The early rise of intracellular Cl- levels coincides with phosphorylation of NKCC1 | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The antisera directed against NKCC1 (C-14 antibody) and p-NKCC1 showed a virtually perfect match in the DRG sections (Fig. 4A) indicating that both non-phosphorylated and phosphorylated forms of NKCC1 are present in most neurons. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
To test whether NKCC1 phosphorylation may contribute to the early rise of Cl- levels (< 3 hr), we stained 9 DRG sections from 3 animals with an antibody raised specifically against the phosphorylated form of NKCC1 (p-NKCC1). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Changes of Cl- regulation that led to disinhibition of these spinal neurons and to referred mechanical hyperalgesia involved a rapid and transient increase of NKCC1 phosphorylation followed by increased recruitment of NKCC1 protein to the plasma membrane within 3 hours [33]. | |||||||||||||||

|
These data demonstrate that the inflammatory mediators induce the phosphorylation of NKCC1 in DRG neurons and suggest that this phosphorylation causes the early (< 3 hr) phase of enhanced Cl- accumulation observed by 2P-FLIM in response to the stimulus.
| |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
This effect coincided with enhanced phosphorylation of the Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter NKCC1, suggesting that an increased activity of that transporter caused the early rise of intracellular Cl- levels. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Immunohistochemical experiments revealed that phosphorylation of the Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter NKCC1 coincides with this increase of Cl- levels. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
NKCC1 phosphorylation stimulates neurite growth of injured adult sensory neurons [24]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The following antibodies and dilutions were used: goat anti-NKCC1, 1:20 (C-14, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Heidelberg, #sc-21547), goat anti-NKCC1, 1:20 (N-16; Santa Cruz, #sc-21545), goat anti-KCC2, 1:20 (R-14, Santa Cruz, #sc-19420), sheep anti-p-NKCC1, 1:20 (directed against the phosphorylated sites Thr203+Thr207+Thr212 of human NKCC1, The University of Dundee, Scotland, UK), rabbit anti-substance P, 1:50 (PC232L, Oncogene Research, San Diego), and rabbit anti-CGRP, 1:50 (PC205L, Oncogene Research). | |||||||||||||||
