Summary: EMT is a tightly regulated process essential for normal development but can also lead to fibrosis and cancer progression. Calcium is a key player in translating molecular messages during EMT, and calcium-permeable ion channels play a significant role in influencing cellular phenotype. TRP channels, as cellular sensors, are important proteins involved in decoding physical and chemical stimuli, making them ideal candidates to study in the context of phenotypic transitions like EMT.

Summary: Capsaicin, derived from chili pepper, has various pharmacological actions, including analgesic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiobesity, and antioxidant effects. It acts on not only TRPV1 receptor, but also other ion channels and enzymes. This study categorizes the non-TRPV1 targets of capsaicin and discusses the cellular and molecular mechanisms of its TRPV1-independent effects.

Summary: Asthma is a chronic disease with a complex etiology, influenced by both natural-climatic and anthropogenic factors. Studies have shown that temperature plays a significant role in airway inflammation, and thermosensory TRP channels are crucial in the pathogenesis of asthma. New treatment methods for asthma exacerbations caused by temperature and humidity should focus on regulating channel activity.

Summary: The TRPA1 channel is a non-selective cation channel that detects irritant chemicals and is associated with pain, inflammation, and pruritus. TRPA1 antagonists have shown promise as treatments for various diseases, but their performance in clinical studies has been disappointing. There is a need for antagonists with higher selectivity, metabolic stability, and solubility. Additionally, TRPA1 agonists help in understanding activation mechanisms and aid in the screening of antagonists. This perspective summarizes the recent development of TRPA1 antagonists and agonists, focusing on structure-activity relationships and pharmacological activity, with the aim of inspiring the development of more effective TRPA1-modulating drugs.

Summary: This review discusses recent discoveries about transient receptor potential and their role in thermoregulatory mechanisms of animals, emphasizing the importance of understanding how these receptors are activated and the pathways they use to recognize specific thermal sensations. Ongoing research aims to develop therapeutic approaches targeting these receptors to improve non-human animals' quality of life. The review presents and analyzes findings on TRP structure, physiology, and neurotransmission in thermoregulation, highlighting the need for further studies to advance our understanding of these mechanisms and control thermoregulatory disorders.

Summary: DEG/ENaCs interact with neuropeptides via different structural bases and origins, where RFamide neuropeptides activate FaNaCs in invertebrates and modulate ASICs in vertebrates. Dynorphin opioid peptides, on the other hand, stabilize the closed state of ASICs. Despite similar peptide sequences, peptides interacting with DEG/ENaCs from different phyla are evolutionarily unrelated to each other.

Summary: Temperature-sensitive transient receptor potential vanilloid ion channel subtypes 1-4 (thermoTRPV1-thermoTRPV4) play important roles in various physiological processes and can be modulated by natural product compounds. Understanding their activation mechanisms and mapping the binding sites for modulatory compounds is crucial for drug development.
