PG - 1234 LID - 10.3389/fphar.2018.01234 [doi] LID - 1234 AB - In human uveal melanoma (UM), tumor enlargement is associated with increases in aqueous humor vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) content that induce neovascularization. 3-Iodothyronamine (3-T(1)AM), an endogenous thyroid hormone metabolite, activates TRP melastatin 8 (TRPM8), which blunts TRP vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) activation by capsaicin (CAP) in human corneal, conjunctival epithelial cells, and stromal cells. We compare here the effects of TRPM8 activation on VEGF-induced transactivation of TRPV1 in an UM cell line (92.1) with those in normal primary porcine melanocytes (PM) since TRPM8 is upregulated in melanoma. Fluorescence Ca(2+)-imaging and planar patch-clamping characterized functional channel activities. CAP (20 muM) induced Ca(2+) transients and increased whole-cell currents in both the UM cell line and PM whereas TRPM8 agonists, 100 muM menthol and 20 muM icilin, blunted such responses in the UM cells. VEGF (10 ng/ml) elicited Ca(2+) transients and augmented whole-cell currents, which were blocked by capsazepine (CPZ; 20 muM) but not by a highly selective TRPM8 blocker, AMTB (20 muM). The VEGF-induced current increases were not augmented by CAP. Both 3-T(1)AM (1 muM) and menthol (100 muM) increased the whole-cell currents, whereas 20 muM AMTB blocked them. 3-T(1)AM exposure suppressed both VEGF-induced Ca(2+) transients and increases in underlying whole-cell currents. Taken together, functional TRPM8 upregulation in UM 92.1 cells suggests that TRPM8 is a potential drug target for suppressing VEGF induced increases in neovascularization and UM tumor growth since TRPM8 activation blocked VEGF transactivation of TRPV1.
