Multiple Cation Channels Mediate Increases in Intracellular Calcium Induced by the Volatile Irritant, Trans-2-Pentenal in Rat Trigeminal Neurons

Abstract: Trans-2-Pentenal (pentenal), an alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde, induces increases in [Ca(2+)](i) in cultured neonatal rat trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons. Since all pentenal-sensitive neurons responded to a specific TRPA1 agonist, allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) and neurons from TRPA1 knockouts failed to respond to pentenal, TRPA1 appears to be sole initial transduction site for pentenal-evoked trigeminal response, as reported for the structurally related irritant, acrolein. Furthermore, because the neuronal sen… Show more

“…Our observations gain support from findings showing that, in rodent dorsal root ganglion neurons, the activation of TRPA1 receptors by AITC enhanced the inward currents evoked by repeated applications of AITC (36) and by the mechanical stimulation of neurites (6). The cellular mechanisms by which TRPA1 activation leads to the sensitization of CSLV fibers is unclear, but they are probably related to changes in the membrane conductance or to the resting membrane potential (19), or both. Activation of TRPA1 receptors evokes the influx of cations, such as calcium and sodium ions, which in turn can trigger the opening of voltage-gated cation channels (19) and lead to elevation of cell excitability of CSLV neurons.…”

Activation of TRPA1 receptors evokes the influx of cations, such as calcium and sodium ions, which in turn can trigger the opening of voltage-gated cation channels (19) and lead to elevation of cell excitability of CSLV neurons. In addition to its abundant location on sensory neurons, TRPA1 receptors are also expressed on nonneuronal tissues including in mice and human airways (12,32).…”

“…Furthermore, biological activity that is unrelated to electrophilic reactivity should be considered. For example, ( E )-2-pentenal is a strong irritant of sensory nerves, being a ligand for the TRPA1 channel [ 76 ]. Even though these volatiles are highly reactive, they do not show an indiscriminate reactivity, because steric factors are important as well; for example, the α , β -unsaturated oxo-compounds 1-penten-3-one and ( E )-2-pentenal inhibit glucose 6-phosphatase, but conjugated dienals do not [ 77 ].…”

“…We examined bimatoprostinduced Ca 2þ response in hTRPA1-HEK and nt-TRPA1-HEK cells to conform the direct activation of TRPA1 by bimatoprost. As shown in Figure 3A, hTRPA1-HEK cells in calcium imaging assays responded robustly to bath solution application of bimatoprost (25 ng/mL), and responded again to bath solution application of 100 lM AITC, 35 a specific agonist of TRPA1, after bimatoprost washout. Furthermore, after AITC washout, hTRPA1-HEK cells responded again to bath solution application of 25 lM WIN, a synthetic and selective CB1 receptor agonist and a nonspecific agonist of TRPA1.…”
