Matsubara M, Muraki Y, Suzuki H, Hatano N, Muraki K. Critical amino acid residues regulating TRPA1 Zn 2+ response: A comparative study across species. J Biol Chem 2024; 300:107302. [PMID: 38642892 PMCID: PMC11134551 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2024.107302] [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: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Cellular zinc ions (Zn2+) are crucial for signal transduction in various cell types. The transient receptor potential (TRP) ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel, known for its sensitivity to intracellular Zn2+ ([Zn2+]i), has been a subject of limited understanding regarding its molecular mechanism. Here, we used metal ion-affinity prediction, three-dimensional structural modeling, and mutagenesis, utilizing data from the Protein Data Bank and AlphaFold database, to elucidate the [Zn2+]i binding domain (IZD) structure composed by specific AAs residues in human (hTRPA1) and chicken TRPA1 (gTRPA1). External Zn2+ induced activation in hTRPA1, while not in gTRPA1. Moreover, external Zn2+ elevated [Zn2+]i specifically in hTRPA1. Notably, both hTRPA1 and gTRPA1 exhibited inherent sensitivity to [Zn2+]i, as evidenced by their activation upon internal Zn2+ application. The critical AAs within IZDs, specifically histidine at 983/984, lysine at 711/717, tyrosine at 714/720, and glutamate at 987/988 in IZD1, and H983/H984, tryptophan at 710/716, E854/E855, and glutamine at 979/980 in IZD2, were identified in hTRPA1/gTRPA1. Furthermore, mutations, such as the substitution of arginine at 919 (R919) to H919, abrogated the response to external Zn2+ in hTRPA1. Among single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at Y714 and a triple SNP at R919 in hTRPA1, we revealed that the Zn2+ responses were attenuated in mutants carrying the Y714 and R919 substitution to asparagine and proline, respectively. Overall, this study unveils the intrinsic sensitivity of hTRPA1 and gTRPA1 to [Zn2+]i mediated through IZDs. Furthermore, our findings suggest that specific SNP mutations can alter the responsiveness of hTRPA1 to extracellular and intracellular Zn2+.

Potent Activation of Human but Not Mouse TRPA1 by JT010. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232214297. [PMID: 36430781 PMCID: PMC9695908 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232214297] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) ankyrin repeat 1 (TRPA1), which is involved in inflammatory pain sensation, is activated by endogenous factors, such as intracellular Zn2+ and hydrogen peroxide, and by irritant chemical compounds. The synthetic compound JT010 potently and selectively activates human TRPA1 (hTRPA1) among the TRPs. Therefore, JT010 is a useful tool for analyzing TRPA1 functions in biological systems. Here, we show that JT010 is a potent activator of hTRPA1, but not mouse TRPA1 (mTRPA1) in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells expressing hTRPA1 and mTRPA1. Application of 0.3-100 nM of JT010 to HEK cells with hTRPA1 induced large Ca2+ responses. However, in HEK cells with mTRPA1, the response was small. In contrast, both TRPA1s were effectively activated by allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) at 10-100 μM. Similar selective activation of hTRPA1 by JT010 was observed in electrophysiological experiments. Additionally, JT010 activated TRPA1 in human fibroblast-like synoviocytes with inflammation, but not TRPA1 in mouse dorsal root ganglion cells. As cysteine at 621 (C621) of hTRPA1, a critical cysteine for interaction with JT010, is conserved in mTRPA1, we applied JT010 to HEK cells with mutations in mTRPA1, where the different residue of mTRPA1 with tyrosine at 60 (Y60), with histidine at 1023 (H1023), and with asparagine at 1027 (N1027) were substituted with cysteine in hTRPA1. However, these mutants showed low sensitivity to JT010. In contrast, the mutation of hTRPA1 at position 669 from phenylalanine to methionine (F669M), comprising methionine at 670 in mTRPA1 (M670), significantly reduced the response to JT010. Moreover, the double mutant at S669 and M670 of mTRPA1 to S669E and M670F, respectively, induced slight but substantial sensitivity to 30 and 100 nM JT010. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that JT010 potently and selectively activates hTRPA1 but not mTRPA1.

Abstract
Inflammation or injury to the somatosensory nervous system may result in chronic pain conditions, which affect millions of people and often cause major health problems. Emerging lines of evidence indicate that reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as superoxide anion or hydrogen peroxide, are produced in the nociceptive system during chronic inflammatory and neuropathic pain and act as specific signaling molecules in pain processing. Among potential ROS sources in the somatosensory system are NADPH oxidases, a group of electron-transporting transmembrane enzymes whose sole function seems to be the generation of ROS. Interestingly, the expression and relevant function of the Nox family members Nox1, Nox2, and Nox4 in various cells of the nociceptive system have been demonstrated. Studies using knockout mice or specific knockdown of these isoforms indicate that Nox1, Nox2, and Nox4 specifically contribute to distinct signaling pathways in chronic inflammatory and/or neuropathic pain states. As selective Nox inhibitors are currently being developed and investigated in various physiological and pathophysiological settings, targeting Nox1, Nox2, and/or Nox4 could be a novel strategy for the treatment of chronic pain. Here, we summarize the distinct roles of Nox1, Nox2, and Nox4 in inflammatory and neuropathic processing and discuss the effectiveness of currently available Nox inhibitors in the treatment of chronic pain conditions.

HIF-1α Dependent Upregulation of ZIP8, ZIP14, and TRPA1 Modify Intracellular Zn 2+ Accumulation in Inflammatory Synoviocytes. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22126349.

Abstract
Intracellular free zinc ([Zn2+]i) is mobilized in neuronal and non-neuronal cells under physiological and/or pathophysiological conditions; therefore, [Zn2+]i is a component of cellular signal transduction in biological systems. Although several transporters and ion channels that carry Zn2+ have been identified, proteins that are involved in Zn2+ supply into cells and their expression are poorly understood, particularly under inflammatory conditions. Here, we show that the expression of Zn2+ transporters ZIP8 and ZIP14 is increased via the activation of hypoxia-induced factor 1α (HIF-1α) in inflammation, leading to [Zn2+]i accumulation, which intrinsically activates transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel and elevates basal [Zn2+]i. In human fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), treatment with inflammatory mediators, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1α (IL-1α), evoked TRPA1-dependent intrinsic Ca2+ oscillations. Assays with fluorescent Zn2+ indicators revealed that the basal [Zn2+]i concentration was significantly higher in TRPA1-expressing HEK cells and inflammatory FLSs. Moreover, TRPA1 activation induced an elevation of [Zn2+]i level in the presence of 1 μM Zn2+ in inflammatory FLSs. Among the 17 out of 24 known Zn2+ transporters, FLSs that were treated with TNF-α and IL-1α exhibited a higher expression of ZIP8 and ZIP14. Their expression levels were augmented by transfection with an active component of nuclear factor-κB P65 and HIF-1α expression vectors, and they could be abolished by pretreatment with the HIF-1α inhibitor echinomycin (Echi). The functional expression of ZIP8 and ZIP14 in HEK cells significantly increased the basal [Zn2+]i level. Taken together, Zn2+ carrier proteins, TRPA1, ZIP8, and ZIP14, induced under HIF-1α mediated inflammation can synergistically change [Zn2+]i in inflammatory FLSs.

Abstract
Background Endothelial dysfunction and apoptosis resulting from oxidative stress can lead to the development of atherosclerosis. Our group has previously showed that CD137 signaling contributes to the progression of atherosclerosis and the vulnerability of plaques. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of CD137 signaling in atherosclerosis on endothelial cells (ECs) apoptosis and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods Serum samples were collected from 11 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 4 controls. Peritoneal injection of agonist-CD137 recombinant protein in ApoE−/− mice was used to determine whether CD137 signaling can promote apoptosis in vivo, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells treated with agonist-CD137 recombinant protein, M5580 (a Nrf2 pathway agonist) and CAPE (a NF-κB pathway inhibitor) were used to explore the effect of Nrf2 and NF-κB pathway in CD137 signaling-induced ECs apoptosis in vitro. Results ELISA showed that Bcl-2 in the serum of AMI patients was lower than that of the control group, while TNF-α and sCD137 were higher than that of the control group. Confocal microscopy and Western blot analysis showed that the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 in the agonist-CD137 group was significantly inhibited, and the expression of its downstream antioxidant enzymes was also decreased when compared with control. Immunofluorescence and Western blot results showed that the nuclear translocation of NF-κB in the agonist-CD137 group was enhanced, and ELISA results showed that the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines in the agonist-CD137 group was increased. Immunofluorescence results revealed that ROS production in the agonist-CD137 group was higher than that in control, M5580 (a Nrf2 pathway agonist) and CAPE (a NF-κB pathway inhibitor) groups. In vitro studies using HUVECs and in vivo studies using high-fat-fed ApoE−/− mice showed that the number of apoptotic endothelial cells was the highest in the agonist-CD137 group. By contrast, both M5580 and CAPE treatments were able to reduce CD137 induced ECs apoptosis. Conclusions Our results showed that CD137 signaling promotes ECs apoptosis through prooxidative and proinflammatory mechanisms, mediated by Nrf2 and NF-κB pathways, respectively.

Abstract
The highly aggressive fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) are inflammatory mediators involved in synovial joint destruction. Membrane channels and transporters are essential components of the cell migration apparatus and are involved in various cellular functions. Although evidence is emerging that cell migration is a physiological/pathological process, the mechanism of highly dynamic synoviocytes linked to the membrane channels and carbonic anhydrases (CAs) in inflamed joints is only partially understood. In this review, topics covered will give a brief overview of CAs and the membrane channels of synoviocytes. We have also systematically focused on the role of FLS channels and transporters under various conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), to understand the pathophysiology of the migration of synoviocytes as inflammatory mediators in joints.

Abstract
Recent studies have reported that the transient receptor potential V1 ion channel (TRPV1), a pain generator on sensory neurons, is activated and potentiated by NADPH oxidase-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are increased by advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs), which activate NADPH oxidase by upregulating Nox4 expression. Our previous studies reported that Euphorbia bicolor (Euphorbiaceae) latex extract induced peripheral analgesia, partly via TRPV1, in hindpaw-inflamed male and female rats. The present study reports that E. bicolor latex extract also can evoke analgesia via reduction of oxidative stress biomarkers and proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines in a rat model of orofacial pain. Male and female rats were injected with complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) into the left vibrissal pad to induce orofacial inflammation, and mechanical allodynia was measured by the von Frey method. Twenty-four hours later, rats received one injection of E. bicolor latex extract or vehicle into the inflamed vibrissal pad. Mechanical sensitivity was reassessed at 1, 6, 24, and/or 72 hours. Trigeminal ganglia and trunk blood were collected at each time point. In the trigeminal ganglia, ROS were quantified using 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate dye, Nox4 protein was quantified by Western blots, and cytokines/chemokines were quantified using a cytokine array. AOPPs were quantified in trunk blood using a spectrophotometric assay. E. bicolor latex extract significantly reduced orofacial mechanical allodynia in male and female rats at 24 and 72 hours, respectively. ROS, Nox4, and proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines were significantly reduced in the trigeminal ganglia, and plasma AOPP was significantly reduced in the trunk blood of extract-treated compared to vehicle-treated rats. In vitro assays indicate that E. bicolor latex extract possessed antioxidant activities by scavenging free radicals. Together our data indicate that the phytochemicals in E. bicolor latex may serve as novel therapeutics for treating oxidative stress-induced pain conditions.

Abstract
Many of the fungicides and antibiotics currently available against plant pathogens are of limited use due to the emergence of resistant strains. In this study, we examined the effects of diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPIC), an inhibitor of the superoxide producing enzyme NADPH oxidase, against fungal and bacterial plant pathogens. We found that DPIC inhibits fungal spore germination and bacterial cell proliferation. In addition, we demonstrated the potent antibacterial activity of DPIC using rice heads infected with the bacterial pathogen Burkholderia glumae which causes bacterial panicle blight (BPB). We found that treatment with DPIC reduced BPB when applied during the initial flowering stage of the rice heads. These results suggest that DPIC could serve as a new and useful antimicrobial agent in agriculture.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling or unfolded protein response (UPR) is a common feature of many human diseases, including cancer. Excessive activation of ER stress directly induces cell death, holding a new promising strategy for the therapeutic intervention of cancer. Current ER-stress-inducing agents mainly target UPR components or proteasomes, which exert limited treatment efficacy and undesired side effects due to unselective ER stress and poor tumor-specific distribution. In this study, a unique near-infrared (NIR) fluorophore, IR-34, is synthesized and identified to selectively and efficiently trigger tumoricidal ER stress by targeting the mitochondrial protein NDUFS1. IR-34 is demonstrated to specifically accumulate in living cancer cells for tumor NIR imaging and drastically inhibit tumor growth and recurrence without causing apparent toxicity. Thus, this multifunctional NIR fluorophore may represent a novel theranostic agent for tumor imaging-guided treatment and also strengthens the idea that mitochondria could be a useful target for therapeutic ER stress in cancer cells.

Abstract
Detection of mechanical stress is essential for diverse biological functions including touch, audition, and maintenance of vascular myogenic tone. PIEZO1, a mechano-sensing cation channel, is widely expressed in neuronal and non-neuronal cells and is expected to be involved in important biological functions. Here, we examined the possibility that PIEZO1 is involved in the regulation of synovial sarcoma cell-viability. Application of a PIEZO1 agonist Yoda1 effectively induced Ca2+ response and cation channel currents in PIEZO1-expressing HEK (HEK-Piezo1) cells and synovial sarcoma SW982 (SW982) cells. Mechanical stress, as well as Yoda1, induced the activity of an identical channel of conductance with 21.6 pS in HEK-Piezo1 cells. In contrast, Yoda1 up to 10 μM had no effects on membrane currents in HEK cells without transfecting PIEZO1. A knockdown of PIEZO1 with siRNA in SW982 cells abolished Yoda1-induced Ca2+ response and significantly reduced cell cell-viability. Because PIEZO1 is highly expressed in SW982 cells and its knockdown affects cell-viability, this gene is a potential target against synovial sarcoma.

Na + entry through heteromeric TRPC4/C1 channels mediates (-)Englerin A-induced cytotoxicity in synovial sarcoma cells. Sci Rep 2017; 7:16988.

Abstract
The sesquiterpene (-)Englerin A (EA) is an organic compound from the plant Phyllanthus engleri which acts via heteromeric TRPC4/C1 channels to cause cytotoxicity in some types of cancer cell but not normal cells. Here we identified selective cytotoxicity of EA in human synovial sarcoma cells (SW982 cells) and investigated the mechanism. EA induced cation channel current (Icat) in SW982 cells with biophysical characteristics of heteromeric TRPC4/C1 channels. Inhibitors of homomeric TRPC4 channels were weak inhibitors of the Icat and EA-induced cytotoxicity whereas a potent inhibitor of TRPC4/C1 channels (Pico145) strongly inhibited Icat and cytotoxicity. Depletion of TRPC1 converted Icat into a current with biophysical and pharmacological properties of homomeric TRPC4 channels and depletion of TRPC1 or TRPC4 suppressed the cytotoxicity of EA. A Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitor (ouabain) potentiated EA-induced cytotoxicity and direct Na+ loading by gramicidin-A caused Pico145-resistant cytotoxicity in the absence of EA. We conclude that EA has a potent cytotoxic effect on human synovial sarcoma cells which is mediated by heteromeric TRPC4/C1 channels and Na+ loading.

Pharmacol Res Perspect 2017; 5. [PMID: 28805980 PMCID: PMC5684862 DOI: 10.1002/prp2.342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2017] [Revised: 05/30/2017] [Accepted: 06/13/2017] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is activated by noxious cold, mechanical stimulation, and irritant chemicals. In our recent study, 9, 10‐phenanthrenequinone (9,10‐PQ) is the most potent irritant for activation of NRF2 among 1395 cigarette smoke components and it may be, therefore, important to find its additional targets. Here, we show that 9,10‐PQ functions as an activator of TRPA1 in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells expressing human wild‐type TRPA1 (HEK‐wTRPA1) and human alveolar A549 (A549) cells. Application of 9,10‐PQ at 0.1–10 μmol/L induced a concentration‐dependent Ca2+ response as well as inward currents at −50 mV in HEK‐wTRPA1 cells. The current response was blocked by TRPA1 antagonists, HC‐030031 (HC) and A‐967079. To test whether 9,10‐PQ affects the cysteine residues of TRPA1, we expressed mutant TRPA1 channels in HEK cells (HEK‐muTRPA1) in which six different cysteine residues were replaced with serine. Among them, a mutation of cysteine 621 (C621S) abolished the 9,10‐PQ‐induced Ca2+ and current responses. The channel activity induced by 9,10‐PQ was also abolished in excised inside‐out patches isolated from HEK‐muTRPA1 cells with the C621S substitution. Although a mutation of cysteine 665 (C665S) reduced the 9,10‐PQ‐induced response, channel sensitization by pretreatment with Cu2+ plus 1,10‐phenanthroline and by internal dialysis of 3 μmol/L Ca2+ restored the response. However, a double mutant with C621S and C665S substitutions had little response to 9,10‐PQ, even when sensitized by Ca2+ dialysis. In A549 cells, 9,10‐PQ induced an HC‐sensitive Ca2+ response. Our findings demonstrate that 9,10‐PQ activation of human TRA1 is dependent on cysteine residues 621 and 665.

Advanced Oxidative Protein Products Cause Pain Hypersensitivity in Rats by Inducing Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons Apoptosis via NADPH Oxidase 4/c-Jun N-terminal Kinase Pathways. Front Mol Neurosci 2017; 10:195.

Abstract
Pain hypersensitivity is the most common category of chronic pain and is difficult to cure. Oxidative stress and certain cells apoptosis, such as dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, play an essential role in the induction and development of pain hypersensitivity. The focus of this study is at a more specific molecular level. We investigated the role of advanced oxidative protein products (AOPPs) in inducing hypersensitivity and the cellular mechanism underlying the proapoptotic effect of AOPPs. Normal rats were injected by AOPPs-Rat serum albumin (AOPPs–RSA) to cause pain hypersensitivity. Primary cultured DRG neurons were treated with increasing concentrations of AOPPs–RSA or for increasing time durations. The MTT, flow cytometry and western blot analyses were performed in the DRG neurons. A loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and an increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were observed. We found that AOPPs triggered DRG neurons apoptosis and MMP loss. After AOPPs treatment, intracellular ROS generation increased in a time- and dose-dependent manner, whereas, N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), a specific ROS scavenger could inhibit the ROS generation. Proapoptotic proteins, such as Bax, caspase 9/caspase 3, and PARP-1 were activated, whereas anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein was down-regulated. AOPPs also increased Nox4 and JNK expression. Taken together, these findings suggest that AOPPs cause pain hypersensitivity in rats, and extracellular AOPPs accumulation triggered Nox4-dependent ROS production, which activated JNK, and induced DRG neurons apoptosis by activating caspase 3 and PARP-1.

Advanced oxidation protein products sensitized the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 via NADPH oxidase 1 and 4 to cause mechanical hyperalgesia. Redox Biol 2016; 10:1-11.

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 effects of diclofenac (Dic), an acetic acid derivative-type nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, were examined on the function of transient receptor potential (TRP) melastatin (TRPM) 3 (TRPM3) in human embryonic kidney 293 cell-line (HEK293) cells with recombinant human TRPM3 isoforms (TRPM31325, TRPM3-3, TRPM3-9, and TRPM3-S) and in a neuroblastoma cell line human neuroblastoma IMR-32 cells (IMR-32 cells) derived from human peripheral neurons. TRPM3 responses evoked by pregnenolone sulfate (PregS) were effectively inhibited by Dic in a concentration-dependent manner in Ca(2+) measurement and electrophysiological assays. The apparent IC 50 for PregS-induced Ca(2+) response of TRPM31325, TRPM3-3, and TRPM3-9 was calculated to be 18.8, 42.5, and 7.1 μmol/L, respectively. The TRPM3-dependent Ca(2+) responses evoked by nifedipine, another TRPM3 agonist, were also significantly inhibited by Dic. In contrast, aceclofenac, an acetoxymethyl analog of Dic, had no effects on PregS-induced TRPM3 responses. Constitutive channel activity of TRPM3-S without TRPM3 agonists was substantially inhibited by Dic, ruling out the possibility of interaction of Dic against TRPM3 agonists to the channel binding sites. Moreover, Dic reversibly inhibited TRPM3 single-channel activity recorded in excised outside-out patches without affecting the channel conductance. In differentiated neuronal IMR-32 cells with endogenous TRPM3, Dic inhibited PregS-evoked Ca(2+) responses with an apparent IC 50 of 17.1 μmol/L. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that Dic inhibits human TRPM3 without interacting with the channel pore.

Abstract
A series of seven oxyprenylated phenylpropanoids and naphthoquinones were tested regarding their ability to activate transient receptor potential ankyrin subtype 1 channel (TRPA1). Three of the assayed compounds, namely, boropinal (3), juglone (5), and plumbagin (7), acted as strong modulators of TRPA1 channels with EC50 values of 9.8, 1.7, and 0.5 μM, respectively, as assessed by Ca(2+) assays. Moreover, the compounds elicited TRPA1 currents in electrophysiological whole cell recordings. We additionally provide evidence that plumbagin activated TRPA1-positive neurons isolated from mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons but did not affect sensory neurons from TRPA1-deficient mice. The high potencies of plumbagin and juglone to activate TRPA1 channels may explain the molecular basis of the mucosal irritant properties of these compounds as well as of related naphthoquinones and phytopreparations, as widely reported in the literature.

Abstract
A number of different ion channel types are involved in cell signaling networks, and homeostatic regulatory mechanisms contribute to the control of ion channel expression. Profiling of global gene expression using microarray technology has recently provided novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the homeostatic and pathological control of ion channel expression. It has demonstrated that the dysregulation of ion channel expression is associated with the pathogenesis of neural, cardiovascular, and immune diseases as well as cancers. In addition to the transcriptional, translational, and post-translational regulation of ion channels, potentially important evidence on the mechanisms controlling ion channel expression has recently been accumulated. The regulation of alternative pre-mRNA splicing is therefore a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of dominant-negative splicing disorders. Epigenetic modification plays a key role in various pathological conditions through the regulation of pluripotency genes. Inhibitors of pre-mRNA splicing and histone deacetyalase/methyltransferase have potential as potent therapeutic drugs for cancers and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Moreover, membrane-anchoring proteins, lysosomal and proteasomal degradation-related molecules, auxiliary subunits, and pharmacological agents alter the protein folding, membrane trafficking, and post-translational modifications of ion channels, and are linked to expression-defect channelopathies. In this review, we focused on recent insights into the transcriptional, spliceosomal, epigenetic, and proteasomal regulation of ion channel expression: Ca(2+) channels (TRPC/TRPV/TRPM/TRPA/Orai), K(+) channels (voltage-gated, KV/Ca(2+)-activated, KCa/two-pore domain, K2P/inward-rectifier, Kir), and Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channels (TMEM16A/TMEM16B). Furthermore, this review highlights expression of these ion channels in expression-defect channelopathies.
