PG - 138 LID - 10.3389/fnins.2017.00138 [doi] LID - 138 AB - Transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6) channels are permeable to Na(+) and Ca(2+) and are widely expressed in the brain. In this study, the role of TRPC6 was investigated following ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). We found that TRPC6 expression was increased in wild-type (WT) mice cortical neurons following I/R and in primary neurons with OGD, and that deletion of TRPC6 reduced the I/R-induced brain infarct in mice and the OGD- /neurotoxin-induced neuronal death. Using live-cell imaging to examine intracellular Ca(2+) levels ([Ca(2+)] (i) ), we found that OGD induced a significant higher increase in glutamate-evoked Ca(2+) influx compared to untreated control and such an increase was reduced by TRPC6 deletion. Enhancement of TRPC6 expression using AdCMV-TRPC6-GFP infection in WT neurons increased [Ca(2+)] (i) in response to glutamate application compared to AdCMV-GFP control. Inhibition of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid receptor (NMDAR) with MK801 decreased TRPC6-dependent increase of [Ca(2+)] (i) in TRPC6 infected cells, indicating that such a Ca(2+) influx was NMDAR dependent. Furthermore, TRPC6-dependent Ca(2+) influx was blunted by blockade of Na(+) entry in TRPC6 infected cells. Finally, OGD-enhanced Ca(2+) influx was reduced, but not completely blocked, in the presence of voltage-dependent Na(+) channel blocker tetrodotoxin (TTX) and dl-alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) blocker CNQX. Altogether, we concluded that I/R-induced brain damage was, in part, due to upregulation of TRPC6 in cortical neurons. We postulate that overexpression of TRPC6 following I/R may induce neuronal death partially through TRPC6-dependent Na(+) entry which activated NMDAR, thus leading to a damaging Ca(2+) overload. These findings may provide a potential target for future intervention in stroke-induced brain damage.
