Abstract
The transient melastatin receptor potential (TRPM) ion channel subfamily functions as cellular sensors and transducers of critical biological signal pathways by regulating ion homeostasis. Some members of TRPM have been cloned from cancerous tissues, and their abnormal expressions in various solid malignancies have been correlated with cancer cell growth, survival, or death. Recent evidence also highlights the mechanisms underlying the role of TRPMs in tumor epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), autophagy, and cancer metabolic reprogramming. These implications support TRPM channels as potential molecular targets and their modulation as an innovative therapeutic approach against cancer. Here, we discuss the general characteristics of the different TRPMs, focusing on current knowledge about the connection between TRPM channels and critical features of cancer. We also cover TRPM modulators used as pharmaceutical tools in biological trials and an indication of the only clinical trial with a TRPM modulator about cancer. To conclude, the authors describe the prospects for TRPM channels in oncology.

Tissue immunostaining of candidate prognostic proteins in metastatic and non-metastatic prostate cancer. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2023; 149:567-577.

Abstract
PURPOSE Prostate cancer (PCa) lacks specific markers capable of distinguishing aggressive tumors from those with indolent behavior. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the immunostaining of candidate proteins (PTEN, AKT, TRPM8, and NKX3.1) through the immunohistochemistry technique (IHC) on patients with metastatic and non-metastatic PCa. METHODS Tissues from 60 patients were divided into three groups categorized according to prognostic parameters: better prognosis (n = 20), worse prognosis (n = 23), and metastatic (n = 17). Immunostaining was analyzed by a pathologist and staining classifications were considered according to signal intensity: (0) no staining, (+) weak, and (++ and +++) intermediate to strong. RESULTS AKT protein was associated (p = 0.012) and correlated (p = 0.014; Tau = - 0.288) with the prognostic groups. The immunostaining for TRPM8 (p = 0.010) and NKX3.1 (p = 0.003) proteins differed between malignant tumor and non-tumoral adjacent tissue as well as for proteins in cellular locations (nucleus and cytoplasm). TRPM8 was independently associated with the ISUP grade ≥ 4 (p = 0.024; OR = 8.373; 95% CI = 1.319-53.164). The NKX3.1 showed positive and predominantly strong immunostaining in all patients in both tumoral and non-tumoral adjacent tissues. All metastatic samples had positive immunostaining, with strong intensity for NKX3.1 (p = 0.021; Tau = - 0.302). In the non-metastatic group, this strong protein staining was not observed in any patients. CONCLUSION This study confirmed that NKX3.1 is highly specific for prostate tissue and indicated that NKX3.1, AKT, and TRPM8 may be candidate markers for prostate cancer prognosis.

Abstract
Cancer is a multifactorial process associated with changes in signaling pathways leading to cell cycle variations and gene expression. The transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) channel is a non-selective cation channel expressed in neuronal and non-neuronal tissues, where it is involved in several processes, including thermosensation, differentiation, and migration. Cancer is a multifactorial process associated with changes in signaling pathways leading to variations in cell cycle and gene expression. Interestingly, it has been shown that TRPM8 channels also participate in physiological processes related to cancer, such as proliferation, survival, and invasion. For instance, TRPM8 channels have an important role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of prostate cancer. In addition, it has been reported that TRPM8 channels are involved in the progress of pancreatic, breast, bladder, colon, gastric, and skin cancers, glioblastoma, and neuroblastoma. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the role of TRPM8 channels in cancer progression. We also discuss the therapeutic potential of TRPM8 in carcinogenesis, which has been proposed as a molecular target for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Canine mammary gland tumour (CMTs) are one of the most commonly found tumours in intact female dogs. A previous study on canine mammary glands demonstrated the presence of the transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) ion channels in healthy canine mammary tissues. However, the significance of TRPM7 in CMT is not yet known. TRPM7 is a Ca2+ and Mg2+ permeable cation channel that contains a protein kinase domain. The aim of this study was to determine TRPM7 expression in 57 benign and malignant CMT tissues of dogs using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and evaluate its correlation with clinicopathological features and explore the potential prognostic value of TRPM7 in a prospective survival study. IHC analysis shows that TRPM7 was expressed in the cytoplasm of neoplastic epithelial cells. Moreover, TRPM7 expression was significantly associated with tumour malignancy (P = .027), Ki-67 index (P < .0001) and metastasis (P < .0001). Survival curve analysis indicates that high TRPM7 expression was significantly associated with poor disease-free (P = .035) and overall survival (P = .011) in malignant CMTs. Our results demonstrate that TRPM7 is expressed in CMTs and that its expression is positively correlated with clinicopathological parameters. Thus, TRPM7 was assumed to be a potential prognostic factor for CMTs.

Abstract
Objective Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common malignancy in men. Radiotherapy and surgery successfully control organ-confined tumors, although, locally advanced/high-risk PCa frequently progress to the metastatic stage of the disease, which is uncurable. Identification of novel strategies to improve the efficacy of standard clinical protocols is a primary need. Among the molecular targets of potential clinical interest recently highlighted by accurate preclinical studies, the TRPM8 cation channel is particularly promising. In this study, we aim at establishing a standardized immunohistochemistry protocol to evaluate TRPM8 expression in normal and pathological prostate tissues. Methods The specificity and sensitivity of TRPM8 antibody ACC-049 was validated in different human prostate cell lines by western blot and immunocytochemistry analyses. Expression of the TRPM8 channel in normal and pathological prostate tissue was evaluated by immunohistochemistry using a tissue microarray containing 58 cases of prostate adenocarcinomas and in primary and lymph nodes metastatic human PCa matched specimens. Results TRPM8 expression marks luminal epithelial cells in benign prostate tissue. In malignant lesions of the prostate, TRPM8 expression is frequently more abundant in advanced stages of the disease (PCa stage III/IV). Finally, lymph node metastases and matched primary tumors show similar amounts of the channel. Conclusions Collectively, our results reinforce the importance of TRPM8 as prostate biomarker and emphasize the value of the channel as promising novel molecular target for the treatment of prostate adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Testosterone regulates dimorphic sexual behaviors in all vertebrates. However, the molecular mechanism underlying these behaviors remains unclear. Here, we report that a newly identified rapid testosterone signaling receptor, Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 8 (TRPM8), regulates dimorphic sexual and social behaviors in mice. We found that, along with higher steroid levels in the circulation, TRPM8-/- male mice exhibit increased mounting frequency indiscriminate of sex, delayed sexual satiety, and increased aggression compared to wild-type controls, while TRPM8-/- females display an increased olfaction-exploratory behavior. Furthermore, neuronal responses to acute testosterone application onto the amygdala were attenuated in TRPM8-/- males but remained unchanged in females. Moreover, activation of dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area following mating was impaired in TRPM8-/- males. Together, these results demonstrate that TRPM8 regulates dimorphic sexual and social behaviors, and potentially constitutes a signalosome for mediation of sex-reward mechanism in males. Thus, deficiency of TRPM8 might lead to a delayed sexual satiety phenomenon.

Abstract
Ion channels are important therapeutic targets due to their plethoric involvement in physiological and pathological consequences. The transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 8 (TRPM8) is a nonselective cation channel that controls Ca2+ homeostasis. It has been proposed to be the predominant thermoreceptor for cellular and behavioral responses to cold stimuli in the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel subfamilies and exploited so far to reach the clinical-stage of drug development. TRPM8 channels can be found in multiple organs and tissues, regulating several important processes such as cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis, inflammatory reactions, immunomodulatory effects, pain, and vascular muscle tension. The related disorders have been expanded to new fields ranging from cancer and migraine to dry eye disease, pruritus, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and chronic cough. This review is aimed to summarize the distribution of TRPM8 and disorders related to it from a clinical perspective, so as to broaden the scope of knowledge of researchers to conduct more studies on this subject.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential melastatin-subfamily member 7 (TRPM7) cation channel is a bifunctional ion channel with intrinsic kinase activity and is ubiquitously expressed in the animal/human body. Accumulated knowledge of TRPM7 suggests that it plays an essential role in normal physiological processes, including the development, survival, proliferation, differentiation, and migration of cells. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the presence and expression patterns of TRPM7 in normal canine mammary glands using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. Normal mammary gland tissue samples were obtained from five female beagle dogs. RT-PCR and sequencing of the amplified PCR products demonstrated the presence of TRPM7 mRNA in normal mammary glands, and the presence of TRPM7 protein was confirmed by Western blotting. Immunohistochemical investigations demonstrated the expression of TRPM7 in the apical membrane of acinar and ductal epithelial cells in the canine mammary glands. These results provide the first evidence of the presence and distribution of TRPM7 in the canine mammary gland and could help explain the physiological and pathological roles of TRPM7 in the canine mammary gland; however, additional studies are required to elucidate these roles.

Abstract
Genes that encode proteins playing a role in more than one biological process are frequently dependent on their tissue context, and human diseases result from the altered interplay of tissue- and cell-specific processes. In this work, we performed a computational approach that identifies tissue-specific co-expression networks by integrating miRNAs, long-non-coding RNAs, and mRNAs in more than eight thousands of human samples from thirty normal tissue types. Our analysis (1) shows that long-non coding RNAs and miRNAs have a high specificity, (2) confirms several known tissue-specific RNAs, and (3) identifies new tissue-specific co-expressed RNAs that are currently still not described in the literature. Some of these RNAs interact with known tissue-specific RNAs or are crucial in key cancer functions, suggesting that they are implicated in tissue specification or cell differentiation.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins are a diverse family of ion channels present in multiple types of tissues. They function as gatekeepers for responses to sensory stimuli including temperature, vision, taste, and pain through their activities in conducting ion fluxes. The TRPM (melastatin) subfamily consists of eight members (i.e., TRPM1-8), which collectively regulate fluxes of various types of cations such as K+ , Na+ , Ca2+ , and Mg2+ . Growing evidence in the past two decades indicates that TRPM ion channels, their isoforms, or long noncoding RNAs encoded within the locus may be oncogenes involved in the regulation of cancer cell growth, proliferation, autophagy, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and their significant association with poor clinical outcomes of cancer patients. In this review, we describe and discuss recent findings implicating TRPM channels in different malignancies, their functions, mechanisms, and signaling pathways involved in cancers, as well as summarizing their normal physiological functions and the availability of ion channel pharmacological inhibitors.

Kume H, Tsukimoto M. TRPM8 channel inhibitor AMTB suppresses murine T-cell activation induced by T-cell receptor stimulation, concanavalin A, or external antigen re-stimulation. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2019; 509:918-924. [PMID: 30642628 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2019.01.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2018] [Accepted: 01/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are a family of non-selective cation channels that are functionally expressed in various organs and cells. Among them, transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) 1 and TRPV4 channels are expressed in T cells, where they serve as Ca2+ channels for T-cell receptor signaling [Bertin et al., 2014, Majhi et al., 2015]. Here, we show that not only TRPV1 and TRPV4 channel inhibitors, but also a transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM) 8 channel inhibitor can suppress murine T-cell activation. Mouse splenic lymphocytes pretreated with N-(3-aminopropyl)-2-[(3-methylphenyl)methoxy]-N-(2-thienylmethyl)benzamide hydrochloride (AMTB), a TRPM8 channel-selective inhibitor, showed significantly reduced IL-2 and IL-6 release from T cells after stimulation with anti-CD3ε/anti-CD28 antibodies or concanavalin A. AMTB also suppressed IL-2 mRNA expression and activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, which is involved in IL-2 production. Further, the increase of CD25 (IL-2 receptor alpha chain) expression after T-cell activation was suppressed by AMTB. TRPM8 channel was expressed in CD4+ T cells isolated from splenocytes, and we confirmed that the release of IL-2 from isolated CD4+ T cells was significantly suppressed by AMTB. In vitro re-stimulation of splenocytes from external antigen-immunized mice with the same antigen induced IL-2 and IL-6 production, which was significantly suppressed by AMTB. Thus, the TRPM8 channel inhibitor AMTB suppresses T-cell activation induced by various stimulants.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) is a member of the transient receptor potential superfamily of Ca2+ channels. The aim of the present study was to clarify TRPM8 expression in reactive lymphoid tissues and mature B-cell neoplasms. Reactive and neoplastic lymphoid tissues were used to evaluate TRPM8 expression by immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). TRPM8+ cells were frequently detected in the follicular light zone and marginal zone of reactive lymphoid tissues. Double immunostaining revealed that TRPM8+ cells co-expressed cluster of differentiation (CD) 38, CD79a, CD138, interferon regulatory factor 4/melanoma associated antigen (mutated) 1, B cell CLL/lymphoma 6 and transmembrane activator and CAML interactor. TRPM8+ neoplastic cells were frequently detected in plasma cell myeloma. The positive band of TRPM8 mRNA was confirmed by RT-PCR in cases of myeloma. The present study is, to the best of our knowledge, the first to demonstrate the expression of TRPM8 in reactive lymphoid tissues and mature B-cell neoplasms, revealing that TRPM8 is frequently expressed in pre-plasmablasts, plasmablasts, plasma cells and mature B-cell lymphomas that are likely to differentiate into plasma cells.

Abstract
While originally cloned from the prostate in 2001, transient receptor potential, melastatin member 8 (TRPM8) has since been identified as the cold/menthol receptor in the peripheral nervous system. This discovery has led to hundreds of studies regarding the role of this channel in pain and thermosensation phenomena, while relegating TRPM8 involvement in cancer to a secondary role. Despite these findings, there is growing evidence that TRPM8 should be carefully studied within the frame of carcinogenesis, especially in the prostate, where it is highly expressed and where many teams have confirmed variations in its expression during cancer progression. Its regulation by physiological factors, such as PSA and androgens, has proved that TRPM8 can exhibit an activity beyond that of a cold receptor, thus explaining how the channel can be activated in organs not exposed to temperature variations. With this review, we aim to provide a brief overview of the current knowledge regarding the complex roles of TRPM8 in prostate carcinogenesis and to show that this research path still represents a "hot" topic with potential clinical applications in the short term.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum plays an important role in many cell-fate defining cellular processes. Traditionally, this Ca2+ release was associated with the ER Ca2+ release channels, inositol 1,4,5‑triphosphate receptor (IP3R) and ryanodine receptor (RyR). Lately, however, other calcium conductances have been found to be intracellularly localized and to participate in cell fate regulation. Nonetheless, molecular identity and functional properties of the ER Ca2+ release mechanisms associated with multiple diseases, e.g. prostate cancer, remain unknown. Here we identify a new family of transient receptor potential melastatine 8 (TRPM8) channel isoforms as functional ER Ca2+ release channels expressed in mitochondria-associated ER membranes (MAMs). These TRPM8 isoforms exhibit an unconventional structure with 4 transmembrane domains (TMs) instead of 6 TMs characteristic of the TRP channel archetype. We show that these 4TM-TRPM8 isoforms form functional channels in the ER and participate in regulation of the steady-state Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]) in mitochondria and the ER. Thus, our study identifies 4TM-TRPM8 isoforms as ER Ca2+ release mechanism distinct from classical Ca2+ release channels.
