This effectively blocks the Na<sup>+</sup> pore and prevents further influx of Na<sup>+</sup>, therefore preventing further depolarization. Similarly, when the cell reaches its minimum (most negative) voltage during [[Hyperpolarization (biology)|hyperpolarization]], the 4th segments respond by moving outward, thus reopening the pore and allowing Na<sup>+</sup> to flow into the cell.<ref name="Catterall_2005">{{cite journal | vauthors = Catterall WA, Perez-Reyes E, Snutch TP, Striessnig J | title = International Union of Pharmacology.

Both [[Nav1.8|Na<sub>v</sub>1.8]] and Na<sub>v</sub>1.9 have been shown to play a role in [[bone cancer]] associated pain using a rat model of bone cancer. The [[dorsal root ganglion]] of lumbar 4-5 of rats with bone cancer were shown to have [[Downregulation and upregulation|up-regulation]] of [[Nav1.8|Na<sub>v</sub>1.8]] and Na<sub>v</sub>1.9 [[Messenger RNA|mRNA]] expression as well as an increase in total number of these alpha subunits.

The role of Na<sub>v</sub>1.9 in chronic inflammatory joint pain has been demonstrated in rat models of chronic inflammatory knee pain. Expression of Na<sub>v</sub>1.9 in the [[afferent neurons]] of the [[dorsal root ganglion]] was found to be elevated as many as four weeks after the onset of the inflammatory pain.

=== Gain-of-function mutations ===
There are currently many known [[gain-of-function mutation]]s in the human ''SCN11A'' gene that are associated with various pain abnormalities. The majority of these mutations lead to the experience of episodic pain, mainly in the joints of the extremities. In some of these mutants, the pain symptoms began in early childhood and diminished somewhat with age,<ref name="Han_2015">{{cite journal | vauthors = Han C, Yang Y, Te Morsche RH, Drenth JP, Politei JM, Waxman SG, Dib-Hajj SD | title = Familial gain-of-function Nav1.9 mutation in a painful channelopathy | journal = Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry | volume = 88 | issue = 3 | pages = 233–240 | date = March 2017 | pmid = 27503742 | doi = 10.1136/jnnp-2016-313804 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Zhang XY, Wen J, Yang W, Wang C, Gao L, Zheng LH, Wang T, Ran K, Li Y, Li X, Xu M, Luo J, Feng S, Ma X, Ma H, Chai Z, Zhou Z, Yao J, Zhang X, Liu JY | title = Gain-of-function mutations in SCN11A cause familial episodic pain | journal = American Journal of Human Genetics | volume = 93 | issue = 5 | pages = 957–66 | date = November 2013 | pmid = 24207120 | doi = 10.1016/j.ajhg.2013.09.016 | pmc=3824123}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Leipold E, Hanson-Kahn A, Frick M, Gong P, Bernstein JA, Voigt M, Katona I, Oliver Goral R, Altmüller J, Nürnberg P, Weis J, Hübner CA, Heinemann SH, Kurth I | title = Cold-aggravated pain in humans caused by a hyperactive NaV1.9 channel mutant | journal = Nature Communications | volume = 6 | pages = 10049 | date = December 2015 | pmid = 26645915 | doi = 10.1038/ncomms10049 | pmc=4686659}}</ref> but some of the mutants were asymptomatic until later in adulthood.<ref name="Huang_2014">{{cite journal | vauthors = Huang J, Han C, Estacion M, Vasylyev D, Hoeijmakers JG, Gerrits MM, Tyrrell L, Lauria G, Faber CG, Dib-Hajj SD, Merkies IS, Waxman SG | title = Gain-of-function mutations in sodium channel Na(v)1.9 in painful neuropathy | journal = Brain | volume = 137 | issue = Pt 6 | pages = 1627–42 | date = June 2014 | pmid = 24776970 | doi = 10.1093/brain/awu079 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Han C, Yang Y, de Greef BT, Hoeijmakers JG, Gerrits MM, Verhamme C, Qu J, Lauria G, Merkies IS, Faber CG, Dib-Hajj SD, Waxman SG | title = The Domain II S4-S5 Linker in Nav1.9: A Missense Mutation Enhances Activation, Impairs Fast Inactivation, and Produces Human Painful Neuropathy | journal = Neuromolecular Medicine | volume = 17 | issue = 2 | pages = 158–69 | date = June 2015 | pmid = 25791876 | doi = 10.1007/s12017-015-8347-9 }}</ref> Many of these conditions are also accompanied by gastrointestinal disturbances such as constipation and diarrhea.<ref name="Han_2015" /><ref name="Huang_2014" /> Additionally, one gain-of-function mutation on ''SCN11A'' has been linked with a congenital inability to experience pain.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Leipold E, Liebmann L, Korenke GC, Heinrich T, Giesselmann S, Baets J, Ebbinghaus M, Goral RO, Stödberg T, Hennings JC, Bergmann M, Altmüller J, Thiele H, Wetzel A, Nürnberg P, Timmerman V, De Jonghe P, Blum R, Schaible HG, Weis J, Heinemann SH, Hübner CA, Kurth I | title = A de novo gain-of-function mutation in SCN11A causes loss of pain perception | journal = Nature Genetics | volume = 45 | issue = 11 | pages = 1399–404 | date = November 2013 | pmid = 24036948 | doi = 10.1038/ng.2767 }}</ref>
 
=== As a drug target for pain relief ===
The role of Na<sub>v</sub>1.9 in inflammatory and neuropathic pain has made it a potential drug target for pain relief. It is thought that a drug that targets Na<sub>v</sub>1.9 could be used to decrease pain effectively while avoiding the many side effects associated with other high-strength [[analgesic]]s.<ref name="Dib-Hajj_2015" /> Topical [[menthol]] blocks both [[Nav1.8|Na<sub>v</sub>1.8]] and Na<sub>v</sub>1.9 channels in the [[dorsal root ganglion]].

Sodium channel, voltage-gated, type XI, alpha subunit also known as SCN11A or Nav1.9 is a voltage-gated sodium ion channel protein which is encoded by the SCN11A gene on chromosome 3 in humans.[1][2] Like Nav1.7 and Nav1.8, Nav1.9 plays a role in pain perception. This channel is largely expressed in small-diameter nociceptors of the dorsal root ganglion and trigeminal ganglion neurons,[1][3] but is also found in intrinsic myenteric neurons.[4]

Function

Voltage-gated sodium channels are membrane protein complexes that play a fundamental role in the rising phase of the action potential in most excitable cells. Alpha subunits, such as SCN11A, mediate voltage-dependent gating and conductance, while auxiliary beta subunits regulate the kinetic properties of the channel and facilitate membrane localization of the complex. Aberrant expression patterns or mutations of alpha subunits underlie a number of disorders. Each alpha subunit consists of 4 domains connected by 3 intracellular loops; each domain consists of 6 transmembrane segments and intra- and extracellular linkers.[5] The 4th transmembrane segment of each domain is the voltage-sensing region of the channel. Following depolarization of the cell, voltage-gated sodium channels become inactivated through a change in conformation in which the 4th segments in each domain move into the pore region in response to the highly positive voltage expressed at the peak of the action potential. This effectively blocks the Na+ pore and prevents further influx of Na+, therefore preventing further depolarization. Similarly, when the cell reaches its minimum (most negative) voltage during hyperpolarization, the 4th segments respond by moving outward, thus reopening the pore and allowing Na+ to flow into the cell.[6]

Nav1.9 is known to play a role in nociception, having been linked to the perception of inflammatory, neuropathic,[3] and cold-related pain.[7] It does this primarily through its ability to lower the threshold potential of the neuron, allowing for an increase in action potential firing that leads to hyperexcitability of the neuron and increased pain perception. Because of this role in altering the threshold potential, Nav1.9 is considered a threshold channel.[8][9] Though most sodium channels are blocked by tetrodotoxin, Nav1.9 is tetrodotoxin-resistant due to the presence of serine on an extracellular linker that plays a role in the selectivity of the pore for Na+.[3] This property is found in similar channels, namely Nav1.8,[6] and has been associated with slower channel kinetics than the tetrodotoxin-sensitive sodium channels.[10] In Nav1.9, this is mostly associated with the slower speed at which channel inactivation occurs.[3]

Animal models of pain

Both Nav1.8 and Nav1.9 have been shown to play a role in bone cancer associated pain using a rat model of bone cancer. The dorsal root ganglion of lumbar 4-5 of rats with bone cancer were shown to have up-regulation of Nav1.8 and Nav1.9 mRNA expression as well as an increase in total number of these alpha subunits. These results suggest that tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage gated sodium channels are involved in the development and maintenance of bone cancer pain.[11]

The role of Nav1.9 in chronic inflammatory joint pain has been demonstrated in rat models of chronic inflammatory knee pain. Expression of Nav1.9 in the afferent neurons of the dorsal root ganglion was found to be elevated as many as four weeks after the onset of the inflammatory pain. These results indicated that this alpha subunit plays some role in the maintenance of chronic inflammatory pain.[12]

Clinical significance

Gain-of-function mutations

There are currently many known gain-of-function mutations in the human SCN11A gene that are associated with various pain abnormalities. The majority of these mutations lead to the experience of episodic pain, mainly in the joints of the extremities. In some of these mutants, the pain symptoms began in early childhood and diminished somewhat with age,[13][14][15] but some of the mutants were asymptomatic until later in adulthood.[16][17] Many of these conditions are also accompanied by gastrointestinal disturbances such as constipation and diarrhea.[13][16] Additionally, one gain-of-function mutation on SCN11A has been linked with a congenital inability to experience pain.[18]

As a drug target for pain relief

The role of Nav1.9 in inflammatory and neuropathic pain has made it a potential drug target for pain relief. It is thought that a drug that targets Nav1.9 could be used to decrease pain effectively while avoiding the many side effects associated with other high-strength analgesics.[3] Topical menthol blocks both Nav1.8 and Nav1.9 channels in the dorsal root ganglion. Menthol inhibits action potentials by dampening the Na+ channel activity without affecting normal neural activity in the affected area.[19] Nav1.9 has also been proposed as a target to treat oxaliplatin induced cold-associated pain side effects.[7]
