Abstract
Diabetes is a significant public health issue known as the world's fastest-growing disease condition. It is characterized by persistent hyperglycemia and subsequent chronic complications leading to organ dysfunction and, ultimately, the failure of target organs. Substance P (SP) is an undecapeptide that belongs to the family of tachykinin (TK) peptides. The SP-mediated activation of the neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) regulates many pathophysiological processes in the body. There is also a relation between the SP/NK1R system and diabetic processes. Importantly, deregulated expression of SP has been reported in diabetes and diabetes-associated chronic complications. SP can induce both diabetogenic and antidiabetogenic effects and thus affect the pathology of diabetes destructively or protectively. Here, we review the current knowledge of the functional relevance of the SP/NK1R system in diabetes pathogenesis and its exploitation for diabetes therapy. A comprehensive understanding of the role of the SP/NK1R system in diabetes is expected to shed further light on developing new therapeutic possibilities for diabetes and its associated chronic conditions.

Abstract
METHODS The databases Pubmed, and the National Library of Medicine were searched for literature. All papers on celebral stroke and transient receptor potential ion channels were considered. RESULTS Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability, with an increasing incidence in developing countries. About 75 per cent of strokes are caused by occlusion of cerebral arteries, and substantial advances have been made in elucidating mechanisms how stroke affects the brain. Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels are calcium-permeable channels highly expressed in brain that drives Ca2+ entry into multiple cellular compartments. TRPC1/3/4/6, TRPV1/2/4, and TRPM2/4/7 channels have been implicated in stroke pathophysiology. CONCLUSIONS Although the precise mechanism of transient receptor potential ion channels in cerebral stroke is still unclear, it has the potential to be a therapeutic target for patients with stroke if developed appropriately. Hence, more research is needed to prove its efficacy in this context.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels are proteins that are expressed by diverse tissues and that play pivotal functions in physiology. These channels are polymodal and are activated by several stimuli. Among TRPs, some members of this family of channels respond to changes in ambient temperature and are known as thermoTRPs. These proteins respond to heat or cold in the noxious range and some of them to temperatures considered innocuous, as well as to mechanical, osmotic, and/or chemical stimuli. In addition to this already complex ability to respond to different signals, the activity of these ion channels can be fine-tuned by lipids. Two lipids well known to modulate ion channel activity are phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and cholesterol. These lipids can either influence the function of these proteins through direct interaction by binding to a site in the structure of the ion channel or through indirect mechanisms, which can include modifying membrane properties, such as curvature and rigidity, by regulating their expression or by modulating the actions of other molecules or signaling pathways that affect the physiology of ion channels. Here, we summarize the key aspects of the regulation of thermoTRP channels by PIP2 and cholesterol.

Abstract
Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder that affects approximately 12% of the population. The cause of migraine headaches is not yet known, however, when the trigeminal system is activated, neuropeptides such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP) are released, which cause neurogenic inflammation and sensitization. Advances in the understanding of migraine pathophysiology have identified new potential pharmacological targets. In recent years, transient receptor potential (TRP) channels have been the focus of attention in the pathophysiology of various pain disorders, including primary headaches. Genetic and pharmacological data suggest the role of TRP channels in pain sensation and the activation and sensitization of dural afferents. In addition, TRP channels are widely expressed in the trigeminal system and brain regions which are associated with the pathophysiology of migraine and furthermore, co-localize several neuropeptides that are implicated in the development of migraine attacks. Moreover, there are several migraine trigger agents known to activate TRP channels. Based on these, TRP channels have an essential role in migraine pain and associated symptoms, such as hyperalgesia and allodynia. In this review, we discuss the role of the certain TRP channels in migraine pathophysiology and their therapeutic applicability.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 4 (TRPV4) can function as an oncogene or tumor suppressor depending on the tumor types. However, little is known regarding the effect of TRPV4 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a highly prevalent malignancy in Southern China and Southeast Asia. We found that TRPV4 mRNA and protein levels were significantly upregulated in NPC tissues. In addition, activation of TRPV4 in NPC cell lines using GSK1016790A (100 nM) induced a Ca2+ influx, whereas pharmacological inhibition or gene knockdown of TRPV4 reduced the proliferation rates of NPC cells. TRPV4 knockdown also decreased the growth of tumor xenografts in vivo. Mechanistically, TRPV4-mediated tumorigenesis is dependent on the activation of Ca2+/calcineurin/calcineurin-nuclear factor of activated T cell 4 (NFAT4) signaling. Furthermore, NFAT4 protein level was overexpressed in NPC tissues and correlated positively with TRPV4. Taken together, TRPV4 promotes the malignant potential of NPC cells by activating NFAT4 signaling. Our findings highlight TRPV4-NFAT4 axis as a potential therapeutic target in NPC.

FISH AND SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY REPORTS 2022; 3:100064. [PMID: 36419610 PMCID: PMC9680104 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsirep.2022.100064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Revised: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
CgTRPV4 with typical structural characteristics was indentified from Crassostrea gigas. CgTRPV4 was located in both endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasmic membrane of oyster haemocytes. CgTRPV4 mRNA was ubiquitously expressed with the highest level in gill. The expression of CgTRPV4 mRNA was significantly up-regulated after high temperature stress at 30°C or V. splendidus stimulation.
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is one of the major non-selective cation channel proteins, which plays a crucial role in sensing biotic and abiotic stresses, such as pathogen infection, temperature, mechanical pressure and osmotic pressure changes by regulating Ca2+ homeostasis. In the present study, a TRPV4 homologue was identified in Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, designated as CgTRPV4. The open reading frame (ORF) of CgTRPV4 was of 2298 bp encoding a putative polypeptide of 765 amino acid residues with three typical ankyrin domains and six conserved transmembrane domains of TRPV4 subfamily proteins, as well as multiple N-glycosylation sites, cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation sites, protein kinase C phosphorylation sites, casein kinase II phosphorylation sites, and prokaryotic membrane lipoprotein lipid attachment site. The deduced amino acid sequence of CgTRPV4 shared 20.5%-26.2% similarity with TRPV4s from other species. During the early ontogenesis stages of oyster, the mRNA transcripts of CgTRPV4 were detectable in all the stages with the highest expression level in fertilized eggs and the lowest in D-hinged larvae. In adult oyster, the CgTRPV4 mRNA could be detected in all the examined tissues, including gill, hepatopancreas, adductor muscle, labial palp, mantle and haemocyte, with the highest expression level in gill (45.08-fold of that in hepatopancreas, p < 0.05). In immunocytochemical assay, the CgTRPV4 positive signals were distributed in both endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasmic membrane of oyster haemocytes. The mRNA expression of CgTRPV4 in gill was significantly up-regulated after high temperature stress at 30°C (p < 0.05) and after Vibrio splendidus stimulation (p < 0.05). These results indicated that CgTRPV4 was a classical member of TRPV4 family in oyster, which was induced by either biotic or abiotic stimulations and involved in mediating the stress response of oysters.

Ligustrazine mitigates chronic venous disease-induced pain hyperalgesia through desensitization of inflammation-associated TRPA1 activity in DRG. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 298:115667. [PMID: 36030028 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2022.115667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Ligustrazine, an important active ingredient extracted from Ligusticum chuanxiong hort, has been widely used to cure cardiovascular diseases and exerts an analgesic effect. AIMS OF THIS STUDY The aim of this study is to investigate whether ligustrazine mitigates chronic venous disease (CVeD)-induced pain and to explore its underlying mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS A mouse model of CVeD was established by vein ligature. Ligustrazine was administered intraperitoneally to CVeD mice for a single injection (20 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, and 200 mg/kg) or once a day for three weeks (100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg), and TRPA1 overexpressed HEK 293 cells were treated with ligustrazine (600 μM) in the presence of mustard oil (100 μM) for 2 min. Patch clamp and calcium imaging were used to measure the inhibitory response of ligustrazine on DRG neurons and TRPA1 transfected HEK293 cells. RESULTS The present results showed that mice receiving vein ligature surgery exhibited obvious pain hypersensitivity to mechanical, cold and thermal stimuli, whereas ligustrazine significantly reversed the pain hyperalgesia in CVeD mice. Furthermore, ligustrazine desensitized transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) activity in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, resulting in suppressing the DRG neuronal excitability in the CVeD mice. However, ligustrazine could not directly inhibit the response of TRPA1 transfected HEK293 cells to mustard oil. Strikingly, ligustrazine restricted the macrophage infiltration and decreased the mRNA levels of Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) in the DRG neurons of the CVeD mice. CONCLUSIONS The present study provided evidence that ligustrazine alleviated pain hypersensitivity to mechanical, cold and thermal stimuli in CVeD mice. Ligustrazine could weaken the activity of TRPA1 in the DRG to mitigate CVeD-induced pain hyperalgesia mainly through inhibition of inflammation. Our findings identify that ligustrazine may be a new therapeutic agent for the treatment of CVeD-induced pain.

Abstract
The taste of a herb influences its use in traditional medicine. A molecular basis for the taste-based patterns ruling the distribution of herbal (ethno) pharmacological activities may not be excluded. This study investigated the potential correlations between the anti-inflammatory activity (AIA) and the phytocompound taste and/or its chemical class. The study relies on information gathered by an extensive literature (articles, books, databases) search and made public as PlantMolecularTasteDB. Out of a total of 1527 phytotastants with reliably documented taste and structure available in PlantMolecularTasteDB, 592 (for each of which at least 40 hits were found on PubMed searches) were included in the statistical analysis. A list of 1836 putative molecular targets of these phytotastants was afterwards generated with SwissTargetPrediction tool. These targets were systematically evaluated for their potential role in inflammation using an international databases search. The correlations between phytochemical taste and AIA, between chemical class and AIA, and between the taste and the number of inflammation related targets were statistically analyzed. Phytochemical taste may be a better predictor of AIA than the chemical class. Bitter phytocompounds have a higher probability of exerting AIA when compared with otherwise phytotastants. Moreover, bitter phytotastants act upon more inflammation related targets than non-bitter tasting compounds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor 2 (TRPV2) has been found to participate in the pathogenesis of various types of cancers, however, its role(s) in the tumorigenesis of ESCC remain poorly understood. METHODS Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were performed to determine the expression profiles of TRPV2 in the ESCC patient tissues. A series of in vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to reveal the role of TRPV2 in the tumorigenesis of ESCC. RESULTS Our study first uncovered that the activation of TRPV2 by recurrent acute thermal stress (54 °C) or O1821 (20 μM) promoted cancerous behaviours in ESCC cells. The pro-angiogenic capacity of the ESCC cells was found to be enhanced profoundly and both tumour formation and metastasis that originated from the cells were substantially promoted in nude mouse models upon the activation of TRPV2. These effects were inhibited significantly by tranilast (120 μM) and abolished by TRPV2 knockout. Conversely, overexpression of TRPV2 could switch the cells to tumorigenesis upon activation of TRPV2. Mechanistically, the driving role of TRPV2 in the progression of ESCC is mainly regulated by the HSP70/27 and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling pathways. CONCLUSIONS We revealed that TRPV2-PI3K/Akt/mTOR is a novel and promising target for the prevention and treatment of ESCC.

Abstract
Mechanosensitive cation channels and Ca2+ influx through these channels play an important role in the regulation of endothelial cell functions. Transient receptor potential canonical channel 6 (TRPC6) is a diacylglycerol-sensitive nonselective cation channel that forms receptor-operated Ca2+ channels in a variety of cell types. Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive cation channel activated by membrane stretch and shear stress in lung endothelial cells. In this study, we report that TRPC6 and Piezo1 channels both contribute to membrane stretch-mediated cation currents and Ca2+ influx or increase in cytosolic-free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) in human pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAECs). The membrane stretch-mediated cation currents and increase in [Ca2+]cyt in human PAECs were significantly decreased by GsMTX4, a blocker of Piezo1 channels, and by BI-749327, a selective blocker of TRPC6 channels. Extracellular application of 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG), a membrane permeable analog of diacylglycerol, rapidly induced whole cell cation currents and increased [Ca2+]cyt in human PAECs and human embryonic kidney (HEK)-cells transiently transfected with the human TRPC6 gene. Furthermore, membrane stretch with hypo-osmotic or hypotonic solution enhances the cation currents in TRPC6-transfected HEK cells. In HEK cells transfected with the Piezo1 gene, however, OAG had little effect on the cation currents, but membrane stretch significantly enhanced the cation currents. These data indicate that, while both TRPC6 and Piezo1 are involved in generating mechanosensitive cation currents and increases in [Ca2+]cyt in human PAECs undergoing mechanical stimulation, only TRPC6 (but not Piezo1) is sensitive to the second messenger diacylglycerol. Selective blockers of these channels may help develop novel therapies for mechanotransduction-associated pulmonary vascular remodeling in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Silencing TRPM2 enhanced erastin- and RSL3-induced ferroptosis in gastric cancer cells through destabilizing HIF-1α and Nrf2 proteins. Cytotechnology 2022; 74:559-577. [PMID: 36238268 PMCID: PMC9525503 DOI: 10.1007/s10616-022-00545-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Ferroptosis is a regulated form of cell death driven by small molecules or conditions that induce lipid-based reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. Cation channel transient receptor potential melastatin-2 (TRPM2) is crucial for cancer cell survival. Our bioinformatic analysis revealed that TRPM2 is associated with cellular responses to chemical stimulus and oxidative stress, implying the potential role of TRPM2 in ferroptosis. Gastric cancer cells were treated with the ferroptosis-inducer, Erastin and RSL3. siRNA transfection was used to silence TRPM2. The levels of GSH, Fe2+, ROS and lipid peroxidation, and the activity of GPx activity were evaluated by flow cytometry and spectrophotometer. The effect of TRPM2 on ubiquitination of HIF-1α and Nrf2 were evaluated by co-immunoprecipitation. Erastin and RSL3 induced the up-regulation of TRPM2 in gastric cancer cell lines, especially in SGC7901 and MGC803. These two cells also showed stronger resistance to Erastin and RSL3 than the other cell lines. TRPM2 knockdown reduced the concentration of GSH and GPx activity, but enhanced the concentration of Fe2+, ROS and lipid peroxidation, which are significant indicators of ferroptosis. Importantly, silencing TRPM2 enhanced the inhibitory effects of Erastin and RSL3 on gastric cancer cell viability, migration, and invasion. TRPM2 stabilized and finally elevated the abundance of HIF-1α and Nrf2 in SGC7901 and MGC803 cells upon Erastin and RSL3. Activation of HIF-1α impaired Erastin- and RSL3-induced ferroptosis after TRPM2 knockdown. Collectively, silencing TRPM2 enhanced Erastin- and RSL3-induced ferroptosis in gastric cancer cells through destabilizing HIF-1α and Nrf2 proteins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thermoreceptors include TRPV1 and TRPM8. TRPV1 and TRPM8 are TRP channels. TRP ion channels are widely expressed in many different tissues and cell types, and are involved in different physiological processes. Research on the structure and basic physiological functions of TRPV1 is relatively perfect, and the relationship between the pathogenesis of other members of the TRP family and specific diseases and TRPV1 remains to be explored in depth. METHODS Articles regarding TRP were culled from the Web of Science Core Collection, and knowledge maps were generated using the CiteSpace software. RESULTS In total, 19,862 articles were included. The number of published articles on this topic has rapidly increased since 2000, with more than 1000 articles published per year by 2020. MAKOTO TOMINAGA was the author with the most articles. The countries with the most articles were the United States and China. However, the number of articles in the U.S. was 3 times that in China. The organizations that publish the most articles are Harvard University in the US and Seoul Natl University in South Korea. TRP and the pathogenesis of diseases, such as neuropathy and stroke, are hotspots of current research. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the first study to provide an overview of the literature on TRP. Research on TRPs is developing rapidly.

Abstract
Neuropathic pain, caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory system, is common and distressing. In view of the high human and economic burden, more effective treatment strategies were urgently needed. Acupuncture has been increasingly used as an adjuvant or complementary therapy for neuropathic pain. Although the therapeutic effects of acupuncture have been demonstrated in various high-quality randomized controlled trials, there is significant heterogeneity in the underlying mechanisms. This review aimed to summarize the potential mechanisms of acupuncture on neuropathic pain based on the somatosensory system, and guided for future both foundational and clinical studies. Here, we argued that acupuncture may have the potential to inhibit neuronal activity caused by neuropathic pain, through reducing the activation of pain-related ion channels and suppressing glial cells (including microglia and astrocytes) to release inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, amongst others. Meanwhile, acupuncture as a non-pharmacologic treatment, may have potential to activate descending pain control system via increasing the level of spinal or brain 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), norepinephrine (NE), and opioid peptides. And the types of endogenously opioid peptides was influenced by electroacupuncture-frequency. The cumulative evidence demonstrated that acupuncture provided an alternative or adjunctive therapy for neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Background Burns are among the major health challenges of all societies and more than any other trauma incur physical, mental, social, and economic burdens on the patient and society. This study was conducted to assess whether Recove® burn ointment is capable of alleviating the pain, preventing the formation of new blisters and controlling the microbial contamination of the wound. Methods We, therefore, compared its efficacy to nitrofurazone 0.2% cream. This randomized clinical trial was conducted on individuals who had two burn injuries in their body at the same time in the Motahari Burn Hospital, Tehran Province, from June to October 2016. Sampling was carried out with a non-random method using available samples. The intervention in experimental and control groups was Recove® and nitrofurazone, respectively. The effect of interventions on pain relief, the formation of new blisters and prevention of infection at the burn wound were evaluated. In our double-blind study, blindness was applied to the patients and the person evaluating the outcomes. Results Both Recove® and nitrofurazone interventions significantly alleviated pain (P < 0.01), but Recove ®showed more effectiveness (P=0.01). Similarly, in terms of new blister formation, the experimental group receiving Recove® showed less new blister formation over 24 hours after treatment compared to nitrofurazone group (P=0.03) and with respect to antimicrobial activity, there was no significant difference between Recove® and nitrofurazone (P=0.12). Conclusion Recove® was effective on pain reduction, prevention of new blisters formation as well as infection. Therefore, it seems that Recove® could be considered as a new and efficient treatment for burn.

Abstract
Bladder pain syndrome (BPS)/interstitial cystitis (IC) is a urologic, chronic pelvic pain syndrome characterized by pelvic pain, pressure, or discomfort with urinary symptoms. Symptom exacerbation (flare) is common with multiple, perceived triggers including stress. Multiple transient receptor potential (TRP) channels (TRPA1, TRPV1, TRPV4) expressed in the bladder have specific tissue distributions in the lower urinary tract (LUT) and are implicated in bladder disorders including overactive bladder (OAB) and BPS/IC. TRPV4 channels are strong candidates for mechanosensors in the urinary bladder and TRPV4 antagonists are promising therapeutic agents for OAB. In this perspective piece, we address the current knowledge of TRPV4 distribution and function in the LUT and its plasticity with injury or disease with an emphasis on BPS/IC. We review our studies that extend the knowledge of TRPV4 in urinary bladder function by focusing on (i) TRPV4 involvement in voiding dysfunction, pelvic pain, and non-voiding bladder contractions in NGF-OE mice; (ii) distention-induced luminal ATP release mechanisms and (iii) involvement of TRPV4 and vesicular release mechanisms. Finally, we review our lamina propria studies in postnatal rat studies that demonstrate: (i) the predominance of the TRPV4+ and PDGFRα+ lamina propria cellular network in early postnatal rats; (ii) the ability of exogenous mediators (i.e., ATP, TRPV4 agonist) to activate and increase the number of lamina propria cells exhibiting active Ca2+ events; and (iii) the ability of ATP and TRPV4 agonist to increase the rate of integrated Ca2+ activity corresponding to coupled lamina propria network events and the formation of propagating wavefronts.

Abstract
Nature frequently provides narrative biological motivation. This study reports on oxygen-induced auto-polymerization of dopamine on the surface of medical cotton fibers to develop super-hydrophobic surfaces. The versatile reactivity of polydopamine (PDA) surfactant was adopted to deposit silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on the surface of medical cotton. SEM micrographs demonstrated the uniform deposition of Ag NPs. The antimicrobial reactivity confirmed the potential of Ag-loaded PDA-cotton fiber to hinder the growth of some tested pathogenic microbes. Silver-loaded PDA-cotton fibers showed the most promising zone of inhibition (ZOI) against (33.5 mm), Candida tropicalis (30.2 mm), and Aspergillus niger (30.2 mm). In growth curve assay, after addition of silver-loaded PDA-cotton fibers, the O.D. were lower (0.365 nm), showing the repression impact on S. aureus. It was observed that the quantity of cellular protein discharged from S. aureus is directly proportional to the concentration of silver-loaded PDA-cotton fibers and found to be 159.68 μg/ml after the treatment with silver-loaded PDA-cotton fibers (2 cm × 2 cm), which proves the antibacterial characteristics of the synthesied silver-loaded PDA-cotton fibers. The obtained antimicrobial results gives solution in treating pathogenic microbes and the application of silver-loaded PDA-cotton fibers as wound dressing in biomedical and pharmaceutical fields.

Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a refractory autoimmune disease, whose typical pathology is the development of inflammation to ossification and ankylosis. Histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) is considered to be a key factor involved in inflammatory gene transduction, but its role in AS remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore the role and possible mechanism of HDAC1 in AS based on the Wnt-Smad pathway. Fibroblasts were isolated from hip synovial tissues of AS patients, adeno-associated virus (AAV) was used to regulate the expression of HDAC1, DKK-1 and SIS3 was used to inhibit Wnt and Smad, respectively. The expressions of Wnt-Smad pathway-related proteins were analyzed by WB, and the TRP ion channel proteins were analyzed by immunofluorescence and WB. The proliferation of AS fibroblasts was detected by CCK-8, the expression of inflammatory cytokines was detected by ELISA, and the effects of HDAC1 on osteogenic differentiation of AS fibroblasts were investigated by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, intracellular calcium concentration, mineralization and osteogenic proteins expressions. Results showed that HDAC1 significantly affected the protein expressions of the Wnt-Smad pathway in AS fibroblasts, and Wnt inhibitor DKK-1 and Smad3 inhibitor SIS3 could significantly reverse the effect of HDAC1 on the Wnt-Smad pathway. In addition, HDAC1 significantly activated the TRP ion channel and promoted the proliferation, inflammatory response and osteogenic differentiation of AS fibroblasts. DKK-1 or SIS3 treatment significantly inhibit the effect of HDAC-1 on AS fibroblasts, suggesting that the Wnt-Smad pathway is involved in the regulation of AS by HDAC1. In conclusion, HDAC1 promotes the proliferation, inflammatory response and osteogenic differentiation of AS fibroblasts through the Wnt-Smad pathway.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins are a large family of cation-selective channels, surpassed in variety only by voltage-gated potassium channels. Detailed molecular mechanisms governing how membrane voltage, ligand binding, or temperature can induce conformational changes promoting the open state in TRP channels are still a matter of debate. Aiming to unveil distinctive structural features common to the transmembrane domains within the TRP family, we performed phylogenetic reconstruction, sequence statistics, and structural analysis over a large set of TRP channel genes. Here, we report an exceptionally conserved set of residues. This fingerprint is composed of twelve residues localized at equivalent three-dimensional positions in TRP channels from the different subtypes. Moreover, these amino acids are arranged in three groups, connected by a set of aromatics located at the core of the transmembrane structure. We hypothesize that differences in the connectivity between these different groups of residues harbor the apparent differences in coupling strategies used by TRP subgroups.

Abstract
All mucosal surfaces must deal with the challenge of exposure to the outside world. The urothelium is a highly specialized layer of stratified epithelial cells lining the inner surface of the urinary bladder, a gruelling environment involving significant stretch forces, osmotic and hydrostatic pressures, toxic substances, and microbial invasion. The urinary bladder plays an important barrier role and allows the accommodation and expulsion of large volumes of urine without permitting urine components to diffuse across. The urothelium is made up of three cell types, basal, intermediate, and umbrella cells, whose specialized functions aid in the bladder's mission. In this review, we summarize the recent insights into urothelial structure, function, development, regeneration, and in particular the role of umbrella cells in barrier formation and maintenance. We briefly review diseases which involve the bladder and discuss current human urothelial in vitro models as a complement to traditional animal studies.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), a member of the TRP superfamily of channels, has a major role in different types of pain. TRPA1 is primarily localized to a subpopulation of primary sensory neurons of the trigeminal, vagal, and dorsal root ganglia. This subset of nociceptors produces and releases the neuropeptide substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which mediate neurogenic inflammation. TRPA1 is characterized by unique sensitivity for an unprecedented number of reactive byproducts of oxidative, nitrative, and carbonylic stress and to be activated by several chemically heterogenous, exogenous, and endogenous compounds. Recent preclinical evidence has revealed that expression of TRPA1 is not limited to neurons, but its functional role has been reported in central and peripheral glial cells. In particular, Schwann cell TRPA1 was recently implicated in sustaining mechanical and thermal (cold) hypersensitivity in mouse models of macrophage-dependent and macrophage-independent inflammatory, neuropathic, cancer, and migraine pain. Some analgesics and herbal medicines/natural products widely used for the acute treatment of pain and headache have shown some inhibitory action at TRPA1. A series of high affinity and selective TRPA1 antagonists have been developed and are currently being tested in phase I and phase II clinical trials for different diseases with a prominent pain component.

Voronova IP, Khramova GM, Evtushenko AA, Kozyreva TV. Effect of Skin Ion Channel TRPM8 Activation by Cold and Menthol on Thermoregulation and the Expression of Genes of Thermosensitive TRP Ion Channels in the Hypothalamus of Hypertensive Rats. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23116088. [PMID: 35682765 PMCID: PMC9181123 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23116088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2022] [Revised: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 05/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
ISIAH (inherited stress-induced arterial hypertension) rats are characterized by high blood pressure and decreased Trpm8 gene expression in the anterior hypothalamus. Thermosensitive ion channel TRPM8 plays a critical role in the transduction of moderately cold stimuli that give rise to cool sensations. In normotensive animals, the activation of skin TRPM8 is known to induce changes in gene expression in the hypothalamus and induce alterations of thermoregulatory responses. In this work, in hypertensive rats, we studied the effects of activation of the peripheral TRPM8 by cooling and by application of a 1% menthol suspension on (1) the maintenance of body temperature balance and (2) mRNA expression of thermosensitive TRP ion channels in the hypothalamus. In these hypertensive animals, (1) pharmacological activation of peripheral TRPM8 did not affect the thermoregulatory parameters either under thermoneutral conditions or during cold exposure; (2) the expression of Trpm8 in the anterior hypothalamus approximately doubled (to the level of normotensive animals) under the influence of (a) slow cooling and (b) at pharmacological activation of the peripheral TRPM8 ion channel. The latter fact seems the quite important because it allows the proposal of a tool for correcting at least some parameters that distinguish a hypertensive state from the normotensive one.

TRPC1 Contributes to Endotoxemia-induced Myocardial Dysfunction via Mediating Myocardial Apoptosis and Autophagy. Pharmacol Res 2022; 181:106262.

Abstract
Cardiac dysfunction is a vital complication of endotoxemia (ETM) with limited therapeutic options. Transient receptor potential canonical channel (TRPC)1 was involved in various heart diseases. While, the role of TRPC1 in ETM-induced cardiac dysfunction remains to be defined. In this study, we found that TRPC1 protein expression was significantly upregulated in hearts of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged mice. What's more, TRPC1 knockdown significantly alleviated LPS-induced cardiac dysfunction and injury. Further myocardial mRNA-sequencing analysis revealed that TRPC1 might participate in pathogenesis of ETM-induced cardiac dysfunction via mediating myocardial apoptosis and autophagy. Data showed that knockdown of TRPC1 significantly ameliorated LPS-induced myocardial apoptotic injury, cardiomyocytes autophagosome accumulation, and myocardial autophagic flux. Simultaneously, deletion of TRPC1 reversed LPS-induced molecular changes of apoptosis/autophagy signaling pathway in cardiomyocytes. Moreover, TRPC1 could promote LPS-triggered intracellular Ca2+ release, subsequent calpain activation and caveolin-1 degradation. Either blocking calpain by PD150606 or enhancing the amount of caveolin-1 scaffolding domain that interacts with TRPC1 by cell-permeable peptide cavtratin significantly alleviated the LPS-induced cardiac dysfunction and cardiomyocytes apoptosis/autophagy. Furthermore, cavtratin could inhibit LPS-induced calpain activation in cardiomyocytes. caveolin-1 could directly interact with calpain 2 both in vivo and in vitro. Importantly, cecal ligation and puncture-stimulated cardiac dysfunction and mortality were significantly alleviated in Trpc1-/- and cavtratin-treated mice, which further validated the contribution of TRPC1-caveolin-1 signaling axis in sepsis-induced pathological process. Overall, this study indicated that TRPC1 could promote LPS-triggered intracellular Ca2+ release, mediate caveolin-1 reduction, and in turn activates calpain to regulate myocardial apoptosis and autophagy, contributing to ETM-induced cardiac dysfunction of mice.

Abstract
Vanilloid-subfamily TRP channels TRPV1-6 play important roles in various physiological processes and are implicated in numerous human diseases. Advances in structural biology, particularly the "resolution revolution" in cryo-EM, have led to breakthroughs in molecular characterization of TRPV channels. Structures with continuously improving resolution uncover atomic details of TRPV channel interactions with small molecules and protein-binding partners. Here, we provide a classification of structurally characterized binding sites in TRPV channels and discuss the progress that has been made by structural biology combined with mutagenesis, functional recordings, and molecular dynamics simulations toward understanding of the molecular mechanisms of ligand action. Given the similarity in structural architecture of TRP channels, 16 unique sites identified in TRPV channels may be shared between TRP channel subfamilies, although the chemical identity of a particular ligand will likely depend on the local amino-acid composition. The characterized binding sites and molecular mechanisms of ligand action create a diversity of druggable targets to aid in the design of new molecules for tuning TRP channel function in disease conditions.

Abstract
Mechanical forces are critical physical cues that can affect numerous cellular processes regulating the development, tissue maintenance, and functionality of cells. The contribution of mechanical forces is especially crucial in the vascular system where it is required for embryogenesis and for maintenance of physiological function in vascular cells including aortic endothelial cells, resident macrophages, and smooth muscle cells. Emerging evidence has also identified a role of these mechanical cues in pathological conditions of the vascular system such as atherosclerosis and associated diseases like hypertension. Of the different mechanotransducers, mechanosensitive ion channels/receptors are gaining prominence due to their involvement in numerous physiological and pathological conditions. However, only a handful of potential mechanosensory ion channels/receptors have been shown to be involved in atherosclerosis, and their precise role in disease development and progression remains poorly understood. Here, we provide a comprehensive account of recent studies investigating the role of mechanosensitive ion channels/receptors in atherosclerosis. We discuss the different groups of mechanosensitive proteins and their specific roles in inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, macrophage foam cell formation, and lesion development, which are crucial for the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Results of the studies discussed here will help in developing an understanding of the current state of mechanobiology in vascular diseases, specifically in atherosclerosis, which may be important for the development of innovative and targeted therapeutics for this disease.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a complex pathology characterized by visceral adiposity, insulin resistance, arterial hypertension, and dyslipidaemia. It has become a global epidemic associated with increased consumption of high-calorie, low-fibre food and sedentary habits. Some of its underlying mechanisms have been identified, with hypoadiponectinemia, inflammation and oxidative stress as important factors for MS establishment and progression. Alterations in adipokine levels may favour glucotoxicity and lipotoxicity which, in turn, contribute to inflammation and cellular stress responses within the adipose, pancreatic and liver tissues, in addition to hepatic steatosis. The multiple mechanisms of MS make its clinical management difficult, involving both non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are non-selective calcium channels involved in a plethora of physiological events, including energy balance, inflammation and oxidative stress. Evidence from animal models of disease has contributed to identify their specific contributions to MS and may help to tailor clinical trials for the disease. In this context, the oxidative stress sensors TRPV1, TRPA1 and TRPC5, play major roles in regulating inflammatory responses, thermogenesis and energy expenditure. Here, the interplay between these TRP channels and oxidative stress in MS is discussed in the light of novel therapies to treat this syndrome.

Abstract
In the lower urinary tract, transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are primarily involved in physiological function, especially in cellular sensors responding to chemical and physical stimuli. Among TRP channels, TRP melastatin 8 (TRPM8) channels, responding to cold temperature and/or chemical agents, such as menthol or icilin, are mainly expressed in the nerve endings of the primary afferent neurons and in the cell bodies of dorsal root ganglia innervating the urinary bladder (via Aδ- and C-fibers); this suggests that TRPM8 channels primarily contribute to bladder sensory (afferent) function. Storage symptoms of overactive bladder, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and interstitial cystitis are commonly related to sensory function (bladder hypersensitivity); thus, TRPM8 channels may also contribute to the pathophysiology of bladder hypersensitivity. Indeed, it has been reported in a pharmacological investigation using rodents that TRPM8 channels contribute to the pathophysiological bladder afferent hypersensitivity of mechanosensitive C-fibers. Similar findings have also been reported in humans. Therefore, a TRPM8 antagonist would be a promising therapeutic target for bladder hypersensitive disorders, including urinary urgency or nociceptive pain. In this review article, the functional role of the TRPM8 channel in the lower urinary tract and the potential of its antagonist for the treatment of bladder disorders was described.

Abstract
Ion channels are ubiquitously expressed in almost all living cells, and are the third-largest category of drug targets, following enzymes and receptors. The transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM) subfamily of ion channels are important to cell function and survival. Studies have shown upregulation of the TRPM family of ion channels in various brain tumours. Gliomas are the most prevalent form of primary malignant brain tumours with no effective treatment; thus, drug development is eagerly needed. TRPM2 is an essential ion channel for cell function and has important roles in oxidative stress and inflammation. In response to oxidative stress, ADP-ribose (ADPR) is produced, and in turn activates TRPM2 by binding to the NUDT9-H domain on the C-terminal. TRPM2 has been implicated in various cancers and is significantly upregulated in brain tumours. This article reviews the current understanding of TRPM2 in the context of brain tumours and overviews the effects of potential drug therapies targeting TRPM2 including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), curcumin, docetaxel and selenium, paclitaxel and resveratrol, and botulinum toxin. It is long withstanding knowledge that gliomas are difficult to treat effectively, therefore investigating TRPM2 as a potential therapeutic target for brain tumours may be of considerable interest in the fields of ion channels and pharmacology.

Abstract
Plasma membrane protein channels provide a passageway for ions to access the intracellular milieu. Rapid entry of calcium ions into cells is controlled mostly by ion channels, while Ca2+-ATPases and Ca2+ exchangers ensure that cytosolic Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]cyt) are maintained at low (~100 nM) concentrations. Some channels, such as the Ca2+-release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels and voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (CACNAs), are highly Ca2+-selective, while others, including the Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin (TRPM) family, have broader selectivity and are mostly permeable to monovalent and divalent cations. Activation of CRAC channels involves the coupling between ORAI1-3 channels with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) located Ca2+ store sensor, Stromal Interaction Molecules 1-2 (STIM1/2), a pathway also termed store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). The TRPM family is formed by 8 members (TRPM1-8) permeable to Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+ and Na+ cations, and is activated by multiple stimuli. Recent studies indicated that SOCE and TRPM structure-function are interlinked in some instances, although the molecular details of this interaction are only emerging. Here we review the role of TRPM and SOCE in Ca2+ handling and highlight the available evidence for this interaction.

Abstract
Nociception refers to the process of encoding and processing noxious stimuli, which allow animals to detect and avoid potentially harmful stimuli. Several types of stimuli can trigger nociceptive sensory transduction, including thermal, noxious chemicals, and harsh mechanical stimulation that depend on the corresponding nociceptors. In view of the high evolutionary conservation of the mechanisms that govern nociception from Drosophila melanogaster to mammals, investigation in the fruit fly Drosophila help us understand how the sensory nervous system works and what happen in nociception. Here, we present an overview of currently identified conserved genetics of nociception, the nociceptive sensory neurons responsible for detecting noxious stimuli, and various assays for evaluating different nociception. Finally, we cover development of anti-pain drug using fly model. These comparisons illustrate the value of using Drosophila as model for uncovering nociception mechanisms, which are essential for identifying new treatment goals and developing novel analgesics that are applicable to human health.

Abstract
Cerebral arteries contain two primary and interacting cell types, smooth muscle (SMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs), which are each capable of sensing particular hemodynamic forces to set basal tone and brain perfusion. These biomechanical stimuli help confer tone within arterial networks upon which local neurovascular stimuli function. Tone development is intimately tied to arterial membrane potential (VM) and changes in intracellular [Ca2+] driven by voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs). Arterial VM is in turn set by the dynamic interplay among ion channel species, the strongly inward rectifying K+ (Kir) channel being of special interest. Kir2 channels possess a unique biophysical signature in that they strongly rectify, display negative slope conductance, respond to elevated extracellular K+ and are blocked by micromolar Ba2+. While functional Kir2 channels are expressed in both smooth muscle and endothelium, they lack classic regulatory control, thus are often viewed as a simple background conductance. Recent literature has provided new insight, with two membrane lipids, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and cholesterol, noted to (1) stabilize Kir2 channels in a preferred open or closed state, respectively, and (2) confer, in association with the cytoskeleton, caveolin-1 (Cav1) and syntrophin, hemodynamic sensitivity. It is these aspects of vascular Kir2 channels that will be the primary focus of this review.

Abstract
Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of skull sutures and has a severe pathological impact on childrens’ life. Mechanical forces are capable of triggering biological responses in bone cells and regulate osteoblastogenesis in cranial sutures, leading to premature closure. The mechanosensitive proteins polycystin‐1 (PC1) and polycystin‐2 (PC2) have been documented to play an important role in craniofacial proliferation and development. Herein, we investigated the contribution of PC1 to the pathogenesis of non‐syndromic craniosynostosis and the associated molecular mechanisms. Protein expression of PC1 and PC2 was detected in bone fragments derived from craniosynostosis patients via immunohistochemistry. To explore the modulatory role of PC1 in primary cranial suture cells, we further abrogated the function of PC1 extracellular mechanosensing domain using a specific anti‐PC1 IgPKD1 antibody. Effect of IgPKD1 treatment was evaluated with cell proliferation and migration assays. Activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway components was further detected via Western blot in primary cranial suture cells following IgPKD1 treatment. PC1 and PC2 are expressed in human tissues of craniosynostosis. PC1 functional inhibition resulted in elevated proliferation and migration of primary cranial suture cells. PC1 inhibition also induced activation of AKT, exhibiting elevated phospho (p)‐AKT (Ser473) levels, but not 4EBP1 or p70S6K activation. Our findings indicate that PC1 may act as a mechanosensing molecule in cranial sutures by modulating osteoblastic cell proliferation and migration through the PC1/AKT/mTORC2 cascade with a potential impact on the development of non‐syndromic craniosynostosis.

Physiol Rep 2022; 10:e15226.

Abstract
Oxytocin is secreted into the periphery by magnocellular neurons of the hypothalamic supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei (SON and PVN) to trigger uterine contraction during birth and milk ejection during suckling. Peripheral oxytocin secretion is triggered by action potential firing, which is regulated by afferent input activity and by feedback from oxytocin secreted into the extracellular space from magnocellular neuron somata and dendrites. A prominent input to oxytocin neurons arises from proopiomelanocortin neurons of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus that secrete an alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), which inhibits oxytocin neuron firing in non-pregnant rats by increasing somato-dendritic oxytocin secretion. However, α-MSH inhibition of oxytocin neuron firing is attenuated in mid-pregnancy and somato-dendritic oxytocin becomes auto-excitatory in late-pregnancy and lactation. Therefore, we hypothesized that attenuated α-MSH inhibition of oxytocin neuron firing marks the beginning of a transition from inhibition to excitation to facilitate peripheral oxytocin secretion for parturition and lactation. Intra-SON microdialysis administration of α-MSH inhibited oxytocin neuron firing rate by 33 ± 9% in non-pregnant rats but increased oxytocin neuron firing rate by 37 ± 12% in late-pregnant rats and by 28 ± 10% in lactating rats. α-MSH-induced somato-dendritic oxytocin secretion measured ex vivo with oxytocin receptor-expressing "sniffer" cells, was of similar amplitude in PVN slices from non-pregnant and lactating rats but longer-lasting in slices from lactating rats. Hence, α-MSH inhibition of oxytocin neuron activity switches to excitation over pregnancy while somato-dendritic oxytocin secretion is maintained, which might enhance oxytocin neuron excitability to facilitate the increased peripheral secretion that is required for normal parturition and milk ejection.

Structural mechanism of allosteric activation of TRPML1 by PI(3,5)P 2 and rapamycin. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2022; 119:2120404119.

Abstract
Rapamycin is a specific inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Rapamycin can also activate transient receptor potential mucolipin 1 (TRPML1), a phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate [PI(3,5)P2]–gated lysosomal cation channel whose loss-of-function mutations directly cause mucolipidosis type IV disease. We determined the high-resolution cryoelectron microscopy structures of TRPML1 in various ligand-bound states, including the open TRPML1 in complex with PI(3,5)P2 and a rapamycin analog at 2.1 Å. These structures reveal how rapamycin and PI(3,5)P2 bind at two distinct sites and allosterically activate the channel. Considering the high potency of TRPML1 activation by rapamycin and PI(3,5)P2, it is conceivable that some pharmacological effects from the therapeutic use of rapamycin may come from the TRPML1-dependent mechanism rather than mTOR inhibition. Transient receptor potential mucolipin 1 (TRPML1) is a Ca2+-permeable, nonselective cation channel ubiquitously expressed in the endolysosomes of mammalian cells and its loss-of-function mutations are the direct cause of type IV mucolipidosis (MLIV), an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease. TRPML1 is a ligand-gated channel that can be activated by phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate [PI(3,5)P2] as well as some synthetic small-molecule agonists. Recently, rapamycin has also been shown to directly bind and activate TRPML1. Interestingly, both PI(3,5)P2 and rapamycin have low efficacy in channel activation individually but together they work cooperatively and activate the channel with high potency. To reveal the structural basis underlying the synergistic activation of TRPML1 by PI(3,5)P2 and rapamycin, we determined the high-resolution cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of the mouse TRPML1 channel in various states, including apo closed, PI(3,5)P2-bound closed, and PI(3,5)P2/temsirolimus (a rapamycin analog)-bound open states. These structures, combined with electrophysiology, elucidate the molecular details of ligand binding and provide structural insight into how the TRPML1 channel integrates two distantly bound ligand stimuli and facilitates channel opening.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels are sophisticated signaling machines that detect a wide variety of environmental and physiological signals. Every cell in the body expresses one or more members of the extended TRP channel family, which consists of over 30 subtypes, each likely possessing distinct pharmacological, biophysical, and/or structural attributes. While the function of some TRP subtypes remains enigmatic, those involved in sensory signaling are perhaps best characterized and have served as models for understanding how these excitatory ion channels serve as polymodal signal integrators. With the recent resolution revolution in cryo-electron microscopy, these and other TRP channel subtypes are now yielding their secrets to detailed atomic analysis, which is beginning to reveal structural underpinnings of stimulus detection and gating, ion permeation, and allosteric mechanisms governing signal integration. These insights are providing a framework for designing and evaluating modality-specific pharmacological agents for treating sensory and other TRP channel-associated disorders. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Biochemistry, Volume 91 is June 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To study the influences of posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) on neurogenic bladder and the expression of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels and P2X receptors in rats with spinal cord injury (SCI) and explore the possible mechanism. METHODS SCI model was established by modified Allen's method and PTNS was performed. Urodynamic indexes and Haematoxylin and Eosine staining of bladder tissue were used to evaluate the therapeutic effect. The expression of TRP channels and P2X receptors in the bladder and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot. RESULTS The low compliance of bladder in treatment group was significantly improved compared with SCI group, and the infiltration of inflammatory cells in bladder tissue was significantly reduced. At the same time, the expression of TRP and P2X in bladder and DRG was partially restored after the treatment of PTNS. CONCLUSIONS PTNS is an effective therapy for SCI-induced neurogenic bladder via the TRP/P2X signaling pathway.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a voltage-dependent non-selective cation channel activated by capsaicin, the main pungent ingredient of chili peppers, and noxious heat. Although TRPV1 channels produce outwardly rectifying currents even in the absence of capsaicin, little is known about the regulation mechanism of the TRPV1 currents. In the present study, we found that intracellular ATP regulates the basal activities of TRPV1 channels in a concentration-dependent manner. The ATP-dependent regulation of TRPV1 channels was mediated by phosphoinositides. Moreover, an increase in intracellular ATP concentration negatively shifted voltage-dependent activation of TRPV1 channels. These results suggest that the ATP-dependent production of phosphoinositides regulates the voltage-dependent gating of the basal TRPV1 channel activities in the absence of capsaicin.

Abstract
Background Transient Receptor Potential channels (TRPs), a class of ion channels, were first described two decades ago. Many TRP family members are major participants in nociception and integration of heat and pain signals. Recent studies have revealed that subfamilies of this channel, such as members of transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) channels, play important roles in breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancers. Methods We performed a comprehensive analysis of TRPVs in 9125 tumor samples of 33 cancer types using multi-omics data extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We identified differences in mRNA expression in a pan-cancer analysis, and the genomic characteristics of single nucleotide variations, copy number variations, methylation features, and miRNA–mRNA interactions using data from TCGA. Finally, we evaluated the sensitivity and resistance to drugs targeting TRPV channel-related genes using the Cancer Therapeutics Response Portal (CTRP) and the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) database. Finally, we validated the drug sensitive data and the importance of TRPV6 in two cancer cell lines using q-PCR assay, CCK8 assay, EdU assay and scratch assay. Results Extensive genetic alterations in TRPV channel-related genes and differences in gene expression were associated with the activity of cancer marker-related pathways. TRPV channel-related genes can be used as prognostic biomarkers. Several potential drugs, such as lapatinib, that may target TRPV channel-related genes were identified by mining the genomics of drug sensitivity. Conclusion This study revealed the genomic changes and clinical characteristics of TRPV channel-related regulatory factors in 33 types of tumors. This analysis may help uncover the TRPV channel-related genes associated with tumorigenesis. We also proposed novel strategies for tumor treatment.

Abstract
Migraine afflicts more than 10% of the general population. Although its mechanism is poorly understood, recent preclinical and clinical evidence has identified calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) as a major mediator of migraine pain. CGRP, which is predominantly expressed in a subset of primary sensory neurons, including trigeminal afferents, when released from peripheral terminals of nociceptors, elicits arteriolar vasodilation and mechanical allodynia, a hallmark of migraine attack. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels include several cationic channels with pleiotropic functions and ubiquitous distribution in various cells and tissues. Some members of the TRP channel family, such as the ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), vanilloid 1 and 4 (TRPV1 and TRPV4, respectively), and TRPM3, are abundantly expressed in primary sensory neurons and are recognized as sensors of chemical-, heat- and mechanical-induced pain, and play a primary role in several models of pain diseases, including inflammatory, neuropathic cancer pain, and migraine pain. In addition, TRP channel stimulation results in CGRP release, which can be activated or sensitized by various endogenous and exogenous stimuli, some of which have been proven to trigger or worsen migraine attacks. Moreover, some antimigraine medications seem to act through TRPA1 antagonism. Here we review the preclinical and clinical evidence that highlights the role of TRP channels, and mainly TRPA1, in migraine pathophysiology and may be proposed as new targets for its treatment.

Abstract
Soil health is a matter of growing concern because of its degradation due to unsustainable anthropogenic activities over the last few decades. It is maintained by interactions among the components of the soil food web commonly concentrated in the vicinity of the plant roots, called the rhizosphere. The soil food web is dominated by nematodes. They occupy various trophic positions because of their diverse feeding habits. The free-living forms are mainly dependent on soil bacteria and fungi for their nutrition, while the parasitic forms feed on plant roots. The population of these two groups is regulated by the activities of predatory nematodes which can be carnivorous or omnivorous. The soil nematodes thereby partake responsibilities in nutrient cycling, mineralization and decomposition pathways which, in turn, affects the aboveground productivity. This intricately connected food web structure is vulnerable to disturbances like increased soil salinity, acidity, nitrogen enrichment, tillage, crop rotations, fertilizers, pesticides, soil amendment techniques and heavy metal pollution. The effects are reflected by alterations in the abundance and diversity of soil nematodes belonging to various trophic groups. These alterations have been formulated into measurable indices like maturity index (MI), structure index (SI), enrichment index (EI) and channel index (CI). The faunal profile and metabolic footprints of soil nematodes are latest developments in the field of nematode community analyses. Though these indices cannot replace the conventional soil ecotoxicological assays, they can give added information about soil biology which can be utilized to design sustainable land use practices.

Abstract
Members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily are cation channels that are expressed in nearly every mammalian cell type and respond as cellular sensors to various environmental stimuli. Light, pressure, osmolarity, temperature, and other stimuli can induce TRP calcium conductivity and correspondingly trigger many signaling processes in cells. Disruption of TRP channel activity, as a rule, harms cellular function. Despite numerous studies, the mechanisms of TRP channel regulation are not yet sufficiently clear, in part, because TRP channels are regulated by a broad set of ligands having diverse physical and chemical features. It is now known that some TRP members are located in membrane microdomains termed lipid rafts. Moreover, interaction between specific raft-associated lipids with channels may be a key regulation mechanism. This review examines recent findings related to the roles of lipid rafts in regulation of TRP channel activity. The mechanistic events of channel interactions with the main lipid raft constituent, cholesterol, are being clarified. Better understanding of mechanisms behind such interactions would help establish the key elements of TRP channel regulation and hence allow control of cellular responses to environmental stimuli.

Abstract
Cellular Ca2+ signaling functions as one of the most common second messengers of various signal transduction pathways in cells and mediates a number of physiological roles in a cell-type dependent manner. Ca2+ signaling also regulates more general and fundamental cellular activities, including cell proliferation and apoptosis. Among ion channels, Ca2+-permeable channels in the plasma membrane as well as endo- and sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes play important roles in Ca2+ signaling by directly contributing to the influx of Ca2+ from extracellular spaces or its release from storage sites, respectively. Furthermore, Ca2+-gated ion channels in the plasma membrane often crosstalk reciprocally with Ca2+ signals and are central to the regulation of cellular functions. This review focuses on the physiological and pharmacological impact of i) Ca2+-gated ion channels as an apparatus for the conversion of cellular Ca2+ signals to intercellularly propagative electrical signals and ii) the opposite feedback regulation of Ca2+ signaling by Ca2+-gated ion channel activities in excitable and non-excitable cells.

Presence of TRPA1 Modifies CD4+/CD8+ T Lymphocyte Ratio and Activation. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15010057. [PMID: 35056114 PMCID: PMC8781558 DOI: 10.3390/ph15010057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2021] [Revised: 12/24/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) has been reported to influence neuroinflammation and lymphocyte function. We analysed the immune phenotype and activation characteristics of TRPA1-deficient mice (knockout—KO) generated by targeted deletion of the pore-loop domain of the ion channel. We compared TRPA1 mRNA and protein expression in monocyte and lymphocyte subpopulations isolated from primary and secondary lymphatic organs of wild type (WT) and KO mice. qRT-PCR and flow cytometric studies indicated a higher level of TRPA1 in monocytes than in lymphocytes, but both were orders of magnitude lower than in sensory neurons. We found lower CD4+/CD8+ thymocyte ratios, diminished CD4/CD8 rates, and B cell numbers in the KO mice. Early activation marker CD69 was lower in CD4+ T cells of KO, while the level of CD8+/CD25+ cells was higher. In vitro TcR-mediated activation did not result in significant differences in CD69 level between WT and KO splenocytes, but lower cytokine (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-17A, IL-22, and RANTES) secretion was observed in KO splenocytes. Basal intracellular Ca2+ level and TcR-induced Ca2+ signal in T lymphocytes did not differ significantly, but interestingly, imiquimod-induced Ca2+ level in KO thymocytes was higher. Our results support the role of TRPA1 in the regulation of activation, cytokine production, and T and B lymphocytes composition in mice.

Abstract
Calcium is one of the most important second messengers in cells. The uptake and release of calcium ions are conducted by channels and transporters. Inside a eukaryotic cell, calcium is stored in intracellular organelles including the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), mitochondrion, and lysosome. Lysosomes are acid membrane-bounded organelles serving as the crucial degradation and recycling center of the cell. Lysosomes involve in multiple important signaling events, including nutrient sensing, lipid metabolism, and trafficking. Hitherto, two lysosomal cation channel families have been suggested to function as calcium release channels, namely the Two-pore Channel (TPC) family, and the Transient Receptor Potential Channel Mucolipin (TRPML) family. Additionally, a few plasma membrane calcium channels have also been found in the lysosomal membrane under certain circumstances. In this review, we will discuss the structural mechanism of the cation channels that may be important for lysosomal calcium release, primarily focusing on the TPCs and TRPMLs.

Abstract
Intracellular calcium signaling regulates diverse physiological and pathological processes. In solid tumors, changes to calcium channels and effectors via mutations or changes in expression affect all cancer hallmarks. Such changes often disrupt transport of calcium ions (Ca2+) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or mitochondria, impacting apoptosis. Evidence rapidly accumulates that this is similar in blood cancer. Principles of intracellular Ca2+ signaling are outlined in the introduction. We describe different Ca2+-toolkit components and summarize the unique relationship between extracellular Ca2+ in the endosteal niche and hematopoietic stem cells. The foundational data on Ca2+ homeostasis in red blood cells is discussed, with the demonstration of changes in red blood cell disorders. This leads to the role of Ca2+ in neoplastic erythropoiesis. Then we expand onto the neoplastic impact of deregulated plasma membrane Ca2+ channels, ER Ca2+ channels, Ca2+ pumps and exchangers, as well as Ca2+ sensor and effector proteins across all types of hematologic neoplasms. This includes an overview of genetic variants in the Ca2+-toolkit encoding genes in lymphoid and myeloid cancers as recorded in publically available cancer databases. The data we compiled demonstrate that multiple Ca2+ homeostatic mechanisms and Ca2+ responsive pathways are altered in hematologic cancers. Some of these alterations may have genetic basis but this requires further investigation. Most changes in the Ca2+-toolkit do not appear to define/associate with specific disease entities but may influence disease grade, prognosis, treatment response, and certain complications. Further elucidation of the underlying mechanisms may lead to novel treatments, with the aim to tailor drugs to different patterns of deregulation. To our knowledge this is the first review of its type in the published literature. We hope that the evidence we compiled increases awareness of the calcium signaling deregulation in hematologic neoplasms and triggers more clinical studies to help advance this field.
