UV light phototransduction activates transient receptor potential A1 ion channels in human melanocytes.
Human skin is constantly exposed to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR), the most prevalent environmental carcinogen. Humans have the unique ability among mammals to respond to UVR by increasing their skin pigmentation, a protective process driven by melanin synthesis in epidermal melanocytes. The molecular mechanisms used by melanocytes to detect and respond to long-wavelength UVR (UVA) are not ...
متن کاملTransient receptor potential ion channels V4 and A1 contribute to pancreatitis pain in mice.
The mechanisms of pancreatic pain, a cardinal symptom of pancreatitis, are unknown. Proinflammatory agents that activate transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in nociceptive neurons can cause neurogenic inflammation and pain. We report a major role for TRPV4, which detects osmotic pressure and arachidonic acid metabolites, and TRPA1, which responds to 4-hydroxynonenal and cyclopentenone p...
متن کاملTransient receptor potential channels in the vasculature.
The mammalian genome encodes 28 distinct members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of cation channels, which exhibit varying degrees of selectivity for different ionic species. Multiple TRP channels are present in all cells and are involved in diverse aspects of cellular function, including sensory perception and signal transduction. Notably, TRP channels are involved in reg...
متن کاملTransient receptor potential channels meet phosphoinositides
Transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channels are unique cellular sensors that are involved in multiple cellular functions, ranging from transduction of sensory signals to the regulation of Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) homoeostasis. Malfunctioning of TRP channels is now recognized as the cause of several hereditary and acquired human diseases. At the time of cloning of the first Drosophila TRP channe...
متن کاملRedox regulation of transient receptor potential channels.
SIGNIFICANCE Environmental and endogenous reactive species such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and other electrophiles are not only known to exert toxic effects on organisms, but are also emerging as molecules that mediate cell signaling responses. However, the mechanisms underlying this cellular redox signaling by reactive species remains largely uncharacter...
