The inhibitory effect of the flavonoid naringenin on plant and human Two-Pore Channels (TPCs) was assessed by means of electrophysiological measurements. By acting on human TPC2, naringenin, was able to dampen intracellular calcium responses to VEGF in cultured human endothelial cells and to impair angiogenic activity in VEGF-containing matrigel plugs implanted in mice. Molecular docking predicts selective binding sites for naringenin in the TPC structure, thus suggesting a specific interaction between the flavonoid and the channel.

Lysosomal Ca signaling is emerging as a crucial regulator of endothelial Ca dynamics. Ca release from the acidic vesicles in response to extracellular stimulation is usually promoted Two Pore Channels (TPCs) and is amplified by endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-embedded inositol-1,3,4-trisphosphate (InsP) receptors and ryanodine receptors. Emerging evidence suggests that sub-cellular Ca signals in vascular endothelial cells can also be generated by the Transient Receptor Potential Mucolipin 1 channel (TRPML1) channel, which controls vesicle trafficking, autophagy and gene expression.

Past research has identified that cancer cells sustain several cancer hallmarks by impairing function of the endolysosomal system (ES). Thus, maintaining the functional integrity of endolysosomes is crucial, which heavily relies on two key protein families: soluble hydrolases and endolysosomal membrane proteins. Particularly members of the TPC (two-pore channel) and TRPML (transient receptor potential mucolipins) families have emerged as essential regulators of ES function as a potential target in cancer therapy.

Regulated exocytosis is initiated by increased Ca2+ concentrations in close spatial proximity to secretory granules, which is effectively prevented when the cell is at rest. Here we showed that exocytosis of zymogen granules in acinar cells was driven by Ca2+ directly released from acidic Ca2+ stores including secretory granules through NAADP-activated two-pore channels (TPCs). We identified OCaR1 (encoded by Tmem63a) as an organellar Ca2+ regulator protein integral to the membrane of secretory granules that controlled Ca2+ release via inhibition of TPC1 and TPC2 currents.

Background Information: Two pore channels (TPCs) are voltage-gated ion channel superfamily members that release Ca from acidic intracellular stores and are ubiquitously present in both animals and plants. Starvation initiates multicellular development in Dictyostelium discoideum. Increased intracellular calcium levels bias Dictyostelium cells towards the stalk pathway and thus we decided to analyze the role of TPC2 in development, differentiation, and autophagy.

Phagocytes promptly resolve ingested targets to replenish lysosomes and maintain their responsiveness. The resolution process requires that degradative hydrolases, solute transporters, and proteins involved in lipid traffic are delivered and made active in phagolysosomes. It also involves extensive membrane remodeling.
