Glycine release was facilitated by the activation of presynaptic ATP receptors (P2X-type) in a preparation of dissociated trigeminal nucleus pars caudalis neurons in which the native synaptic boutons were preserved. The action of ATP was completely blocked by substance P (SP) without alteration of the miniature IPSC (mIPSC) amplitude distribution. SP itself had no effect on mIPSC frequency or amplitude. The inhibitory effect of SP on ATP action was blocked by CP99994, indicating that the SP receptors are of the neurokinin-1 type. The ATP-induced facilitation of the mIPSC frequency was unaffected by Cd2+. Moreover, SP did not inhibit the increase in mIPSC frequency induced high K+ application, suggesting that SP did not modulate voltage-dependent calcium channels or subsequent steps in the release process.
KT5720 and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate did not block SP action, indicating that neither the cAMP-protein kinase A nor the protein kinase C pathway mediates the SP effects. However, in the presence of N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalene sulphonamide (W-7), SP was no longer able to inhibit the ATP-induced stimulation of mIPSC frequency. 1-[N,O-bis(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-N-methyl-L-tyrosyl]-4-phenylpiperazine also suppressed the SP action, suggesting that SP modulates P2X receptors via a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II-mediated pathway. In conventional whole-cell mode, the presence of W-7 in the patch pipette did not affect the SP inhibitory action. Thus, SP is not likely to be generating its modulation through the production of a retrograde signal (involving calmodulin) from the postsynaptic cell to the presynaptic boutons.
These results are the first demonstration of the modulation of one presynaptic receptor by another. Because SP inhibits the ATP stimulation of glycine release, SP may play a significant role in hyperalgesia or chronic pain.
