Mechanism underlying the negative inotropic effect in rat left ventricle in hyperthermia: the role of TRPV1.
    The journal of physiological sciences : JPS, 2020, Feb-05, Volume: 70, Issue:1

    We have previously reported that the negative inotropic effects of hyperthermia (42 °C) on left ventricular (LV) mechanoenergetics using the excised, cross-circulated rat heart model. Here, we investigated the role of TRPV1 on LV mechanoenergetics in hyperthermia. We analyzed the LV end-systolic pressure-volume relation (ESPVR) and the linear relation between the myocardial oxygen consumption per beat (VO

The investigation of allosteric regulation mechanism of analgesic effect using SD rat taste bud tissue biosensor.
    Biosensors & bioelectronics, 2019, Feb-01, Volume: 126

    In this study, a taste bud tissue biosensor was prepared by a starch-sodium alginate cross-linking fixation method. Capsaicin was used as a TRPV1 noxious ion channel activator to investigate the antagonism kinetics of six different substances on capsaicin. The results showed that capsazepine, AMG517, loureirin B, and tetrahydropalmatine were all competitive allosteric regulatory ligands for capsaicin, while aconitine and anandamide were mixed allosteric regulatory ligand that combines non-competition and competition effect. Through analyzing the kinetic parameters of capsaicin and its competitive allosteric regulatory ligands, and comparing the structures between spicy substances and endocannabinoids, the importance of amide groups and similar groups in the allosteric regulation of cannabinoids (CB) receptors and analgesic mechanism was elucidated. This indicates that vanilloid activators turn on the TRPV1 ion channel to transmit only pain and other nociceptive signals, while capsaicin and its competitive ligands are capable of activating intracellular G protein/PI3K/PIP2 signaling pathways by binding to endogenous cannabinoid receptors, and then increase intracellular PIP2 levels (the increasing PIP2 can competitively replace capsaicin and other vanilloid activators), thereby closing the TRPV1 channel and exerting the analgesic effect. The elucidation of this mechanism of pain and analgesia will lay the theoretical foundation and new ideas for investigating nociceptive signal and screening potential analgesic drugs.

Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1-mediated expression and secretion of endothelial cell-derived calcitonin gene-related peptide.
    Regulatory peptides, 2008, Oct-09, Volume: 150, Issue:1-3

    Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), the principal transmitter in sensory nerves, could also be expressed in vascular endothelium. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1(TRPV1), which modulates the synthesis and release of CGRP in sensory nerves, is also present in endothelial cells. The present study tested whether TRPV1 modulates the release and synthesis of CGRP in endothelial cells, and evaluated the protective effect of endothelial cell-derived CGRP. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with capsaicin or hyperthermia. The level of CGRP mRNA was detected by RT-PCR, and protein level was measured by radioimmunoassay. Endothelial cell injury was induced by lysophosphatidylcholine, and evaluated by cell viability and lactate dehydrogenase activity. HUVECs expressed CGRP, both alpha- and beta-subtype. Capsaicin increased the level of CGRP in the culture medium, and up-regulated the expression of CGRP in endothelial cells. Hyperthermia also increased the level of CGRP mRNA. These effects were abolished by capsazepine, a competitive antagonist of TRPV1. Capsaicin significantly attenuated the endothelial cell damage induced by LPC, which was prevented and aggravated by capsazepine or CGRP(8-37,) antagonist of CGRP receptor. These results indicate that TRPV1 also regulates the expression and secretion of endothelial cell-derived CGRP, which affords protective effects on endothelial cells.

Involvement of a capsaicin-sensitive TRPV1-independent mechanism in lipopolysaccharide-induced fever in chickens.
    Comparative biochemistry and physiology. Part A, Molecular & integrative physiology, 2007, Volume: 148, Issue:3

    It has been demonstrated that capsaicin blocks lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced fever in mammals. In this study, we investigated TRPV1 (transient receptor potential ion channel of vanilloid subtype-1)-independent action of capsaicin on LPS-induced fever in chickens. The chicken is a valuable model for this purpose because chicken TRPV1 has been shown to be insensitive to capsaicin and thus the effects of capsaicin can be attributed to TRPV1-independent mechanisms. Administration of capsaicin (10 mg/kg, iv) to conscious unrestrained chicks at 5 days of age caused a transient decrease in body temperature. This effect of capsaicin was not observed in chicks that had been pretreated twice with capsaicin, indicating that the capsaicin-sensitive pathway can be desensitized. LPS (2 mg/kg, ip) induced fever that lasted for about 2.5 h, but fever was not induced in chicks that had been pretreated with capsaicin for 2 days. The preventive effect of capsaicin on LPS-induced fever was not blocked by capsazepine, an antagonist for TRPV1, but the antagonist per se blocked the febrile response to LPS. These findings suggest that a capsaicin-sensitive TRPV1-independent mechanism may be involved in LPS-induced fever.

Lipopolysaccharide fever is initiated via a capsaicin-sensitive mechanism independent of the subtype-1 vanilloid receptor.
    British journal of pharmacology, 2004, Volume: 143, Issue:8

    As pretreatment with intraperitoneal capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide, CAP), an agonist of the vanilloid receptor known as VR1 or transient receptor potential channel-vanilloid receptor subtype 1 (TRPV-1), has been shown to block the first phase of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) fever in rats, this phase is thought to depend on the TRPV-1-bearing sensory nerve fibers originating in the abdominal cavity. However, our recent studies suggest that CAP blocks the first phase via a non-neural mechanism. In the present work, we studied whether this mechanism involves the TRPV-1. Adult Long-Evans rats implanted with chronic jugular catheters were used. Pretreatment with CAP (5 mg kg(-1), i.p.) 10 days before administration of LPS (10 microg kg(-1), i.v.) resulted in the loss of the entire first phase and a part of the second phase of LPS fever. Pretreatment with the ultrapotent TRPV-1 agonist resiniferatoxin (RTX; 2, 20, or 200 microg kg(-1), i.p.) 10 days before administration of LPS had no effect on the first and second phases of LPS fever, but it exaggerated the third phase at the highest dose. The latter effect was presumably due to the known ability of high doses of TRPV-1 agonists to cause a loss of warm sensitivity, thus leading to uncontrolled, hyperpyretic responses. Pretreatment with the selective competitive TRPV-1 antagonist capsazepine (N-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)ethyl]-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-7,8-dihydroxy-2H-2-benzazepine-2-carbothioamidem, CPZ; 40 mg kg(-1), i.p.) 90 min before administration of LPS (10 microg kg(-1), i.v.) or CAP (1 mg kg(-1), i.p.) did not affect LPS fever, but blocked the immediate hypothermic response to acute administration of CAP. It is concluded that LPS fever is initiated via a non-neural mechanism, which is CAP-sensitive but RTX- and CPZ-insensitive. The action of CAP on this mechanism is likely TRPV-1-independent. It is speculated that this mechanism may be the production of prostaglandin E(2) by macrophages in LPS-processing organs.
