摘要

Extracellular ATP is implicated in numerous sensory processes ranging from the response to pain to the regulation of motility in visceral organs. The ATP receptor P2X_3 is selectively expressed on small diameter sensory neurons, supporting this hypothesis. Here we show that mice deficient in P2X_3 lose the rapidly desensitizing ATP-induced currents in dorsal root ganglion neurons. P2X_3 deficiency also causes a reduction in the sustained ATP-induced currents in nodose ganglion neurons. P2X_3-null mice have reduced pain-related behaviour in response to injection of ATP and formalin. Significantly, P2X_3-null mice exhibit a marked urinary bladder hyporeflexia, characterized by decreased voiding frequency and increased bladder capacity, but normal bladder pressures. Immunohistochemical studies localize P2X_3 to nerve fibres innervating the urinary bladder of wild-type mice, and show that loss of P2X_3 does not alter sensory neuron innervation density. Thus, P2X_3 is critical for peripheral pain responses and afferent pathways controlling urinary bladder volume reflexes. Antagonists to P2X_3 may therefore have therapeutic potential in the treatment of disorders of urine storage and voiding such as overactive bladder.
