“…Some evidence also suggests that activation of mitochondrial NADase is another mechanism for H 2 O 2 -induced ADPR generation and TRPM2 channel activation [ 92 ]. Since early in vitro studies that established a role for the TRPM2 channel in conferring susceptibility to H 2 O 2 -induced cell death in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells expressing recombinant mammalian TRPM2 channels [ 31 , 33 , 89 ], extensive efforts have been directed towards examining the importance of endogenous TRPM2 channels in mammalian cells in coupling a wide spectrum of OS-inducing pathological factors, as discussed below, to their profound impacts on cellular functions and, furthermore, the pathogenesis and progression of associated pathological conditions [ 73 , 78 , [83] , [84] , [85] , 87 , [93] , [94] , [95] , [96] , [97] , [98] , [99] , [100] , [101] , [102] , [103] , [104] , [105] ].…”
