Abstract
Aims
Accumulating evidence indicates the involvement of TRESK potassium channels in migraine, however, effects of TRESK activation on migraine-related mechanisms remain unclear. We explored effects of TRESK channel modulation on migraine-related behavioral and molecular markers in in-vivo and ex-vivo rat models of migraine.
Main methods
The selective TRESK activator cloxyquin at different doses, the TRESK inhibitor A2764, and the migraine drug sumatriptan were tested alone or in different combinations in nitroglycerin (NTG)-induced in-vivo model, and in ex-vivo meningeal, trigeminal ganglion and brainstem preparations in which CGRP release was induced by capsaicin. Mechanical allodynia, CGRP and c-fos levels in trigeminovascular structures and meningeal mast cells were evaluated.
Key findings
Cloxyquin attenuated NTG-induced mechanical allodynia, brainstem c-fos and CGRP levels, trigeminal ganglion CGRP levels and meningeal mast cell degranulation and number, in-vivo. It also diminished capsaicin-induced CGRP release from ex-vivo meningeal, trigeminal ganglion and brainstem preparations. Specific TRESK inhibitor A2764 abolished all effects of cloxyquin in in-vivo and ex-vivo. Combining cloxyquin and sumatriptan exerted a synergistic effect ex-vivo, but not in-vivo.
Significance
Our findings provide the experimental evidence for the anti-migraine effect of TRESK activation in migraine-like conditions. The modulation of TRESK channels may therefore be an attractive alternative strategy to relieve migraine pain.
期刊介绍：
Life Sciences is an international journal publishing articles that emphasize the molecular, cellular, and functional basis of therapy. The journal emphasizes the understanding of mechanism that is relevant to all aspects of human disease and translation to patients. All articles are rigorously reviewed.
The Journal favors publication of full-length papers where modern scientific technologies are used to explain molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms. Articles that merely report observations are rarely accepted. Recommendations from the Declaration of Helsinki or NIH guidelines for care and use of laboratory animals must be adhered to. Articles should be written at a level accessible to readers who are non-specialists in the topic of the article themselves, but who are interested in the research. The Journal welcomes reviews on topics of wide interest to investigators in the life sciences. We particularly encourage submission of brief, focused reviews containing high-quality artwork and require the use of mechanistic summary diagrams.
