Inhibition of Ca < sup > 2+ < /sup > -permeable TRPV3 and inflammatory cytokine release by honokiol and magnolol in human epidermal keratinocytes

Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2023 Nov 27;692:149332. doi: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2023.149332. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTransient receptor potential vanilloid-3 (TRPV3) ion channels are prominently expressed in keratinocytes, playing a vital role in skin functions. Honokiol and magnolol (H&M) the primary bioactive constituents in Magnolia officinalis extract, demonstrate anti-inflammatory and skin-protective properties. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism regarding their effect on Ca2+-permeable ion channels remain unclear. Our purpose in this study is to investigate the effect of H&M on TRPV3 and cytokine release in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs), including its gain-of-function (GOF) mutants (G573S and G573C) associated with Olmstead syndrome. We performed whole-cell patch-clamp, fura-2 spectrofluorimetry to investigate channels activity, CCK-8 assay to analyze cell death and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to assess the cytokine release from NHEKs. H&M inhibited the TRPV3 current (ITRPV3) and cytosolic calcium increase in NHEKs, HEK293T cells overexpressing hTRPV3 and its GOF mutants. Moreover, the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6 and -8) from keratinocytes stimulated by TRPV3 agonist was effectively suppressed by H&M. Our findings provide insights into the mechanism underlying the anti-inflammatory effects of H&M, highlighting their potential in treating skin diseases.PMID:38043155 | DOI:10.1016/j.bbrc.2023.149332
