Functional TRPM7 channels accumulate at the plasma membrane in response to fluid flow

Oancea, Elena, Wolfe, Joshua T., Clapham, David E.·2006·Circulation Research

Abstract

Many cells are constantly exposed to fluid mechanical forces generated by flowing blood, and wall shear stresses modulate aspects of their structure and function. However, the mechanisms for mechanotransduction of flow are not well understood. Here we report that TRPM7, which is both an ion channel and a functional kinase, is translocated within cells in response to laminar flow. After exposure of cells to physiological values of laminar fluid flow, the number of TRPM7 molecules localized at or near the plasma membrane increased up to 2-fold, in less than 100 seconds. This increase in membrane-localized GFP-TRPM7, as seen by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, closely correlated with increases in TRPM7 current. Both endogenous and heterologously expressed TRPM7 was found in tubulovesicular structures that were translocated to the region of the plasma membrane on induction of shear stress. In vascular smooth muscle cells, but not in several types of endothelial cells, fluid flow increased endogenous native TRPM7 current amplitude. We hypothesize that TRPM7 plays a role in pathological response to vessel wall injury.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
