Endothelin-1 acts on endothelial cells to enhance mechanical stimulation-induced release of ATP, which in turn can act on sensory neurons innervating blood vessels to contribute to vascular pain, a phenomenon we have referred to as stimulus-dependent hyperalgesia (SDH). In the present study we evaluated the role of the major classes of ATP release mechanisms to SDH: vesicular exocytosis, plasma membrane associated ATP synthase, ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) transporters, and ion channels. Inhibitors of vesicular exocytosis (i.e., monensin, brefeldin A and bafilomycin), plasma membrane associated ATPase (i.e., oligomycin and pigment epithelium-derived factor-derived peptide 34-mer) and connexin ion channels (carbenoxolone and flufenamic acid), but not ABC transporters (i.e., dipyridamole, nicardipine or CFTRinh-172) attenuated stimulus-dependent hyperalgesia. These studies support a role of ATP in SDH, and suggest novel targets for the treatment of vascular pain syndromes.
