| Abstract | Trans-2-Pentenal (pentenal), an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde, induces increases in [Ca2+]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 sensitivity to pentenal is strictly dependent upon the presence of extracellular Na+/Ca2+, as we showed previously, we investigated which types of voltage-gated sodium/calcium channels (VGSCs/VGCCs) are involved in pentenal-induced [Ca2+]i increases as a downstream mechanisms. The application of tetrodotoxin (TTX) significantly suppressed the pentenal-induced increase in [Ca2+]i in a portion of TG neurons, suggesting that TTX-sensitive (TTXs) VGSCs contribute to the pentenal response in those neurons. Diltiazem and ω-agatoxin IVA, antagonists of L- and P/Q-type VGCCs, respectively, both caused significant reductions of the pentenal-induced responses. ω-Conotoxin GVIA, on the other hand, caused only a small decrease in the size of pentenal-induced [Ca2+]i rise. These indicate that both L- and P/Q-type VGCCs are involved in the increase in [Ca2+]i produced by pentenal, while N-type calcium channels play only a minor role. This study demonstrates that TTXs VGSCs, L- and P/Q-type VGCCs play a significant role in the pentenal-induced trigeminal neuronal responses as downstream mechanisms following TRPA1 activation. |

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.
