Overview of Gene Research
Trpc3, a member of the mammalian transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of ion channels, is a Ca2+-permeable non-selective cation channel [2]. It is ubiquitously expressed and controls functions in the cardiovascular system, brain, immunity, cancer, and tissue remodeling. TRPC3 can be activated by diacylglycerols (DAG), G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR), and mechanical distortion of the plasma membrane, and is involved in various signaling processes [2,3].
In stress-induced senescent fibroblasts, TRPC3 protein is down-regulated regardless of the senescence inducer. This down-regulation promotes cytosolic/mitochondrial Ca2+ oscillations, elevates mitochondrial Ca2+ load, mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate, and oxidative phosphorylation. Re-expression of TRPC3 in senescent cells diminishes mitochondrial Ca2+ load and promotes escape from OIS-induced senescence. Cellular senescence evoked by TRPC3 down-regulation in stromal cells displays a pro-inflammatory and tumour-promoting secretome that encourages cancer epithelial cell proliferation and tumour growth in vivo [1]. In Trpc3-/-mice, there is defective insulin secretion and glucose intolerance, indicating that TRPC3 is a critical regulator of insulin secretion and glucose control [4].
In conclusion, Trpc3 plays essential roles in multiple biological processes. Its down-regulation in senescent cells promotes tumour-promoting senescence, and its deficiency in mice leads to abnormal insulin secretion and glucose intolerance. These findings from model-based research, especially the use of knockout mouse models, enhance our understanding of the role of Trpc3 in cancer and diabetes, providing potential targets for therapeutic interventions.
