Activation of the non-selective cation channel TRPV4 by mechanical and osmotic stimuli requires the involvement of phospholipase A2 and the subsequent production of the arachidonic acid metabolites, epoxieicosatrienoic acids (EET). Previous studies have shown that inositol trisphosphate (IP3) sensitizes TRPV4 to mechanical, osmotic, and direct EET stimulation. We now search for the IP3 receptor-binding site on TRPV4 and its relevance to IP3-mediated sensitization. Three putative sites involved in protein-protein interactions were evaluated: a proline-rich domain (PRD), a calmodulin (CaM)-binding site, and the last four amino acids (DAPL) that show a PDZ-binding motif-like. TRPV4-DeltaCaM-(Delta812-831) channels preserved activation by hypotonicity, 4alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate, and EET but lost their physical interaction with IP3 receptor 3 and IP3-mediated sensitization. Deletion of a PDZ-binding motif-like (TRPV4-DeltaDAPL) did not affect channel activity or IP3-mediated sensitization, whereas TRPV4-DeltaPRD-(Delta132-144) resulted in loss of channel function despite correct trafficking. We conclude that IP3-mediated sensitization requires IP3 receptor binding to a TRPV4 C-terminal domain that overlaps with a previously described calmodulin-binding site.

Ageing influences detrusor contractions to prostaglandin, angiotensin, histamine and 5-HT (serotonin), independent to the Rho kinase and extracellular calcium pathways.

Ageing is associated with deteriorating urinary bladder function and an increasing prevalence of disorders such as underactive bladder. There are suggestions that G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) second messenger pathways are altered during ageing, rather than the receptor proteins themselves. The aim of this study was to identify age-related variations in GPCR activation systems in urinary bladder smooth muscle (detrusor).

Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) preconditioning of "Quchi" (LI11) and "Xuehai" (SP10) on mast cell (MC) degranulation, and expressions of inositol triphosphate(IP3), reactive oxygen species (ROS), transient receptor potential (TRP) M2, calmodulin (CaM) in rats with urticaria, so as to reveal its molecular mechanism under-lying improving urticaria.
Methods: Thirty-two male SD rats were randomly divided into blank control, model, preconditioning of EA (Pre-EA) and medication groups (=8 rats/group). The urticaria model was established by intradermal injection of dilute allogeneic antioalbumin serum at the spots of the bilateral symmetry of the spine on the back, and followed by tail venous injection of mixture solution of egg albumin diluent, plus 0.
Article Synopsis
- - Recent findings show that a specific genetic variant (rs28493229) in the ITPKC gene increases susceptibility to Kawasaki syndrome (KS) and related coronary artery issues by affecting calcium release in cells due to lower ITPKC protein levels.
- - The study suggests that environmental factors, particularly thimerosal (a mercury-based preservative), may further exacerbate this issue by increasing calcium release and causing oxidative stress, impacting immune responses and blood vessel function.
- - The authors propose that the combination of the genetic variant and exposure to thimerosal may explain why only some children develop KS despite widespread vaccine use, drawing parallels to historical cases of mercury exposure where only a small percentage developed related diseases.

Ca(2+)-binding proteins (CaBPs) are expressed in a highly specific manner across many different cell types, yet the physiological basis underlying their selective distribution patterns remains unclear. We used confocal line-scan microscopy together with photo-release of IP(3) in Xenopus oocytes to investigate the actions of mobile cytosolic CaBPs on the spatiotemporal properties of IP(3)-evoked Ca(2+) signals. Parvalbumin (PV), a CaBP with slow Ca(2+)-binding kinetics, shortened the duration of IP(3)-evoked Ca(2+) signals and 'balkanized' global responses into discrete localized events (puffs).
