ABSTRACT
Thrombin activation of protease-activated receptor-1 induces Ca(2+) influx through store-operated cation channel TRPC1 in endothelial cells. We examined the role of Ca(2+) influx induced by the depletion of Ca(2+) stores in signaling TRPC1 expression in endothelial cells. Both thrombin and a protease-activated receptor-1-specific agonist peptide induced TRPC1 expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, which was coupled to an augmented store-operated Ca(2+) influx and increase in endothelial permeability. To delineate the mechanisms of thrombin-induced TRPC1 expression, we transfected in endothelial cells TRPC1-promoter-luciferase (TRPC1-Pro-Luc) construct containing multiple nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) binding sites. Co-expression of dominant negative IkappaBalpha mutant prevented the thrombin-induced increase in TRPC1 expression, indicating the key role of NF-kappaB activation in mediating the response. Using TRPC1 promoter-deletion mutant constructs, we showed that NF-kappaB binding sites located between -1623 and -871 in the TRPC1 5'-regulatory region were required for thrombin-induced TRPC1 expression. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay utilizing TRPC1 promoter-specific oligonucleotides identified that the DNA binding activities of NF-kappaB to NF-kappaB consensus sites were located in this domain. Supershift assays using NF-kappaB protein-specific antibodies demonstrated the binding of p65 homodimer to the TRPC1 promoter. Inhibition of store Ca(2+) depletion, buffering of intracellular Ca(2+), or down-regulation of protein kinase Calpha downstream of Ca(2+) influx all blocked thrombin-induced NF-kappaB activation and the resultant TRPC1 expression in endothelial cells. Thus, Ca(2+) influx via TRPC1 is a critical feed-forward pathway responsible for TRPC1 expression. The NF-kappaB-regulated TRPC1 expression may be an essential mechanism of vascular inflammation and, hence, a novel therapeutic target.
