Cholinergic EPSCs and their potentiation by bradykinin in single paratracheal ganglion neurons attached with presynaptic boutons.
We have found that bradykinin (BK) potentiates the nicotine-induced currents in airway paratracheal/parabronchial ganglia (PTG) neurons. In this study, we investigated if BK affects the cholinergic synaptic transmission in rat PTG neurons attached with synaptic buttons. Excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) were recorded in acutely dissociated PTG neurons attached with presynaptic boutons. E...
متن کاملPhospholipase C and protein kinase A mediate bradykinin sensitization of TRPA1: a molecular mechanism of inflammatory pain.
Bradykinin is an inflammatory mediator that plays a pivotal role in pain and hyperalgesia in inflamed tissues by exciting and/or sensitizing nociceptors. TRPA1 is an important component of the transduction machinery through which environmental irritants and endogenous proalgesic agents depolarize nociceptors to elicit inflammatory pain. Here, using electrophysiological, immunocytochemical and b...
متن کاملLong-term potentiation of nicotinic synaptic transmission in rat superior cervical ganglia produced by phorbol ester and tetanic stimulation.
The long-term potentiation of nicotinic synaptic transmission induced by both active phorbol ester (4beta-phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate, PdBu) and tetanic trains of preganglionic stimulation was studied in single neurons of the superior cervical ganglion (SCG) of the rat using intracellular recording techniques. PdBu significantly increased the mean amplitude of both the unitary evoked fast excitato...
متن کاملNicotinic EPSCs in intact rat ganglia feature depression except if evoked during intermittent postsynaptic depolarization.
The involvement of the postsynaptic membrane potential level in controlling synaptic strength at the ganglionic synapse was studied by recording nicotinic fast synaptic currents (EPSCs) from neurons in the intact, mature rat superior cervical ganglion, using the two-electrode voltage-clamp technique. EPSCs were evoked by 0.05-Hz supramaximal stimulation of the preganglionic sympathetic trunk ov...
متن کاملExtracellular caspase-6 drives murine inflammatory pain via microglial TNF-α secretion.
Increasing evidence indicates that the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain is mediated through spinal cord microglia activation. The intracellular protease caspase-6 (CASP6) is known to regulate neuronal apoptosis and axonal degeneration; however, the contribution of microglia and CASP6 in modulating synaptic transmission and pain is unclear. Here, we found that CASP6 is expressed specifically in ...
