Evidence for TRPA1 involvement in central neural mechanisms in a rat model of dry eye

Abstract: Dry eye (DE) disease is commonly associated with ocular surface inflammation, an unstable tear film and symptoms of irritation. However, little is known about the role of central neural mechanisms in DE. This study used a model for persistent aqueous tear deficiency, exorbital gland removal, to assess the effects of mustard oil, a TRPA1 agonist, on eyeblink and eyewipe behavior and Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI) in the trigeminal brainstem of male rats. Spontaneous tear secretion was reduced by about 50% a… Show more

“…TRP cation channel subfamily A member 1 (TRPA1) is an extremely broadly tuned chemo-nocisensor channel [81,82]. TRPA1 is expressed in the TG and ocular instillation of a selective TRPA1 agonist produces neuronal activation of trigeminal brainstem neurons that is enhanced in an animal model for DED [83]. The contribution of TRPA1 activation to the enhanced excitability of polymodal nociceptors produced by inflammatory mediators seems to be more modest than for TRPV1 [68].…”

“…20,32,78 The SSN and facial motor nucleus also receive an input from Vc/C1 neurons connected to corneal nociceptors for reflex motor and autonomic ocular responses evoked by injurious stimuli. 77,79 The location in the brainstem of the second-order neurons connecting with LB-HT cold thermoreceptors is not certain.

“…Une activation des cellules microgliales est également observée dans le CST, à proximité des neurones secondaires activés, dans un modèle murin de douleur oculaire (Figure 3). Dans un autre modèle de sécheresse/douleur oculaire, une sensibilisation des ocular-responsive neurons est mise en évidence dans la zone de transition Vi/Vc [31,32,33]. Cette sensibilisation se caractérise par une activité électrique plus importante après stimulation chimique de la cornée, une augmentation de la taille des champs récepteurs périorbitaires, et une augmentation du nombre de clignements reflexes palpébraux 5 .…”
