Introduction

Cation channel with high affinity for sodium, which is gated by extracellular protons and inhibited by the diuretic amiloride. Generates a biphasic current with a fast inactivating and a slow sustained phase. In sensory neurons is proposed to mediate the pain induced by acidosis that occurs in ischemic, damaged or inflamed tissue. May be involved in hyperalgesia. May play a role in mechanoreception. Heteromeric channel assembly seems to modulate channel properties.

RNA isoform expression landscape of the human dorsal root ganglion generated from long-read sequencing

Article

Author: Mwirigi, Juliet M ; Price, Theodore J ; Arendt-Tranholm, Asta

AbstractSplicing is a posttranscriptional RNA processing mechanism that enhances genomic complexity by creating multiple isoforms from the same gene. We aimed to characterize the isoforms expressed in the human peripheral nervous system, with the goal of creating a resource to identify novel isoforms of functionally relevant genes associated with somatosensation and nociception. We used long-read sequencing to document isoform expression in the human dorsal root ganglia from 3 organ donors and validated in silico by confirming expression in short-read sequencing from 3 independent organ donors. Nineteen thousand five hundred forty-seven isoforms of protein-coding genes were detected and validated. We identified 763 isoforms with at least one previously undescribed splice junction. Previously unannotated isoforms of multiple pain-associated genes, including ASIC3, MRGPRX1, and HNRNPK, were identified. In the novel isoforms of ASIC3, a region comprising approximately 35% of the 5'UTR was excised. By contrast, a novel splice junction was used in isoforms of MRGPRX1 to include an additional exon upstream of the start codon, consequently adding a region to the 5'UTR. Novel isoforms of HNRNPK were identified, which used previously unannotated splice sites to both excise exon 14 and include a sequence in the 3' end of exon 13. This novel insertion is predicted to introduce a tyrosine phosphorylation site potentially phosphorylated by SRC. We also independently confirm a recently reported DRG-specific splicing event in WNK1 that gives insight into how painless peripheral neuropathy occurs when this gene is mutated. Our findings give a clear overview of mRNA isoform diversity in the human dorsal root ganglia obtained using long-read sequencing.

Fenofibrate ameliorates nitroglycerin-induced migraine in rats: Role of CGRP/p-CREB/P2X3 and NGF/PKC/ASIC3 signaling pathways

Article

Author: Sallam, Nada A ; Ruby, Hassan A ; Kenway, Sanaa A ; Khattab, Mohamed A ; Sayed, Rabab H

Migraine, a debilitating neurological condition, significantly affects patients' quality of life. Fenofibrate, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-α) agonist approved for managing dyslipidemia, has shown promise in treating neurological disorders. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the protective effects of fenofibrate against nitroglycerin (NTG)-induced chronic migraine in rats. Migraine was induced in rats by administering five intermittent doses of NTG (10 mg/kg, i. p.) on days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Rats were treated with either topiramate (80 mg/kg/day, p. o.), a standard drug, or fenofibrate (100 mg/kg/day, p. o.) from day 1-10. Fenofibrate significantly improved mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity, photophobia, and head grooming compared to topiramate. These effects were associated with reduced serum levels of nitric oxide (NO), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP). Furthermore, fenofibrate down-regulated c-Fos expression in the medulla and medullary pro-inflammatory cytokine contents. Additionally, fenofibrate attenuated NTG-induced histopathological changes in the trigeminal ganglia and trigeminal nucleus caudalis. These effects were associated with the inhibition of CGRP/p-CREB/purinergic 2X receptor 3 (P2X3) and nerve growth factor (NGF)/protein kinase C (PKC)/acid-sensing ion channel 3 (ASIC3) signaling pathways. This study demonstrates that fenofibrate attenuated NTG-induced migraine-like signs in rats. These effects were partially mediated through the inhibition of CGRP/p-CREB/P2X3 and NGF/PKC/ASIC3 signaling pathways. The present study supports the idea that fenofibrate could be an effective candidate for treating migraine headache without significant adverse effects. Future studies should explore its clinical applicability.

Activation of ASIC3/ERK pathway by paeoniflorin improves intestinal fluid metabolism and visceral sensitivity in slow transit constipated rats

Article

Author: Deng, Yuan ; Zhan, Yu ; Zhou, Hong‐Yun ; Zhao, Qiong ; Zhang, Zi‐Qi

AbstractSlow transit constipation (STC) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders in children and adults worldwide. Paeoniflorin (PF), a monoterpene glycoside compound extracted from the dried root of Paeonia lactiflora, has been found to alleviate STC, but the mechanisms of its effect remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of PF on intestinal fluid metabolism and visceral sensitization in rats with compound diphenoxylate‐induced STC. Based on the evaluation of the laxative effect, the abdominal withdrawal reflex test, enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay, quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the visceral sensitivity, fluid metabolism‐related proteins, and acid‐sensitive ion channel 3/extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ASIC3/ERK) pathway‐related molecules. PF treatment not only attenuated compound diphenoxylate‐induced constipation symptoms and colonic pathological damage in rats but also ameliorated colonic fluid metabolic disorders and visceral sensitization abnormalities, as manifested by increased colonic goblet cell counts and mucin2 protein expression, decreased aquaporin3 protein expression, improved abdominal withdrawal reflex scores, reduced visceral pain threshold, upregulated serum 5‐hydroxytryptamine, and downregulated vasoactive intestinal peptide levels. Furthermore, PF activated the colonic ASIC3/ERK pathway in STC rats, and ASIC3 inhibition partially counteracted PF's modulatory effects on intestinal fluid and visceral sensation. In conclusion, PF alleviated impaired intestinal fluid metabolism and abnormal visceral sensitization in STC rats and thus relieved their symptoms through activation of the ASIC3/ERK pathway.
