Activation of Ca2+‐activated Cl channel ANO1 by localized Ca2+ signals

Abstract: Ca2+‐activated chloride channels (CaCCs) regulate numerous physiological processes including epithelial transport, smooth muscle contraction and sensory processing. Anoctamin‐1 (ANO1, TMEM16A) is a principal CaCC subunit in many cell types, yet our understanding of the mechanisms of ANO1 activation and regulation are only beginning to emerge. Ca2+ sensitivity of ANO1 is rather low and at negative membrane potentials the channel requires several micromoles of intracellular Ca2+ for activation. However, global C… Show more

“…In the latter model, Ca 2+ release from the ER through IP 3 Rs would provide the Ca 2+ signal required for CaCC activation and Cl − secretion. IP 3 Rs have been shown to colocalize with CaCCs in other cell types such as Xenopus oocytes and nociceptive sensory neurons and may therefore create microdomains with enhanced cytoplasmic [Ca 2+ ] that mediate CaCC activation [77, 7981]. Such a model is supported by studies in Xenopus oocytes that suggest that Ca 2+ entering the cytosol through CRAC channels is taken up by the ER via SERCA pumps and released by IP 3 Rs at different sites to activate CaCCs [77].…”

“…Recent publications, however, raised the possibility that activation of I Cl(Ca) is mediated by a Ca 2+ signal localized at the sarcolemma [20,21]. Moreover, it has turned out that TMEM16A channels are abundantly available in close proximity to IP 3 receptors in nociceptive neurons and to ryanodine receptors (RyRs) in smooth muscle cells [21,22].…”

“…Consistent with this, ANO-1 modulation of spiking evoked by current injection is sensitive to intracellular chloride level [51] but demonstration that ANO-1 itself evokes spiking was based on a chloride reversal potential of -18 mV [49]. Given its activation requirements [52], we predicted that ANO-1 channels would not be activated by the GABAergic input underlying PAD; recall that GABA A R activation is necessary for PAD [22]. Nonetheless, to rule out a contribution by ANO-1, we repeated virtual PAD experiments (like in Fig 2) before and after blockade of ANO-1 channels by bath-applied 10 μM T16Ainh-A01 (A01) ( Fig 6 ).…”
