Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a heterogeneous tumor intimately linked to its microenvironment, which promotes its growth and spread. It is generally accompanied by cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP), whose main component is neuropathic pain. The TRPA1 ion channel plays a key role in metastasis and is increasingly expressed in bone cancer. Here, a novel TRPA1 inhibitor is described and tested together with two other known TRPA1 antagonists. The novel lipoyl derivative has been successfully assessed for its ability to reduce human osteosarcoma MG-63 cell viability, motility, and gene expression of the CIBP pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). A putative three-dimensional (3D) model of the inhibitor covalently bound to TRPA1 is also proposed. The in vitro data suggest that the novel inhibitor described here may be highly interesting and stimulating for new strategies to treat osteosarcomas.
