Background and PurposeThe Cav3.2 isoform of T‐type Ca2+channels (T channels) is sensitized by hydrogen sulfide, a pro‐nociceptive gasotransmitter, and also by PKA that mediates PGE2‐induced hyperalgesia. Here we examined and analysed Cav3.2 sensitization via the PGE2/cAMP pathway in NG108‐15 cells that express Cav3.2 and produce cAMP in response to PGE2, and its impact on mechanical nociceptive processing in rats.Experimental ApproachIn NG108‐15 cells and rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, T‐channel‐dependent currents (T currents) were measured with the whole‐cell patch‐clamp technique. The molecular interaction of Cav3.2 with A‐kinase anchoring protein 150 (AKAP150) and its phosphorylation were analysed by immunoprecipitation/immunoblotting in NG108‐15 cells. Mechanical nociceptive threshold was determined by the paw pressure test in rats.Key ResultsIn NG108‐15 cells and/or rat DRG neurons, dibutyryl cAMP (db‐cAMP) or PGE2increased T currents, an effect blocked by AKAP St‐Ht31 inhibitor peptide (AKAPI) or KT5720, a PKA inhibitor. The effect of PGE2was abolished by RQ‐00015986‐00, an EP4receptor antagonist. AKAP150 was co‐immunoprecipitated with Cav3.2, regardless of stimulation with db‐cAMP, and Cav3.2 was phosphorylated by db‐cAMP or PGE2. In rats, intraplantar (i.pl.) administration of db‐cAMP or PGE2caused mechanical hyperalgesia, an effect suppressed by AKAPI, two distinct T‐channel blockers, NNC 55‐0396 and ethosuximide, or ZnCl2, known to inhibit Cav3.2 among T channels. Oral administration of RQ‐00015986‐00 suppressed the PGE2‐induced mechanical hyperalgesia.Conclusion and ImplicationsOur findings suggest that PGE2causes AKAP‐dependent phosphorylation and sensitization of Cav3.2 through the EP4receptor/cAMP/PKA pathway, leading to mechanical hyperalgesia in rats.
