| Abstract | Small (<25 μm in diameter) neurons of the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) express multiple voltage-gated Na+ channel subtypes, two of which being resistant to tetrodotoxin (TTX). Each subtype mediates Na+ current with distinct kinetic property. However, it is not known how each type of Na+ channel contributes to the generation of action potentials in small DRG neurons. Therefore, we investigated the correlation between Na+ currents in voltage-clamp recordings and corresponding action potentials in current-clamp recordings, using wild-type (WT) and NaV1.8 knock-out (KO) mice, to clarify the action potential electrogenesis in small DRG neurons. We classified Na+ currents in small DRG neurons into three categories on the basis of TTX sensitivity and kinetic properties, i.e., TTX-sensitive (TTX-S)/fast Na+ current, TTX-resistant (TTX-R)/slow Na+ current, and TTX-R/persistent Na+ current. Our concurrent voltage- and current-clamp recordings from the same neuron revealed that the action potentials in WT small DRG neurons were mainly dependent on TTX-R/slow Na+ current mediated by NaV1.8. It was surprising that a large portion of TTX-S/fast Na+ current was switched off in WT small DRG neurons due to a hyperpolarizing shift of the steady-state inactivation (h ∞), whereas in KO small DRG neurons which are devoid of TTX-R/slow Na+ current, the action potentials were generated by TTX-S/fast Na+ current possibly through a compensatory shift of h ∞ in the positive direction. We also confirmed that TTX-R/persistent Na+ current mediated by NaV1.9 actually regulates subthreshold excitability in small DRG neurons. In addition, we demon strated that TTX-R/persistent Na+ current can carry an action potential when the amplitude of this current was abnormally increased. Thus, our results indicate that the action potentials in small DRG neurons are generated and regulated with a combination of multiple mechanisms that may give rise to unique functional properties of small DRG neurons. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
