Here we use click chemistry to show that derivatives of two such compounds, mustard oil and cinnamaldehyde, covalently bind mouse TRPA1. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In native sensory neurons, TRPA1 is likely part of a macromolecular complex where it may interact intimately with other transmembrane proteins. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The true concentration of PGJ2 in the cell that interacts with TRPA1 is difficult to know. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
We observed that most compounds known to activate TRPA1 are able to covalently bind cysteine residues. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Interestingly, both TRPA1 protein expression and mRNA were over-expressed in spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) of mice treated with CFA, an effect that was fully prevented by the pre-treatment with the TRPA1 antagonist HC-030031. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Combined with the lack of clear evidence of direct mechanical activation of the recombinant mammalian TRPA1, these data raise the possibility that TRPA1 is not intrinsically mechanically sensitive, but instead serves as an amplifier or a signal integrator that is downstream of the bona fide mechanoreceptor(s). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
We report a major role for TRPV4, which detects osmotic pressure and arachidonic acid metabolites, and TRPA1, which responds to 4-hydroxynonenal and cyclopentenone prostaglandins, in pancreatic inflammation and pain in mice. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
TRPA1 is also targeted by environmental irritants, such as acrolein, that account for toxic and inflammatory actions of tear gas, vehicle exhaust, and metabolic byproducts of chemotherapeutic agents. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Structurally unrelated cysteine-modifying agents such as iodoacetamide (IA) and (2-aminoethyl)methanethiosulphonate (MTSEA) also bind and activate TRPA1. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
mice may be due to a direct contribution of TRPA1 channel activation to mechanically-gated SA currents or to alteration or downregulation of other associated proteins that normally form a structure/function complex with TRPA1. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
TRPA1 Mediates Mechanical Currents in the Plasma Membrane of Mouse Sensory Neurons
Mechanosensitive channels serve as essential sensors for cells to interact with their environment. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In further experiments, individual L4 and L5 ganglia were dissected from control and CCI rats and processed as above for qRT-PCR of TRPM8, TRPA1 and GAPDH mRNA.
| |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
While its role in cold and mechanical sensation remains unclear, there is a growing body evidence that TRPA1 is a key chemical sensor and is directly activated by diverse chemicals and the products of cell and tissue injury [66]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
These results suggest that TRPA1 and TRPV1 mediate slow-SNAP+ and fast-SNAP+ responses, respectively, demonstrating that native TRPV1 and TRPA1 are each required for normal NO sensing. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
To verify our calcium imaging results, and to address whether NO-activation is membrane delimited, we next used electrophysiological methods to directly determine whether SNAP could activate recombinant TRPA1 and TRPV1. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Although other TRP ion channels were not tested, these results suggest that 15d-PGJ2 is specific for TRPA1 among three TRP channels tested. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Activation of Mu and Kappa opioid receptors antagonized the stimulant action of icillin on TRPA1 [232], suggesting a central mechanism of interaction between opioid receptors and TRPA1. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
TRPA1 was sensitized by PLC activator m-3M3FBS (1 ? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
For example, specific pharmacological inhibition strongly suggests a role of TRPA1 in the sensitization of nociceptors to mechanical stimuli, but compensatory mechanisms completely mask this role in TRPA1 deficient mice [100]
'Modality-specific' peripheral sensory neurons also express transduction molecules for different stimuli | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Hence, cannabinoid mechanisms may play an important role by interacting with the TRPA1 component in these nociceptors.
