In the present study, we cloned a porcine orthologue of transient receptor potential V1 (pTRPV1) and heterologously expressed it in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells to characterize its pharmacological properties. At the amino acid level, pTRPV1 was highly homologous (83-90%) to other orthologues of TRPV1. The expression of receptors was examined with current and [Ca2+]i responses to capsaicin using whole-cell patch-clamp and fura-2 ratio imaging techniques, respectively, and by immunostaining with an anti-TRPV1 antibody. The receptors were characterized by changes in [Ca2+]i in response to various vanilloid agonists, low pH and heat and by the effects of TRPV1 antagonists on them. The various TRPV1 agonists activated pTRPV1 in a dose-dependent manner in the order of potency of resiniferatoxin (RTX) > olvanil > capsaicin > phorbol 12-phenylacetate 13-acetate 20-homovanillate (PPAHV), phorbol 12,13-dinonanoate 20-homovanillate (PDNHV). Isovelleral and scutigeral had no effect. Endogenous vanilloids (anandamide > 15 (s)-HPETE > NADA), low pH and noxious heat (>42 degrees C) activated pTRPV1. Comparison of amino acid sequences with various mammalian TRPV1 homologues suggested some novel putative vanilloid recognition sites. TRPV1 antagonists, iodoRTX, ruthenium red and capsazepine suppressed capsaicin-induced responses. Similar to human TRPV1, but not rodent TRPV1, capsazepine was effective in blocking pH- and heat-induced responses. Similar pharmacological profiles were observed in cultured porcine dorsal root ganglion neurons. We discuss putative amino acid residues related to pharmacological differences among mammalian TRPV1 homologues. 相似文献

A full pharmacological characterisation of the recently cloned human vanilloid VR1 receptor was undertaken. In whole-cell patch clamp studies, capsaicin (10 microM) elicited a slowly activating/deactivating inward current in human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells stably expressing human vanilloid VR1 receptor, which exhibited pronounced outward rectification (reversal potential -2.1+/-0.2 mV) and was abolished by capsazepine (10 microM). In FLIPR-based Ca(2+) imaging studies the rank order of potency was resiniferatoxin>olvanil>capsaicin>anandamide, and all were full agonists. Isovelleral and scutigeral were inactive (1 nM-30 microM). The potencies of capsaicin, olvanil and resiniferatoxin, but not anandamide, were enhanced 2- to 7-fold at pH 6.4. Capsazepine, isovelleral and ruthenium red inhibited the capsaicin (100 nM)-induced Ca(2+) response (pK(B)=6.58+/-0.02, 5.33+/-0.03 and 7.64+/-0.03, respectively). In conclusion, the recombinant human vanilloid VR1 receptor stably expressed in HEK293 cells acted as a ligand-gated, Ca(2+)-permeable channel with similar agonist and antagonist pharmacology to rat vanilloid VR1 receptor, although there were some subtle differences. 相似文献

Background and PurposeRetinoids, through their activation of retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptors, regulate diverse cellular processes, and pharmacological intervention in their actions has been successful in the treatment of skin disorders and cancers. Despite the many beneficial effects, administration of retinoids causes irritating side effects with unknown mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate that LE135 [4-(7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-5,7,7,10,10-pentamethyl-5H-benzo[e]naphtho[2,3-b][1,4]diazepin-13-yl)benzoic acid], a selective antagonist of RARβ, is a potent activator of the capsaicin (TRPV1) and wasabi (TRPA1) receptors, two critical pain-initiating cation channels.Experimental ApproachWe performed to investigate the excitatory effects of LE135 on TRPV1 and TRPA1 channels expressed in HEK293T cells and in dorsal root ganglia neurons with calcium imaging and patch-clamp recordings. We also used site-directed mutagenesis of the channels to determine the structural basis of LE135-induced activation of TRPV1 and TRPA1 channels and behavioural testing to examine if pharmacological inhibition and genetic deletion of the channels affected LE135-evoked pain-related behaviours.Key ResultsLE135 activated both the capsaicin receptor (TRPV1) and the allyl isothiocyanate receptor (TRPA1) heterologously expressed in HEK293T cells and endogenously expressed by sensory nociceptors. Mutations disrupting the capsaicin-binding site attenuated LE135 activation of TRPV1 channels and a single mutation (K170R) eliminated TRPA1 activity evoked by LE135. Intraplantar injection of LE135 evoked pain-related behaviours. Both TRPV1 and TRPA1 channels were involved in LE135-elicited pain-related responses, as shown by pharmacological and genetic ablation studies.Conclusions and ImplicationsThis blocker of retinoid acid signalling also exerted non-genomic effects through activating the pain-initiating TRPV1 and TRPA1 channels. 相似文献

The vanilloid receptor (VR1) is a ligand-gated ion channel, which plays an important role in nociceptive processing. Therefore, a pharmacological characterization of the recently cloned rat VR1 (rVR1) was undertaken. HEK293 cells stable expressing rVR1 (rVR1-HEK293) were loaded with Fluo-3AM and then incubated at 25 degrees C for 30 min with or without various antagonists or signal transduction modifying agents. Then intracellular calcium concentrations ([Ca(2+)](i)) were monitored using FLIPR, before and after the addition of various agonists. The rank order of potency of agonists (resiniferatoxin (RTX)>capsaicin>olvanil>PPAHV) was as expected, and all were full agonists. The potencies of capsaicin and olvanil, but not RTX or PPAHV, were enhanced at pH 6.4 (pEC(50) values of 7.47+/-0.06, 7.16+/-0.06, 8.19+/-0.06 and 6.02+/-0.03 respectively at pH 7.4 vs 7.71+/-0.05, 7.58+/-0.14, 8.10+/-0.05 and 6.04+/-0.08 at pH 6.4). Capsazepine, isovelleral and ruthenium red all inhibited the capsaicin (100 nM)-induced Ca(2+) response in rVR1-HEK293 cells, with pK(B) values of 7.52+/-0.08, 6.92+/-0.11 and 8.09+/-0.12 respectively (n=6 each). The response to RTX and olvanil were also inhibited by these compounds. None displayed any agonist-like activity. The removal of extracellular Ca(2+) abolished, whilst inhibition of protein kinase C with chelerythrine chloride (10 microM) partially (approximately 20%) inhibited, the capsaicin (10 microM)-induced Ca(2+) response. However, tetrodotoxin (3 microM), nimodipine (10 microM), omega-GVIA conotoxin (1 microM), thapsigargin (1 microM), U73122 (3 microM) or H-89 (3 microM) had no effect on the capsaicin (100 nM)-induced response. In conclusion, the recombinant rVR1 stably expressed in HEK293 cells acts as a ligand-gated Ca(2+) channel with the appropriate agonist and antagonist pharmacology, and therefore is a suitable model for studying the effects of drugs at this receptor. 相似文献

Linopirdine is a well known blocker of voltage-gated potassium channels from the Kv7 (or KCNQ) family that generate the so called M current in mammalian neurons. Kv7 subunits are also expressed in pain-sensing neurons in dorsal root ganglia, in which they modulate neuronal excitability. In this study we demonstrate that linopirdine acts as an agonist of TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1), another ion channel expressed in nociceptors and involved in pain signaling. Linopirdine induces increases in intracellular calcium concentration in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells expressing TRPV1, but not TRPA1 and TRPM8 or in wild-type HEK293 cells. Linopirdine also activates an inward current in TRPV1-expressing HEK293 cells that is almost completely blocked by the selective TRPV1 antagonist capsazepine. At low concentrations linopirdine sensitizes both recombinant and native TRPV1 channels to heat, in a manner that is not prevented by the Kv7-channel opener flupirtine. Taken together, these results indicate that linopirdine exerts an excitatory action on mammalian nociceptors not only through inhibition of the M current but also through activation of the capsaicin receptor TRPV1. 相似文献

Neurogenic components play a crucial role in inflammation and nociception. Mustard oil (MO) is a pungent plant extract from mustard seed, horseradish and wasabi, the main constituent of which is allylisothiocyanate. We have characterized the action of MO on transient receptor potential V1 (TRPV1), a key receptor of signal transduction pathways in the nociceptive system, using fura-2-based [Ca(2+)](i) imaging and the patch-clamp technique in a heterologous expression system and sensory neurons. In human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells expressing porcine TRPV1 (pTRPV1), MO evoked increases of [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner. A high concentration of MO elicited irreversible cell swelling. Capsazepine, ruthenium red and iodoresiniferatoxin dose-dependently suppressed the MO-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increase. MO elicited outward rectified currents in pTRPV1-expressing HEK 293 cells with a reversal potential similar to that of capsaicin. [Ca(2+)](i) responses to MO were completely abolished by the removal of external Ca(2+). MO simultaneously elicited an inward current and increase of [Ca(2+)](i) in the same cells, indicating that MO promoted Ca(2+) influx through TRPV1 channels. In cultured porcine dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, MO elicited a [Ca(2+)](i) increase and inward current. Among DRG neurons responding to MO, 85% were also sensitive to capsaicin. The present data indicate that MO is a novel agonist of TRPV1 channels, and suggest that the action of MO in vivo may be partly mediated via TRPV1. These results provide an insight into the TRPV1-mediated effects of MO on inflammation and hyperalgesia. 相似文献

TRPV1 activation and induction of nociceptive response by a non-pungent capsaicin-like compound,capsiate 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Capsiate is a capsaicin-like ingredient of a non-pungent cultivar of red pepper, CH-19 sweet. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the non-pungency of capsiate, we investigated whether capsiate activates the cloned capsaicin receptor, TRPV1 (VR1). In patch-clamp experiments, capsiate was found to activate TRPV1 expressed transiently in HEK293 cells with a similar potency as capsaicin. Capsiate induced nociceptive responses in mice when injected subcutaneously into their hindpaws with a similar dose dependency as capsaicin. These data indicate that the non-pungent capsiate is an agonist for TRPV1 and could excite peripheral nociceptors. In contrast to this, capsiate did not induce any significant responses when applied to the skin surface, eye or oral cavity of mice, suggesting that capsiate requires direct access to nerve endings to exhibit its effects. Capsiate was proved to have high lipophilicity and to be easily broken down in normal aqueous conditions, leading to less accessibility to nociceptors. Another highly lipophilic capsaicin analogue, olvanil, was similar to capsiate in that it did not produce irritant responses when applied to the skin surface, although it could activate TRPV1. Taken together, high lipophilicity and instability might be critical determinants for pungency and so help in understanding the effects of capsaicin-related compounds. 相似文献

TRPV1 is a non-selective cationic channel that is activated by capsaicin, acidic pH and thermal stimuli. Sustained TRPV1 channel activation causes severe cytotoxicity that leads to cell death. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms of capsaicin-induced cytotoxicity in HEK293 cells stably expressing TRPV1 with a focus on protein synthesis regulation and cytoskeleton reorganization. Capsaicin inhibited protein synthesis in TRPV1-expressing HEK cells with an IC(50) of 15.6nM and depolymerized microtubules within 10min after exposure. These effects were completely blocked by pretreatment of cells with the TRPV1 antagonist A-425619, both in the presence and absence of extracellular calcium. Protein synthesis inhibition induced by capsaicin was not a result of eIF2alpha hyperphosphorylation, but rather closely correlated with cytosolic calcium elevation caused by calcium flux through cell surface and intracellular TRPV1, and/or ER calcium depletion through intracellular TRPV1. Microtubule dependent cell process shrinkage may serve as a mechanism for rapid alteration of the neurotransmission network upon TRPV1 activation. Taken together, the present studies demonstrate that intracellular pool of TRPV1 plays an important role in regulating cell morphology and viability upon receptor activation. 相似文献

1 Noladin ether has recently been reported to be an endocannabinoid, with selectivity for the cannabinoid (CB) CB1 receptor. In the present study, we investigated the effects of noladin ether in the rat isolated mesenteric arterial bed, cultured dorsal root ganglia (DRG) cells and human vanilloid (TRPV1)-receptor-expressing HEK293 cells (TRPV1-HEK293 cells). 2 Electrical field stimulation of the mesenteric bed evoked frequency-dependent vasorelaxation due to the action of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) released from sensory nerves. Noladin ether (0.1-3 microm) attenuated sensory neurogenic relaxation in a concentration-dependent manner. Noladin ether (1 microm) reduced vasorelaxation at a submaximal frequency (8 Hz), from 57.3+/-6.8 to 23.3+/-3.8% (P<0.05, n=4). 3 The inhibitory effects of noladin ether were unaffected by the CB1 antagonists SR141716A and LY320135, and the CB2 antagonist SR144528 (1 microm). 4 Noladin ether had no effect on vasorelaxation elicited by exogenous CGRP or capsaicin. These data suggest that noladin ether is acting at a prejunctional site and no interaction with TRPV1 is involved. 5 In mesenteric beds from pertussis toxin (PTX)-pretreated rats, the inhibitory actions of noladin ether on sensory neurotransmission were abolished, indicating the involvement of G(i/o) protein-coupled receptors. 6 Noladin ether evoked a concentration-dependent increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration in TRPV1-HEK293 cells at 10 microm (36.5+/-3.2% of maximal capsaicin-induced response), but it was a less potent agonist than both capsaicin and anandamide and at 1 microm it was essentially inactive. Noladin ether (1 microm) had no effect on capsaicin-evoked Ca2+ responses in DRG cells, and produced no response alone, indicating it neither modulates nor acts directly on TRPV1 receptors. 7 These data demonstrate that noladin ether attenuates sensory neurotransmission in rat mesenteric arteries via a non-CB1 non-CB2 PTX-sensitive prejunctional site, independently of TRPV1 receptors. 相似文献

Modulation of human TRPV1 receptor activity by extracellular protons and host cell expression system
Bianchi BR Lee CH Jarvis MF El Kouhen R Moreland RB Faltynek CR Puttfarcken PS 《European journal of pharmacology》2006,537(1-3):20-30
The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptor is a ligand-gated cation channel that can be activated by capsaicin, heat, protons and cytosolic lipids. We compared activation of recombinant human TRPV1 receptors stably expressed in human 293 cells, derived from kidney embryonic cells, and in human 1321N1 cells, derived from brain astrocytes. Cellular influx of calcium was measured in response to acid, endovanilloids (N-arachidonoyl-dopamine, N-oleoyl-dopamine and anandamide), capsaicin and other traditional vanilloid agonists under normal (pH 7.4) and acidic (pH 6.7 and 6.0) assay conditions. The host cell expression system altered the agonist profile of endogenous TRPV1 receptor agonists without affecting the pharmacological profile of either exogenous TRPV1 receptor agonists or antagonists. Our data signify that the host cell expression system plays a modulatory role in TRPV1 receptor activity, and suggests that activation of native human TRPV1 receptors in vivo will be dependent on cell-specific regulatory factors/pathways. 相似文献

Abstract: Transient receptor potential vanilloid‐1 (TRPV1) has been implicated as a mediator of itch in allergic rhinitis. To address this possibility, we synthesized a TRPV1 blocker (SB‐705498) for nasal administration in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis. The pharmacological activity of SB‐705498 was confirmed on human TRPV1‐expressing HEK293 cells, using fluorometric calcium imaging, and in patients with allergic rhinitis subjected to nasal capsaicin challenges. The effect of SB‐705498 was studied in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis subjected to daily allergen challenges for 7 days, using a double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, randomized and cross‐over design. SB‐705498 was delivered by nasal lavage 2 min. before each allergen challenge. Primary end‐point was total nasal symptom score on days 5–7. Nasal peak inspiratory flow (nPIF) and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) content in nasal lavages were also monitored. Daily topical applications of SB‐705498 at a concentration that inhibited capsaicin‐induced nasal symptoms had no effect on total symptom score, nPIF and ECP levels in allergen‐challenged patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis. The individual symptoms, nasal itch or sneezes, were also not affected. These findings may indicate that TRPV1 is not a key mediator of the symptoms in allergic rhinitis. However, additional studies, using drug formulations with a prolonged duration of action, should be conducted before TRPV1 is ruled out as a drug target in allergic rhinitis. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Capsiate is produced by ‘CH-19 Sweet’ (Capsicum annuun L.), a non-pungent cultivar of red pepper. Like capsaicin, capsiate is thought to enhance energy metabolism by activating the sympathetic nervous system and suppressing inflammation, but the underlying mechanisms for this are uncertain. We previously reported that capsiate could activate transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), a capsaicin receptor. The purpose of the present study is to investigate whether capsinoids activate other TRP channels.EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH
Using Ca2+ imaging and whole-cell patch-clamp methods, we analysed the response of TRP channels to three kinds of capsinoids, capsiate, dihydrocapsiate and nordihydrocapsiate, in HEK293T cells expressing TRP channels or in primary cultures of mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons.KEY RESULTS
We found that in both cell types TRP ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) had a slightly weaker response to capsinoids compared with TRPV1, with the capsiate EC50 for TRPA1 activation being more than that for TRPV1 activation, and that the capsinoid-evoked action was blocked by a specific TRPA1 antagonist. TRPA1 was activated by capsinoids, but not by their degradation products. Amino acids known to participate in TRPA1 activation following cysteine covalent modification or zinc treatment were not involved in the activation of TRPA1 by capsinoid.CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS
Taken together, these results indicate that capsinoids activate TRPA1 by an as yet unknown mechanism, and TRPA1 could be involved in physiological phenomena associated with capsinoid treatment. 相似文献15.
AIM:To investigate the characterization of cAMP response mediated by α1-adrenoceptor (α1-AR) subtypes in HEK293 cells. METHODS:(1) Full-length cDNA encoding three α1-AR subtypes were transfected into HEK293 cells by the calcium phosphate precipitation method, respectively. (2) The densities of α1-AR subtypes expressed in HEK293 cells were measured by radioligand binding assay. (3)cAMP accumulation was measured by [^3H] adenine prelabeling method. RESULTS: (1)Activation of each of three subtypes resulted in an increase of cAMP accumulation in HEK293 cells in a dose-dependent manner, which was inhibited by selective α1-AR antagonist prazosin. (2) Comparing the pharmacological property, the maximal responses of α1A-AR to agonists were the most potent, while the sensitivity of α1-AR subtypes to norepinephrine(NE) was the highest. CONCLUSION: Each of three α1-AR subtypes can mediate cAMP accumulation in HEK293 cell line, and there are differences in pharmacological property. 相似文献

Thermosensitive transient receptor potential vanil oid 2(thermo TRPV2) is a nonselective Ca2+-permeable cation channel broadly expressed, and is implicated in the pathology of diseases such as diabetes and pancreatitis.However, the physiological and pharmacological functions of TRPV2 channels have not been extensively investigated because of the absence of specific modulators and the channel with high-threshold of heat activation. In this study, we report a pair of natural coumarin derivative enantiomers(+)-murraxocin(B304-1) and(+)-murraxocin(B304-2) from the root of Murrayaexoyica for their selective inhibition of TRPV2 channels expressed in HEK293 cells and native TRPV2 currents in differentiated brown adipocytes. Both B304-1 and B304-2 were identified from screening of TRPV2-overexpressing HEK-293 cells in calcium imaging and fluorescence assays. Wholecell patch clamp recordings confirmed the enantiomers B304-1 and B304-2 could selectively inhibit the agonist 2-APB-mediated activation of TRPV2 current with IC_(50) values of(34.2±7.8) μmol·L~(-1) and(3.7±0.7) μmol·L~(-1), respectively.Molecular docking and site-directed mutagenesis revealed a key residue I600 of TRPV2 is critical for the binding of the enantiomers. Furthermore, B304-1 and B304-2 significantly reversed TRPV2 agonist-induced inhibition of mouse brown adipocyte differentiation. Taken together,our identification of two natural coumarin enantiomers provides valuable tools and chemical leads for further elucidation of TRPV2 channel function, and pharmacological modulation of thermo TRPV2 in brown adipocytes may represent a new therapeutic strategy for treatment of energy imbalance or metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity. 相似文献

Apigenin, a plant-derived flavone, activates transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 cation channel
Ma X He D Ru X Chen Y Cai Y Bruce IC Xia Q Yao X Jin J 《British journal of pharmacology》2012,166(1):349-358
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is a Ca2+-permeable channel with multiple modes of activation. Apigenin is a plant-derived flavone, which has potential preventive effects on the development of cardiovascular disease. We set out to explore the effects of apigenin on TRPV4 channel activity and its role in vasodilatation.EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH
The effects of apigenin (0.01–30 µM) on TPRV4 channels were investigated in HEK293 cells over-expressing TRPV4, rat primary cultured mesenteric artery endothelial cells (MAECs) and isolated small mesenteric arterial segments using whole-cell patch clamp, fluorescent Ca2+ imaging, intracellular recording and pressure myography.KEY RESULTS
Whole-cell patch clamp and fluorescent Ca2+ imaging in HEK cells over-expressing TRPV4 showed that apigenin concentration-dependently stimulated the TRPV4-mediated cation current and Ca2+ influx. In MAECs, apigenin stimulated Ca2+ influx in a concentration-dependent manner. These increases in cation current and Ca2+ influx were markedly inhibited by TRPV4-specific blockers and siRNAs. Furthermore, pressure myography and intracellular recording in small third-order mesenteric arteries showed that apigenin dose-dependently evoked smooth muscle cell membrane hyperpolarization and subsequent vascular dilatation, which were significantly inhibited by TRPV4-specific blockers. TRPV4 blocker or charybdotoxin (200 nM) plus apamin (100 nM) diminished the apigenin-induced dilatation.CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS
This is the first study to demonstrate the selective stimulation of TRPV4 by apigenin. Apigenin was found to activate TRPV4 channels in a dose-dependent manner in HEK cells over-expressing TRPV4 and in native endothelial cells. In rat small mesenteric arteries, apigenin acts on TRPV4 in endothelial cells to induce EDHF-mediated vascular dilatation. 相似文献18.
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channels in cultured rat Sertoli cells regulate an acid sensing chloride channel 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Sertoli cells provide a controlled microenvironment for regulation and maintenance of spermatogenesis for which an acidic milieu is crucial for male fertility. Sertoli cells also contribute to protection of spermatogenetic cells. Here, we showed that TRPV1 is expressed in rat Sertoli cells and regulates an acid sensing Cl(-) channel (ASCC). The expression of TRPV1 in rat Sertoli cells was demonstrated by RT-PCR, immunostaining and calcium measurement experiments. ASCC activity was inhibited by capsaicin (IC(50)=214.3+/-1.6 nM), olvanil (IC(50)=400+/-1.7 pM) and resiniferatoxin (IC(50)=9.3+/-1.5 nM) but potentiated by capsazepine (EC(50)=5.3+/-1.3 microM) and ruthenium red (EC(50)=2.3+/-1.5 microM). In the human airway epithelial cell line Calu-3 in which ASCC can be detected but not TRPV1, capsaicin and capsazepine were without any effect. Finally the application of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen prevented the control of ASCC by TRPV1. Our study provides the first evidence for a regulation by TRPV1 of an acid sensing chloride channel in rat Sertoli cells. TRPV1 and ASCC may thus be considered as new potential physiological regulators of spermatogenesis and targets for pharmacological treatments of reproductive disorders as cryptorchidism, Sertoli cell tumors or torsion of the spermatic cord. 相似文献

The intense pain induced by scorpion sting is a frequent clinical manifestation. To date, there is no established protocol with significant efficacy to alleviate the pain induced by scorpion envenomation. One of the important reasons is that, little information on pain-inducing compound from scorpion venoms is available. Here, a pain-inducing peptide (BmP01) has been identified and characterized from the venoms of scorpion (Mesobuthus martensii). In an animal model, intraplantar injection of BmP01 in mouse hind paw showed significant acute pain in wild type (WT) mice but not in TRPV1 knock-out (TRPV1 KO) mice during 30 min recording. BmP01 evoked currents in WT dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons but had no effect on DRG neurons of TRPV1 KO mice. Furthermore, BmP01 evoked currents on TRPV1-expressed HEK293T cells, but not on HEK293T cells without TRPV1. These results suggest that (1) BmP01 is one of the pain-inducing agents in scorpion venoms; and (2) BmP01 induces pain by acting on TRPV1. To our knowledge, this is the first report about a scorpion toxin that produces pain by targeting TRPV1. Identification of a pain-inducing compound may facilitate treating pain induced by scorpion envenomation. 相似文献
