AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Cancer is a multifactorial process associated with changes in signaling pathways leading to cell cycle variations and gene expression. The transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) channel is a non-selective cation channel expressed in neuronal and non-neuronal tissues, where it is involved in several processes, including thermosensation, differentiation, and migration. Cancer is a multifactorial process associated with changes in signaling pathways leading to variations in cell cycle and gene expression. Interestingly, it has been shown that TRPM8 channels also participate in physiological processes related to cancer, such as proliferation, survival, and invasion. For instance, TRPM8 channels have an important role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of prostate cancer. In addition, it has been reported that TRPM8 channels are involved in the progress of pancreatic, breast, bladder, colon, gastric, and skin cancers, glioblastoma, and neuroblastoma. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the role of TRPM8 channels in cancer progression. We also discuss the therapeutic potential of TRPM8 in carcinogenesis, which has been proposed as a molecular target for cancer therapy.

Temperature is closely linked to the life history of organisms, and thus thermoception is an important sensory mechanism. Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels are the key mediators of thermal sensation. In this study, we analyzed the sequence characteristics of TRPs in gecko Hemiphyllodactylus yunnanensis and compared the phylogenetic relationships of TRP family members among different Squamata species.

Background: Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) possess mechanotransduction capability, vital in orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) and maintaining periodontal homeostasis. The study aims to elucidate the expression profiles of mechanosensitive ion channel (MIC) families in PDLCs and how the inflammatory mediator alters their expression and function, advancing the understanding of the biological process of OTM.
Methods And Methods: Human PDLCs were cultured and exposed to TNF-α.

Nociceptive information is transmitted by action potentials (APs) through primary afferent neurons from the periphery to the central nervous system. Voltage-gated Na channels are involved in this AP production, while transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, which are non-selective cation channels, are involved in receiving and transmitting nociceptive stimuli in the peripheral and central terminals of the primary afferent neurons. Peripheral terminal TRP vanilloid-1 (TRPV1), ankylin-1 (TRPA1) and melastatin-8 (TRPM8) activation produces APs, while central terminal TRP activation enhances the spontaneous release of L-glutamate from the terminal to spinal cord and brain stem lamina II neurons that play a pivotal role in modulating nociceptive transmission.

Development, optimization, and calibration of human transient receptor potential (TRP) channel Ca mobilization assays for TRPM8, TRPV1, and TRPA1 are described. Heterologous expression of hTRPM8 in HEK293T cells was required for anti-TRPM8 antibody staining and TRPM8 agonist induced Ca mobilization signals which were both used to optimize transfection efficiency. FLIPR Calcium 6 dye concentration, loading time, and TRPM8 transfected cell seeding density were optimized and a DMSO tolerance of ≤0.
