P2Y receptors and pain transmission

Abstract: It is widely accepted that the most important ATP receptors involved in pain transmission belong to the P2X3 and P2X2/3 subtypes, selectively expressed in small diameter dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. However, several types of the metabotropic ATP (P2Y) receptors have also been found in primary afferent neurons; P2Y1 and P2Y2 receptors are typically expressed in small, nociceptive cells. Here we review the results available on the involvement of P2Y receptors in the modulation of pain transmission.

“…For instance, although the activation of the uridine P2Y 2 receptor promotes CGRP release (Sanada et al, 2002), and facilitates capsaicininduced currents in rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG) (Gerevich and Illes, 2004), UTP and UDP were found to be analgesic when intrathecally injected to rats (Okada et al, 2002). Moreover, neuronal P2Y 1 receptors can downregulate P2X 3 receptor function in rat DRG (Gerevich et al, 2005), and its cognate ligand ADP can exert an antinociceptive role (Gerevich and Illes, 2004). Conversely, the selective inhibition of the ADP-sensitive P2Y 12 receptor subtype in vivo significantly suppresses neuropathic pain following spinal nerve ligation (Tsuda et al, 2010).…”

“…Growing evidence suggests that nucleotides that are released upon injury or under physiological conditions stimulate nucleotide P2 receptors and serve as endogenous signals to induce a rapid response in glial cells [24][25][26]. Neurons and SCs in the PNS express purinergic receptors that are linked to the release of intracellular Ca 2+ stores and the regulation of several pathways [27][28][29][30].…”

“…Messenger RNAs for P2Y 1,2,4,6,12,13,14 subtypes have been found in DRG neurons [30,31,32], suggesting that these receptors may play an ancillary role in peripheral somatosensory transmission [33,34]. P2Y receptors are located not only in the cell body, but also in peripheral and central terminals [35,36], where their activity is presumably integrated within the complex molecular network associated with the transmission of nociceptive signals to the CNS. Functional P2Y 1,2,4 receptors are also expressed in subsets of TG sensory neurons [30,37], but to date their role in the modulation of trigeminal pain has not been properly investigated.…”
