Abstract: Objective: To verify the expression of TRPM4 in buccal mucosal fibroblasts and explore its effects on migration and proliferation of buccal fibroblasts. Methods: Human buccal mucosa fibroblasts were isolated and cultured in vitro, and the expression of TRPM4 in fibroblasts was evaluated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunofluorescence. Whole cell patch clamp were performed to record the whole cell currents of TRPM4 channels. The effects of 9-phenanthrene or TRPM4 specific siRNA on the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts were estimated by MTT assay and cell scratch test, respectively. Results: TRPM4 was functional expressed in human buccal mucosa fibroblasts. Suppression the function of TRPM7 channel by 9-phenanthrene or specific siRNA inhibited the proliferation and migration capability of the cells. Conclusion: TRPM4 channels is involved in the regulation of proliferation and migration in human buccal mucosa fibroblasts.
