Quercetin as a promising intervention for rat osteoarthritis by decreasing M1-polarized macrophages via blocking the TRPV1-mediated P2X7/NLRP3 signaling pathway. Phytother Res 2024; 38:1990-2006. [PMID: 38372204 DOI: 10.1002/ptr.8158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024]
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by an imbalance between M1 and M2 polarized synovial macrophages. Quercetin has shown protective effects against OA by altering M1/M2-polarized macrophages, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, rat chondrocytes were treated with 10 ng/mL of IL-1β. To create M1-polarized macrophages in vitro, rat bone marrow-derived macrophages (rBMDMs) were treated with 100 ng/mL LPS. To mimic OA conditions observed in vivo, a co-culture system of chondrocytes and macrophages was established. ATP release assays, immunofluorescence assays, Fluo-4 AM staining, Transwell assays, ELISA assays, and flow cytometry were performed. Male adult Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were used to create an OA model. Histological analyses, including H&E, and safranin O-fast green staining were performed. Our data showed a quercetin-mediated suppression of calcium ion influx and ATP release, with concurrent downregulation of TRPV1 and P2X7 in the chondrocytes treated with IL-1β. Activation of TRPV1 abolished the quercetin-mediated effects on calcium ion influx and ATP release in chondrocytes treated with IL-1β. In the co-culture system, overexpression of P2X7 in macrophages attenuated the quercetin-mediated effects on M1 polarization, migration, and inflammation. Either P2X7 or NLRP3 knockdown attenuated IL-1β-induced M1/M2 polarization, migration, and inflammation. Moreover, overexpression of TRPV1 reduced the quercetin-mediated suppressive effects on OA by promoting M1/M2-polarized macrophages in vivo. Collectively, our data showed that quercetin-induced suppression of TRPV1 leads to a delay in OA progression by shifting the macrophage polarization from M1 to M2 subtypes via modulation of the P2X7/NLRP3 pathway.

Abstract
This study aims to determine the molecular mechanisms and analgesic effects of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) in the treatments of osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We summarize and analyse current studies regarding the biological functions and mechanisms of TRPV1 in arthritis. We search and analyse the related literature in Google Scholar, Web of Science and PubMed databases from inception to September 2023 through the multi-combination of keywords like 'TRPV1', 'ion channel', 'osteoarthritis', 'rheumatoid arthritis' and 'pain'. TRPV1 plays a crucial role in regulating downstream gene expression and maintaining cellular function and homeostasis, especially in chondrocytes, synovial fibroblasts, macrophages and osteoclasts. In addition, TRPV1 is located in sensory nerve endings and plays an important role in nerve sensitization, defunctionalization or central sensitization. TRPV1 is a non-selective cation channel protein. Extensive evidence in recent years has established the significant involvement of TRPV1 in the development of arthritis pain and inflammation, positioning it as a promising therapeutic target for arthritis. TRPV1 likely represents a feasible therapeutic target for the treatment of OA and RA.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal disorders represent one of the main causes of disability worldwide, and their prevalence is predicted to increase in the coming decades. Stem cell therapy may be a promising option for the treatment of some of the musculoskeletal diseases. Although significant progress has been made in musculoskeletal stem cell research, osteoarthritis, the most-common musculoskeletal disorder, still lacks curative treatment. To fine-tune stem-cell-based therapy, it is necessary to focus on the underlying biological mechanisms. Ion channels and the bioelectric signals they generate control the proliferation, differentiation, and migration of musculoskeletal progenitor cells. Calcium- and voltage-activated potassium (KCa) channels are key players in cell physiology in cells of the musculoskeletal system. This review article focused on the big conductance (BK) KCa channels. The regulatory function of BK channels requires interactions with diverse sets of proteins that have different functions in tissue-resident stem cells. In this narrative review article, we discuss the main ion channels of musculoskeletal stem cells, with a focus on calcium-dependent potassium channels, especially on the large conductance BK channel. We review their expression and function in progenitor cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration and highlight gaps in current knowledge on their involvement in musculoskeletal diseases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chondrocytes perceive and respond to mechanical loading as signals that regulate their metabolism. Joint loading exposes chondrocytes to multiple modes of mechanical stress, including hydrostatic pressure; however, the mechanisms by which chondrocytes sense physiologically relevant levels of hydrostatic pressure are not well understood. We hypothesized that hydrostatic pressure is transduced to an intracellular signal through mechanosensitive membrane ion channels of chondrocytes. The goals of this study were to examine the effect of hydrostatic loading on the development of engineered cartilage tissue and the contribution of mechanosensitive ion channels on these hydrostatic loading effects. METHODS Using a 3D model of porcine chondrocytes in agarose, we applied specific chemical inhibitors to determine the role of transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels TRPV1, TRPV4, TRPC3, and TRPC1 in transducing hydrostatic pressure. RESULTS Hydrostatic loading caused a frequency and magnitude-dependent decrease in sulfated glycosaminoglycans (S-GAG), without changes in DNA content. Inhibiting TRPC3 and TRPV4 decreased S-GAG content; however, only the inhibition of TRPV1 partially attenuated the hydrostatic loading-induced reduction in S-GAG content. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that TRPV1 may serve as a transducer of hydrostatic pressure in chondrocytes, and provide further support for the role of TRPV4 in regulating chondrocyte anabolism, as well as initial evidence implicating TRPC3 in chondrogenesis. These findings add to our further understanding of the chondrocyte "channelome" and suggest that a range of ion channels mediate the transduction of different biophysical stimuli such as hydrostatic pressure, membrane stretch, or osmotic stress.

Abstract
Articular cartilage consists of an extracellular matrix including many proteins as well as embedded chondrocytes. Articular cartilage formation and function are influenced by mechanical forces. Hind limb unloading or simulated microgravity causes articular cartilage loss, suggesting the importance of the healthy mechanical environment in articular cartilage homeostasis and implying a significant role of appropriate mechanical stimulation in articular cartilage degeneration. Mechanosensitive ion channels participate in regulating the metabolism of articular chondrocytes, including matrix protein production and extracellular matrix synthesis. Mechanical stimuli, including fluid shear stress, stretch, compression and cell swelling and decreased mechanical conditions (such as simulated microgravity) can alter the membrane potential and regulate the metabolism of articular chondrocytes via transmembrane ion channel-induced ionic fluxes. This process includes Ca2+ influx and the resulting mobilization of Ca2+ that is due to massive released Ca2+ from stores, intracellular cation efflux and extracellular cation influx. This review brings together published information on mechanosensitive ion channels, such as stretch-activated channels (SACs), voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs), large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (BKCa channels), Ca2+-activated K+ channels (SKCa channels), voltage-activated H+ channels (VAHCs), acid sensing ion channels (ASICs), transient receptor potential (TRP) family channels, and piezo1/2 channels. Data based on epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs), purinergic receptors and N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are also included. These channels mediate mechanoelectrical physiological processes essential for converting physical force signals into biological signals. The primary channel-mediated effects and signaling pathways regulated by these mechanosensitive ion channels can influence the progression of osteoarthritis during the mechanosensory and mechanoadaptive process of articular chondrocytes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Transient receptor potential vanilloid channel 2 (TRPV2) is a Ca2+ -permeable channel and plays a role in mediating intracellular Ca2+ current via mechanical stimuli. This study was undertaken to examine the expression and role of TRPV2 in adult articular cartilage and the development of osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS We examined TRPV2 expression in mouse and human articular cartilage. We analyzed the development of OA in Col2a1-CreERt2 ;Trpv2fl/fl mice and Trpv2fl/fl littermates in the resection of the medial meniscus and medial collateral ligament model (n = 5 each), the destabilization of the medial meniscus model (n = 5 each), and the aging mouse model (n = 8-9 each). We examined marker protein expression in these joints, Ca2+ influx by mechanical stimuli, and downstream pathways in vitro. RESULTS TRPV2 was expressed in mouse and human articular cartilage and ectopic ossification lesions. In all mouse models of OA examined, Col2a1-CreERt2 ;Trpv2fl/fl mice were observed to have enhanced degradation of articular cartilage accompanied by decreased expression of lubricin/Prg4, and marked formation of periarticular ectopic ossification. Mechanical stress-induced Ca2+ influx was decreased by Trpv2 knockout (KO). Prg4 induction by fluid-flow shear stress was diminished in Trpv2-KO mouse chondrocytes, and this was mediated by the Ca2+ /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase-cyclic AMP response element binding protein axis. Hypertrophic differentiation was enhanced in Trpv2-KO mouse chondrocytes. Increased activity of calcineurin and nuclear translocation of nuclear factor in activated T cells 1 induced by fluid-flow shear stress or TRP agonist treatment was reversed by Trpv2 knockout. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate regulation of articular cartilage by TRPV2 through Prg4 induction and suppression of ectopic ossification.

Abstract
Purpose: Trochlear dysplasia is one of the most frequent lower extremities deformities. Aim of this research was to investigate the changes in cartilage and subchondral bone of trochlea after patellar dislocation in growing rabbits. Materials and Methods: Ninety-six knees from 48 one-month-old rabbits were divided into two groups (experimental, control). Lateral patellar dislocation was established in the experimental group and distal femurs were collected at 4, 8, 12 and 24-week time points, respectively. General examination and histological observations were conducted to research the anatomical structure of the trochlear cartilage and subchondral bone. Structural parameters of trochlear subchondral bone were measured by MicroCT. Subsequently, the expression of TRPV4, collagen II and MMP-13 in cartilage were detected by western blot and RT-PCR analysis, respectively.Results: Subchondral bone loss was found in experimental group from 4 weeks after patellar dislocation, accompanied by increased TRAP-positive osteoclasts in subchondral bone. The trochlear dysplasia model was well established from 8 weeks after patellar dislocation. In addition, degeneration of cartilage was found from 8 weeks, accompanied by decreased expression of mechanically sensitive TRPV4 and collagen II, and increased expression of MMP-13.Conclusions: This study proved that trochlear dysplasia can be caused by patellar dislocation in growing rabbits, accompanied by significant subchondral bone loss. What is more, this study also shows that degenerative cartilage changes occur in the patellar dislocation model and become aggravated with time, accompanied by decreased TRPV4 and collagen II, but increased MMP-13.

Abstract
Biomechanical factors play an extremely important role in regulating the function of articular chondrocytes. Understanding the mechanical factors that drive chondrocyte biological responses is at the heart of our interpretation of cascade events leading to changes in articular cartilage osteoarthritis. The mechanism by which mechanical load is transduced into intracellular signals that can regulate chondrocyte gene expression remains largely unknown. The mechanically sensitive ion channel (MSC) may be one of its specific mechanisms. This review focuses on four ion channels involved in the mechanotransduction of chondrocytes, exploring their properties and the main factors that activate the associated pathways. The upstream and downstream potential relationships between the protein pathways were also explored. The specific biophysical mechanism of the chondrocyte mechanical microenvironment is becoming the focus of research. Elucidating the mechanotransduction mechanism of MSC is essential for the research of biophysical pathogenesis and targeted drugs in cartilage injury-related diseases.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the main cell players in tissue repair and thanks to their self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation capabilities, they gained significant attention as cell source for tissue engineering (TE) approaches aimed at restoring bone and cartilage defects. Despite significant progress, their therapeutic application remains debated: the TE construct often fails to completely restore the biomechanical properties of the native tissue, leading to poor clinical outcomes in the long term. Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) are currently used as a safe and non-invasive treatment to enhance bone healing and to provide joint protection. PEMFs enhance both osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs. Here, we provide extensive review of the signaling pathways modulated by PEMFs during MSCs osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation. Particular attention has been given to the PEMF-mediated activation of the adenosine signaling and their regulation of the inflammatory response as key player in TE approaches. Overall, the application of PEMFs in tissue repair is foreseen: (1) in vitro: to improve the functional and mechanical properties of the engineered construct; (2) in vivo: (i) to favor graft integration, (ii) to control the local inflammatory response, and (iii) to foster tissue repair from both implanted and resident MSCs cells.

Abstract
The exosomes derived from chondrogenic stem cells and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a key role in cartilage regeneration. Here, we investigated the expression profile of exosomal lncRNAs in chondrogenesis of human adipose derived stem cells (hADSCs). hADSCs were induced to differentiate into chondrocytes in vitro. Exosomes from undifferentiated hADSCs and chondrogenic hADSCs were isolated. LncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in the isolated exosomes were analyzed by RNA sequencing. The resultant data were subjected to gene ontology (GO) terms and KEGG pathway analysis to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs. We identified 23 upregulated and 163 downregulated lncRNAs in exosomes derived from chondrogenic hADSCs compared to that in exosomes from undifferentiated hADSCs. In addition, analysis of mRNA expression data revealed 968 upregulated genes and 572 downregulated genes in exosomes of chondrogenic hADSCs. Lncrna and mRNA expression levels were further validated by qRT-PCR. Differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs were utilized to construct a coding-non-coding gene co-expression network (CNC network). GO terms and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed several significant processes differentially regulated between undifferentiated hADSCs and chondrogenic hADSCs. Taken together, this study revealed the differential expression of exosomal lncRNAs of chondrogenic hADSCs and provided a foundation for future study on the cartilage recovery mechanism of exosomes derived from chondrogenic stem cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although running causes inevitable stress to the joints, data regarding its effect on the cartilage of the knee are conflicting. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of running on knee joint cartilage. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, SportDiscus, and Cochrane Library databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies. The outcome indicators were cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), cartilage volume and thickness, and T2. RESULTS A total of two RCTs and 13 cohort studies were included. There was no significant difference in cartilage volume between the running and control groups (MD, -115.88 U/I; 95% CI, -320.03 to 88.27; p = 0.27). However, running would decrease cartilage thickness (MD, -0.09 mm; 95%CI, -0.18 to -0.01; p = 0.03) and T2 (MD, -2.78 ms; 95% CI, -4.12 to -1.45; p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis demonstrated that COMP immediately or at 0.5 h after running was significantly increased, but there were no significant changes at 1 h or 2 h. CONCLUSIONS Running has advantages in promoting nutrition penetrating into the cartilage as well as squeezing out the metabolic substance, such as water. Our study found that running had a short-term adverse effect on COMP and did not affect cartilage volume or thickness.

Hydrogen Sulfide-Evoked Intracellular Ca 2+ Signals in Primary Cultures of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Cells. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12113338. [PMID: 33187307 PMCID: PMC7696676 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12113338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2020] [Revised: 11/05/2020] [Accepted: 11/06/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common type of gastrointestinal cancer and the third most predominant cancer in the world. CRC is potentially curable with surgical resection of the primary tumor. The clinical problem of colorectal cancer, however, is the spread and outgrowth of metastases, which are difficult to eradicate and lead to a patient’s death. The failure of conventional treatment to significantly improved outcomes in mCRC has prompted the search for alternative molecular targets with the goal of ameliorating the prognosis of these patients. The present investigation revealed that exogenous delivery of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) suppresses proliferation in metastatic colorectal cancer cells by inducing an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration. H2S was effective on metastatic, but not normal, cells. Therefore, we propose that exogenous administration of H2S to patients affected by metastatic colorectal carcinoma could represent a promising therapeutic alternative. Abstract Exogenous administration of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is emerging as an alternative anticancer treatment. H2S-releasing compounds have been shown to exert a strong anticancer effect by suppressing proliferation and/or inducing apoptosis in several cancer cell types, including colorectal carcinoma (CRC). The mechanism whereby exogenous H2S affects CRC cell proliferation is yet to be clearly elucidated, but it could involve an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). Herein, we sought to assess for the first time whether (and how) sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), one of the most widely employed H2S donors, induced intracellular Ca2+ signals in primary cultures of human metastatic CRC (mCRC) cells. We provided the evidence that NaHS induced extracellular Ca2+ entry in mCRC cells by activating the Ca2+-permeable channel Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) followed by the Na+-dependent recruitment of the reverse-mode of the Na+/Ca2+ (NCX) exchanger. In agreement with these observations, TRPV1 protein was expressed and capsaicin, a selective TRPV1 agonist, induced Ca2+ influx by engaging both TRPV1 and NCX in mCRC cells. Finally, NaHS reduced mCRC cell proliferation, but did not promote apoptosis or aberrant mitochondrial depolarization. These data support the notion that exogenous administration of H2S may prevent mCRC cell proliferation through an increase in [Ca2+]i, which is triggered by TRPV1.

Abstract
Sperm cells perform precise chemotactic and thermotactic movement which is crucial for fertilization. However, the key molecules involved in detection of different chemical and physical stimuli which guide the sperm during navigation are not well understood. Ca2+ -signalling mediated by ion channels seem to play important role in motility and other fertility parameters. In this work, we explored the endogenous localization pattern of TRPV channels in the mature spermatozoa of avian species. Using sperm from white pekin duck (Anas platyrhynchos) as the representative avian model, we demonstrate that duck sperm endogenously express the thermosensitive channels TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV3, TRPV4, and highly Ca2+ -selective channels TRPV5 and TRPV6 in specific yet differential locations. All of these TRPV channels are enriched in the sperm tail, indicating their relevance in sperm motility. Interestingly, the TRPV3 and TRPV4 channels are present in the mitochondrial region. Calcium selective TRPV5 channel is exclusively present in sperm tail and is most abundant among the TRPV channels. This is the first report describing the endogenous presence of TRPV2 and TRPV3 channels in the sperm of any species. Using confocal imaging and super-resolution imaging, we demonstrate that though the TRPV channels are evolutionarily closely related, they have distinct localization pattern in the duck sperm, which could impact their role in fertilization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lack of specific marker-sets prohibits definition and functional distinction of cellular subtypes in the intervertebral disc (IVD), such as those from the annulus fibrosus (AF) and the nucleus pulposus (NP). DESIGN We recently generated immortalized cell lines from human NP and AF tissues; these comprise a set of functionally distinct clonal subtypes. Whole transcriptome analyses were performed of 12 phenotypically distinct clonal cell lines (4× NP-Responder, 4× NP-nonResponder, 2× AF-Sheet forming, and 2× AF-nonSheet forming). Data sets were filtered for membrane-associated marker genes and compared to literature. RESULTS Comparison of our immortal cell lines to published primary NP, AF, and articular chondrocytes (AC) transcriptome datasets revealed preservation of AF and NP phenotypes. NP-specific membrane-associated genes were defined by comparison to AF cells in both the primary dataset (46 genes) and immortal cell-lines (161 genes). Definition of AF-specific membrane-associated genes yielded 125 primary AF cell and 92 immortal cell-line markers. Overlap between primary and immortal NP cells yielded high-confidence NP-specific marker genes for NP-R (CLDN11, TMEFF2, CA12, ANXA2, CD44) and NP-nR (EFNA1, NETO2, SLC2A1). Overlap between AF and immortal AF subtypes yielded specific markers for AF-S (COLEC12, LPAR1) and AF-nS (CHIC1). CONCLUSIONS The current study provides a reference platform for preclinical evaluation of novel membrane-associated cell type-specific markers in the IVD. Future research will focus on their biological relevance for IVD function in development, homeostasis, and degenerate conditions.

Abstract
Some members of the transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) subfamily of cation channels are thermosensitive. Earlier studies have revealed the distribution and functions of these thermo‐TRPVs (TRPV1–4) in various organs, but their expression and function in the human esophagus are not fully understood. Here, we probed for the expression of the thermo‐TRPVs in one nontumor human esophageal squamous cell line and two esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cell lines. TRPV1, TRPV2, and TRPV4 proteins were found to be upregulated in ESCC cells, while TRPV3 was not detectable in any of these cell lines. Subsequently, channel function was evaluated via monitoring of Ca2+ transients by Ca2+ imaging and nonselective cation channel currents were recorded by whole‐cell patch clamp. We found that TRPV4 was activated by heat at 28 °C–35 °C, whereas TRPV1 and TRPV2 were activated by higher, noxious temperatures (44 °C and 53 °C, respectively). Furthermore, TRPV1 was activated by capsaicin (EC50 = 20.32 μm), and this effect was antagonized by AMG9810; TRPV2 was activated by a newly developed cannabinoid compound, O1821, and inhibited by tranilast. In addition, TRPV4 was activated by hypotonic solutions (220 m Osm), and this effect was abolished by ruthenium red. The effects of TRPV1 and TRPV4 on ESCC were also explored. Our data, for the first time, showed that the overactivation of TRPV1 and TRPV4 promoted the proliferation and/or migration of ESCC cells. In summary, TRPV1, TRPV2, and TRPV4 were functionally expressed in human esophageal squamous cells, and thermo‐TRPVs might play an important role in the development of ESCC.

Abstract
Chondrocytes are the main cells in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of articular cartilage and possess a highly differentiated phenotype that is the hallmark of the unique physiological functions of this specialised load-bearing connective tissue. The plasma membrane of articular chondrocytes contains a rich and diverse complement of membrane proteins, known as the membranome, which defines the cell surface phenotype of the cells. The membranome is a key target of pharmacological agents and is important for chondrocyte function. It includes channels, transporters, enzymes, receptors, and anchors for intracellular, cytoskeletal and ECM proteins and other macromolecular complexes. The chondrocyte channelome is a sub-compartment of the membranome and includes a complete set of ion channels and porins expressed in these cells. Many of these are multi-functional proteins with "moonlighting" roles, serving as channels, receptors and signalling components of larger molecular assemblies. The aim of this review is to summarise our current knowledge of the fundamental aspects of the chondrocyte channelome, discuss its relevance to cartilage biology and highlight its possible role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). Excessive and inappropriate mechanical loads, an inflammatory micro-environment, alternative splicing of channel components or accumulation of basic calcium phosphate crystals can result in an altered chondrocyte channelome impairing its function. Alterations in Ca2+ signalling may lead to defective synthesis of ECM macromolecules and aggravated catabolic responses in chondrocytes, which is an important and relatively unexplored aspect of the complex and poorly understood mechanism of OA development.

Abstract
Birth defects of the heart and face are common, and most have no known genetic cause, suggesting a role for environmental factors. Maternal fever during the first trimester is an environmental risk factor linked to these defects. Neural crest cells are precursor populations essential to the development of both at-risk tissues. We report that two heat-activated transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels, TRPV1 and TRPV4, were present in neural crest cells during critical windows of heart and face development. TRPV1 antagonists protected against the development of hyperthermia-induced defects in chick embryos. Treatment with chemical agonists of TRPV1 or TRPV4 replicated hyperthermia-induced birth defects in chick and zebrafish embryos. To test whether transient TRPV channel permeability in neural crest cells was sufficient to induce these defects, we engineered iron-binding modifications to TRPV1 and TRPV4 that enabled remote and noninvasive activation of these channels in specific cellular locations and at specific developmental times in chick embryos with radio-frequency electromagnetic fields. Transient stimulation of radio frequency-controlled TRP channels in neural crest cells replicated fever-associated defects in developing chick embryos. Our data provide a previously undescribed mechanism for congenital defects, whereby hyperthermia activates ion channels that negatively affect fetal development.

Activation of TRPV3 Regulates Inflammatory Actions of Human Epidermal Keratinocytes. J Invest Dermatol 2017; 138:365-374. [PMID: 28964718 DOI: 10.1016/j.jid.2017.07.852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 56] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2017] [Revised: 07/07/2017] [Accepted: 07/19/2017] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels were first characterized on neurons, where they are classically implicated in sensory functions; however, research in recent decades has shown that many of these channels are also expressed on nonneuronal cell types. Emerging findings have highlighted the role of TRP channels in the skin, where they have been shown to be important in numerous cutaneous functions. Of particular interest is TRPV3, which was first described on keratinocytes. Its functional importance was supported when its gain-of-function mutation was linked to Olmsted syndrome, which is characterized by palmoplantar keratoderma, periorifacial hyperkeratosis, diffuse hypotrichosis and alopecia, and itch. Despite these exciting results, we have no information about the role and functionality of TRPV3 on keratinocytes at the cellular level. In this study, we identified TRPV3 expression both on human skin and cultured epidermal keratinocytes. TRPV3 stimulation was found to function as a Ca2+-permeable ion channel that suppresses proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes and induces cell death. Stimulation of the channel also triggers a strong proinflammatory response via the NF-κB pathway. Collectively, our data show that TRPV3 is functionally expressed on human epidermal keratinocytes and that it plays a role in cutaneous inflammatory processes.

Abstract
Pulse electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) have been shown to recruit calcium-signaling cascades common to chondrogenesis. Here we document the effects of specified PEMF parameters over mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) chondrogenic differentiation. MSCs undergoing chondrogenesis are preferentially responsive to an electromagnetic efficacy window defined by field amplitude, duration and frequency of exposure. Contrary to conventional practice of administering prolonged and repetitive exposures to PEMFs, optimal chondrogenic outcome is achieved in response to brief (10 minutes), low intensity (2 mT) exposure to 6 ms bursts of magnetic pulses, at 15 Hz, administered only once at the onset of chondrogenic induction. By contrast, repeated exposures diminished chondrogenic outcome and could be attributed to calcium entry after the initial induction. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels appear to mediate these aspects of PEMF stimulation, serving as a conduit for extracellular calcium. Preventing calcium entry during the repeated PEMF exposure with the co-administration of EGTA or TRP channel antagonists precluded the inhibition of differentiation. This study highlights the intricacies of calcium homeostasis during early chondrogenesis and the constraints that are placed on PEMF-based therapeutic strategies aimed at promoting MSC chondrogenesis. The demonstrated efficacy of our optimized PEMF regimens has clear clinical implications for future regenerative strategies for cartilage.

Analgesic and Anti-Inflammatory Effects of the Novel Semicarbazide-Sensitive Amine-Oxidase Inhibitor SzV-1287 in Chronic Arthritis Models of the Mouse. Sci Rep 2017; 7:39863. [PMID: 28067251 PMCID: PMC5220351 DOI: 10.1038/srep39863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2016] [Accepted: 11/28/2016] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) catalyses oxidative deamination of primary amines. Since there is no data about its function in pain and arthritis mechanisms, we investigated the effects of our novel SSAO inhibitor SzV-1287 in chronic mouse models of joint inflammation. Effects of SzV-1287 (20 mg/kg i.p./day) were investigated in the K/BxN serum-transfer and complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-evoked active immunization models compared to the reference SSAO inhibitor LJP-1207. Mechanonociception was assessed by aesthesiometry, oedema by plethysmometry, clinical severity by scoring, joint function by grid test, myeloperoxidase activity by luminescence, vascular leakage by fluorescence in vivo imaging, histopathological changes by semiquantitative evaluation, and cytokines by Luminex assay. SzV-1287 significantly inhibited hyperalgesia and oedema in both models. Plasma leakage and keratinocyte chemoattractant production in the tibiotarsal joint, but not myeloperoxidase activity was significantly reduced by SzV-1287 in K/BxN-arthritis. SzV-1287 did not influence vascular and cellular mechanisms in CFA-arthritis, but significantly decreased histopathological alterations. There was no difference in the anti-hyperalgesic and anti-inflammatory actions of SzV-1287 and LJP-1207, but only SzV-1287 decreased CFA-induced tissue damage. Unlike SzV-1287, LJP-1207 induced cartilage destruction, which was confirmed in vitro. SzV-1287 exerts potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions in chronic arthritis models of distinct mechanisms, without inducing cartilage damage.
