[PMID: 38941887 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmc.2024.117812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024]
Abstract
This study explored the potential of perfumery compounds as sources of transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) inhibitors that could be formulated for effective delivery to the skin and airways. A highly potent, small, and selective TRPA1 inhibitor, 2-methyl-4-phenyl-1-pentanol (1), was discovered in perfumery compounds. Compound 1 demonstrated promising inhibitory activity against a broad range of TRPA1 agonists. A single stereoisomer of 1 was identified as the most effective TRPA1 inhibitor, indicating the potential for stereoselective synthesis to enhance its potency. Additionally, the structure-activity relationship of 1 was evaluated to elucidate the structural features of TRPA1 inhibitors within the fragrance-like compounds. Notably, the topical application of 1 alleviated sensory irritation in individuals with sensitive skin, while the inhalation of 1 resulted in a significant reduction in ammonia irritation, underscoring its efficacy in both skin and airway applications.

Yan T, Luo M, He J, Wang M, Ma Z, Zhao Z, Xiong H, Mei Z. Artemisia argyi volatile oil ameliorates allergic contact dermatitis via modulating TRPA1/CGRP signaling. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 334:118580. [PMID: 39019419 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 06/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The leaves of Artemisia argyi Levl.et Vant. have a long history of being used to treat skin diseases such as pruritus and dermatitis in China, but the therapeutic effect on allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is still unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY To investigate the effect and molecular mechanisms of the volatile oil of A. argyi leaves (abbreviated as 'AO') in the treatment of ACD. MATERIALS AND METHODS The main components in AO were analyzed using GC-MS. The effect of AO on channel currents in hTRPA1-transfected HEK293T cells was studied by whole-cell patch clamp. Subsequently, chloroquine-evoked acute itch and squaraine dibutyl ester (SADBE)-induced ACD chronic itch model was established to evaluate the antipruritic effect through counting scratching behavior, and the anti-inflammatory effects on ACD mice were measured using histological analysis. Meanwhile, the changes of CGRP, the infiltration of nerve fibers and the recruitment of dendritic cells, the expression of Il-23 and Il-17 mRNA in skin lesions, the phosphorylation of ERK and p38 in dorsal root ganglion (DRG), were evaluated by molecular biological methods. Then the inhibitory effect of AO on AITC- or SADBE-activated TRPA1 channels in primary DRG neurons of C57BL/6, Trpa1-/- or Trpv1-/- mice was elucidated by Ca2+ imaging and immunofluorescence. RESULTS AO treatment inhibited the activation of TRPA1 in HEK293T cells and alleviated acute itch caused by chloroquine, but this effect was lacking in Trpa1-/- mice. Furthermore, administration of AO attenuated scratching behavior in SADBE-induced ACD mice. AO also inhibited the increase of nerve fibers and recruitment of dendritic cells, and down-regulated the expression of CGRP and the levels of Il-23 and Il-17 mRNA. Meanwhile, AO reduced the expression of p-p38 and p-ERK in the lesioned skin and DRG of SADBE-induced ACD mice. Additionally, AO blocked the activation of TRPA1 channels and decreased the levels of CGRP, p-p38, and p-ERK in DRG neurons. CONCLUSION AO could inhibit TRPA1 channels in sensory neurons, thereby reducing the release of CGRP and exerting anti-pruritic and anti-inflammatory effect. These findings also provide a new strategy for exploring the role of A. argyi in treating ACD.

Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1354737.

Abstract
Eugenol (EUG) is a bioactive monoterpenoid used as an analgesic, preservative, and flavoring agent. Our new data show EUG as a voltage-gated Na+ channel (VGSC) inhibitor, comparable but not identical to lidocaine (LID). EUG inhibits both total and only TTX-R voltage-activated Na+ currents (INa) recorded from VGSCs naturally expressed on dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons in rats. Inhibition is quick, fully reversible, and dose-dependent. Our biophysical and pharmacological analyses showed that EUG and LID inhibit VGSCs with different mechanisms. EUG inhibits VGSCs with a dose-response relationship characterized by a Hill coefficient of 2, while this parameter for the inhibition by LID is 1. Furthermore, in a different way from LID, EUG modified the voltage dependence of both the VGSC activation and inactivation processes and the recovery from fast inactivated states and the entry to slow inactivated states. In addition, we suggest that EUG, but not LID, interacts with VGSC pre-open-closed states, according to our data.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Borneol is a long-established traditional Chinese medicine that has been found to be effective in treating pain and itchy skin. However, whether borneol has a therapeutic effect on chronic itch and its related mechanisms remain unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY To investigate the antipruritic effect of borneol and its molecular mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS DrugBAN framework and molecular docking were applied to predict the targets of borneol, and the calcium imaging or patch-clamp recording analysis were used to detect the effects of borneol on TRPA1, TRPM8 or TRPV3 channels in HEK293T cells. In addition, various mouse models of acute itch and chronic itch were established to evaluate the antipruritic effects of borneol on C57BL/6J mice. Then, the borneol-induced pruritic relief was further investigated in Trpa1-/-, Trpm8-/-, or Trpa1-/-/Trpm8-/- mice. The effects of borneol on the activation of TRPM8 and the inhibition of TRPA1 were also measured in dorsal root ganglia neurons of wild-type (WT), Trpm8-/- and Trpv1-/- mice. Lastly, a randomized, double-blind study of adult patients was conducted to evaluate the clinical antipruritic effect of borneol. RESULTS TRPA1, TRPV3 and TRPM8 are the potential targets of borneol according to the results of DrugBAN algorithm and molecular docking. Calcium imaging and patch-clamp recording analysis demonstrated that borneol activates TRPM8 channel-induced cell excitability and inhibits TRPA1 channel-mediated cell excitability in transfected HEK293T cells. Animal behavior analysis showed that borneol can significantly reduce acute and chronic itch behavior in C57BL/6J mice, but this effect was eliminated in Trpa1-/-, Trpm8-/- mice, or at least in Trpa1-/-/Trpm8-/- mice. Borneol elicits TRPM8 channel induced [Ca2+]i responses but inhibits AITC or SADBE-induced activation of TRPA1 channels in dorsal root ganglia neurons of WT and Trpv1-/- mice, respectively. Furthermore, the clinical results indicated that borneol could reduce itching symptoms in patients and its efficacy is similar to that of menthol. CONCLUSION Borneol has therapeutic effects on multiple pruritus models in mice and patients with chronic itch, and the mechanism may be through inhibiting TRPA1 and activating TRPM8.

Abstract
Bioassay-guided isolation of the extract from the marine sponge Diacarnus spinipoculum showing inhibitory activity against human transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (hTRPA1) resulted in the isolation of 12 norditerpene cyclic peroxides (1-12) and eight norsesterterpene cyclic peroxides (13-20). Among these, 10 (5-7, 11, 12, 16-20) are unprecedented analogs. Compounds with either a hydroxy (5, 11) or a methoxy (6, 12) group attached to the cyclohexanone moiety were obtained as epimeric mixtures at C-11, while compounds 4, 6, 10, and 12 are likely the artifacts of isolation. The absolute configurations of the new compounds were established based on an NMR-based empirical method and comparison of specific rotation values. Mosher ester analysis revealed the absolute configurations of compounds 17-20. The inhibitory activity of the isolated compounds against hTRPA1 varied significantly depending on their structures, with the norsesterterpenoid 19 displaying the most potent activity (IC50 2.0 μM).

Abstract
The transient receptor potential ion channel TRPA1 is a Ca2+-permeable nonselective cation channel widely expressed in sensory neurons, but also in many nonneuronal tissues typically possessing barrier functions, such as the skin, joint synoviocytes, cornea, and the respiratory and intestinal tracts. Here, the primary role of TRPA1 is to detect potential danger stimuli that may threaten the tissue homeostasis and the health of the organism. The ability to directly recognize signals of different modalities, including chemical irritants, extreme temperatures, or osmotic changes resides in the characteristic properties of the ion channel protein complex. Recent advances in cryo-electron microscopy have provided an important framework for understanding the molecular basis of TRPA1 function and have suggested novel directions in the search for its pharmacological regulation. This chapter summarizes the current knowledge of human TRPA1 from a structural and functional perspective and discusses the complex allosteric mechanisms of activation and modulation that play important roles under physiological or pathophysiological conditions. In this context, major challenges for future research on TRPA1 are outlined.

Abstract
Clary sage essential oil (CSEO) is utilized in perfumery, aromatherapy, and skincare. Linalyl acetate (LA), a primary component of CSEO, possesses sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic properties. However, the mechanism of its analgesic action is not clearly understood. Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel, a non-selective cation channel, is mainly expressed in sensory neurons and serves as a sensor of various irritants. In this study, we investigated the effects of LA on TRPA1 channel using heterologous expression system and isolated sensory neurons. To detect channel activity, we employed Ca2+ imaging and the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. The analgesic action of LA was measured in a pain-related behavioral mouse model. In cells that heterologously expressed TRPA1, LA diminished [Ca2+]i and current responses to allylisothiocyanate (AITC) and carvacrol: exogenous TRPA1 agonists, and the inhibitory effects were more pronounced for the former than for the latter. Moreover, LA suppressed [Ca2+] i and current responses to PGJ2: an endogenous TRPA1 agonist. Similar inhibitory actions were observed in native TRPA1 channels expressed in mouse sensory neurons. Furthermore, LA diminished PGJ2-induced nociceptive behaviors in mice. These findings suggest that analgesic effects of LA exert through inhibition of nociceptive TRPA1, making it a potential candidate for novel analgesic development.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to create a new method for delivering oral borneol (BN) drug that would improve stability. This was accomplished through microencapsulation using HiCap®100 and maltodextrin (MD), resulting in HiCap®100/MD/BN microcapsules (MCs). The HiCap®100/MD/BN MCs were evaluated in terms of encapsulation efficiency (EE%), drug loading (DL%), morphological observations, particle size distribution, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis, drug degradation rate studies, and in vitro release behavior. The effect of MCs on intestinal permeability in a rat model was assessed using the model drug "florfenicol" (FF) in single-pass intestinal perfusion (SPIP) study. The relationship between MCs and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) was further investigated in comparison with verapamil (Ver). The irritation of MCs was assessed by histological analysis. The MCs in a spherical structure with micron-scale dimensions were obtained. The EE% and DL% were (86.71 ± 0.96)% and (6.03 ± 0.32)%, respectively. MCs played a significantly protective role in drug degradation rate studies. In vitro release studies indicated that the release behavior of MCs was significantly better than BN at the three-release media, and the cumulative release rate exceeded 90% in 15 min. The SPIP studies showed that MCs significantly enhanced the absorption of FF in rats. Compared with Ver, MCs were not promoted by a single inhibition of P-gp. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE)-stained images showed that MCs had no obvious irritation and toxic effects on the intestines of rats. Thus, the preparation of HiCap®100/MD/BN MCs improves the stability of BN, which has certain scientific value for the development and application of BN, and provides unique perspectives for future BN-related researches.

Abstract
Ten new norterpene alkaloids, coscinoderines A-J (1-10), were isolated from the marine sponge Coscinoderma bakusi. Each coscinoderine contains a 1,2,5-trisubstituted pyridinium moiety bearing a terpene unit at the C-2 position. Their structures were elucidated by analysis of NMR and HRMS data, and the absolute stereochemistry of 4 with a 2-methylbutyl group attached to the nitrogen was determined from a comparison of the calculated and measured ECD spectra. The isolation of coscinoderines expands the repertoire of pyridinium alkaloids isolated from marine sponges.

[PMID: 37102121 PMCID: PMC10123348 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrep.2023.101468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2022] [Revised: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Linalool, an essential oil component of lavender is commonly used in fragrances. It is known that linalool has anxiolytic, sedative, and analgesic actions. However, the mechanism of its analgesic action has not yet been fully clarified. Pain signals elicited by the activation of nociceptors on peripheral neurons are transmitted to the central nervous system. In the present study, we investigated the effects of linalool on transient receptor potential (TRP) channels and voltage-gated channels, both of which are important for pain signaling via nociceptors in somatosensory neurons. For detection of channel activity, the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was measured using a Ca2+-imaging system, and membrane currents were recorded using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Analgesic actions were also examined in vivo. In mouse sensory neurons linalool at concentrations that did not induce [Ca2+]i increases did not affect [Ca2+]i responses to capsaicin and acids, TRPV1 agonists, but suppressed those induced by allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) and carvacrol, TRPA1 agonists. Similar inhibitory effects of linalool were observed in cells that heterologously expressed TRPA1. Linalool attenuated the [Ca2+]i increases induced by KCl and voltage-gated Ca2+ currents but only slightly suppressed voltage-gated Na+currents in mouse sensory neurons. Linalool diminished TRPA1-mediated nociceptive behaviors. The present data suggest that linalool exerts an analgesic action via the suppression of nociceptive TRPA1 and voltage-gated Ca2+ channels.

Abstract
The pathology of skin immune diseases such as atopic dermatitis is closely related to the overproduction of cytokines by macrophages. Although the pathological functions of macrophages in skin are known, mechanisms of how they detect the tissue environment remain unknown. TRPV4, a nonselective cation channel with high Ca2+ permeability, is activated at physiological temperatures from 27 to 35°C and involved in the functional control of macrophages. However, the relationship between TRPV4 function in macrophages and skin immune disease is unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that TRPV4 activation inhibits NF-κB signaling, resulting in the suppression of IL-1β production in both human primary monocytes and macrophages derived from human primary monocytes. A TRPV4 activator also inhibited the differentiation of human primary monocytes into GM-CSF M1 macrophages but not M-CSF M2 macrophages. We also observed a significant increase in the number of inducible NO synthase-positive/TRPV4-negative dermal macrophages in atopic dermatitis compared with healthy human skin specimens. Our findings provide insight into the physiological relevance of TRPV4 to the regulation of macrophages during homeostasis maintenance and raise the potential for TRPV4 to be an anti-inflammatory target.

Abstract
Cannabis is a complex biosynthetic plant, with a long history of medicinal use. While cannabinoids have received the majority of the attention for their psychoactive and pharmacological activities, cannabis produces a diverse array of phytochemicals, such as terpenes. These compounds are known to play a role in the aroma and flavor of cannabis but are potent biologically active molecules that exert effects on infectious as well as chronic diseases. Furthermore, terpenes have the potential to play important roles, such as synergistic and/or entourage compounds that modulate the activity of the cannabinoids. This review highlights the diversity and bioactivities of terpenes in cannabis, especially minor or secondary terpenes that are less concentrated in cannabis on a by-mass basis. We also explore the question of the entourage effect in cannabis, which studies to date have supported or refuted the concept of synergy in cannabis, and where synergy experimentation is headed, to better understand the interplay between phytochemicals within Cannabis sativa L.

Abstract
The activation of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels expressed by sensory neurons is essential to the transduction of thermal and mechanical sensory information. In the setting of chronic inflammatory conditions, the activation of the melastatin family member 8 (TRPM8), the TRP vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), and the TRP ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is correlated with pain hypersensitivity reactions. Monoterpenes, among which pulegone and menthol, a major class of phytocompounds present in essential oils of medicinal plants, are known modulators of those TRP channels activity. In the present review, we correlate the monoterpene content of plants with their historical therapeutic properties. We then describe how monoterpenes exert their anti-inflammatory and antihyperalgesia effects through modulation of TRP channels activity. Finally, we discuss the importance and the potential of characterizing new plant extracts and reassessing studied plant extracts for the development of ethnopharmacology-based innovative treatments for chronic pain. This review suggests that monoterpene solutions, based on composition from traditional healing herbs, offer an interesting avenue for the development of new phytotherapeutic treatments to alleviate chronic inflammatory pain conditions.

Abstract
The worldwide prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases is about 40%, with standard pharmacotherapy being long-lasting and economically challenging. Of the dozens of diseases listed by the Rome IV Foundation criteria, for five of them (heartburn, dyspepsia, nausea and vomiting disorder, constipation, and diarrhoea), treatment with herbals is an official alternative, legislatively supported by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). However, for most plants, the Directive does not require a description of the mechanisms of action, which should be related to the therapeutic effect of the European plant in question. This review article, therefore, summarizes the basic pharmacological knowledge of synthetic drugs used in selected functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) and correlates them with the constituents of medicinal plants. Therefore, the information presented here is intended as a starting point to support the claim that both empirical folk medicine and current and decades-old treatments with official herbal remedies have a rational basis in modern pharmacology.

Abstract
Tobacco smoking-related diseases are estimated to kill more than 8 million people/year and most smokers are willing to stop smoking. The pharmacological approach to aid smoking cessation comprises nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and inhibitors of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which is activated by nicotine. Common side effects of oral NRT products include hiccoughs, gastrointestinal disturbances and, most notably, irritation, burning and pain in the mouth and throat, which are the most common reasons for premature discontinuation of NRT and termination of cessation efforts. Attempts to reduce the unwanted sensory side effects are warranted, and research discovering the most optimal masking procedures is urgently needed. This requires a firm mechanistic understanding of the neurobiology behind the activation of sensory nerves and their receptors by nicotine. The sensory nerves in the oral cavity and throat express the so-called transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, which are responsible for mediating the nicotine-evoked irritation, burning and pain sensations. Targeting the TRP channels is one way to modulate the unwanted sensory side effects. A variety of natural (Generally Recognized As Safe [GRAS]) compounds interact with the TRP channels, thus making them interesting candidates as safe additives to oral NRT products. The present narrative review will discuss (1) current evidence on how nicotine contributes to irritation, burning and pain in the oral cavity and throat, and (2) options to modulate these unwanted side-effects with the purpose of increasing adherence to NRT. Nicotine provokes irritation, burning and pain in the oral cavity and throat. Managing these side effects will ensure better compliance to oral NRT products and hence increase the success of smoking cessation. A specific class of sensory receptors (TRP channels) are involved in mediating nicotine's sensory side effects, making them to potential treatment targets. Many natural (Generally Recognized As Safe [GRAS]) compounds are potentially beneficial modulators of TRP channels.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) refer to a group of disorders characterized by inflammation in the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, which mainly comprises Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). IBDs are characterized by inflammation of the intestinal mucosa, are highly debilitating, and are without a definitive cure. Their pathogenesis has not yet been fully elucidated; however, it is assumed that genetic, immunological, and environmental factors are involved. People affected by IBDs have relapses, and therapeutic regimens are not always able to keep symptoms in remission over the long term. Natural products emerge as an alternative for the development of new drugs; bioactive compounds are promising in the treatment of several disorders, among them those that affect the gastrointestinal tract, due to their wide structural diversity and biological activities. This review compiles 12 terpenes with intestinal anti-inflammatory activity evaluated in animal models and in vitro studies. The therapeutic approach to IBDs using terpenes acts basically to prevent oxidative stress, combat dysbiosis, restore intestinal permeability, and improve the inflammation process in different signaling pathways.

Abstract
The substantia gelatinosa (SG) of the trigeminal subnucleus caudalis (Vc) is the first relay site for the orofacial nociceptive inputs via the thin myelinated Aδ and unmyelinated C primary afferent fibers. Borneol, one of the valuable timehonored herbal ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine, is a popular treatment for anxiety, anesthesia, and antinociception. However, to date, little is known as to how borneol acts on the SG neurons of the Vc. To close this gap, the whole-cell patch-clamp technique was applied to elucidate the antinociceptive mechanism responding for the actions of borneol on the SG neurons of the Vc in mice. In the voltage-clamp mode, holding at -60 mV, the borneol-induced non-desensitizing inward currents were not affected by tetrodotoxin, a voltage-gated Na+ channel blocker, 6-cyano-7-nitro-quinoxaline-2,3-dione, a non-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor antagonist and DL-2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid, an NMDA receptor antagonist. However, borneol-induced inward currents were partially decreased in the presence of picrotoxin, a γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)A receptor antagonist, or strychnine, a glycine receptor antagonist, and was almost suppressed in the presence of picrotoxin and strychnine. Though borneol did not show any effect on the glycine-induced inward currents, borneol enhanced GABA-mediated responses. Beside, borneol enhanced the GABA-induced hyperpolarization under the current-clamp mode. Altogether, we suggest that borneol contributes in part toward mediating the inhibitory GABA and glycine transmission on the SG neurons of the Vc and may serve as an herbal therapeutic for orofacial pain ailments.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a cation channel that plays a critical role in the occurrence and transmission of pain. By screening 393 marine invertebrate extracts for their antagonistic activity against TRPA1, it was found that the extract of the edible sea cucumber Bohadschia vitiensis had a remarkable potency. Bioassay-guided separation of the extract resulted in the isolation of six triterpene glycosides, including a novel analog. All six isolated compounds exhibited high inhibitory potency against TRPA1 (IC50 values ranging from 0.60 to 3.26 μM), which is comparable to that of a previously developed synthetic antagonist (A-967079). The discovery of TRPA1 antagonists, originated from this edible sea cucumber, opens the door for the elaboration of the valuable triterpene scaffold for the development of novel safe analgesics.

Abstract
Forest trees are a major source of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs). Terpenes and terpenoids are known as the main BVOCs of forest aerosols. These compounds have been shown to display a broad range of biological activities in various human disease models, thus implying that forest aerosols containing these compounds may be related to beneficial effects of forest bathing. In this review, we surveyed studies analyzing BVOCs and selected the most abundant 23 terpenes and terpenoids emitted in forested areas of the Northern Hemisphere, which were reported to display anti-inflammatory activities. We categorized anti-inflammatory processes related to the functions of these compounds into six groups and summarized their molecular mechanisms of action. Finally, among the major 23 compounds, we examined the therapeutic potentials of 12 compounds known to be effective against respiratory inflammation, atopic dermatitis, arthritis, and neuroinflammation among various inflammatory diseases. In conclusion, the updated studies support the beneficial effects of forest aerosols and propose their potential use as chemopreventive and therapeutic agents for treating various inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential ankyrin (TRPA) channels are Ca2+-permeable nonselective cation channels remarkably conserved through the animal kingdom. Mammals have only one member, TRPA1, which is widely expressed in sensory neurons and in non-neuronal cells (such as epithelial cells and hair cells). TRPA1 owes its name to the presence of 14 ankyrin repeats located in the NH2 terminus of the channel, an unusual structural feature that may be relevant to its interactions with intracellular components. TRPA1 is primarily involved in the detection of an extremely wide variety of exogenous stimuli that may produce cellular damage. This includes a plethora of electrophilic compounds that interact with nucleophilic amino acid residues in the channel and many other chemically unrelated compounds whose only common feature seems to be their ability to partition in the plasma membrane. TRPA1 has been reported to be activated by cold, heat, and mechanical stimuli, and its function is modulated by multiple factors, including Ca2+, trace metals, pH, and reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and carbonyl species. TRPA1 is involved in acute and chronic pain as well as inflammation, plays key roles in the pathophysiology of nearly all organ systems, and is an attractive target for the treatment of related diseases. Here we review the current knowledge about the mammalian TRPA1 channel, linking its unique structure, widely tuned sensory properties, and complex regulation to its roles in multiple pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
Neuropathic pain (NP) is a difficult condition to treat because of the modest efficacy of available drugs. New treatments are required. In the study we aimed to investigate the effects of the essential oil from Lippia grata alone or complexed in β-cyclodextrin (LG or LG-βCD) on persistent inflammatory and neuropathic pain in a mouse model. We also investigated Ca2+ currents in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. Male Swiss mice were treated with LG or LG/β-CD (24 mg/kg, i.g.) and their effect was evaluated using an acute inflammatory pleurisy model and nociception triggered by intraplantar injection of an agonist of the TRPs channels. We also tested their effect in chronic pain models: injection of Freund's Complete Adjuvant and partial sciatic nerve ligation (PSNL). In the pleurisy model, LG reduced the number of leukocytes and the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β. It also inhibited cinnamaldehyde and menthol-induced nociceptive behavior. The pain threshold in mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia was increased and paw edema was decreased in models of inflammatory and neuropathic pain. PSNL increased inflammatory protein contents and LG and LG-βCD restored the protein contents of TNF-α, NF-κB, and PKA, but not IL-1β and IL-10. LG inhibited voltage gated Ca2+ channels from DRG neurons. Our results suggested that LG or LG-βCD produce anti-hyperalgesic effect in chronic pain models through reductions in TNF-α levels and PKA, and inhibited voltage-gated calcium channels and may be innovative therapeutic agents for the management of NP.

Abstract
TRPA1, a versatile ion channel of the Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channel family, detects a large variety of chemicals and can contribute to signal processing of other stimuli, e.g., due to its sensitivity to cytosolic calcium elevation or phosphoinositolphosphate modulation. At first, TRPA1 was found on sensory neurons, where it can act as a sensor for potential or actual tissue damage that ultimately may elicit pain or itch as warning symptoms. This review provides an update regarding the analgesic and antipruritic potential of TRPA1 modulation and the respective clinical trials. Furthermore, TRPA1 has been found in an increasing amount of other cell types. Therefore, the main focus of the review is to discuss the non-analgesic and particularly the disease-modifying potential of TRPA1. This includes diseases of the respiratory system, cancer, ischemia, allergy, diabetes, and the gastrointestinal system. The involvement of TRPA1 in the respective pathophysiological cascades is so far mainly based on pre-clinical data.

Abstract
TRPA1 is a cation channel located on the plasma membrane of many types of human and animal cells, including skin sensory neurons and epithelial cells of the intestine, lungs, urinary bladder, etc. TRPA1 is the major chemosensor that also responds to thermal and mechanical stimuli. Substances that activate TRPA1, e.g., allyl isothiocyanates (pungent components of mustard, horseradish, and wasabi), cinnamaldehyde from cinnamon, organosulfur compounds from garlic and onion, tear gas, acrolein and crotonaldehyde from cigarette smoke, etc., cause burning, mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity, cough, eye irritation, sneezing, mucus secretion, and neurogenic inflammation. An increased activity of TRPA1 leads to the emergence of chronic pruritus and allergic dermatitis and is associated with episodic pain syndrome, a hereditary disease characterized by episodes of debilitating pain triggered by stress. TRPA1 is now considered as one of the targets for developing new anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. This review summarizes information on the structure, function, and physiological role of this channel, as well as describes known TRPA1 ligands and their significance as therapeutic agents in the treatment of inflammation-associated pain.

Abstract
Over the last decades, a great array of molecular mediators have been identified as potential targets for the treatment of chronic pain. Among these mediators, transient receptor potential (TRP) channel superfamily members have been thoroughly studied. Namely, the nonselective cationic channel, transient receptor potential ankyrin subtype 1 (TRPA1), has been described as a chemical nocisensor involved in noxious cold and mechanical sensation and as rivalling TRPV1, which traditionally has been considered as the most important TRP channel involved in nociceptive transduction. However, few TRPA1-related drugs have succeeded in clinical trials. In the present review, we attempt to discuss the latest data on the topic and future directions for pharmacological intervention.

Borneol for Regulating the Permeability of the Blood-Brain Barrier in Experimental Ischemic Stroke: Preclinical Evidence and Possible Mechanism. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:2936737.

Abstract
Borneol, a natural product in the Asteraceae family, is widely used as an upper ushering drug for various brain diseases in many Chinese herbal formulae. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays an essential role in maintaining a stable homeostatic environment, while BBB destruction and the increasing BBB permeability are common pathological processes in many serious central nervous system (CNS) diseases, which is especially an essential pathological basis of cerebral ischemic injury. Here, we aimed to conduct a systematic review to assess preclinical evidence of borneol for experimental ischemic stroke as well as investigate in the possible neuroprotective mechanisms, which mainly focused on regulating the permeability of BBB. Seven databases were searched from their inception to July 2018. The studies of borneol for ischemic stroke in animal models were included. RevMan 5.3 was applied for data analysis. Fifteen studies investigated the effects of borneol in experimental ischemic stroke involving 308 animals were ultimately identified. The present study showed that the administration of borneol exerted a significant decrease of BBB permeability during cerebral ischemic injury according to brain Evans blue content and brain water content compared with controls (P < 0.01). In addition, borneol could improve neurological function scores (NFS) and cerebral infarction area. Thus, borneol may be a promising neuroprotective agent for cerebral ischemic injury, largely through alleviating the BBB disruption, reducing oxidative reactions, inhibiting the occurrence of inflammation, inhibiting apoptosis, and improving the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) as well as P-glycoprotein (P-GP) and NO signaling pathway.

Abstract
TRPA1, a member of the transient receptor potential channel (TRP) family, is genetically linked to pain in humans, and small molecule inhibitors are efficacious in preclinical animal models of inflammatory pain. These findings have driven significant interest in development of selective TRPA1 inhibitors as potential analgesics. The majority of TRPA1 inhibitors characterized to date have been reported to interact with the S5 transmembrane helices forming part of the pore region of the channel. However, the development of many of these inhibitors as clinical drug candidates has been prevented by high lipophilicity, low solubility, and poor pharmacokinetic profiles. Identification of alternate compound interacting sites on TRPA1 provides the opportunity to develop structurally distinct modulators with novel structure-activity relationships and more desirable physiochemical properties. In this paper, we have identified a previously undescribed potent and selective small molecule thiadiazole structural class of TRPA1 inhibitor. Using species ortholog chimeric and mutagenesis strategies, we narrowed down the site of interaction to ankyrinR #6 within the distal N-terminal region of TRPA1. To identify the individual amino acid residues involved, we generated a computational model of the ankyrinR domain. This model was used predictively to identify three critical amino acids in human TRPA1, G238, N249, and K270, which were confirmed by mutagenesis to account for compound activity. These findings establish a small molecule interaction region on TRPA1, expanding potential avenues for developing TRPA1 inhibitor analgesics and for probing the mechanism of channel gating.

Abstract
1,8-cineole is a natural monoterpene cyclic ether present in eucalyptus and has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The therapeutic effects of 1,8-cineole on neuropathic pain and the molecular mechanisms of its pharmacological actions remain largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated the analgesic mechanisms of orally administered 1,8-cineole in a rat model of chronic constriction injury (CCI) and examined the drug-induced modulation of P2X3 receptor expression in dorsal root ganglia. The mechanical withdrawal threshold and thermal withdrawal latency were measured in rats to assess behavioural changes 7 and 14 days after CCI surgery. Changes in P2X3 receptor mRNA expression of L4-5 dorsal root ganglia were analysed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction at the 7th and 14th postoperative day. Additionally, we examined the expression of P2X3 receptor protein in L4-5 dorsal root ganglia 7 and 14 days after surgery using immunohistochemistry and western blots. We found that 1,8-cineole can alleviate pathological pain caused by P2X3 receptor stimulation and explored new methods for the prevention and treatment of neuropathic pain.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Himalayan paeony (Paeonia emodi Royle.) is an important species used to treat various diseases. This study aimed to compile the detailed traditional medicinal uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology and toxicological investigations on P. emodi. This study also highlights taxonomic validity, quality of experimental designs and shortcomings in previously reported information on Himalayan paeony. METHODS The data was extracted from unpublished theses (Pakistan, China, India and Nepal), and different published research articles confined to pharmacology, phytochemistry and antimicrobial activities using different databases through specific keywords. The relevant information regarding medicinal uses, taxonomic/common names, part used, collection and identification source, authentication, voucher specimen number, plant extracts and their characterization, isolation and identification of phytochemicals, methods of study in silico, in vivo or in vitro, model organism used, dose and duration, minimal active concentration, zone of inhibition (antimicrobial study), bioactive compound(s), mechanism of action on single or multiple targets, and toxicological information. RESULTS P. emodi is reported for diverse medicinal uses with pharmacological properties like antioxidant, nephroprotective, lipoxygenase inhibitory, cognition and oxidative stress release, cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, antiepileptic, anticonvulsant, haemaglutination, alpha-chymotrypsin inhibitory, hepatoprotective, hepatic chromes and pharmacokinetics of carbamazepine expression, β-glucuronidase inhibitory, spasmolytic and spasmogenic, and airway relaxant. Data confined to its taxonomic validity, shows 10% studies with correct taxonomic name while 90% studies with incorrect taxonomic, pharmacopeial and common names. The literature reviewed, shows lack of collection source (11 reports), without proper source of identification (15 reports), 33 studies without voucher specimen number, 26 reports lack information on authentic herbarium submission and most of the studies (90%) without validation of taxonomic names using recognized databases. In reported methods, 67% studies without characterization of extracts, 25% lack proper dose, 40% without duration and 31% reports lack information on proper controls. Similarly, only 18% studies reports active compound(s) responsible for pharmacological activities, 14% studies show minimal active concentration, only 2.5% studies report mechanism of action on target while none of the reports mentioned in silico approach. CONCLUSION P. emodi is endemic to Himalayan region (Pakistan, China, India and Nepal) with diverse traditional therapeutic uses. Majority of reviewed studies showed confusion in its taxonomic validity, incomplete methodologies and ambiguous findings. Keeping in view the immense uses of P. emodi in various traditional medicinal systems, holistic pharmacological approaches in combination with reverse pharmacology, system biology, and "omics" technologies are recommended to improve the quality of research which leads to natural drug discovery development at global perspectives.

Abstract
Bingpian is a time‐honored herb in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is an almost pure chemical with a chemical composition of (+)‐borneol and has been historically used as a topical analgesic for millennia. However, the clinical efficacy of topical borneol lacks stringent evidence‐based clinical studies and verifiable scientific mechanism. We examined the analgesic efficacy of topical borneol in a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled clinical study involving 122 patients with postoperative pain. Topical application of borneol led to significantly greater pain relief than placebo did. Using mouse models of pain, we identified the TRPM8 channel as a molecular target of borneol and showed that topical borneol‐induced analgesia was almost exclusively mediated by TRPM8, and involved a downstream glutamatergic mechanism in the spinal cord. Investigation of the actions of topical borneol and menthol revealed mechanistic differences between borneol‐ and menthol‐induced analgesia and indicated that borneol exhibits advantages over menthol as a topical analgesic. Our work demonstrates that borneol, which is currently approved by the US FDA to be used only as a flavoring substance or adjuvant in food, is an effective topical pain reliever in humans and reveals a key part of the molecular mechanism underlying its analgesic effect.

Abstract
Candida albicans can form biofilms composed of yeast, hyphal, and pseudohyphal elements, and C. albicans cells in the hyphal stage could be a virulence factor. The present study describes the chemical composition, antibiofilm, and antihyphal activities of cedar leaf essential oil (CLEO), which was found to possess remarkable antibiofilm activity against C. albicans but not to affect its planktonic cell growth. Nineteen components were identified in CLEO by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and phenolics were the main constituents. Of these, camphor, fenchone, fenchyl alcohol, α-thujone, and borneol significantly reduced C. albicans biofilm formation. Notably, treatments with CLEO, camphor, or fenchyl alcohol at 0.01% clearly inhibited hyphal formation, and this inhibition appeared to be largely responsible for their antibiofilm effects. Transcriptomic analyses indicated that camphor and fenchyl alcohol downregulated some hypha-specific and biofilm related genes (ECE1, ECE2, RBT1, and EED1). Furthermore, camphor and fenchyl alcohol reduced C. albicans virulence in a Caenorhabditis elegans nematode model. These results demonstrate CLEO, camphor, and fenchyl alcohol might be useful for controlling C. albicans infections.

Abstract
Hypotonic solutions can cause painful sensations in nasal and ocular mucosa through molecular mechanisms that are not entirely understood. We clarified the ability of human TRPA1 (hTRPA1) to respond to physical stimulus, and evaluated the response of hTRPA1 to cell swelling under hypotonic conditions. Using a Ca2+-imaging method, we found that modulation of AITC-induced hTRPA1 activity occurred under hypotonic conditions. Moreover, cell swelling in hypotonic conditions evoked single-channel activation of hTRPA1 in a cell-attached mode when the patch pipette was attached after cell swelling under hypotonic conditions, but not before swelling. Single-channel currents activated by cell swelling were also inhibited by a known hTRPA1 blocker. Since pre-application of thapsigargin or pretreatment with the calcium chelator BAPTA did not affect the single-channel activation induced by cell swelling, changes in intracellular calcium concentrations are likely not related to hTRPA1 activation induced by physical stimuli.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Eucalyptol (1,8-cineol), the major ingredient in the essential oil of eucalyptus leaves and other medicinal plants, has long been known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Eucalyptol interacts with the TRP cation channels among other targets, but it is unclear which of these mediates its anti-inflammatory effects. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Effects of eucalyptol were compared in wild-type and TRPM8 channel-deficient mice in two different models: footpad inflammation elicited by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) and pulmonary inflammation following administration of LPS. Oedema formation, behavioural inflammatory pain responses, leukocyte infiltration, enzyme activities and cytokine and chemokine levels were measured. KEY RESULTS In the CFA model, eucalyptol strongly attenuated oedema and mechanical allodynia and reduced levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6), effects comparable with those of ibuprofen. In the LPS model of pulmonary inflammation, eucalyptol treatment diminished leukocyte infiltration, myeloperoxidase activity and production of TNF-α, IL-1β, IFN-γ and IL-6. Genetic deletion of TRPM8 channels abolished the anti-inflammatory effects of eucalyptol in both models. Eucalyptol was at least sixfold more potent on human, than on mouse TRPM8 channels. A metabolite of eucalyptol, 2-hydroxy-1,8-cineol, also activated human TRPM8 channels. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Among the pharmacological targets of eucalyptol, TRPM8 channels were essential for its anti-inflammatory effects in mice. Human TRPM8 channels are more sensitive to eucalyptol than rodent TRPM8 channels explaining the higher potency of eucalyptol in humans. Metabolites of eucalyptol could contribute to its anti-inflammatory effects. The development of more potent and selective TRPM8 agonists may yield novel anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract
General anesthetics suppress CNS activity by modulating the function of membrane ion channels, in particular, by enhancing activity of GABAA receptors. In contrast, several volatile (isoflurane, desflurane) and i.v. (propofol) general anesthetics excite peripheral sensory nerves to cause pain and irritation upon administration. These noxious anesthetics activate transient receptor potential ankyrin repeat 1 (TRPA1), a major nociceptive ion channel, but the underlying mechanisms and site of action are unknown. Here we exploit the observation that pungent anesthetics activate mammalian but not Drosophila TRPA1. Analysis of chimeric Drosophila and mouse TRPA1 channels reveal a critical role for the fifth transmembrane domain (S5) in sensing anesthetics. Interestingly, we show that anesthetics share with the antagonist A-967079 a potential binding pocket lined by residues in the S5, S6, and the first pore helix; isoflurane competitively disrupts A-967079 antagonism, and introducing these mammalian TRPA1 residues into dTRPA1 recapitulates anesthetic agonism. Furthermore, molecular modeling predicts that isoflurane and propofol bind to this pocket by forming H-bond and halogen-bond interactions with Ser-876, Met-915, and Met-956. Mutagenizing Met-915 or Met-956 selectively abolishes activation by isoflurane and propofol without affecting actions of A-967079 or the agonist, menthol. Thus, our combined experimental and computational results reveal the potential binding mode of noxious general anesthetics at TRPA1. These data may provide a structural basis for designing drugs to counter the noxious and vasorelaxant properties of general anesthetics and may prove useful in understanding effects of anesthetics on related ion channels.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins are a family of ion channels that act as
cellular sensors. Several members of the TRP family are sensitive to oxidative stress mediators.
Among them, TRPA1 is remarkably susceptible to various oxidants, and is known to mediate
neuropathic pain and respiratory, vascular and gastrointestinal functions, making TRPA1 an
attractive therapeutic target. Recent studies have revealed a number of modulators (both activators and inhibitors) that act
on TRPA1. Endogenous mediators of oxidative stress and exogenous electrophiles activate TRPA1 through oxidative
modification of cysteine residues. Non-electrophilic compounds also activate TRPA1. Certain non-electrophilic
modulators may act on critical non-cysteine sites in TRPA1. However, a method to achieve selective modulation of
TRPA1 by small molecules has not yet been established. More recently, we found that a novel N-nitrosamine compound
activates TRPA1 by S-nitrosylation (the addition of a nitric oxide (NO) group to cysteine thiol), and does so with
significant selectivity over other NO-sensitive TRP channels. It is proposed that this subtype selectivity is conferred
through synergistic effects of electrophilic cysteine transnitrosylation and molecular recognition of the non-electrophilic
moiety on the N-nitrosamine. In this review, we describe the molecular pharmacology of these TRPA1 modulators and
discuss their modulatory mechanisms.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Aerial parts of Artemisia ludoviciana are widely used in Mexico for treating gastrointestinal disorders, painful complaints and diabetes. AIM OF THE STUDY To establish the preclinical efficacy as antinociceptive agent of the essential oil (EO) from the aerial parts of A. ludoviciana using well-known animal models. MATERIALS AND METHODS Acute antinociceptive effect of EO (1, 10, 31.6, 100, and 316mg/kg, i.p.) was evaluated using the hot plate and paw formalin models in mice. The motor effects were assessed with the rota-rod and open field assays. The volatile components obtained by headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and hydrodistillation were determined using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. RESULTS EO decreased first and second phases of formalin test; in the first stage, the better effect was obtained with the treatment of 316mg/kg but in the second phase, time licking was attenuated at the doses of 31.6, 100 and 316mg/kg. The effectiveness of EO (ED50=25.9mg/kg) for attenuating neurogenic pain was corroborated using the hot plate test. The antinociceptive action of EO was blocked by naloxone suggesting that its mode of action involved an opioid mechanism. Furthermore, EO (316mg/kg) did not affect animal motor and coordination functions when tested by the rota-rod and open field tests. The latter results indicated that the pharmacological effects exerted by EO during the hot plate and formalin test are truly antinociceptive. GC-MS analysis of EO revealed that (±)-camphor, γ-terpineol, 1,8-cineole and borneol were the major volatile compounds of the plant. CONCLUSION EO from A. ludoviciana showed significant antinociceptive effect, which appeared to be partially mediated by the opioid system. These findings could support the long-term use of A. ludoviciana for treating painful complaints in Mexican folk medicine.

Abstract
A new high-resolution structure of a pain-sensing ion channel, TRPA1, provides a molecular scaffold to understand channel function. Unexpected structural features include a TRP-domain helix similar to TRPV1, a novel ligand-binding site, and an unusual C-terminal coiled coil stabilized by inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6). TRP-domain helices, which structurally act as a nexus for communication between the channel gates and its other domains, may thus be a feature conserved across the entire TRP family and, possibly, other allosterically-gated channels. Similarly, the TRPA1 antagonist-binding site could also represent a druggable location in other ion channels. Combined with known TRPA1 functional properties, the structural role for IP6 leads us to propose that polyphosphate unbinding could act as a molecular kill switch for TRPA1 inactivation. Finally, although packing of the TRPA1 membrane-proximal region hints at a mechanism for electrophile sensing, the details of how TRPA1 responds to noxious reactive electrophiles and temperature await future studies.

Abstract
Monoterpenes are a structurally diverse group of phytochemicals and a major constituent of plant-derived 'essential oils'. Monoterpenes such as menthol, carvacrol, and eugenol have been utilized for therapeutical purposes and food additives for centuries and have been reported to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and analgesic actions. In recent years there has been increasing interest in understanding the pharmacological actions of these molecules. There is evidence indicating that monoterpenes can modulate the functional properties of several types of voltage and ligand-gated ion channels, suggesting that some of their pharmacological actions may be mediated by modulations of ion channel function. In this report, we review the literature concerning the interaction of monoterpenes with various ion channels.

Abstract
Chronic pain is a major public health problem categorized as inflammatory or neuropathic, each involving impaired GABAergic control in the spinal cord of mammals. (+)-Borneol, a bicyclic monoterpene present in the essential oil of plants, is used for analgesia and anesthesia in traditional Chinese medicine. It has been reported that (+)-borneol directly potentiates GABA activity at recombinant human GABAA receptors. Although borneol has antinociceptive effect on acute pain models, little is known about its effect on chronic pain and its mechanism. Here we report that (+)-borneol has remarkable anti-hyperalgesic effects on neuropathic and inflammatory pain in animal models. Neuropathic hypersensitivity was induced by segmental spinal nerve ligation (SNL), and inflammatory hypersensitivity was induced by intraplantar (i.pl.) injection of complete Freund׳s adjuvant (CFA). Both oral administration (125, 250 or 500 mg/kg) and intrathecal injection (i.t.) (15, 30 and 60 μg) of (+)-borneol reduced mechanical hypersensitivity dose-dependently in SNL and CFA models. The anti-hyperalgesic effects of (+)-borneol were abolished by a selective GABAA receptor (GABAAR) antagonist bicuculline (i.t., at 30 min after (+)-borneol injection). Furthermore, (+)-borneol (500 mg/kg, p.o. or 60 μg, i.t.) did not influence motor function. These findings suggest that (+)-borneol may ameliorate mechanical hyperalgesia by enhancing GABAAR-mediated GABAergic transmission in the spinal cord, and could serve as a therapeutic for chronic pain.

Abstract
Asiaticoside (AS), a triterpene glycoside isolated from Centella asiatica, has been shown to possess potent anti-inflammatory activity. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms of AS on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) model in mice are scanty. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of AS on LPS-induced mouse ALI via down-regulation of NF-κB signaling pathway. We investigated the efficacy of AS on cytokine levels induced by LPS in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and RAW 264.7 cells. The production of cytokine (TNF-α and IL-6) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The lung wet-to-dry weight ratios were measured in LPS-challenged mice, and lung histopathologic changes observed via paraffin section were assessed. To further study the mechanism of AS protective effects on ALI, the activation of NF-κB p65 subunit and the degradation of IκBα were tested by western blot assay. We found that AS treatment at 15, 30 or 45mg/kg dose-dependently attenuated LPS-induced pulmonary inflammation by reducing inflammatory infiltration, histopathological changes, descended cytokine production, and pulmonary edema initiated by LPS. Furthermore, our results suggested that AS suppressed inflammatory responses in LPS-induced ALI through inhibition of the phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 subunit and the degradation of its inhibitor IκBα, and might be a new preventive agent of ALI in the clinical setting.

Allergy Asthma Clin Immunol 2015; 11:11. [PMID: 25897313 PMCID: PMC4404258 DOI: 10.1186/s13223-015-0074-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2014] [Accepted: 02/18/2015] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
TRPA1 has been proposed to be associated with diverse sensory allergic reactions, including thermal (cold) nociception, hearing and allergic inflammatory conditions. Some naturally occurring compounds are known to activate TRPA1 by forming a Michael addition product with a cysteine residue of TRPA1 through covalent protein modification and, in consequence, to cause allergic reactions. The anti-allergic property of TRPA1 agonists may be due to the activation and subsequent desensitization of TRPA1 expressed in sensory neurons. In this review, naturally occurring TRPA1 antagonists, such as camphor, 1,8-cineole, menthol, borneol, fenchyl alcohol and 2-methylisoborneol, and TRPA1 agonists, including thymol, carvacrol, 1'S-1'- acetoxychavicol acetate, cinnamaldehyde, α-n-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde and thymoquinone as well as isothiocyanates and sulfides are discussed.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a calcium-permeable non-selective cation channel that is activated by various noxious or irritant substances in nature, including spicy compounds. Many TRPA1 chemical activators have been reported; however, only limited information is available regarding the amino acid residues that contribute to the activation by non-electrophilic activators, whereas activation mechanisms by electrophilic ligands have been well characterized. We used intracellular Ca(2+) measurements and whole-cell patch clamp recordings to show that eudesmol, an oxygenated sesquiterpene present at high concentrations in the essential oil of hop cultivar Hallertau Hersbrucker, could activate human TRPA1. Gradual activation of inward currents with outward rectification by eudesmol was observed in human embryonic kidney-derived 293 cells expressing human TRPA1. This activation was completely blocked by a TRPA1-specific inhibitor, HC03-0031. We identified three critical amino acid residues in human TRPA1 in putative transmembrane domains 3, 4, and 5, namely threonine at 813, tyrosine at 840, and serine at 873, for activation by β-eudesmol in a systematic mutational study. Our results revealed a new TRPA1 activator in hop essential oil and provide a novel insight into mechanisms of human TRPA1 activation by non-electrophilic chemicals.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels play important roles in thermal, chemical, and mechanical sensation in various tissues. In this study, we investigated the differences in urothelial TRP channels between normal urothelial cells and bladder cancer cells. TRPV2 and TRPM7 expression levels and TRPV2 activator-induced intracellular Ca(2+) increases were significantly higher, whereas TRPV4 expression and TRPV4 activator-induced intracellular Ca(2+) increases were significantly lower in mouse bladder cancer (MBT-2) cells compared to normal mouse urothelial cells. The proliferation rate of MBT-2 cells overexpressing dominant-negative TRPV2 was significantly increased. In contrast, treatment with TRPV2 activators significantly decreased the proliferation rate. TRPM7-overexpressing MBT-2 cells proliferated more slowly, as compared to mock-transfected cells. Moreover, expression of dominant-negative TRPV2 significantly decreased plasma membrane Ca(2+) permeability of MBT-2 cells as compared to that in mock-transfected cells. Increases in the expression of TRPV2 mRNA, immunoreactivity, and TRPV2 activator-induced intracellular Ca(2+) were also observed in T24 human bladder cancer cells. These results suggested that TRPV2 and TRPM7 were functionally expressed in bladder cancer cells and served as negative regulators of bladder cancer cell proliferation, most likely to prevent excess mechanical stresses.
