Transduction mechanisms in airway sensory nerves

Journal of Applied Physiology
Thomas E Taylor-Clark, Bradley J Undem

Abstract

The induction of action potentials in airway sensory nerves relies on events leading to the opening of cation channels in the nerve terminal membrane and subsequent membrane depolarization. If the membrane depolarization is of sufficient rate and amplitude, action potential initiation will occur. The action potentials are then conducted to the central nervous system, leading to the initiation of various sensations and cardiorespiratory reflexes. Triggering events in airway sensory nerves include mechanical perturbation, inflammatory mediators, pH, temperature, and osmolarity acting through a variety of ionotropic and metabotropic receptors. Action potential initiation can be modulated (positively or negatively) through independent mechanisms caused mainly by autacoids and other metabotropic receptor ligands. Finally, gene expression of sensory nerves can be altered in adult mammals. This neuroplasticity can change the function of sensory nerves and likely involve both neurotrophin and use-dependent mechanisms. Here we provide a brief overview of some of the transduction mechanisms underlying these events.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.
