Encoding of compressive stress during indentation by slowly adapting type I mechanoreceptors in rat hairy skin.

Abstract:

:The mechanical state encoded by slowly adapting type 1 mechanoreceptors (SAI) during indentation was examined using an isolated preparation in a rat model. Skin and its intact innervation were harvested from the medial thigh of the rat hindlimb and placed in a dish, with the corium side down, containing synthetic interstitial fluid. The margins of the skin were coupled to an apparatus that could stretch and apply compression to the skin. Using a standard teased nerve preparation, the neural responses of single SAIs were identified. SAIs were stimulated, using controlled compressive stress while simultaneously measuring displacement, by compressing the skin between indenters (flat cylinders) of different diameters and a hard platform. SAIs were subcategorized according to whether their neural response saturated above or below 10 kPa compressive stress (SAI-H or SAI-L, respectively). Linear regression was used to evaluate the relationships between neuron response and stress and force and displacement. For all SAIs, the mean neural response was significantly and substantially more highly correlated with compressive stress than force or displacement. For the SAI-L subcategory, the mean correlation coefficient was significantly and substantially greater for stress than for force but not significantly different for displacement. The data from this study support the hypothesis that SAI mechanoreceptors stimulated by indentation encode compressive stress rather than force, displacement, or strain.
