| Description: |
The burden of cancer is growing in almost every country. Bone metastases significantly affect the prognosis and lead to an increase in mortality and morbidity. The management of cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) still shows various unmet needs. Opioid use is burdened by a number of possible side effects. Moreover, recent progresses in cancer treatment significantly increased the life expectancy of cancer patients, even those with metastatic disease. In this narrative review, we reported the main findings regarding TRP channel function in cancer pain models. TRP cation channels play a key role in different functions of cancer cells, including the regulation of their potential for metastasization, and are the main channels involved in the pathways of pain perception, through peripheral and central effects. Genetic deletion decreased pain sensitivity following tumour cell inoculation. Preclinical data suggest a potential role for modulators of some TRP channels, such as TRPV1, TRPA1, TRPM7 and TRPM8. Clinical results are still scarce; however, the physiological role in modulating bone remodelling and the involvement of TRP channels in preclinical models of bone cancer pain have garnered interest as areas of research in the last few years, as innovative analgesic strategies that may overcome the long-term side effects of opioids. |
