Outline of Final Research Achievements

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and electrophiles, known to exert stress on organisms, are emerging as mediators of cellular signals. Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) Ca2+-permeable cation channels are activated by various triggers from outside and inside the cell. We and others have revealed that multiple redox-sensitive TRPs sense ROS to induce diverse physiological/pathological responses, such as cell death, chemotaxis, and pain transduction. TRPs sense ROS/electrophiles either indirectly through second messengers or directly via oxidative modification of cysteine residues. In this project, I clarified roles of redox-sensitive TRPs in inflammation. In particular, TRPM2 turned out to be a key signal regulator for diverse inflammatory cellular responses. Also, TRPA1 showed a unique, high sensitivity to oxidants including O2. Understanding the physiological significance of redox-sensitive TRPs will lead us to consider these TRP channels as viable therapeutic targets.
