External QX-314 inhibits evoked cranial primary afferent synaptic transmission independent of TRPV1.
The cell-impermeant lidocaine derivative QX-314 blocks sodium channels via intracellular mechanisms. In somatosensory nociceptive neurons, open transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) receptors provide a transmembrane passageway for QX-314 to produce long-lasting analgesia. Many cranial primary afferents express TRPV1 at synapses on neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract and...
متن کاملVanilloid receptors presynaptically modulate cranial visceral afferent synaptic transmission in nucleus tractus solitarius.
Although the central terminals of cranial visceral afferents express vanilloid receptor 1 (VR1), little is known about their functional properties at this first synapse within the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). Here, we examined whether VR1 modulates afferent synaptic transmission. In horizontal brainstem slices, solitary tract (ST) activation evoked EPSCs. Monosynaptic EPSCs had low synapti...
متن کاملDifferential effects of peripheral versus central coadministration of QX-314 and capsaicin on neuropathic pain in rats.
BACKGROUND Neuropathic pain is common and difficult to treat. Recently a technique was developed to selectively inhibit nociceptive inputs by simultaneously applying two drugs: capsaicin, a transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor-1 channel activator, and QX-314, a lidocaine derivative that intracellularly blocks sodium channels. We used this technique to investigate whether transient re...
متن کاملOlfactory nerve stimulation-evoked mGluR1 slow potentials, oscillations, and calcium signaling in mouse olfactory bulb mitral cells.
Fast synaptic transmission between olfactory receptor neurons and mitral cells (MCs) is mediated through AMPA and NMDA ionotropic glutamate receptors. MCs also express high levels of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1) whose functional significance is less understood. Here we characterized a slow mGluR1-mediated potential that was evoked by high-frequency (100-Hz) olfactory nerve (ON) st...
متن کاملPermeation and block of TRPV 1 channels by the cationic lidocaine derivative QX - 314 1 2 3 4
37 QX-314 (N-ethyl-lidocaine) is a cationic lidocaine derivative that blocks voltage38 dependent sodium channels when applied internally to axons or neuronal cell bodies. Co39 application of external QX-314 together with the TRPV1 agonist capsaicin produces 40 long-lasting sodium channel inhibition in TRPV1-expressing neurons, suggestive of QX41 314 entry into the neurons. We asked whether QX-3...
