Two subclasses of acid-sensing ion channels (ASIC3) and of ATP-sensitive P2X receptors (P2X3Rs) show a partially overlapping expression in sensory neurons. Here we report that both recombinant and native receptors interact with each other in multiple ways. Current measurements with the patch-clamp technique prove that ASIC3 stimulation strongly inhibits the P2X3R current partly by a Ca2+-dependent mechanism. The proton-binding site is critical for this effect and the two receptor channels appear to switch their ionic permeabilities during activation. Co-immunoprecipation proves the close association of the two protein structures. BN-PAGE and SDS-PAGE analysis is also best reconciled with the view that ASIC3 and P2X3Rs form a multiprotein structure. Finally, in vivo measurements in rats reveal the summation of pH and purinergically induced pain. In conclusion, the receptor subunits do not appear to form a heteromeric channel, but tightly associate with each other to form a protein complex, mediating unidirectional inhibition.

Fig. 1. Concentration–response curves for agonists at various ASICs and P2X3Rs expressed in CHO cells. a–c Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings of proton and α,β-meATP-induced currents. Both types of agonists were applied at the indicated increasing concentrations for 2 s onto CHO cells transfected with rASIC3 (a, upper panel) or rP2X3 (a, lower panel). The intervals between individual applications were kept at 2 min (protons) or 5 min (α,β-meATP) in order to avoid the decrease of the subsequent current amplitudes by desensitization. Drug application procedures in this and all subsequent panels of this figure were identical. CHO cells expressing rASIC3 (b) or rP2X3 (c) were treated with amiloride (AMI; 10 µM) or A-31749 (10 µM) while constructing concentration–response curves. In this and all subsequent panels of this figure, means ± S.E.M. of the indicated number of experiments are shown. Broken lines represent curves obtained in response to agonist application to CHO cells containing ASIC3 or P2X3Rs only, in the absence of any additional drug. d–f CHO cells were transfected with rASIC3 and rP2X3 cDNA in a 1:1 ratio. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings of proton and α,β-meATP-induced currents.

Blockade of ASIC3 channel activity by the selective antagonist APETx2 (0.1 µM) shifted the Erev of α,β-meATP back near to its original value of around 0 mV. e In CHO-rASIC3/rP2X3R cells, ramps of 200 mV duration (−90 to +90 mV) were delivered at a holding potential of −65 mV to determine the Erev of ASIC3 after a drop of the normal pH from 7.4 to 6.5. Then, a high concentration of α,β-meATP (100 µM) was applied in order to change the distribution of extra- and intracellular ions. Eventually, the Erev was re-determined after washing out α,β-meATP. Original tracing; large capacitive artifacts at the beginning and end of the ramp-induced currents were retouched. f Current–voltage curves were constructed from the indicated number of experiments similar to that shown in (e). The scale labels for the vertical bars were 2 nA (a, left panel), 1 nA (a, middle and right panels), 1 nA (c) and 500 pA (e). The scale labels for the horizontal bars were 1 s (a, c) and 2 s (e) | |
