Abstract：
:Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) are key elements in sensory signaling under physiological and pathological conditions. Little is known about electrical coupling among cells in these ganglia. In this study, we injected the fluorescent dye Lucifer yellow (LY) into single cells to examine dye coupling in DRG. We found no dye coupling between neurons or between neurons and their attendant satellite glial cells (SGCs). In mouse DRG, we observed that in 26.2% of the cases SGCs that surround a given neuron were dye coupled. In only 3.2% of the cases SGCs that make envelopes around different neurons were coupled. The data from mouse ganglia were very similar to those from rat and guinea pig DRG. The results obtained by injection of the tracer biocytin were very similar to those observed with LY. The coupling incidence within the envelopes increased 3.1-fold by high extracellular pH (8.0), but coupling between envelopes was not affected. Acidic pH (6.8) reduced the coupling. High extracellular K+ (9.4 mM) increased the coupling 2.4-fold and 4.7-fold within and between envelopes, respectively. Low extracellular Ca2+ (0.5, 1.0 mM) partly reversed the effect of high K+ on coupling. The results showed that SGCs in mammalian sensory ganglia are connected by gap junctions. This coupling is very sensitive to changes in pH, and can therefore be modulated under various physiological and pathological conditions. The dependence of the coupling on extracellular K+ and Ca2+ suggests that the permeability of gap junctions can be altered by physiological and pharmacological stimuli.
