Lack of inhibitory effect of PHL-B on TRPV1, TRPV4, and TRPM8 channels. (A, C, E) Concentration-dependent relationships of PHL-B on TRPV1, TRPV4, and TRPM8 channels upon stimulation with capsaicin, HTS, and menthol, respectively. Capsazepine, HC-067047, and sesamin were used as reference inhibitors for TRPV1, TRPV4, and TRPM8 channels, respectively. (B, D, F) Plots of normalized fluorescence vs drug concentration at different time points for each channel, where the lack of effect of PHL-B can be clearly visualized. These data could not be fitted with a Hill equation; hence, the IC 50 values were not determined. Data are expressed as means ± SEM, N = 3–5 independent experiments.

FIGURE 6 TRPM8 is the principal determinant of rapamycin responses in mouse DRG neurons. (a) Representative traces of Fura2 ratio fluorescence in a Trpm8EGFPf/+ DRG culture. Consecutive applications of cold, rapamycin (RAP, 30 μM), menthol (100 μM), AITC (100 μM), capsaicin (100 nM) and high K+ (30 mM) were used to phenotype each neuron. The green trace corresponds to a EGFPf(+) neuron, which responds to cold, rapamycin, menthol and capsaicin. The other two traces (blue and red) correspond to EGFPf() neurons. Bottom trace shows the simultaneous recording of bath temperature. (b) Venn diagram summarizing the responses to rapamycin in EGFPf(+) and EGFPf() neurons in Trpm8EGFPf/+ DRG cultures. (c) Bar histograms of the amplitude of the responses to different agonists in EGFPf(+) rapamycin-sensitive neurons (n = 20, five experiments). Data shown are individual values with means ± SEM. *P<0.05, significantly different as indicated; one-way ANOVA for repeated measures followed by a Bonferroni's post-hoc test. (d) Correlation between the amplitude of the cold-evoked response and the rapamycin response (n = 20, six experiments). The horizontal dotted line marks the threshold level for rapamycin sensitivity. Green circles represent the three EGFPf(+), cold-sensitive, rapamycin-insensitive neurons recorded. (e) Representative traces of Fura2 ratios in cultured neurons from Trpm8 KO mouse. The protocol was the same as in (a). Orange trace corresponds to a EGFPf(+) neuron that was rapamycin- sensitive.

FIGURE 7 Rapamycin (RAP) increases the excitability of cold-sensitive DRG neurons. (a) Representative whole-cell recording in the voltage- clamp configuration (Vhold = 60 mV) of a TRPM8-expressing, cold-sensitive DRG neuron identified by EYFP expression. Bottom trace corresponds to the simultaneous recording of bath temperature. Rapamycin activates a small inward current and potentiates the response to cold. (b) Temperature dependence of the cold-evoked current in the same neuron in control conditions and in the presence of 30 μM rapamycin. (c) Bar histogram of peak inward current density values evoked by cold, rapamycin and cold in the presence of rapamycin (n = 12). Data shown are individual values with means ± SEM. #P<0.05, significantly different as indicated; one-way ANOVA for repeated measures followed by Bonferroni's post-hoc test. (d) Representative recording of a cold-sensitive neuron in the whole-cell current-clamp configuration. Cold and rapamycin elicited the firing of action potentials. The combined application of cold and rapamycin led to faster firing, followed by a strong depolarization and the blockade of spikes. (e) Bar histogram of responses, measured as average firing frequency, during the different stimuli applied (n = 11). Firing frequency for cold was the average from the first to the last spike during the cooling ramp. Firing frequency in control conditions was calculated during the 60 s previous to rapamycin application. Rapamycin-evoked firing was calculated from the first spike during rapamycin application to the start of the cold ramp. *P<0.05, significantly different from control, #P<0.05, significantly different as indicated; one- way ANOVA for repeated measures followed by Bonferroni's post-hoc test.

FIGURE 9 Mathematical modelling of the effects of rapamycin (RAP) on cold thermoreceptor activity. (a) Membrane potential (blue trace), temperature (red trace), and action potential firing frequency (blue dots), as a function of time. The green bar indicates the period of application of agonist (i.e. a change of -100 mV in V1/2 in this example). The red dots in the temperature trace indicate where the temperature threshold has been reached. The black dashed lines in the lower panel indicate the value of the average firing frequency, and the time range where it has been calculated (i.e. the duration of the temperature ramps). (b) Firing temperature threshold as a function of the shift in V1/2. Each trace corresponds to a cell with different parameters, which have been selected in order to encompass a wide range of thresholds under control conditions. The larger dot corresponds to the cell and conditions simulated in panel (a). (c) Same as in panel B for the average firing frequency during cold stimulation. (d) TRPM8 current density (blue trace) as a function of time, and changes in temperature (red trace) in voltage-clamp simulations. The green horizontal bar represents the application of agonist, i.e. a shift of -100 mV in V1/2 as in (a). (e) TRPM8 current density as a function of temperature with (green trace) or without agonist (blue trace). (f) Peak cold-evoked current as a function of the shift in V1/2 for the same cells as shown above with the corresponding colours. Values for V1/2 = 0 correspond to the cold-evoked current in the absence of agonist. The magenta line corresponds to a neuron with very small TRPM8 currents that did not fire action potentials and thus is not shown in the current-clamp panels above. Color code is the same for panels b, c, e and f. The set numbers in panel f correspond to the row numbers within the table found in Extended Data Figure 11-1 of Rivera et al. (2021), detailing the simulation parameter values.
