Outline of Research at the Start

体温センサーTRPM2チャネルの体温下活性は、種々の細胞内因子による調節を受ける。本研究は、これまでに見出した新規TRPM2活性制御機構に注目したものであり、分子生物学的・生化学的・電気生理学的手法を用いた検討によりその分子基盤の詳細解明を目指すとともに、ミトコンドリア機能(ミトコンドリア膜電位、ATP産生能、酸素消費量)調節を始めとした代謝制御におけるTRPM2の生理的意義を明らかにする。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

Transient receptor potential melastatin type 2 (TRPM2) is a non-selective cation channel with sensitivity to warm temperature. This study has revealed one molecular mechanism regulating TRPM2 activity at body temperature mediated by cytosolic Ca2+ and TRPM2 phosphorylation by protein kinase C activity. Cytosolic Ca2+ decreases temperature threshold for TRPM2 activation in concentration-dependent manner. TRPM2 phosphorylation counteracts the effect of cytosolic Ca2+ to decrease temperature threshold for TRPM2 activation. Alanine-scan mutagenesis identified a candidate threonine residue (Thr738) and its phospho-deficient mutation (T738A) abrogated the effect of PKC on temperature threshold for TRPM2. Moreover, phospho-mimic mutation (T738D) recapitulated the effect of PKC, confirming the roles of Thr738 phosphorylation regulating temperature threshold for TRPM2. The findings in this study could propel elucidation of machinery enabling temperature-dependent activation of TRP channels.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

温度感受性TRPM2は、脳、免疫細胞、膵臓等の体温下に保たれた広範な組織に発現しており、免疫機能やインスリン分泌調節への関わりが明らかになっている。一方で、過剰なTRPM2活性は細胞死や炎症を増悪させることも数多く報告されており、生理的環境においてTRPM2体温下活性が適切に調節されることで種々生理機能に寄与していると考えられる。生理的環境で変動しうる細胞内Ca2+とPKC活性によって体温下TRPM2活性が制御されることを示した本研究成果は、TRPM2機能の関わる生理機能・病態生理の解明、さらには温度によるTRPチャネル活性化の分子基盤の解明につながることが期待される。
