The endogenous ligand of CB1
cannabinoid receptors, anandamide, is also a full agonist at
vanilloid VR1 receptors for capsaicin and resiniferatoxin, thereby
causing an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in
human VR1-overexpressing (hVR1-HEK) cells. Two selective inhibitors of
anandamide facilitated transport into cells, VDM11 and VDM13, and two
inhibitors of anandamide enzymatic hydrolysis, phenylmethylsulfonyl
fluoride and methylarachidonoyl fluorophosphonate, inhibited and
enhanced, respectively, the VR1-mediated effect of anandamide, but not
of resiniferatoxin or capsaicin. The nitric oxide donor, sodium
nitroprusside, known to stimulate anandamide transport, enhanced
anandamide effect on the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration.
Accordingly, hVR1-HEK cells contain an anandamide membrane transporter
inhibited by VDM11 and VDM13 and activated by sodium nitroprusside, and
an anandamide hydrolase activity sensitive to phenylmethylsulfonyl
fluoride and methylarachidonoyl fluorophosphonate, and a fatty acid
amide hydrolase transcript. These findings suggest the following. (i)
Anandamide activates VR1 receptors by acting at an intracellular site.
(ii) Degradation by fatty acid amide hydrolase limits anandamide
activity on VR1; and (iii) the anandamide membrane transporter
inhibitors can be used to distinguish between CB1 or VR1
receptor-mediated actions of anandamide. By contrast, the
CB1 receptor antagonist SR141716A inhibited also the
VR1-mediated effect of anandamide and capsaicin on cytosolic
Ca2+ concentration, although at concentrations higher than
those required for CB1 antagonism.
