NMDA receptors in primary afferents require phosphorylation by Src family kinases to induce substance P release in the rat spinal cord.

Abstract：

:The function of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in primary afferents remains controversial, in particular regarding their ability to evoke substance P release in the spinal cord. The objective of this study was, first, to confirm that substance P release evoked by NMDA is mediated by NMDA receptors in primary afferent terminals. Second, we investigated whether these NMDA receptors are inactivated in some conditions, which would explain why their effect on substance P release was not observed in some studies. Substance P release was induced in spinal cord slices and measured as neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor internalization in lamina I neurons. NMDA (combined with d-serine) induced NK1 receptor internalization with a half of the effective concentration (EC50) of 258 nM. NMDA-induced NK1 receptor internalization was abolished by the NK1 receptor antagonist L-703,606, confirming that is was caused by substance P release, by NMDA receptor antagonists (MK1801 and ifenprodil), showing that it was mediated by NMDA receptors containing the NR2B subunit, and by preincubating the slices with capsaicin, showing that the substance P release was from primary afferents. However, it was not affected by lidocaine and omega-conotoxin MVIIA, which block Na+ channels and voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, respectively. Therefore, NMDA-induced substance P release does not require firing of primary afferents or the opening of Ca2+ channels, which is consistent with the idea that NMDA receptors induce substance P directly by letting Ca2+ into primary afferent terminals. Importantly, NMDA-induced substance P release was eliminated by preincubating the slices for 1 h with the Src family kinase inhibitors PP1 and dasatinib, and was substantially increased by the protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor BVT948. In contrast, PP1 did not affect NK1 receptor internalization induced by capsaicin. These results show that tyrosine-phosphorylation of these NMDA receptors is regulated by the opposite actions of Src family kinases and protein tyrosine phosphatases, and is required to induce substance P release.
