Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that Cav3.2 T-type Ca2+ channels, which can be rebooted by sulfides from Zn2+ inhibition under physiological conditions, and sulfide-generating enzymes including cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) would participate in the colitis-related visceral pain in mice treated with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). The visceral hypersensitivity following TNBS-induced colitis was abolished by an inhibitor or genetic deletion of Cav3.2 and by a CBS inhibitor, and accompanied by CBS upregulation in the colon. Our data thus suggest that the enhanced activity of Cav3.2 brought about by sulfides generated by upregulated CBS is involved in the colitis-related visceral hypersensitivity.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences (JPS) is an international open access journal intended for the advancement of pharmacological sciences in the world. The Journal welcomes submissions in all fields of experimental and clinical pharmacology, including neuroscience, and biochemical, cellular, and molecular pharmacology for publication as Reviews, Full Papers or Short Communications. Short Communications are short research article intended to provide novel and exciting pharmacological findings. Manuscripts concerning descriptive case reports, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies without pharmacological mechanism and dose-response determinations are not acceptable and will be rejected without peer review. The ethnopharmacological studies are also out of the scope of this journal. Furthermore, JPS does not publish work on the actions of biological extracts unknown chemical composition.
