Abstract
Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation causes skin injury by trigging excessive calcium influx and signaling cascades in the skin keratinocytes. The heat-sensitive Ca2+ -permeable transient receptor potential vanilloid 3 (TRPV3) channels robustly expressed in the keratinocytes play an important role in skin barrier formation and wound healing. Here, we report that inhibition of cutaneous TRPV3 alleviates UVB radiation-induced skin lesions. In mouse models of ear swelling and dorsal skin injury induced by a single exposure of weak UVB radiation, TRPV3 genes and proteins were upregulated in quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot assays. In accompany with TRPV3 upregulations, the expressions of proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were also increased. Knockout of the TRPV3 gene alleviates UVB-induced ear swelling and dorsal skin inflammation. Furthermore, topical applications of two selective TRPV3 inhibitors, osthole and verbascoside, resulted in a dose-dependent attenuation of skin inflammation and lesions. Taken together, our findings demonstrate the causative role of overactive TRPV3 channel function in the development of UVB-induced skin injury. Therefore, topical inhibition of TRPV3 may hold potential therapy or prevention of UVB radiation-induced skin injury.

TRPM8 indicates poor prognosis in colorectal cancer patients and its pharmacological targeting reduces tumour growth in mice by inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin signalling. Br J Pharmacol 2023; 180:235-251.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transient receptor potential melastatin type-8 (TRPM8) is a cold-sensitive cation channel protein belonging to the TRP superfamily of ion channels. Here, we reveal the molecular mechanism of TRPM8 and its clinical relevance in colorectal cancer (CRC). EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH TRPM8 expression and its correlation with the survival rate of CRC patients was analysed. To identify the key pathways and genes related to TRPM8 high expression, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses were conducted in CRC patients. TRPM8 functional role was assessed by using Trpm8-/- mice in models of sporadic and colitis-associated colon cancer. TRPM8 pharmacological targeting by WS12 was evaluated in murine models of CRC. KEY RESULTS TRPM8 is overexpressed in colon primary tumours and in CD326+ tumour cell fraction. TRPM8 high expression was related to lower survival rate of CRC patients, Wnt-Frizzled signalling hyperactivation and adenomatous polyposis coli down-regulation. In sporadic and colitis-associated models of colon cancer, either absence or pharmacological desensitization of TRPM8 reduced tumour development via inhibition of the oncogenic Wnt/β-catenin signalling. TRPM8 pharmacological blockade reduced tumour growth in CRC xenograft mice by reducing the transcription of Wnt signalling regulators and the activation of β-catenin and its target oncogenes such as C-Myc and Cyclin D1. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Human data provide valuable insights to propose TRPM8 as a prognostic marker with a negative predictive value for CRC patient survival. Animal experiments demonstrate TRPM8 involvement in colon cancer pathophysiology and its potential as a drug target for CRC.

Mapping of susceptible variants for cold medicine-related Stevens-Johnson syndrome by whole-genome resequencing. NPJ Genom Med 2021; 6:9.

Abstract
Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) and its severe condition with extensive skin detachment and a poor prognosis, toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), are immunologically mediated severe cutaneous reactions of the skin and mucous membranes such as the ocular surface. Genetic variations on the HLA-A and other autosomal genes have been identified as risk factors for cold medicine-related SJS/TEN with severe ocular complications (CM-SJS/TEN with SOC). Using a whole-genome sequencing (WGS) approach, we explored other susceptible variants of CM-SJS/TEN with SOC, especially among rare variants and structural variants (SVs). WGS was performed on samples from 133 patients with CM-SJS/TEN with SOC and 418 healthy controls to obtain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and SVs. Genome-wide association tests were performed with these variants. Our genome-wide association test reproduced the associations of the common variants of HLA-A and loci on chromosome 16q12.1. We also identified novel associations of SVs on these loci and an aggregation of rare coding variants on the TPRM8 gene. In silico gene expression analysis on the HLA-A locus revealed that the SNP (rs12202296), which was significantly associated with susceptibility to CM-SJS/TEN with SOC, was correlated to an increase in HLA-A expression levels in the whole blood (P = 2.9 × 10−17), from the GTEx database. The majority of variants that were significantly associated with CM-SJS/TEN with SOC were found in non-coding regions, indicating the regulatory role of genetic variations in the pathogenesis of CM-SJS/TEN with SOC.

Abstract
Ion channels of the Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) family mediate the influx of monovalent and/or divalent cations into cells in response to a host of chemical or physical stimuli. In the skin, TRP channels are expressed in many cell types, including keratinocytes, sensory neurons, melanocytes, and immune/inflammatory cells. Within these diverse cell types, TRP channels participate in physiological processes ranging from sensation to skin homeostasis. In addition, there is a growing body of evidence implicating abnormal TRP channel function, as a product of excessive or deficient channel activity, in pathological skin conditions such as chronic pain and itch, dermatitis, vitiligo, alopecia, wound healing, skin carcinogenesis, and skin barrier compromise. These diverse functions, coupled with the fact that many TRP channels possess pharmacologically accessible sites, make this family of proteins appealing therapeutic targets for skin disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin properties vary depending on exogenous factors. Various studies have been used for comparing skin properties between cities for studying environment influence on skin properties. However, for comparison of skin properties between cities, various environmental factors have to be considered. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study therefore was to compare skin properties in individuals of the same ethnicity and sex (Indonesian women) between different altitudes and to interpret the environmental effect on skin. METHODS In this study, we reanalyzed the data obtained from previous study. The data were for healthy Sundanese Indonesian females [(n = 136) at Jakarta (n = 49) and Bandung (n = 87)], and the data consisted of published data (skin hydration, sebum level, pH, elasticity, and transepidermal water loss) and unpublished data [skin color (L*, a*, and b*)]. The skin parameters were measured on Indonesian females aged 20-34 using C+K devices (corneometer, sebumeter, pH meter, and cutometer), Delfin vapometer, and Minolta spectrophotometer, respectively. RESULTS Sundanese Jakarta (low-altitude) females had higher sebum level and greater redness (a*) value in the forehead than Sundanese Bandung (high-altitude) females. In contrast, Bandung females had higher skin pH, brighter skin color, and greater forehead skin elasticity than Jakarta females. CONCLUSIONS The skin properties can be influenced by changing altitude because different altitudes have different environments such as air temperature, humidity, UV radiation, and so on, and it is also necessary to investigate the factors which can influence with perceived skin condition such as skin type and skin concerning.
