Article Abstract
Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin Subfamily Member 4 (TRPM4) has been demonstrated to be aberrantly expressed in several cancers but seldom reported in acute leukemia. Based on database mining and validated experiments, our present data show that TRPM4 is selectively overexpressed in AML patients and cell lines with the MLL gene rearrangement. We analyzed the correlation between TRPM4 expression and clinical parameters in a validated cohort of AML patients. Increased TRPM4 expression was associated with significant leukocytosis (p = .028), M4/M5 subtype (p = .000), FLT3-ITD mutation (p = .034), MLL status (p = .007) and a higher risk stratification (p = .001). Knockdown of TRPM4 mediated by siRNA impaired proliferation and arrested the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase in MLL-rearranged leukemia cells. We suggested that TRPM4 may be involved in the pathogenesis of MLL-rearranged leukemia through regulating the AKT/GLI1/Cyclin D1 pathway. The transcription factor HOXA9 was found to be responsible for upregulation of TRPM4 expression by binding to its promoter. In conclusion, TRPM4 is overexpressed in MLL-rearranged AML and blockade of TRPM4 may be an alternative therapeutic approach in AML patients with high TRPM4 expression.

Background: Transient receptor potential channel subfamily M member 4 (TRPM4) is a non-selective Na permeable ion channel that regulates disease processes by enhancing sodium entry and membrane depolarization, but its role in tumors remains underexplored. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of TRPM4 in pan-cancer progression and immune regulation.
Methods: The pan-cancer mRNA expression information of TRPM4 was obtained from TCGA and GTEx, and the protein expression information of TRPM4 was obtained from HPA database.

Background: Necrosis by sodium overload (NECSO) is a poorly understood, novel form of cell death implicated in cancer. TRPM4 is the only protein currently linked to NECSO and is downregulated in bortezomib-resistant multiple myeloma (MM) patients and cell lines.
Purpose: To investigate the potential of cinobufagin to overcome bortezomib resistance in MM and elucidate its underlying mechanism of action, particularly regarding TRPM4 and NECSO induction.

Cell death modalities play crucial roles in cancer evolution and therapeutic responses. Among various mechanisms, necrosis by sodium overload (NECSO) is a newly recognized process initiated by disruptions in Na homeostasis, manifesting through osmotic stress, energy depletion, and immunogenic damage. The TRPM4 gene, which encodes a calcium-activated and sodium-selective ion channel, has surfaced as a significant regulator connecting ionic metabolism with oncogenic pathways.

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa), a common malignancy among men globally, requires the identification of biomarkers for early diagnosis and predicting progression. This study aimed to identify the key genes involved in the occurrence and development of PCa.
Methods: Leveraging data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, this study integrated multi-chip datasets, conducting differential expression analysis and enrichment analysis to pinpoint PCa-related genes.

Status epilepticus (SE) is a severe condition that results in uncontrollable cerebral edema and cognitive dysfunction. Recent studies suggest that the localization of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in astrocytic endfeet plays a crucial role in regulating blood-brain water transport and cell volume control, particularly along perivascular pathways. However, the signaling mechanisms underlying AQP4 localization remain poorly understood.
