Objective To explore the role of transient receptor potential melastatin 8 cation channels(TRPM8) in cold-induced production of inflammatory factors in airway epithelial cells and related signal transduction mechanism. Methods The 16HBE human airway epithelial cells were stimulated with cold temperature (18 ℃). In intervention experiments, cells were pretreated with TRPM8 channel antagonist BCTC, protein kinase C (PKC) specific inhibitor calphostin C and transfected with TRPM8 shRNA or control shRNA respectively, and thereafter cold stimulation was applied. Ceils were divided into 6 groups : a control group ( incubated at 37 22 ) , a cold stimulation group, a cold stimulation + BCTC group, a cold stimulation + TRPM8 shRNA group, a cold stimulation + control shRNA group, a cold stimulation + calphostin C group. Western blot was performed to show the extent of knockdown in TRPM8 protein expression in the TRPM8 shRNA transfected cells. Dynamics of relative concentration of intracellular Ca^2+ in the former 5 groups were measured by calcium imaging techniques. Images were taken at one frame per 10 seconds. The levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α mRNA and protein were detected by real-time PCR and ELISA respectively. Results The highest relative concentration of intracellular calcium in cold stimulation group (2. 36 + O. 24) was higher than that of control group ( 1.01 ±0. 02) (t = 12. 52, P 〈 0. 01 ). BCTC and TRPM8 shRNA reduced intracellular calcium ( 1.05 ±0. 09, 1.08 -0. 09), compared with single cold stimulation group(t =6. 69 and 9. 12 , all P 〈0. 01 ). IL-6,IL-8, TNF-α mRNA and protein in cold stimulation group[0. 66 ±0. 16,0. 77 ±0. 15,0. 73 ±0. 09 and(92 ±13) ng/L, (125 ±22 )ng/L, (88 ±12)ng/L ] were significantly higher than those in control group [ 0. 37 ± 0.08,0.32 ±0.07,0.48 ±0. 10 and(52 ±8) ng/L, (50 ±9) ng/L, (61 ±8)ng/L] (t =3.20 -6.26, all P 〈 0.05 ). IL-6 mRNA, IL-8 mRNA, TNF-α mRNA and protein in cold stimulation + BCTC group [0. 42 ±0. 09,0. 52 ±0. 13,0. 52 ±0. 12 and(72 ±8) ng/L, (92 ±14) ng/L, (68 ±11) ng/L], cold stimulation + TRPM8 shRNA group [ 0. 41 ±0. 10,0. 49 ±0. 08,0. 50 ±0. 08 and (60 ±12) ng/L, ( 89 + 14) ng/L, ( 68 + 11 ) ng/L ] and cold stimulation + calphostin C group [ 0. 40 ±0. 07,0. 44 ±0. 09,0.47 ±0. 08 and (69 ±9) ng/L, ( 86 ±15 ) ng/L, ( 61 ±10) ng/L ] were significantly lower than those in cold stimulation group(t =2.47 -4. 21, all P 〈0. 05). IL-6 mRNA,IL-8 mRNA,TNF-α mRNA and protein in cold stimulation + control shRNA group [0. 61 ±0. 10,0. 69 ±0. 11,0. 64 ±0. 13 and(89 ±13) ng/L, (118 ±20)ng/L, (79 + 13 )ng/L] showed no significant change, compared with cold stimulation group (t = 0. 35 - 1.12, all P 〉 0. 05 ). Conclusion Cold temperature may induce Ca^2+ influx and up-regulate IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α expression in 16HBE cells by activating the TRPM8 ion channels, and this is via a signaling pathway involving PKC.
