Dynamic Expression of Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid-3 and Integrated Signaling with Growth Factor Pathways during Lung Epithelial Wound Repair following Wood Smoke Particle and Other Forms of Lung Cell Injury. Mol Pharmacol 2021; 100:295-307. [PMID: 34290137 PMCID: PMC11037451 DOI: 10.1124/molpharm.121.000280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2021] [Accepted: 06/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Prior studies revealed increased expression of the transient receptor potential vanilloid-3 (TRPV3) ion channel after wood smoke particulate matter (WSPM) treatment of human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs). TRPV3 attenuated pathologic endoplasmic reticulum stress and cytotoxicity mediated by transient receptor potential ankyrin-1. Here, the basis for how TRPV3 expression is regulated by cell injury and the effects this has on HBEC physiology and WSPM-induced airway remodeling in mice was investigated. TRPV3 mRNA was rapidly increased in HBECs treated with WSPM and after monolayer damage caused by tryptic disruption, scratch wounding, and cell passaging. TRPV3 mRNA abundance varied with time, and stimulated expression occurred independent of new protein synthesis. Overexpression of TRPV3 in HBECs reduced cell migration and wound repair while enhancing cell adhesion. This phenotype correlated with disrupted mRNA expression of ligands of the epidermal growth factor, tumor growth factor-β, and frizzled receptors. Accordingly, delayed wound repair by TRPV3 overexpressing cells was reversed by growth factor supplementation. In normal HBECs, TRPV3 upregulation was triggered by exogenous growth factor supplementation and was attenuated by inhibitors of growth factor receptor signaling. In mice, subacute oropharyngeal instillation with WSPM also promoted TRPV3 mRNA expression and epithelial remodeling, which was attenuated by TRPV3 antagonist pre- and cotreatment. This latter effect may be the consequence of antagonist-induced TRPV3 expression. These findings provide insights into the roles of TRPV3 in lung epithelial cells under basal and dynamic states, as well as highlight potential roles for TRPV3 ligands in modulating epithelial damage/repair. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Coordinated epithelial repair is essential for the maintenance of the airways, with deficiencies and exaggerated repair associated with adverse consequences to respiratory health. This study shows that TRPV3, an ion channel, is involved in coordinating repair through integrated repair signaling pathways, wherein TRPV3 expression is upregulated immediately after injury and returns to basal levels as cells complete the repair process. TRPV3 may be a novel target for understanding and/or treating conditions in which airway/lung epithelial repair is not properly orchestrated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 3 (TRPV3) channel is activated by innocuous temperature and several chemical stimuli. It is proposed to be involved in pathological pain development and is therefore considered a potential target for treating pain. Local anesthetics have been used for patients with both acute and chronic pain. Although blockage of the voltage-gated sodium channel is the primary mechanism by which local anesthetics exert their effects, they cannot be explained by this mechanism alone, especially in pathologic states such as chronic pain. Indeed, the effects of local anesthetics on multiple targets involved in the pain pathway have been reported. It has also been suggested that modulating the function of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels (eg, TRPV1 and transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 [TRPA1]) is one of the mechanisms of action of local anesthetics. However, the effects of local anesthetics on TRPV3 have not been reported. METHODS We expressed TRPV3 in Xenopus oocytes and investigated the effects of local anesthetics on 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2APB)-induced currents using 2-electrode voltage-clamp techniques. RESULTS Clinically used local anesthetics inhibited the 2APB-activated currents from the TRPV3 channel in a concentration-dependent manner at pharmacologically relevant concentrations with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 2.5 (lidocaine), 1.4 (mepivacaine), 0.28 (ropivacaine), and 0.17 (bupivacaine) mmol/L, respectively. Conversely, these local anesthetics also directly induced currents at higher concentrations, although these currents were quite small compared to the 2APB-induced currents. We found that the inhibition of TRPV3 by lidocaine is noncompetitive and independent of intracellular signaling cascades. 2APB-induced TRPV3 currents were reduced by extracellular N-(2,6-dimethylphenylcarbamoylmethyl) triethylammonium bromide (QX-314) but not by intracellular QX-314 nor benzocaine. Moreover, lidocaine showed a use-dependent block in TRPV3 inhibition. Finally, QX-314 appeared to slightly permeate the activated TRPV3 channel pore based on examination of oocytes coexpressing TRPV3 and a sodium channel. These results suggest that local anesthetics could inhibit TRPV3 channel function by extracellular interactions of their charged forms with the channel pore. CONCLUSIONS Local anesthetics inhibited TRPV3 2APB-induced currents at pharmacologically relevant concentrations when TRPV3 was expressed in Xenopus oocytes. These effects seem to occur via an extracellular interaction between the charged form of the anesthetic with the TRPV3 channel pore. These results help to elucidate the mechanisms of action of local anesthetics.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential (TRP) channel superfamily consists of a large group of non-selective cation channels that serve as cellular sensors for a wide spectrum of physical and environmental stimuli. The 28 mammalian TRPs, categorized into six subfamilies, including TRPC (canonical), TRPV (vanilloid), TRPM (melastatin), TRPA (ankyrin), TRPML (mucolipin) and TRPP (polycystin), are widely expressed in different cells and tissues. TRPs exhibit a variety of unique features that not only distinguish them from other superfamilies of ion channels, but also confer diverse physiological functions. Located at the plasma membrane or in the membranes of intracellular organelles, TRPs are the cellular safeguards that sense various cell stresses and environmental stimuli and translate this information into responses at the organismal level. Loss- or gain-of-function mutations of TRPs cause inherited diseases and pathologies in different physiological systems, whereas up- or down-regulation of TRPs is associated with acquired human disorders. In this Cell Science at a Glance article and the accompanying poster, we briefly summarize the history of the discovery of TRPs, their unique features, recent advances in the understanding of TRP activation mechanisms, the structural basis of TRP Ca2+ selectivity and ligand binding, as well as potential roles in mammalian physiology and pathology.

Abstract
Biophysical cues from the cellular microenvironment are detected by mechanosensitive machineries that translate physical signals into biochemical signaling cascades. At the crossroads of extracellular space and cell interior are located several ion channel families, including TRP family proteins, that are triggered by mechanical stimuli and drive intracellular signaling pathways through spatio-temporally controlled Ca2+-influx. Mechanosensitive Ca2+-channels, therefore, act as critical components in the rapid transmission of physical signals into biologically compatible information to impact crucial processes during development, morphogenesis and regeneration. Given the mechanosensitive nature of many of the TRP family channels, they must also respond to the biophysical changes along the development of several pathophysiological conditions and have also been linked to cancer progression. In this review, we will focus on the TRPV, vanilloid family of TRP proteins, and their connection to cancer progression through their mechanosensitive nature.

Abstract
Ca2+ influx during oocyte maturation and after sperm entry is necessary to fill the internal Ca2+ stores and for complete egg activation. We knocked out the transient receptor potential vanilloid member 3 (TRPV3) and the T-type channel, CaV3.2, to determine their necessity for maintaining these functions in mammalian oocytes/eggs. Double-knockout (dKO) females were subfertile, their oocytes and eggs showed reduced internal Ca2+ stores, and, following sperm entry or Plcz (also known as Plcz1) cRNA injection, fewer dKO eggs displayed Ca2+ responses compared to wild-type eggs, which were also of lower frequency. These parameters were rescued and/or enhanced by removing extracellular Mg2+, suggesting that the residual Ca2+ influx could be mediated by the TRPM7 channel, consistent with the termination of divalent-cation oscillations in dKO eggs by a TRPM7 inhibitor. In total, we demonstrated that TRPV3 and CaV3.2 mediate the complete filling of the Ca2+ stores in mouse oocytes and eggs. We also showed that they are required for initiating and maintaining regularly spaced-out oscillations, suggesting that Ca2+ influx through PM ion channels dictates the periodicity and persistence of Ca2+ oscillations during mammalian fertilization.

Abstract
The stratum corneum (SC), the outermost epidermal layer, consists of nonviable anuclear keratinocytes, called corneocytes, which function as a protective barrier. The exact modes of cell death executed by keratinocytes of the upper stratum granulosum (SG1 cells) remain largely unknown. Here, using intravital imaging combined with intracellular Ca2+- and pH-responsive fluorescent probes, we aimed to dissect the SG1 death process in vivo. We found that SG1 cell death was preceded by prolonged (∼60 min) Ca2+ elevation and rapid induction of intracellular acidification. Once such intracellular ionic changes were initiated, they became sustained, irreversibly committing the SG1 cells to corneocyte conversion. Time-lapse imaging of isolated murine SG1 cells revealed that intracellular acidification was essential for the degradation of keratohyalin granules and nuclear DNA, phenomena specific to SC corneocyte formation. Furthermore, intravital imaging showed that the number of SG1 cells exhibiting Ca2+ elevation and the timing of intracellular acidification were both tightly regulated by the transient receptor potential cation channel V3. The functional activity of this protein was confirmed in isolated SG1 cells using whole-cell patch-clamp analysis. These findings provide a theoretical framework for improved understanding of the unique molecular mechanisms underlying keratinocyte-specific death mode, namely corneoptosis.

Abstract
The multimodal sensory channel transient receptor potential vanilloid-3 (TRPV3) is expressed in epidermal keratinocytes and implicated in chronic pruritus, allergy, and inflammation-related skin disorders. Gain-of-function mutations of TRPV3 cause hair growth disorders in mice and Olmsted syndrome in humans. Nevertheless, whether and how TRPV3 could be therapeutically targeted remains to be elucidated. We here report that mouse and human TRPV3 channel is targeted by the clinical medication dyclonine that exerts a potent inhibitory effect. Accordingly, dyclonine rescued cell death caused by gain-of-function TRPV3 mutations and suppressed pruritus symptoms in vivo in mouse model. At the single-channel level, dyclonine inhibited TRPV3 open probability but not the unitary conductance. By molecular simulations and mutagenesis, we further uncovered key residues in TRPV3 pore region that could toggle the inhibitory efficiency of dyclonine. The functional and mechanistic insights obtained on dyclonine-TRPV3 interaction will help to conceive therapeutics for skin inflammation.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 3 (TRPV3) is highly expressed in skin keratinocytes where it forms Ca2+-permeable nonselective cation channels to regulate various cutaneous functions. TRPV3 expression is upregulated in many skin disorders. Here, we examined how TRPV3 affects keratinocyte proliferation and investigated the underlying mechanism. Topical application of TRPV3 agonist, carvacrol, increased skin thickness in wild type (WT) mice but not in TRPV3 knockout (KO) mice. Carvacrol promoted proliferation of human keratinocytes HaCaT cells at concentrations ≤ 100 μM, but at 300 μM, it decreased cell viability, suggesting a nonmonotonic proliferative effect. Suppression of TRPV3 expression abolished carvacrol-induced cell proliferation while overexpression of TRPV3 enhanced HaCaT cell proliferation. Carvacrol also stimulated Ca2+ influx and proliferation of primary keratinocytes prepared from WT but not TRPV3 KO mice, suggesting that carvacrol-stimulated cell proliferation was dependent on TRPV3-mediated Ca2+ influx. Mechanistic investigation demonstrated that carvacrol stimulated TGFα release and increased phosphorylation levels of EGFR, PI3K, and NF-κB, effects abolished by suppression of TRPV3 expression and CaMKII inhibition. Moreover, inhibition of CaMKII, EGFR, PI3K, or NF-κB diminished carvacrol-induced cell proliferation. We conclude that while strong activation of TRPV3 may cause cell death, moderate activation of TRPV3 promotes cell proliferation in keratinocytes through Ca2+/CaMKII→TGFα/EGFR→PI3K→NF-κB signaling.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), a member of the TRP superfamily of channels, acts as 'polymodal cellular sensor' on primary sensory neurons where it mediates the peripheral and central processing of pain, itch, and thermal sensation. However, the TRPA1 expression extends far beyond the sensory nerves. In recent years, much attention has been paid to its expression and function in non-neuronal cell types including skin cells, such as keratinocytes, melanocytes, mast cells, dendritic cells, and endothelial cells. TRPA1 seems critically involved in a series of physiological skin functions, including formation and maintenance of physico-chemical skin barriers, skin cells, and tissue growth and differentiation. TRPA1 appears to be implicated in mechanistic processes in various immunological inflammatory diseases and cancers of the skin, such as atopic and allergic contact dermatitis, psoriasis, bullous pemphigoid, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and melanoma. Here, we report recent findings on the implication of TRPA1 in skin physiology and pathophysiology. The potential use of TRPA1 antagonists in the treatment of inflammatory and immunological skin disorders will be also addressed.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential vanilloid-superfamily member 3 (TRPV3) channel is implicated in a variety of physiological processes, including temperature sensing, nociception and itch, maintenance of the skin barrier, wound healing, hair growth, and embryonic development. TRPV3 is also associated with various skin diseases, including Olmsted syndrome, atopic dermatitis, and rosacea. Studies of TRPV3 are of fundamental importance for structural pharmacology aimed at the design of drugs targeting this channel and for understanding the molecular basis of temperature sensing. Here we describe a detailed protocol for expression and purification of chemically pure and stable TRPV3 protein that is suitable for structural and functional characterization of this channel, in particular for cryo-EM sample preparation and high-resolution 3D reconstruction.

Abstract
Gain-of-function mutations in the TRPV3 gene can cause Olmsted syndrome characterized by palmoplantar and periorificial keratoderma, itch, and hair loss. The mechanism underlying the hair loss remains unclear. In this study, we engineered an Olmsted syndrome mouse model by introducing the point mutation G568V to the corresponding Trpv3 locus in the mice. These mice developed fully penetrant hair loss. The hair loss was associated with premature differentiation of follicular keratinocytes characterized by precocious degeneration of trichohyalin and keratins, increased production of deiminated proteins, elevated apoptosis, and attenuation of transcription regulators (Foxn1, Msx2, Dlx3, and Gata3) known to regulate hair follicle differentiation. These abnormalities occurred in the medial‒proximal region of the inner root sheath and the hair shaft, where Trpv3 is highly expressed, and correlated with an impaired formation of the hair canal and the hair shaft. The mutant Trpv3 mice also exhibited increased proliferation in the outer root sheath, accelerated hair cycle, reduction of hair follicle stem cells, and miniaturization of regenerated hair follicles. Findings from this study suggest that precocious maturation of postmitotic follicular keratinocytes drives hair loss in patients with Olmsted syndrome.

Infusion of Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide-38 in Patients with Rosacea Induces Flushing and Facial Edema that Can Be Attenuated by Sumatriptan. J Invest Dermatol 2021; 141:1687-1698. [PMID: 33600826 DOI: 10.1016/j.jid.2021.02.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2020] [Revised: 01/21/2021] [Accepted: 02/02/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of rosacea is incompletely understood. Signaling neuropeptides, including PACAP, a regulator of vasodilation and edema, are upregulated in rosacea skin. Here, we evaluated PACAP38-induced rosacea features and examined whether a 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist could reduce these features. METHODS A total of 35 patients with erythematotelangiectatic rosacea received an intravenous infusion of 10 pmol/kg/minute of PACAP38 followed by an intravenous infusion of 4 mg sumatriptan or placebo (saline) on two study days in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, and cross-over trial. RESULTS PACAP38 increased facial skin blood flow by 90%, dilated the superficial temporal artery by 56%, and induced prolonged flushing and facial edema. Compared with placebo, sumatriptan reduced PACAP38-induced facial skin blood flow for 50 minutes (P = 0.023), constricted the superficial temporal artery for 80 minutes (P = 0.010), and reduced duration of flushing (P = 0.001) and facial edema (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS We established a clinical experimental model of rosacea features and showed that sumatriptan was able to attenuate PACAP38-induced rosacea flushing and edema. Findings support a key role of PACAP38 in rosacea flushing pathogenesis. It remains unknown whether PACAP38 inhibition can improve rosacea. TRIAL REGISTER The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.govNCT03878784 in March 2019.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential (TRP) channels constitute a superfamily of large ion channels that are activated by a wide range of chemical, mechanical and thermal stimuli. TRP channels with temperature sensitivity are called thermo-TRPs. They are involved in diverse physiological functions through their detection of external environmental temperature and internal body temperature. Each thermo-TRP has its own characteristic temperature threshold for activation. As a group, they cover temperatures ranging from cold to nociceptive high temperatures. Recently, many studies have identified the functions of thermo-TRPs residing in deep organs where they are exposed to body temperature. Importantly, temperature thresholds of thermo-TRPs can be regulated by physiological factors enabling their function at relatively constant body temperature. Moreover, several thermo-TRPs are reportedly engaged in body temperature regulation. This review will summarize the current understanding of thermo-TRPs, including their roles in thermosensation and functional regulation of physiological responses at body temperature and the regulation of body temperature.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) is one of the most universal secondary messengers, owing its success to the immense concentration gradient across the plasma membrane. Dysregulation of Ca2+ homeostasis can result in severe cell dysfunction, thereby initiating several pathologies like tumorigenesis and fibrosis. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels represent a superfamily of Ca2+-permeable ion channels that convey diverse physical and chemical stimuli into a physiological signal. Their broad expression pattern and gating promiscuity support their potential involvement in the cellular response to an altering environment. Growth factors (GF) are essential biochemical messengers that contribute to these environmental changes. Since Ca2+ is essential in GF signaling, altering TRP channel expression or function could be a valid strategy for GF to exert their effect onto their target. In this review, a comprehensive understanding of the current knowledge regarding the activation and/or modulation of TRP channels by GF is presented.

Abstract
Selection for desirable traits and breed-specific phenotypes has left distinctive footprints in the genome of pigs. As representative of a breed with strong selective traces aiming for robustness, health and performance, the Mangalitza pig, a native curly-haired pig breed from Hungary, was investigated in this study. Whole genome sequencing and SNP chip genotyping was performed to detect runs of homozygosity (ROH) in Mangalitza and Mangalitza-crossbreeds. We identified breed specific ROH regions harboring genes associated with the development of the curly hair type and further characteristics of this breed. Further analysis of two matings of Mangalitza with straight-coated pig breeds confirmed an autosomal dominant inheritance of curly hair. Subsequent scanning of the genome for variant effects on this trait revealed two variants potentially affecting hair follicle development and differentiation. Validation in a large sample set as well as in imputed SNP data confirmed these variants to be Mangalitza-specific. Herein, we demonstrated how strong artificial selection has shaped the genome in Mangalitza pigs and left traces in the form of selection signatures. This knowledge on genomic variation promoting unique phenotypes like curly hair provides an important resource for futures studies unraveling genetic effects for special characteristics in livestock.

Abstract
TRPV3 is a temperature-sensitive, nonselective cation channel expressed prominently in skin keratinocytes. TRPV3 plays important roles in hair morphogenesis and maintenance of epidermal barrier function. Gain-of-function mutations of TRPV3 have been found in both humans and rodents and are associated with hair loss, pruritus, and dermatitis. Here, we study the mechanisms of acid regulation of TRPV3 by using site-directed mutagenesis, fluorescent intracellular calcium measurement, and whole-cell patch-clamp recording techniques. We show that, whereas extracellular acid inhibits agonist-induced TRPV3 activation through an aspartate residue (D641) in the selectivity filter, intracellular protons sensitize the channel through cytoplasmic C-terminal glutamate and aspartate residues (E682, E689, and D727). Neutralization of the three C-terminal residues presensitizes the channel to agonist stimulation. Molecular dynamic simulations revealed that charge neutralization of the three C-terminal residues stabilized the sensitized channel conformation and enhanced the probability of α-helix formation in the linker between the S6 transmembrane segment and TRP domain. We conclude that acid inhibits TRPV3 function from the extracellular side but facilitates it from the intracellular side. These novel mechanisms of TRPV3 proton sensing can offer new insights into the role of TRPV3 in the regulation of epidermal barrier permeability and skin disorders under conditions of tissue acidosis.

Abstract
Importance Olmsted syndrome is a genodermatosis characterized by painful and mutilating palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) that progresses from infancy onward and lacks an effective treatment. It is most often caused by mutations in the transient receptor potential vanilloid 3 (TRPV3) gene. In animal models and keratinocyte cell lines, TRPV3 signaling leads to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) transactivation. Objective To examine the possibility of blocking EGFR transactivation with the inhibitor erlotinib hydrochloride to treat PPK in patients with Olmsted syndrome due to TRPV3 mutations. Design, Setting, and Participants In this case series, 3 patients from 2 unrelated families who had TRPV3-mutation-associated PPK were treated with erlotinib from May 5, 2018, through May 13, 2019. Main Outcomes and Measures Clinical follow-up included evaluation of PPK progression, pain and interventions for pain, as well as erlotinib dose adjustment based on treatment effect, plasma levels, and tolerance. Results The 3 patients (2 brothers aged 15 and 17 years and a 13-year-old girl) had severe palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, intolerable pain with erythromelalgia, severe growth delay, anorexia, and insomnia, which had been progressing since infancy despite numerous therapies. Two patients were confined to wheelchairs owing to intense pain and joint restrictions because of hyperkeratosis. All patients experienced depression and did not engage in social activities. Within 3 months of initiating therapy with erlotinib, hyperkeratosis and pain disappeared. All patients were able to touch the ground with their feet, wear shoes, and walk. Anorexia and insomnia remitted and paralleled improved growth. In addition, the patients resumed social activities. These improvements were sustained across 12 months of treatment and follow-up. The doses of erlotinib used were lower than those used in oncology, and only mild to moderate adverse effects were noted. Conclusions and Relevance The findings of this study report improvement of PPK in patients with Olmsted syndrome caused by TRPV3 mutations when treated with erlotinib. Targeting EGFR transactivation with erlotinib therapy may result in clinical remission in an orphan disease that lacks an effective intervention.

Abstract
Importance Olmsted syndrome is a rare and disabling genodermatosis for which no successful treatment is currently available. Objective To evaluate the clinical response to the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor sirolimus and/or the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor erlotinib among patients with Olmsted syndrome. Design, Setting, and Participants This case series focused on 4 children with treatment-refractory Olmsted syndrome. These children received treatments (initiated in 2017 and 2018) at the outpatient dermatology clinic at the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Children's National Hospital in Washington, DC; and Hospital Infantil Pequeno Príncipe, Curitiba in Paraná, Brazil. Exposures Immunohistochemical analyses for mTOR and EGFR activation were performed on skin biopsy specimens from 2 patients. Oral sirolimus was administered to these 2 patients at a dosage of 0.8 mg/m2 twice daily, titrated to a goal trough whole-blood concentration of 10 to 15 ng/mL. Erlotinib was administered to all 4 patients at a dosage of 2 mg/kg/d. Main Outcomes and Measures Clinical responses were assessed with visual analog scales for pruritus and pain and/or the Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index. Adverse effects were monitored throughout treatment. Results Four patients (mean [SD] age, 7 [6] years; 2 boys and 2 girls) were analyzed. Lesional skin immunostaining showed increased phosphorylated ribosomal protein S6 (RPS6) and phosphorylated EGFR staining in the epidermis, indicating enhanced mTOR and EGFR signaling activation. Patients 1 and 2 were initially treated with sirolimus, displaying substantial clinical improvement in erythema and periorificial hyperkeratosis afterward. When switched to erlotinib, these patients showed substantial palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) improvement. Patients 3 and 4 were treated with erlotinib only and later showed rapid and near complete resolution of PPK and substantial improvement in Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index scores. All 4 patients had sustained improvements in pruritus and pain. No severe adverse effects were reported. Conclusions and Relevance This study's findings suggest that the EGFR-mTOR cascade may play a substantial role in the pathophysiological process of Olmsted syndrome and may serve as a major therapeutic target. Oral sirolimus and erlotinib may be a promising, life-altering treatment for pediatric patients with Olmsted syndrome.

Cell Calcium 2020; 92:102310.

Abstract
TRPV3 is a Ca2+-permeable cation channel, prominently expressed by keratinocytes where it contributes to maintaining the skin barrier, skin regeneration, and keratinocyte differentiation. However, much less is known about its physiological function in other tissues and there is still a need for identifying novel and efficient TRPV3 channel blockers. By screening a compound library, we identified 26E01 as a novel TRPV3 blocker. 26E01 blocks heterologously expressed TRPV3 channels overexpressed in HEK293 cells as assessed by fluorometric intracellular free Ca2+ assays (IC50 = 8.6 μM) but does not affect TRPV1, TRPV2 or TRPV4 channels. Electrophysiological whole-cell recordings confirmed the reversible block of TRPV3 currents by 26E01, which was also effective in excised inside-out patches, hinting to a rather direct mode of action. 26E01 suppresses endogenous TRPV3 currents in the mouse 308 keratinocyte cell line and in the human DLD-1 colon carcinoma cell line (IC50 = 12 μM). In sections of the gastrointestinal epithelium of mice, the expression of TRPV3 mRNA follows a gradient along the gastrointestinal tract, with the highest expression in the distal colon. 26E01 efficiently attenuates 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate-induced calcium influx in primary colonic epithelial cells isolated from the distal colon. As 26E01 neither shows toxic effects on DLD-1 cells at concentrations of up to 100 μM in MTT assays nor on mouse primary colonic crypts as assessed by calcein-AM/propidium iodide co-staining, it may serve as a useful tool to further study the physiological function of TRPV3 in various tissues.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Thermo transient receptor potential (thermoTRP) channels are some of the most intensely pursued therapeutic targets of the past decade. They are considered promising targets of numerous diseases including chronic pain and cancer. Modulators of these proteins, in particular TRPV1-4, TRPM8 and TRPA1, have reached clinical development, but none has been approved for clinical practice yet. AREAS COVERED The therapeutic potential of targeting thermoTRP channels is discussed. The discussion is centered on our experience and on available data found in SciFinder, PubMed, and ClinicalTrials.gov database from the past decade. This review focuses on the therapeutic progress concerning this family of channels, including strategies to improve their therapeutic index for overcoming adverse effects. EXPERT OPINION Although thermoTRPs are pivotal drug targets, translation to the clinic has faced two key problems, (i) unforeseen side effects in Phase I trials and, (ii) poor clinical efficacy in Phase II trials. Thus, there is a need for (i) an enhanced understanding of the physiological role of these channels in tissues and organs and (ii) the development of human-based pre-clinical models with higher clinical translation. Furthermore, progress in nanotechnology-based delivery strategies will positively impact thermoTRP human pharmacology.

Abstract
Head-and-neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) remain a leading cause of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide. This is a largely preventable disease with smoking, alcohol abuse, and human papilloma virus (HPV) being the main risk factors. Yet, many patients are diagnosed with advanced disease, and no survival improvement has been seen for oral SCC in the past decade. Clearly, new diagnostic and prognostic markers are needed for early diagnosis and to guide therapy. Gene expression studies implied the involvement of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in the pathogenesis of HNSCC. TRPs are expressed in normal epithelium where they play a key role in proliferation and differentiation. There is increasing evidence that the expression of TRP channels may change in HNSCC with important implications for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy. In this review, we propose that TRP channel expression may afford a novel opportunity for early diagnosis of HNSCC and targeted molecular treatment.

Abstract
The aging process is closely related to the organization of stem cells, and skin is thought to be one of the suitable models for its investigation. We have focused on the murine hair follicle to verify this idea because it shows typical aging phenotypes and is a self-renewing structure reconstituted by its own stem cells. However, how changes in the characteristics of the hair follicle and in the behavior of tissue stem cells in the natural hair cycle occur are not fully understood. We investigated the number, morphology and pigmentation of hair follicles in anagen phases during the aging process. In addition, stem cells for keratinocytes and melanocytes were examined to evaluate the correlation between changes in skin characteristics and the stem cells. The remarkable changes caused by aging appeared to be the significant increase in qualitative phenotypes such as curved hair follicles and white hair. A significant difference between the number of keratinocyte and melanocyte stem cells in the hair bulge region is likely to be involved in these changes. Our findings may be important for understanding the mechanisms of the actions of stem cells on hair regeneration and for clarifying the mechanisms of age-related phenotypes.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a disease characterized by relapsing eczema with pruritus as a primary lesion, which is frequently encountered in clinical practice. Skin barrier dysfunction leads to enhanced skin irritability to non-specific stimuli and epicutaneous sensitization. In the lesion site, a further inflammation-related reduction in skin barrier function, enhanced irritability and scratching-related stimuli deteriorate eczema, leading to vicious cycle of inflammation. The current strategies to treat AD in Japan from the perspective of evidence-based medicine consist of three primary measures: (i) the use of topical corticosteroids and tacrolimus ointment as the main treatment for the inflammation; (ii) topical application of emollients to treat the cutaneous barrier dysfunction; and (iii) avoidance of apparent exacerbating factors, psychological counseling and advice about daily life. The guidelines present recommendations to review clinical research articles, evaluate the balance between the advantages and disadvantages of medical activities, and optimize medical activity-related patient outcomes with respect to several important points requiring decision-making in clinical practice.

Abstract
M/Kv7 potassium channels play a key role in regulation of neuronal excitability. Modulation of neuronal excitability of primary sensory neurons determines the itch sensation induced by a variety of itch-causing substances including chloroquine (CQ). In the present study, we demonstrate that suppression of M/Kv7 channel activity contributes to generation of itch in mice. CQ enhances excitability of the primary sensory neurons through inhibiting M/Kv7 potassium currents in a Ca2+ influx-dependent manner. Specific M/Kv7 channel opener retigabine (RTG) or tannic acid (TA) not only reverses the CQ-induced enhancement of neuronal excitability but also suppresses the CQ-induced itch behavior. Systemic application of RTG or TA also significantly inhibits the itch behavior induced by a variety of pruritogens. Taken together, our findings provide novel insight into the molecular basis of CQ-induced itch sensation in mammals that can be applied to the development of strategies to mitigate itch behavior.

Abstract
The TRPV3 channel plays a critical role in skin physiology, and mutations in TRPV3 result in the development of a congenital skin disorder, Olmsted syndrome. Here we describe multiple cryo-electron microscopy structures of human TRPV3 reconstituted into lipid nanodiscs, representing distinct functional states during the gating cycle. The ligand-free, closed conformation reveals well-ordered lipids interacting with the channel and two physical constrictions along the ion conduction pore involving both the extracellular selectivity filter and intracellular helix bundle crossing. Both the selectivity filter and bundle crossing expand upon activation, accompanied by substantial structural rearrangements at the cytoplasmic inter-subunit interface. Transition to the inactivated state involves a secondary structure change of the pore-lining helix, which contains a π-helical segment in the closed and open conformations but becomes entirely α-helical upon inactivation. Together with electrophysiological characterization, structures of TRPV3 in a lipid membrane environment provide unique insights into channel activation and inactivation mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hair follicle telogen to anagen transition results in a break in cellular quiescence of the hair follicle stem cells, which subsequently promotes hair follicle regeneration. Many critical molecules and signalling pathways are involved in hair follicle cycle progression. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is a polymodal sensory transducer that regulates various cutaneous functions under both normal and disease conditions. However, the role of TRPV4 in hair follicle regeneration in vivo remains incompletely understood. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Using adult C57BL/6J mice, keratinocyte (K14Cre ; Trpv4f/f ) and macrophage (Cx3cr1Cre ; Trpv4f/f ) Trpv4 conditional knockout (cKO) mice, Trpv4-/- mice, we investigated the effect of a single intradermal injection of GSK1016790A, a potent and selective small molecule TRPV4 activator, on hair follicle regeneration. Chemical cues and signal molecules involved in hair follicle cycle progression were measured by immunofluorescence staining, quantitative RT-PCR and western blotting. KEY RESULTS Here, we show that a single intradermal injection of GSK1016790A is sufficient to induce telogen to anagen transition and hair follicle regeneration in mice by increasing the expression of the anagen-promoting growth factors and down-regulating the expression of growth factors that inhibit anagen. The action of GSK1016790A relies largely on the function of TRPV4 in skin and involves activation of downstream ERK signalling. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Our results suggest that transient chemical activation of TRPV4 in the skin induces hair follicle regeneration in mice, which might provide an effective therapeutic strategy for the treatment of hair loss and alopecia.

Abstract
Allergy refers to an abnormal adaptive immune response to non-infectious environmental substances (allergen) that can induce various diseases such as asthma, atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis. In this allergic inflammation, various immune cells, such as B cells, T cells, and mast cells, are involved and undergo complex interactions that cause a variety of pathophysiological conditions. In immune cells, calcium ions play a crucial role in controlling intracellular Ca2+ signaling pathways. Cations, such as Na+, indirectly modulate the calcium signal generation by regulating cell membrane potential. This intracellular Ca2+ signaling is mediated by various cation channels; among them, the Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) family is present in almost all immune cell types, and each channel has a unique function in regulating Ca2+ signals. In this review, we focus on the role of TRP ion channels in allergic inflammatory responses in T cells and mast cells. In addition, the TRP ion channels, which are attracting attention in clinical practice in relation to allergic diseases, and the current status of the development of therapeutic agents that target TRP channels are discussed.

Abstract
Bioassay-guided fractionation of the ethanol extract of whole herbs of Achilleaalpina led to the isolation of isochlorogenic acids A and B as transient receptor potential vanilloid 3 (TRPV3) channel antagonists by using a calcium fluorescent assay. The structures were identified by spectroscopic analysis and the inhibitory activities of isochlorogenic acids A and B were confirmed by whole-cell patch clamp recordings of human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells expressing human TRPV3. Molecular docking results revealed that these two compounds reside in the same active pocket of human TRPV3 channel protein with lower binding energy than the agonist 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB). High-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) coupled with a liquid-liquid extraction approach was successfully established for the separation of isochlorogenic acids A and B from the whole herbs of A. alpina. Ethyl acetate and n-hexane-ethyl acetate-water (3:3:4 and 1:5:4, v/v/v) were selected as liquid-liquid extraction solvent systems to remove high- and low-polarity impurities in the mixture. Sixty g of ethanol extract was refined by solvent partition to yield 1.7 g of the enriched fraction, of which 480 mg in turn obtained 52.5 mg of isochlorogenic acid B (purity 98.3%) and 37.6 mg isochlorogenic acid A (purity 96.2%) after HSCCC with n-hexane-ethyl acetate-water containing 1% acetic acid (1:4:8, v/v/v).

Abstract
Itch in atopic dermatitis (AD) is aggravated under warm conditions. Transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) 3, a member of the thermosensitive transient receptor potential channels, is activated by innocuous heat and is abundantly expressed in keratinocytes. The potential role of TRPV3 in itch is illustrated in TRPV3 channelopathies of humans and mice. However, the role of TRPV3 in heat-induced itch in AD and the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here we showed that keratinocytes isolated from patients with AD exhibit enhanced expression and heat sensitivity with hyperactive channel function of TRPV3. Heat stimulus induced enhanced secretion of thymic stromal lymphopoietin, nerve growth factor, and prostaglandin E2 by keratinocytes from patients with AD through TRPV3 activation. TRPV3 agonists increased thymic stromal lymphopoietin, nerve growth factor, prostaglandin E2, and IL-33 production in human keratinocytes and induced scratching behavior upon intradermal injection in mice. TRPV3 was upregulated in the skin of MC903-induced AD mouse model. Heat stimulation to MC903-treated mice increased scratching behavior and produced higher levels of thymic stromal lymphopoietin, nerve growth factor, prostaglandin E2, and IL-33 from the epidermis, which were attenuated by pharmacologic inhibition of TRPV3. Moreover, neutralization of thymic stromal lymphopoietin reduced heat-evoked scratching in MC903-challenged mice. These results suggest that TRPV3 is a potential therapeutic target for heat-induced itch in AD.

Abstract
Bovine colostrum, the first milk secreted by the mammary glands of cows shortly after they have given birth, provides a natural source of bioactive substances helpful to promote tissue development and repair, and to maintain a healthy immune system. Owing to its properties, the use of colostrum in the treatment of human diseases is under investigation. We evaluated the biological activity of colostrum on human primary keratinocytes, focusing on its effects with regard to a proliferation/differentiation balance. Using cellular and molecular approaches, we showed that colostrum favors a cell cycle withdrawal by increasing the expression of p21/WAF1 and p27/KIP1. It also promotes the transition of keratinocytes from a proliferating to a differentiating state, as assessed by a decrease in keratin 5 and an increase in keratin 16. We demonstrated the ability of colostrum to induce the expression of early and late differentiation markers (keratin 1, involucrin, and filaggrin) and the synthesis of caspase 14 and bleomycin hydrolase, the two main enzymes involved in filaggrin maturation. Moreover, we showed that bovine colostrum is able to promote keratinocyte stratification and terminal differentiation not only in two-dimensional (2D), but also in a more physiological system of three-dimensional (3D) skin equivalents. Finally, we demonstrated that colostrum stimulates cell differentiation through the PI3K/PLC-γ1/PKCα pathways mainly associated to tyrosine kinase receptors. These results suggest the possibility to benefit from colostrum properties for the treatment of skin diseases characterized by altered differentiation and perturbed barrier function.

[PMID: 32097818 DOI: 10.1016/j.ceca.2020.102181] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2019] [Revised: 02/11/2020] [Accepted: 02/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Prior to maturation, mouse oocytes are arrested at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage during which they experience constitutive calcium (Ca2+) influx and spontaneous Ca2+ oscillations. The oscillations cease during maturation but Ca2+ influx continues, as the oocytes' internal stores attain maximal content at the culmination of maturation, the metaphase II stage. The identity of the channel(s) that underlie this Ca2+ influx has not been completely determined. GV and matured oocytes are known to express three Ca2+ channels, CaV3.2, TRPV3 and TRPM7, but females null for each of these channels are fertile and their oocytes display minor modifications in Ca2+ homeostasis, suggesting a complex regulation of Ca2+ influx. To define the contribution of these channels at the GV stage, we used different divalent cations, pharmacological inhibitors and genetic models. We found that the three channels are active at this stage. CaV3.2 and TRPM7 channels contributed the majority of Ca2+ influx, as inhibitors and oocytes from homologous knockout (KO) lines showed severely reduced Ca2+ entry. Sr2+ influx was promoted by CaV3.2 channels, as Sr2+ oscillations were negligible in CaV3.2-KO oocytes but robust in control and Trpv3-KO GV oocytes. Mn2+ entry relied on expression of CaV3.2 and TRPM7 channels, but Ni2+ entry depended on the latter. CaV3.2 and TRPV3 channels combined to fill the Ca2+ stores, although CaV3.2 was the most impactful. Studies with pharmacological inhibitors effectively blocked the influx of divalent cations, but displayed off-target effects, and occasionally agonist-like properties. In conclusion, GV oocytes express channels mediating Ca2+ and other divalent cation influx that are pivotal for fertilization and early development. These channels may serve as targets for intervention to improve the success of assisted reproductive technologies.

Integrated Analysis of Methylome and Transcriptome Changes Reveals the Underlying Regulatory Signatures Driving Curly Wool Transformation in Chinese Zhongwei Goats. Front Genet 2020; 10:1263. [PMID: 31969898 PMCID: PMC6960231 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2019.01263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2019] [Accepted: 11/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
The Zhongwei goat is kept primarily for its beautiful white, curly pelt that appears when the kid is approximately 1 month old; however, this representative phenotype often changes to a less curly phenotype during postnatal development in a process that may be mediated by multiple molecular signals. DNA methylation plays important roles in mammalian cellular processes and is essential for the initiation of hair follicle (HF) development. Here, we sought to investigate the effects of genome-wide DNA methylation by combining expression profiles of the underlying curly fleece dynamics. Genome-wide DNA methylation maps and transcriptomes of skin tissues collected from 45- to 108-day-old goats were used for whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) and RNA sequencing, respectively. Between the two developmental stages, 1,250 of 3,379 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were annotated in differentially methylated genes (DMGs), and these regions were mainly related to intercellular communication and the cytoskeleton. Integrated analysis of the methylome and transcriptome data led to the identification of 14 overlapping genes that encode crucial factors for wool fiber development through epigenetic mechanisms. Furthermore, a functional study using human hair inner root sheath cells (HHIRSCs) revealed that, one of the overlapping genes, platelet-derived growth factor C (PDGFC) had a significant effect on the messenger RNA expression of several key HF-related genes that promote cell migration and proliferation. Our study presents an unprecedented analysis that was used to explore the enigma of fleece morphological changes by combining methylome maps and transcriptional expression, and these data revealed stage-specific epigenetic changes that potentially affect fiber development. Furthermore, our functional study highlights a possible role for the overlapping gene PDGFC in HF cell growth, which may be a predictable biomarker for fur goat selection.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential cation channel, vanilloid type (TRPV) 3, is a member of the TRPV subfamily that is expressed predominantly in the skin, hair follicles, and gastrointestinal tract. It is also distributed in the organ of Corti of the inner ear and colocalizes with TRPV1 or TRPV4, but its role in auditory function is unknown. In the present study, we demonstrate that TRPV3 is expressed in inner hair cells (HCs) but mainly in cochlear outer HCs in mice, with expression limited to the cytoplasm and not detected in stereocilia. We compared the number of HCs as well as distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) and auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds between TRPV3 knockout (V3KO) and wild-type (V3WT) mice and found that although most mutants (72.3%) had normal hearing, a significant proportion (27.7%) showed impaired hearing associated with loss of cochlear HCs. Compensatory upregulation of TRPV4 in HCs prevented HC damage and kanamycin-induced hearing loss and preserved normal auditory function in most of these mice. Thus, TRPV4 and TRPV3 in cochlear HCs protect hearing in mice; moreover, the results suggest some functional redundancy in the functions of TRPV family members. Our findings provide novel insight into the molecular basis of auditory function in mammals that can be applied to the development of strategies to mitigate hearing loss.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a disease characterized by relapsing eczema with pruritus as a primary lesion. The current strategies to treat AD in Japan from the perspective of evidence-based medicine consist of three primary measures: (i) the use of topical corticosteroids and tacrolimus ointment as the main treatment for the inflammation; (ii) topical application of emollients to treat the cutaneous barrier dysfunction; and (iii) avoidance of apparent exacerbating factors, psychological counseling and advice about daily life. The guidelines present recommendations to review clinical research articles, evaluate the balance between the advantages and disadvantages of medical activities, and optimize medical activity-related patient outcomes with respect to several important points requiring decision-making in clinical practice.

Abstract
TRPV3, a member of the thermosensitive Ca2+-permeable TRPV channel subfamily expressed in skin and sensory nerves, is also activated by chemical agonists such as 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate (2-APB). Repetitive stimuli induce sensitization of TRPV3 activation, characterized by the cumulative increase in current amplitude and linearization of current-voltage relation (I/V curve). Through genomic analysis of various populations, we found non-rare TRPV3 mutation (p.A628T) in East Asian people with an allele frequency of 0.249 while 0.007 in Caucasian. Slope conductance of unitary channel was not different between WT and p.A628T. Whole-cell patch clamp study of wildtype TRPV3 (WT) and p.A628T overexpressed in HEK293T cells showed similar sensitization by the repetitive increase in temperature from 23 to 37 °C, while slightly higher sensitization to 43 °C in p.A628T. In contrast, the repetitive application of 2-APB (10 μM) or carvacrol (100 μM) induced faster sensitization in p.A628T than WT. However, 1 μM farnesyl pyrophosphate, an intrinsic lipid metabolite agonist, induced similar level of slow activations in WT and p.A628T. In Fura-2 microspectrofluorimetry, the 2-APB pulses induced a faster increase of [Ca2+]c in p.A628T than WT. In terms of ionic selectivity of channels, WT and p.A628T showed similar Ca2+ permeability (PCa/PNa) calculated from the reversal potential of I/V curves. Taken together, p.A628T shows faster sensitization to chemical agonists that are reflected as higher [Ca2+]c signaling. Based on the intriguing pharmacological sensitivity, the physiological implications of p.A628T in the East Asian population require further investigation.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 1 (TRPV1), a member of the transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) channel family, is a nonselective cation channel that is widely expressed in sensory nerve fibers and nonneuronal cells, including certain vascular endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. The activation of TRPV1 may be involved in the regulation of various physiological functions, such as the release of inflammatory mediators in the body, gastrointestinal motility function, and temperature regulation. In recent years, a large number of studies have revealed that TRPV1 plays an important role in the physiological and pathological conditions of the digestive system, cardiovascular system, and respiratory system, but there is no systematic report on TRPV1. The objective of this review is to explain the function and effects of TRPV1 on specific diseases, such as irritable bowel syndrome, hypertension, and asthma, and to further investigate the intrinsic relationship between the expression and function of TRPV1 in those diseases to find new therapeutic targets for the cure of related diseases.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is a multifactorial disease associated with a combination of and environmental factors. Each year, one million new gastric cancer cases are diagnosed worldwide and two-thirds end up losing the battle with this devastating disease. Currently, surgery represents the only effective treatment option for patients with early stage tumors. However, the asymptomatic phenotype of this disease during the early stages poses as a significant limiting factor to diagnosis and often renders treatments ineffective. To address these issues, scientists are focusing on personalized medicine and discovering new ways to treat cancer patients. Emerging therapeutic options include the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. Since their discovery, TRP channels have been shown to contribute significantly to the pathophysiology of various cancers, including gastric cancer. This review will summarize the current knowledge about gastric cancer and provide a synopsis of recent advancements on the role and involvement of TRP channels in gastric cancer as well as a discussion of the benefits of targeting TPR channel in the clinical management of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy is a common pathological change frequently accompanied by chronic hypertension and myocardial infarction. Nevertheless, the pathophysiological mechanisms of cardiac hypertrophy have never been elucidated. Recent studies indicated that miR-103 expression was significantly decreased in heart failure patients. However, less is known about the role of miR-103 in cardiac hypertrophy. The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between miR-103 and the mechanism of pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy. TRPV3 protein, cardiac hypertrophy marker proteins (BNP and β-MHC) and autophagy associated proteins (Beclin-1 and LC3-II) were up-regulated, as well as, miR-103 expression and autophagy associated proteins (p62) were down-regulated in cardiac hypertrophy models in vivo and in vitro respectively. Further results indicated that silencing TRPV3 or forcing overexpression of miR-103 could dramatically inhibit cell surface area, relative fluorescence intensity of Ca2+ signal and the expressions of BNP, β-MHC, Beclin-1 and LC3-II, but promote p62 expression. Moreover, TRPV3 protein was decreased in neonatal rat ventricular myocyte transfected with miR-103, but increased by AMO-103. Co-transfection of the miR-103 with the luciferase reporter vector into HEK293 cells caused a sharp decrease in luciferase activity compared with transfection of the luciferase vector alone. The miR-103-induced depression of luciferase activity was rescued by an AMO-103. These findings suggested that TRPV3 was a direct target of miR-103. In conclusion, miR-103 could attenuate cardiomyocyte hypertrophy partly by reducing cardiac autophagy activity through the targeted inhibition of TRPV3 signalling in the pressure-overloaded rat hearts.

Mechanism for Regulation of Melanoma Cell Death via Activation of Thermo-TRPV4 and TRPV2. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2019; 2019:7362875. [PMID: 30881453 PMCID: PMC6383420 DOI: 10.1155/2019/7362875] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2018] [Revised: 09/30/2018] [Accepted: 12/27/2018] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Background Thermo-TRPs (temperature-sensitive transient receptor potential channels) belong to the TRP (transient receptor potential) channel superfamily. Emerging evidence implied that thermo-TRPs have been involved in regulation of cell fate in certain tumors. However, their distribution profiles and roles in melanoma remain incompletely understood. Methods Western blot and digital PCR approaches were performed to identify the distribution profiles of six thermo-TRPs. MTT assessment was employed to detect cell viability. Flow cytometry was applied to test cell cycle and apoptosis. Calcium imaging was used to determine the function of channels. Five cell lines, including one normal human primary epidermal melanocytes and two human malignant melanoma (A375, G361) and two human metastatic melanoma (A2058, SK-MEL-3) cell lines, were chosen for this research. Results In the present study, six thermo-TRPs including TRPV1/2/3/4, TRPA1, and TRPM8 were examined in human primary melanocytes and melanoma cells. We found that TRPV2/4, TRPA1, and TRPM8 exhibited ectopic distribution both in melanocytes and melanoma cells. Moreover, activation of TRPV2 and TRPV4 could lead to the decline of cell viability for melanoma A2058 and A375 cells. Subsequently, activation of TRPV2 by 2-APB (IC50 = 150 μM) induced cell necrosis in A2058 cells, while activation of TRPV4 by GSK1016790A (IC50 = 10 nM) enhanced apoptosis of A375 cells. Furthermore, TRPV4 mediated cell apoptosis of melanoma via phosphorylation of AKT and was involved in calcium regulation. Conclusion Overall, our studies revealed that TRPV4 and TRPV2 mediated melanoma cell death via channel activation and characterized the mechanism of functional TRPV4 ion channel in regulating AKT pathway driven antitumor process. Thus, they may serve as potential biomarkers for the prognosis and are targeted for the therapeutic use in human melanoma.

Zhang F, Swartz KJ, Jara-Oseguera A. Conserved allosteric pathways for activation of TRPV3 revealed through engineering vanilloid-sensitivity. eLife 2019; 8:42756. [PMID: 30644819 PMCID: PMC6333442 DOI: 10.7554/elife.42756] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2018] [Accepted: 01/02/2019] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV) channel is activated by an array of stimuli, including heat and vanilloid compounds. The TRPV1 homologues TRPV2 and TRPV3 are also activated by heat, but sensitivity to vanilloids and many other agonists is not conserved among TRPV subfamily members. It was recently discovered that four mutations in TRPV2 are sufficient to render the channel sensitive to the TRPV1-specific vanilloid agonist resiniferatoxin (RTx). Here, we show that mutation of six residues in TRPV3 corresponding to the vanilloid site in TRPV1 is sufficient to engineer RTx binding. However, robust activation of TRPV3 by RTx requires facilitation of channel opening by introducing mutations in the pore, temperatures > 30°C, or sensitization with another agonist. Our results demonstrate that the energetics of channel activation can determine the apparent sensitivity to a stimulus and suggest that allosteric pathways for activation are conserved in the TRPV family.

Abstract
Fibroblastic and myofibroblastic tumors comprise a morphologically diverse and biologically variable group of neoplasms that affect a wide age range. Specific entities tend to occur most frequently in infants and young children. Recent years have witnessed a proliferation of information concerning the unique biology of these tumors. In this report, I will review recent findings that serve to further characterize this group of neoplasms. Included will be newer information on fibrous hamartoma of infancy, infantile myofibromatosis, lipofibromatosis, and infantile fibrosarcoma and tumors resembling it, including primitive myxoid mesenchymal tumor of infancy and new genetic entities. I will also discuss the differential diagnosis, which includes spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, and calcifying aponeurotic fibroma.
