The activity of TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels, their sensitivity to selective activators - allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) and capsaicin (Caps), especially their interaction were studied. The method of microfluorescent microscopy and Ca2+ sensitive dye fura- 2AM. Registration of changes in the concentration of intracellular Ca2+ was performed by using the ratio of fluorescence signals measured at two wavelengths (R = F1/ F2). Researches were conducted on cultured neurons of rat dorsal ganglia (DRG neurons). Application of AITC and Caps on soma of DRG neurons resulted in an increase in intracellular Ca2+. Consistent repeated Caps applications resulted in a significant reduction in the amplitude of Ca2+ transients ( desensitization of TRPV1 channels), which accounted 20,7% of initial value. Further application of selective TRPA1 channel agonist (AITC) resulted in restoration of sensitivity to capsaicin TRPV1 channels ( resensitization TRPV1 channels). Thus, we have established the presence of regulation of TRPV1 channel activity by TRPA1 channels.

Bacterial meningitis is a severe and life-threatening infection of the central nervous system (CNS), primarily caused by and . This condition carries a high risk of mortality and severe neurological sequelae, such as cognitive impairment and epilepsy. Pain, a central feature of meningitis, results from the activation of nociceptor sensory neurons by inflammatory mediators or bacterial toxins.

Dithranol is one of the most effective topical medications for treating plaque psoriasis. However, its clinical use is limited by irritative adverse reactions to the skin, such as oedema, erythema, and pruritus, caused by poorly understood mechanisms. Because TRPV1 activation mediates skin irritation caused by several drugs, we conducted blind and randomised experiments in male and female C57BL/6 mice to elucidate the role of TRPV1 in dithranol-induced irritation.

2-arachnadoyl glycerol (2-AG) is one of the most common endocannabinoid molecules with anti-proliferative, cytotoxic, and pro-proliferative effects on different types of tumors. Typically, it induces cell death via cannabinoid receptor 1/2 (CB1/CB2)-linked ceramide production. In breast cancer, ceramide is counterbalanced by the sphingosine-1-phosphate, and thus the mechanisms of 2-AG influence on proliferation are poorly understood.

The distinctive clinicopathologic characteristics of OLP indicated that both microbial dysbiosis and neurogenic inflammation may be jointly involved in its progression, and transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor-1 (TRPV1) may be a crucial element. The purpose of this study was to explore how TRPV1 mediated -induced inflammation. Meanwhile, we aimed to unravel how IL-36γ dysregulated the barrier function in oral keratinocytes.

Background: The search for effective painkillers has led to intensive research, with a particular focus on the transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) channel as a possible target.
Methods: One promising candidate is ononin, which is investigated for its binding with TRPV1 through a 200-ns molecular dynamic simulation and analysed via root-meansquare deviation (RMSD), root-mean-square fluctuation (RMSF), hydrogen-bond interactions, radius of gyration (RadGyr), and MM-PBSA energy calculations. The results were further validated experimentally via calcium imaging studies.
