Kv7.2 regulates the function of peripheral sensory neurons.
The Kv7 (KCNQ) family of voltage-gated K(+) channels regulates cellular excitability. The functional role of Kv7.2 has been hampered by the lack of a viable Kcnq2-null animal model. In this study, we generated homozygous Kcnq2-null sensory neurons using the Cre-Lox system; in these mice, Kv7.2 expression is absent in the peripheral sensory neurons, whereas the expression of other molecular comp...
متن کاملPiezo2-mediated mechanotransduction in peripheral sensory neurons
23 Piezo2 ion channels are critical determinants of the sense of light touch in vertebrates. Yet, their 24 regulation is only incompletely understood. We recently identified myotubularin related protein-2 25 (Mtmr2), a phosphoinositide (PI) phosphatase, in the native Piezo2 interactome of murine dorsal 26 root ganglia (DRG). Here, we demonstrate that Mtmr2 attenuates Piezo2-mediated rapidly ada...
متن کاملDual Regulation of d-Opioid Receptor Function by Arachidonic Acid Metabolites in Rat Peripheral Sensory Neurons
The regulation of opioid receptor system function in peripheral sensory neurons is not well understood. Opioid agonist efficacy to inhibit nociceptor function and to promote antinociception is generally weak under basal conditions and frequently no response occurs. However, in response to a cyclooxygenasedependent metabolite of arachidonic acid (AA) after exposure to inflammatory mediators, suc...

متن کاملExtracellular pH regulates excitability of vomeronasal sensory neurons.
The mouse vomeronasal organ (VNO) plays a critical role in semiochemical detection and social communication. Vomeronasal stimuli are typically secreted in various body fluids. Following direct contact with urine deposits or other secretions, a peristaltic vascular pump mediates fluid entry into the recipient's VNO. Therefore, while vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs) sample various stimulatory s...
