摘要

Asthma is an inflammatory condition of the airways triggered by exposure to allergens and/or irritants. TRPA1is an irritant-sensing cation channel expressed in TRPV1-positive, capsaicin-sensitive chemosensory neurons thatinnervate various organs, including the airways. Various exogenous noxious chemicals have been described to activateTRPA1, including agents recognized to trigger and/or worsen asthma such as diisocyantes, cigarette smoke, acrolein,chlorine. During oxidative stress, a condition associated with asthma, various chemical species capable of activatingTRPA1 are generated in the lungs, including reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and severalbyproducts of lipid peroxidation including nitrooleic acid and 4-hydroxynonenal. Recently, a potential role of TRPA1 inmediating allergen-induced asthmatic responses has been described in ovalbumin-sensitized mice, in which geneticdeletion of TRPA1 or pretreatment with a selective TRPA1 antagonist reduced leukocyte infiltration, decreased cytokineand mucus production and almost completely abolished airway hyperreactivity without affecting the immune responsedriven by the allergen. Moreover, two recent studies have provided strong pharmacological evidence that inhalation ofTRPA1 activators, like acrolein or cinnamaldehyde, elicits cough reflexes in guinea-pigs and human volunteers. Inconclusion, a compelling series of recent findings highlights the TRPA1 channel as a molecular target for a wide varietyof known exogenous and endogenous inflammatory and irritating chemical agents, and suggests that TRPA1 antagonistsmight be taken into consideration as a novel pharmacological treatment of asthma, chronic cough and possibly otherinflammatory conditions of the airways.
