Capsaicin (CAP) excites small sensory neurons, causing pain,
neurogenic inflammation, and other visceral reflexes. These effects have been proposed to be the result of CAP activation of a nonselective cation current. It is generally assumed that CAP binds to an
extracellular domain of the membrane receptor. However, the exact
binding site is not known because of the lipophilic nature of
CAP. To determine whether the binding domain is extracellular or
intracellular, we tested the effect of a synthetic water-soluble CAP
analog, DA-5018·HCl, on current activation. CAP activated the 45 pS
(at 60 mV) nonselective cation channel from either side of the
membrane. However, DA-5018·HCl, which had a greater potency and
efficacy than CAP, activated the channels only from the cytosolic side of the patch membrane in a capsazepine, a CAP receptor antagonist, reversible manner. When applied extracellularly, DA-5018·HCl did not,
but CAP did, activate whole-cell currents in sensory neurons, as well
as in oocytes expressing vanilloid receptor 1, a recently cloned CAP
receptor. Hydrogen ions, reported as a possible endogenous activator of
cation current, failed to elicit any current when acidic medium (pH
5.0-6.0) was applied intracellularly, indicating that
H+ does not mediate the CAP effect. These results
indicate that CAP and its analog bind to the cytosolic domain of the
CAP receptor and suggest that an endogenous CAP-like substance other
than H+ may be present in the cell.
Key words:
capsaicin receptor; VR1; binding domain; DA-5018; capsazepine; acid; pain
