  1. more on LDN:

    "The hypothesis may be broadened further in full consideration of work by Marshall-Gradisnik and colleagues [20]. They report that LDN restores function for one class of impaired calcium channels from the transient receptor potential (TRP) family
    [21]. The specific channel (TRPM3) is
    expressed on immune cells, which were isolated from ME patients to show in vitro dysfunction with rescue by LDN. On the surface, this heat-sensitive calcium channel appears unrelated to
    microbiome-driven pathology in ME. However, a recent study reports that LPS activates several TRP channels, including TRPM3 [22] . As such, the bacterial microbiome conceivably plays an (as yet unelucidated) role in driving TRPM3 channelopathy seen in ME"

    microbiome-driven pathology through its effects on bacterial pathogen-associated
    molecular pattern (PAMP) receptor pathways' [preprint]

    quote from article:
    "Notably, 10 of the 19 individuals who reported that they were pregnant when exposed [to tear gas] reported a subsequent miscarriage — that’s about twice the expected rate of miscarriage. "

    tear gas (2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile [CS]) targets TRPA1

    pepper spray (oleoresin capsicum [OC], capsaicin) targets TRPV1

    "CS exposure induced strong tissue swelling, plasma extravasation, and a dramatic increase in inflammatory cytokine levels in the mouse ear skin. We also showed that the effects of CS were not transient but caused persistent skin injuries. These injury parameters were reduced with TRPA1 inhibitor treatment. Further, we tested the pharmacologic activity of advanced TRPA1 antagonists in vitro. Our findings showed that TRPA1 is a crucial mediator of CS-induced nociception and tissue injury and that TRPA1 inhibitors are effective countermeasures that reduce key injury parameters when administered after exposure.

  4. Study offers a potential pathway for safer, non-addictive pain management

    news-medical.net/news/20241211

    "The study showed that when D₂O passed through the TRPV1 channel, it suppressed pain signal transmission and achieved effective analgesia."

    They studied both human cells in vitro and mice. This is good since another study found that D2O activated sweet taste receptors in humans, but not in mice -

  14. Today's reading topic to distract/entertain/self-soothe -

    Would messing with ankyrin mess up both Piezo and TRP channel function? What would be the implications for immune function?

    articles to read:

    Human ankyrins and their contribution to disease biology: An update
    ias.ac.in/article/fulltext/jbs

    Actin dynamics as critical ion channel regulator: ENaC and Piezo in focus
    doi.org/10.1152/ajpcell.00368.

    Immunoregulatory Role of the Mechanosensitive Ion Channel Piezo1 in Inflammation and Cancer
    ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/

    Roles of TRP and PIEZO receptors in autoimmune diseases
    ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/

    okay, that should be enough

    also an hour of body scan meditation
    & some Perilla tea

  15. CW: Erythromelalgia, pain, SCN9A / Nav1.7

    I should probably mention that like the woman in 1st case report, I also have MCAS symptoms, as well as other pain and paresthesia in my hands and elsewhere. I had a colonoscopy a few months after this started and for the prep I ate mostly just white rice and tapioca - no fruit or veg. I felt much, much better on the colonoscopy prep diet. Since then my diet has become quite restricted as I noticed more pain when I ate cruciferous veg, alliums, legumes - lots of stuff.

    So it is possible some of my erythromelalgia symptom improvement is due to having a limited diet - which is probably not so great for long term health overall.

    I have wondered if there is TRP channel involvement since isothiocyanates and other food components can activate TRP channels, as can heat exposure.

    Then there is the possibility of a connection to mast cells to consider.

  16. CW: PHYSIOLOGY SHORTS: Antagonism of TRPV4 channels reduces mechanotransduction in rat skeletal muscle

    "A mechanical stimulus to skeletal muscle activates the sympathetic nervous system during exercise. ... Our data suggests that TRPV4 plays an important role in mechanotransduction contributing to the cardiovascular responses during exercise. "
