Presentation Transcript


  1. Temperature sensation { Transient Receptor Potential for Vanilloid (TRPV1)

  2. Conclusion Our sense of temperature is not accurate, we rely on devices. Overview How do we feel? What makes us feel ? TRPV1

  3. We feel because of Action Potential firing Model of Action potential firing 1.Stimulus active Receptor 2.Receptor triggers ion channel open 3.Ion channel opening causes neuron firing

  4. Stimuli Kinetic Motion Infrared Light Interchangeable

  5. Bulb of Krause: Cold temperature. Ruffini Endings: Hot temperature Others are in our tongue

  6. Voltage Clamp

  7. Model of Action Potential Firing Threshold:-55mV Voltage-gated ion channel open

  8. Energy source Electrochemical gradient Chemical gradient Electrical Potential

  9. Ionophoric Proteins (Transmembrane proteins) Ion Channels Ion Transporters (Pumps)

  10. Regulation of Ion Chanel and Pumps creates electrochemical gradients around phospholipid bilayer membrane Primary energy source Chloroplast(Photosynthesis) Mitochondrion(ATP Synthesis) Cell membrane(sensation, Substance exchange) Ex. Electric Eel, Symplocarpus foetidus (Skunk Cabbage), heart beats

  11. Human heart timer: SN node.

  12. Energy is established by Ion Pumps Energy Then is utilized by ion channel

  13. Ion Transporters(pumps) Proteins convert energy from various sources, including ATP, sunlight, and other redox reactions, to potential energy stored in an electrochemical gradient. Sodium potassium pumps Calcium Pumps

  14. What makes us feel? Ion channels opening Passive transport Using electrochemical gradient energy creates neuron information

  15. The ion channel responsible for temperature sensation are TRP Channels Transient Receptor Potential Channel(TRP) Voltage-gated Ligand Calcium and sodium

  16. TRP ion channels were first described in Drosophila melanogaster in 1989 and in mammals several years later. Vision related

  17. Many studies

  18. Introduction of techniques including voltage clamp, patch clamp, immunohistochemistry, X-ray crystallography, fluorescence, and RT-PCR studying TRP channels.

  19. Our basic temperature feelings are COLD, WARM, and HOT Ion Channels are specialized

  20. Discovery of TRPV1 David Julius isolated cDNA encoding capsaicin (vanilloid) receptor through expression cloning. Shortly afterward, it turned out to be heat sensor and structural homologues of the fly trp channels. Independently. VR1 = TRPV1

  21. X-ray crystallography images the protein

  22. TRPV1(838aa) Gene Function Regulation

  23. Function TRPV1 on our skin and tongue can be opened by heat. Ions(Calcium, sodium) flow in, triggering action potential firing Not limited in Heat sensation Pressure Pain Inflammatory response

  24. Attempt to understand high is heat measured in our body Functional Role of C-Terminal Cytoplasmic Tail of Rat Vanilloid Receptor 1 ---The Journal of Neuroscience, 15 February 2003

  25. Still no definite conclusion saying the C terminal is the only part responsible for heat detection. They use whole cell, and reuse after 30seconds washout Similar experiment claim the C terminal of TRPM8 is also responsible for Cold detection

  26. Immunofluorescence of rat found that TRPV1 expressed not only skin, but bladder, intestine, trachea and brain(dorsal root ganglia). Osmo- and Mechanotransduction function in bladder.

  27. Extreme temperature is harmful TRPV1 and TRPA1 are nociceptors

  28. TRPA1 (<16 C or 60 F) and TRPV1 (>39 C or 102 F) are nociceptors pain sensation and they are co-expressed(La Jolla, 2003). Pain is still unknown mechanism Paradox analgesic effect: Applying capsaicin on skin

  29. Regulation of TRPV1 Sensitization Vanilloid Protein Kinase A, PKC Proton, acids Voltage (Calcium, soudium) Anandamide (arachidonic acid, Inflammatory) Desensitization PIP2 Phosphatase

  30. Inflammation bradykinin Histamine SP TrkA TRPV1 Firing
