LID - 10.1538/expanim.23-0148 [doi] AB - Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), a ligand-gated cation channel, is a receptor for vanilloids on sensory neurons and is also activated by capsaicin, heat, protons, arachidonic acid metabolites, and inflammatory mediators on neuronal or non-neuronal cells. However, the role of the TRPV1 receptor in pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and its potential regulatory mechanisms in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation has yet to be entirely understood. To investigate the role and regulatory mechanism of the TRPV1 receptor in regulating LPS-induced inflammatory responses, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) harvested from wild-type (WT) and TRPV1 deficient (Trpv1(-/-)) mice were used as the cell model. In WT BMDMs, LPS induced an increase in the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1beta, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and nitric oxide, which were attenuated in Trpv1(-/-) BMDMs. Additionally, the phosphorylation of IkappaBalpha and mitogen-activated protein kinases, as well as the translocation of NF-kappaB and AP-1, were all decreased in LPS-treated Trpv1(-/-) BMDMs. Immunoprecipitation assay revealed that LPS treatment increased the formation of TRPV1-TLR4-CD14 complex in WT BMDMs. Genetic deletion of TRPV1 in BMDMs impaired the LPS-triggered immune-complex formation of TLR4, MyD88, and IRAK, all of which are essential regulators in LPS-induced activation of the TLR4 signaling pathway. Moreover, genetic deletion of TRPV1 prevented the LPS-induced lethality and pro-inflammatory production in mice. In conclusion, the TRPV1 receptor may positively regulate the LPS-mediated inflammatory responses in macrophages by increasing the interaction with the TLR4-CD14 complex and activating the downstream signaling cascade.
