瞬时受体电位(transiem receptor potential,TRP)超家族是一组非选择性阳离子通道,分为7个亚家族。TRPM亚家族包括8个不同的成员,TRPM1~8。TRPM2广泛表达于可兴奋细胞和非兴奋性细胞,形成Ca^2+通透性阳离子通道,并发挥不同的细胞功能。TRPM2通道可被ADP一核糖(ADPR)、Ca^2+、H2O2以及其他活性氧(ROS)所激活。现已证明,TRPM2作为氧化应激传感器,介导了氧化应激引起的细胞内Ca^2+浓度升高,并参与多种细胞的生理/病理过程。丰富的证据表明,TRPM2可作为氧化应激相关疾病的一个潜在的治疗靶点。本文对以上方面的研究进展做一综述。
Abstract: Transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily is a superfamily of cation channels that can be divided into seven subfamilies. TRPM2 is the second member of the TRPM subfamily, which includes eight members, namely TRPM1-8. TRPM2 is widely expressed in excitable and non-excitable cells, where it forms a Ca^2+-permeable cation channel and performs diverse cellular functions. TRPM2 channels are activated by ADP-ribose (ADPR), Ca^2+, H2O2 and other reactive oxygen species (ROS). It is established that TRPM2 serves as a cellular sensor for oxidative stress, mediating oxidative stress-induced [Ca^2+] increase and con- tributing to pathological processes in many cell types. Accumulating evidence has indicated that TRPM2 is a potential therapeutic tar- get for oxidative stress-related diseases. This review will highlight recent progress in this field.
