P物质对大鼠三叉神经节神经元H+-门控电流的调制

目的 探讨P物质(SP)对大鼠三叉神经节(TG)神经元膜H+-门控电流的调制作用及其机制.方法 急性分离TG神经元,通过排管快速换液装置行胞外给药,电极内灌药行胞内透析后,采用全细胞膜片钳技术记录神经元膜H+-门控电流.结果 依照我们在背根神经节(DRG)神经元分类的方式,同样可将TG神经元H+-门控电流也分为四型,即T-型、S-型、B-型、O-型;共加SP和H+能浓度依赖性增强S-型H+-门控电流,SP受体拮抗剂GR82334不能阻断此作用;共加SP和H+能增强B-型H+-门控电流,GR82334和胞内透析GDP-β-S能阻断SP对B-型H+-门控电流的这一增强作用,而预加SP则抑制B-型H+-门控电流,并以短暂成分尤为明显,此抑制效应不能被GR82334阻断.结论 SP对H+-门控电流的调制依ASIC亚基组成不同,其作用机制有所不同:S-型H+-门控电流的ASIC分子膜外结构上可能存在SP的别构位点.

Modulation of proton-gated current by substance P in trigeminal ganglion neurons of rat

Objective To investigate the modulatory effect of substance P (SP) on proton-gated current in the membrane of rat trgeminal ganglion (TG) neurons and its underlying mechanism. Methods Neurons were isolated mechanically and enzymatically from TG of rat. Whole-cell patch clamp technique was used for recording the proton-gated current in freshly isolated neurons. Results Proton-gated currents recorded from rat TG neurons could be classified into 4 distinct types: T-type, S-type, B-type and O-type in the present study. Co-application of SP and proton potentiated S-type proton-gated currents in a concentration-dependent manner, and the potentiation was not blocked by SP receptor antagonist, GR82334; co-application of SP and proton potentiated B-type proton-gated currents, and GR82334 and intracellular dialysis of GDP-β-S blocked the potentiation of SP. Pre-application of SP inhibited B-type proton-gated current, especially the transient component. The inhibition could not be reversed by pretreatment wit-h GR82334. Conclusions The mechanisms of modulation of proton-gated current by SP is associated with the difference of their makeup of subunits of acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs), and there may be an allosteric position of SP in the outside framework of ASICs in neuronal membrane.
