TRPM3-mediated dynamic mitochondrial activity in nerve growth factor-induced latent sensitization of chronic low back pain

Dan Wang et al.

Summary: The study investigates the role of TRPM3 ion channel in nociceptive dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and discovers that nerve growth factor (NGF) enhances TRPM3 function and alters mitochondrial activity. It suggests that the pulsatile superoxide production triggered by TRPM3 activation may serve as an early signaling event for pain sensitization. This finding has the potential to be a novel therapeutic strategy for chronic pain conditions.

TRP channels: a journey towards a molecular understanding of pain

Tamara Rosenbaum et al.

Summary: Recent studies on transient receptor potential (TRP) channel structure have provided valuable insights into their role in normal sensations and pain. This review article examines the recent advances in understanding the relationship between the structure and function of TRP ion channels and their involvement in pain. The perception of nociceptive signals and the avoidance of pain are crucial for survival. TRP channels, as transducers of harmful signals, play a significant role in detecting and translating these signals into pain. Cryogenic electron microscopy has allowed researchers to explore the molecular details of TRP channels, complementing functional studies and enhancing our understanding of their contribution to pain generation and maintenance.

TRPM3 expression and control of glutamate release from primary vagal afferent neurons

Forrest J. Ragozzino et al.

Summary: TRPM3 plays a significant role in controlling spontaneous glutamate release in vagal afferents and serves as an additional temperature-sensitive calcium conductance. Its genetic deletion does not affect synchronous or asynchronous glutamate release, indicating its specific role in regulating temperature-driven neurotransmission in autonomic reflex function.

Partial Agonistic Actions of Sex Hormone Steroids on TRPM3 Function

Eleonora Persoons et al.

Summary: Sex hormone steroidal drugs, including pregnenolone sulphate (PS), were found to modulate the ion channel TRPM3. These drugs have both activating and inhibiting effects on TRPM3, with a common steroidal interaction site. They exhibit increased activity on TRPM3 at physiological temperatures and in channels with disease-associated mutations, providing valuable insights into TRPM3 gating and sensitivity to ligands.

Spinal cord fractalkine (CX3CL1) signaling is critical for neuronal sensitization in experimental nonspecific, myofascial low back pain

Katharina Sessler et al.

Summary: Fractalkine signaling plays a critical role in the sensitization of dorsal horn neurons induced by repetitive nociceptive stimuli, suggesting it may be a potential target for preventing nonspecific, myofascial low back pain. Blocking fractalkine signaling with neutralizing antibodies prevents spinal sensitization, while intrathecal administration of fractalkine induces similar sensitization patterns as nociceptive stimuli.

TRPM3 in Brain (Patho)Physiology

Katharina Held et al.

Summary: Ion channels play a crucial role in regulating neural processes in the brain, and disruptions in their functions can lead to various neurological disorders. TRP ion channels are key players in the development and physiological functions of the central nervous system, influencing processes like neurite growth and synaptic plasticity. TRPM3, a non-selective cation channel, is emerging as a new player in the brain with potential roles in neuropathological processes.

Rat dorsal horn neurons primed by stress develop a long-lasting manifest sensitization after a short-lasting nociceptive low back input

Sathish Kumar Singaravelu et al.

Summary: The study showed that repeated restraint stress followed by a short-lasting nociceptive input can lead to manifest sensitization of dorsal horn neurons to deep input, particularly from tissue outside the low back, along with an increased resting activity.
