Abstract：
:In the present study we found that mesencephalic trigeminal (Mes-V) neurons of the rat are innervated by nitrergic fibers and that nitric oxide (NO) modifies the electrophysiological properties of these cells. Mes-V neurons were surrounded by a network of fibers that contained neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS); these fibers gave rise to terminal-, bouton-like structures which ended in Mes-V cells bodies. These cells, which did not display nNOS-like immunoreactivity were immunoreactive to a cGMP antibody. By performing intracellular recordings in the adult rat brain slice preparation, the effects of diethylenetriamine/NO adduct (DETA/NO) applications were examined. DETA/NO induced a depolarization that averaged 2.2 mV (range: 1-6 mV) in nine of 22 neurons. In 15 of 22 neurons (68% of the cells), there was a decrease in current threshold from 0.74 to 0.60 nA (19%; P<0.001). The excitatory effects of DETA/NO were abolished by ODQ, a blocker of soluble guanylate cyclase. Input resistance (R(in)) decreased in 80% of the cells from a mean of 24.8 to 20.6 Momega (17%; P<0.001) and the membrane time constant (tau(m)) decreased from 7.5 to 5.6 ms (25%; P<0.05). The 'sag' seen in the membrane response of these cells to current pulses was augmented during DETA/NO application. These findings indicate that there is a nitrergic innervation of Mes-V neurons and that these sensory cells are target for NO that may act on them as an excitatory neuromodulator promoting the synthesis of intracellular cGMP.
