Our goal was to investigate the effect of heat shock on human monocyte‐derived dendritic cells (DCs) and to dissect the role of thermosensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in the process. We provide evidence that a short heat shock challenge (43 °C) decreased the endocytotic activity of the DCs and that this effect could be alleviated by the RNAi‐mediated knockdown of TRPV2 but, importantly, not by the pharmacological (antagonists) or molecular (RNAi) suppression of TRPV1 and TRPV4 activities/levels. Likewise, the heat shock‐induced robust membrane currents were selectively and markedly inhibited by TRPV2 “silencing” whereas modulation of TRPV1 and TRPV4 activities, again, had no effect. These intriguing data introduce TRPV2‐coupled signaling as a key player in mediating the cellular actions of heat shock on DCs.
