Activation of thin-fiber muscle afferents by a P2X agonist in cats.

چکیده
The responses of group III and IV triceps surae muscle afferents to intra-arterial injection of alpha,beta-methylene ATP (50 microg/kg) was examined in decerebrate cats. We found that this P2X(3) agonist stimulated only three of 18 group III afferents but 7 of 9 group IV afferents (P < 0.004). The three group III afferents stimulated by alpha,beta-methylene ATP conducted impulses below 4 m/s. Pyridoxal phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid, a P2-receptor antagonist, prevented the stimulation of these afferents by alpha,beta-methylene ATP. We conclude that P2X(3) agonists stimulate only the slowest conducting group III muscle afferents as well as group IV afferents.

متن کاملP2X2/3 and P2X3 receptors contribute to the metaboreceptor component of the exercise pressor reflex.
The exercise pressor reflex is due to activation of thin fiber afferents within contracting muscle. These afferents are in part stimulated by ATP activation of purinergic 2X (P2X) receptors during contraction. Which of the P2X receptors contribute to the reflex is unknown; however, P2X2/3 and P2X3 receptor subtypes are good candidates because they are located on thin fiber afferents and are inv...
متن کاملTemperature modulates P2X receptor-mediated cardiovascular responses to muscle afferent activation.
Static muscle contraction increases ATP release into the muscle interstitial space. Elevated ATP in muscle stimulates thin fiber muscle afferents and increases blood pressure via engagement of purinergic P2X receptors. In addition, ATP activates P2X receptors and enhances cardiovascular responses induced by stimulation of muscle mechanoreceptors. In this study, we examined whether elevated musc...
متن کاملATP stimulates chemically sensitive and sensitizes mechanically sensitive afferents.
We examined whether ATP stimulation of P2X purinoceptors would raise blood pressure in decerebrate cats. Femoral arterial injection of the P2X receptor agonist alpha,beta-methylene ATP into the blood supply of the triceps surae muscle induced a dose-dependent increase in arterial blood pressure. The maximal increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP) evoked by 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5 mM alpha,beta-methy...
