The Mechanosensitivity of Mouse Colon Afferent Fibers and Their Sensitization by Inflammatory Mediators Require Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 and Acid-Sensing Ion Channel 3

Mechanical hypersensitivity of the colon underlies in part the chronic abdominal pain experienced by patients with irritable bowel syndrome, yet the molecules that confer mechanosensitivity to colon sensory neurons and their contribution to visceral pain are unknown. We tested the hypothesis that transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and acid-sensing ion channel 3 (ASIC3) are peripheral mechanosensors in colon afferent neuronal fibers that mediate visceral nociceptive behavior in mice. Visceral nociception, modeled by the visceromotor response to colorectal distension, and colon afferent fiber mechanosensitivity were assessed in control (C57BL/6) mice and two congenic knock-out mouse strains with deletions of either TRPV1 or ASIC3. Phasic colon distension (15-60 mmHg) produced graded behavioral responses in all three mouse strains. However, both TRPV1 and ASIC3 knock-out mice were significantly less sensitive to distension, with an average response magnitude only 58 and 50% of controls, respectively. The behavioral deficits observed in both strains of knock-out mice were associated with a significant and selective reduction in afferent fiber sensitivity to circumferential stretch of the colon, an effect that was mimicked in control preparations by pretreatment with capsazepine, a TRPV1 antagonist, but not amiloride, a nonselective ASIC antagonist (both 500µM). In addition, whereas stretch-evoked afferent fiber responses were enhanced by chemical inflammatory mediators in control mice, this effect was differentially impaired in both knock-out mouse strains. These results demonstrate a peripheral mechanosensory role for TRPV1 and ASIC3 in the mouse colon that contributes to nociceptive behavior and possibly peripheral sensitization during tissue insult.
