Project description:Progenitor cell death and dermal papilla relocation during the regression phase of the hair growth cycle are essential for stem cell activation and follicle regeneration. This drastic follicle remodeling is coordinated by dermal sheath (DS) smooth muscle contraction, but how DS-generated forces are regulated is unknown. Here, we identify endothelin signaling - a potent vasoconstriction-regulating pathway - as the key activating mechanism of DS contraction. Pharmacological blocking or genetic ablation of both endothelin receptors, ETA and ETB, impedes DS contraction and halts follicle regression. Progenitors at the epithelial strand bottleneck are the main source of endothelin ligand ET-1, which is required for follicle regression. ET signaling in DS cells and downstream contraction is dynamically regulated by cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels via cell membrane and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium channels. Together, these findings illuminate an epithelial-mesenchymal-interaction paradigm in which progenitors - before undergoing programmed cell death - control the contraction of the surrounding sheath smooth muscle to orchestrate homeostatic tissue regression and follicle reorganization.

Project description:Ion channels play critical roles in the physiology and function of the nervous system and contractile tissue; however, their role in non-contractile tissue and embryonic development has yet to be understood. Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) and complete tracheal rings (CTR) are disorders affecting the muscle and cartilage of the trachea and bronchi, whose etiology remains poorly understood. We demonstrated that trachealis muscle organization and polarity are disrupted after epithelial ablation of Wls, a cargo receptor critical for the Wnt signaling pathway, in developing trachea. The phenotype resembles the anomalous trachealis muscle observed after deletion of ion channel encoding genes in developing mouse trachea. We sought to investigate whether and how the deletion ofWlsaffects ion channels during tracheal development. We hypothesize that Wnt signaling influences the expression of ion channels to promote trachealis muscle cell assembly and patterning. Deleting Wls in developing trachea causes differential regulation of genes mediating actin binding, cytoskeleton organization, and potassium ion channel activity. Wnt signaling regulated expression of Kcnj13, Kcnd3, Kcnj8, and Abcc9 as demonstrated by in vitro studies and in vivo analysis in Wnt5a and b-catenin deficient tracheas. Pharmacological inhibition of potassium ion channels and Wnt signaling impaired contractility of developing trachealis smooth muscle and formation of cartilaginous mesenchymal condensation. Thus, in mice, epithelial-induced Wnt/b-catenin signaling mediates trachealis muscle and cartilage development via modulation of ion channel expression, promoting trachealis muscle architecture, contractility, and cartilaginous extracellular matrix. In turn, ion channel activity may influence tracheal morphogenesis underlying TBM and CTR.

Project description:Intracellular calcium signaling is critical for initiating and sustaining diverse cellular functions including transcription, synaptic signaling, muscle contraction, apoptosis and fertilization. Trans-membrane 203 (TMEM203) was identified here in cDNA overexpression screens for proteins capable of modulating intracellular calcium levels using activation of a calcium/calcineurin regulated transcription factor as an indicator. Overexpression of TMEM203 resulted in a reduction of Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) calcium stores and elevation in basal cytoplasmic calcium levels. TMEM203 protein was localized to the ER and found associated with a number of ER proteins which regulate ER calcium entry and efflux. Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEFs) derived from Tmem203 deficient mice had reduced ER calcium stores and altered calcium homeostasis. Tmem203 deficient mice were viable though male knockout mice were infertile and exhibited a severe block in spermiogenesis and spermiation. Expression profiling studies showed significant alternations in expression of calcium channels and pumps in testes and concurrently Tmem203 deficient spermatocytes demonstrated significantly altered calcium handling. Thus Tmem203 is an evolutionarily conserved regulator of cellular calcium homeostasis, is required for spermatogenesis and provides a causal link between intracellular calcium regulation and spermiogenesis. Testes were harvested from control and Tmem203 null mice at 24 weeks of age. 4 wild type testes and 5 null mice testes were probed using Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 platform.

Project description:One of the most recognizable physiological phenomena is the adrenergic-induced fight-or-flight increase in heart rate and cardiac contraction. For the β-adenergic agonist-induced enhancement of calcium influx and transients, and contractility in the heart, we identify the dual requirement of a subpopulation of Rad-bound calcium channels under basal conditions and PKA phosphorylation of Rad. In mice expressing a non-phosphorylatable Rad mutant, basal cardiac contractility is reduced and adrenergic-augmentation of the calcium current and contractility are disabled. Expression of mutant calcium channel β-subunits that cannot bind the mutant Rad restored contractility, revealing a highly specific therapeutic approach to mimic the contractility imparted by adrenergic agonists. Our findings place Rad and its modulation of calcium channels at the nexus of adrenergic modulation of cardiac responses.

Project description:Voltage gated calcium channels play a central role in regulating the electrical and biochemical properties of neurons and muscle cells. Cells coordinate the expression of voltage gated calcium channels with the expression of other proteins that regulate membrane potential and calcium homeostasis. We report that the C-terminus of CaV 1.2, an L-type calcium channel (LTC) contains a C-terminal fragment that translocates to the nucleus and regulates transcription. This calcium channel associated transcription factor (CCAT) associates with transcriptional co-regulators such as p54nrb/NonO and binds to endogenous promoters. CCAT regulates the expression of gap junctions, sodium calcium exchangers, NMDA receptors, potassium channels and other proteins that regulate neuronal signaling. Electrical activity and developmental processes regulate the nuclear localization of CCAT, suggesting that the CCAT integrates information about the number of LTCs with information about the developmental history and electrical activity of a cell. These findings provide the first evidence that voltage gated calcium channels can directly activate transcription and suggest a novel mechanism linking voltage gated channels to the function and differentiation of excitable cells.

Project description:Skeletal muscle excitation-contraction (EC) coupling is independent of calcium influx. In fact alternative splicing of the voltage-gated calcium channel CaV1.1 actively suppresses calcium currents in mature muscle. Why this might be necessary is not known. However, splicing defects causing aberrant expression of the calcium-conducting embryonic CaV1.1e splice variant correlate with muscle weakness in myotonic dystrophy. Here we deleted CaV1.1 exon 29 in mice. The continued expression of CaV1.1e resulted in increased calcium influx during EC coupling and spontaneous calcium sparks. While overall motor performance was normal, muscle force was reduced, endurance enhanced, and the fiber type composition shifted toward slower fibers. In contrast, oxidative enzyme activity and the mitochondrial content declined. Together with the dysregulation of key regulators of the slow program these findings indicate that limiting calcium influx during skeletal muscle EC coupling is important for the calcium signalâs secondary function in the activity-dependent regulation of fiber type composition. Differential gene expression between soleus and EDL muscle fibres from wildtype and Cav1.1 delta E29 mice.

Project description:We performed the first quantitative proteomics analysis of differences between striated (fast) and catch (slow) adductor muscle in Yesso scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis), with the goal to uncover muscle specific genes and proteins, as well as enzymes of metabolic pathways in fast and slow adductor muscle of scallops. The present findings highlight the functional roles of muscle contractile proteins, calcium signaling pathways, membrane and extracellular matrix proteins, and glycogen metabolism involved in the different contractile and metabolic properties between fast and slow muscles. The present findings will help better understand the molecular basis underlying muscle contraction and its physiological regulation in invertebrates.

Project description:The synovium secretes synovial fluid but is also richly innervated with nociceptors and acts as a gateway between avascular joint tissues and the circulatory system. Resident fibroblast-like synoviocytes’ (FLS) calcium-activated potassium channels (KCa) change in activity in arthritis models and this correlates with FLS activation. To deepen our understanding of the synovium in the context of synovial joint health and disease, the electrophysiological profile of FLS cells needs to be characterised, along with the ion channels that are present. Ion channels are an essential component of any cell membrane that controls ion movement in and out of the cell and play an important role in a multitude of cell regulating processes, typically by modulating the membrane potential To this end, we chose to perform an UNBIASED screen to identify/screen the ion channels that are transcribed in these cells and determine if this "channelome" changes with cytokine exposure. PCR/Westerns naturally bias toward the known proteins and transcripts and so we used Next Generation sequencing to scan the entire transcriptome. Objective: To determine the mechanism of this activation in an in vitro model of inflammatory arthritis; 72hr treatment with the cytokines TNFa and IL1b.

Project description:The cellular and molecular actions of general anaesthetics to induce anaesthesia state and also cellular signalling changes for subsequent potential “long term” effects remain largely elusive although great efforts have been made to study these in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo settings. General anaesthetics were reported to act on voltage-gated ion channels and ligand-gated ion channels. Here we used single-cell RNA-sequencing complemented with whole-cell patch clamp and calcium transient techniques to examine the gene transcriptome and ion channels profiling of sevoflurane and propofol, both commonly used clinically, on human embryonic primary prefrontal cortex (PFC) mixed cell cultures. Both propofol and sevoflurane at clinically relevant dose/concentration promoted “microgliosis” but only sevoflurane changed microglia cell similarity. Propofol and sevoflurane each extensively but transiently altered transcriptome profiling 2 hours after anaesthetics exposure across microglia, excitatory neurons, interneurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. Within the excitatory neurons and microglia, exemplary ion-gated and ligand-gated ion channels related genes response to either anaesthetic included SCN1A, CACNAB2, KCNA1, GABRR2 and GRINA1 amongst many others. Utilising scRNA-seq as a robust and high-throughput tool, our work may provide a comprehensive blueprint for future mechanistic studies of general anaesthetics in clinically relevant settings.
