Tóm tắt

Low voltage–activated (LVA) T-type Ca2+ (ICaT) and NaN/Nav1.9 currents regulate DRG neurons by setting the threshold for the action potential. Although alterations in these channels have been implicated in a variety of pathological pain states, their roles in processing sensory information remain poorly understood. Here, we carried out a detailed characterization of LVA currents in DRG neurons by using a method for better separation of NaN/Nav1.9 and ICaT currents. NaN/Nav1.9 was inhibited by inorganic ICa blockers as follows (IC50, μM): La3+ (46) > Cd2+ (233) > Ni2+ (892) and by mibefradil, a non-dihydropyridine ICaT antagonist. Amiloride, however, a preferential Cav3.2 channel blocker, had no effects on NaN/Nav1.9 current. Using these discriminative tools, we showed that NaN/Nav1.9, Cav3.2, and amiloride- and Ni2+-resistant ICaT (AR-ICaT) contribute differentially to LVA currents in distinct sensory cell populations. NaN/Nav1.9 carried LVA currents into type-I (CI) and type-II (CII) small nociceptors and medium-Aδ–like nociceptive cells but not in low-threshold mechanoreceptors, including putative Down-hair (D-hair) and Aα/β cells. Cav3.2 predominated in CII-nociceptors and in putative D-hair cells. AR-ICaT was restricted to CII-nociceptors, putative D-hair cells, and Aα/β-like cells. These cell types distinguished by their current-signature displayed different types of mechanosensitive channels. CI- and CII-nociceptors displayed amiloride-sensitive high-threshold mechanical currents with slow or no adaptation, respectively. Putative D-hair and Aα/β-like cells had low-threshold mechanical currents, which were distinguished by their adapting kinetics and sensitivity to amiloride. Thus, subspecialized DRG cells express specific combinations of LVA and mechanosensitive channels, which are likely to play a key role in shaping responses of DRG neurons transmitting different sensory modalities.
