Objective:To investigate the effects of P2X3 receptor(P2X3R)on neuronal excitability in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells of rats. Methods:The localization of P2X3 R was detected by immunofluorescence. Sprague-Dawle rats were euthanized via decapitation after anesthetization and the brain tissues were trimmed and placed in a vibratome to obtain a slice thickness of 350 μm.The slices then were incubated in normal artificial cerebrospinal fluid at 26 ℃ for 1 h. Intervention of AF-353 and α
β-Me ATP was performed and the action potentials(APs)frequency was recorded via whole cell patch-clamp technique. Results:The P2X3 R was located at the neuron instead of the astrocyte in hippocampal CA1 region. The antagonist of AF-353 decelerated the APs frequency and reduced cellular excitability[(0.788±0.163)Hz vs.(0.352±0.079)Hz
t=7.32
P=0.002] whereas α
β-Me ATP agonist had the reverse effects[(0.715±0.186)Hz vs.(1.610±0.454)Hz
t=-4.97
P=0.008]. Conclusion:P2X3R effect neuronal excitability and may participate in the process and development of diseases related to hyperexcitability.
