Venom Peptide Toxins Targeting the Outer Pore Region of Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 in Pain: Implications for Analgesic Drug Development

The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) ion channel plays an important role in the peripheral nociceptive pathway. TRPV1 is a polymodal receptor that can be activated by multiple types of ligands and painful stimuli, such as noxious heat and protons, and contributes to various acute and chronic pain conditions. Therefore, TRPV1 is emerging as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of various pain conditions. Notably, various peptides isolated from venomous animals potently and selectively control the activation and inhibition of TRPV1 by binding to its outer pore region. This review will focus on the mechanisms by which venom-derived peptides interact with this portion of TRPV1 to control receptor functions and how these mechanisms can drive the development of new types of analgesics.

Multiplexed-Based Assessment of DNA Damage Response to Chemotherapies Using Cell Imaging Cytometry

The current methods for measuring the DNA damage response (DDR) are relatively labor-intensive and usually based on Western blotting, flow cytometry, and/or confocal immunofluorescence analyses. They require many cells and are often limited to the assessment of a single or few proteins. Here, we used the Celigo^® image cytometer to evaluate the cell response to DNA-damaging agents based on a panel of biomarkers associated with the main DDR signaling pathways. We investigated the cytostatic or/and the cytotoxic effects of these drugs using simultaneous propidium iodide and calcein-AM staining. We also describe new dedicated multiplexed protocols to investigate the qualitative (phosphorylation) or the quantitative changes of eleven DDR markers (H2AX, DNA-PKcs, ATR, ATM, CHK1, CHK2, 53BP1, NBS1, RAD51, P53, P21). The results of our study clearly show the advantage of using this methodology because the multiplexed-based evaluation of these markers can be performed in a single experiment using the standard 384-well plate format. The analyses of multiple DDR markers together with the cell cycle status provide valuable insights into the mechanism of action of investigational drugs that induce DNA damage in a time- and cost-effective manner due to the low amounts of antibodies and reagents required.

Recombination luminescence from defects in boron-ion implantation-doped diamond using low fluences

 Two identical, high purity, natural type IIa diamonds, which displayed the ubiquitous blue cathodoluminescence (CL) band at ≈ 2.9 eV, as well as an indication of the corresponding green band at ≈ 2.4 eV, have been equivalently doped by using extremely low dose B⁺- and C⁺-ion CIRA-implantations respectively. Comparative CL measurements showed changes in the intensities of the 2.9 and 2.4 eV bands and the generation of bands at ≈ 4 eV, as well as at ≈ 3.5 and ≈ 4.6 eV (the latter two in the B⁺-CIRA diamond). The results are commensurate with the model (proposed previously) in which the 2.9 and 4 eV bands are generated respectively by electron-hole recombinations at negatively charged acceptor- and positively charged donor-like, intrinsic defects. The present results indicate that Coulomb interactions between the latter defects and (at least partially) compensated, negatively charged, boron acceptors, generate the 3.5 and 4.6 eV bands, which may be considered as higher energy (≈ 0.6 eV) replicas of the 2.9 and 4 eV bands. In both cases, two electrons and a hole interact just before the hole combines with an electron. Such a configuration of charges seems related to, and could possibly be described as, a type of ”ionised exciton molecule”, where the ”bonding” of two negative ”nuclei” is facilitated by the presence of the hole. The CL measurements further indicate that the 2.4 eV band forms when a high enough density of, in this case, neutral acceptors are present. These neutral acceptors compete with the valence band to supply holes for recombination at the negatively charged, acceptor-type, intrinsic defects which are, in the absence of the boron, responsible for the generation of the blue, 2.9 eV band.
