CAPSAICIN RECEPTOR SUBTYPES IN PAIN TRANSDUCTION

疼痛传导中的辣椒素受体亚型

基本信息

项目摘要

Unwanted side effects such as central nervous system depression and risk of addiction limit the ability to manage acute and chronic pain states even if adequate pain relief has been achieved. Since pain can originate from the persistent activation of peripheral nociceptive neurons, the development of new therapies that can selectively block pain at the primary afferent nerve terminal would represent a novel and significant achievement in pain management. We have recently characterized a cDNA clone encoding a vanilloid (capsaicin) receptor expressed in peripheral sensory neurons that transduce pain (Nature 389: 816-824, 1997). This cDNA termed, "vanilloid receptor type-1", (VR1) encodes an ion channel which confers several important properties relevant to peripheral pain transduction. It is activated by a class of compounds such as capsaicin, which are painful if topically applied to humans but following repeated application, produce analgesia, VR-1 is also activated by intense heat in the range that is associated with the sensation of burning pain and is potentiated under conditions of low pH as exists with disorders of inflammation and infection. We will test the hypothesis that vanilloid receptors arise from a common gene by characterizing genomic clones encoding vanilloid receptors. In the preliminary results, we demonstrate an additional subtype cDNA (termed VR-2). Therefore, by expressing VR-2 in Xenopus oocytes, we will test the hypothesis that VR-2 encodes a vanilloid receptor with responses to noxious chemical and heat stimuli that are distinct from VR-1 and that VR-2 is differentially expressed in nociceptive neurons by in situ hybridization and quantitate those difference by RT-PCR. Since capsaicin is used as topical analgesics to treat pain, characterization of vanilloid receptor subtypes should provide important insight into the advancement of therapies designed to selectively block pain.
不必要的副作用,如中枢神经系统抑郁和成瘾的风险限制了管理急性和慢性疼痛状态的能力,即使已经实现了充分的疼痛缓解。 由于疼痛可能起源于外周伤害性神经元的持续激活,因此开发能够选择性阻断初级传入神经末梢疼痛的新疗法将代表疼痛管理的新的重大成就。 我们最近已经鉴定了编码在抑制疼痛的外周感觉神经元中表达的香草素(辣椒素)受体的cDNA克隆(Nature 389:816-824,1997)。 这种cDNA被称为“香草素受体1型”(VR 1),其编码赋予与外周疼痛转导相关的几种重要性质的离子通道。 它被一类化合物如辣椒素激活,如果局部应用于人,辣椒素是痛苦的,但重复应用后,产生镇痛作用,VR-1也被与烧灼痛感觉相关的范围内的高热激活,并在炎症和感染疾病存在的低pH条件下增强。 我们将通过表征编码香草素受体的基因组克隆来检验香草素受体来自一个共同基因的假设。 在初步结果中,我们证明了一个额外的亚型cDNA(称为VR-2)。 因此,通过在非洲爪蟾卵母细胞中表达VR-2,我们将测试VR-2编码香草素受体的假设,该受体对与VR-1不同的有害化学和热刺激具有反应,并且VR-2通过原位杂交在伤害感受神经元中差异表达,并通过RT-PCR定量这些差异。 由于辣椒素被用作局部镇痛剂来治疗疼痛,香草素受体亚型的表征应该为选择性阻断疼痛的治疗方法的发展提供重要的见解。
