Myocardial TRPC6-mediated Zn Influx Induces Beneficial Positive Inotropy Through β-adrenoceptors

Abstract

Baroreflex control of cardiac contraction (positive inotropy) through sympathetic nerve activation is important for cardiocirculatory homeostasis. Transient receptor potential canonical subfamily (TRPC) channels are responsible for α-adrenoceptor (αAR)-stimulated cation entry and their upregulation is associated with pathological cardiac remodeling. Whether TRPC channels participate in physiological pump functions remains unclear. We demonstrate that TRPC6-specific Zn influx potentiates β-adrenoceptor (βAR)-stimulated positive inotropy in rodent cardiomyocytes. Deletion of trpc6 impairs sympathetic nerve-activated positive inotropy but not chronotropy in mice. TRPC6-mediated Zn influx boosts αAR-stimulated βAR/G-dependent signaling in rat cardiomyocytes by inhibiting β-arrestin-mediated βAR internalization. Replacing two TRPC6-specific amino acids in the pore region with TRPC3 residues diminishes the αAR-stimulated Zn influx and positive inotropic response. Pharmacological enhancement of TRPC6-mediated Zn influx prevents chronic heart failure progression in mice. Our data demonstrate that TRPC6-mediated Zn influx with αAR stimulation enhances baroreflex-induced positive inotropy, which may be a new therapeutic strategy for chronic heart failure.
