Inhibition of TRPM7 Channels Reduces Degranulation and Release of Cytokines in Rat Bone Marrow-Derived Mast Cells

Abstract: Background: mast cells play an important role in airway inflammation in asthma. The transient receptor potential melastatin-like 7 (TRPM7) channel is expressed in primary human lung mast cells and plays a critical role for cell survival. This study aimed to investigate the role of TRPM7 on degranulation and release of cytokines in rat bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs). Methods: the expression levels of TRPM7 were observed by immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR between normal and asthmatic rat BMMCs. TRPM7-spec… Show more

“…That is, in situations of magnesium deficiency, calcium competes with magnesium and enters the cells. 51,52 Magnesium deficiency appears to increase the production of free radicals and the sensitivity of cells to the attack of reactive oxygen species. 53,54 Hypomagnesemia favors the infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages in the affected cells, which potentiates the activity of the enzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NADPH oxidase), increasing the production of the superoxide radical.…”

“…Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of TRPM7 significantly decreased β-hexosaminidase activity and secretion of histamine as well as the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-13 and TNF-α in the asthmatic group compared to the control group. The authors conclude that inhibition of TRPM7 reduces mast cell degranulation and cytokine release (49). However, the question remained, whether kinase and/or channel activity were responsible for the observed phenotype.…”
