Myocardial TRPC6-mediated Zn 2+ influx induces beneficial positive inotropy through β-adrenoceptors
Baroreflex control of cardiac contraction (positive inotropy) through sympathetic nerve activation is important for cardiocirculatory homeostasis. Transient receptor potential canonical subfamily (TRPC) channels are responsible for α -adrenoceptor (α AR)-stimulated cation entry and their upregulatio...

Summary: | Baroreflex control of cardiac contraction (positive inotropy) through sympathetic nerve activation is important for cardiocirculatory homeostasis. Transient receptor potential canonical subfamily (TRPC) channels are responsible for α
-adrenoceptor (α
AR)-stimulated cation entry and their upregulation is associated with pathological cardiac remodeling. Whether TRPC channels participate in physiological pump functions remains unclear. We demonstrate that TRPC6-specific Zn
influx potentiates β-adrenoceptor (βAR)-stimulated positive inotropy in rodent cardiomyocytes. Deletion of trpc6 impairs sympathetic nerve-activated positive inotropy but not chronotropy in mice. TRPC6-mediated Zn
influx boosts α
AR-stimulated βAR/G
-dependent signaling in rat cardiomyocytes by inhibiting β-arrestin-mediated βAR internalization. Replacing two TRPC6-specific amino acids in the pore region with TRPC3 residues diminishes the α
AR-stimulated Zn
influx and positive inotropic response. Pharmacological enhancement of TRPC6-mediated Zn
influx prevents chronic heart failure progression in mice. Our data demonstrate that TRPC6-mediated Zn
influx with α
AR stimulation enhances baroreflex-induced positive inotropy, which may be a new therapeutic strategy for chronic heart failure. |
