Maximiano TKE, Carneiro JA, Fattori V, Verri WA. TRPV1: Receptor structure, activation, modulation and role in neuro-immune interactions and pain. Cell Calcium 2024; 119:102870.

Abstract
In the 1990s, the identification of a non-selective ion channel, especially responsive to capsaicin, revolutionized the studies of somatosensation and pain that were to follow. The TRPV1 channel is expressed mainly in neuronal cells, more specifically, in sensory neurons responsible for the perception of noxious stimuli. However, its presence has also been detected in other non-neuronal cells, such as immune cells, β- pancreatic cells, muscle cells and adipocytes. Activation of the channel occurs in response to a wide range of stimuli, such as noxious heat, low pH, gasses, toxins, endocannabinoids, lipid-derived endovanilloid, and chemical agents, such as capsaicin and resiniferatoxin. This activation results in an influx of cations through the channel pore, especially calcium. Intracellular calcium triggers different responses in sensory neurons. Dephosphorylation of the TRPV1 channel leads to its desensitization, which disrupts its function, while its phosphorylation increases the channel's sensitization and contributes to the channel's rehabilitation after desensitization. Kinases, phosphoinositides, and calmodulin are the main signaling pathways responsible for the channel's regulation. Thus, in this review we provide an overview of TRPV1 discovery, its tissue expression as well as on the mechanisms by which TRPV1 activation (directly or indirectly) induces pain in different disease models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inactivation of sensory neurons expressing transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) enhances breast cancer metastasis. Sensory neurons have profound effects on immune response to a wide range of diseases including cancer. Hence, activation of sensory nerves using feasible approaches such as specific TRPV1 agonists may inhibit breast cancer metastasis through neuroimmune pathways. TRPV1 agonists are considered for the treatment of pain and inflammatory diseases. METHODS We here first determined the effects of four different TRPV1 agonists on proliferation of three different metastatic breast carcinoma cells since TRPV1 is also expressed in cancer cells. Based on the results obtained under in-vitro conditions, brain metastatic breast carcinoma cells (4TBM) implanted orthotopically into the mammary-pad of Balb-c mice followed by olvanil treatment (i.p.). Changes in tumor growth, metastasis and immune response to cancer cells were determined. RESULTS Olvanil dose-dependently activated sensory nerve fibers and markedly suppressed lung and liver metastasis without altering the growth of primary tumors. Olvanil (5 mg/kg) systemically increased T cell count, enhanced intra-tumoral recruitment of CD8+ T cells and increased IFN-γ response to irradiated cancer cells and Con-A. Anti-inflammatory changes such as increased IL-10 and decrease IL-6 as well as S100A8+ cells were observed following olvanil treatment. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that anti-metastatic effects of olvanil is mainly due to activation of neuro-immune pathways since olvanil dose used here is not high enough to directly activate immune cells. Furthermore, olvanil effectively depletes sensory neuropeptides; hence, olvanil is a good non-pungent alternative to capsaicin.

Effects of in-vitro modulation of TRPV1 activity on immune response of mice bearing metastatic breast carcinoma: Enhanced inflammatory response may hinder therapeutic potentials of TRPV1 agonists. Life Sci 2021; 287:120115. [PMID: 34740578 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2021.120115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2021] [Revised: 10/12/2021] [Accepted: 10/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) ion channels inhibits inflammation, enhance cytotoxic immune response, and may have therapeutic potential in treatment of cancer characterized by increased systemic inflammation. We here determined how activation of TRPV1 alters immune response of tumor-bearing mice. MAIN METHODS Three different metastatic subset of 4 T1 breast carcinoma cells were used to induce tumors in Balb-c mice. Mix leukocyte cultures (MLCs) using spleens and draining lymph nodes were prepared and stimulated with various challenges. Effects TRPV1 agonists including capsaicin, antagonist (AMG9810) and Gambogic Amide (GA), a TrkA agonist that sensitizes TRPV1, on secreted levels of cytokines were determined. KEY FINDINGS MLCs of tumor-bearing mice secreted markedly higher levels of IL-6 and lower levels of IFN-γ compared to control mice. We observed differential effects of TRPV1 agonists in control and mice bearing different subset of metastatic cells. TRPV1 increased IFN-γ and IL-17 secretion in control mice while they markedly increased IL-6 secretion and suppressed IFN--γ secretion in tumor-bearing mice. Unexpectedly, AMG9810 acted as an inverse agonist and did not antagonize the effects of TRPV1 agonists. SIGNIFICANCE Our results demonstrate constitutive activity of TRPV1 in immune cells, suggesting cross activation. To prevent excessive chronic activation of TRPV1 in immune cells in the presence of metastatic breast carcinoma, lower doses of TRPV1 agonist should be considered. Unexpected findings further document that a drug can have multiple intrinsic activities depending on surrounding factors can act on the same receptor as an agonist, antagonist or inverse agonist.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) activation by capsaicin binding increased intracellular calcium influx and stimulated adipocyte-to-adipocyte communication, leading to lipolysis. Generally, enhancement of π-stacking capabilities improves certain binding interactions. Notably, nitroarenes exhibit strong binding interactions with aromatic amino acid side chains in proteins. New capsaicinoid analogs were designed by substitution of the OCH3 group with a nitrogen dioxide (NO2) group on the vanillyl ring to investigate how π-stacking interactions in capsaicinoid analogs contribute to lipolysis. Capsaicinoid analogs, nitro capsaicin (5), and nitro dihydrocapsaicin (6) were prepared in moderate yields via coupling of a nitroaromatic amine salt and fatty acids. Oil Red O staining and triglyceride assays with 10 µM loading of capsaicin (CAP), dihydrocapsaicin (DHC), 5, and 6 were performed to investigate their effect on lipolysis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Both assay results indicated that 5 and 6 decreased lipid accumulation by 13.6% and 14.7%, respectively, and significantly reduced triglyceride content by 26.9% and 28.4%, respectively, in comparison with the control experiment. Furthermore, the decrease in triglyceride content observed in response to nitroarene capsaicinoid analogs was approximately 2-folds higher than that of CAP and DHC. These results arose from the NO2 group augmented π-π stacking with Tyr511 and the attractive charge interaction with Glu570 affecting binding interactions with TRPV1 receptors.

Abstract
Antagonists of the transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) channel alter body temperature (Tb) in laboratory animals and humans: most cause hyperthermia; some produce hypothermia; and yet others have no effect. TRPV1 can be activated by capsaicin (CAP), protons (low pH), and heat. First-generation (polymodal) TRPV1 antagonists potently block all three TRPV1 activation modes. Second-generation (mode-selective) TRPV1 antagonists potently block channel activation by CAP, but exert different effects (e.g., potentiation, no effect, or low-potency inhibition) in the proton mode, heat mode, or both. Based on our earlier studies in rats, only one mode of TRPV1 activation - by protons - is involved in thermoregulatory responses to TRPV1 antagonists. In rats, compounds that potently block, potentiate, or have no effect on proton activation cause hyperthermia, hypothermia, or no effect on Tb, respectively. A Tb response occurs when a TRPV1 antagonist blocks (in case of hyperthermia) or potentiates (hypothermia) the tonic TRPV1 activation by protons somewhere in the trunk, perhaps in muscles, and - via the acido-antithermogenic and acido-antivasoconstrictor reflexes - modulates thermogenesis and skin vasoconstriction. In this work, we used a mathematical model to analyze Tb data from human clinical trials of TRPV1 antagonists. The analysis suggests that, in humans, the hyperthermic effect depends on the antagonist's potency to block TRPV1 activation not only by protons, but also by heat, while the CAP activation mode is uninvolved. Whereas in rats TRPV1 drives thermoeffectors by mediating pH signals from the trunk, but not Tb signals, our analysis suggests that TRPV1 mediates both pH and thermal signals driving thermoregulation in humans. Hence, in humans (but not in rats), TRPV1 is likely to serve as a thermosensor of the thermoregulation system. We also conducted a meta-analysis of Tb data from human trials and found that polymodal TRPV1 antagonists (ABT-102, AZD1386, and V116517) increase Tb, whereas the mode-selective blocker NEO6860 does not. Several strategies of harnessing the thermoregulatory effects of TRPV1 antagonists in humans are discussed.

Abstract
N-arachidonoyl dopamine (NADA) is a member of the family of endocannabinoids to which several other N-acyldopamines belong as well. Their activity is mediated through various targets that include cannabinoid receptors or transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV)1. Synthesis and degradation of NADA are not yet fully understood. Nonetheless, there is evidence that NADA plays an important role in nociception and inflammation in the central and peripheral nervous system. The TRPV1 receptor, for which NADA is a potent agonist, was shown to be an endogenous transducer of noxious heat. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that NADA exerts protective and antioxidative properties in microglial cell cultures, cortical neurons, and organotypical hippocampal slice cultures. NADA is present in very low concentrations in the brain and is seemingly not involved in activation of the classical pathways. We believe that treatment with exogenous NADA during and after injury might be beneficial. This review summarizes the recent findings on biochemical properties of NADA and other N-acyldopamines and their role in physiological and pathological processes. These findings provide strong evidence that NADA is an effective agent to manage neuroinflammatory diseases or pain and can be useful in designing novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is a possible pathogenesis of hyperalgesia. Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs), a new family of oxidized protein compounds, have been considered as a novel marker of oxidative stress. However, the role of AOPPs in the mechanism of hyperalgesia remains unknown. Our study aims to investigate whether AOPPs have an effect on hyperalgesia and the possible underlying mechanisms. To identify the AOPPs involved, we induced hyperalgesia in rats by injecting complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) in hindpaw. The level of plasma AOPPs in CFA-induced rats was 1.6-fold in comparison with what in normal rats (P<0.05). After intravenous injection of AOPPs-modified rat serum albumin (AOPPs-RSA) in Sprague-Dawley rats, the paw mechanical thresholds, measured by the electronic von Frey system, significantly declined. Immunofluorescence staining indicated that AOPPs increased expressions of NADPH oxidase 1 (Nox1), NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4), transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) tissues. In-vitro studies were performed on primary DRG neurons which were obtained from both thoracic and lumbar DRG of rats. Results indicated that AOPPs triggered reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in DRG neurons, which were significantly abolished by ROS scavenger N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) and small-interfering RNA (siRNA) silencing of Nox1 or Nox4. The expressions of Nox1, Nox4, TRPV1 and CGRP were significantly increased in AOPPs-induced DRG neurons. And relevant siRNA or inhibitors notably suppressed the expressions of these proteins and the calcium influxes in AOPPs-induced DRG neurons. In conclusion, AOPPs increased significantly in CFA-induced hyperalgesia rats and they activated Nox1/Nox4-ROS to sensitize TRPV1-dependent Ca2+ influx and CGRP release which led to inducing mechanical hyperalgesia.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) channel is involved in the development and maintenance of pain and participates in the regulation of temperature. The channel is activated by diverse agents, including capsaicin, noxious heat (≥ 43°C), acidic pH (< 6), and endogenous lipids including N-arachidonoyl dopamine (NADA). Antagonists that block all modes of TRPV1 activation elicit hyperthermia. To identify efficacious TRPV1 antagonists that do not affect temperature antagonists representing multiple TRPV1 pharmacophores were evaluated at recombinant rat and human TRPV1 channels with Ca(2+) flux assays, and two classes of antagonists were identified based on their differential ability to inhibit acid activation. Although both classes of antagonists completely blocked capsaicin- and NADA-induced activation of TRPV1, select compounds only partially inhibited activation of the channel by protons. Electrophysiology and calcitonin gene-related peptide release studies confirmed the differential pharmacology of these antagonists at native TRPV1 channels in the rat. Comparison of the in vitro pharmacological properties of these TRPV1 antagonists with their in vivo effects on core body temperature confirms and expands earlier observations that acid-sparing TRPV1 antagonists do not significantly increase core body temperature. Although both classes of compounds elicit equivalent analgesia in a rat model of knee joint pain, the acid-sparing antagonist tested is not effective in a mouse model of bone cancer pain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The effects of hydrocortisone sodium succinate on voltage-gated sodium current (I(Na)) were investigated by using the patch-clamp technique in trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons of rat. METHODS I(Na) was recorded by whole-cell patch-clamp techniques after different concentrations of hydrocortisone sodium succinate were perfused in TG neurons of rat. RESULTS The results showed that hydrocortisone sodium succinate could inhibit I(Na) in concentration-dependent manner. Hydrocortisone sodium succinate 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3 μmol/l reduced I(Na) by 19.4±4.3, 26.7±3.9, 38.1±6.1, 69.6±5.4% respectively. The IC(50) was 1.58 μmol/l. This inhibitory effect occurred quickly (within 1 minute). However, hydrocortisone sodium succinate had no significant effect on the activation and inactivation courses of I(Na). CONCLUSION It is suggested that the rapid inhibition of I(Na) in TG neurons by hydrocortisone sodium succinate is probably related to non-genomic effect. This inhibition might participate in the relaxation of pain in some emergency states.

Abstract
There are at least two types of cannabinoid receptors (CB(1) and CB(2)). Ligands activating these G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) include the phytocannabinoid Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol, numerous synthetic compounds, and endogenous compounds known as endocannabinoids. Cannabinoid receptor antagonists have also been developed. Some of these ligands activate or block one type of cannabinoid receptor more potently than the other type. This review summarizes current data indicating the extent to which cannabinoid receptor ligands undergo orthosteric or allosteric interactions with non-CB(1), non-CB(2) established GPCRs, deorphanized receptors such as GPR55, ligand-gated ion channels, transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, and other ion channels or peroxisome proliferator-activated nuclear receptors. From these data, it is clear that some ligands that interact similarly with CB(1) and/or CB(2) receptors are likely to display significantly different pharmacological profiles. The review also lists some criteria that any novel "CB(3)" cannabinoid receptor or channel should fulfil and concludes that these criteria are not currently met by any non-CB(1), non-CB(2) pharmacological receptor or channel. However, it does identify certain pharmacological targets that should be investigated further as potential CB(3) receptors or channels. These include TRP vanilloid 1, which possibly functions as an ionotropic cannabinoid receptor under physiological and/or pathological conditions, and some deorphanized GPCRs. Also discussed are 1) the ability of CB(1) receptors to form heteromeric complexes with certain other GPCRs, 2) phylogenetic relationships that exist between CB(1)/CB(2) receptors and other GPCRs, 3) evidence for the existence of several as-yet-uncharacterized non-CB(1), non-CB(2) cannabinoid receptors; and 4) current cannabinoid receptor nomenclature.

Abstract
In the present study, we subclassified acutely dissociated trigeminal ganglion (TRG) cells of rats using a current signature method in whole cell patch-clamp recordings. Using modified criteria for cell classification for the dorsal root ganglion (DRG), TRG cells were subclassified into nine cell types: 1-5, 7-9, and 13. Types 1, 3, and 7 were in the small cell groups (15-24 μm); types 4, 5, and 8-13 were in the medium cell groups (25-38 μm); and type 2 was a mixed group of both cell sizes. Types 1-3, 5, and 7 showed high-input resistance and types 1, 2, and 7 showed more depolarized resting membrane potentials. Types 1, 2, and 5-13 expressed long-duration action potentials (APs), but types 3 and 4 expressed short-duration APs. Sensitivities to capsaicin, protons, and adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) in TRG cell types largely corresponded to DRG cell types. However, different from the matched DRG types, half of TRG type 1 cells were capsaicin insensitive, showing desensitizing proton-induced currents, and types 5, 7, and 9 exhibited slow-desensitizing ATP-induced currents. Types 4, 5, and 8-13 had nicotine sensitivity, but the other cell types were insensitive. These results indicate that the "current signatures" classification is a useful means to separate TRG cells into internally homogeneous subpopulations that were distinct from other cell types. Furthermore, the data suggest some specific differences in the chemical responsiveness of some cell types between the TRG and DRG.

Differential effects of temperature on acid-activated currents mediated by TRPV1 and ASIC channels in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons. Brain Res 2010; 1329:55-66. [PMID: 20206612 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2010.02.064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2009] [Revised: 01/28/2010] [Accepted: 02/21/2010] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Elevated temperature and decreased extracellular pH are hallmarks of inflammatory pain states. Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons are integral in transferring painful stimuli from the periphery to central sites. This study investigated the effect of elevated temperatures on the response of DRG neurons to acute application of acidic solutions. At room temperature (22 degrees C), in response to pH 5.5, there were a variety of kinetic responses consistent with differential expression of TRPV1 and ASIC channels. Increasing the temperature resulted in a significant increase in the peak and total current mediated by TRPV1 in response to an acidic solution. In contrast, the amplitude of a fast activating, rapidly inactivating ASIC1-like current was not affected by increasing the temperature but did result in an increased rate of desensitization that reduced the total current level. This effect on the rate of desensitization was temperature-dependent and could be reversed by returning to 22 degrees C. Likewise, cells exhibiting slowly inactivating ASIC2-like responses also had temperature-dependent increase in the rate of desensitization. The ASIC2-like responses and the TRPV1 responses tended to decrease in amplitude with repetitive application of pH 5.5 even at 22 degrees C. The rate of desensitization of ASIC-like currents activated by less acidic solutions (pH 6.8) was also increased in a temperature-dependent manner. Finally, acidic pH reduced threshold to trigger action potentials, however, the pattern of action potential firing was shaped by the distribution of ASIC and TRPV1 channels. These results indicate that the ambient temperature at which acidosis occurs has a profound effect on the contribution of ASIC and TRPV1 channels, therefore, altering the neuronal excitability.
