Treatment with proinflammatory prostaglandin E2
(PGE2) produced a transient sensitization of
whole-cell currents elicited by the vanilloid capsaicin. The
intracellular signaling pathways that mediate the initiation of this
PGE2-induced sensitization of the capsaicin-elicited
current in rat sensory neurons are not well established. Treatment with
either forskolin (100 nM to 10 µM) or
membrane-permeant analogs of cAMP, 8-bromo-cAMP (8-Br-cAMP) and
chlorphenylthio-cAMP (10 µM to 1 mM),
transiently sensitized neuronal responses elicited by capsaicin in a
manner analogous to that produced by PGE2. The duration of
sensitization was lengthened with increasing concentrations of
forskolin; however, higher concentrations of 8-Br-cAMP or
chlorphenylthio-cAMP led to a shortening of sensitization. The inactive
analog of forskolin, dideoxy-forskolin, had no effect on capsaicin
responses. Inclusion of the inhibitor of protein kinase A in the
recording pipette completely suppressed the sensitization produced by
PGE2 or forskolin. In recordings from membrane patches in
the cell-attached configuration, the bath application of capsaicin evoked single-channel currents in which the level of channel activity was concentration-dependent and had an EC50 of 1.4 µM. These single-channel currents evoked by capsaicin
exhibited an apparent reversal potential of +4 mV and were blocked by
the capsaicin antagonist capsazepine. Exposure of the sensory neuron to
either PGE2 or forskolin produced a large and transient
increase in the mean channel activity (NPo) elicited
by capsaicin, although the unitary conductance remained unaltered.
Taken together, these observations suggest that modulation of the
capsaicin-gated channel by the cAMP-protein kinase A signaling pathway
enhanced the gating of these channels and consequently resulted in the
sensitization of the whole-cell currents.
