Whereas cardiac TRPC (transient receptor potential canonical) channels and the associated store-operated Ca 2+ entry (SOCE) are abnormally elevated during cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure, the mechanism of this upregulation is not fully elucidated but might be related to the activation of the mineralocorticoid pathway. Using a combination of biochemical, Ca 2+ imaging, and electrophysiological techniques, we determined the effect of 24-h aldosterone treatment on the TRPCs/Orai-dependent SOCE in adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes (ARVMs). The 24-h aldosterone treatment (from 100 nM to 1 µM) enhanced depletion-induced Ca 2+ entry in ARVMs, as assessed by a faster reduction of Fura-2 fluorescence decay upon the addition of Mn 2+ and increased Fluo-4/AM fluorescence following Ca 2+ store depletion. These effects were prevented by co-treatment with a specific mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist, RU-28318, and they are associated with the enhanced depletion-induced N-[4-[3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]phenyl]-4-methyl-1,2,3-thiadiazole-5-carboxamide (BTP2)-sensitive macroscopic current recorded by patch-clamp experiments. Molecular screening by qRT-PCR and Western blot showed a specific upregulation of TRPC1, TRPC5, and STIM1 expression at the messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels upon 24-h aldosterone treatment of ARVMs, corroborated by immunostaining. Our study provides evidence that the mineralocorticoid pathway specifically promotes TRPC1/TRPC5-mediated SOCE in adult rat cardiomyocytes.
