Nav1.7 is a promising drug target for the treatment of pain because individuals with Nav1.7 loss-of-function mutations are insensitive to pain and do not have other serious neurological deficits. However, current peripherally restricted Nav1.7 inhibitors have not performed well in clinical pain trials, which may reflect a lack of understanding of the function of Nav1.7 in the transmission of nociceptive information. Although numerous studies have reported that Nav1.7 has a moderate role in peripheral transduction, the precise contribution of Nav1.7 to axonal propagation in nociceptors is not clearly defined, particularly for afferents innervating deep structures. In this study, we examined the contribution of Nav1.7 to axonal propagation in nociceptors utilising sodium channel blockers in in vivo electrophysiological and calcium imaging recordings from L4 in the mouse. Using the sodium channel blocker TTX (1-10μM) to inhibit Nav1.7 and other TTX-S sodium channels along the sciatic nerve, we first showed that around 2/3rds of nociceptive neurons innervating the skin, but a lower proportion innervating the muscle (45%), are blocked by TTX. In contrast, nearly all large-sized A-fibre cutaneous afferents (95-100%) were blocked by axonal TTX. Characterisation of TTX resistant cutaneous nociceptors revealed that many were polymodal (57%) and capsaicin sensitive (57%). Next, we examined the role of Nav1.7 in axonal propagation in nociceptive neurons by applying the selective channel blocker PF-05198007 (300nM-1μM) to the sciatic nerve between stimulating and recording sites. 100-300nM PF-05198007 blocked propagation in 63% of C-fibre sensory neurons, whereas similar concentrations did not affect propagation in rapidly conducting A-fibre neurons. We conclude that Nav1.7 has an essential contribution to axonal propagation in only around 2/3rds of nociceptive C-fibre neurons, and a lower proportion (≤45%) of nociceptive neurons innervating muscle.
