Functional coupling between TRPV4 channel and TMEM16F modulates human trophoblast fusion
2021-12-12
Abstract excerpt
TMEM16F, a Ca 2+ -activated phospholipid scramblase (CaPLSase), is critical for placental trophoblast syncytialization, HIV infection, and SARS-CoV2-mediated syncytialization. How TMEM16F is activated during cell fusion is unclear. Here, we used trophoblasts as a model for cell fusion and demonstrated that Ca 2+ influx through Ca 2+ permeable transient receptor potential vanilloid channel TRPV4 is critical for...
