摘要
瞬时受体电位阳离子通道蛋白6(transient receptor potential cation channel 6,TRPC6)是一个非选择性阳离子通道,定位于足细胞膜,为6次跨膜蛋白。TRPC6与裂孔隔膜分子nephrin以及podocin间存在相互作用,其共同组成裂孔隔膜复合体,突变TRPC6干扰了该复合体的功能,导致足细胞不能维持正常的生物学功能。研究发现TRPC6基因突变与遗传性和非遗传性肾脏疾病发病密切相关,突变的TRPC6可能通过使足细胞动力学发生改变以及足细胞数量减少而引起肾脏疾病。阻断TRPC6通道可能是一种治疗蛋白尿性肾脏疾病的有效方法 ,将给肾病患者带来长期的临床效应。
Transient receptor potential cation channel 6(TRPC6) is a nonselective cation channel,located in the podocyte cell membrane and contains six membrane-spanning domains.TRPC6 is associated with slit diaphragm proteins-nephrin and podocin,the three proteins composing the slit diaphragm complex.Mutant TRPC6 may affect the function of this complex,leading to abnormalities in podocyte foot processes.Research suggested that mutant TRPC6 closely correlated with the mechanism of hereditary and non-hereditary nephropathies,possibly by altering podocyte dynamics and decreasing podocyte number.Blocking TRPC6 channels might be of therapeutic effect in treating kidney disease with proteinuria,and it may translate into long-lasting clinical benefits in patients with nephropathy.
