在哺乳动物自主神经系统中,对长的去极化电流脉冲的反应可以在放电模式上区分出强直神经元和时相神经元。然而,体细胞初级感觉神经元中相似的放电模式及其功能意义还没有得到很好的研究。在此,我们在大鼠背根神经节(DRG)内发现了两种支配躯体感觉的神经元。强直神经元以强度依赖的方式激发动作电位(AP),而时相神经元通常在刺激开始时只产生一个AP放电,而不考虑强度。结合体细胞背根节神经元的逆行标记和荧光示踪剂DiI,我们进一步发现,在完全弗氏佐剂(CFA)或蜂毒毒素蜂毒素(Melittin)诱导的炎性疼痛状态下,这些神经元表现出明显的变化。在紧张性神经元中,CFA和蜂毒素处理可显著缩短动作电位时程和AP时程(去极化和复极化),增强超射和后超极化(AHP)的幅度,并增加诱发动作电位的数目。然而,在时相神经元中,相同的炎症处理导致这些电生理参数的变化较少,除了超射增加和AP持续时间减少外。在目前的研究中,我们发现紧张性神经元在外周伤害性炎症刺激后比时相神经元更容易兴奋。结果表明,两种背根节神经元在炎性痛中的作用不同。
In the mammalian autonomic nervous system, tonic and phasic neurons can be differentiated on firing patterns in response to long depolarizing current pulse. However, the similar firing patterns in the somatic primary sensory neurons and their functional significance are not well investigated. Here, we identified two types of neurons innervating somatic sensory in rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Tonic neurons fire action potentials (APs) in an intensity-dependent manner, whereas phasic neurons typically generate only one AP firing at the onset of stimulation regardless of intensity. Combining retrograde labeling of somatic DRG neurons with fluorescent tracer DiI, we further find that these neurons demonstrate distinct changes under inflammatory pain states induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) or bee venom toxin melittin. In tonic neurons, CFA and melittin treatments significantly decrease rheobase and AP durations (depolarization and repolarization), enhance amplitudes of overshoot and afterhyperpolarization (AHP), and increase the number of evoked action potentials. In phasic neurons, however, the same inflammation treatments cause fewer changes in these electrophysiological parameters except for the increased overshoot and decreased AP durations. In the present study, we find that tonic neurons are more hyperexcitable than phasic neurons after peripheral noxious inflammatory stimulation. The results indicate the distinct contributions of two types of DRG neurons in inflammatory pain.
