Neurite outgrowth is key to the formation of functional circuits during neuronal development. Neurotrophins, including nerve growth factor (NGF), increase neurite outgrowth in part by altering the function and expression of Ca2+-permeable cation channels. Here we report that transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) is an intracellular Ca2+-permeable TRPV channel upregulated by NGF via the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway to augment neurite outgrowth. TRPV2 colocalized with Rab7, a late endosome protein, in addition to TrkA and activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in neurites, indicating that the channel is closely associated with signaling endosomes. In line with these results, we showed that TRPV2 acts as an ERK substrate and identified the motifs necessary for phosphorylation of TRPV2 by ERK. Furthermore, neurite length, TRPV2 expression, and TRPV2-mediated Ca2+signals were reduced by mutagenesis of these key ERK phosphorylation sites. Based on these findings, we identified a previously uncharacterized mechanism by which ERK controls TRPV2-mediated Ca2+signals in developing neurons and further establish TRPV2 as a critical intracellular ion channel in neuronal function.

ABSTRACTThe vomeronasal organ (VNO) is a chemosensory organ specialized in the detection of pheromones and consequently the regulation of behavioural responses mostly related to reproduction. VNO shows a broad variation on its organization, functionality and gene expression in vertebrates, and although the species analyzed to date have shown very specific features, its expression patterns have only been well-characterized in mice. Despite rabbits represent a model of chemocommunication, unfortunately no genomic studies have been performed on VNO of this species to date. The capacity of VNO to detect a great variety of different stimuli suggests a large number of genes with complex organization to support this function. Here we provide the first comprehensive gene expression analysis of the rabbit VNO through RNA-seq across different sexual maturation stages. We characterized the VNO transcriptome, updating the number of the two main vomeronasal receptor (VR) families, 129 V1R and 70 V2R. Among others, the expression of transient receptor potential channel 2 (TRPC2), a crucial cation channel generating electrical responses to sensory stimulation in vomeronasal neurons, along with the specific expression of some fomyl-peptide receptors and H2-Mv genes, both known to have specific roles in the VNO, revealed a the particular gene expression repertoire of this organ, but also its singularity in rabbits. Moreover, juvenile and adult VNO transcriptome showed consistent differences, which may indicate that these receptors are tuned to fulfill specific functions depending on maturation age. We also identified VNO-specific genes, including most VR and TRPC2, thus confirming their functional association with the VNO. Overall, these results represent the genomic baseline for future investigations which seek to understand the genetic basis of behavioural responses canalized through the VNO.HIGHLIGHTSFirst description of the rabbit vomeronasal organ (VNO) transcriptomeVNO contains a unique gene repertoire depending on the speciesHigh fluctuation of the VNO gene expression reveals changes dependent on age and specific functionsMost vomeronasal-receptors (VR) and transient receptor potential channel 2 (TRPC2) genes are VNO-specificReproduction-related genes shows a wide expression pattern

We explored the involvement of Oxytocin receptor (Oxtr)/ Transient-receptor-potential-vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) genes and Oxytocin (Oxt) on the adaptation of skeletal muscle to cold stress challenge in mice. Oxtr expression in hypothalamic paraventricular (PVN), supraoptic nuclei (SON), and hippocampus (HIPP) were evaluated by immunohistochemistry in parallel with the measurement of circulating Oxt. The Oxtr and TRPV1 gene expression in Soleus (SOL) and Tibialis Anterior (TA) muscles were investigated by RT-PCR. Histological studies of the cardiac muscle after cold stress were also performed. Male mice (n=15) were divided into controls maintained at room temperature (RT=24°C), exposed to cold stress (CS) at T=4°C for 6 hours (6h), and 5 days (5d). Immunohistochemical studies showed that Oxtr protein expression increased by 2-fold (p=0.01) in PVN and by 1.5-fold (p=0.0001) in HIPP after 6h and 5d CS, but decreased by 2-fold (p=0.026) in SON at 5d. Both Oxtr and TRPV1 gene expression increased after 6h and 5d CS in SOL and TA muscles. Oxtr vs TRPV1 gene expression in SOL and TA muscles evaluated by regression analysis was linearly correlated following CS at 6h and 5d but not at control temperature of 24+1°C, supporting the hypothesis of coupling between these genes. The circulating levels of Oxt are unaffected after 6h CS but decreased by 0.2-fold (p=0.0141) after 5d CS. This is the first report that Oxtr and TRPV1 expression are upregulated in response to cold acclimation in skeletal muscle. The up-regulation of Oxtr in PVN and HIPP balances the decrease of circulating Oxt.

Calbindin-D28k (CBD-28k) is a calcium binding protein located in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and plays an important role in active calcium transport in the kidney. Loop and thiazide diuretics affect renal Ca and Mg handling: both cause Mg wasting, but have opposite effects on Ca excretion as loop diuretics increase, but thiazides decrease, Ca excretion. To understand the role of CBD-28k in renal Ca and Mg handling in response to diuretics treatment, we investigated renal Ca and Mg excretion and gene expression of DCT Ca and Mg transport molecules in wild-type (WT) and CBD-28k knockout (KO) mice. Mice were treated with chlorothiazide (CTZ; 50 mg·kg−1·day−1) or furosemide (FSM; 30 mg·kg−1·day−1) for 3 days. To avoid volume depletion, salt was supplemented in the drinking water. Urine Ca excretion was reduced in WT, but not in KO mice, by CTZ. FSM induced similar hypercalciuria in both groups. DCT Ca transport molecules, including transient receptor potential vanilloid 5 (TRPV5), TRPV6, and CBD-9k, were upregulated by CTZ and FSM in WT, but not in KO mice. Urine Mg excretion was increased and transient receptor potential subfamily M, member 6 (TRPM6) was upregulated by both CTZ and FSM in WT and KO mice. In conclusion, CBD-28k plays an important role in gene expression of DCT Ca, but not Mg, transport molecules, which may be related to its being a Ca, but not a Mg, intracellular sensor. The lack of upregulation of DCT Ca transport molecules by thiazides in the KO mice indicates that the DCT Ca transport system is critical for Ca conservation by thiazides.
