| Abstract | Extracellular ATP and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) are both involved in visceral sensory pathways by interacting with P2X and 5-HT$_{3}$ receptors, respectively. We have investigated the changes in P2X and 5-HT$_{3}$-mediated signalling in pelvic afferent neurons in mice deficient in P2X$_{2}$ and/or P2X$_{3}$ subunits by whole-cell recording of L$_{6}$–S$_{2}$ dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and by multi-unit recording of pelvic afferents of the colorectum. In wildtype DRG neurons, ATP evoked transient, sustained or mixed (biphasic) inward currents. Transient currents were absent in P2X$_{3}$ $^{−/−}$ neurons, whereas sustained currents were absent in P2X$_{2}$ $^{−/−}$ DRG neurons. Neither transient nor sustained currents were observed following application of ATP or α,β-methylene ATP (α,β-meATP) in P2X$_{2}$/P2X$_{3}$ $^{Dbl−/−}$ DRG neurons. 5-HT was found to induce a fast inward current in 63% of DRG neurons from wildtype mice, which was blocked by tropisetron, a 5-HT$_{3}$ receptor antagonist. The percentage of DRG neurons responding to 5-HT was significantly increased in P2X $_{2}$ $^{−/−}$, P2X$_{3}$ $^{−/−}$ and P2X$_{2}$/P2X$_{3}$ $^{Dbl−/−}$ mice, and the amplitude of 5-HT response was significantly increased in P2X$_{2}$/P2X$_{3}$ $^{Dbl−/−}$ mice. The pelvic afferent response to colorectal distension was attenuated in P2X$_{2}$/P2X$_{3}$ $^{Dbl−/−}$ mice, but the response to serosal application of 5-HT was enhanced. Furthermore, tropisetron resulted in a greater reduction in pelvic afferent responses to colorectal distension in the P2X$_{2}$/P2X$_{3}$ $^{Dbl−/−}$ preparations. These data suggest that P2X receptors containing the P2X$_{2}$ and/or P2X$_{3}$ subunits mediate purinergic activation of colorectal afferents and that 5-HT signalling in pelvic afferent neurons is up-regulated in mice lacking P2X$_{2}$ or P2X$_{3}$ receptor genes. This effect is more pronounced when both subunits are absent. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
