Molecular and Cellular Involvement in CIPN

Biomedicines, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 12(4), С. 751 - 751

Опубликована: Март 28, 2024

Many anti-cancer drugs, such as taxanes, platinum compounds, vinca alkaloids, and proteasome inhibitors, can cause chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). CIPN is a frequent harmful side effect that affects the sensory, motor, autonomic nerves, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, reduced quality of life. The causes are not fully known, but they involve direct nerve damage, oxidative stress, inflammation, DNA microtubule dysfunction, altered ion channel activity. also affected by genetic, epigenetic, environmental factors modulate risk intensity damage. Currently, there no effective treatments or prevention methods for CIPN, symptom management mostly symptomatic palliative. Therefore, high demand better understanding cellular molecular mechanisms involved in well development new biomarkers therapeutic targets. This review gives an overview current knowledge challenges field focusing on biological underlying this disorder.

Impact of cannabinoids on cancer outcomes in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy

Frontiers in Immunology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 16

Cannabinoids relieve pain, nausea, anorexia and anxiety, improve quality of life in several cancer patients. The immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), although very successful a subset patients, is accompanied by moderate to severe immune-related adverse events (ir-AE) that often necessitate its discontinuation. Because their role symptomatic relief, cannabinoids have been used combination immune inhibitor (ICI) immunotherapy. A few studies strongly suggest the use medicinal cannabis patients attenuates many ir-AE associated ICI increase tolerability. However, no significant beneficial effects on overall survival, progression free survival or relapses were observed; rather, some noted concurrent administration clinical benefits latter. cannabinoids' well documented immunosuppressive mediated through cannabinoid recptor-2 (CB2), we propose considering this receptor as an inhibitory per se. simultaneous neutralization CB2, treatment, may lead better outcomes receiving In regard, such cannabidiol (CBD) cannabigerol (CBG), little agonism for be therapeutic choices. Additional strategies e.g., monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) degrade endocannabinoids lipogenesis formation lipid bilayers cells also explored.

Molecular determinants of TRPM8 function: key clues for a cool modulation

Frontiers in Pharmacology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 14

Опубликована: Июнь 14, 2023

Cold thermoreceptor neurons detect temperature drops with highly sensitive molecular machinery concentrated in their peripheral free nerve endings. The main entity responsible for cold transduction these is the thermo-TRP channel TRPM8. Cold, cooling compounds such as menthol, voltage, and osmolality rises activate this polymodal ion channel. Dysregulation of TRPM8 activity underlies several physiopathological conditions, including painful hypersensitivity response to axonal damage, migraine, dry-eye disease, overactive bladder, forms cancer. Although could be an attractive target treating prevalent diseases, there still a need potent specific modulators potentially suitable future clinical trials. This goal requires complete understanding determinants underlying activation by chemical physical agonists, inhibition antagonists, modulatory mechanisms behind its function guide more successful treatment strategies. review recapitulates information obtained from different mutagenesis approaches that have allowed identification amino acids cavity comprised S1-S4 TRP domains determine modulation ligands. In addition, we summarize studies revealing regions within N- C-terminus transmembrane domain contribute cold-dependent gating. We also highlight latest milestone field: cryo-electron microscopy structures TRPM8, which provided better comprehension 21 years extensive research channel, shedding light on bases modulation, promoting rational design novel drugs selectively regulate abnormal under pathophysiological conditions.

Direct modulation of TRPM8 ion channels by rapamycin and analog macrolide immunosuppressants

Опубликована: Фев. 28, 2025

Rapamycin (sirolimus), a macrolide compound isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces hygroscopicus , is widely used as oral medication for prevention of transplant rejection and treatment lymphangioleiomyomatosis. It also incorporated in coronary stent coatings to prevent restenosis topical preparations skin disorders. Rapamycin’s vivo activities are generally ascribed its binding protein FKBP12, leading potent inhibition mechanistic target rapamycin kinase (mTOR) by FKBP12-rapamycin complex. The specific rapamycin-induced interaction between domains mTOR FKBP12 frequently employed cell biological research, rapid chemically-induced dimerization strategies. Here we show that activates TRPM8, cation channel expressed sensory nerve endings serves primary cold sensor mammals. Using combination electrophysiology, Saturation Transfer Triple-Difference (STTD) NMR spectroscopy molecular docking-based targeted mutagenesis, demonstrate directly binds TRPM8. We identify rapamycin-binding site groove voltage sensor-like domain pore domain, distinct sites cooling agents known TRPM8 agonists menthol icilin. Related immunosuppressants act partial agonists, competing with same site. These findings novel provide new insights into mechanisms activation, which may assist development therapies targeting this ion channel.

FEBS Journal, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Март 23, 2025

Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 8 (TRPM8) is a nonselective thermosensory expressed in peripheral nociceptor terminals where it transduces cold temperatures and cooling agents such as menthol. TRPM8 dysfunction has been involved disabling sensory symptoms, allodynia. In addition, its widespread expression signaled this pivotal therapeutic target for variety of diseases, from neuropathies to cancer. Thus, the design validation antagonists an important endeavor biomedicine. To address this, we used multicomponent Passerini Ugi reactions novel family modulators using scaffold adamantane ring that exhibits drug‐like qualities. These green chemistry transformations are ideal fast synthesis libraries medium complexity with minimal or no generation waste by‐products. We report identification agonists antagonists. Among them, 2‐((3S,5S,7S)‐adamantan‐1‐ylamino)‐2‐oxoethyl [1,1′‐biphenyl]‐2‐carboxylate (referred compound 23 ) potent selective antagonist reduces TRPM8‐induced neuronal firing primary cultures. Compound 10‐fold higher potency human (hTRPM8) than hTRPV1 hTRPA1 channels. Notably, local administration significantly attenuated oxaliplatin‐induced allodynia by modulating epidermal endings. α‐acyloxy carboxamide appears promising candidate topically intervene on TRPM8‐mediated neuropathies.
