Despite the presumed neurokinin A from large dense-core vesicles via physiological importance of TRPA1 post-translational Ca2+-dependent exocytosis (Gustavsson et al. 2012). The modifications, little is known about the specific domains presence of neuropeptides causes a further amplification and residues through which the TRPA1 protein of nociception, recruitment of immune cells, undergoes conformational changes that affect the vasodilatation and neurogenic inflammation (Geppetti et activation properties of this channel (Voolstra and Huber al. 2008). Accordingly, TRPA1 has been functionally 2014). This review aims at providing an overview of the linked to a number of chronic pain conditions associated currently available results of site-directed mutagenesis with inflammation, including visceral pain, arthritic pain, studies on TRPA1 and summarizes the data on the cancer pain, and migraine. It is generally assumed that functionally important amino acids which are involved in proinflammatory agents released at the site of injury, such TRPA1 activation and may represent the residues through as prostaglandins, bradykinin, serotonin and extracellular which this channel is regulated by phosphorylation or proteases, modulate TRPA1 via G-protein-coupled other post-translational modifications. Fig. 1. Different but interconnected signaling pathways contribute to the sensitization of TRPA1 (adapted from Andrade et al. 2012). The binding of an agonist to the bradykinin receptor 2 (B2) triggers phospholipase Cβ (PLCβ) through Gαq protein. PLCβ cleaves 2+ phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) into diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol triphosphate (IP3). Ca release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) induced by binding of IP3 to the inositol triphosphate receptor (IP3R) probably directly sensitizes TRPA1. The activation of protein kinase Cε (PKCε) by DAG results into the binding of the kinase to the anchoring protein AKAP79/150 (AKAP) bound to the C-terminus of TRPV1 and into phosphorylation of TRPV1 which, in turn, sensitizes this channel to an agonist, promoting Ca2+ influx. AKAP79/150 binds also to TRPA1 (Zhang et al. 2008). The B2 receptor can also stimulate the Gαs protein that activates the synthesis of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) by adenylate cyclase (AC). The activation of protein kinase A (PKA) by cAMP or the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by DAG sensitizes TRPA1 (putative phosphorylatable serine/threonine residues are indicated as yellow circles). In addition, PKA can also bind to the AKAP79/150 protein on TRPV1 together with PKCε and the phosphatase calcineurin (PP2B) to either phosphorylate or dephosphorylate the receptor at serine S502, depicted as a yellow circle. 2017 Structural Basis of TRPA1 Regulation 427 Structural characteristics of TRPA1 trypsin, acting on G protein-coupled receptors, stimulate the production of intracellular mediators that directly or All TRP channels share a similar general indirectly activate TRPA1.

In contrast to the authors, we propose that M+A+ prime molecular sensors for thermal and chemical stimuli in neurons express TRPA1 as the prime cold and menthol these sensory neurons.

Since its discovery as an uncharacterized transmembrane protein in human fibroblasts, TRPA1 has become one of the most intensively studied ion channels. Its function has been linked to regulation of heat and cold perception, mechanosensitivity, hearing, inflam- mation, pain, circadian rhythms, chemoreception, and other processes. Some of these proposed functions remain controversial, while others have gathered considerable experimental support. A truly polymodal ion channel, TRPA1 is activated by various stimuli, including electrophilic chemicals, oxygen, temperature, and mechanical force, yet the molecular mechanism of TRPA1 gating remains obscure. In this review, we discuss recent advances in the understanding of TRPA1 physiology, pharmacology, and molecular function.

Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial disorder wherein the eyes react to trivial stimuli with abnormal sensations, such as dryness, blurring, presence of foreign body, discomfort, irritation, and pain. There is increasing evidence of TRP channel dysfunction (i.e., TRPV1 and TRPM8) in DED pathophysiology. Here, we review some of this literature and discuss one strategy on how to manage DED using a TRPM8 agonist.

  • New Natural Agonists of the Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 (TRPA1
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN New natural agonists of the transient receptor potential Ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel Coline Legrand, Jenny Meylan Merlini, Carole de Senarclens‑Bezençon & Stéphanie Michlig* The transient receptor potential (TRP) channels family are cationic channels involved in various physiological processes as pain, infammation, metabolism, swallowing function, gut motility, thermoregulation or adipogenesis. In the oral cavity, TRP channels are involved in chemesthesis, the sensory chemical transduction of spicy ingredients. Among them, TRPA1 is activated by natural molecules producing pungent, tingling or irritating sensations during their consumption. TRPA1 can be activated by diferent chemicals found in plants or spices such as the electrophiles isothiocyanates, thiosulfnates or unsaturated aldehydes. TRPA1 has been as well associated to various physiological mechanisms like gut motility, infammation or pain. Cinnamaldehyde, its well known potent agonist from cinnamon, is reported to impact metabolism and exert anti-obesity and anti-hyperglycemic efects. Recently, a structurally similar molecule to cinnamaldehyde, cuminaldehyde was shown to possess anti-obesity and anti-hyperglycemic efect as well. We hypothesized that both cinnamaldehyde and cuminaldehyde might exert this metabolic efects through TRPA1 activation and evaluated the impact of cuminaldehyde on TRPA1. The results presented here show that cuminaldehyde activates TRPA1 as well. Additionally, a new natural agonist of TRPA1, tiglic aldehyde, was identifed

  • Oxidative Stress Induces Stem Cell Proliferation Via TRPA1/Ryr
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Oxidative stress induces stem cell proliferation via TRPA1/RyR-mediated Ca2+ signaling in the Drosophila midgut Chiwei Xu1, Junjie Luo2,3, Li He1, Craig Montell2,3, Norbert Perrimon1,4* 1Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, United States; 2Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, United States; 3Neuroscience Research Institute, University of California, Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, United States; 4Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston, United States Abstract Precise regulation of stem cell activity is crucial for tissue homeostasis and necessary to prevent overproliferation. In the Drosophila adult gut, high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been detected with different types of tissue damage, and oxidative stress has been shown to be both necessary and sufficient to trigger intestinal stem cell (ISC) proliferation. However, the connection between oxidative stress and mitogenic signals remains obscure. In a screen for genes required for ISC proliferation in response to oxidative stress, we identified two regulators of cytosolic Ca2+ levels, transient receptor potential A1 (TRPA1) and ryanodine receptor (RyR). Characterization of TRPA1 and RyR demonstrates that Ca2+ signaling is required for oxidative stress-induced activation of the Ras/MAPK pathway, which in turns drives ISC proliferation. Our findings provide a link between redox regulation and Ca2+ signaling and reveal a novel mechanism by which ISCs detect stress signals.

TRP channels play a role in sensory signaling for taste, thermosensation, mechanosensation, and nociception. Activation of TRP channels (e.g., TRPM5) in taste receptors by food/chemicals (e.g., capsaicin) is essential in the acquisition of nutrients, which fuel metabolism, growth, and development. Pain signals from these nociceptors are essential for harm avoidance. Dysfunctional TRP channels have been associated with neuropathic pain, inflammation, and reduced ability to detect taste stimuli. Humans have long recognized the relationship between taste and pain. However, the mechanisms and relationship among these taste–pain sensorial experiences are not fully understood.
