Abstract

  • This study investigated how cereblon (CRBN), a substrate receptor of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that selectively degrades ion channels, targets cardiac transient receptor potential channel 1 (TRPC1).
  • Physiologically, CRBN ablation upregulated TRPC1 expression.
  • Mechanistically, the CRBN Lon domain directly interacts with the C- and N-terminals of TRPC1.
  • Increasing CRBN levels enhanced TRPC1 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation.
  • TRPC1 overexpression in HEK293-CRBN KO cells enhanced TRPC1 current density and Ca2+ transients.
  • Pathologically, cardiac TRPC1 expression in CRBN-deficient mice was increased during ex vivo ischemic/reperfusion.
  • Targeting the CRBN-TRPC1 axis may serve as a novel therapeutic approach to address cardiac disease.
