Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is cardiac disease characterized by increased left ventricular chamber volume and decreased systolic function. DCM patient-specific human induced-pluripotent stem cells-derived cardiomyocytes (DCM-hiPSC-CMs) were generated. We found that uniaxial stretch elicited a cytosolic [Ca] rise in hiPSC-CMs. Compared to control-hiPSC-CMs, DCM-hiPSC-CMs displayed a greater magnitude of [Ca] responses to the cell stretch of 10-15% elongation in length. This stretch-induced [Ca] rise was abolished by removal of extracellular Ca and markedly attenuated by TRPV4 inhibitors HC-067047 and RN-1734. Application of nifedipine and tranilast also reduced the [Ca] response but to a lesser degree. Moreover, the augmented [Ca] was decreased by cytochalasin D treatment. Taken together, our study for the first time demonstrated an abnormal TRPV4-related mechanosensitive Ca signaling in DCM-hiPSC-CMs.

Dominant missense mutations of the calcium-permeable cation channel TRPV4 cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) type 2C and two forms of distal spinal muscular atrophy. These conditions are collectively referred to as TRPV4-related neuromuscular disease and share features of motor greater than sensory dysfunction and frequent vocal fold weakness. Pathogenic variants lead to gain of ion channel function that can be rescued by TRPV4 antagonists in cellular and animal models.

Background: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 2C (CMT2C) and scapuloperoneal spinal muscular atrophy (SPSMA) are different clinical phenotypes of TRPV4 mutation. The mutation of p.R316C has been reported to cause CMT2C and SPSMA separately.

TRPV4 encodes a polymodal calcium-permeable plasma membrane channel. Dominant pathogenic mutations in TRPV4 lead to a wide spectrum of abnormal phenotypes. This is the first report of biallelic TRPV4 mutations and we describe two compound heterozygous siblings presenting with a complex phenotype including severe neuromuscular involvement.

Scapuloperoneal spinal muscular atrophy (SPSMA) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by heterozygous mutations in the transient receptor potential cation channel (TRPV4) gene, characterized by progressive scapuloperoneal atrophy and weakness. Additional features, such as vocal cord paralysis, scoliosis and/or arthrogryposis, are likely to occur. We report the first Italian family with SPSMA, harboring the c.
