Local anesthetics inhibit veratridine-induced secretion of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) from cultured rat trigeminal ganglion cells.

Abstract:

:Secretion of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) was studied with the model system of dispersed adult rat trigeminal ganglion cells. Veratridine stimulated secretion of CGRP immunoreactivity. Tetrodotoxin and local anesthetics inhibited veratridine-stimulated peptide secretion. These observations implicate sodium channels in CGRP secretion and are consistent with a role for the peptide as an extracellular neuromodulator in the sensory nervous system.
