Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (trpa1) mediates il-1β-induced apoptosis in rat chondrocytes via calcium overload and mitochondrial dysfunction

open access: yesJournal of Inflammation, 2018
Background Chondrocyte apoptosis is a central feature in the progression of osteoarthritis (OA), and would be triggered by sustained elevation of intracellular calcium ion (Ca2+), also known as a cellular second messenger.

Neuronal and ion channel mechanisms of noxious heat sensing in mammals: A puzzle of sensory physiology and pharmacology

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) was the first noxious heat‐sensitive channel discovered. In rodents, its role is robust in the heat response of the cell body of polymodal nociceptors, but surprisingly small in that of the peripheral terminals in the skin.

TRPA1: irritant detector of the airways

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, 2008
The respiratory tract is innervated by primary afferent sensory neurons that respond to mechanical and chemical stimuli (Taylor-Clark & Undem, 2006). The majority of these neurons are unmyelinated C-fibres that respond to noxious chemicals, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), the main irritants of tear gas, air pollution and burning vegetation ...

Peripheral targets for neuropathic pain

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Neuropathic pain represents a significant clinical challenge, with still limited pharmacological approaches to symptomatic relief. This review focuses on molecular targets implicated in neuropathic pain, particularly those involved in peripheral mechanisms. Using the IUPHAR/BPS database of biological targets, their occurrence together with ‘neuropathic

Natural product‐derived TRPM7 channel inhibitors in neurological injury: Mechanisms, pharmacological potential and translational challenges

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Disruption of intracellular ionic homeostasis is a convergent pathological feature across diverse neurological injuries and disorders, including ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke, hypoxic–ischaemic brain injury, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy and brain tumour.

Activation of TRPA1 by membrane permeable local anesthetics

open access: yesMolecular Pain, 2011
Background Low concentrations of local anesthetics (LAs) suppress cellular excitability by inhibiting voltage-gated Na+ channels. In contrast, LAs at high concentrations can be excitatory and neurotoxic. We recently demonstrated that LA-evoked activation

Warmth suppresses and desensitizes damage-sensing ion channel TRPA1

open access: yesMolecular Pain, 2012
Background Acute or chronic tissue damage induces an inflammatory response accompanied by pain and alterations in local tissue temperature. Recent studies revealed that the transient receptor potential A1 (TRPA1) channel is activated by a wide variety of
