Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels, including the thermoreceptor TRP vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and innocuous warm detector TRP melastatin 8 (TRPM8), are widely expressed on the primary sensory neurons of the trigeminal ganglion (TG) and the dorsal root ganglion (DRG). By performing real-time quantitative PCR and immunostaining, we compared TRPV1 and TRPM8 gene expression and immunostaining in mouse DRG and TG neurons. Both TRPV1 and TRPM8 are widely expressed in the TG and DRG, but in different patterns: TRPV1 has relatively more abundant expression and immunostaining in the DRG, whereas TRPM8 has higher levels in the TG. Double-staining for TRPV1 and TRPM8 revealed very little coexpression in either the TG or the DRG. These results suggest that TRPV1 and TRPM8 are differentially expressed in TG and DRG, and this significant variation may underlie the different temperature sensory properties of the skin and oral cavity.
期刊介绍：
Neuroscience Letters is devoted to the rapid publication of short, high-quality papers of interest to the broad community of neuroscientists. Only papers which will make a significant addition to the literature in the field will be published. Papers in all areas of neuroscience - molecular, cellular, developmental, systems, behavioral and cognitive, as well as computational - will be considered for publication. Submission of laboratory investigations that shed light on disease mechanisms is encouraged. Special Issues, edited by Guest Editors to cover new and rapidly-moving areas, will include invited mini-reviews. Occasional mini-reviews in especially timely areas will be considered for publication, without invitation, outside of Special Issues; these un-solicited mini-reviews can be submitted without invitation but must be of very high quality. Clinical studies will also be published if they provide new information about organization or actions of the nervous system, or provide new insights into the neurobiology of disease. NSL does not publish case reports.
