Dual mechanism of modulation of Na<sub>V</sub>1.8 sodium channels by ouabain
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the primary sensory neuron, ouabain activates the dual mechanism that modulates the functional activity of NaV1.8 channels. Ouabain at endogenous concentrations (EO) triggers two different signaling cascades, in which the Na,K-ATPase/Src complex is the EO target and the signal transducer. The fast EO effect is based on modulation of the NaV1.8 channel activation gating device. EO triggers the tangential signaling cascade along the neuron membrane from Na,K-ATPase to the NaV1.8 channel. It evokes a decrease in effective charge transfer of the NaV1.8 channel activation gating device. Intracellular application of PP2, an inhibitor of Src kinase, completely eliminated the effect of EO, thus indicating the absence of direct EO binding to the NaV1.8 channel. The delayed EO effect probably controls the density of NaV1.8 channels in the neuron membrane. EO triggers the downstream signaling cascade to the neuron genome, which should result in a delayed decrease in the NaV1.8 channels’ density. PKC and p38 MAPK are involved in this pathway. Identification of the dual mechanism of the strong EO effect on NaV1.8 channels makes it possible to suggest that application of EO to the primary sensory neuron membrane should result in a potent antinociceptive effect at the organismal level.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
