Pregnenolone Sulphate- and Cholesterol-Regulated TRPM3 Channels Coupled to Vascular Smooth Muscle Secretion and Contraction

Abstract: The channels are thought to have structural similarity to ␣-subunits of voltage-gated K ϩ channels, with intracellular amino and carboxy termini and four proteins required for coordination of a single ion pore. As with K ϩ channels, heteromultimerization confers greater diversity. However, unlike voltage-gated K ϩ channels, membrane depolarization is not the primary trigger for channel activity. Instead, chemical factors are considered to be primary stimuli. Details of the chemical sensing properties are becom… Show more

“…Based on current, limited, knowledge of TRPM3 functions, it would be anticipated that consequences of blocking TRPM3 would be reduced insulin secretion from the pancreas, increased interleukin secretion from vascular smooth muscle cells, and increased hyaluronan secretion from synovial fibroblasts of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (Wagner et al, 2008;Ciurtin et al, 2010;Naylor et al, 2010). All of these effects would presumably be unwanted, consistent with the emerging concept of TRPM3 as a beneficial ion channel that is stimulated by "fountain of youth" steroids.…”

“…The strongest known activator of TRPM3 channels is pregnenolone sulfate (Wagner et al, 2008;Majeed et al, 2010). However, the concentrations of pregnenolone sulfate required for activation are supraphysiological (Wagner et al, 2008;Naylor et al, 2010). Other strong activators of TRPM3 are not known but they may not be required because constitutive cholesterol-regulated activity is possible .…”
