Antioxidants: Novel Approach to ROS Sensitive TRP Channels Gating Manner
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) trigger oxidative stress conditions which leads cellular damage. Oxidative stress is the unbalanced situation in favour to the oxidants. Free oxygen radicals, in unstable conditions, may function as signal transduction molecules. Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels, as Ca2+permeable cation channels, that sense environmental changes, such as pH, temperature,...
متن کاملThermal gating of TRP ion channels: food for thought?
Members of the family of transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels mediate a wide range of sensory modalities, including thermosensation and taste. Among the "thermo-TRPs," some, such as TRPV1, are activated by warm temperatures, whereas others, such as TRPM8, are activated by cold. How is temperature able to have such strong and opposing effects on these related channels? Although at a s...
متن کاملTargeting TRP Channels For Novel Migraine Therapeutics
Migraine is increasingly understood to be a disorder of the brain. In susceptible individuals, a variety of "triggers" may influence altered central excitability, resulting in the activation and sensitization of trigeminal nociceptive afferents surrounding blood vessels (i.e., the trigeminovascular system), leading to migraine pain. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are expressed in a...
متن کاملTRP channels in skin: from physiological implications to clinical significances
TRP channels are expressed in various cells in skin. As an organ system to border the host and environment, many nonneuronal cells, including epidermal keratinocytes and melanocytes, express several TRP channels functionally distinct from sensory processing. TRPV1 and TRPV3 in keratinocytes of the epidermis and hair apparatus inhibit proliferation, induce terminal differentiation, induce apopto...
متن کاملTRP channels and thermosensation.
Recent years have seen great advances in the molecular description of sensory neurobiology. Of the five popularly characterized senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch), touch is perhaps the most varied and least understood. Within this modality is the ability to sense mechanical forces, chemical stimuli, and temperature, and the molecules that mediate this ability have been a long-stand...
