Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 8 (TRPM8)-Based Mechanisms Underlie Both the Cold Temperature-Induced Inflammatory Reactions and the Synergistic Effect of Cigarette Smoke in Human Bronchial Epithelial (16HBE) Cells.

ABSTRACT: Transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) is a major receptor of cold environment. Recently, we found that cigarette smoke extract (CSE) upregulated TRPM8 mRNA and protein expression in bronchial tissues that made them more sensitive to cold stimuli. In our present study, we found that cold temperature (18°C)-induced activation of TRPM8 in 16HBE (human bronchial epithelial) cells facilitated Ca²⁺ influx and subsequently led to the increased expression of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-? via the upregulation of p-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and the activation of NF-?B. In addition, 16HBE cells that co-stimulated with 18°C and CSE were used to explore the synergistic effect of CSE on cold temperature-induced inflammatory cytokine production as well as the possible involved signaling pathway. RT-PCR and western blot analysis revealed that CSE upregulated TRPM8 mRNA and protein level in 16HBE cells. Ca²⁺ imaging, western blot, and luciferase assay showed more robust increase in intracellular Ca²⁺ and promoted phosphorylated ERK, P38, and NF-?B activity, respectively, in 16HBE cells co-stimulated with CSE and cold temperature, and such alteration was attenuated by TRPM8 short hairpin RNA (shRNA) transfection and BCTC pretreatment. Furthermore, enhanced levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-? showed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were reduced by specific inhibitors of ERK and NF-?B. Collectively, our results suggest that mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/NF-?B signaling is involved in TRPM8-mediated cold temperature-induced inflammatory cytokine expression. In addition, CSE synergistically amplifies cold temperature-induced inflammatory factors release via upregulating TRPM8 expression and enhancing MAPK/NF-?B signaling pathway.

Project description:PURPOSE:Cold air is a major environmental factor that exacerbates asthma. Transient receptor potential melastatin family member 8 (TRPM8) is a cold-sensing channel expressed in the airway epithelium. However, its role in airway inflammation remains unknown. We investigated the role of TRPM8 in innate immune responses in bronchial epithelial cells and asthmatic subjects. METHODS:The TRPM8 mRNA and protein expression on BEAS2B human bronchial epithelial cells was examined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), immunofluorescence staining and western blotting. Additionally, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-13, IL-25 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) levels before and after menthol, dexamethasone and N-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-4-(3-chloropyridin-2-yl) piperazine-1-carboxamide (BCTC) treatments were measured via real-time PCR. TRPM8 protein levels in the supernatants of induced sputum from asthmatic subjects and normal control subjects were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and mRNA levels in sputum cell lysates were measured using real-time PCR. RESULTS:Treatment with up to 2 mM menthol dose-dependently increased TRPM8 mRNA and protein in BEAS2B cells compared to untreated cells (P < 0.001) and concomitantly increased IL-25 and TSLP mRNA (P < 0.05), but not IL-33 mRNA. BCTC (10 ?M) significantly abolished menthol-induced up-regulation of TRPM8 mRNA and protein and IL-25 and TSLP mRNA (P < 0.01). TRPM8 protein levels were higher in the supernatants of induced sputum from asthmatic subjects (n = 107) than in those from healthy controls (n = 19) (P < 0.001), and IL-25, TSLP and IL-33 mRNA levels were concomitantly increased (P < 0.001). Additionally, TRPM8 mRNA levels correlated strongly with those of IL-25 and TSLP (P < 0.001), and TRPM8 protein levels were significantly higher in bronchodilator-responsive asthmatic subjects than in nonresponders. CONCLUSIONS:TRPM8 may be involved in the airway epithelial cell innate immune response and a molecular target for the treatment of asthma.
