Summary: Migraine is a common and debilitating headache disorder with elusive pathogenesis, likely involving abnormal trigeminal and central nervous system activity. TRP channels, which transduce noxious stimuli into pain signals, play important roles in migraine pathophysiology by co-localizing with calcitonin gene-related peptide in the trigeminal ganglion and regulating its release. Effective anti-migraine therapies, such as botulinum neurotoxin type A, also impact TRP cation channel functions.

Summary: The sense of spiciness is related to the stimulation of vanilloid compounds in foods. A reusable electronic tongue based on a TRPV1 nanodisc conjugated graphene field-effect transistor is fabricated, which demonstrates spiciness-related pain evaluation using a reusable electrode. The platform shows highly selective and sensitive performance towards spiciness-related compounds repeatedly.

Summary: This review summarizes the impact of TRPs on various aspects of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), including joint swelling in vascular endothelial cells, activation and trans-endothelial migration of neutrophils, and the bridging role of TRPs in the formation of citrullinated proteins in the reactive oxygen species/TRPs/Ca2+/peptidyl arginine deiminases networks. It also discusses the distinct functions of TRPs subfamilies expressed in the nervous systems of joints in cold hyperalgesia and neuro-inflammation mutually influenced inflammatory pain in RA, highlighting the potential of TRPs in anti-inflammation and analgesic therapeutic strategies.

Summary: LS patients show abnormal distribution and density of nerve fibers, increased density of macrophages and mast cells in the skin. Genital and extragenital LS have different pathological characteristics. These findings provide insights into the pathogenesis of LS and suggest potential therapeutic targets.

Summary: This study investigates the role of TRPV4 in microglial activity and disease activity in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS). The findings suggest that although TRPV4 modulates microglial activity, it does not impact disease activity.

Summary: Olfactory disorders, closely related to cognitive deterioration, can be caused by infections, aging, and environmental chemicals. This study focused on the involvement of TRPV1 and TRPV4 channels in olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) regeneration, demonstrating that TRPV1 stimulates progenitor cell proliferation while TRPV4 regulates proliferation and maturation, suggesting their essential roles in ORN regeneration.

Summary: The effects of Diosgenin, a botanical steroidal saponin, on nociception were investigated in this study. It was found that Diosgenin reduced capsaicin-induced pain behavior and thermal hyperalgesia in mice, possibly through antagonism of TRPV1 and suppression of inflammation in the DRG. The study also revealed that Diosgenin inhibited capsaicin-induced calcium currents in DRG and CHO cells.

Summary: In this study, three series of new piperazine urea TRPV1 antagonists were designed, synthesized, and evaluated, among which compound 5ac showed excellent TRPV1 antagonistic activity, good bioavailability, and no hyperthermia side effects. The molecular docking study revealed that compound 5ac interacted well with the amino acid residues on rTRPV1 through hydrophobic interaction, making it an efficient TRPV1 antagonist and a potential candidate for analgesic drug development.

Summary: Pruritus is a common and painful symptom in psoriasis that greatly affects quality of life. Neurogenic inflammation induced pruritus is the predominant mechanism in psoriasis, with the nerve growth factor (NGF)-mediated TRPV1 pathway playing a crucial role. However, the development of systemic TRPV1 antagonists has been hindered by elevated core temperature. Therefore, topical application of TRPV1 antagonists and interference with TRPV1 activation pathway mediators could be promising therapeutic options. This review focuses on recent advances in understanding the complex regulation of the NGF-mediated TRPV1 pathway in psoriatic pruritus and the potential therapeutic approaches derived from this knowledge.

Summary: This study found that capsaicin can promote autophagy and reduce the abnormal accumulation of tau protein by activating the TRPV1 channel, thereby improving synaptic damage and cognitive impairment. Experimental validation showed that this effect is mediated by the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway. The results of this study reveal the role of capsaicin in restoring tau protein homeostasis through modulating cellular autophagy and support the potential of TRPV1 as a therapeutic target for tauopathies.
