Role of thermosensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in thermal preference of male and female mice
Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) ion channels are important for sensing environmental temperature. In rodents, TRPV4 senses warmth (25-34 °C), TRPV1 senses heat (>42 °C), TRPA1 putatively senses cold (<17 °C), and TRPM8 senses cool-cold (18-26 °C). We investigated if knockout (KO) mice lacking these TRP channels exhibited changes in thermal preference. Thermal preference was tested using a dual hot-cold plate with one thermoelectric surface set at 30 °C and the adjacent surface at a temperature of 15–45 °C in 5 °C increments. Blinded observers counted the number of times mice crossed through an opening between plates and the percentage of time spent on the 30 °C plate. In a separate experiment, observers blinded as to genotype also assessed the temperature at the location on a thermal gradient (1.83 m, 4-50 °C) occupied by the mouse at 5- or 10-min intervals over 2 h. Male and female wildtype mice preferred 30 °C and significantly avoided colder (15–20 °C) and hotter (40–45 °C) temperatures. Male TRPV1KOs and TRPA1KOs, and TRPV4KOs of both sexes, were similar, while female WTs, TRPV1KOs, TRPA1KOs and TRPM8KOs did not show significant thermal preferences across the temperature range. Male and female TRPM8KOs did not significantly avoid the coldest temperatures. Male mice (except for TRPM8KOs) exhibited significantly fewer plate crossings at hot and cold temperatures and more crossings at thermoneutral temperatures, while females exhibited a similar but non-significant trend. Occupancy temperatures along the thermal gradient exhibited a broad distribution that shrank somewhat over time. Mean occupancy temperatures (recorded at 90–120 min) were significantly higher for females (30–34 °C) compared to males (26–27 °C) of all genotypes, except for TRPA1KOs which exhibited no sex difference. The results indicate (1) sex differences with females (except TRPA1KOs) preferring warmer temperatures, (2) reduced thermosensitivity in female TRPV1KOs, and (3) reduced sensitivity to cold and innocuous warmth in male and female TRPM8KOs consistent with previous studies.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Thermal Biology publishes articles that advance our knowledge on the ways and mechanisms through which temperature affects man and animals. This includes studies of their responses to these effects and on the ecological consequences. Directly relevant to this theme are:
• The mechanisms of thermal limitation, heat and cold injury, and the resistance of organisms to extremes of temperature
• The mechanisms involved in acclimation, acclimatization and evolutionary adaptation to temperature
• Mechanisms underlying the patterns of hibernation, torpor, dormancy, aestivation and diapause
• Effects of temperature on reproduction and development, growth, ageing and life-span
• Studies on modelling heat transfer between organisms and their environment
• The contributions of temperature to effects of climate change on animal species and man
