It is found that the most frequently employed PLC inhibitor, U73122, activates endogenous ionic currents in widely used cell lines and this work sets out to identify these U 73122‐sensitive ion channels.

This part of the review discusses the pharmacological modulation of TRPM4 by listing, comparing, and describing both endogenous and exogenous activators and inhibitors of the ion channel.

Kv12.1 channels are not sensitive to GqPCR-triggered activation of phospholipase Cβ
ABSTRACT Kv12.1 K+ channels are expressed in several brain areas, but no physiological function could be attributed to these subunits so far. As genetically-modified animal models are not available,...

The phospholipase C inhibitor U73122 is a potent agonist of the polymodal transient receptor potential ankyrin type 1 (TRPA1) receptor channel
The results indicate that U73122 is a potent and selective TRPA1 agonist and may present a novel lead compound for the development ofTRPA1-targeting drugs.

Expression of the C-Terminal Domain of Phospholipase Cβ3 Inhibits Signaling via Gαq-Coupled Receptors and Transient Receptor Potential Channels
PLCβ thus regulates TRPM3 and TRPM8 channels by masking phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate with its C-terminal domain, and in this way blocks the biological activation of TRP3 andTRPM8, which require interaction with this phospholipid.

Activation Mechanisms and Diverse Functions of Mammalian Phospholipase C
Dysregulation of PLC activity has been implicated in several pathophysiological conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders, and identification of new drug targets that can selectively modulate PLCActivity is important.

P2X7 receptor‐dependent increase in endocannabinoid 2‐arachidonoyl glycerol production by neuronal cells in culture: Dynamics and mechanism
Neurotransmission and neuroinflammation are controlled by local increases in both extracellular ATP and the endocannabinoid 2‐arachidonoyl glycerol (2‐AG). While it is known that extracellular ATP...

Inverse Modulation of Neuronal Kv12.1 and Kv11.1 Channels by 4-Aminopyridine and NS1643
Identification of currents in native cell types with mode shift that are activated through 4-AP and inhibited by NS1643 can provide strong evidence for contribution of Kv12.1-mediated currents.

TGR5 activation promotes stimulus-secretion coupling of pancreatic beta-cells via a PKA-dependent pathway
It is shown that activation of TGR5 in beta-cells stimulates insulin secretion via an AC/cAMP/PKA-dependent pathway which is supposed to interfere with SSC by affecting K ATP and Ca 2+ currents and thus membrane potential.

TRPM Channels in Human Diseases
Alterations in the expression and function of TRPM subfamily ion channels might generate several human diseases including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative alterations, organ dysfunction, cancer and many other channelopathies.

Riluzole activates TRPC5 channels independently of PLC activity
The transient receptor potential channel C5 is a Ca2+‐permeable cation channel, which is predominantly expressed in the brain, and novel specific modulators of TRPC5 might help to elucidate its function.

A need to re-evaluate the use of U73122 as a general inhibitor of PLC isozymes is suggested, as it failed to inhibit several purified PLCs.

9‐Phenanthrol inhibits human TRPM4 but not TRPM5 cationic channels

Phospholipase C inhibitor, U73122, releases intracellular Ca2+, potentiates Ins(1,4,5)P3-mediated Ca2+ release and directly activates ion channels in mouse pancreatic acinar cells.
The study reveals that U73122 has effects other than the inhibition of phospholipase C that influence Ca2+ signalling and can directly activate ion channels.
