Repeated doses of captopril induce airway hyperresponsiveness by modulating the TRPV1 receptor in rats. Pulm Pharmacol Ther 2024; 86:102302. [PMID: 38823475 DOI: 10.1016/j.pupt.2024.102302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
Although TRPV1 receptors play an essential role in the adverse effects on the airways following captopril treatment, there is no available evidence of their involvement in treatment regimens involving repeated doses of captopril. Comparing the difference in these two treatment regimens is essential since captopril is a continuous-use medication. Thus, this study explored the role of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) in the effects of captopril on rat airways using two treatment regimens. Airway resistance, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and histological and immunohistochemical analyses were conducted in rats administered with single or repeated doses of captopril. This study showed that the hyperresponsiveness to bradykinin and capsaicin in captopril-treated rats was acute. Treatment with the selective B2 antagonist, HOE140 reduced bradykinin hyperresponsiveness and abolished capsaicin exacerbation in single-dose captopril-treated rats. Likewise, degeneration of TRPV1-positive neurones also reduced hyperresponsiveness to bradykinin. Single-dose captopril treatment increased leukocyte infiltration in the BAL when compared with the vehicle and this increase was reduced by TRPV1-positive neurone degeneration. However, when compared with the vehicle treatment, animals treated with repeated doses of captopril showed an increase in leukocyte influx as early as 1 h after the last captopril treatment, but this effect disappeared after 24 h. Additionally, an increase in TRPV1 expression occurred only in animals who received repeated captopril doses and the degeneration of TRPV1-positive neurones attenuated TRPV1 upregulation. In conclusion, these data strongly indicate that a treatment regimen involving multiple doses of captopril not only enhances sensitisation but also upregulates TRPV1 expression. Consequently, targeting TRPV1 could serve as a promising strategy to reduce the negative impact of captopril on the airways.

Abstract
Capsaicin, the most prominent pungent compound of chilli peppers, has been used in traditional medicine systems for centuries; it already has a number of established clinical and industrial applications. Capsaicin is known to act through the TRPV1 receptor, which exists in various tissues; capsaicin is hepatically metabolised, having a half-life correlated with the method of application. Research on various applications of capsaicin in different formulations is still ongoing. Thus, local capsaicin applications have a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, while systemic applications have a multitude of different effects because their increased lipophilic character ensures their augmented bioavailability. Furthermore, various teams have documented capsaicin's anti-cancer effects, proven both in vivo and in vitro designs. A notable constraint in the therapeutic effects of capsaicin is its increased toxicity, especially in sensitive tissues. Regarding the traditional applications of capsaicin, apart from all the effects recorded as medicinal effects, the application of capsaicin in acupuncture points has been demonstrated to be effective and the combination of acupuncture and capsaicin warrants further research. Finally, capsaicin has demonstrated antimicrobial effects, which can supplement its anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic actions.

Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 interacts with Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14) signaling pathway in lipopolysaccharide-mediated inflammation in macrophages. Exp Anim 2024; 73:336-346. [PMID: 38508727 PMCID: PMC11254490 DOI: 10.1538/expanim.23-0148] [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: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), a ligand-gated cation channel, is a receptor for vanilloids on sensory neurons and is also activated by capsaicin, heat, protons, arachidonic acid metabolites, and inflammatory mediators on neuronal or non-neuronal cells. However, the role of the TRPV1 receptor in pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and its potential regulatory mechanisms in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation has yet to be entirely understood. To investigate the role and regulatory mechanism of the TRPV1 receptor in regulating LPS-induced inflammatory responses, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) harvested from wild-type (WT) and TRPV1 deficient (Trpv1-/-) mice were used as the cell model. In WT BMDMs, LPS induced an increase in the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-1β, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and nitric oxide, which were attenuated in Trpv1-/- BMDMs. Additionally, the phosphorylation of inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-Bα and mitogen-activated protein kinases, as well as the translocation of nuclear factor kappa-B and activator protein 1, were all decreased in LPS-treated Trpv1-/- BMDMs. Immunoprecipitation assay revealed that LPS treatment increased the formation of TRPV1-Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14) complex in WT BMDMs. Genetic deletion of TRPV1 in BMDMs impaired the LPS-triggered immune-complex formation of TLR4, myeloid differentiation protein 88, and interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase, all of which are essential regulators in LPS-induced activation of the TLR4 signaling pathway. Moreover, genetic deletion of TRPV1 prevented the LPS-induced lethality and pro-inflammatory production in mice. In conclusion, the TRPV1 receptor may positively regulate the LPS-mediated inflammatory responses in macrophages by increasing the interaction with the TLR4-CD14 complex and activating the downstream signaling cascade.

Abstract
Background Migraine has an increased prevalence in several immune disorders, but genetic cause-effect relationships remain unclear. Mendelian randomization (MR) was used in this study to explore whether immune diseases are causally associated with migraine and its subtypes. Methods We conducted a two-sample bidirectional multivariate Mendelian randomization study. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) for six immune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D), allergic rhinitis (AR), asthma and psoriasis, were used as genetic instrumental variables. Summary statistics for migraine were obtained from 3 databases: the International Headache Genetics Consortium (IHGC), UK Biobank, and FinnGen study. MR analyses were performed per outcome database for each exposure and subsequently meta-analyzed. Reverse MR analysis was performed to determine whether migraine were risk factors for immune diseases. In addition, we conducted a genetic correlation to identify shared genetic variants for these two associations. Results No significant causal relationship was found between immune diseases and migraine and its subtypes. These results were robust with a series of sensitivity analyses. Using the linkage disequilibrium score regression method (LDSC), we detected no genetic correlation between migraine and immune diseases. Conclusion The evidence from our study does not support a causal relationship between immune diseases and migraine. The mechanisms underlying the frequent comorbidity of migraine and several immune diseases need to be further elucidated.

Abstract
Recent evidence has increasingly underscored the importance of the neuro-immune axis in mediating allergic airway diseases, such as allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis. The intimate spatial relationship between neurons and immune cells suggests that their interactions play a pivotal role in regulating allergic airway inflammation. Upon direct activation by allergens, neurons and immune cells engage in interactions, during which neurotransmitters and neuropeptides released by neurons modulate immune cell activity. Meanwhile, immune cells release inflammatory mediators such as histamine and cytokines, stimulating neurons and amplifying neuropeptide production, thereby exacerbating allergic inflammation. The dynamic interplay between the nervous and immune systems suggests that targeting the neuro-immune axis in the airway could represent a novel approach to treating allergic airway diseases. This review summarized recent evidence on the nervous system's regulatory mechanisms in immune responses and identified potential therapeutic targets along the peripheral nerve-immune axis for allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis. The findings will provide novel perspectives on the management of allergic airway diseases in the future.

Abstract
The relationship between migraines and allergies is controversial. Though they are epidemiologically linked, the underlying pathophysiological connection between them remains unclear. Migraines and allergic disorders have various underlying genetic and biological causes. As per the literature, these conditions are epidemiologically linked, and some common pathophysiological pathways have been hypothesized. The histaminergic system may be the clue to understanding the correlation among these diseases. As a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system with a vasodilatory effect, histamine has a well-documented influence on the allergic response and could be involved in the pathophysiology of migraines. Histamine may influence hypothalamic activity, which may play a major role in migraines or may simply influence their severity. In both cases, antihistamine drugs could prove useful. This review examines whether the histaminergic system, particularly H3 and H4 receptors, may provide a mechanistic link between the pathophysiology of migraines and allergic disorders, two common and debilitating conditions. Identifying their connection could help identify novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is a complex medical condition associated with low dose chemical exposures. MCS is characterized by diverse features and common comorbidities, including fibromyalgia, cough hypersensitivity, asthma, and migraine, and stress/anxiety, with which the syndrome shares numerous neurobiological processes and altered functioning within diverse brain regions. Predictive factors linked to MCS comprise genetic influences, gene-environment interactions, oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, cell dysfunction, and psychosocial influences. The development of MCS may be attributed to the sensitization of transient receptor potential (TRP) receptors, notably TRPV1 and TRPA1. Capsaicin inhalation challenge studies demonstrated that TRPV1 sensitization is manifested in MCS, and functional brain imaging studies revealed that TRPV1 and TRPA1 agonists promote brain-region specific neuronal variations. Unfortunately, MCS has often been inappropriately viewed as stemming exclusively from psychological disturbances, which has fostered patients being stigmatized and ostracized, and often being denied accommodation for their disability. Evidence-based education is essential to provide appropriate support and advocacy. Greater recognition of receptor-mediated biological mechanisms should be incorporated in laws, and regulation of environmental exposures.

Abstract
Allergic asthma is a complicated respiratory disease with many concerns. Mounting epidemiological evidence linked temperature (T) and NO2 with allergic asthma, yet toxicological studies remain scarce. We conducted an in vivo study to explore toxicological evidence in T-NO2 interaction on allergic asthma, to investigate underlying toxicological mechanisms. 90 male Balb/c mice were randomly and equally divided into 6 groups including saline control, ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized, OVA + 35 °C, OVA + NO2, OVA + 35 °C + NO2, and OVA + 35 °C + NO2 + capsazepine (CZP), adopting treatment for 38 days. We measured pulmonary functions of inspiratory resistance (Ri), expiratory resistance (Re) and airway compliance (Cldyn), serum protein biomarkers, indexes of pulmonary inflammation, histopathological changes and protective effects of CZP. Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) was aggravated by high T (35 °C) and NO2 (5 ppm) co-exposure with a series of aggravating asthmatic symptoms including airway wall thickening, lumen stenosis, goblet cell proliferation, mucus hypersecretion, and subepithelial fibrotic hyperplasia, providing evidence in the toxicological impact of high T-NO2 interaction. The biomarkers of serum immune functions (Total-IgE, OVA-sIgE and IL-4), pro-inflammation (IL-6 and TNF-α), oxidative stress cytokines (8-OHdG, ROS and MDA), airway resistance (Ri and Re), and TRPV1 expression significantly increased, while IFN-γ, GSH and airway compliance (Cldyn) significantly decreased with co-exposure to high T and NO2. We observed that CZP addition significantly ameliorated these toxicological effects and biomarker levels induced by heat-NO2 interaction. Our results suggest a toxicity of heat-NO2 interaction on asthma with clear mechanisms, which can be ameliorated by CZP, indicating that both oxidative stress and TRPV1 expression may be primarily responsible for asthma of heat-NO2-induced toxicity.

TRPV1 is involved in abdominal hyperalgesia in a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide-induced peritonitis and influences the immune response via peripheral noradrenergic neurons. Life Sci 2023; 317:121472. [PMID: 36750138 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2023.121472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2022] [Revised: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
AIMS The transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily 1 (TRPV1) not only plays a role as a nociceptor but also has some regulatory effects on the immune system. We investigated the effects of TRPV1 on abdominal pain and the immune system in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced peritonitis and the association between TRPV1 and peripheral noradrenergic neurons. MAIN METHODS Experiments were performed in 8- to 14-week-old male wild-type (WT) and TRPV1 knockout (KO) mice. The mice were intraperitoneally injected with a non-lethal dose of LPS. Pain assessment and investigation of changes in the immune system were performed. Denervation of sympathetic nerves and the noradrenergic splenic nerve was induced by intraperitoneal administration of 6-hydroxydopamine. KEY FINDINGS The levels of serum cytokines were not significantly different in WT mice and TRPV1 KO mice. Abdominal mechanical hyperalgesia was greater in WT mice than in TRPV1 KO mice from 6 h to 3 days. The numbers of macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, and CD4 T cells in the spleens of TRPV1 KO mice were significantly increased compared to those in WT mice 4 days after LPS administration. By noradrenergic denervation, the numbers of those cells in WT mice increased to levels comparable to those in TRPV1 KO mice. SIGNIFICANCE In LPS-induced peritonitis, abdominal inflammatory pain was transmitted via TRPV1. In addition, TRPV1 had an anti-inflammatory effect on the spleen in the late phase of peritonitis. This anti-inflammatory effect was thought to be mediated by activation of the sympathetic nervous system and/or noradrenergic splenic nerve induced by TRPV1 activation.

Abstract
The thermosensory transient receptor potential (thermoTRP) family of ion channels is constituted by several nonselective cation channels that are activated by physical and chemical stimuli functioning as paradigmatic polymodal receptors. Gating of these ion channels is achieved through changes in temperature, osmolarity, voltage, pH, pressure, and by natural or synthetic chemical compounds that directly bind to these proteins to regulate their activity. Given that thermoTRP channels integrate diverse physical and chemical stimuli, a thorough understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying polymodal gating has been pursued, including the interplay between stimuli and differences between family members. Despite its complexity, recent advances in cryo-electron microscopy techniques are facilitating this endeavor by providing high-resolution structures of these channels in different conformational states induced by ligand binding or temperature that, along with structure-function and molecular dynamics, are starting to shed light on the underlying allosteric gating mechanisms. Because dysfunctional thermoTRP channels play a pivotal role in human diseases such as chronic pain, unveiling the intricacies of allosteric channel gating should facilitate the development of novel drug-based resolving therapies for these disorders.

Exposure to highly toxic organophosphorus compounds causes inhibition of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase resulting in a cholinergic toxidrome and innervation of receptors in the neuromuscular junction may cause life-threatening respiratory effects. The involvement of several receptor systems was therefore examined for their impact on bronchoconstriction using an ex vivo rat precision-cut lung slice (PCLS) model. The ability to recover airways with therapeutics following nerve agent exposure was determined by quantitative analyses of muscle contraction. PCLS exposed to nicotine resulted in a dose-dependent bronchoconstriction. The neuromuscular nicotinic antagonist tubocurarine counteracted the nicotine-induced bronchoconstriction but not the ganglion blocker mecamylamine or the common muscarinic antagonist atropine. Correspondingly, atropine demonstrated a significant airway relaxation following ACh-exposure while tubocurarine did not. Atropine, the M3 muscarinic receptor antagonist 4-DAMP, tubocurarine, the β2-adrenergic receptor agonist formoterol, the Na+-channel blocker tetrodotoxin and the KATP-channel opener cromakalim all significantly decreased airway contractions induced by electric field stimulation. Following VX-exposure, treatment with atropine and the Ca2+-channel blocker magnesium sulfate resulted in significant airway relaxation. Formoterol, cromakalim and magnesium sulfate administered in combinations with atropine demonstrated an additive effect. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated improved airway function following nerve agent exposure by adjunct treatment to the standard therapy of atropine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The airway epithelium is a potential source of pathophysiology through activation of transient potential receptor vallinoid type 1 (TRPV1) channel. A positive feedback cycle caused by TRPV1 activity is hypothesised to induce upregulation and production of inflammatory cytokines, leading to exacerbations of chronic airway diseases. These cytokine and protein regulation effects were investigated in this study. METHODS Healthy (BEAS-2B) and cancer-derived (Calu-3) airway epithelial cell lines were assessed for changes to TRPV1 protein expression and mRNA expression following exposure to capsaicin (5 µM to 50 µM), and TRPV1 modulators including heat (43 °C), and hydrochloric acid (pH 3.4 to pH 6.4). Cytotoxicity was measured to determine the working concentration ranges of treatment. Subsequent bronchoconstriction by TRPV1 activation with capsaicin was measured on guinea pig airway tissue to confirm locally mediated activity without the action of known neuronal inputs. RESULTS TRPV1 protein expression was not different for all capsaicin, acidity, and heat exposures (P > 0.05), and was replicated in mRNA protein expression (P > 0.05). IL-6 and IL-8 expression were lower in BEAS-2B and Calu-3 cell lines exposed with acidity and heat (P < 0.05), but not consistently with capsaicin exposure, with potential cytotoxic effects possible. CONCLUSIONS TRPV1 expression was present in airway epithelial cells but its expression was not changed after activation by TRPV1 activators. Thus, it was not apparent the reason for reported TRPV1 upregulation in patients with airway disease states. More complex mechanisms are likely involved and will require further investigation.

Abstract
AIMS Asthma is an airway inflammatory disease that is affected by neurological and psychological factors. The aim of present review is to investigating the relationship between neural functions and neurobiological changes and asthma symptoms. MAIN METHODS The information in this article is provided from articles published in English and reputable database using appropriate keywords from 1970 to October 2020. KEY FINDINGS The symptoms of asthma such as cough, difficult breathing, and mucus secretion get worse when a person is suffering from stress, anxiety, and depression. The function of the insula, anterior cingulate cortex, and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis changes in response to stress and psychological disease; then the stress hormones are produced from neuroendocrine system, which leads to asthma exacerbation. The evidence represents that psychological therapies or neurological rehabilitation reduces the inflammation through modulating the activity of neurocircuitry and the function of brain centers involved in asthma. Moreover, the neurotrophins and neuropeptides are the key mediators in the neuro-immune interactions, which secrete from the airway nerves in response to brain signals, and they could be the target of many new therapies in asthma. SIGNIFICANCE This review provides an insight into the vital role of the central and peripheral nervous system in development and exacerbation of asthma and provides practical approaches and strategies on neural networks to improve the airway inflammation and asthma severity.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma are chronic respiratory diseases with high prevalence and mortality that significantly alter the quality of life in affected patients. While the cellular and molecular mechanisms engaged in the development and evolution of these two conditions are different, COPD and asthma share a wide array of symptoms and clinical signs that may impede differential diagnosis. However, the distinct signaling pathways regulating cough and airway hyperresponsiveness employ the interaction of different cells, molecules, and receptors. Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) plays a major role in cough and airway inflammation. Consequently, its agonist, capsaicin, is of substantial interest in exploring the cellular effects and regulatory pathways that mediate these respiratory conditions. Increasingly more studies emphasize the use of capsaicin for the inhalation cough challenge, yet the involvement of TRPV1 in cough, bronchoconstriction, and the initiation of inflammation has not been entirely revealed. This review outlines a comparative perspective on the effects of capsaicin and its receptor in the pathophysiology of COPD and asthma, underlying the complex entanglement of molecular signals that bridge the alteration of cellular function with the multitude of clinical effects.

Abstract
Background Neurogenic inflammation caused by sevoflurane may not only limite to the nervous system, but also expand to the respiratory system. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression changes of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), neurokinin A (NKA), neurokinin B (NKB), calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP) in 14, 21 and 42-day-old rats after inhaling 0.4% sevoflurane, in order to evaluate whether the residual sevoflurane be harmful to the respiratory system through neurogenic inflammation. Methods The anesthetic inhalation device was designed to allow 14, 21 and 42-day-old rats inhale 0.4% sevoflurane, while rats in the control group inhaled 40% O2 for 1h. Rats in the antagonist group inhaled 0.4% sevoflurane or 40% O2 for 1 h after Capsazepine (CPZ) pretreatment. The expression of TRPV1 in lung tissue was detected by western blot, and the expression of NKA, NKB, CGRP and SP in trachea was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results After inhaling 0.4% sevoflurane, the expression of TRPV1 in lung tissue of 14 and 21-day-old rats was significantly higher than that of the control group, as well as increased the expression of CGRP and SP in the trachea of 14-day-old rats and NKA, NKB, CGRP and SP in the trachea of 21-day-old rats. CPZ pretreatment could antagonize these effects. Conclusion Residual sevoflurane during resuscitation of inhalation anesthesia could induce neurogenic inflammation by activating TRPV1, which damaged to the developing respiratory system, but has no significant effect on the respiratory system in adulthood.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential vanilloid channel 4 (TRPV4) is associated with the development of several pathologies, particularly gastric disorders. However, there are no studies associating this receptor with the pathophysiology of gastric erosions. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of TRPV4 in the development of ethanol-induced gastric damage in vivo. Gastric lesions were induced by ethanol in Swiss mice pretreated with TRPV4 antagonists, GSK2193874 (0.1; 0.3 and 0.9 mg/kg) or Ruthenium red (0.03; 0.1 or 0.3 mg/kg) or its agonist, GSK1016790A (0.9 mg/kg). Gastric mucosal samples were taken for histopathology, immunohistochemistry, atomic force microscopy and evaluation of antioxidant parameters. The gastric mucus content and TRPV4 mRNA expression were analyzed. Ethanol exposure induced upregulation of gastric mRNA and protein expression of TRPV4. TRPV4 blockade promoted gastroprotection against ethanol-induced injury on macro- and microscopic levels, leading to reduced hemorrhage, cell loss and edema and enhanced gastric mucosal integrity. Moreover, an increase in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) activity was observed, followed by a decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. TRPV4 blockade during alcohol challenge reestablished gastric mucus content. The combination of TRPV4 agonist and ethanol revealed macroscopic exacerbation of gastric damage area. Our results confirmed the association of TRPV4 with the development of gastric injury, showing the importance of this receptor for further investigations in the field of gastrointestinal pathophysiology and pharmacology.

Abstract
Objective: Recent studies have indicated a pathophysiologic link between migraine and asthma. This meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively estimate the risk ratio for migraine in asthma as well as that of asthma in migraine based on available evidence. Method: We systematically searched the electronic databases including PubMed, Web of Science, and SCOPUS for population-based studies that measured either the odds or the risk of asthma in subjects with migraine as well as that of migraine in subjects with asthma. The titles and abstracts were screened by two independent reviewers to identify eligible studies, and this was followed by full-text review of the included studies. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess the risk of bias of included literature. A meta-analysis was conducted with Review Manager 5.3 Software to calculate the odds ratio (OR) for case-control and cross-sectional studies and either relative ratio (RR) or hazard ratio (HR) for cohort studies, and the source of heterogeneity was assessed. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted, and the I2 test were used to assess the source of heterogeneity. The funnel plot, Galbraith plot, and Egger's test were used to evaluate publication bias. Results: Fifteen published studies covering a total of 1,188,780 individuals were identified. Pooled analysis indicated that migraine was associated with increased odds (OR = 1.54; 95% CI: 1.34~1.77) and risk for asthma (HR = 1.42; 95% CI: 1.26~1.60), and asthma associated with increased odds (OR = 1.45; 95% CI: 1.22~1.72) and risk for migraine (HR = 1.47; 95% CI: 1.41~1.52). Conclusion: Migraine is a potential risk indicator for asthma, and vice versa, asthma is a potential risk indicator for migraine. However, future prospective cohort studies are warranted to provide more evidence concerning the detailed association between migraine and asthma.

Abstract
Ecological sensing and inflammation have evolved to ensure optima between organism survival and reproductive success in different and changing environments. At the molecular level, ecological sensing consists of many types of receptors located in different tissues that orchestrate integrated responses (immune, neuroendocrine systems) to external and internal stimuli. This review describes emerging data on taste and chemosensory receptors, proposing them as broad ecological sensors and providing evidence that taste perception is shaped not only according to sense epitopes from nutrients but also in response to highly diverse external and internal stimuli. We apply a biological anthropological approach to examine how ecological sensing has been shaped by these stimuli through human evolution for complex interkingdom communication between a host and pathological and symbiotic bacteria, focusing on population-specific genetic diversity. We then focus on how these sensory receptors play a major role in inflammatory processes that form the basis of many modern common metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and aging. The impacts of human niche construction and cultural evolution in shaping environments are described with emphasis on consequent biological responsiveness.

Abstract
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is one of the most crucial systems in the human organism, exhibiting multi-purpose regulatory character. It is engaged in a vast array of physiological processes, including nociception, mood regulation, cognitive functions, neurogenesis and neuroprotection, appetite, lipid metabolism, as well as cell growth and proliferation. Thus, ECS proteins, including cannabinoid receptors and their endogenous ligands’ synthesizing and degrading enzymes, are promising therapeutic targets. Their modulation has been employed in or extensively studied as a treatment of multiple diseases. However, due to a complex nature of ECS and its crosstalk with other biological systems, the development of novel drugs turned out to be a challenging task. In this review, we summarize potential therapeutic applications for ECS-targeting drugs, especially focusing on promising synthetic compounds and preclinical studies. We put emphasis on modulation of specific proteins of ECS in different pathophysiological areas. In addition, we stress possible difficulties and risks and highlight proposed solutions. By presenting this review, we point out information pivotal in the spotlight of ECS-targeting drug design, as well as provide an overview of the current state of knowledge on ECS-related pharmacodynamics and show possible directions for needed research.

Liu D, Yuan J, Fei X, Zhu Y, Zhou Y, Zhang C, Dong L, Zhu Z. Effects of inhalation of sevoflurane at different concentrations on TRPV1 in airways of rats at different developmental stages. Life Sci 2020; 249:117472. [PMID: 32112870 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2020.117472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2019] [Revised: 02/19/2020] [Accepted: 02/24/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
Aim Determine changes in the expressions of the ion channel-TRPV1-and neuropeptides-NKA, NKB, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and SP-in 14-, 21-, and 42-day-old rats after inhaling 1.5% and 2.6% sevoflurane. MAIN METHODS A small in-house inhalation anesthesia chamber was designed to allow 14-, 21-, and 42-day-old rats inhale 1.5% and 2.6% sevoflurane, and rats in the control group inhaled carrier gas(1 L/min air +1 L/min O2). In addition, 14- and 21-day-old rats were pretreated with capsazepine, followed by inhalation of 1.5% and 2.6% sevoflurane or the carrier gas. The expression of TRPV1 in lung tissues was detected by Western blotting, whereas the expressions of NKA, NKB, CGRP, and SP in the trachea were detected by immunohistochemistry. KEY FINDINGS After inhalation of 1.5% sevoflurane, the expression of TRPV1 in the lung tissues of 14- and 21-day-old rats was significantly increased compared with that in the control group, which was antagonized by capsazepine pretreatment. Moreover, inhalation of 1.5% sevoflurane markedly increased the expressions of NKA, NKB, CGRP, and SP in the trachea of 21-day-old rats and of NKB, CGRP, and SP in the trachea of 14-day-old rats. The expressions of these molecules were antagonized by capsazepine pretreatment. Conversely, inhalation of 2.6% sevoflurane decreased the expressions of NKA and NKB in the trachea of 42-day-old rats. SIGNIFICANCE Sevoflurane did not upregulate the expression of TRPV1 in the airways of late-developing rats. This anesthetic may have a two-way effect on airways, resulting in considerable effects in pediatric clinical anesthesia management.

Abstract
Process of inflammation and complex interactions between immune and cancer cells within tumor microenvironment are known to drive and shape the outcome of the neoplastic disease. Recent studies increasingly show that ion channels can be used as potential targets to modulate immune response and to treat inflammatory disorders and cancer. The action of both innate and adaptive immune cells is tightly regulated by ionic signals provided by a network of distinct ion channels. TRPV1 channel, known as a capsaicin receptor, was recently documented to be expressed on the cells of the immune system but also aberrantly expressed in the several tumor types. It is activated by heat, protons, proinflammatory cytokines, and associated with pain and inflammation. TRPV1 channel is not only involved in calcium signaling fundamental for many cellular processes but also takes part in cell-environment crosstalk influencing cell behavior. Furthermore, in several studies, activation of TRPV1 by capsaicin was associated with anti-cancer effects. Therefore, TRPV1 provides a potential link between the process of inflammation, cancer and immunity, and offers new treatment possibilities. Nevertheless, in many cases, results regarding TRPV1 are contradictory and need further refinement. In this review we present the summary of the data related to the role of TRPV1 channel in the process of inflammation, cancer and immunity, limitations of the studies, and directions for future research.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2019; 16:ijerph16091519. [PMID: 31035724 PMCID: PMC6538991 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph16091519] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2019] [Revised: 04/18/2019] [Accepted: 04/23/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Spices have been known for their various health activities; however, they also possess the allergic potential for the respiratory system and the skin as they are fine particulate matter. Persons involved in spice agriculture and food industries are at greater risk since they are exposed to a considerable amount of combustible dust, which may be the cause of fire and explosion and adversely affect the health. These workers may experience allergy, long-term and short-term respiratory issues including occupational asthma, dermatitis, etc. Some spices induce T cell-based inflammatory reaction upon contact recognition of the antigen. Antigen Presenting Cells (APC) on binding to the causative metabolite results in activation of macrophages by allergen cytokine interleukin (IL)-12 and tumor necrosis factor-beta (TNF). Cross-reactivity for protein allergens is another factor which seems to be a significant trigger for the stimulation of allergic reactions. Thus, it was imperative to perform a systematic review along with bioinformatics based representation of some evident allergens has been done to identify the overall conservation of epitopes. In the present manuscript, we have covered a multifold approach, i.e., to categorize the spice particles based on a clear understanding about nature, origin, mechanisms; to assess metabolic reactions of the particles after exposure as well as knowledge on the conditions of exposure along with associated potential health effects. Another aim of this study is to provide some suggestions to prevent and to control the exposure up to some extent.
