    ASICs (acid-sensing ion channels) are putative mechano-gated cation channels in mammals. In the present study, we discovered that at least ASIC1a, ASIC1b, and ASIC4 are expressed in mouse auditory and vestibular hair cells. In particular, transmission electron microscopy revealed that ASIC1b proteins were located at the stereociliary tips, suggesting that all the three ASIC subtypes are somehow involved in the generation of mechanoelectrical transduction (MET) currents. ABR (auditory brainstem response) tests demonstrated the slight-to-moderate degree of deafness in ASIC1b or ASIC4 knockout mice. Further investigations are needed to assess the physiological roles of ASICs in mouse inner ear MET.

    Although acid-sensing ion channel 4 (ASIC4) is a novel mechanical ion channel, the expression and the function in the gastrontestinal (GI) tract is unknown. The aoms of this study was to investigate and the function of ASIC4 in the mouse GI tract. RT-PCR analysis showed that ASIC4 transcripts were obtained from the jejunum to distal colon in adult mice. X-gal staining revealed that ASIC4 was expressed in the myenteric plexus. β-galactosidase activity was foumd in both Ach+ and NOS+ neurons. ASIC4 knock out (KO) mice showed delayed intestinal transit time compared with wild type mice by phenol red method. The ileum of ASIC4-KO mice revealed week response to Ach and high dose nicotine by Magnus assay. These results suggested that ASIC4 may play an important role in GI motor function.

    We identified a putative mechanosensory channel ASIC-X in mouse auditory hair cells, and explored its channel properties using a combination of electrophysiology and ratio-imaging techniques with fura-2 and SBFI. Although the leakage currents of heterologously expressed ASIC-X were augmented by strong shear stress, neither hypotonicity nor direct stretching of plasma membrane enhanced the currents. Mechanoelectrical transduction (MET) currents in outer hair cells (OHCs) of ASIC-X knockout mice did not significantly change in the amplitude, compared to MET currents in wild-type OHCs, which is in good agreement with the in vitro data. However, our investigations revealed that the ASIC-X channel was selective to sodium ions. Therefore, ASIC-X is most likely to function as a sodium leak channel in vivo rather than as a mechanosensitive molecule. The tissue distribution of the channel should be clarified in detail next.

    To explore the peripheral mechanism of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), we focused on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is released during ischemic state in the affected area of MPS and regulates hypoxia-induced vascular function. Intramuscular administration of VEGF caused acute and subacute mechanical hyperalgesia in mice. This hyperalgesia was improved by intramuscular administration of anti-VEGFR1 antibody or TRPV1 blocker capsazepine. In addition, the VEGF-induced mechanical hyperalgesia was not observed in TRPV1 knockout mice. VEGFR1 co-localized with TRPV1 in mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons. These results suggest that VEGF-induced mechanical hyperalgesia is involved in activation of VEGFR1 and TRPV1 channel. Furthermore, intramuscular saline injection also alleviated the VEGF-induced hyperalgesia. The analgesic effect depended on different concentrations of sodium chloride and 0.15M concentration of saline was the most effective in the present study.

    Acid-sensing ion channel 5 (ASIC5；also called BLINaC or BASIC) is a novel bile acid-sensitive ion channel, which is expressed in the epithelial cells that line bile ducts (Wiemuth et al, 2012), but the expression in the upper digestive tract is unknown. We thus examined the expression of ASIC5 in the mouse esophagus. RT-PCR analysis found that the short fragments of ASIC5 transcripts were abundantly detected in the middle and lower regions. Full length PCR cloning analysis identified a novel splicing variant from the mouse esophagus along with the registered ASIC5 transcripts. We also examined the expression of acid-sensitive G protein-coupled receptor TGR5 known as another candidate in a human normal esophageal epithelial cell line HET-1A, but apparent expression was not detected. ASIC5 may participate in physiological and pathophysiological functions of the esophagus, although the expression of ASIC5 protein was not confirmed because of lack of antibodies specific to ASIC5.

    We investigated whether ASIC1b located at the ankle regions of stereocilia in mouse auditory hair cells contributes to normal auditory function, using ASIC1b knockout (KO) mice. Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that the morphology of inner and outer hair cells of adult KO mice were normal. Patch-clamp experiments showed that immature inner and outer hair cells of wild-type mice generated large inward currents in response to acidic stimuli, and those currents were abolished in the presence of amiloride, an inhibitor of ASIC1b. Proton-induced ASIC-like currents were still detected in inner and outer hair cells of age-matched KO mice, suggesting that other ASIC subtypes also exist in mouse auditory hair cells. We are currently conducting ABR (auditory brainstem response) and DPOAE (distortion product otoacoustic emission) tests to evaluate peripheral auditory function in KO mice. Further experiments are needed to elucidate functional roles of ASIC1b in the stereocilia.

    本研究の目的は、味覚経路に発現する温度感受性TRPが中枢ではなくすでに末梢のレベルで味覚に影響を及ぼすことを証明し、更にその影響を解析することである。この研究は昨年度から引き続き行われており、以下に本年度の成果とその重要性について説明する。(1)トレーサーFast Bluev (FB)による舌を支配する鼓索神経の標識:当初トレーサーにはDiOを考えていたが、実際に使用して比較してみるとFBによる標識のほうがコントラストもよく調子が良かった。マウス舌前方(鼓索神経領域)にFBを局注し、舌に分布する神経線維を順行性にトレースすることで舌を支配する膝神経節の神経細胞体を同定できた。(2)マウス膝神経節における温度感受性TRP (TRPV1)の発現:昨年度の研究から、マウス膝神経節において温度感受性TRP蛋白のひとつTRPV1が発現していることが示唆されていた。トレーサーFBを用いて舌を支配する膝神経節の細胞体を同定した上で、TRPV1の免疫染色を行ったところこれらのシグナルは一部重なっていた。以上の結果から味覚伝達経路にはTRPV1が発現していることが示唆された。(3)さまざまな温度の味溶液で舌を刺激した場合に誘発される鼓索神経応答の電気生理学的検討:舌を刺激する五つの味溶液(甘味・酸味・苦味・うま味・塩味)を用意し、さらにそれらの温度を低いものから高いものまで設定して、鼓索神経whole nerve recordingを行った。その結果、一般的に42℃(高温)、100℃(低温)では舌の表面温度である25QCよりも活性が抑制された。しかし塩味の場合は10℃では同様に25℃よりも活性が抑制されたが、TRPV1が活性化する42℃の高温条件ではむしろ鼓索神経の応答は増強された。このことから高温下ではTRPV1が活性化して(後、何らかのメカニズムを経て)塩味による味覚神経の応答を増強することが示唆された。

    T2Rs comprise a G-protein-coupled receptor superfamily that contains functionally defined bitter taste receptors. We found coding single-nucleotide polymorphisms (cSNPs) in human T2R genes (hT2R3, hT2R4, and hT2R5) on chromosome 7q31. We identified six cSNPs within the T2R receptor genes. The hT2R4 and hT2R5 contained four and on cSNPs that cause missense mutations, respectively, while hT2R3 included one silent nucleotide mutation. However, we could not find any nonsense mutations that resulted in a frameshift or a premature stop codon within the open reading frames. T2R receptors and a G-protein α subunit (Gα), gustducin, are believed to be key molecules for its perception, but little is known about the molecular basis for its interaction. We use a heterologous expression system to determine a specific domain of gustducin necessary for T2R coupling. Two chimeric Gα16 proteins harboring 37 and 44 gustducin-specific sequences at their C termini (G16/gust37 and G16/gust44) responded to different T2R receptors with known ligands, but G16/gust23, G16/gust11, and G16/gust5 did not. The former two chimeras contained a predicted β6 sheet, an α5 helix, and an extreme C terminus of gustducin, and all the domains were indispensable to the expression of T2R activity. We also expressed G16 protein chimeras with the corresponding domain from other Gαi proteins, cone-transducin (Gαt2), Gαi2, and Gαz (G16/t2, G16/i2, and G16/z). As a result, G16/t2 and G16/i2 produced specific responses of T2Rs, but G16/z did not. Using Gα16-based chimeras and hT2R16 variants, we examined sensitivity to salicin. Identification of nucleotide diversity and amino acid polymorphisms in human T2R receptors could help clarify individual differences in the acceptability and sensitivity to bitter compounds.

    ヒト三叉神経節から新しい水素イオン感受性チャンネルをスクリーニングしたところ、上皮型アミロライド感受性イオンチャンネルファミリーに属するENaC-delta(epithelial Na channel-delta)が単離された。アフリカツメガエル卵母細胞発現系を用いて電気生理学的に解析したところ、水素イオンによって活性化されることが確認された。ASIC(acid-sensing ion channel)やVR1(transient receptor potential subtype-1)と同様に、末梢の痛覚受容器において炎症やリュウマチなどの局所的なアシドーシスに伴う痛みの発生に寄与していると考えられたので、三叉神経節における分布をin situ hybridization法および免疫組織化学法を用いて検討したが、特異的なシグナルは検出できなかった。しかしながら、ヒトの大脳皮質、小脳における発現をNorthern blot法を用いて調べたところ、両者に強く発現していることが確認できた。脳におけるENaC-deltaの役割は今のところ不明であるが、この遺伝子は霊長類以上のほ乳動物にしか発現していないことから、高次脳機能との関連が考えられ、現在も脳における詳細な分布パターンの解析を行っている。また、このイオンチャンネルがVR1のアンタゴニストであるカプサゼピンにより活性化することを我々は見出したので、ヒトの神経系におけるカプサゼピンの効果について詳しく検索しているところである。

    Acid-sensing ion channel-2a (ASIC2a) is an amiloride-blockable proton-gated action channel, probably contribution to sour-taste detection in rat taste cells. To isolate another subtype of the sour-taste receptor, we screened a rat circumvallate papilla cDNA library and identified ASIC2b, an N-terminal splice variant of ASICA2a. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analyses confirmed the expression of ASIC2b transcripts in the circumvallate papilla and, moreover, demonstrated its expression in the foliate and fungiform papillae. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed that ASIC2b, as well as ASIC2a, was expressed in a subpopulation of taste cells in the circumvallate, foliate, and fungiform papillae, and some of the cells displayed both ASIC2a-and ASIC2b-immunoreactivities. Subsequent co-immunoprecipitation studies with circumvallate papillae extracts indicated that ASIC2b associated with ASIC2a to form assemblies, and, together with our immunohistochemical findings, strongly suggested that both ASIC2 subunits formed heteromeric channels in taste cells in the circumvallate, foliate, and fungiform papillae. Oocyte electro-physiology demonstrated that the ASIC2a/ASIC2b channel generated maximal inward currents at pH 2.0, which is in good agreement with the in vivo pH-sensitivity of rat taste cells, and that the amiloride-sensitivity of the heteromer decreased with decreasing pH and was almost completely abolished at pH 2.0. These findings provide persuasive explanations for the amiloride-insensitivity of acid-induced responses of rat taste cells.

    本研究はMDEG1イオンチャネルの第二膜貫通部位に人工的な点変異を導入し、この陽イオンチャネルが開いたまま閉じない状態を作り出し、このgain of functionの特殊なチャネルをトランスジェニックマウスに発現させて、味覚障害や神経変性症のモデル動物を作成することが目的である。 MDEG1の430番目のグリシン残基をPCR法を用いて様々なアミノ酸に置換し、電気生理学的に解析した結果、フェニルアラニンに置換させたものが最も効果的にチャネルが開いたままの状態になることを明らかにした。さらにミュータントイオンチャネル(MDEG1-G430F)を発現させた細胞に、選択的な細胞死が起こることを確認した。このMDEG1-G430FのcDNAにopsinのプロモーター・エンハンサー領域をつなげて岡部らと共同研究でトランスジェニックマウスを作成した。現在そのトランスジェニックマウスがどの様な障害をきたしたか、形態学的、生理学的な解析を進めている。 また、堀本らと共同研究で、このMDEG1-G430Fミュータントに、がん特異的プロモーターを組み込んだものを、リポゾーム法を用いて、転移がんモデルマウスに投与し、がん細胞の選択的な細胞死を引き起こすモデルマウスを作成した。

    We have identifieda cDNA encoding a taste receptor for sourness (MDEG1) from a rat circumvallate papilla cDNA library by combined cDNA homology and functional expression approaches. When expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes, MDEG1 showed characteristics of a proton-gated amiloride-sensitive cation channel. Interestingly, acidic stimulation by acetic acid, the chief ingredient of vinegar, generatedlarger inwardcurrents than that by hydrochloric acidat equal pH.In situ hybridization revealed that the mRNA of MDEG1 was exclusively localized in taste buds. MDEG1 immunoreactivity was found on the cell surface and in the apical portion of taste bud cells, especially in type III cells which are classifiedas gustatory receptor cells. This is the first taste receptor cDNA to be cloned. To isolate another subunit of the sour-taste receptor, we screened a rat circumvallate papilla cDNA library and iden tified MDEG2. Immunohistochemical and electrophysiological studies demonstrated that MDEG2 formed heterooligomeric channels with MDIEG1 at the apical portion of single taste-cells and modified the desensitization of MDEG1 channel. The desensitization rate of the heterooligomer was dramatically altered by a single amino acid substitution of Gly481 in MDEG2 without changing other channel properties. These findings suggest that MDEG2 regulates the sour-taste receptor desensitization contributing to sour-taste adaptation and that Gly481 in MDEG2 is the key amino acidresidue that controls the duration of sourtaste sensation.
