- W2891947732 abstract "Ion channels are membrane protein complexes that underlie electrical excitability in cells, allowing ions to diffuse through cell membranes in a regulated fashion. They are essential for normal functioning of the neuromusculature and other tissues. Ion channels are also validated targets for many current anthelmintics, yet the properties of only a small subset of ion channels in parasitic helminths have been explored in any detail. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels comprise a widely diverse superfamily of ion channels with important roles in sensory signaling, regulation of ion homeostasis, organellar trafficking, and other functions. There are several subtypes of TRP channels, including TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels, both of which are involved in, among other functions, sensory, nociceptive, and inflammatory signaling in mammals. Several lines of evidence indicate that TRPA1-like channels in schistosomes exhibit pharmacological sensitivities that differ from their mammalian counterparts and that may signify unique physiological properties as well. Thus, in addition to responding to TRPA1 modulators, schistosome TRPA1-like channels also respond to compounds that in other organisms modulate TRPV1 channels. Notably, TRPV channel genes are not found in schistosome genomes. Here, we review the evidence leading to these conclusions and examine potential implications. We also discuss recent results showing that praziquantel, the current drug of choice against schistosomiasis, selectively targets host TRP channels in addition to its likely primary targets in the parasite. The results we discuss add weight to the notion that schistosome TRP channels are worthy of investigation as candidate therapeutic targets." @default.
