Nociceptor sodium #ionchannels shape subthreshold phase, upstroke, and shoulder of action potentials | Journal of General Physiology @JGenPhysiol buff.ly/4hku7gH #openaccess

Angelika Lampert @lampertlab.bsky.social · 30/01/2025
5/5 When stepwise reducing Nav1.9, we see the shoulder disappear. It fits to the observation that CMi-fibers have broad APs doi.org/10.1101/2024... and high expression of Nav1.9. So, the shoulder of nociceptor APs may well be supported not only by Nav1.8 but also - suprisingly strongly - by Nav1.9.
020
Angelika Lampert @lampertlab.bsky.social · 30/01/2025
4/5 We model a CMi-fiber (sleeping nociceptor) and an Adelta-fiber. In both, Nav1.9 significantly contributed to the fast upstroke of the AP and also to the shoulder formation. We can also nicely mimic Nav related disease pathology, like erythromelalgia, in the model.

Angelika Lampert @lampertlab.bsky.social · 30/01/2025
3/5 What is the role of all those Navs during AP generation? Thomas Stiehl created a computer model in which we fed HH models of Navs, generated on our patch data, according to their expression revealed by transcriptomic data published by @dianatavf.bsky.social @tedpricethepainguy.bsky.social

Angelika Lampert @lampertlab.bsky.social · 30/01/2025
2/5 We find that – not surprisingly – Nav1.8 activates and inactivates at more depolarized potentials compared to all the other Navs. Nav1.9 – recorded by Enrico Leipold – and Nav1.5 activate at the most hyperpolarized potentials. Nav1.9 has hugh window currents, and prominent persistent currents.

Angelika Lampert @lampertlab.bsky.social · 30/01/2025
1/5 Are you interested in the role of Nav1.9 in AP generation? And what do all the other #sodiumchannels do in the nociceptor? In a study led by the MD student Phil Köster in the lab, we performed manual patch clamp on all Navs known to be expressed in sensory neurons. Nav1.1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9.
