The hyperpolarizing shift in the V1/2 of steady-state activation for L858F compared to WT, at all temperatures tested, is in agreement with our earlier findings [7], and provides a possible explanation for increased excitability in DRG neurons expressing the IEM mutation. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
We confirmed a significant hyperpolarizing shift in V1/2 of activation for L858F compared to WT at all three tested temperatures. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Importantly, steady-state activation of L858F channels is shifted to more depolarized potentials with cooling, whereas the V1/2 of activation for WT channels does not change. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
However, a reduction in temperature to 16°C causes a significant shift in a depolarizing direction of the V1/2 of activation of L858F channels, and this shift is not observed for WT channels. | |||||||||||||||

A si</span>milar <span style="background-color:#B0E0E6">increase was observed for L858F: 4.75% ± 0.37% (35°C) and 4.36% ± 0.25% (25°C) to 8.07% ± 0.32% (16°C, Figure 4C). | |||||||||||||||

|
Thus, we </span>speculate that the depolarizing shift in voltage-<span style="background-color:#FFA07A">dependence of activation of L858F Nav1.7 channels at 16°C, which is predicted to decrease DRG neuron excitability, outweighs the effect of the increased ramp currents. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Thus, the relative increase in the ramp current for L858F when cooled from 35°C to 16°C (170%) is smaller than the relative increase for WT (463%; Figure 4C). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The slope factor of inactivation did not change due to cooling for WT channels, and increases slightly for L858F channels (Figure 3D).
