A tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated Na+
current (TTX-R INa) appears to be the
current primarily responsible for action potential generation in the
cell body and terminals of nociceptive afferents. Although other
voltage-gated Na+ currents are modulated by the
activation of protein kinase C (PKC), protein kinase A (PKA), or both,
the second messenger pathways involved in the modulation of TTX-R
INa are still being defined. We have
examined the modulation of TTX-R INa in
isolated sensory neurons with whole-cell voltage-clamp recording.
Activation of either PKC or PKA increased TTX-R
INa. PKA activation also produced a leftward
shift in the conductance-voltage relationship of TTX-R INa and an increase in the rates of current
activation, deactivation, and inactivation. Inhibitors of PKC decreased
TTX-R INa, whereas inhibitors of PKA
had no effect on the current. Investigating the interaction between PKC
and PKA revealed that although inhibitors of PKA had little effect on
PKC-induced modulation of TTX-R INa, inhibitors of PKC significantly attenuated PKA-induced modulation of
the current. Finally, although PGE2-induced modulation of
TTX-R INa was more similar to PKA-induced
modulation of the current than to PKC-induced modulation,
PGE2-induced effects were inhibited by inhibitors of both
PKC and PKA. Thus, although TTX-R INa is a
common target for cellular processes involving the activation of either
PKA or PKC, PKC activity is necessary to enable subsequent PKA-mediated
modulation of TTX-R INa.
