Recent research has uncovered a novel role for TRPML1 in contraction of mouse bladder and urethral smooth muscles, which involves Ca2+ spark-activated large-conductance K+ channels. An analog role of TRPML1 in smooth muscle contraction of the prostate has not yet been considered. Here, we investigated effects of a TRPML1 inhibitor and of an activator on contractions of human prostate tissues. METHODS: Prostate tissues were obtained from patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. Contractions were induced by electric field stimulation (EFS), α1-adrenergic agonists (phenylephrine, methoxamine, noradrenaline), endothelin-1 or the thromboxane A2 analog U46619, or by cumulative concentrations of calcium chloride in calcium-free Krebs-Henseleit solution in an organ bath. RESULTS: The TRPML1 synthetic activator 1 (MLSA1) inhibited contractions induced by EFS, phenylephrine, noradrenaline and U46619 by approximately 20% (Figure 1A-D). Interestingly, the TRPML1 synthetic inhibitor 3 (MLSI3) showed inhibitory effects on contractions induced by EFS, phenylephrine, methoxamine and endothelin-1 as well. Inhibitions seen with MLSI3 were partly substantial, exceeding 70% inhibition for several concentrations of methoxamine and phenylephrine (Figure 1E-H). Using a calcium-free Krebs-Henseleit solution and following depletion of intracellular calcium stores, neither MLSA1 nor MLSI3 inhibited contractions induced by calcium chloride (Figure 1I and J). CONCLUSIONS: Interestingly, inhibitors and activators of TRPML1 inhibit neurogenic and agonist-induced contractions, suggesting an essential role of TRPML1 in prostate smooth muscle contraction. Lacking effects on calcium-induced contractions in Ca2+-free solution demonstrate central functions in calcium handling. Inhibition by the activator may be explained by depletion of calcium after TRPML1 activation, preventing calcium-dependent contractions by agonists. Inhibitions of the inhibitor may be explained by inhibition of cytosolic calcium elevations, again preventing calcium-dependent contractions by agonists.
