Regulation of the novel Mg2+ transporter transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) cation channel by bradykinin in vascular smooth muscle cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) channels have been identified in the vasculature. However, their regulation and function remain unclear. METHODS: Here, we tested the hypothesis that bradykinin and its second messenger cAMP upregulate TRPM7, which stimulates activation of annexin-1 (TRPM7 substrate) and increases transmembrane Mg2+ transport and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration. Human and rat VSMCs were studied. TRPM7 phosphorylation was assessed by immunoprecipitation:immunoblotting using antiphospho-serine/threonine and anti-TRPM7 antibodies. [Mg2+]i was measured by mag-fura-2. TRPM7 was downregulated by small interfering RNA and 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate. Annexin-1 activity was assessed by cytosol-to-membrane translocation. Cell migration and invasion, functional responses to bradykinin, were assessed in transwell chambers. RESULTS: Bradykinin increased expression of TRPM7 and annexin-1. TRPM7 was rapidly (5 min) phosphorylated on serine/threonine but not on tyrosine residues by bradykinin. [Mg2+]i was increased in bradykinin-stimulated cells (0.53 versus 0.68 mmol/l, basal versus bradykinin, P < 0.01). Annexin-1 activation was increased by bradykinin and inhibited by 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate. Although Hoe 140 (B2 receptor antagonist), U-73122 (phospholipase C inhibitor), 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (c-Src inhibitor) and chelerythrine (protein kinase C inhibitor) blocked bradykinin actions, dibutyryl-c-AMP was without effect. In small interfering RNA-transfected and in 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate-treated cells, bradykinin-induced Mg2+ influx and VSMC migration were reduced. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate that bradykinin regulates TRPM7 and its downstream target annexin-1 through phospholipase C-dependent, protein kinase C-dependent and c-Src-dependent and cAMP-independent pathways; effects are mediated through bradykinin type 2 receptor; and bradykinin regulates VSMC [Mg2+]i and migration through TRPM7. These data identify TRPM7/annexin-1/Mg2+ as a novel pathway in bradykinin signaling.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
