Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), such as naringin (NG), Eucommiol, isopsoralen, icariin, Astragalus polysaccharides, and chondroitin sulfate, contained in Drynariae Rhizoma, Eucommiae Cortex, Psoralea corylifolia, Herba Epimedii, Astragalus radix and deer antler, are considered promising candidates for enhancing the healing of osteoporotic defects due to their outstanding bone homeostasis regulating properties. They are commonly used to activate bone repair scaffolds. AIM OF THE REVIEW Bone repair scaffolds are inadequate to meet the demands of osteoporotic defect healing due to the lack of regulation of bone homeostasis. Therefore, selecting bone scaffolds activated with TCM to improve the therapeutic effect of repairing osteoporotic bone defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS To gather information on bone scaffold activated by traditional Chinese medicine, we conducted a thorough search of several scientific databases, including Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scifinder, Baidu Scholar, PubMed, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). RESULTS This review discusses the mechanism of TCM active ingredients in regulating bone homeostasis, including stimulating bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption process and the healing mechanism of traditional bone repair scaffolds activated by them for osteoporotic defect healing. CONCLUSION In general, the introduction of TCM active ingredients provides a novel therapeutic approach for modulating bone homeostasis and facilitating osteoporotic defect healing, and also offers a new strategy for design of other unconventional bone defect healing materials.

[PMID: 38333756 PMCID: PMC10849207 DOI: 10.22038/ijbms.2023.74590.16198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
Ischemic disorders, including myocardial infarction, cerebral ischemia, and peripheral vascular impairment, are the main common reasons for debilitating diseases and death in Western cultures. Ischemia occurs when blood circulation is reduced in tissues. Reperfusion, although commanded to return oxygen to ischemic tissues, generates paradoxical tissue responses. The responses include generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), stimulating inflammatory responses in ischemic organs, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and the expansion of postischemic capillary no-reflow, which intensifies organ damage. Multiple pathologic processes contribute to ischemia/reperfusion; therefore, targeting different pathologic processes may yield an effective therapeutic approach. Transient Receptor Potential A1 (TRPA1) belongs to the TRP family of ion channels, detects a broad range of chemicals, and promotes the transduction of noxious stimuli, e.g., methylglyoxal, ROS, and acrolein effects are attributed to the channel's sensitivity to intracellular calcium elevation or phosphoinositol phosphate modulation. Hypoxia and ischemia are associated with oxidative stress, which activates the TRPA1 channel. This review describes the role of TRPA1 and its related mechanisms that contribute to ischemia/reperfusion. Relevant articles were searched from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences, and Google Scholar electronic databases, up to the end of August 2023. Based on the evidence presented here, TRPA1 may have protective or deteriorative functions during the ischemia/reperfusion process. Its function depends on the activation level, the ischemic region, the extent of lesions, and the duration of ischemia.

Allyl Isothiocianate Induces Ca 2+ Signals and Nitric Oxide Release by Inducing Reactive Oxygen Species Production in the Human Cerebrovascular Endothelial Cell Line hCMEC/D3. Cells 2023; 12:1732. [PMID: 37443764 PMCID: PMC10340171 DOI: 10.3390/cells12131732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) represents a crucial mediator to regulate cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the human brain both under basal conditions and in response to somatosensory stimulation. An increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) stimulates the endothelial NO synthase to produce NO in human cerebrovascular endothelial cells. Therefore, targeting the endothelial ion channel machinery could represent a promising strategy to rescue endothelial NO signalling in traumatic brain injury and neurodegenerative disorders. Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), a major active constituent of cruciferous vegetables, was found to increase CBF in non-human preclinical models, but it is still unknown whether it stimulates NO release in human brain capillary endothelial cells. In the present investigation, we showed that AITC evoked a Ca2+-dependent NO release in the human cerebrovascular endothelial cell line, hCMEC/D3. The Ca2+ response to AITC was shaped by both intra- and extracellular Ca2+ sources, although it was insensitive to the pharmacological blockade of transient receptor potential ankyrin 1, which is regarded to be among the main molecular targets of AITC. In accord, AITC failed to induce transmembrane currents or to elicit membrane hyperpolarization, although NS309, a selective opener of the small- and intermediate-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels, induced a significant membrane hyperpolarization. The AITC-evoked Ca2+ signal was triggered by the production of cytosolic, but not mitochondrial, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and was supported by store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). Conversely, the Ca2+ response to AITC did not require Ca2+ mobilization from the endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes or mitochondria. However, pharmacological manipulation revealed that AITC-dependent ROS generation inhibited plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) activity, thereby attenuating Ca2+ removal across the plasma membrane and resulting in a sustained increase in [Ca2+]i. In accord, the AITC-evoked NO release was driven by ROS generation and required ROS-dependent inhibition of PMCA activity. These data suggest that AITC could be exploited to restore NO signalling and restore CBF in brain disorders that feature neurovascular dysfunction.

TRPA1 as Target in Myocardial Infarction. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032516. [PMID: 36768836 PMCID: PMC9917254 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24032516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily A member 1 (TRPA1), an ion channel primarily expressed on sensory neurons, can be activated by substances occurring during myocardial infarction. Aims were to investigate whether activation, inhibition, or absence of TRPA1 affects infarcts and to explore underlying mechanisms. In the context of myocardial infarction, rats received a TRPA1 agonist, an antagonist, or vehicle at different time points, and infarct size was assessed. Wild type and TRPA1 knockout mice were also compared in this regard. In vitro, sensory neurons were co-cultured with cardiomyocytes and subjected to a model of ischemia-reperfusion. Although there was a difference between TRPA1 activation or inhibition in vivo, no experimental group was different to control animals in infarct size, which also applies to animals lacking TRPA1. In vitro, survival probability of cardiomyocytes challenged by ischemia-reperfusion increased from 32.8% in absence to 45.1% in presence of sensory neurons, which depends, at least partly, on TRPA1. This study raises doubts about whether TRPA1 is a promising target to reduce myocardial damage within a 24 h period. The results are incompatible with relevant enlargements of infarcts by TRPA1 activation or inhibition, which argues against adverse effects when TRPA1 is targeted for other indications.

Abstract
Burn injuries are underappreciated injuries associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation has dramatic clinical effects in humans and is a significant public health concern. Although the mechanisms underlying UVB exposure are not fully understood, many studies have made substantial progress in the pathophysiology of sunburn in terms of its molecular aspects in the last few years. It is well established that the transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), and vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channels modulate the inflammatory, oxidative, and proliferative processes underlying UVB radiation exposure. However, it is still unknown which mechanisms underlying TRPV1/A1 channel activation are elicited in sunburn induced by UVB radiation. Therefore, in this review, we give an overview of the TRPV1/A1 channel-mediated signalling cascades that may be involved in the pathophysiology of sunburn induced by UVB radiation. These data will undoubtedly help to explain the various features of sunburn and contribute to the development of novel therapeutic approaches to better treat it.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) affects >30 million Americans and nearly 70% of individuals with T2D will die from cardiovascular disease (CVD). Circulating levels of the inflammatory signaling lipid, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ), are elevated in the setting of obesity and T2D and are associated with decreased cardiac function. The EP3 and EP4 PGE2 receptors have opposing actions in several tissues, including the heart: overexpression of EP3 in cardiomyocytes impairs function, while EP4 overexpression improves function. Here we performed complementary studies in vitro with isolated cardiomyocytes and in vivo using db/db mice, a model of T2D, to analyze the effects of EP3 inhibition or EP4 activation on cardiac function. Using echocardiography, we found that 2 weeks of systemic treatment of db/db mice with 20 mg/kg of EP3 antagonist, beginning at 6 weeks of age, improves ejection fraction and fractional shortening (with no effect on heart rate). We further show that either EP3 blockade or EP4 activation enhances contractility and calcium cycling in isolated mouse cardiomyocytes cultured in both normal and high glucose. Thus, peak [Ca2+ ]I transient amplitude was increased, while time to peak [Ca2+ ]I and [Ca2+ ]I decay were decreased. These data suggest that modulation of EP3 and EP4 activity has beneficial effects on cardiomyocyte contractility and overall heart function.

Energy-sparing by 2-methyl-2-thiazoline protects heart from ischaemia/reperfusion injury. ESC Heart Fail 2021; 9:428-441. [PMID: 34854235 PMCID: PMC8787978 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.13732] [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: 07/10/2021] [Revised: 10/13/2021] [Accepted: 11/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS Cardiac ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remains a critical issue in the therapeutic management of ischaemic heart failure. Although mild hypothermia has a protective effect on cardiac I/R injury, more rapid and safe methods that can obtain similar results to hypothermia therapy are required. 2-Methyl-2-thiazoline (2MT), an innate fear inducer, causes mild hypothermia resulting in resistance to critical hypoxia in cutaneous or cerebral I/R injury. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the protective effect of systemically administered 2MT on cardiac I/R injury and to elucidate the mechanism underlying this effect. METHODS AND RESULTS A single subcutaneous injection of 2MT (50 mg/kg) was given prior to reperfusion of the I/R injured 10 week-old male mouse heart and its efficacy was evaluated 24 h after the ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. 2MT preserved left ventricular systolic function following I/R injury (ejection fraction, %: control 37.9 ± 6.7, 2MT 54.1 ± 6.4, P < 0.01). 2MT also decreased infarct size (infarct size/ischaemic area at risk, %: control 48.3 ± 12.1, 2MT 25.6 ± 4.2, P < 0.05) and serum cardiac troponin levels (ng/mL: control 8.9 ± 1.1, 2MT 1.9 ± 0.1, P < 0.01) after I/R. Moreover, 2MT reduced the oxidative stress-exposed area within the heart (%: control 25.3 ± 4.7, 2MT 10.8 ± 1.4, P < 0.01). These results were supported by microarray analysis of the mouse hearts. 2MT induced a transient, mild decrease in core body temperature (°C: -2.4 ± 1.4), which gradually recovered over several hours. Metabolome analysis of the mouse hearts suggested that 2MT minimized energy metabolism towards suppressing oxidative stress. Furthermore, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging revealed that 2MT reduced the activity of brown adipose tissue (standardized uptake value: control 24.3 ± 6.4, 2MT 18.4 ± 5.8, P < 0.05). 2MT also inhibited mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis in rat cardiomyoblasts. CONCLUSIONS We identified the cardioprotective effect of systemically administered 2MT on cardiac I/R injury by sparing energy metabolism with reversible hypothermia. Our results highlight the potential of drug-induced hypothermia therapy as an adjunct to coronary intervention in severe ischaemic heart disease.

Abstract
Oxidative stress plays a key role in age-related vascular disease. The present study aimed to investigate the role of an antioxidant channel, transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), in age-related endothelial dysfunction. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were grown to induce replicative senescence, and 6-month-old young, 12-month-old middle-aged, and 24-month-old aged mice were used. TRPA1 was downregulated in senescent HUVECs, so were endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2). Activating TRPA1 with cinnamaldehyde prevented downregulation of eNOS, Nrf2, and UCP2, inhibited superoxide production and apoptosis, and preserved nitric oxide bioavailability in senescent HUVECs. TRPA1, phosphorylated eNOS, Nrf2 and UCP2 were significantly downregulated in aged aortas compared with young aortas after a compensatory upregulation in middle-aged aortas. Dietary administration of cinnamaldehyde for 12 months prevented mitochondrial dysfunction, improved endothelium-dependent relaxation, and increased expression of eNOS, Nrf2, and UCP2 in aged aortas. Importantly, the effects of cinnamaldehyde can be blocked by a TRPA1 antagonist HC-030031. These findings suggest that TRPA1 may play a critical role in age-related endothelial dysfunction and may become a therapeutic target for the treatment and prevention of age-related vascular disease.

Abstract
AIM There is mounting evidence that TRPA1 has a role in cardiac physiology and pathophysiology. We aim to clarify the site of TRPA1 expression in the heart and in particular whether the channel is expressed in cardiomyocytes. METHODS Due to the high calcium conductance of TRPA1, and marginal calcium changes being detectable, microfluorimetry in primary mouse cardiomyocytes, and in the cardiomyocyte cell lines H9c2 and HL-1, was applied. TRPA1 mRNA in mouse and human hearts, primary cardiomyocytes, and the cardiac cell lines were quantified. Dorsal root ganglia served as control for both methods. RESULTS In addition to AITC, the more potent and specific TRPA1 agonists JT010 and PF-4840154 failed to elicit a TRPA1-mediated response in native and electrically paced primary cardiomyocytes, and the cardiomyocyte cell lines H9c2 and HL-1. There were only marginal levels of TRPA1 mRNA in cardiomyocytes and cardiac cell lines, also in conditions of cell differentiation or inflammation, which might occur in pathophysiological conditions. Similarly, TRPV1 agonist capsaicin did not activate primary mouse cardiomyocytes, did not alter electrically paced activity in these, and did not activate H9c2 cells or alter spontaneous activity of HL-1 cells. Human pluripotent stem cells differentiated to cardiomyocytes had no relevant TRPA1 mRNA levels. Also in human post-mortem heart samples, TRPA1 mRNA levels were substantially lower compared with the respective dorsal root ganglion. CONCLUSION The results do not question a role of TRPA1 in the heart but exclude a direct effect in cardiomyocytes.

[PMID: 32629175 PMCID: PMC7719099 DOI: 10.1016/j.trsl.2020.06.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2020] [Revised: 05/15/2020] [Accepted: 06/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Little is known whether topical analgesic creams, whose natural products enter the blood stream after application, affect myocardial infarct size. Here we tested whether topical analgesic creams can trigger remote cardioprotection and the mechanism involved. Male Sprague Dawley rats were used for an in vivo rodent model consisting of 30 minutes left anterior descending coronary artery ischemia and 2 hours of reperfusion followed by infarct size assessment. The topical analgesic IcyHot, applied to the abdomen prior to ischemia, reduced myocardial infarct size versus control (41 ± 3* vs 62 ± 1, n= 6/group, *P < 0.001). In contrast, the topical analgesic creams Preparation H, Aspercreme Heat, or Tiger Balm did not alter infarct size. IcyHot, unlike Preparation H, increased circulating methyl salicylate levels during reperfusion (3.0 ± 0.6 vs 0.4 ± 0.2 mg/dL, n = 6, *P < 0.001, measured at the internal jugular vein). Methyl salicylate (10 μM) applied to isolated adult cardiac myocytes during reoxygenation reduced cell death when compared to vehicle (21% ± 2%* vs 30% ± 2% of trypan blue positive cells, n = 9/group, *P < 0.01). Further, treatment with the TRP ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) inhibitors TCS-5861528 (1 μM) or AP-18 (1 μM) blocked the methyl salicylate-induced protective effect in isolated adult cardiomyocytes. In intact rodents, either of the TRPA1 inhibitors (1 mg/kg, intravenous) given prior to IcyHot topical application blocked IcyHot-induced infarct size reduction. IcyHot also reduced infarct size when applied 24 hours prior to myocardial ischemia or during myocardial ischemia versus control. Together, these findings support IcyHot analgesic cream can trigger remote cardioprotection through releasing methyl salicylate into the bloodstream with cardioprotection occurring by a TRPA1-dependent mechanism.
