Human Na(v)1.8: enhanced persistent and ramp currents contribute to distinct firing properties of human DRG neurons.
Although species-specific differences in ion channel properties are well-documented, little has been known about the properties of the human Nav1.8 channel, an important contributor to pain signaling. Here we show, using techniques that include voltage clamp, current clamp, and dynamic clamp in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, that human Na(v)1.8 channels display slower inactivation kinetics...
متن کاملNav 1 . 3 ramp currents 1 The response of NaV 1 . 3 sodium channels to ramp stimuli : multiple components and 1 mechanisms
41 42 Nav1.3 voltage-gated sodium channels have been shown to be expressed at increased levels 43 within axotomized dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and within injured axons within neuromas and 44 have been implicated in neuropathic pain. Like a number of other sodium channel isoforms, Nav1.3 45 channels produce a robust response to slow ramplike stimuli. Here we show that the response of Nav...
متن کاملSlow closed-state inactivation: a novel mechanism underlying ramp currents in cells expressing the hNE/PN1 sodium channel.
To better understand why sensory neurons express voltage-gated Na+ channel isoforms that are different from those expressed in other types of excitable cells, we compared the properties of the hNE sodium channel [a human homolog of PN1, which is selectively expressed in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons] with that of the skeletal muscle Na+ channel (hSkM1) [both expressed in human embryonic ki...
متن کاملBlock of voltage-gated potassium channels by Pacific ciguatoxin-1 contributes to increased neuronal excitability in rat sensory neurons.
The present study investigated the actions of the polyether marine toxin Pacific ciguatoxin-1 (P-CTX-1) on neuronal excitability in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons using patch-clamp recording techniques. Under current-clamp conditions, bath application of 2-20 nM P-CTX-1 caused a rapid, concentration-dependent depolarization of the resting membrane potential in neurons expressing tetrodo...
متن کاملCorrelation of the electrophysiological profiles and sodium channel transcripts of individual rat dorsal root ganglia neurons
Voltage gated sodium channels (Nav channels) play an important role in nociceptive transmission. They are intimately tied to the genesis and transmission of neuronal firing. Five different isoforms (Nav1.3, Nav1.6, Nav1.7, Nav1.8, and Nav1.9) have been linked to nociceptive responses. A change in the biophysical properties of these channels or in their expression levels occurs in different path...
