چکیده

1. Exogenous ATP produces acute and localized pain in humans, and P2X receptor agonists elicit acute nociceptive behaviours in rodents following intradermal administration to the hindpaw. The predominant localization of P2X(3) mRNA in sensory neurones has led to the hypothesis that activation of P2X(3) and/or P2X(2/3) receptors contributes to nociception. 2. The local administration of the P2X receptor agonist, BzATP (100--1000 nmol paw(-1), s.c.) into the rat hindpaw produced an acute (<15 min) paw flinching response that was similar to that observed in the acute phase of the formalin (5%) test. 3. The co-administration of the potent P2X receptor antagonist, TNP-ATP (30--300 nmol paw(-1)), but not an inactive analogue, TNP-AMP, with BzATP into the rat hindpaw attenuated BzATP-induced nociception. Similarly, co-administration of TNP-ATP, but not TNP-AMP, with 5% formalin reduced both acute and persistent nociception in this test. 4. Co-administration of cibacron blue (30 and 100 nmol paw(-1)), a selective allosteric enhancer of P2X(3) and P2X(2/3) receptor activation, with BzATP (30 and 100 nmol paw(-1)) into the rat hindpaw produced significantly greater nociception as compared to the algogenic effects of BzATP alone. Intradermal co-administration of cibacron blue (30 and 100 nmol paw(-1)) with formalin (1 and 2.5%) into the rat hindpaw also produced significantly greater nociceptive behaviour as compared to formalin alone. 5. The ability of TNP-ATP and cibacron blue to respectively attenuate and enhance nociceptive responses elicited by exogenous BzATP and formalin provide further support for the hypothesis that activation of peripheral P2X(3) containing channels contributes specifically to both acute and persistent nociception in the rat.

Allosteric modulation and accelerated resensitization of human P2X(3) receptors by cibacron blue.

The activity of ATP as a fast neurotransmitter is mediated by the P2X family of ligand-gated ion channels. P2X receptor subtypes are subject to functional modulation by a diverse set of factors, including pH, divalent cations, and temperature. The human P2X(3) (hP2X(3)) receptor subunit is expressed primarily in sensory ganglia where it exists as either a homomultimeric receptor or, in combinat...

The Molecular Determinants of Small-Molecule Ligand Binding at P2X Receptors

P2X receptors are trimeric eukaryotic ATP-gated cation channels. Extracellular ATP-their physiological ligand-is released as a neurotransmitter and in conditions of cell damage such as inflammation, and substantial evidence implicates P2X receptors in diseases including neuropathic pain, cancer, and arthritis. In 2009, the first P2X crystal structure, Danio rerio P2X4 in the apo- state, was pub...

Distinct roles of P2X receptors in modulating glutamate release at different primary sensory synapses in rat spinal cord.

Using spinal cord slice preparations and patch-clamp recordings in lamina II and lamina V regions, we tested a hypothesis that P2X receptor subtypes differentially modulate glutamate release from primary afferent terminals innervating different sensory regions. We found that activation of P2X receptors by alpha,beta-methylene-ATP increased glutamate release onto >80% of DH neurons in both lamin...

Purinergic P2X7 receptor regulates lung surfactant secretion in a paracrine manner.

Alveolar epithelium is composed of alveolar epithelial cells of type I (AEC I) and type II (AEC II). AEC II secrete lung surfactant by means of exocytosis. P2X(7) receptor (P2X(7)R), a P2 purinergic receptor, has been implicated in the regulation of synaptic transmission and inflammation. Here, we report that P2X(7)R, which is expressed in AEC I but not AEC II, is a novel mediator for the parac...

Competitive antagonism of recombinant P2X(2/3) receptors by 2', 3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) adenosine 5'-triphosphate (TNP-ATP).

TNP-ATP has become widely recognized as a potent and selective P2X receptor antagonist, and is currently being used to discriminate between subtypes of P2X receptors in a variety of tissues. We have investigated the ability of TNP-ATP to inhibit alpha,beta-methylene ATP (alpha,beta-meATP)-evoked responses in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells expressing recombinant rat or human P2X(2/3) receptors. ...
