Stretch-activated TRPV2 channels: Role in mediating cardiopathies
چکیده انگلیسی
Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 2, TRPV2, is a calcium-permeable cation channel belonging to the TRPV channel family. Although this channel has been first characterized as a noxious heat sensor, its mechanosensor property recently gained importance in various physiological functions. TRPV2 has been described as a stretch-mediated channel and a regulator of calcium homeostasis in several cell types and has been shown to be involved in the stretch-dependent responses in cardiomyocytes. Hence, several studies in the last years support the idea that TRPV2 play a key role in the function and structure of the heart, being involved in the cardiac compensatory mechanisms in response to pathologic or exercise-induced stress. We present here an overview of the current literature and concepts of TRPV2 channels involvement (i) in the mechanical coupling mechanisms in heart and (ii) in the mechanisms that lead to cardiomyopathies. All these studies lead us to think that TRPV2 may also be an important cardiac drug target based on its major physiological roles in heart.
