Painful axotomy decreases K-ATP channel current (IKATP) in primary afferent neurons. Because cytosolic Ca2+ signaling is depressed in injured dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons, we investigated whether Ca2+-calmodulin (CaM)-Ca2+/CaM-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) regulates IKATP in large DRG neurons. Immunohistochemistry identified the presence of K-ATP channel subunits SUR1, SUR2, and Kir6.2 but not Kir6.1, and pCaMKII in neurofilament 200-positive DRG somata. Single-channel recordings from cell-attached patches revealed that basal and evoked IKATP by ionomycin, a Ca2+ ionophore, is activated by CaMKII. In axotomized neurons from rats made hyperalgesic by spinal nerve ligation (SNL), basal K-ATP channel activity was decreased, and sensitivity to ionomycin was abolished. Basal and Ca2+-evoked K-ATP channel activity correlated inversely with the degree of hyperalgesia induced by SNL in the rats from which the neurons were isolated. Inhibition of IKATP by glybenclamide, a selective K-ATP channel inhibitor, depolarized resting membrane potential (RMP) recorded in perforated whole-cell patches and enhanced neurotransmitter release measured by amperometry. The selective K-ATP channel opener diazoxide hyperpolarized the RMP and attenuated neurotransmitter release. Axotomized neurons from rats made hyperalgesic by SNL lost sensitivity to the myristoylated form of autocamtide-2-related inhibitory peptide (AIPm), a pseudosubstrate blocker of CaMKII, whereas axotomized neurons from SNL animals that failed to develop hyperalgesia showed normal IKATP inhibition by AIPm. AIPm also depolarized RMP in control neurons via K-ATP channel inhibition. Unitary current conductance and sensitivity of K-ATP channels to cytosolic ATP and ligands were preserved even after painful nerve injury, thus providing opportunities for selective therapeutic targeting against neuropathic pain.
