TRPA1 is a member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel family expressed in sensory neurons. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The expression of TRP channels in CHO cells demonstrates that both WIN and AM1241 activate TRPA1 and, by doing so, attenuate capsaicin and mustard oil responses. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
TRPA1, a TRP ion channel expressed in chemosensory C-fibers, is activated by almost all oxidizing and electrophilic chemicals, including chlorine, acrolein, tear gas agents, and methyl isocyanate, the highly noxious chemical released in the Bhopal disaster. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
After injection of endomorphin-1 (Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH(2)), endomorphin-2 (Tyr-Pro-Phe-Phe-NH(2)), Met-enkephalin (Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met-OH), and Tyr-MIF-1 (Tyr-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH(2)) into the lateral ventricle of the mouse brain, residual radioactivity was measured at 0, 2, 5, 10, and 20 min later. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Since differences in plasma volume, which could partially explain the reduction in plasma free-[Trp] and free-Trp:Tyr ratio were not observed in the present experiment, the exact mechanism(s) responsible for the observed reduction in plasma free-[Trp] and free-Trp:Tyr ratio after Cr loading (despite no difference in plasma [FFA]) and the significance of these observations remain to be determined. | |||||||||||||||

|
The pattern of Trp photoproducts formed by the two compounds differs and is specific for each type of sensitization process. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Additionally, in the hippocampus of Tdo-/- mice, the level of 5-HT, which is synthesized from Trp, is 2-fold higher than that in control mice [14]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
To examine whether this phenotype is recapitulated in vivo, we used TaqMan RT-PCR to look at changes in TRP channel gene expression in mouse TG tissues harvested after 3 weeks treatment with platinum drugs [48]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
This quantitative approach enabled comparisons of the relative changes in expression of each TRP mRNA in response to platinum drugs at varying time points. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
With prolonged drug exposure, sustained increase of the TRP transcripts expression may result from increased long-term neuronal excitability. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
These data demonstrate a time dependent transcriptional modulation of the expression pattern of TRP channels on DRG neurons following exposure to cisplatin. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
However, in agreement with our results in mice, we were unable to detect an upregulation in TRP channel expression in either ganglia following injury. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Sensory neurons express a wide variety of TRP channels that are thought to be in some manner, sensitive to mechanical force, including TRPA1, TRPV2, TRPV4, TRPC1, TRPC6 and TRPP2 [4], [26]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Our results suggest that cold allodynia does not arise directly from changes in TRP channel expression. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
TRP channel expression remains constant for a period of hours after dissociation [29], therefore all experiments were performed within 3 hours of plating cells. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
We now know that thermosensitive afferents express ion channels of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family that respond at distinct temperature thresholds, thus establishing the molecular basis for thermosensation. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The above hypothesis was confirmed by the concurrent cloning of a cold and menthol receptor by two independent groups; one using menthol to expression-clone a cDNA, from rat TG neurons, that could confer menthol-sensitivity in heterologous expression systems [14], and another that used a genomics approach to identify TRP channels expressed in mouse DRG neurons [28]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The 21 kDa protein overexpressed in HL and aggressive NHL is identical to CYB5B. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Since we had previously reported that PHA-activated T cells do not express the 21 kDa protein at the cell surface [24], the detection of CYB5B in a PHA-induced T-lymphocyte cDNA library derived protein array may seem like a contradiction. | |||||||||||||||
