RESUMEN

Noxious stimuli activate nociceptive sensory neurons, causing action potential firing and the release of diverse signaling molecules. Several peptides have already been identified to be released by sensory neurons and shown to modulate inflammatory responses and inflammatory pain. However, it is still unclear whether lipid mediators can be released upon sensory neuron activation to modulate intercellular communication. Here, we analyzed the lipid secretome of capsaicin-stimulated nociceptive neurons with LC-HRMS, revealing that oleic acid is strongly released from sensory neurons by capsaicin. We further demonstrated that oleic acid inhibits capsaicin-induced calcium transients in sensory neurons and reverses bradykinin-induced TRPV1 sensitization by a calcineurin (CaN) and GPR40 (FFAR1) dependent pathway. Additionally, oleic acid alleviated zymosan-mediated thermal hypersensitivity via the GPR40, suggesting that the capsaicin-mediated oleic acid release from sensory neurons acts as a protective and feedback mechanism, preventing sensory neurons from nociceptive overstimulation via the GPR40/CaN/TRPV1-axis.
