Er Myalgisk Encephalomyelitis en TRP ionkanalopati?

Et stigende antal artikler peger på dysregulering af calcium ion signalering hos ME patienter. Dette involverer Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) ion kanal dysfunktion (Reference 1 og referencer i denne artikel).

Senest har forskere fra Griffith Universitet påvist dysregulering af TRPM7 i NK celler fra ME patienter. Forskningsgruppen har tidligere påvist dysregulering af TRPM3 og skriver i deres nye artikel:

"Findings from this investigation suggest that TRPM7-dependent Ca2+ influx is reduced with agonism and increased with antagonism in ME/CFS patients relative to the age- and sex-matched HCs. The outcomes reported here potentially reflect TRPM3 dysfunction identified in this condition suggesting that ME/CFS is a TRP ion channelopathy."

TRPM7 er en ionkanal, der er involveret i regulering af flere forskellige immun celler (2).

F.eks. regulerer TRPM7 proliferation og polarisering af makrofager (3). Og TRPM7 kinase aktivitet regulerer degranulering af mastceller hos mus (4).

TRP ion kanaler er også dysregulerede i ME komorbiditeten Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS):
