A molecular determinant of phosphoinositide affinity in mammalian TRPV channels [PDF]
AbstractPhosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] is an important cofactor for ion channels. Affinity for this lipid is a major determinant of channel inhibition by depletion of PI(4,5)P2 upon phospholipase C (PLC) activation. Little is known about what determines PI(4,5)P2 affinity in mammalian ion channels.

Evolution of vertebrate transient receptor potential vanilloid 3 channels: opposite temperature sensitivity between mammals and western clawed frogs. [PDF]
Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels serve as temperature receptors in a wide variety of animals and must have played crucial roles in thermal adaptation.

Background Acute cutaneous neurogenic inflammation initiated by activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) receptors following intradermal injection of capsaicin is mediated mainly by dorsal root reflexes (DRRs).

Phagocytosis depends on TRPV2-mediated calcium influx and requires TRPV2 in lipids rafts: alteration in macrophages from patients with cystic fibrosis. [PDF]
Whereas many phagocytosis steps involve ionic fluxes, the underlying ion channels remain poorly defined. As reported in mice, the calcium conducting TRPV2 channel impacts the phagocytic process.

UK Medical Cannabis Registry: A Clinical Outcomes Analysis for Migraine
This case series followed patients receiving medicinal cannabis for migraine headache for up to 2 years. At 24 months, there were significant improvements in measures assessing headache impact, anxiety, sleep quality, and general quality of life. Note that 15.27% of patients reported an adverse event, most of which were mild or moderate in severity ...

What do we know about the transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) ion channel? [PDF]
Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels are emerging as a new set of membrane proteins involved in a vast array of cellular processes and regulated by a large number of physical and chemical stimuli, which involves them with sensory cell ...

ABSTRACT Cinnamaldehyde (CA), a major component of Cinnamomum spp. essential oils, has recognized bioactivity, including possible analgesic effects. However, its acute antinociceptive mechanisms remain unclear. This study assessed the influence of CA (15, 30, and 60 mg/kg, p.o.) on locomotor and exploratory behaviors via rotarod and open field tests in

Temperature Dependence of Mutant Vanilloid Receptor (tRPV) Channels [PDF]
Temperature-gated transient receptor potential (TRP) channels exhibit exceedingly large energetic changes in activation. However, the source of energy and its structural basis are not known. Several studies have recently suggested that the pore domain of the channels plays an essential role in temperature gating.
