Abstract

TRPM8 (CMR1) is a Ca 2+‐permeable channel, which can be activated by low temperatures, menthol, eucalyptol and icilin. It belongs to the transient receptor potential (TRP) family, and therefore is related to vanilloid receptor type‐1 (VR1, TRPV1). We tested whether substances which are structurally related to menthol, or which produce a cooling sensation, could activate TRPM8, and compared the responses of TRPM8 and VR1 to these ligands. The effects of 70 odorants and menthol‐related substances on recombinant mouse TRPM8 (mTRPM8), expressed in HEK293 cells, were examined using a FLIPR® assay. In all, 10 substances (linalool, geraniol, hydroxycitronellal, WS‐3, WS‐23, FrescolatMGA, FrescolatML, PMD38, CoolactP and Cooling Agent 10) were found to be agonists. The EC 50 values of the agonists defined their relative potencies: icilin (0.2±0.1 μM)>FrescolatML (3.3±1.5 μM) > WS‐3 (3.7±1.7 μM) >(−)menthol (4.1±1.3 μM) >frescolatMAG (4.8±1.1 μM) > cooling agent 10 (6±2.2 μM) >(+)menthol (14.4±1.3 μM) > PMD38 (31±1.1 μM) > WS‐23 (44±7.3 μM) > Coolact P (66±20 μM) > geraniol (5.9±1.6 m M) > linalool (6.7±2.0 m M) > eucalyptol (7.7±2.0 m M) > hydroxycitronellal (19.6±2.2 m M). Known VR1 antagonists (BCTC, thio‐BCTC and capsazepine) were also able to block the response of TRPM8 to menthol (IC 50: 0.8±1.0, 3.5±1.1 and 18±1.1 μM, respectively). The Ca 2+ response of hVR1‐transfected HEK293 cells to the endogenous VR1 agonist N‐arachidonoyl‐dopamine was potentiated by low pH. In contrast, menthol‐ and icilin‐activated TRPM8 currents were suppressed by low pH. In conclusion, in the present study, we identified 10 new agonists and three antagonists of TRPM8. We found that, in contrast to VR1, TRPM8 is inhibited rather than potentiated by protons. British Journal of Pharmacology (2004) 141, 737–745. doi:10.1038/sj.bjp.0705652

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
