performed to analyze nuclear heterogeneity and neural communication. Additionally, RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and Ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (IBA1) immunostaining were used to investigate ion channel expression in the spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis (Sp5c). Results CM and VM-related behaviors, such as allodynia and balance disturbance, were successfully reproduced in mouse model. TEM revealed significant damage to peripheral sensory receptors, particularly in the trigeminal ganglion and cochlear cells. Distinct activation patterns of c-Fos and CGRP were observed in VMs and CMs. CTB tracing confirmed that signals are transmitted from the vestibulocerebellum (VbC) to the Sp5c via the vestibular nuclei (VN). Furthermore, RNA-Seq combined with coimmunostaining revealed an increased expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) ion channels in microglia within Sp5c, indicating their potential role in VM pathology. Conclusions This study preliminarily explored VbC-VN-Sp5c communication and identified TRPV2 ion channels in microglia as key players in neuron-glia crosstalk in VM. These findings provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying vestibular migraine and suggest potential therapeutic targets.
