Abstract
- Both substance P and neurokinin A are known as neurotransmitters of the submandibular ganglion cell. In this study, the effects of neurokinin (NK) receptor-subtype agonists on hamster submandibular ganglion cells were investigated using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Membrane currents evoked by a ramp pulse from +50 to −100 mV (−150 mV/1000 msec) were compared in both the absence and presence of NK receptor agonist. The NK-1 receptor agonist [Sar 9 , Met (O 2 ) 11 ]-substance P, the NK-2 receptor agonist [Ala 5 , β-Ala 8 ]-α-neurokinin fragment 4–10, and the NK-3 receptor agonist senktide were used. The three agonists dose-dependently increased the amplitude of the inward current with a reversal potential near 0 mV. Their rank order was NK-1=NK-3>NK-2. Even when the external solution was replaced with Cs + or N -methyl- d -glucamine + instead of Na + , the NK receptor agonists also increased the amplitude of the inward current. Thus, NK-1 and NK-3 receptors are apparently coupled with non-selective cation channels in submandibular ganglion cells.
