    Abstract Background and purpose: Antagonists of TRPV1 that inhibit all activation modes cause hyperthermia, hampering their medical use as novel analgesics. TRPV1 antagonists that do not (fully) inhibit responses to low pH do not cause hyperthermia, but it remains incompletely understood how such antagonists affect channel gating. We tested the hypothesis that pH-sparing antagonists act in a modality-selective manner on TRPV1, differentially affecting channel activation by protons and capsaicin.
    Experimental approach: Using whole-cell patch-clamp and calcium imaging to measure channel activity in cells expressing wild type human TRPV1 or the pH-insensitive mutant F660A. Responses to protons and capsaicin were measured at different pH values in the presence of antagonists that reportedly partially spare (A-1165442) or potentiate (AMG7905) acid-evoked channel activation.
    Key results: At pH 5.5, A-1165442 was equipotent at blocking acid- and capsaicin-evoked responses of wild type TRPV1. Its potency to inhibit acid-evoked responses was attenuated at pH ≤ 5.0. AMG7905, at a concentration (1 μM) that fully inhibits capsaicin-evoked responses, potentiated proton-evoked (pH 5.5) responses of wild type TRPV1. In the F660A mutant, the inhibitory efficacy of A-1165442 and AMG7905 towards capsaicin-evoked responses was reduced at lower pH values and AMG7905 acted as a partial agonist.
    Conclusion and implications: Our findings show that A-1165442 and AMG7905 interact in a pH-dependent manner with TRPV1, but this pH dependence is not strictly modality-selective. Reduced TRPV1 antagonism at acidic pH may limit analgesic efficacy in injured tissue and needs to be considered in models explaining the effects of antagonists on core body temperature.

    Abstract Several decades of research support the involvement of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in nociception. Despite the disappointments of early TRPV1 antagonist programs, the TRP family remains a promising therapeutic target in pain disorders. High-dose capsaicin patches are already in clinical use to relieve neuropathic pain. At present, localized injections of the side-directed TRPV1 agonist capsaicin and resiniferatoxin are undergoing clinical trials in patients with osteoarthritis and bone cancer pain. TRPA1, TRPM3, and TRPC5 channels are also of significant interest. This review discusses the role of TRP channels in human pain conditions.

    Abstract Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) are a broad and varied group of disorders that affect the brain and are characterized by epilepsy and comorbid intellectual disability (ID). These conditions have a broad spectrum of symptoms and can be caused by various underlying factors, including genetic mutations, infections, and other medical conditions. The exact cause of DEE remains largely unknown in the majority of cases. However, in around 25 % of patients, rare nonsynonymous coding variants in genes encoding ion channels, cell-surface receptors, and other neuronally expressed proteins are identified. This review focuses on a subgroup of DEE patients carrying variations in the gene encoding the Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 3 (TRPM3) ion channel, where recent data indicate that gain-of-function of TRPM3 channel activity underlies a spectrum of dominant neurodevelopmental disorders.

    Abstract Accurate sensing of the environmental temperature is crucial for the survival and wellbeing of organisms. In vertebrates, the cold- and menthol-activated ion channel TRPM8 acts as the prime molecular sensor of cool temperatures. By comparing TRPM8 in vertebrates with different habitat temperatures, from elephants to penguins, Yang et al. identify key residues within the pore domain that determine the channel's cold sensitivity. Strikingly, mice engineered to express penguin TRPM8 show a remarkable tolerance to cold.

    Abstract Several TRP channels exhibit highly temperature-dependent gating properties, which leads to steep changes in depolarising current upon either cooling or heating. Based on this characteristic feature, these so-called "thermoTRPs" have been widely studied with the aim to elucidate their potential key role as thermosensors in the somatosensory system and to understand the basis of their high thermal sensitivity. In this chapter, I provide a brief critical overview of current knowledge on the role of TRP channels in thermosensing and on the thermodynamic and molecular basis of their steep temperature dependence.

    Abstract Efficient cytosolic delivery of RNA molecules remains a formidable barrier for RNA therapeutic strategies. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) serve as state-of-the-art carriers that can deliver RNA molecules intracellularly, as exemplified by the recent implementation of several vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. Using a bottom-up rational design approach, we assemble LNPs that contain programmable lipid phases encapsulating small interfering RNA (siRNA). A combination of cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, cryogenic electron tomography and small-angle X-ray scattering reveals that we can form inverse hexagonal structures, which are present in a liquid crystalline nature within the LNP core. Comparison with lamellar LNPs reveals that the presence of inverse hexagonal phases enhances the intracellular silencing efficiency over lamellar structures. We then demonstrate that lamellar LNPs exhibit an in situ transition from a lamellar to inverse hexagonal phase upon interaction with anionic membranes, whereas LNPs containing pre-programmed liquid crystalline hexagonal phases bypass this transition for a more efficient one-step delivery mechanism, explaining the increased silencing effect. This rational design of LNPs with defined lipid structures aids in the understanding of the nano-bio interface and adds substantial value for LNP design, optimization and use.
