ABSTRACT
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is a Ca2+-permeable channel of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily activated by diverse stimuli, including warm temperature, mechanical forces, and lipid mediators such as arachidonic acid (AA) and its metabolites. This activation is tightly regulated by protein phosphorylation carried out by various serine/threonine or tyrosine kinases. It remains poorly understood how phosphorylation differentially regulates TRPV4 activation in response to different stimuli. We investigated how TRPV4 activation by AA, an important signaling process in the dilation of coronary arterioles, is affected by protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated phosphorylation at Ser-824. Wildtype and mutant TRPV4 channels were expressed in human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs). AA-induced TRPV4 activation was blunted in the S824A mutant but was enhanced in the phosphomimetic S824E mutant, whereas the channel activation by the synthetic agonist GSK1016790A was not affected. The low level of basal phosphorylation at Ser-824 was robustly increased by the redox signaling molecule hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The H2O2-induced phosphorylation was accompanied by an enhanced channel activation by AA, and this enhanced response was largely abolished by PKA inhibition or S824A mutation. We further identified a potential structural context dependence of Ser-824 phosphorylation-mediated TRPV4 regulation involving an interplay between AA binding and the possible phosphorylation-induced rearrangements of the C-terminal helix bearing Ser-824. These results provide insight into how phosphorylation specifically regulates TRPV4 activation. Redox-mediated TRPV4 phosphorylation may contribute to pathologies associated with enhanced TRPV4 activity in endothelial and other systems.
