• Abstract: Objetivo: PNV causes pain and oedema in man and promotes neurogenic oedema formation in rat skin (Eur. J. Pharmacol. 391:305, 2000). To test whether PNV contains a chemical activator of sensory C-fibres we used the grease-gap technique to compare the actions of PNV with those of capsaicin on the rat vagus nerve. Métodos e Resultados: Male Wistar rats were killed humanely and the excised nerves were placed in buffer (mM): 130 NaCl, 1 CaCl2, 1 MgCl2, 3 KCl, 11 glucose, 5 HEPES; pH 7.4. The nerves were desheathed and transferred to grease-gap recording chambers. The D.C. potential between the ends of the nerve was measured using extracellular Ag/AgCl electrodes. PNV depolarised the nerve (0.18±0.3, 0.27±0.07 and 0.62±0.13 mV at 0.3, 3 and 10 mg/ml respectively, n=11). Homologous desensitisation was not observed when PNV (10 mg/ml) was re-applied 30 min after the first application. At 0.3 mM capsaicin depolarized the nerve (0.63±0.10 mV, n=5) but had no effect on subsequent PNV responses but at 5 mM, capsaicin desensitised the nerve to subsequent application of PNV. Ruthenium red (n=5) inhibited capsaicin (0.3 mM) responses (from 0.55±0.16 mV to 0.49±0.13, 0.26±0.13* and 0.17±0.05* mV at 1, 3 and 10 mM, respectively) but did not reduce PNV responsesTetrodotoxin (n=4) blocked the PNV depolarisation (from 0.30±0.05 mV to 0.18±0.02, 0.15±0.05 and 0.05±0.03* mV at 1, 3 and 10 mM, respectively) but had no effect on capsaicin responses. The 5-HT4 receptor antagonistRS39604 (n=7) abolished the PNV depolarisation (from 0.61±0.11 mV to 0.23±0.09* and 0.07±0.02* mV at 1 and 10 mM respectively) and significantly inhibited 5-HT (3 mM, n = 5) responses (from 0.71±0.06 mV to 0.46±0.04* and 0.39±0.07* mV, respectively). Both veratridine (30 mM) and KCl (10 mM)-induced depolarisation were unaffected by RS39604. Conclusões: In the vagus nerve the PNV-induced response involves activation of Na+ channels and 5-HT4 receptors. The lack of effect of PNV after a high capsaicin concentration suggests that the venom acts on capsaicin-sensitive C-fibres. The evidence indicates that PNV contains a previously unidentified 5-HT4 agonist that may have functional relevance in mediating the pain observed after spider bites
