Objective: To investigate the role of transient receptor potential melastatin 7(TRPM7) in the prolifer-ation and migration of human buccal mucosal fibroblasts. Methods: Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reac-tion
immunofluorescence method
and whole-cell patch clamp were used to determine the expression of TRPM7 infibroblasts. MTT and wound-healing assays were used to examine the effects of inhibiting TRPM7 channels using2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate(2-APB) or shRNA on fibroblast proliferation and migration. Results: TRPM7 chan-nels were functionally expressed in human buccal mucosal fibroblasts. TRPM7 channels were successfully blockedafter 48 h of TRPM7 shRNA treatment
and their expression was inhibited by 500 μmol/L of 2-APB. Comparedwith the control group
the TRPM7-like currents were significantly decreased in the two experimental groups accord-ing to patch-clamp recording
and the proliferation and migration abilities of fibroblasts were significantly sup-pressed after 24 h of treatments(P < 0.05). Conclusion: The TRPM7 channel is involved in the regulation of prolif-eration and migration of human buccal mucosal fibroblasts.
