Abstract
Emerging evidence hints in favor of a life-threatening link between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the cardiovascular system. SARS-CoV-2 may result in dramatic cardiovascular complications, whereas the severity of COronaVIrus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the incidence of fatalities tend to increase in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular complications. SARS-CoV-2 is internalized into the host cells by endocytosis and may then escape the endolysosomal system via endosomes. Two-pore channels drive endolysosomal trafficking through the release of endolysosomal Ca2+. Recent evidence suggested that the pharmacological inhibition of TPCs prevents Ebola virus and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome COronaVirus (MERS-CoV) entry into host cells. In this perspective, we briefly summarize the biophysical and pharmacological features of TPCs, illustrate their emerging role in the cardiovascular system, and finally present them as a reliable target to treat cardiovascular complications in COVID-19 patients.
Introduction
The dramatic outbreak of the COronaVIrus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is imposing an unmet medical need to the scientific community. SARS-CoV-2 causes viral pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which may be associated with a multiorgan dysfunction resulting from the cytokine storm produced by viral infection (; Wang et al., 2020; Zhou et al., 2020). Furthermore, SARS-CoV-2 may induce major cardiovascular complications, including myocarditis and myocardial injury, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), arrhythmia, acute coronary syndrome, venous thromboembolism and stroke (; ; Zheng et al., 2020). Moreover, a high prevalence of pre-existing CV comorbidities, such as hypertension and coronary heart disease, has been observed among COVID-19 patients and associated with worse clinical outcome and increased risk of death (; ; Zheng et al., 2020). Coronaviruses, including those responsible for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and SARS-CoV, as well as Ebola virus, exploit the endolysosomal (EL) compartment to infect host cells (; ; ). Likewise, SARS-CoV-2 uses the viral spike (S) protein to bind the membrane-bound angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and then undergoes rapid endocytosis to gain access into the host cell (; ; Walls et al., 2020). ACE2 is a metallopeptidase that plays a crucial role in the cardiovascular system by cleaving angiotensin I to produce angiotensin 1–9; this, in turn, stimulates the angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) to induce nitric oxide (NO) release, to reduce the vascular tone, and to protect myocardium against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury (; Paz Ocaranza et al., 2020). ACE2 is widely expressed in cardiac myocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and vascular endothelial cells (Patel et al., 2014; ; ; ). In agreement with these observations, SARS-CoV-2 infected endothelial cells in several vascular beds (Varga et al., 2020), including cerebral capillaries (), and induced endothelial dysfunction associated with apoptosis (Varga et al., 2020; Yin et al., 2020). Conversely, the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in cardiomyocytes is yet to be shown, although COVID-19 may induce myocarditis and AMI. In the present perspective, we discuss the possibility of targeting two-pore channels (TPCs), which are crucial to endocytosis and EL trafficking (; Vassileva et al., 2020), to interfere with SARS-CoV-2 entry into cardiovascular cells.
Basic Insights Into EL Ca2+ Signaling: The Role of TPCs in the Cardiovascular System
The EL Ca2+ store comprises a plethora of organelles enriched with H+ and Ca2+, which are widely distributed across the phylogenetic tree, and includes: lysosomes, lysosome-related organelles, secretory vesicles, vacuoles, acidocalcisomes, and the Golgi apparatus (Patel and Docampo, 2010; ). The free Ca2+ concentration in the EL compartment may vary from 2 to 3 μM in early endosomes (EEs) up to 500–600 μM in lysosomes, and therefore emerges as the second largest Ca2+ store in mammalian cells after the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (). Lysosomal Ca2+ refilling is supported by the negative (−20 mV/−40 mV, lumen positive) resting lysosomal membrane potential (ΔΨ) and is driven by the H+-gradient, also known as proton-motive force, established across the lysosomal membrane by the vacuolar type H+-ATPase (v-ATPase) (; Xu and Ren, 2015; ). EL Ca2+ uptake may be prevented by blocking the v-ATPase activity with concanamycin or bafilomycin A1 and by increasing intravesicular pH with membrane-permeant bases (i.e., NH4Cl) or protonophores (i.e., monensin and nigericin) (; , ). A lysosomal Ca2+/H+ exchanger (CAX) has been detected in non-placental mammalian cells, but not in higher vertebrates (). The molecular mechanism which senses the intraluminal acidic pH to drive EL Ca2+ refilling remains, therefore, to be fully elucidated.
EL Ca2+ release may occur through multiple Ca2+-permeable pathways (Figure 1), including TPCs and Transient Receptor Potential Mucolipin 1 (TRPML1), TRPML2 and TRPML3 (; ). TPCs belong to the super-family of voltage-gated ion channels and represent a molecular intermediate in the transition from a primordial two-domain channel, which underwent two rounds of intragenic duplication to generate, respectively, the tetrameric voltage-gated K+ channels (KV) and the monomeric voltage-gated Na+ (NaV) and Ca2+ (CaV) channels (Rahman et al., 2014). The TPC gene family encompasses three members, TPCN1, TPCN2, and TPCN3, which, respectively, encode for TPC1, TPC2, and TPC3. However, only TPC1 and TPC2 are expressed in primates and rodents (; ; ). TPC1 is mainly found in EEs and recycling endosomes, while TPC2 is more abundant in late endosomes (LEs) and lysosomes (; ). Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), the most powerful Ca2+-releasing second messenger, has been shown to activate TPCs and mobilize EL Ca2+ in response to extracellular stimulation (, ). In addition, TPCs are activated by phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate [PI(3,5)P2], which is the most abundant phosphatidylinositol in LEs and lysosomes, to mediate Na+ and Ca2+-permeable channels (). A recent investigation disclosed that TPC ion-selectivity is finely regulated by the gating stimulus: NAADP and the synthetic compound TPC2-A1-N elicit non-selective Ca2+-permeable currents, which lead to large increase in [Ca2+]i, while PI(3,5)P2 and the synthetic compound TPC2-A1-P activate Na+-selective currents, which result in weaker intracellular Ca2+ signals (). The synthetic NAADP analog, NED-19, is widely employed to prevent NAADP binding to TPCs, thereby inhibiting NAADP-induced EL Ca2+ release (; Pitt et al., 2016). Furthermore, molecular docking studies showed that a number of CaV and NaV antagonists, including dihydropyridines (e.g., nifedipine and nitrendipine), phenylalkylamines (e.g., verapamil), and local anaesthetics (e.g., lidocaine), directly block the TPC pore and inhibit NAADP-induced Ca2+ release (; Rahman et al., 2014). Finally, TPCs are sensitive to tetrandrine (Sakurai et al., 2015), a plant-derived bis-benzylisoquinoline alkaloid, which is widely employed in traditional Chinese medicine and may also serve as CaV antagonist (Yao and Jiang, 2002).
FIGURE 1
TPCs may trigger global Ca2+ signals evoked by a growing number of extracellular stimuli (, ). NAADP-induced EL Ca2+ release may be amplified by Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) via inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptors (InsP3Rs) and ryanodine receptors (RyRs), possibly at junctions between acidic organelles and the ER (; Penny et al., 2015; ). Ultrastructural analysis revealed that lysosomes may form close associations with the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR) in both cardiac myocytes () and VSMCs (, ; ). It has been shown that β-adrenoreceptor stimulation engages NAADP-induced Ca2+ release through TPC2 to increase the SR Ca2+ load, thereby increasing SR Ca2+ release via RyR2 and increase cardiac contraction (; ; ). Prolonged β-adrenoreceptor stimulation may, thus, result in ventricular arrhythmia and cardiac hypertrophy in TPC2 wild-type, but not knockout, mice (). On the other hand, TPC1 may contribute to IR injury in cardiac myocytes, by triggering the cytosolic Ca2+ overload and apoptotic cell death (). Likewise, multiple agonists, such as endothelin 1 and angiotensin II, recruit NAADP-induced EL Ca2+ release through TPC2 to trigger CICR through RyR3 and to promote vasoconstriction (; ; ; Trufanov et al., 2019). Ultrastructural investigations showed that TPC2 is closely apposed to RyR3 at lysosomal-ER nanojunctions, which tend to cluster in the perinuclear area and provide an ideal signaling platform to amplify the local Ca2+ response to extracellular stimuli (, ; ). Exaggerated NAADP signaling could be induced by hypoxia in pulmonary artery VSMCs and trigger the complex process of vascular remodeling that leads to pulmonary arterial hypertension (). Finally, TPCs are emerging as crucial players in endothelial Ca2+ dynamics (; Zuccolo et al., 2019a). NAADP activates endothelial TPCs to induce the global Ca2+ signals which control NO release and blood pressure (), secretion of von Willebrand factor (vWF) and platelet aggregation (), neurovascular coupling (; Zuccolo et al., 2019b; ), angiogenesis () and vasculogenesis (Zuccolo et al., 2016; ). A recent investigation confirmed that, also in the endothelial lineage, NAADP-induced Ca2+ release through TPCs may be amplified into regenerative intracellular Ca2+ oscillations by the Ca2+-dependent recruitment of InsP3Rs ().
The Role of TPCs in the Regulation of Lysosomal Functions and Endocytosis
When TPCs are not coupled to juxtaposed RyRs or InsP3Rs, EL Ca2+ signals remain spatially restricted around the EL membrane, thereby regulating lysosomal morphology, transport, and fusion events (; ; Vassileva et al., 2020). Local EL Ca2+ signals were shown to regulate endocytosis and vesicular trafficking of membrane receptors and protein toxins. For instance, knockout of TPC2 induced epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor accumulation in LEs (), and delayed platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor internalization and degradation (Ruas et al., 2014). Similarly, genetic deletion of either TPC1 or TPC2 induced integrin accumulation within EEs (). Furthermore, knockout of TPC1 halted the uptake and trafficking through the early endocytic route of the so-called “short trip” bacterial toxins, such as diphteria and anthrax toxins (). Three independent interactome screens revealed that TPCs are closely associated with Q- and R-SNARE proteins, which orchestrate intravesicular membrane dynamics (; ; ; ). The Ca2+-sensor that couples EL Ca2+ release to endosomal membrane fusion events is yet to be identified, but could include a member of the Annexin family of Ca2+-binding membrane proteins (ANXA1–7), which are also part of the TPC interactome (; ). Notably, TPC-mediated local Ca2+ signals may also control infection and intracellular trafficking of life-threatening viral pathogens, including EBOV (Sakurai et al., 2015) and MERS-CoV ().
TPCs Mediate Entry and Trafficking of Viruses in Host Cells
The EL compartment provides a route that can be highjacked by viruses to penetrate into the cytosol of host cells for replication (; ; ). EBOV has long been regarded as the main causative pathogen of Ebola hemorrhagic fever or EBOV disease (EVD), which is associated with high-fatality rates in humans and primates (). Following attachment to the surface of host cells, EBOV is internalized via micropinocytosis and then trafficked through EEs and LEs, where the surface viral glycoproteins (GPs) are cleaved by the lysosomal cysteine proteases, cathepsin B and L, and primed for fusion. Subsequently, viral GPs interact with their late endosomal/lysosomal receptor, protein Neimann-Pick C1 (NPC-1), which causes the viral envelope to fuse with the endosomal membrane and release the nucleocapside into the cytosol. Herein, the viral genome is transcribed and replicated, followed by the assembly of viral proteins and virions budding from the cell (White and Schornberg, 2012; Salata et al., 2019). A landmark study by Sakurai et al. (2015) revealed that genetic silencing or knockdown of either TPC1 or TPC2 inhibited EBOV infection in vitro. The same result was obtained by overexpressing a dominant-negative TPC2 mutant in host cells (). The molecular deletion of TPCs interfered with virus-endosome membrane fusion and prevented nucleocapside release into the cytosol, thereby impeding viral replication (Sakurai et al., 2015). EBOV infection in vitro was also strongly repressed by blocking TPCs with NED-19 and with three structurally distinct inhibitors of L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, i.e., verapamil, diltiazem, and nimodipine (Sakurai et al., 2015). These findings suggested that CaV antagonists, which have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of multiple cardiovascular disorders (; ), could represent an alternative strategy to combat Ebola hemorrhagic fever. However, the Chinese medicinal herb, tetrandrine, was the most powerful inhibitor of EBOV infection in vitro and was therapeutically effective also in in vivo mouse models (Sakurai et al., 2015). Notably, tetrandrine inhibited NAADP- and PI(3,5)P2-evoked lysosomal currents and attenuated NAADP-induced intracellular Ca2+ release in living cells (Sakurai et al., 2015). A recent screening campaign confirmed that TPC2 activation regulates EBOV entry in host cells. Measurement of PI(3,5)P2-evoked lysosomal currents, NAADP-induced Ca2+ release and single-channel activity, revealed that FDA-approved dopamine antagonists, such as pimozide and fluphenazine, and selective estrogen receptor modulators, such as clomiphene and raloxifene, were also able to target TPC2 by plugging the channel pore (). Furthermore, these novel inhibitors of TPC2 effectively reduced EBOV infection in vitro ().
Subsequently, TPC2 was found to also regulate MERS-CoV infectivity. MERS-CoV has been isolated for the first time in Saudi Arabia in 2012 and to date has affected > 1,500 individuals worldwide, with a high fatality rate (∼30–50%) (; ). The viral S protein binds to the transmembrane receptor, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4), and is then primed for fusion with the cell membrane by multiple proteases, including furin, trypsin, and transmembrane protease/serine subfamily member 2 (TMPRSS2) (; V’kovski et al., 2020). In the absence of cell surface proteases, MERS-CoV entry is mediated by clathrin-mediated endocytosis followed by S protein cleavage by the endosomal cathepsins B and L (Shirato et al., 2013; ). This, in turn, triggers S protein-dependent fusion of viral and endosomal membranes, which results in the release of viral genome into the cytoplasm (Shirato et al., 2013; ). Genetic silencing of endogenous TPC1 or TPC2, but not TRPML1, reduced MERS-CoV infectivity (). The same inhibitory effect on MERS-CoV infection was achieved by overexpressing TPC1 or TPC2 (), a maneuver that interferes with EL trafficking. Likewise, MERS-CoV infectivity was reduced by blocking TPCs with CaV antagonists, i.e., nifedipine, nimodipine and nicardipine, NaV antagonists, i.e., benzocaine and procaine, and bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids, including fangchinoline, thaligine, and tetrandrine (). Fangchinoline and thaligine were the most effective drugs at impairing MERS-CoV entry into host cells and Ca2+ imaging confirmed that fangchinoline blocked NAADP-induced intracellular Ca2+ release in living cells (). Furthermore, MERS-CoV infection was impaired by reducing PI(3,5)P2 levels (), which suggests that PI(3,5)P2-dependent regulation of TPCs may play a crucial role in controlling MERS-CoV infection. The role of EL Ca2+ release in mediating this process was further suggested by the inhibitory effect on MERS-CoV infectivity of chloroquine and the weak base ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) (). These drugs inhibit cathepsin activity and, therefore, prevent S protein activation, by neutralizing EL pH (). However, an increase in EL pH also represents a widely employed strategy to deplete the EL Ca2+ store, as intraluminal Ca2+ reloading impinges on the proton-motrive force (; ). Furthermore, bafilomycin A1, which causes an increase in EL pH by inhibiting the v-ATPase activity and discharging the EL Ca2+ pool (; ), may also reduce MERS-CoV infection in vitro (). Therefore, TPC-mediated EL Ca2+ mobilization may be regarded as a crucial regulator of MERS-CoV entry in host cells.
TPCs as Putative Targets to Prevent SARS-COV-2 Infection in the Cardiovascular System
SARS-CoV-2 entry in host cells is mediated by pH-dependent endocytosis and requires proteolytic priming of the viral S protein by furin, TMPRSS2 and, to a lesser extent, cathepsins B and L (; ; Walls et al., 2020). Following successful endocytosis, SARS-CoV-2 escapes from the EL compartment and replicates in the cytosol from which it can spread to adjacent cells (Figure 2; ; ; Walls et al., 2020). Two pieces of evidence suggest that TPCs may orchestrate SARS-CoV-2 trafficking toward LEs/lysosomes and control the release of viral mRNA into the cytosol (Figure 2). First, SARS-CoV-2 infectivity is reduced by preventing EL Ca2+ refilling with NH4Cl and chloroquine (), whereas bafilomycin A1 blocks SARS-CoV translocation (Yang and Shen, 2020). Second, SARS-CoV-2 endocytosis is inhibited by inhibiting TPCs with tetrandrine and by preventing PI(3,5)P2 production with PIKfyve (). As aforementioned, tetrandrine does not selectively target TPCs and, therefore, additional studies exploiting the genetic manipulation and/or more specific blockers (e.g., NED-19) of TPCs are required to confirm their involvement in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Nevertheless, there is an emerging consensus supporting the permissive role of TPCs in SARS-CoV-2 endocytosis and EL trafficking (; ; Vassileva et al., 2020; Yang and Shen, 2020). Therefore, we put forward the hypothesis that the pharmacological blockade of TPCs could represent a promising strategy to prevent/attenuate the detrimental consequences of COVID-19 on the cardiovascular system, where ACE2 is widely expressed and which can be directly infected by SARS-CoV-2. This hypothesis would further support the suggested beneficial effect of chloroquine, which may prevent EL Ca2+ refilling, in COVID-19 patients (). Unfortunately, this drug is known to induce pro-arrhythmic events at high doses () and more recent reports failed to validate it as an effective drug against SARS-CoV-2 (). Nevertheless, its efficacy against viral infection endorses the pharmacological inhibition of TPC-mediated EL Ca2+ release as a promising therapeutic option.

Conclusion
Herein, we discussed the hypothesis to target EL TPCs to interfere with the infection of cardiovascular cells, including cardiomyocytes, VSMCs, and vascular endothelial cells, by SARS-CoV-2. The cardiovascular system displays a dangerous sensitivity to SARS-CoV-2-dependent infection, as documented by the cardiovascular complications associated with COVID-19 and to the high incidence of infection among subjects suffering from cardiovascular comorbidities. The pharmacology of TPCs includes established CaV antagonists (Figure 2), that are already in use to treat cardiovascular disorders, including hypertension, acute coronary syndrome, and AMI, and has been recently expanded by novel FDA-approved drugs (Figure 2), such as dopamine antagonists and selective estrogen receptor modulators. We suggest that pre-clinical and clinical studies should investigate the protective effects of these drugs on the cardiovascular system in COVID-19 patients. The role of TPCs in SARS-CoV-2 endocytosis in cardiovascular cells remains, however, to be firmly established.
