Abstract | The TRPM8 cation channel can be activated by the cooling compound icilin. Recently, we showed that stimulation of TRPM8 channels induces a signaling cascade leading to the activation of the transcription factor AP-1. Additionally, expression of the AP-1 constituent c-Fos has been shown to be induced following TRPM8 stimulation. c-Fos is frequently used as a marker for neuronal activity. Here, we have analyzed the mechanism connecting TRPM8 stimulation and c-Fos expression. Furthermore, we analyzed the expression of the neuronal activity-responsive transcription factor Egr-1 following TRPM8 activation. The results show that icilin-induced stimulation of TRPM8 channels increased c-Fos promoter activity and induced c-Fos expression. Moreover, icilin stimulation increased Egr-1 promoter activity and induced the expression of Egr-1. Pharmacological inhibition of TRPM8 blocked the icilin-induced expression of Egr-1 and c-Fos.
