Current understanding of TRPM7 pharmacology and drug development for stroke

Abstract: The initial excitement and countles efforts to find a pharmacological agent that disrupts the excitotoxic pathway of ischemic neuronal death have only led to disappointing clinical trials. Currently, a thrombolytic agent called recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is the only pharmacological treatment available for patients with acute ischemic stroke in most countries. Even though its efficacy has been confirmed repeatedly, rt-PA is considerably underused due to reasons including a short therapeuti… Show more

“…TRPM2 (Verma et al, 2012), TRPM4 (Loh et al, 2014), and TRPM7 have been implicated in ischemic brain injury (reviewed in Aarts and Tymianski, 2005;Bae and Sun, 2013). In vivo siRNA-mediated silencing of TRPM4 reduces brain infarct volume by half and facilitates functional recovery in rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion (Loh et al, 2014).…”

“…Carvacrol, acting as a TRPM7 inhibitor, protects brain from neonatal hypoxic-ischemic injury (Chen et al, 2015). Thus, TRPM7 becomes a promising therapeutic target for stroke treatment (Bae and Sun, 2011, 2013). …”

“…These observations strongly support the notion that ROS-mediated TRPM7 activation releases Zn 2+ from intracellular vesicles after Zn 2+ overload. Like the endoplasmic reticulum, these vesicles are a distributed system for divalent cation uptake and release, but in this case the primary divalent ion is Zn 2+ rather than Ca , an ion channel and cytoplasmic kinase, is ubiquitously expressed and essential in early embryonic development (1-4) but also may mediate oxidative stress-induced anoxic neuronal death in adults (5,6). As an ion channel, TRPM7 conducts Zn 2+ >Mg 2+ ∼ Ca 2+ and monovalent cations (7-10) and contributes to labile cytosolic and nuclear Zn 2+ concentrations (8).…”
