nervous system
• dissociated trigeminal neurons respond to toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is almost completely abolished compared with similarly treated wild-type neurons
(J:160860)
• dissociated trigeminal neurons fail to respond to allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) unlike similarly treated neurons
(J:160860)
• however, neurons respond normally to capsaicin
(J:160860)
• the selective TRPA1 channel agonist allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) is ineffective in increasing cytosolic calcium in neurons unlike similarly treated wild-type cells
(J:161343)
• trigeminal neurons fail to respond to 15-deoxy-delta12,14-prostagladin J2 unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
(J:161343)
• no bronchopulmonary C nerve fibre terminals pretreated with ruthenium red respond to 10 um or 100 um 4-oxononenal (4ONE) compared with 2 of 5 similarly treated wild-type fibres
(J:161343)
• however, C-fibres respond normally to capsaicin
(J:161343)

• vagal sensory neurons fail to respond to 10 um 4-oxononenal (4ONE) unlike similarly treated wild-type cells
• 63 out of 144 100 um 4ONE-treated neurons exhibit a calcium response unlike similarly treated wild-type cells
• 66 of 151 neurons treated with ruthenium and a pharmacological blockade of TRPV1 respond with a maximal response to 4ONE at all doses compared with 182 of 276 similarly treated wild-type cells

respiratory system
• exposure to allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) or 1% toluene diisocyanate (TDI) fails to decrease respiratory rate or increase in time to braking unlike in similarly treated wild-type mice
• the decrease in respiratory rate following exposure to formalin is attenuated compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• mice exposed with 1% TDI do not exhibit a change in expiratory flow at half tidal volume unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, mice exposed to nicotine exhibit a decrease in respiratory rate as in wild-type mice
