Genetic and pharmacological evidence for low-abundance TRPV3 expression in primary vagal afferent neurons.
Primary vagal afferent neurons express a multitude of thermosensitive ion channels. Within this family of ion channels, the heat-sensitive capsaicin receptor (TRPV1) greatly influences vagal afferent signaling by determining the threshold for action-potential initiation at the peripheral endings, while controlling temperature-sensitive forms of glutamate release at central vagal terminals. Gene...
متن کاملSecretin activates vagal primary afferent neurons in the rat: evidence from electrophysiological and immunohistochemical studies.
In this study, we evaluated the vagal afferent response to secretin at physiological concentrations and localized the site of secretin's action on vagal afferent pathways in the rat. The discharge of sensory neurons supplying the gastrointestinal tract was recorded from nodose ganglia. Of 91 neurons activated by electrical vagal stimulation, 19 neurons showed an increase in firing rate in respo...
متن کاملTRPA1 channels mediate cold temperature sensing in mammalian vagal sensory neurons: pharmacological and genetic evidence.
Cold thermoreceptors have been described in different territories of the vagus nerve. Application of cold temperature to these visceral afferents can evoke major protective reflexes and thermoregulatory responses. However, virtually nothing is known about the transduction mechanisms underlying cold sensitivity in vagal afferents. Here, we investigated the effects of cold stimulation on intracel...
متن کاملTRPM8 function and expression in vagal sensory neurons and afferent nerves innervating guinea pig esophagus.
Sensory transduction in esophageal afferents requires specific ion channels and receptors. TRPM8 is a new member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel family and participates in cold- and menthol-induced sensory transduction, but its role in visceral sensory transduction is still less clear. This study aims to determine TRPM8 function and expression in esophageal vagal afferent subt...
متن کاملExpression of cannabinoid CB1 receptors by vagal afferent neurons: kinetics and role in influencing neurochemical phenotype.
The intestinal hormone cholecystokinin (CCK) inhibits food intake via stimulation of vagal afferent neurons (VAN). Recent studies suggest that CCK also regulates the expression of some G protein-coupled receptors and neuropeptide transmitters in these neurons. The aim of the present study was to characterize the expression of cannabinoid (CB)1 receptors in VAN and to determine whether stimulati...
