Abstract
The incidence of liver disease continues to rise, encompassing a spectrum from simple steatosis or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis and liver cancer. Dietary habits in individuals with liver disease may significantly impact the treatment and prevention of these conditions. This article examines the role of chili peppers, a common dietary component, in this context, focusing on capsaicin, the active ingredient in chili peppers. Capsaicin is an agonist of the transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily 1 (TRPV1) and has been shown to exert protective effects on liver diseases, including liver injury, NAFLD, liver fibrosis and liver cancer. These protective effects are attributed to capsaicin's anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-steatosis and anti-fibrosis effects. This article reviewed the different molecular mechanisms of the protective effect of capsaicin on liver diseases.

[PMID: 38960111 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.06.034] [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: 04/15/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted attention as a highly effective non-invasive treatment method. However, the high localized temperatures (>50 °C) required for its treatment will inevitably cause damage to the surrounding normal tissues. Therefore, it is important to develop novel and effective strategies to achieve mild photothermal therapy (mPTT). The overexpression of heat shock proteins (HSPs), a widespread heat stress protein, leads to the generation of heat resistance in cancer cells, which seriously affects the therapeutic effect. Thus, inhibiting the expression of HSPs to reduce the heat resistance of tumor cells is expected to enhance the therapeutic effect of mPTT. Here, we successfully synthesized a fluorescent probe bonded with an amphiphilic polypeptide to a cyanine dye and achieved physical encapsulation of the blocker SB705498 through a self-assembly process. SB705498 promotes transient receptor potential vanilloid member 1 (TRPV1) channel blockade that can inhibit the translocation of the heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF 1) by blocking the influx of calcium and thus affecting the expression of HSPs, which has the potential to enhance the thermotherapy of cancer under mild conditions. In addition, the nanoparticles enabled NIR-II fluorescence imaging with good stability and high photothermal conversion efficiency (48.10 %). Therefore, this study provides a new strategy for realizing precise mPTT(<45 °C) guided by NIR-II imaging. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Inhibition of overexpression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in cancer photothermal therapy (PTT) is expected to enhance the therapeutic effect of mild photothermal therapy (mPTT). In this study, we synthesized a fluorescent probe bonded to cyanine dyes with amphiphilic polypeptides and physically wrapped the blocker SB705498 through a self-assembly process. As a transient receptor potential vanillin 1 (TRPV1) channel blocker, SB705498 inhibits heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) translocation by blocking calcium ion influx, thereby improving mPTT efficacy by inhibiting the expression of HSPs. The nanoparticles also enable NIR-II fluorescence imaging with good stability and high photothermal conversion efficiency (48.10 %). Thus, this study provides a new strategy for NIR-II mPTT.

Targeting Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin-2 (TRPM2) Enhances Therapeutic Efficacy of Third Generation EGFR Inhibitors against EGFR Mutant Lung Cancer. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024:e2310126.

Abstract
There is an urgent need to fully understand the biology of third generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), particularly osimertinib, and to develop mechanism-driven strategies to manage their acquired resistance. Transient receptor potential melastatin-2 (TRPM2) functions as an important regulator of Ca2+ influx, but its role in mediating therapeutic efficacies of EGFR-TKIs and acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs has been rarely studied. This study has demonstrated a previously undiscovered role of suppression of TRPM2 and subsequent inhibition of Ca2+ influx and induction of ROS and DNA damage in mediating apoptosis induction and the therapeutic efficacy of osimertinib against EGFR mutant NSCLC. The rebound elevation represents a key mechanism accounting for the emergence of acquired resistance to osimertinib and other third generation EGFR-TKIs. Accordingly, targeting TRPM2 is a potentially promising strategy for overcoming and preventing acquired resistance to osimertinib, warranting further study in this direction including the development of cancer therapy-optimized TRPM2 inhibitors.

Capsaicin exerts synergistic pro-apoptotic effects with cisplatin in TSCC through the calpain pathway via TRPV1. J Cancer 2024; 15:4801-4817.

Abstract
Capsaicin (CAP) exerts significant anti-tumor effects on a variety of tumors, with low intrinsic toxicity. Cisplatin (DDP) is currently the first-line drug for the treatment of oral cancer; however, its clinical efficacy is impeded by chemoresistance and negligible side effects. Whether the combined use of CAP and DDP has a synergistic antitumor effect on tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) cells and its underlying mechanisms remains unclear. The present study revealed that CAP reduced the activity of TSCC cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. We also observed changes in the mitochondrial functional structure of TSCC cells, along with the induction of mitochondrial apoptosis. Moreover, when CAP was combined with DDP, a synergistic cytotoxic effect on TSCC cells was observed, which had a significant impact on inducing apoptosis, inhibiting proliferation, and disrupting the mitochondrial membrane potential in TSCC cells compared to the single-drug treatment and control groups. These effects are associated with TRPV1, a high-affinity CAP receptor. The combined use of CAP and DDP can activate the TRPV1 receptor, resulting in intracellular Ca2+ overload and activation of the calpain pathway, ultimately leading to mitochondrial apoptosis. This potential mechanism was validated in TSCC xenograft models. In conclusion, our findings clearly demonstrate that CAP exerts synergistic pro-apoptotic effects with DDP in TSCC through the calpain pathway mediated by TRPV1. Thus, CAP can be considered an effective adjuvant drug for DDP in the treatment of TSCC.

TRPV1 inhibition suppresses non-small cell lung cancer progression by inhibiting tumour growth and enhancing the immune response. Cell Oncol (Dordr) 2024; 47:779-791. [PMID: 37902941 DOI: 10.1007/s13402-023-00894-7] [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] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/01/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE TRPV1 is a nonselective Ca2+ channel protein that is widely expressed and plays an important role during the occurrence and development of many cancers. Activation of TRPV1 channels can affect tumour progression by regulating proliferation, apoptosis and migration. Some studies have also shown that activating TRPV1 can affect tumour progression by modulating tumour immunity. However, the effects of TRPV1 on the development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have not been explored clearly. METHOD The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and spatial transcriptomics datasets from 10 × Genomics were used to analyze TRPV1 expression in various tumour tissues. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were examined by cell counting kit 8 (CCK8), colony formation, and flow cytometry. Immunohistochemistry, qPCR, and western blotting were used to determine the mRNA and protein expression levels of TRPV1 and other related molecules. Tumour xenografts in BALB/C and C57BL/6J mice were used to determine the effects of TRPV1 on NSCLC development in vivo. Neurotransmitter content was examined by LC-MS/MS, ELISA and Immunohistochemistry. Immune cell infiltration was assessed by flow cytometry. RESULTS In this study, we found that TRPV1 expression was significantly upregulated in NSCLC and that patients with high TRPV1 expression had a poor prognosis. TRPV1 knockdown can significantly inhibit NSCLC proliferation and induce cell apoptosis through Ca2+-IGF1R signaling. In addition, TRPV1 knockdown resulted in increased infiltration of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, GZMB+CD8+ T cells and DCs and decreased infiltration of immunosuppressive MDSCs in NSCLC. In addition, TRPV1 knockout effectively decreased the expression of M2 macrophage markers CD163 and increased the expression of M1-associated, costimulatory markers CD86. Knockdown or knockout of TRPV1 significantly inhibit tumour growth and promoted an antitumour immune response through supressing γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) secretion in NSCLC. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that TRPV1 acts as a tumour promoter in NSCLC, mediating pro-proliferative and anti-apoptotic effects on NSCLC through IGF1R signaling and regulating GABA release to affect the tumour immune response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is well-established in neuronal function, yet its role in immune reactions remains enigmatic. The conflicting data on its inflammatory role, suggesting both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects upon TRPV1 stimulation in immune cells, adds complexity. To unravel TRPV1 immunomodulatory mechanisms, we investigated how the TRPV1 agonist capsaicin influences lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pro-inflammatory macrophage phenotypes. RESULTS Changes in the surface molecules, cytokine production, and signaling cascades linked to the phenotype of M1 or M2 macrophages of the J774 macrophage cell line and bone marrow-derived macrophages, treated with capsaicin before or after the LPS-induced inflammatory reaction were determined. The functional capacity of macrophages was also assessed by infecting the stimulated macrophages with the intracellular parasite Leishmania mexicana. CONCLUSION Our findings reveal that TRPV1 activation yields distinct macrophage responses influenced by the inflammatory context. LPS pre-treatment followed by capsaicin activation prompted increased calcium influx, accompanied by a shift toward an anti-inflammatory M2b-like polarization state.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the malignancies with the highest incidence and mortality rates worldwide, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for about 85% of all lung cancer types. In this study, the anti-cancer activities of a novel flurbiprofen organic selenium compound, RY-1-92, on NSCLC cells and a mouse model and the underlying molecular mechanisms were explored. We found that compound RY-1-92 can significantly inhibit the viability, colony formation and migration of A549, NCI-H460 lung cancer cells. Flow cytometry analysis showed that RY-1-92 also can lead to G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induced in lung cancer cells. Further, RY-1-92 can decrease the tumor size in the Lewis lung cancer tumor-bearing mouse model. The protein levels of cell cycle-related proteins CDK1/cyclinB1 were decreased, while the apoptosis-related protein BAX was increased dramatically after RY-1-92 treatment in vitro and in vivo. Impressively, it was found that TRPV1 might act as a potential molecular target of RY-1-92 using the SEA search server. Furthermore, down-regulation on TRPV1 and its downstream associated factors including p-AKT protein and MAPK signaling pathway-related proteins after RY-1-92 treatment was observed in A549, NCI-H460 lung cancer cells. Taken together, our findings shed light on the potential of RY-1-92 as a novel small molecular drug for NSCLC, and it is of great significance for its further in-depth research and development.

Abstract
Ion channels, in particular transient-receptor potential (TRP) channels, are essential genes that play important roles in many physiological processes. Emerging evidence has demonstrated that TRP genes are involved in a number of diseases, including various cancer types. However, we still lack knowledge about the expression alterations landscape of TRP genes across cancer types. In this review, we comprehensively reviewed and summarised the transcriptomes from more than 10 000 samples in 33 cancer types. We found that TRP genes were widespreadly transcriptomic dysregulated in cancer, which was associated with clinical survival of cancer patients. Perturbations of TRP genes were associated with a number of cancer pathways across cancer types. Moreover, we reviewed the functions of TRP family gene alterations in a number of diseases reported in recent studies. Taken together, our study comprehensively reviewed TRP genes with extensive transcriptomic alterations and their functions will directly contribute to cancer therapy and precision medicine.

Abstract
Thyroid cancer (TC) and thyroid autoimmune disorders (AITD) are among the most common diseases in the general population, with higher incidence in women. Chronic inflammation and autoimmunity play a pivotal role in carcinogenesis. Some studies, indeed, have pointed out the presence of AITD as a risk factor for TC, although this issue remains controversial. Prevention of autoimmune disease and cancer is the ultimate goal for clinicians and scientists, but it is not always feasible. Thus, new treatments, that overcome the current barriers to prevention and treatment of TC and AITD are needed. Alkaloids are secondary plant metabolites endowed with several biological activities including anticancer and immunomodulatory properties. In this perspective, alkaloids may represent a promising source of prophylactic and therapeutic agents for TC and AITD. This review encompasses the current published literature on alkaloids effects on TC and AITD, with a specific focus on the pathways involved in TC and AITD development and progression.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential channel subfamily vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a member of the transient receptor potential family of nonselective cationic transmembrane channel proteins that are involved in the regulation of calcium homeostasis. It is expressed in various tumor types and has been implicated in the regulation of cancer growth, metastasis, apoptosis, and cancer-related pain. TRPV1 is highly expressed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and both its agonists and antagonists may exert anti-cancer effects. In this review, we provide an overview of the effect of TRPV1 on TNBC development and its influence on immunotherapy in an attempt to facilitate the development of future treatment strategies.

Abstract
The involvement of the TRP vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) cation channel on the 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)-caused Ca2+ signals through the activation of the apoptotic signaling pathway and stimulating the mitochondrial Ca2+ and Zn2+ accumulation-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) productions in several cancer cells, except the colorectal cancer (HT-29) cell line, was recently reported. I aimed to investigate the action of silver nanoparticles (SiNPs) and 5-FU incubations through the activation of TRPV1 on ROS, apoptosis, and cell death in the HT-29 cell line. The cells were divided into four groups: control, SiNP (100 µM for 48 h), 5-FU (25 μM for 24 h), and 5-FU + SiNP. SiNP treatment through TRPV1 activation (via capsaicin) stimulated the oxidant and apoptotic actions of 5-FU in the cells, whereas they were diminished in the cells by the TRPV1 antagonist (capsazepine) treatment. The apoptotic and cell death actions of 5-FU were determined by increasing the propidium iodide/Hoechst rate, caspase-3, -8, and -9 activations, mitochondrial membrane depolarization, lipid peroxidation, and ROS, but decreasing the glutathione and glutathione peroxidase. The increase of cytosolic free Ca2+ and Zn2+ into mitochondria via the stimulation of TRPV1 current density increased oxidant and apoptotic properties of 5-FU in the cells. For the therapy of HT-29 tumor cells, I found that the combination of SiNPs and 5-FU was synergistic via TRPV1 activation.

Abstract
Specific activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid member 1 (TRPV1) channels provides a new avenue for cancer treatment by inducing excessive Ca2+ influx. However, controllable manipulation of TRPV1 signaling for clinical application has remained elusive due to the challenge in finding a mild and effective method of exerting external stimulus without adverse side effects in living systems. Herein, a TRPV1-targeting near-infrared (NIR) triggered nitric oxide (NO)-releasing nanoplatform (HCuS@PDA-TRPV1/BNN6) based on polydopamine (PDA) coated hollow copper sulfide nanoparticles (HCuS NPs) is developed for specific cancer therapy. Upon NIR irradiation, the NO donor BNN6 encapsulated in NIR-responsive nanovehicles can locally generate NO to activate TRPV1 channels and induce Ca2+ influx. This NIR controlled mode enables the nanoplatform to exert its therapeutic effects below the apoptotic threshold temperature (43°C), minimizing the photothermal damage to normal tissue. Integrating this special NO-mediated therapy with HCuS NPs mediated chemodynamic therapy, the designed nanoplatform exhibits a boosted anticancer activity with negligible systematic toxicity. Together, this study provides a promising strategy for site-specific cancer therapy by spatiotemporally controlled activation of surface ion channels, thus offering a solution to an unmet clinical need in cancer treatment.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:3760. [PMID: 38612571 PMCID: PMC11011947 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25073760] [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: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a highly malignant, painful cancer with poor treatment opportunities and a bad prognosis. Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) and vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptors are non-selective cation channels that have been of great interest in cancer, as their expression is increased in some malignancies. In our study we aim to characterize the expression and functionality of the TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels in human and mouse osteosarcoma tissues and in a mouse cell line. TRPA1/Trpa1 and TRPV1/Trpv1 mRNA expressions were demonstrated by PCR gel electrophoresis and RNAscope in situ hybridization. The function of these channels was confirmed by their radioactive 45Ca2+ uptake in response to the TRPA1 agonist, Allyl-isothiocyanate (AITC), and TRPV1 agonist, capsaicin, in K7M2 cells. An ATP-based K2M7 cell viability luminescence assay was used to determine cell viability after AITC or capsaicin treatments. Both TRPA1/Trpa1 and TRPV1/Trpv1 were expressed similarly in human and mouse osteosarcoma tissues, while Trpa1 transcripts were more abundantly present in K7M2 cells. TRPA1 activation with 200 µM AITC induced a significant 45Ca2+ influx into K7M2 cells, and the antagonist attenuated this effect. In accordance with the lower Trpv1 expression, capsaicin induced a moderate 45Ca2+ uptake, which did not reach the level of statistical significance. Both AITC and capsaicin significantly reduced K7M2 cell viability, demonstrating EC50 values of 22 µM and 74 µM. The viability-decreasing effect of AITC was significantly but only partially antagonized by HC-030031, but the action of capsaicin was not affected by the TRPV1 antagonist capsazepine. We provide here the first data on the functional expression of the TRPA1 and TRPV1 ion channels in osteosarcoma, suggesting novel diagnostic and/or therapeutic perspectives.

Abstract
Recently, various studies have been devoted to the study of transient receptor potential vanilloid member 1 (TRPV1)-related diseases, potential drugs, and related mechanisms. The objective of this investigation was to examine the significant areas and cutting-edge developments in TRPV1 study within recent decades. Articles or reviews were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection. VOSviewer 1.6.18 and CiteSpace 6.1 R2 software were utilized to examine publication growth, distribution by country/region, institution, journal, authorship, references, and keywords. The software identified keywords with a high citation burstiness to determine emerging topics. From 1990 to 2023, the annual global publications increased by 62,000%, from 1 to 621. Journal of neuroscience published the most manuscripts and Nature produced the highest citations. The USA, Seoul National University and Di marzo V were the most productive and impactful institution, country, and author, respectively. "TRPV1," "Capsaicin receptor," "Activation," and "Pain" are the most important keywords. The burst keywords "TRPV1 channel," "Oxidative stress," "TRPV1 structure," and "Cancer" are supposed to be the research frontiers. The present study offers valuable insights into the understanding of TRPV1 and pain-related conditions. The research on TRPV1 has demonstrated a steady increase in studies related to pain-related diseases in the past few decades. The significance of TRPV1 in cancer pathogenesis and the resolution of its structure will emerge as a new academic trend in this field, providing direction for more widespread and comprehensive studies in the future.

Abstract
Physical stimulation with mild heat possesses the notable ability to induce immunomodulation within the tumor microenvironment (TME). It transforms the immunosuppressive TME into an immune-active state, making tumors more receptive to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), which can be activated by mild heat, holds the potential to induce these alterations in the TME. However, achieving precise temperature control within tumors while protecting neighboring tissues remains a significant challenge when using external heat sources. Taking inspiration from the heat sensation elicited by capsaicin-containing products activating TRPV1, this study employs capsaicin to chemically stimulate TRPV1, imitating immunomodulatory benefits akin to those induced by mild heat. This involves developing a glutathione (GSH)-responsive immunomodulatory prodrug micelle system to deliver capsaicin and an ICI (BMS202) concurrently. Following intravenous administration, the prodrug micelles accumulate at the tumor site through the enhanced permeability and retention effect. Within the GSH-rich TME, the micelles disintegrate and release capsaicin and BMS202. The released capsaicin activates TRPV1 expressed in the TME, enhancing programmed death ligand 1 expression on tumor cell surfaces and promoting T cell recruitment into the TME, rendering it more immunologically active. Meanwhile, the liberated BMS202 blocks immune checkpoints on tumor cells and T cells, activating the recruited T cells and ultimately eradicating the tumors. This innovative strategy represents a comprehensive approach to fine-tune the TME, significantly amplifying the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy by exploiting the TRPV1 pathway and enabling in situ control of immunomodulation within the TME.

[PMID: 38293347 PMCID: PMC10827456 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24153] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Transient receptor potential vanilloid type1 (TRPV1) is a non-selective cation channel with multiple activation mechanisms, which has received increasing attention since it was first cloned in 1997. Methods We used bibliometric and visualization analyses to evaluate the theme trends and knowledge structure of TRPV1 research-papers on TRPV1 from 2002 to 2022 obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection. VOSviewer and CiteSpace were used to analyze authors, institutions, countries, co-cited references, and keywords. Results A total of 7413 papers were included. The main research area of TRPV1 was neuroscience; the most published country was the United States, and the University of California, San Francisco, had the highest centrality. Two major collaborative sub-networks were formed between the authors. The distribution of keywords shows that TRPV1 was initially studied extensively, and the recent studies focused on TRPV1 structure and diseases. "Oxidative stress," "TRPV1 structure," "cancer," and "model" have been the research hotspots in recent years. Conclusions This research provides valuable information for the study of TRPV1. Disease research was focused on pain, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Both agonists and antagonists of TRPV1 are gradually being used in clinical practice, and acupuncture was effective in treating TRPV1-mediated inflammatory pain. TRPV1 is involved in classical endogenous cannabis system signaling, and new signaling pathways continue to be revealed.

A journey from molecule to physiology and in silico tools for drug discovery targeting the transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) channel. Front Pharmacol 2024; 14:1251061. [PMID: 38328578 PMCID: PMC10847257 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1251061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2024] Open
Abstract
The heat and capsaicin receptor TRPV1 channel is widely expressed in nerve terminals of dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) and trigeminal ganglia innervating the body and face, respectively, as well as in other tissues and organs including central nervous system. The TRPV1 channel is a versatile receptor that detects harmful heat, pain, and various internal and external ligands. Hence, it operates as a polymodal sensory channel. Many pathological conditions including neuroinflammation, cancer, psychiatric disorders, and pathological pain, are linked to the abnormal functioning of the TRPV1 in peripheral tissues. Intense biomedical research is underway to discover compounds that can modulate the channel and provide pain relief. The molecular mechanisms underlying temperature sensing remain largely unknown, although they are closely linked to pain transduction. Prolonged exposure to capsaicin generates analgesia, hence numerous capsaicin analogs have been developed to discover efficient analgesics for pain relief. The emergence of in silico tools offered significant techniques for molecular modeling and machine learning algorithms to indentify druggable sites in the channel and for repositioning of current drugs aimed at TRPV1. Here we recapitulate the physiological and pathophysiological functions of the TRPV1 channel, including structural models obtained through cryo-EM, pharmacological compounds tested on TRPV1, and the in silico tools for drug discovery and repositioning.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a transmembrane and non-selective cation channel protein, which can be activated by various physical and chemical stimuli. Recent studies have shown the strong pathogenetic associations of TRPV1 with neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), in particular Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple sclerosis (MS) via regulating neuroinflammation. Therapeutic effects of TRPV1 agonists and antagonists on the treatment of AD and PD in animal models also are emerging. We here summarize the current understanding of TRPV1's effects and its agonists and antagonists as a therapeutic means in neurodegenerative diseases, and highlight future treatment strategies using natural TRPV1 agonists. Developing new targets and applying natural products are becoming a promising direction in the treatment of chronic disorders, especially neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Until now, no study evaluated the impact of optimum intake of omega-3 fatty acids on inflammatory factors. We aimed to investigate the dose-dependent effects of omega-3 fatty acids supplementation on inflammatory factors in cancer patients. PubMed, Scopus and ISI Web of Science were searched until July 2022 to find randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for examining the efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids on inflammatory factors. Our primary outcomes were interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), and albumin. The results of 33 trials (2068 participants) revealed that each 1 g/day omega-3 fatty acids (oral/enteral) significantly reduced IL-6 (SMD: -1.17 pg/ml; 95% CI: -1.78, -0.55; p < 0.001; GRADE = moderate), and TNF-α (SMD: -2.15 pg/ml; 95% CI: -3.14, -1.16; p < 0.001; GRADE = very low). Moreover, each 0.5 g/kg/day omega-3 fatty acids (parenteral) significantly reduced TNF-α (SMD: -1.11 pg/ml; 95% CI: -2.02, -0.19; p = 0.017; GRADE = low). With moderate and very low evidence certainty, each 1 g/day of omega-3 fatty acids supplementation (oral/enteral) has a beneficial effect on IL-6 and TNF-α. Each 0.5 g/kg/day omega-3 fatty acids (parenteral) could also exert a favorable impact on TNF-α, but the certainty of the evidence was low.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease, especially heart failure (HF) is the leading cause of death in patients with diabetes. Individuals with diabetes are prone to a special type of cardiomyopathy called diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), which cannot be explained by heart diseases such as hypertension or coronary artery disease, and can contribute to HF. Unfortunately, the current treatment strategy for diabetes-related cardiovascular complications is mainly to control blood glucose levels; nonetheless, the improvement of cardiac structure and function is not ideal. The transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1), a nonselective cation channel, has been shown to be universally expressed in the cardiovascular system. Increasing evidence has shown that the activation of TRPV1 channel has a potential protective influence on the cardiovascular system. Numerous studies show that activating TRPV1 channels can improve the occurrence and progression of diabetes-related complications, including cardiomyopathy; however, the specific mechanisms and effects are unclear. In this review, we summarize that TRPV1 channel activation plays a protective role in the heart of diabetic models from oxidation/nitrification stress, mitochondrial function, endothelial function, inflammation, and cardiac energy metabolism to inhibit the occurrence and progression of DCM. Therefore, TRPV1 may become a latent target for the prevention and treatment of diabetes-induced cardiovascular complications.

Unravelling a novel role for cannabidivarin in the modulation of subventricular zone postnatal neurogenesis. Eur J Pharmacol 2023; 959:176079.

Abstract
Postnatal neurogenesis has been shown to rely on the endocannabinoid system. Here we aimed at unravelling the role of Cannabidivarin (CBDV), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, with high affinity for the non-classical cannabinoid receptor TRPV1, on subventricular zone (SVZ) postnatal neurogenesis. Using the neurosphere assay, SVZ-derived neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) were incubated with CBDV and/or 5'-Iodoresinferotoxin (TRPV1 antagonist), and their role on cell viability, proliferation, and differentiation were dissected. CBDV was able to promote, through a TRPV1-dependent mechanism, cell survival, cell proliferation and neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, pulse-chase experiments revealed that CBDV-induced neuronal differentiation was a result of cell cycle exit of NSPCs. Regarding oligodendrocyte differentiation, CBDV inhibited oligodendrocyte differentiation and maturation. Since our data suggested that the CBDV-induced modulation of NSPCs acted via TRPV1, a sodium-calcium channel, and that intracellular calcium levels are known regulators of NSPCs fate and neuronal maturation, single cell calcium imaging was performed to evaluate the functional response of SVZ-derived cells. We observed that CBDV-responsive cells displayed a two-phase calcium influx profile, being the initial phase dependent on TRPV1 activation. Taken together, this work unveiled a novel and untapped neurogenic potential of CBDV via TRPV1 modulation. These findings pave the way to future neural stem cell biological studies and repair strategies by repurposing this non-psychoactive cannabinoid as a valuable therapeutic target.

Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare, non-hereditary skeletal disorder characterized by its chronic course of non-neoplastic fibrous tissue buildup in place of healthy bone. A myriad of factors have been associated with its onset and progression. Perturbation of cell-cell signaling networks and response outputs leading to disrupted building blocks, incoherent multi-level organization, and loss of rigid structural motifs in mineralized tissues are factors that have been identified to participate in FD induction. In more recent years, novel insights into the unique biology of FD are transforming our understandings of its pathology, natural discourse of the disease, and treatment prospects. Herein, we built upon existing knowledge with recent findings to review clinical, etiologic, and histological features of FD and discussed known and potential mechanisms underlying FD manifestations. Subsequently, we ended on a note of optimism by highlighting emerging therapeutic approaches aimed at either halting or ameliorating disease progression.

Abstract
The Ca2+ release in microdomains formed by intercompartmental contacts, such as mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs), encodes a signal that contributes to Ca2+ homeostasis and cell fate control. However, the composition and function of MAMs remain to be fully defined. Here, we focused on the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), a Ca2+-permeable ion channel and a polymodal nociceptor. We found TRPV1 channels in the reticular membrane, including some at MAMs, in a rat cardiomyoblast cell line (SV40-transformed H9c2) by Western blotting, immunostaining, cell fractionation, and proximity ligation assay. We used chemical and genetic probes to perform Ca2+ imaging in four cellular compartments: the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), cytoplasm, mitochondrial matrix, and mitochondrial surface. Our results showed that the ER Ca2+ released through TRPV1 channels is detected at the mitochondrial outer membrane and transferred to the mitochondria. Finally, we observed that prolonged TRPV1 modulation for 30 min alters the intracellular Ca2+ equilibrium and influences the MAM structure or the hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced cell death. Thus, our study provides the first evidence that TRPV1 channels contribute to MAM Ca2+ exchanges.

Abstract
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are Na+ channels that are almost ubiquitously expressed in neurons of the brain. Functional ASIC1a is also expressed in glioblastoma stem cells, where it might sense the acidic tumor microenvironment. Prolonged acidosis induces cell death in neurons and reduces tumor sphere formation in glioblastoma via activation of ASIC1a. It is currently unknown whether ASICs are expressed and involved in acid-induced cell death in other types of brain tumors. In this study, we investigated ASICs in medulloblastoma, using two established cell lines, DAOY and UW228, as in vitro models. In addition, we characterized ASICs in the most numerous neuron of the brain, the cerebellar granule cell, which shares the progenitor cell with some forms of medulloblastoma. We report compelling evidence using RT-qPCR, western blot and whole-cell patch clamp that DAOY and cerebellar granule cells, but not UW228 cells, functionally express homomeric ASIC1a. Additionally, Ca2+-imaging revealed that extracellular acidification elevated intracellular Ca2+-levels in DAOY cells independently of ASICs. Finally, we show that overexpression of RIPK3, a key component of the necroptosis pathway, renders DAOY cells susceptible to acid-induced cell death via activation of ASIC1a. Our data support the idea that ASIC1a is an important acid sensor in brain tumors and that its activation has potential to induce cell death in tumor cells.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channel belongs to the transient receptor potential channel superfamily and participates in many physiological processes. TRPV1 modulators (both agonists and antagonists) can effectively inhibit pain caused by various factors and have curative effects in various diseases, such as itch, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the development of TRPV1 channel modulators is of great importance. In this study, the structure-based virtual screening and ligand-based virtual screening methods were used to screen compound databases respectively. In the structure-based virtual screening route, a full-length human TRPV1 protein was first constructed, three molecular docking methods with different precisions were performed based on the hTRPV1 structure, and a machine learning-based rescoring model by the XGBoost algorithm was constructed to enrich active compounds. In the ligand-based virtual screening route, the ROCS program was used for 3D shape similarity searching and the EON program was used for electrostatic similarity searching. Final 77 compounds were selected from two routes for in vitro assays. The results showed that 8 of them were identified as active compounds, including three hits with IC50 values close to capsazepine. In addition, one hit is a partial agonist with both agonistic and antagonistic activity. The mechanisms of some active compounds were investigated by molecular dynamics simulation, which explained their agonism or antagonism.

Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) mediates reactive oxygen species-induced Ca 2+ entry, mitochondrial dysfunction, and caspase-3/7 activation in primary cultures of metastatic colorectal carcinoma cells.

Abstract
Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) represents the fourth most common cancer worldwide and is the third most common cause of malignancy-associated mortality. Distant metastases to the liver and lungs are the main drivers of CRC-dependent death. Pro-oxidant therapies, which halt disease progression by exacerbating oxidative stress, represent an antitumour strategy that is currently exploited by chemotherapy and ionizing radiation. A more selective strategy to therapeutically exploit reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling would consist in targeting a redox sensor that is up-regulated in metastatic cells and is tightly coupled to the stimulation of cancer cell death programs. The non-selective cation channel, Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), serves as a sensor of the cellular redox state, being activated to promote extracellular Ca2+ entry by an increase in oxidative stress. Recent work demonstrated that TRPA1 channel protein is up-regulated in several cancer types and that TRPA1-mediated Ca2+ signals can either engage an antiapoptotic pro-survival signaling pathway or to promote mitochondrial Ca2+ dysfunction and apoptosis. Herein, we sought to assess for the first time the outcome of TRPA1 activation by ROS on primary cultures of metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC cells). We found that TRPA1 channel protein is up-regulated and mediates enhanced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced Ca2+ entry in mCRC cells as compared to non-neoplastic control cells. The lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) is the main ROS responsible for TRPA1 activation upon mCRC cell exposure to oxidative stress. TRPA1-mediated Ca2+ entry in response to H2O2 and 4-HNE results in mitochondrial Ca2+ overload, followed by mitochondrial depolarization and caspase-3/7 activation. Therefore, targeting TRPA1 could represent an alternative strategy to eradicate metastatic CRC by enhancing its sensitivity to oxidative stress.

Abstract
The channels from the superfamily of transient receptor potential (TRP) activated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) can be defined as redox channels. Those with the best exposure of the cysteine residues and, hence, the most sensitive to oxidative stress are TRPC4, TRPC5, TRPV1, TRPV4, and TRPA1, while others, such as TRPC3, TRPM2, and TRPM7, are indirectly activated by ROS. Furthermore, activation by ROS has different effects on the tumorigenic process: some TRP channels may, upon activation, stimulate proliferation, apoptosis, or migration of cancer cells, while others inhibit these processes, depending on the cancer type, tumoral microenvironment, and, finally, on the methods used for evaluation. Therefore, using these polymodal proteins as therapeutic targets is still an unmet need, despite their draggability and modulation by simple and mostly unharmful compounds. This review intended to create some cellular models of the interaction between oxidative stress, TRP channels, and inflammation. Although somewhat crosstalk between the three actors was rather theoretical, we intended to gather the recently published data and proposed pathways of cancer inhibition using modulators of TRP proteins, hoping that the experimental data corroborated clinical information may finally bring the results from the bench to the bedside.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) is highly expressed on sensory neurons where it serves as a polymodal receptor for detecting physical and chemical stimuli. However, the role of TRPV1 in bone metabolism remains largely unclear. This study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanism of neuronal TRPV1 in regulating bone defect repair. In vivo experiment verified that TRPV1 activation could trigger dorsal root ganglion (DRG) producing the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in mice. The accelerated bone healing of femoral defect in this process was observed compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Conversely, Trpv1 knockdown led to the reduced CGRP expression in DRG and nerves innervating femur bone tissue, following impaired bone formation and osteogenic capability in the defect region (p < 0.05), which could be rescued by local CGRP treatment. In vitro, results revealed that TRPV1 function in DRG neurons contributed essentially to the regulation of osteoblast physiology through affecting the production and secretion of CGRP. The capsaicin-activated neuronal TRPV1-CGRP axis could enhance the proliferation, migration and differentiation of osteoblasts (p < 0.05). Furthermore, we found that the promoting role of neuronal TRPV1 in osteogenesis were associated with Hippo signaling pathway, reflected by the phosphorylation protein level of large tumor suppressor 1 (LATS1), MOB kinase activator 1 (MOB1) and Yes-associated protein (YAP), as well as the subcellular location of YAP. Our study clarified the effects and intrinsic mechanisms of neuronal TRPV1 on bone defect repair, which might offer us a therapeutic implication for bone disorders.

Abstract
Cisplatin resistance along with chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain is an important cause of treatment failure for many cancer types and represents an unmet clinical need. Therefore, future studies should provide evidence regarding the mechanisms of potential targets that can overcome the resistance as well as alleviate pain. Here, we show that the emergence of cisplatin resistance is highly associated with EGFR hyperactivation, and that EGFR hyperactivation is arisen by a transcriptional increase in the pain-generating channel, TRPV1, via NANOG. Furthermore, TRPV1 promotes autophagy-mediated EGF secretion via Ca2+ influx, which activates the EGFR-AKT signaling and, consequentially, the acquisition of cisplatin resistance. Importantly, TRPV1 inhibition renders tumors susceptible to cisplatin. Thus, our findings indicate a link among cisplatin resistance, EGFR hyperactivation, and TRPV1-mediated autophagic secretion, and implicate that TRPV1 could be a crucial drug target that could not only overcome cisplatin resistance but also alleviate pain in NANOG+ cisplatin-resistant cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) is one of the most common and debilitating complications associated with bone metastasis. Although our understanding of the precise mechanism is limited, it has been known that bone is densely innervated, and that CIBP is elicited as a consequence of increased neurogenesis, reprogramming, and axonogenesis in conjunction with sensitization and excitation of sensory nerves (SNs) in response to the noxious stimuli that are derived from the tumor microenvironment developed in bone. Recent studies have shown that the sensitized and excited nerves innervating the tumor establish intimate communications with cancer cells by releasing various tumor-stimulating factors for tumor progression. APPROACHES In this review, the role of the interactions of cancer cells and SNs in bone in the pathophysiology of CIBP will be discussed with a special focus on the role of the noxious acidic tumor microenvironment, considering that bone is in nature hypoxic, which facilitates the generation of acidic conditions by cancer. Subsequently, the role of SNs in the regulation of cancer progression in the bone will be discussed together with our recent experimental findings. CONCLUSION It is suggested that SNs may be a newly-recognized important component of the bone microenvironment that contribute to not only in the pathophysiology of CIBP but also cancer progression in bone and dissemination from bone. Suppression of the activity of bone-innervating SNs, thus, may provide unique opportunities in the treatment of cancer progression and dissemination, as well as CIBP.

Abstract
The survival of malignant tumors is highly dependent on their intrinsic self-defense pathways such as heat shock protein (HSP) during cancer therapy. However, precisely dismantling self-defenses to amplify antitumor potency remains unexplored. Herein, we demonstrate that nanoparticle-mediated transient receptor potential vanilloid member 1 (TRPV1) channel blockade potentiates thermo-immunotherapy via suppressing heat shock factor 1 (HSF1)-mediated dual self-defense pathways. TRPV1 blockade inhibits hyperthermia-induced calcium influx and subsequent nuclear translocation of HSF1, which selectively suppresses stressfully overexpressed HSP70 for enhancing thermotherapeutic efficacy against a variety of primary, metastatic and recurrent tumor models. Particularly, the suppression of HSF1 translocation further restrains the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) pathway to degrade the tumor stroma, which improves the infiltration of antitumor therapeutics (e.g. anti-PD-L1 antibody) and immune cells into highly fibrotic and immunosuppressive pancreatic cancers. As a result, TRPV1 blockade retrieves thermo-immunotherapy with tumor-eradicable and immune memory effects. The nanoparticle-mediated TRPV1 blockade represents as an effective approach to dismantle self-defenses for potent cancer therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) mainly characterized by inflammation, ulceration and erosion of colonic mucosa and submucosa. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is an important mediator of visceral pain and inflammatory bowel disease. This study aims to investigate the protective effect of water soluble propolis (WSP) on UC colon inflammatory tissue and the role of TRPV1. METHODS Male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=8): a normal control (NC) group, an ulcerative colitis model (UC) group, a low-WSP (L-WSP) group, a medium-WSP (M-WSP) group, a high-WSP (H-WSP) group, and a salazosulfapyridine (SASP) group. The rats in the NC group drank water freely, and the other groups drank 4% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) solution freely for 7 d to replicate the ulcerative colitis model. Based on the successful replication of the UC, the L-WSP, M-WSP, and H-WSP groups were given 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg of water-soluble propolis by gavage for 7 d, and the SASP group was given 100 mg/kg of sulfasalazine by gavage for 7 d. The body weight of rats in each group was measured at the same time every day, the fecal traits and occult blood were observed to record the disease activity index (DAI). After intragastric administration, the animals were sacrificed after fasted 24 h. Serum and colonic tissue were collected, and the changes of MDA, IL-6 and TNF-α were detected. The pathological changes of colon tissues were observed by HE staining, and the expression of TRPV1 in colon tissues was observed by Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. RESULTS The animals in each group that drank DSS freely showed symptoms such as weight loss, decreased appetite, depressed state, and hematochezia, indicating that the model was successfully established. Compared with the NC group, DAI scores of other groups were increased (all P<0.05). MDA, IL-6, TNF-α in serum and colon tissues of the UC group were increased compared with the NC group (all P<0.01), and they were decreased after WSP and SASP treatment (all P<0.01). The results of showed that the colon tissue structure was obviously broken and inflammatory infiltration in the UC group, while the H-WSP group and the SASP group significantly improved the colon tissue and alleviated inflammatory infiltration. The expression of TRPV1 in colon tissues in the UC group was increased compared with the NC group (all P<0.01), and it was decreased after WSP and SASP treatment. CONCLUSIONS WSP can alleviate the inflammatory state of ulcerative colitis induced by DSS, which might be related to the inhibition of inflammatory factors release, and down-regulation or desensitization of TRPV1.

The Role of Zinc in Modulating Acid-Sensing Ion Channel Function. Biomolecules 2023; 13:biom13020229. [PMID: 36830598 PMCID: PMC9953155 DOI: 10.3390/biom13020229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are proton-gated, voltage-independent sodium channels widely expressed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. They are involved in synaptic plasticity, learning/memory, fear conditioning and pain. Zinc, an important trace metal in the body, contributes to numerous physiological functions, with neurotransmission being of note. Zinc has been implicated in the modulation of ASICs by binding to specific sites on these channels and exerting either stimulatory or inhibitory effects depending on the ASIC subtype. ASICs have been linked to several neurological and psychological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, ischemic stroke, epilepsy and cocaine addiction. Different ASIC isoforms contribute to the persistence of each of these neurological and psychological disorders. It is critical to understand how various zinc concentrations can modulate specific ASIC subtypes and how zinc regulation of ASICs can contribute to neurological and psychological diseases. This review elucidates zinc's structural interactions with ASICs and discusses the potential therapeutic implications zinc may have on neurological and psychological diseases through targeting ASICs.

Calcium influx, oxidative stress, and apoptosis induced by TRPV1 in chronic myeloid leukemia cells: Synergistic effects with imatinib. Front Mol Biosci 2023; 10:1129202. [PMID: 36876044 PMCID: PMC9975599 DOI: 10.3389/fmolb.2023.1129202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Calcium flux is the master second messenger that influences the proliferation-apoptosis balance. The ability of calcium flux alterations to reduce cell growth makes ion channels interesting targets for therapy. Among all, we focused on transient receptor potential vanilloid 1, a ligand-gated cation channel with selectivity for calcium. Its involvement in hematological malignancies is poorly investigated, especially in the field of chronic myeloid leukemia, a malignancy characterized by the accumulation of immature cells. Methods: FACS analysis, Western blot analysis, gene silencing, and cell viability assay were performed to investigate the activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1, by N-oleoyl-dopamine, in chronic myeloid leukemia cell lines. Results: We demonstrated that the triggering of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 inhibits cell growth and promotes apoptosis of chronic myeloid leukemia cells. Its activation induced calcium influx, oxidative stress, ER stress, mitochondria dysfunction, and caspase activation. Interestingly, a synergistic effect exerted by N-oleoyl-dopamine and the standard drug imatinib was found. Conclusion: Overall, our results support that transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 activation could be a promising strategy to enhance conventional therapy and improve the management of chronic myeloid leukemia.

Abstract
Background: At the end of the 1990s, transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) was first identified and cloned, serving as a key pain and heat sensor in humans. A large body of evidence have revealed its polymodal structure, complex function and wide-spread distribution, the specific mechanism of the ion channel remains unclear. Our goal here is to perform a bibliometric analysis and visualization study to present hotspots and trends in TRPV1 channel. Materials and Methods: TRPV1-related publications from inception to 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science database. Excel, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace software were utilized for co-authorship, co-citation and co-occurrence analysis. Results: There were 9,113 publications included in the study, the number of publications increased rapidly after 1989, from 7 in 1990 to 373 in 2007, during which the number of citations per publication (CPP) also reached a peak in 2000 (CPP = 106.52). A total of 1,486 journals published TRPV1 articles, mainly belong to Q1 or Q2 divisions; The United States published the most articles (TP = 3,080), followed by Japan (TP = 1,221), China (TP = 1,217), and England (TP = 734); In recent years, the TRPV1-related research direction has been broaden to multiple fields related to inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis; Keyword clustering refined the topic distributions and could be generalized as neuralgia, endogenous cannabinoid system, TRPV1 mediated airway hyperresponsiveness, involvement of apoptosis, TRPV1 antagonists as therapy targets. Conclusion: By conducting an exhaustive bibliographic search, this review refined the topic distributions and generalized as neuralgia, endogenous cannabinoid system, TRPV1 mediated airway hyperresponsiveness, involvement of apoptosis, TRPV1 antagonists as therapy targets. It is currently being clarified how exactly TRPV1 works as an ion channel, and much more in-depth basic research is needed in the future.

Abstract
Mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are important intracellular organelles. The sites that mitochondrial and ER are closely related in structure and function are called Mitochondria-ER contacts (MERCs). MERCs are involved in a variety of biological processes, including calcium signaling, lipid synthesis and transport, autophagy, mitochondrial dynamics, ER stress, and inflammation. Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD) is a vital organ damage caused by sepsis, which is closely associated with mitochondrial and ER dysfunction. Growing evidence strongly supports the role of MERCs in the pathogenesis of SIMD. In this review, we summarize the biological functions of MERCs and the roles of MERCs proteins in SIMD.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1)-targeted compounds were synthesized by modifying the structure of SB366791, a pharmaceutically representative TRPV1 antagonist. To avoid amide-iminol tautomerization, structurally supported N-methylated amides (i.e., 3-alkoxy-substitued N-meythylamide derivatives of SB366791) were evaluated using a Ca2+ influx assay, in which cells expressed recombinant TRPV1 in the presence of 1.0 μM capsaicin. The antagonistic activities of N-(3-methoxyphenyl)-N-methyl-4-chlorocinnamamide (2) (RLC-TV1004) and N-{3-(3-fluoropropoxy)phenyl}-N-methyl-4-chlorocinnamamide (4) (RLC-TV1006) were found to be approximately three-fold higher (IC50: 1.3 μM and 1.1 μM, respectively) than that of SB366791 (IC50: 3.7 μM). These results will help reinvigorate the potential of SB366791 in medicinal chemistry applications. The 3-methoxy and 3-fluoroalkoxy substituents were used to obtain radioactive [11C]methoxy- or [18F]fluoroalkoxy-incorporated tracers for in vivo positron emission tomography (PET). Using the 11C- or 18F-labeled derivatives, explorative PET imaging trials were performed in rats.

TRPV1 Is a Potential Tumor Suppressor for Its Negative Association with Tumor Proliferation and Positive Association with Antitumor Immune Responses in Pan-Cancer. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2022; 2022:6964550. [PMID: 36304985 PMCID: PMC9596243 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6964550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Background Although numerous studies have shown that the expression and activation of TRPV1 have an important role in cancer development, a comprehensive exploration of associations between TRPV1 expression and tumor proliferation, microenvironment, and clinical outcomes in pan-cancer remains insufficient. Methods From The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) program, we downloaded multiomics data of ten cancer cohorts and investigated the correlations between TRPV1 expression and immune signatures' enrichment, stromal content, genomic features, oncogenic signaling, and clinical features in these cancer cohorts and pan-cancer. Results Elevated expression of TRPV1 correlated with better clinical outcomes in pan-cancer and diverse cancer types. In multiple cancer types, TRPV1 expression correlated negatively with the expression of tumor proliferation marker genes (MKI67 and RACGAP1), proliferation scores, cell cycle scores, stemness scores, epithelial-mesenchymal transition scores, oncogenic pathways' enrichment, tumor immunosuppressive signals, intratumor heterogeneity, homologous recombination deficiency, tumor mutation burden, and stromal content. Moreover, TRPV1 expression was downregulated in late-stage versus early-stage tumors. In breast cancer, bladder cancer, and low-grade glioma, TRPV1 expression was more inferior in invasive than in noninvasive subtypes. Pathway analysis showed that the enrichment of cancer-associated pathways correlated inversely with TRPV1 expression levels. Conclusion TRPV1 upregulation correlates with decreased tumor proliferation, tumor driver gene expression, genomic instability, and tumor immunosuppressive signals in various cancers. Our results provide new understanding of the role of TRPV1 in both cancer biology and clinical practice.

Abstract
Capsaicin (trans-8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-noneamide) is a hydrophobic, lipophilic vanilloid phytochemical abundantly found in chili peppers and pepper extracts. Several convergent studies show that capsaicin displays robust cancer activity, suppressing the growth, angiogenesis and metastasis of several human cancers. Despite its potent cancer-suppressing activity, the clinical applications of capsaicin as a viable anti-cancer drug have remained problematic due to its poor bioavailability and aqueous solubility properties. In addition, the administration of capsaicin is associated with adverse side effects like gastrointestinal cramps, stomach pain, nausea and diarrhea and vomiting. All these hurdles may be circumvented by encapsulation of capsaicin in sustained release drug delivery systems. Most of the capsaicin-based the sustained release drugs have been tested for their pain-relieving activity. Only a few of these formulations have been investigated as anti-cancer agents. The present review describes the physicochemical properties, bioavailability, and anti-cancer activity of capsaicin-sustained release agents. The asset of such continuous release capsaicin formulations is that they display better solubility, stability, bioavailability, and growth-suppressive activity than the free drug. The encapsulation of capsaicin in sustained release carriers minimizes the adverse side effects of capsaicin. In summary, these capsaicin-based sustained release drug delivery systems have the potential to function as novel chemotherapies, unique diagnostic imaging probes and innovative chemosensitization agents in human cancers.

Abstract
Platinum-based compounds are actively used in clinical trials as anticancer agents. In this study, two novel platinum complexes, (C1 = [PtCl2(N(SO2quin)dpa)], C2 = [PtCl2(N(SO2azobenz)dpa)]) containing quinoline and azobenzene appended dipicolylamine sulfonamide ligands were synthesized in good yield. The singlet attributable to methylene CH2 protons of the ligands of C1 and C2 appears as two doublets in 1H NMR spectra, which confirms the presence of magnetically nonequivalent protons upon coordination to platinum. Structural data of N(SO2quin)dpa (L1), N(SO2azobenz)dpa (L2) and PtCl2(N(SO2quin)dpa) confirmed the formation of the desired compounds. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations suggested that the excitation of L1 show quin-unit-based π⟶π∗ excitations (i.e., ligand-centered charge transfer, LC), while C1 shows the metal-ligand-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLLCT) character. L1 displays intense fluorescence from the 1LC excited state, while C1 gives phosphorescence from the 3LC state. Mammalian cell toxicity of ligands and complexes was assessed with NCI–H292 nonsmall-cell lung cancer cells. Further, C1 and C2 showed significantly low IC50 values compared with N(SO2azobenz)dpa and PtCl2(N(SO2quin)dpa). Fluorescence imaging data of both ligands and complexes revealed the potential fluorescence activity of these compounds for biological imaging. All four compounds are promising novel candidates that can be further investigated on their usage as potential anticancer agents and cancer cell imaging agents.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 1 (TRPV1), belonging to the TRPV channel family, is a non-selective, calcium-dependent, cation channel implicated in several pathophysiological processes. Collagen, an extracellular matrix component, can accumulate under pathological conditions and may lead to the destruction of tissue structure, organ dysfunction, and organ failure. Increasing evidence indicates that TRPV1 plays a role in the development and occurrence of fibrotic diseases, including myocardial, renal, pancreatic, and corneal fibrosis. However, the mechanism by which TRPV1 regulates fibrosis remains unclear. This review highlights the comprehensive role played by TRPV1 in regulating pro-fibrotic processes, the potential of TRPV1 as a therapeutic target in fibrotic diseases, as well as the different signaling pathways associated with TRPV1 and fibrosis.

Abstract
Solid tumours are characterised by an altered microenvironment (TME) from the physicochemical point of view, displaying a highly hypoxic and acidic interstitial fluid. Hypoxia results from uncontrolled proliferation, aberrant vascularization and altered cancer cell metabolism. Tumour cellular apparatus adapts to hypoxia by altering its metabolism and behaviour, increasing its migratory and metastatic abilities by the acquisition of a mesenchymal phenotype and selection of aggressive tumour cell clones. Extracellular acidosis is considered a cancer hallmark, acting as a driver of cancer aggressiveness by promoting tumour metastasis and chemoresistance via the selection of more aggressive cell phenotypes, although the underlying mechanism is still not clear. In this context, Ca2+ channels represent good target candidates due to their ability to integrate signals from the TME. Ca2+ channels are pH and hypoxia sensors and alterations in Ca2+ homeostasis in cancer progression and vascularization have been extensively reported. In the present review, we present an up-to-date and critical view on Ca2+ permeable ion channels, with a major focus on TRPs, SOCs and PIEZO channels, which are modulated by tumour hypoxia and acidosis, as well as the consequent role of the altered Ca2+ signals on cancer progression hallmarks. We believe that a deeper comprehension of the Ca2+ signalling and acidic pH/hypoxia interplay will break new ground for the discovery of alternative and attractive therapeutic targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) was considered to play pivotal roles in multiple cancers; however, the expression and clinical significance of the TRPV1 remain unclear, which were explored in this study. RESULTS The pan-cancer analysis was performed based on 10,236 samples in 32 cancers. Differential TRPV1 expression levels were detected in 12 cancers (p < 0.05). TRPV1 demonstrated its conspicuous prognosis significance and prediction effects for some cancers (e.g., lung adenocarcinoma), indicating its potential as a valuable and novel biomarker in treating and predicting cancers. TRPV1 expression was relevant to DNA methyltransferases, mismatch repair genes, tumor mutational burden, and microsatellite instability. TRPV1 expression was associated with the immune microenvironment of some cancers, and its roles in different cancers may be mediated by affecting various immune cells. Gene set enrichment analysis discloses the significant relevance of TRPV1 expression with a series of metabolic and immunoregulatory-related pathways. CONCLUSIONS This study provided a comprehensive workflow of the expression, clinical significance, and underlying mechanisms of TRPV1 in pan-cancer. TRPV1 may be an underlying biomarker for predicting and treating multiple cancer.

Abstract
Simple Summary Emerging evidence suggests positive outcomes from the use of CBD as a cancer treatment. CBD can relieve cancer pain and ease the side effects of chemotherapy; however, there is less research about the mechanism of CBD’s anticancer effects. In this article, recent studies on the efficacy and mechanisms of CBD’s anticancer effects in cell- and animal-based models and human clinical studies are reviewed. Abstract Cannabis sativa L. (Cannabis) and its bioactive compounds, including cannabinoids and non-cannabinoids, have been extensively studied for their biological effects in recent decades. Cannabidiol (CBD), a major non-intoxicating cannabinoid in Cannabis, has emerged as a promising intervention for cancer research. The purpose of this review is to provide insights into the relationship between CBD and cancer based on recent research findings. The anticancer effects of CBD are mainly mediated via its interaction with the endocannabinoid system, resulting in the alleviation of pain and the promotion of immune regulation. Published reviews have focused on the applications of CBD in cancer pain management and the possible toxicological effects of its excessive consumption. In this review, we aim to summarize the mechanisms of action underlying the anticancer activities of CBD against several common cancers. Studies on the efficacy and mechanisms of CBD on cancer prevention and intervention in experimental models (i.e., cell culture- and animal-based assays) and human clinical studies are included in this review.

Abstract
Background The transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) channels family, TRPV1-6, has been identified to profoundly affect a wide spectrum of pathological processes in various cancers. However, the biological function and prognostic value of TRPVs in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) are still largely unknown. Methods We obtained the gene expression data and clinical information of 539 ccRCC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. A series of databases were used for data processing and visualization, including GEPIA, GeneMANIA, MethSurv, GSCA, TIMER, and starBase databases. Results The mRNA expression of TRPV2/3 was upregulated while the expression of TRPV5/6 was downregulated in ccRCC tumor tissues. TRPV family members in ccRCC were rarely mutated (nearly 7 frequencies). The ROC curve showed that TRPV2/5/6 had a high diagnostic ability in discriminating ccRCC from the control samples (AUC>0.9). Higher levels of TRPV3 expression were associated with poor prognosis of ccRCC patients, while higher expression of TRPV4 was associated with favorable prognosis. The expression of TRPV3 in normal and ccRCC tissues was validated by Immunohistochemistry, and its expression was remarkably related to high histologic grade and advanced stage. Besides, TRPV3 exhibit a reduction of DNA methylation level with tumor progression, and 12 CpGs of TRPV3 were associated with a significant prognosis. In addition, TRPV3 expression was significantly associated with the accumulation of several tumor-infiltrating immune cells, especially regulatory T cells. Furthermore, high levels of TRPV3 induced the expression of immune checkpoints such as LAG3, CTLA4, PDCD1, and TIGIT. Finally, we predicted a key SNHG3/AL513497.1-miR-10b-5p-TRPV3 axis linking to carcinogenesis and progression of ccRCC. Conclusion Our study may uncover TRPV channels–associated molecular mechanisms involved in the tumorigenesis and progression of ccRCC. TRPV family members might be diagnosed and prognostic markers and potential therapeutic targets for ccRCC patients.

Acta Pharm Sin B 2022; 12:1761-1780. [PMID: 35847486 PMCID: PMC9279634 DOI: 10.1016/j.apsb.2021.11.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 49] [Impact Index Per Article: 24.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 09/11/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are one primary type of calcium (Ca2+) permeable channels, and those relevant transmembrane and intracellular TRP channels were previously thought to be mainly associated with the regulation of cardiovascular and neuronal systems. Nowadays, however, accumulating evidence shows that those TRP channels are also responsible for tumorigenesis and progression, inducing tumor invasion and metastasis. However, the overall underlying mechanisms and possible signaling transduction pathways that TRP channels in malignant tumors might still remain elusive. Therefore, in this review, we focus on the linkage between TRP channels and the significant characteristics of tumors such as multi-drug resistance (MDR), metastasis, apoptosis, proliferation, immune surveillance evasion, and the alterations of relevant tumor micro-environment. Moreover, we also have discussed the expression of relevant TRP channels in various forms of cancer and the relevant inhibitors' efficacy. The chemo-sensitivity of the anti-cancer drugs of various acting mechanisms and the potential clinical applications are also presented. Furthermore, it would be enlightening to provide possible novel therapeutic approaches to counteract malignant tumors regarding the intervention of calcium channels of this type.
