Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) was used to study left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and its dynamic change after the interventions with Telmisartan and Amlodipine. The results showed that the expression of TRPC1, CaN and NFATC3 increased gradually with the pathogenesis and progression of LVH. Telmisartan reduced blood pressure and LVH, and down-regulated the expression of TRPC1, CaN and NFATC3 in left ventricle of SHR. Amlodipine reduced the blood pressure in SHR but had no impact on the hypertrophy and expression of above factors. Our data suggest that the pathogenesis and progression of LVH in SHR are related to upregulation of TRPC1, CaN and NFATC3 signaling pathway.

The lamina cribrosa (LC) in glaucoma is with augmented production of extracellular matrix proteins (ECM) and connective tissue fibrosis. Fundamental pathological mechanisms for this fibrosis comprise fibrotic growth factors and oxidative stress. Transient receptor potential canonical channels (TRPC) channels play a key role in ECM fibrosis.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a syndrome caused by restricted blood flow in the pulmonary circulation, which results in a poor patient prognosis. The serotonin (5-HT), TRPC1 (Transient receptor potencial channel 1), TRPC6 (Transient receptor potencial channel 6), calcineurin A, and NFATc3 (an isoform of nuclear factor of activated T-cells family) are involved in cell proliferation and hypertrophy and the crosstalk between these molecules may play an essential role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension. We hypothesized that 5-HT promotes PAH by affecting TRPC channels.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is caused by an imbalance of pulmonary vasoconstriction and vasodilation. Pulmonary arteriolar remodeling is a primary pathological change and proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMC) is an important pathological basis for pulmonary arteriolar remodeling. Vasoactive substances, such as 5-HT, may play a role in proliferation of PASMC via unknown mechanisms.

To investigate the inhibitory effect of Huangqi Danshen decoction (HDD) on isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial remodeling and explore its effect on STIM1, TRPC1, CaN and NFATc3 expressions. ISO (2.5 mg•kg⁻¹•d⁻¹×14 d) was given by subcutaneous injection to establish myocardial remodeling models in rats, and then were randomly divided into control group, ISO model group, HDD5 group (HDD 5 g•kg⁻¹•d⁻¹+ISO), and HDD10 group (HDD 10 g•kg⁻¹•d⁻¹+ISO).
