Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Functional expression of P2X7 receptor, which was one of the ionotropic P2X receptors, was observed in neurons and glial cells derived from rat trigeminal ganglion. Compared between P2X7 receptors in neurons and glial cells, electro-physiological properties of both cells was possibly different inferring from sensitivity of P2X7 agonists. Direct neuron-glial interaction in trigeminal ganglion was not observed by mechanical stimulation of single neuron or glial cell. Biphasic inward currents by administration of P2X7 receptor agonist may be elicited by extracellular ATP released via pannexin 1 channel.
