TRPC-6 is present in atrial endocardial endothelium in humans, pigs, and mice. Endocardial TRPC-6 channels act as atrial mechanosensors, showing changes in localization, expression levels, and activity in response to applied mechanical stretch in a time-dependent manner. The atrial endocardial endothelium exerts TRPC-6-dependent paracrine effects that increase the amplitude of myocardial Ca2+ transients under normal physiological conditions. These positive inotropic effects are lost in settings of acute stretch. Endocardial TRPC-6 participates in a regulatory feedback loop that acutely protects against stretch-induced myocardial Ca2+ overload. However, with persistent stretch, reduced expression of endocardial TRPC-6 and irregular Ca2+ transient periodicity may contribute to an increased arrhythmia propensity. Mechanoelectrical feedback may increase arrhythmia susceptibility, but the molecular mechanisms are incompletely understood. This study showed that mechanical stretch altered the localization, protein levels, and function of the cation-selective transient receptor potential channel (TRPC)-6 in atrial endocardial cells in humans, pigs, and mice. In endocardial/myocardial cross-talk studies, addition of media from porcine atrial endocardium (AE) cells altered the calcium (Ca2+) transient characteristics of human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. These changes did not occur with media from stretched AE cells. Our data suggested that endocardial TRPC-6-dependent paracrine signaling may modulate myocardial Ca2+ homeostasis under basal conditions and protect against stretch-induced atrial arrhythmias.
