TMC4 is a novel chloride channel involved in high-concentration salt taste sensation

ABSTRACT: Taste substances are received by taste receptors expressed in taste cells. “Salty taste” sensation is evoked when sodium and chloride ions are present together in the oral cavity. The presence of an epithelial cation channel that receives Na+ has previously been reported. However, no molecular entity involving Cl- receptors has been elucidated. We report the strong expression of transmembrane channel-like 4 (TMC4) in the circumvallate and foliate papillae projected to the glossopharyngeal nerve, mediating a high-concentration of NaCl. Electrophysiological analysis using HEK293T cells revealed that TMC4 was a voltage-dependent Cl- channel and the consequent currents were completely inhibited by NPPB, an anion channel blocker. This channel could be activated without an increase in intracellular calcium ion. TMC4 allowed permeation of organic anions including gluconate, but their current amplitudes at positive potentials were less than that of Cl-. Tmc4-deficient mice showed significantly weaker glossopharyngeal nerve response to high-concentration of NaCl than the wild-type littermates. These results indicated that TMC4 is a novel chloride channel that responds to high-concentration of NaCl.

Clca1 expression in the aged kidney in mice

Project description:In this study, a discovery approach was designed to identify novel mRNA transcripts that may be involved in kidney aging. RNA-Seq revealed increase in the expression of Clca1 mRNA in the aged kidney. CLCA1 facilitates Cl- current operated by TMEM16A, a Ca++-dependent Cl- channel. Cl- movement accompanied by cations such as Na+ and K+ or in exchange for other anions occurs among fluid compartments in many segments of the nephron. Cl- shift among these compartments is governed by electrochemical potential and transporters and exchangers.

Anoctamin 1 controls bone resorption by coupling Cl- channel activation with RANKL-RANK signaling transduction

Project description:Osteoclast over-activation leads to bone loss and chloride homeostasis is fundamental for osteoclast function. The calcium-activated chloride channel Anoctamin 1 (also known as TMEM16A) is an important chloride channel involved in many physiological processes. However, its role in osteoclasts remains unresolved. Here, we identify the existence of Anoctamin 1 in osteoclasts and show that its expression positively correlates with osteoclast activity. Osteoclast-specific Anoctamin 1 knockout mice exhibit increased bone mass and decreased bone resorption. Mechanistically, Anoctamin 1 deletion increases intracellular Cl- concentration, decreases H+ secretion and reduces bone resorption. Notably, Anoctamin 1 physically interacts with RANK and this interaction is dependent upon Anoctamin 1 channel activity, jointly promoting RANKL-induced downstream signaling pathways. Anoctamin 1 protein levels are substantially increased in osteoporosis patients and this closely correlates with osteoclast activity. Finally, Anoctamin 1 deletion significantly alleviates ovariectomy induced osteoporosis. These results collectively establish Anoctamin 1 as an essential regulator in osteoclast function and suggest a potential therapeutic target for osteoporosis.

Quantitative proteomic analysis of urinary exosomes from patients with primary aldosteronism that underwent fludrocortisone suppression test

Project description:The sodium chloride cotransporters (NCC) and the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) have been reported to be the main effectors of aldosterone in Na+ and Cl- reabsorption in the distal nephron and dietary K+ downregulates NCC. The Cl-/HCO3- exchanger pendrin has been revealed as a key role in maintaining extracellular fluid and electrolyte homeostasis by regulating Cl- reabsorption in the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron working in tandem with ENaC and perhaps NCC. Pendrin-mediated Cl-/HCO3- exchange is stimulated in models of metabolic alkalosis (e.g. aldosterone administration or dietary NaHCO3 intake), and plasma K+ level is thought to negatively influence pendrin. In this study we used high-throughput proteomics and bioinformatics approaches to analyze urinary exosome contents isolated from patients undergoing fludrocortisone suppression test (FST, as a means of confirming or excluding primary aldosteronism [PA]) to examine the actions of administration of aldosterone analogs, NaCl and KCl orally on transmembrane proteins existing in urinary exosomes.

The single-cell RNA sequencing for α-gustducin-positive taste cells

Project description:Taste buds are complex sensory organs that are embedded in the epithelium of fungiform papillae (FP) and circumvallate papillae (CV). The sweet, bitter, and umami taste are sensed by type II taste cells that expressed taste receptors (Tas1rs and Tas2rs) which coupled with taste G-protein α-gustducin. Recent studies revealed that the taste response profiles of α-gustducin-expressing cells are different between FP and CV. We applied the high-throughput single-cell RNA-sequencing combined with fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to profile the transcriptome of the α-gustducin-expressing taste cells in both fungiform and circumvallatae papillae with transgenic mice expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP).

Expression data from macaque taste buds and lingual epithelium

Project description:Efforts to unravel the mechanisms underlying taste sensation (gustation) have largely focused on rodents. The first comprehensive database of gene expression in primate (Macaca fascicularis) taste buds is presented. This database provides a foundation for further studies in diverse aspects of taste biology. A taste bud gene expression database was generated using laser capture microdissection (LCM) of tissue freeze medium OTC embedded macaque tongue tissue blocks. We collected fungiform (FG) taste buds at the front of the tongue, circumvallate (CV) taste buds at the back of the tongue, as well as non-gustatory lingual epithelium (LE). Gene expression was also analyzed in the top and bottom portions of CV taste buds collected using LCM. Samples were collected from 10 animals - 7 female, 3 male.

High Sox2 expression predicts taste lineage competency of lingual progenitors in vitro

Project description:Taste buds on the tongue are collections of taste receptor cells (TRCs) that detect sweet, sour, salty, umami and bitter stimuli. Like non-taste lingual epithelium, TRCs are renewed from basal keratinocytes, many of which express the transcription factor SOX2. Genetic lineage tracing has shown SOX2+ lingual progenitors give rise to both taste and non-taste lingual epithelium in the posterior circumvallate taste papilla (CVP) of mice. However, SOX2 is variably expressed among CVP cells suggesting that their progenitor potential may vary. Using transcriptome analysis and organoid technology, we show highly expressing SOX2+ cells are taste-competent progenitors that give rise to organoids comprising both TRCs and lingual epithelium, while organoids derived from low-expressing SOX2+ progenitors are composed entirely of non-taste cells. Hedgehog and WNT/ß-catenin are required for taste homeostasis in adult mice, but only WNT/ß-catenin promotes TRC differentiation in vitro and does so only in organoids derived from higher SOX2+ taste lineage-competent progenitors.

Alternative splicing of the TRPV1 gene underlies infrared sensation in vampire bats

Project description:Vampire bats and snakes have taken thermosensation to the extreme by developing specialized systems for detecting infrared radiation. As such, these creatures provide a window into the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying evolutionary tuning of thermoreceptors in a species or cell type specific manner. In each case, robust thermal sensitivity likely reflects specialized anatomical features of infrared sensing pit organs, as well as intrinsic heat sensitivity of trigeminal nerve fibers that innervate these structures. Here we show that vampire bats use a molecular strategy involving alternative splicing of the TRPV1 gene to generate a channel specifically within trigeminal ganglia that has a reduced thermal activation threshold. Selective expression of splicing factors in trigeminal, but not dorsal root ganglia, together with unique organization of the vampire bat TRPV1 gene underlies this mechanism of sensory adaptation. Comparative genomic analysis of the TRPV1 locus supports phylogenetic relationships within the proposed Pegasoferae clade of mammals. Gene expression measurements implicate a TRPV1 splice isoform as the heat-sensitive channel in vampire bats

Root transcriptome comparison between grapevines Cabernet Sauvignon, 140 Ruggeri and K51-40 (+/- salt stress)

Project description:Salt tolerance in grapevine is associated with the exclusion of chloride ions (Cl–) from the shoot. The rate-limiting step for this process has been identified as the passage of Cl– between the root symplast and the xylem apoplast through membrane integral proteins. To identify candidate genes for these proteins we used a custom microarray to compare the root transcriptomes of three grapevine varieties (Vitis spp.) that differ in their capacity to exclude Cl– from shoots. When challenged with 50 mM Cl– there were transcriptional responses that differed across the rootstocks 140 Ruggeri (a good Cl– excluder) and K51-40 (a poor Cl– excluder), and Cabernet Sauvignon (an intermediate Cl– excluder and Vitis vinifera control). The magnitude of these salt-induced changes correlated with the amount of Cl– accumulated in shoots. Abiotic-stress responsive transcripts (e.g. heat shock proteins) were induced in 140 Ruggeri. Respiratory transcripts were repressed in Cabernet Sauvignon. Expression of hypersensitive response and ROS scavenging transcripts were altered in the sensitive K51-40. Despite these differences, no obvious candidate Cl– transporters were identified from the salt treatment. In contrast, under control conditions where differences in shoot Cl– exclusion between rootstocks were still significant, we identified a number of genes encoding putative ion channels including VvSLAH3, VvALMT1, and possible regulators of these proteins such as VvSnRK2.6 and calcium dependent protein kinases (CDPK) as being differentially expressed between rootstocks. Members of the low affinity nitrate transporter (NRT1), and chloride channel (CLC) families were also identified. We propose these as useful candidates for further study within breeding programs aimed at improving plant salt tolerance in grapevine and other crops.

Claudin-7 knockout by gene targeting

Project description:To investigate the claudin-7 function in vivo, we generated a claudin-7 knockout mouse model by gene targeting through homologous recombination. In this study, we report that Cln7-/- pups show Na+, Cl-, and K+ wasting and chronic dehydration phenotypes. The dramatic increase of aldosterone synthase mRNA level suggests that these mice suffer from mishandling of NaCl and fluid in the distal nephrons. Deletion of claudin-7 invokes several compensatory changes, such as increased renin, serum-glucocorticoid-induced kinase 1 (SGK1), epithelial Na+ channel (ENaCα), Na+-Cl- cotransporter (NCC), as well as aquaporin (AQP) 2 mRNA levels, demonstrating the cross talks between paracellular and transcellular ion transport pathways.
