Aims We investigated the molecular mechanism underlying the role of transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1), a Ca2+-permeable non-selective cation channel, in the activation of endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS) in endothelial cells (ECs) and mice. Methods and results In ECs, TRPV1 ligands (evodiamine or capsaicin) promoted NO production, eNOS phosphorylation, and the formation of a TRPV1-eNOS complex, which were all abrogated by the TRPV1 antagonist capsazepine. TRPV1 ligands promoted the phosphorylation of Akt, calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and TRPV1, and increased the formation of a TRPV1-Akt-CaMKII complex. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ abolished the ligand-induced increase in the phosphorylation of Akt and CaMKII, formation of a TRPV1-eNOS complex, and eNOS activation. Inhibition of PI3K and CaMKII suppressed the ligand-induced increase in TRPV1 phosphorylation, formation of a TRPV1-eNOS complex, and eNOS activation. TRPV1 activation increased the phosphorylation of Akt, CaMKII, and eNOS in the aortas of wild-type mice but failed to activate eNOS in TRPV1-deficient aortas. Additionally, TRPV1 ligand-induced angiogenesis was diminished in eNOS-or TRPV1-deficient mice. When compared with apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-deficient mice, ApoE/TRPV1-double-knockout mice displayed reduced phosphorylation of eNOS, Akt, and CaMKII in aortas but worsened atherosclerotic lesions. Conclusion TRPV1 activation in ECs may trigger Ca2+-dependent PI3K/Akt/CaMKII signalling, which leads to enhanced phosphorylation of TRPV1, increased TRPV1-eNOS complex formation, eNOS activation and, ultimately, NO production.
