Publication Activation of TRPC6 Channels Is Essential for Lung Ischaemia–Reperfusion Induced Oedema in Mice(Nature Publishing Group, 2012) Weissmann, Norbert; Sydykov, Akylbek; Storch, Ursula; Fuchs, Beate; Schnitzler, Michael Mederos y; Brandes, Ralf P.; Grimminger, Friedrich; Meissner, Marcel; Freichel, Marc; Offermanns, Stefan; Veit, Florian; Pak, Oleg; Krause, Karl-Heinz; Schermuly, Ralph T.; Brewer, Alison C; Schmidt, Harald H.H.W.; Seeger, Werner; Gudermann, Thomas; Ghofrani, Hossein A.; Dietrich, Alexander; Kalwa, Hermann; Shah, Ajay MukeshLung ischaemia–reperfusion-induced oedema (LIRE) is a life-threatening condition that causes pulmonary oedema induced by endothelial dysfunction. Here we show that lungs from mice lacking nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase (Nox2\(^{y/−}\)) or the classical transient receptor potential channel 6 TRPC6\(^{−/-}\) are protected from LIR-induced oedema (LIRE). Generation of chimeric mice by bone marrow cell transplantation and endothelial-specific Nox2 deletion showed that endothelial Nox2, but not leukocytic Nox2 or TRPC6, are responsible for LIRE. Lung endothelial cells from Nox2- or TRPC6-deficient mice showed attenuated ischaemia-induced Ca\(^{2+}\) influx, cellular shape changes and impaired barrier function. Production of reactive oxygen species was completely abolished in Nox2\(^{y/−}\) cells. A novel mechanistic model comprising endothelial Nox2-derived production of superoxide, activation of phospholipase C-γ, inhibition of diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase, DAG-mediated activation of TRPC6 and ensuing LIRE is supported by pharmacological and molecular evidence. This mechanism highlights novel pharmacological targets for the treatment of LIRE.
