Abstract
Recently, we described estrogen and agonists of the G-protein coupled estrogen receptor GPR30 to induce protein kinase C (PKC)epsilon-dependent pain sensitization. PKCepsilon phosphorylates the ion channel transient receptor potential, vanilloid subclass I (TRPV1) close to a novel microtubule-TRPV1 binding site. We now modeled the binding of tubulin to the TRPV1 C-terminus. The model suggests PKCepsilon phosphorylation of TRPV1-S800 to abolish the tubulin-TRPV1 interaction. Indeed, in vitro PKCepsilon phosphorylation of TRPV1 hindered tubulin-binding to TRPV1. In vivo, treatment of sensory neurons and F-11 cells with estrogen and the GPR30 agonist, G-1, resulted in microtubule destabilization and retraction of microtubules from filopodial structures. We found estrogen and G-1 to regulate the stability of the microtubular network via PKC phosphorylation of the PKCepsilon-phosphorylation site TRPV1-S800. Microtubule disassembly was not, however, dependent on TRPV1 ion conductivity. TRPV1 knock-down in rats inverted the effect of the microtubule-modulating drugs, Taxol and Nocodazole, on estrogen-induced and PKCepsilon-dependent mechanical pain sensitization. Thus, we suggest the C-terminus of TRPV1 to be a signaling intermediate downstream of estrogen and PKCepsilon, regulating microtubule-stability and microtubule-dependent pain sensitization.
