Abstract:
:In the olfactory epithelium, olfactory sensitive neurons and their axons are surrounded by glia-like cells called sustentacular cells, which maintain both the structural and ionic integrity of the olfactory mucosa. We have previously found that endothelin-1 (ET-1) can uncouple sustentacular cell gap junctions in vitro similarly as carbenoxolone, a known gap junction uncoupling agent. The role of gap junctions in odorant transduction remains controversial and we explored here if ET-1 naturally produced by the olfactory mucosa could impact odorant detection. Using calcium imaging on olfactory mucosa explant, we first confirmed that ET-1 uncouples gap junctions in an olfactory mucosa preparation preserving the tissue integrity. We next measured the olfactory epithelium responses to odorant stimulation using electro-olfactogram recordings. While the amplitude of the response was not modified by application of ET-1 and carbenoxolone, its repolarizing phase was slower after both treatments. We finally examined the behavioral performances of rat pups in an orientation test based on maternal odor recognition after intranasal instillations of ET-1 or carbenoxolone. While rat pups performances were decreased after ET-1 treatment, it was unchanged after carbenoxolone treatment. Overall, our results indicate that ET-1 modulates olfactory responses at least partly through gap junction uncoupling.
