Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a polymodal nonselective cation channel sensitive to different physical and chemical stimuli. TRPA1 is associated with many important physiological functions in different species and thus is involved in different degrees of evolution. TRPA1 acts as a polymodal receptor for the perceiving of irritating chemicals, cold, heat, and mechanical sensations in various animal species. Numerous studies have supported many functions of TRPA1, but its temperature-sensing function remains controversial. Although TRPA1 is widely distributed in both invertebrates and vertebrates, and plays a crucial role in tempreture sensing, the role of TRPA1 thermosensation and molecular temperature sensitivity are species-specific. In this review, we summarize the temperature-sensing role of TRPA1 orthologues in terms of molecular, cellular, and behavioural levels.

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.

Background: The nod-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) has been implicated in various skin diseases. However, its role in mediating 2, 4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB)-induced chronic itch remains unclear.
Methods: Widetype () and deletion ( )mice, the expression of transient receptor potential (TRP) ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) inhibitor or recombinant mice interleukin-18 (IL-18) were used to establish and evaluate the severity of DNFB-mediated chronic itch.

Low temperatures significantly impact growth in ectothermic vertebrates, though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigates the role of transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channels in mediating low temperature effects on growth performance and growth hormone (GH) resistance in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Prolonged exposure to low temperature (16°C for 35 days) impaired growth performance and induced GH resistance, characterized by elevated serum GH levels and decreased insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic syndrome that has grown globally to become a significant public health challenge. Hypothesizing that the plasma membrane protein, transient receptor potential ankyrin-1, is a pivotal target in insulin resistance, we investigated the mechanism of action of cinnamaldehyde (CIN), an electrophilic TRPA1 agonist, in skeletal muscle, a primary insulin target. Specifically, we evaluated the effect of CIN on insulin resistance, hepatic glycogen accumulation and muscle and adipose tissue glucose uptake.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex and multifaceted condition characterized by a range of clinical symptoms, including widespread pain and a strong association with migraine headaches. Recent findings have underscored the role of oxidative stress and transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel in migraine and FM. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the comorbidity between migraine and FM are unclear.
