Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel Subfamily Vanilloid Member 3 is not Involved in Plasma Membrane Stretch-induced Intracellular Calcium Signaling in Merkel Cells.
Authors: Higashikawa A, Kojima Y, Sato M, Kimura M, Ogura K, Mochizuki H, Sase T, Shinya A, Kobune K, Furuya T, Sato T, Shibukawa Y, Tazaki M Abstract Merkel cells (MCs), which form part of the MC-neurite complex, making contact with sensory afferents to drive mechanosensory transduction mechanisms, express transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channel subfamily vanilloid (V) members 1, 2, and 4, as well as ankyrin subfamily member 1. While these proteins are involved in sensing plasma membrane stretch, less is known about the functional properties of TRPV subfamily member 3 (TRPV3) during membrane stretch in MCs. The aim of this study was to determine whether TRPV3 channels were involved in mechanosensory activity by measuring intracellular free Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)]…

Whereas removable dentures were acceptable and considered a norm earlier, patients do, to an increasing degree,demand fixed prosthetics; consequently, the development of implants has had an important impact. The balance in the chewing organ will change with time, due to age?related changes within the bone and the loss of teeth due to caries or periodontal disease, and malocclusions may develop or aggravate. The re?establishment of an aesthetical and functional satisfactory solution cannot be reached by replacing teeth by fixed prosthodontics and implants. The aim of this up…
