Nociceptive neurons within dorsal root ganglia (DRG) express multiple voltage-gated sodium channels, of which the tetrodotoxin-resistant (TTX-R) channel Na v 1.8 has been suggested to play a major role in inflammatory pain. Previous work has shown that acute administration of inflammatory mediators, including prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2), serotonin, and adenosine, modulates TTX-R current in DRG neurons, producing increased current amplitude and a hyperpolarizing shift of its activation curve. In addition, 4 days following injection of carrageenan into the hind paw, an established model of inflammatory pain, Na v 1.8 mRNA and slowly-inactivating TTX-R current are increased in DRG neurons projecting to the affected paw. In the present study, the expression of sodium channels Na v 1.1–Na v 1.9 in small (≤ 25 μm diameter) DRG neurons was examined with in situ hybridization, immunocytochemistry, Western blot and whole-cell patch-clamp methods following carrageenan injection into the peripheral projection fields of these cells. The results demonstrate that, following carrageenan injection, there is increased expression of TTX-S channels Na v 1.3 and Na v 1.7 and a parallel increase in TTX-S currents. The previously reported upregulation of Na v 1.8 and slowly-inactivating TTX-R current is not accompanied by upregulation of mRNA or protein for Na v 1.9, an additional TTX-R channel that is expressed in some DRG neurons. These observations demonstrate that chronic inflammation results in an upregulation in the expression of both TTX-S and TTX-R sodium channels, and suggest that TTX-S sodium channels may also contribute, at least in part, to pain associated with inflammation.
