title: 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) activates mouse TRPC6 channels expressed in HEK293 cells.
abstract: In the present study, we show that the eicosanoid compound, 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), an important arachidonic acid metabolite, activates mouse TRPC6 in a stable, overexpressing HEK293 cell line, Hek-t6.11. Application of 20-HETE rapidly induced an inward, non-selective current in whole-cell recordings, which was inhibited by N-methyl-d-glucamine, 1.8 mm Ca2+, and 100 microM Gd3+ but remained unaffected by flufenamate and indomethacin. The current-voltage relationship obtained at low concentrations of 20-HETE (1-10 microM) demonstrated slight inward rectification, whereas the highest concentration of 20-HETE tested (30 microM) showed outward rectification, as shown previously for these channels using 100 microM 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol. Dose-response curves indicate that 20-HETE activated TRPC6 channels with an EC50 = 0.8 microM. Single channel analysis using inside-out patches revealed that 20-HETE increased open probability of mouse TRPC6 channels approximately 3-fold, and this was in a membrane-delimited fashion. Interestingly, 20-HETE did not provoke changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations. Thus, we have identified an arachidonic acid metabolite, 20-HETE, as a novel activator for a TRP family member, TRPC6.
