P2X receptors, a family of ligand-gated ion channels activated by the endogenous ligand ATP, are highly expressed by DRG neurons. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
This is consistent with a recent report on the cell surface expression of P2X1 receptors (Vacca et al. 2009). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Overall these studies highlight that trafficking plays an important role in the control of the functional expression of P2X1 receptors and their regulation.
| |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
HEK293 cells stably expressing P2X1-4 receptors were used to determine whether these receptors were localized in lipid rafts. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The P2X1 receptor was detected in the same fractions as flotillin as we have shown previously (10). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Cell surface expression of the P2X1 receptor was also unaffected by cholesterol disruption (Fig. 3a, lower panel) demonstrating that a change in receptor number does not account for the inhibition of P2X1 receptor responses. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Microglia also express another subtype of P2XR, P2X7R, but this receptor subtype appears not to be involved because activation of P2X7Rs typically requires a higher concentration of ATP than used [76, 77] and because TNP-ATP, which does not affect P2X7Rs [78], prevents ATP from stimulating microglia to produce allodynia. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The limited contribution of newly synthesised P2X1 receptors to FRAP suggests that recovery results predominantly from lateral diffusion of receptors already at the cell surface and/or the insertion of recycling receptors. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Does receptor recycling contribute to P2X1 receptors FRAP? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The increase in time constant of recovery of P2X1 FRAP following phorbol ester treatment is consistent with a decrease in the time required for recovery from desensitisation (Ase et al. 2005). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The modest effects of the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide on FRAP suggest that insertion of newly synthesised P2X1 receptors at the cell surface makes only a small contribution to recovery from photo-bleaching. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
P2X1-eGFP receptor fluorescence recovered with a time constant of ? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
A characteristic feature of P2X1 receptors is that they show rapid receptor desensitisation (time constant ? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Swapping the P2X2 receptor TM1 (P2X1-2b), extracellular domain (P2X1-2c), or second half of the carboxyl terminus (P2X1-2e?) | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
To characterize further the contribution of the amino terminus of the P2X1 receptor to cholesterol sensitivity, two additional chimeras were generated, P2X1-2a? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
for the equivalent P2X1 receptor region reduced the effects of cholesterol depletion by ? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Swapping the P2X2 receptor TM1 (P2X1-2b), extracellular domain (P2X1-2c), or second half of the carboxyl terminus (P2X1-2e?) | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Alternatively, the cells expressing P2X1-4 subtype receptors were lysed in 2 ml of MBS (25 mm MES and 150 mm NaCl, pH 6.5) containing Triton X-100 (0.1, 0.3, or 1%). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Swapping the P2X2 receptor TM1 (P2X1-2b), extracellular domain (P2X1-2c), or second half of the carboxyl terminus (P2X1-2e?) | |||||||||||||||
