The TRPM7 channel has been shown to play a pivotal role in cell survival during brain ischemia as well as in the survival of other cell types challenged with apoptotic stimuli. Ca2+ is thought to be central to the channel’s ability to regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. However, channel-mediated entry of Mg2+ and Zn2+ have also been implicated in cell death. Here we show that depletion of TRPM7 by RNA interference in fibroblasts increases cell resistance to apoptotic stimuli by decreasing ROS levels in a Mg2+-dependent manner. Depletion of TRPM7 lowered cellular Mg2+, decreased the concentration of ROS and lessened p38 MAP kinase and JNK activation as well as decreased caspase-3 activation and PARP cleavage in response to apoptotic stimuli. Re-expression of TRPM7 or of a kinase-inactive mutant of TRPM7 in TRPM7-knockdown cells increased cellular Mg2+ and ROS levels, as did expression of the Mg2+ transporter SLC41A2. In addition, expression of SLC41A2 increased TRPM7-knockdown cells’ sensitivity to apoptotic stimuli as well as boosted ROS generation in response to cell stress. Together these data uncover an essential role for Mg2+ in TRPM7’s control of cell survival and in the regulation of cellular ROS levels.
