Mutations in voltage-gated sodium channels are associated with altered pain perception in humans. Most of these mutations studied to date present with a direct and intuitive link between the altered electrophysiological function of the channel and the phenotype of the patient. In this study, we characterize a variant of Nav1.8, D1639N, which has been previously identified in a patient suffering from the chronic pain syndrome "small fiber neuropathy". Using a heterologous expression system and patch-clamp analysis, we show that Nav1.8/D1639N reduces current density without altering biophysical gating properties of Nav1.8. Therefore, the D1639N variant causes a loss-of-function of the Nav1.8 sodium channel in a patient suffering from chronic pain. Using immunocytochemistry and biochemical approaches, we show that Nav1.8/D1639N impairs trafficking of the channel to the cell membrane. Neither co-expression of β1 or β3 subunit, nor overnight incubation at 27 °C rescued current density of the D1639N variant. On the other hand, overnight incubation with lidocaine fully restored current density of Nav1.8/D1639N most likely by overcoming the trafficking defect, whereas phenytoin failed to do so. Since lidocaine rescues the loss-of-function of Nav1.8/D1639N, it may offer a future therapeutic option for the patient carrying this variant. These results demonstrate that the D1639N variant, identified in a patient suffering from chronic pain, causes loss-of-function of the channel due to impaired cell surface trafficking and that this trafficking defect can be rescued by lidocaine.
